Bad Reputation

//Chapter Eleven//

I dropped my pencil, making a light grey mark on the heels on my shoes, on my newly drawn picture.
"Shit."i cursed, standing up and slipping on my baby blue cardigan, then walking downstairs to find my brother, Mom and Dad already congregating in the living room.
"Belle. Darling."my dad said, cupping my face and kissing my forehead.
"What?"i spat, pulling away from his grip on my face.
"Darling? Are you in a bad mood?"he half yelled, raising his voice making me and my Mom and Brother jump.
"N-no."i shook, trying to show a smile.
"Well go make my dinner, half an hour and I want food. Get going."he ordered to me, as I scurried off and started piling out pots and pans, to make him spaghetti.
Niall
I stood with Mom, as she caught my hand, and held it tightly behind my back, edging us closer, knowing she was terrified.
"Marie, get my coffee on please."he shooed, pushing her away and kicking his shoes off, lying on the recliner.
"And son. You've got so grown up since I last saw you."he laughed, grazing his eyes up and down my body as my jaw clenched, restraining me from punching the life out of him.
"Yeah. You've not changed at all."i smirked, cracking my knuckles as his face scrunched up in disgust, knowing that he hated the noise.
"Stop that at once!!"he yelled, jumping off the couch and grabbing my throat.
"Derran, please leave him alone."my Mom cried, popping through the kitchen door.
"How do suppose you'll make me do that?!"he scoffed, gripping my throat tighter as I lengthened up my knee getting ready to knee him in the crotch.
"Please Derran."she whined, stepping closer and showing the plead in her eyes.
"Stop asking me for things!"he yelled, getting close up in her face as I went to speak but pulled me closer to them by the neck again.
I spotted Belle, sneaking through the patio doors with a frying pan, oh god.

"Hey! Get out!"she yelled to him as he released me and my Mom as he turned to her and ran to grab her hair as she swung the pan squeezing her eyes closed so she didn't she the impact.

Belle

I swung the pan and closed my eyes so I didn't see him get hurt.
I heard a yell then opened them, and gazed to see my Dad lying on the floor holding his jaw.

"Why did you do this?"he said, opening and closing his mouth before speaking.

"Because we know you. We aren't afraid. So get out if you are going to hurt us."i said, grabbing my Mom and Niall and holding them close to me.
My Dad scrambled off the floor and rushed to his shoes, putting them on with one hand holding his jaw with the other. Then grabbing his keys and entering his car, and driving away.

I closed my door once the girls walked in.
"So what'cha wearing?"Clarity said taking a seat on my bed.
"This."i grinned, pulling the white dress out from behind my back, as her eyes lit up.
"Wow."Charlie said, walking over to me and lifting the bottom edge of the dress up and stroking it with her thumb.
"Good quality. Where did you get it?"she said, locking eyes with me.
"Forever 21, I got it like two years ago, I've never wore it."i said looking at the floor rocking on my heels.
"You should have. You probably look good as hell in it."Clarity said as we both looked round to her looking about my room, picking up some of my things and inspecting them.
"What are you doing?"i said, giggling to myself, gazing at Clarity poking around my property.
"Just inspecting, I like other peoples stuff."she smiled, then opened my art sketch book.
"These drawing are so amaz- what's this?"she said holding up my art book with the portrait of Harry.
"I-"I stuttered, my jaw dropping open, as she scanned her eyes over the drawing.
"You drew Rider?! Why were you with him?!"she yelled, throwing the book onto the floor.
"His name isn't Rider, and I wasn't with him."i said, my voice going extremely quiet.
"Well what's his name then?!"Clarity raged, cocking a hand on her hip.
"H-h"i stuttered again.
"Say it?"she demanded, becoming impatient.
"Harry!!"i cried, running into my bathroom.
I heard Charlie call my name over and over, and she banged on the door but I heard no sympathy what so ever from Clarity who had me get into this mess.
"Please, Belle. Come out babe."Charlie spoke, as I heard her back slide down the door.
"No. She yelled at me."i moaned, wiping the tear that had feel down my cheek and dribbled onto the rim of my jaw.
"She's gone. She left, she's going to get ready at her house. Now come on."Charlie said, standing up again, her feet, landing on the ground helping her stand, from the sounds on the other side of the door.
"Okay, but if your lying to me. I swear.."i said, opening the door, and sliding out meeting face to face with Charlie.
"Let's get ready."she said, pulling me to the dressing table.
