The Secret Promise

First day of school

.: FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL:.

I woke up to the sound of my alarm sounding, I looked around and realised I wasn’t in my normal white room then the realisation set in, I wasn’t at my dad’s house anymore. I sighed getting up and taking a shower.

I spent the next 10mins looking around my closet to find appropriate clothes for school today, I had to make an impression today. I sighed eyeing all of the clothes Val and I bought the other day, I heard people yelling somewhere in the house and I heard something smash along with a grunt of pain, I clutched my necklace, inside it had a picture of my dad’s together and engraved on the front said “Love is love”. I let out a shaky breath trying not to think of them because I knew it would bring me to tears.

I held my posture high and walked out into the hallway, still realising that Im in my towel, but I don’t care these guys are my family now and I appreciate them. I looked to my left and saw Jack staggering by his door and Finn angrily walking towards the stairs his hands were balled into fists and he glanced up at me he seemed to calm down a bit then he looked disappointed. His face grew angrier by the minute and he marched down stairs and went into the garden.

My head shot back towards the door where Jack was, he was weakly propping himself up with his arm leaning against the door. I jogged up to him and saw that there was blood seeping through his fingers, I pulled his hand away from his mouth and saw that he had a cut lip and a slightly bruised eye. I gasped and he flinched trying to go down the stairs to see Finn.

“Leave him, Jack” I said sternly, pushing him back slightly.

He sighed and moved towards the bathroom, I stood in the doorway and watched him fiddle with the bandages in the first aid kit. I smiled a little at this, then I walked over to him and put my hands over his grasping the bandage he looked at me quizzically then perched himself to sit on the bathroom’s counter I got a cloth and slightly dabbed his lip. Then I poured some alcohol on it and dabbed it again he winced this time and I gave him a smile. I decided that I would put some butterfly stiches on his lip to help the wound close up better.

The whole time he was silent, just watching me clean his lip up. I patted his thigh to signal that I was finished.

“And you’re done” I smiled.

“Thank you” he said as if he was embarrassed.

“I should be the one thanking you, you and Finn have done so much for me and I’ve only been here for 3 days” i smiled.

“Nobody’s ever done that for me….” He said looking at me curiously.

I just smiled walking out of his bathroom slightly remembering I was in a towel and made my way back to my closet.

I decided on some black skinnies, a baggy dark grey t-shirt and a pair of white conversers.  I fumbled, putting a couple pens and books into my shoulder bag, I loved this bag it had all of my favourite bands logos sewn onto it thanks to my dad!

Remembering, I pulled out my phone and dialled Eddie’s number.

“SWEETHEART!” I heard his voice and I immediately chocked on my own voice.

“d-dad” I whispered.

“What’s happened love?” he asked, too worried.

“n-nothing it’s just nice to hear your voice” I whispered again.

“Oh honey” he said sounding sad.

“Here’s your lemonade darling” I heard a voice in the background.

“DAD” I yelled immediately knowing it was Regan.

“BELLA? IS THAT BELLA?” I heard him flutter.
