Life's What You Make It

Chapter 4

Beyoncé's pov

What in God's name has just happened?

"See, I said something wasn't right" I said turning to face Nicki.

"I know, but what were we to do? What are we to do? We still don't know the facts. For all we know she could've banged her cheek..." I gave her a look. "I know it's unlikely but we really can't be getting anyone involved until we know everything."

"Nicki, she comes to school, has a melt down and storms out with a bruise on her cheek... I don't know about you, but it sounds to me like somethings happened." I stated. "Have we noticed anything else unusual?"

"She came to school with Jordyn this morning, but they live on separate sides of the area, and I don't think I've ever seen them come in together for as long as I've been here. If she was gonna come in with someone, it's Nathan..." I nodded. "She was in a mood from the get go, snarled me when she walked through the gate, said it was because you rang her mum. You don't think they've had an argument?"

"Hm, could be, she seemed pretty adamant she didn't want us to get her involved. You know, I don't think I've ever met her mum, the 4 years I've been in this school, not once has she came to a parents evening. I normally have to ring her."

"I say get her in. Get them both in after school one day. Say it's compulsory or some shit."

"Yeah but I'd hate to spark something up. We'll leave it for now, have the weekend to think what to do. See what happens on Monday and pull Jasmine in and go from there?" I questioned.

"Sounds good, you're the boss" she replied.

After a few more minutes just chatting, I made my way out and drove home. Shawn was just pulling up as I got out my car.

"Hey baby" he said kissing me as we walked inside.

"Hey, how was work?"

"Not bad, sent two people down for a drugs related case, how about you?" He asked as we flopped down on the sofa, cuddling up.

"Oh you don't want to know," I laughed, "but what would be the right thing to do if someone came into school with a bruised cheek?"

"Have you asked them about it?"

"Yeah, said it was nothing then ran out"

"Get the parents in, that shits not normal"

"Hm, that's what I thought..." I sighed. "Anyway, enough about work stuff, Blue's with my mum tonight..." I said, he instantly knew what I was getting at, kissed me and carried me up the stairs into our bedroom and shut the door.

Jasmine's pov

I ran out of school, and when I knew I was far enough, I pulled out my makeup bag, getting my mirror to see what my cheek looked like. Hm, it didn't look too bad, I've had worse. But it was definitely turning into a bruise. I sighed. Time to tell Jordyn.

"Hello?" I called out when I got into Jordyn's house

"What the fuck happened to you back there?" She laughed, coming down the stairs in her pjs. "Swear you were possessed, you fucking flipped girl!"

"She annoyed me." I semi laughed. "Anyway, we need to talk." I said as we went up to her room and sat on the bed

"Sure what about? You don't fancy me do you?" She said lightening the mood.

"Fancy you?! Fat chance hun" I laughed. "Mum hit me yesterday" I said with no emotion, waiting to see her reaction.

"You know, I thought it was weird, that mark on your cheek I mean. Why?"
