His Broken girl

It takes everything in me not to cry as I walk my way to school. Never a happy day in my home, I am so glad I will be 18 soon. Then i can leave that hell hole. On the way to school I knock on my boyfriends door, He rips it ope. with a massive smile on his face "Hey Baby! wait whats wrong?" I knew i was going to be late but its either get it out now, or let the bullies make it worse. James ushers me in and instantly my arms curl around me. My face stings, and im wearing a light cardigan in hot weather to cover up my bruises. "Hey come here" James pulled me into him as i sobbed into him,tears pouring down my cheeks."I...I..I'm sorry." I say as I pull away from him, I wipe my eyes and all those tears, head to the bathroom and put on some makeup, to cover it all up, I took a deep breath and walked out of the bathroom. James had changed his shirt. "You ok? Do I need to beat some one up?" that made me giggle a little and shake my head. "No I'm fine, lets go."He took my hand and we headed to school. "you gonna tell me whats going on, what had you so upset?" He stopped walking pulling me to a stop too. "I uh I just had a really bad dream" I lied. I hate Lying to everyone but if anyone found out, and He found out, it could put my mum in hospital again. and i dont want that. not again. I have vowed i would tell him and my friends when im out of the house and can move mum and siblings out with me. "oh baby, no need to get so emotional over a dream, what happened, I cheated or something dumb?" James asked woth a smirk. " Uh no you died in my dream, it just felt so real. im sorry you are right it is dumb to cry over a dream." I let out a nervous little giggle as we continued to walk hand in hand.If only I could tell him the truth. The school was hussle and bussle as normal, The Bell Rang and we headed to class. James Instantly dropped my hand and wiped it on his shorts. I dont think much of it. We parted He had Metal work and I had home economics. We chose different classes so we wouldnt get to bored of each other, this was his idea. it made me feel sad but i understood, i didnt want to be a burden to him like i am at home. Just as I reached the home economic class,I was suddenly lifted off the ground in a massive bear hig from behined. "Mikey!!" I yell giggling. Mikey is my best friend, She is a real bombshell, Tall, blonde, long legs, Hot, but quirky, she never failed to plaster a smile on my face, and is highly protective of me. No one is safe from her when she is pissed. Today She has chosen her Harding boy T shirt, black wrist bands, black makeup, her nails were painted black as well. Mikey put me on my feet and spin me around, I am fairly short, long Auburn hair, freckles, and not very a confident person. Mikey grabbed my arms and bent down to look into my eyes. "Hey, Whats wrong? Who did what? and do i need a bodybag and shovel?" I giggled again knowing full well she would if i let her which is precisly why I told her "No nothing, I am fine" she squeezed my arm a little tighter and i tried not to wince from the bruise she was unknowingly squeezing. "Dont lie to me, you might be able to cover your face in makeup, but your eyes are bloodshot ...whats happened!" I wasnt getting out of this. "Its really nothing just a bad dream, I dreamed that James died, now lets get inside before the second bell, and end up in detention" Mikey sighed " I wish you would let me put him in a body bag" she muttered under breath as we entered The class, I rolled my eyes. The morning was forgotten as Mikey and I worked together to make a cheese cake from scratch.We already made the cheese two days ago so it was ready to add in. once we got the cakes into the fridge we started the clean up, The first break bell rang out and we all went to Recess. "Can I ask you something Jules?" I look up at her confused "of course, you can ask me anything you know this." she knows better than that. "I know but something has been weighing on me and i need to know why?" We stop walking to our lockers "why what?" I ask."Why do you let him treat you like this? He refuses to be seen holding your hand let alone talk to you in the school yard, He talks to you loke you are a small child, and i have seen him gaslight you on many occassions,Jules you need to get rid of him, you deserve so much better." I didnt kmow what to say, I didnt pick up pn any of that, I just figured its because I can be really annoying, I thought myself to be an ugly girl so the fact that I even had a boyfriend at all waa a miracal in itself.I opened my mouth to reply when i was suddenly knocked to the ground. "Terry you i***t, watch where you are going!"Mikey yelled.She helped me to my feet "Maybe you should watch where you are standing!"Terry retaliated, he walked off flipping us the bird as he went. Terry is Tall, muscular, tan and thinks he is so cool because he plays bass in a band. His hair is long and Shiny, it looks silky and smooth, if he wasnt such a d**k, and i didnt have a boyfriend I would love to run my hand through his hair.ugh. Mikey and I put our books into our Lockers and then headed to the library, where I am working on a resumè. We sat at the laptops and got to work. "Im going to get us a coffee from the canteen" Mikey spoke up. we are also applying for jobs and next period is free so we thought we would use this time to see what there is out there, as well as make cover letters for litrally everything. ugh. Why was this such a hard task?. I gave a nod in acknowledgement and she went off to caffinate us. five minutes later i felt someone touching my hair. "that was quick usually the canteen is still packed" I said not tearing my eyes from the screen. I held my hand out expecting a coffee to be placed there, instead, another hand landed in mine, I stare at my hand in confusion and then look up, to see Terry grinning like a moron. With that i attempt to take my hand back but he held on tighter, my heart started to race. Im not sure what to do or say,Panic starts up in my chest, what if James saw this? he would get so mad, omg. "Terry let go, what do you want?" He said nothing, he bought my hand to his mouth, kissed the back of my hand, let go and sat down next to me. what the hell? I went back to my job search."I have a boyfriend you know" I say to him still scrolling."Huh, funny never seen you with anyone? That shirt suits you by the way, and I dont care if you have a boyfriend or not." I blush but say nothing more. we sat at the laptops in silence, my mind not quite processing what just happened.
