Behind the lies

Chapter 2. Tuesdays's after pains.

i got up from my bed still asleep in my uniform. 

"great"

 for a split second i forgot about what had happened  until the pain from my face hit me soon as i rubbed the sleep out my eye. wincing from the pain i sneaked off to the family bathroom careful not to wake anyone. my eye was swollen the cut on my eyebrow still bleeding but not too bad. i couldn't hold it in anymore the shock from yesterday rushing back causing me to turn around and vomit into the toilet pan. I wasn't great with pain in fact i am like a big baby when it come's to pain and not only that but being sick. i always without fail cry out for my mum when i am being sick. but not right now. i had no way of knowing how she would react especially after last time it was this serious.

thinking of last time sent  shivers down my spine as i sat on the cold stone flooring hugging the toilet pan.

it was my 2nd year at school. it was okay i got ignored by the werewolf's i was careful never to bump into any them or say anything without being spoken to. apart from a few hurtful names that people called me. it was bearable. Until Duncan came along. he was the Alpha's nephew. no one really know's his backstory but supposedly his parents went to war with humans they despised human's and as far as anyone know his parents were killed by humans. he was the reason i had more of a target on my back.

i don't really remember much of that day the doctor said i was lucky after being pushed down two flights of stairs. i made the mistake of telling my mum it wasn't accident that the broken right leg i had was because people at the school were horrible to me.

my mother spent the entire day screaming at my father. she even packed her bags and my bags i remember we went to live with my gran for a few weeks my mother's mother.

my dad had to grovel at my mums feet my sister claire said i was lying trying to get mum to come home. unfortunately for me mum did  eventually give  in and told my dad that if it were to happen again she wouldn't come back.

so now i lie every time. every bruise, every limp the lot. mum calls me "clumsy jane" i never dare tell her otherwise. because i do love my family the thought of them splitting up because of me being me is horrible.

pulling myself up from the floor i quickly put down the toilet seat and flush the pain. i lift my eyes off the floor to see claire standing in the toilet

"what are you going to say to mum?" she whispered

"i fell" i said feeling defeated

"i can smell the blood it's still bleeding?" claire asked walking up to me her hands touching the cut on my eyebrow

i winced "ouch!" i cried

suddenly my father appeared

"What happened?" his voice was filled with concern

he quickly closed over the bathroom door i guess it was to make sure my mum didn't see or hear anything.

"that need's stitches" he grumbled to himself.

"take your sister to the pack clinic i will distract your mother" he instructed claire.

luckily the pack clinic was around the corner but that was the least of my problems. Claire became moody

"i can't believe i have to be here with you" she whined

i let out a smile trying to cover the fact my own sister didn't even like me hiding the sadness

she looked at me 

"Sorry you know i didn't mean it like that" she smiled

we walked into the clinic it was plain and grey the nurse i recognised straight away was my sister in law Kara she was my brother's mate. not that i knew anything about her i wasn't invited to the wedding and i have never even met my niece and nephew her family were traditional. human's were a no unless they were mated to a wolf.

kara's silver eye's instantly met mine and she quickly moved towards me grabbing me by the arm with claire following. i felt myself being bundled into a office

"You know she's human claire, she can't be in here" kara seethed

"My dad said to take her here"

"just do your job" claire growled

kara shook her head lifted my chin with her hand and without warning the stinging pain from antiseptic wipes cleaning my the deep cut.

"

this needs stitches" she muttered to her self.

Claire held my hand and smiled at me. whilst kara was stitching close the cut on my eyebrow

once the stitches closed the cut.. she then put a ice pack on my still swollen eye.

"hold this on your eye for ten minutes " kara instructed her voice emotionless.

she took her gloves off.

"soon as the ten minutes are up i want her out of here" she said looking at claire.

claire nodded, we both watched kara leave closing the door behind her.

me and claire used the back door the rain pouring down hard.

"i'm going to run home, i don't want to get wet" claire yelled as the rain was hammering down hard,

before i got a chance to say anything she took off. no chance i was going to catch upto her. the only thing i had was my hoodie on i forgot to take a jacket on as we left , i could of ran but i decided to just walk 

"i'm going to get wet either way" i muttered to myself

i got home drenched head to toe. 

"JANE" MY mother squealed i smiled at her as i closed the front door

"i was at the doctors forgot to take my jacket" i said faking a smile.

"your eye? stitches? what the hell happened" she quickly approached me examining my face

"I'm fine mum just clumsy me" i said jokingly still smiling i have been putting on this fake smile since forever it just came so natural

i could see in my mum's eyes that she was overthinking it that she was doubting my story.

i sat on the bottom staircase removing my shoes and socks her eye's still burning into me

 "i fell down the step outside school i had my headphones in" "i'm okay" i stood up

"are you sure?" she said the tone from her voice i knew she was instantly thinking the worse

"i'm not lying mum i would tell you if it wasn't" i nodded smiling.

"i will call school today let them know your not feeling well"

i nodded as i headed up stairs with the relief that my mum believed me. i hated lying to my mum. she wasn't just my mum she was also my best friend my only friend.

Friday .

the week had been uneventful friday was already here. Half day at high school today luckily my mum didn't make me go as i still had bruising on my face and even though she totally bought the whole tripping story i don't think she was 100 hundred percent convinced on it.

my parent's were at work and Claire was off to school. it was a boring morning. i was just sitting in the living room drawing in my art pad when the sound of the doorbell rang

"Ding Dong"

i looked up towards the living room door, it was a glass panel door which meant i could see directly into the hall where the front door was whoever was on the other side of the front door it was clear to know it was a girl as i could see purple colours from the other side of the glass at the front door. i got off my butt and made my way to the front door. opening it, was a shock to find Roxanne standing at my door at 9am she had a folder in her hand .

"i brought your homework" she said smiling offering it to me like nothing had happened

i forced a slight smile on my face and took the folder from her.

"thanks" i mumbled

i went to close the door suddenly roxanne's foot stopped it closing.

"I'm sorry about what that b***h did" she said. she sounded genuine there was no malice in her word's after all she was my friend right?

"you should know Duncan's pissed at you, your dad had word's with his uncle" she spoke like it was just a everyday thing

"when your back at school maybe you should apologies" roxanne suggested

that was it. my breaking point. it was as if i were having a outer body i don't know what exactly but  somehow the time had jumped to 12 in the afternoon, i was wearing different clothes instead of slouching around in my pj's i was wearing a simple pair of dark blue jegging's and a black t-shirt no socks it was clear i wasn't long out of the shower my hair was still damp but i found myself in the kitchen the only thing odd was the fact their was a dishtowel soaked in red liquid and the bin had ripped purple fabric sticking out of it as if something was stuffed in it and the the strong smell of bleach was irritating my nostrils. then i remember i was standing talking roxanne but there was no sign of her. 

"Roxanne?" i said looking about

without warning i was held by the neck up against the wall it was my father

"What did you do?" 

he was full on screaming in my face his spit flying everywhere my dad's face was red with anger  my feet were not even touching the ground. i was having my life force being chocked out of me. this was it. i always knew it was going to be one of these mutts that would kill me i just didn't expect it to be a member of my family.
