"Hi hoo Emily!" I heard Liam's voice call from in front of me. Anna gulped slightly and I looked at her, her eyes shone brightly as Liam approached, a hint of admiration in them making me smile. "hi Leyumm" I teased and he rolled his eyes, "this is Anna, Anna this is Liam" I introduced them both and Liam kindly hugged her making her eyes widen and I giggled lightly.

"Oh my god Emily actually has a friend who is a girl? Or is she your lesbian lover because you have had enough of sucking every guys dick you come across" I scowled as I turned to Harry's group of friends, Harry smirked but didn't say anything making me roll my eyes. "Hey lesbian" the one known as Jake chuckled looking directly at Anna making her shift awkwardly on her feet. "hey dickwad" I snarled at Jake making him look at me, "even if I was or she was a lesbian we would get more action from girls than you, so how bout you kindly fuck off" I growled making a few people's eyes widen I actually spoke back to them. Jake's eyes turned black as he walked towards me shoving Anna out the way, his fist raised to hit me directly in my face but Liam's tall figure jumped in just on queue and caught his fist. "Touch her and you deal with me" he glared at Jake. He was a lot more built than Jake making him cower away but he held a glare at me. "You wait Warburton, we'll get you when your bodyguard isn't there to protect you" he announced before the group strolled off. Harry not taking a second glance as he joined them.

"Knob heads" I muttered making Anna and Liam chuckle. "Anna I'm sorry you were involved in that" I said feeling guilty they bullied her. She just smiled making me reflect it, "don't worry, their snarky comments don't get to me but I just can't believe they went to hit you" she breathed and I looked down slightly embarrassed and Liam's arm wrapped around my shoulder comfortingly, "they have before but Liam is always there" I smiled weakly, "always love" he cheekily smiled back making Anna stare at him in even more awe than before.

The three of us strolled out the building, walking passed the group of boys that stole my best friend, none of them really paying attention to us. "Want me to drop both of you off" Liam offered, "do you mind if I come over, I don't want to be a burden like I was all week last week, but my dad is probably home right now and well.. You know" I sighed and Liam rubbed my forearm, "you're welcome anytime, would you like to join us Anna" and she nodded eagerly making me smile her way before we all got into Liam's car.

We were all sat in Liam's, both Anna and Liam flirting without realising making me smile at the two. I must say I ship them. "Lanna" I mumbled quietly smiling to myself making up their ship name. "What did you say Em" Liam gave me a questioning look but I shook my head, "I didn't say anything, do you guys want me to get you a drink" Liam's house was like a second home to me, so I know my way around and he doesn't mind seen as I am basically his sister. "Yeah sure" Anna and Liam said in sync and they looked at each other adoringly, "cuties" I grinned at the two making them both blush before I got up walking to get us all some pink lemonade.

I walked back into the room seeing them both quite close to each other now, I stood behind the pantry door watching and waiting for the right moment to bust in. Liam's hand was about to fall onto Anna's thigh and the total joker I am, I stormed in ruining the moment.

"HERE ARE YOUR DRINKS" I shouted making Liam pull back and blush as Anna looked down, a smile on her face. "Um thanks Emily" Liam smiled awkwardly and so did Anna as I handed her, her glass. "So what did I miss" I smirked, "oh nothing" Anna mumbled, "mhmm" I giggled before grabbing the tv remote and scrolling through the channels. "OOH JEREMY KYLE" Anna and I said in sync and we ended up in fits of laughter. "Well hurry up and put it on" Liam chuckled before I switched the Tv to that channel.

After watching multiple episodes of Jeremy Kyle, from a mother trying to stop her daughters weed addiction to a boyfriend wanted a lie detector test because he was told his girlfriend cheated on him 20 times in the last month. How these people come around is beyond me, but our chat was interrupted by my text tone which was birds chirping. "That's Me" I grinned, pulling out my phone seeing a text from my mum.

Mum - Dad has passed out on the couch, safe to come home x

I read the text and shoved my phone back in my pocket.

"I better get going guys, Liam can I borrow your skateboard" I asked not wanting to disrupt Liam and Anna getting to know each other, "I can drop you off" he offered but I denied it, "nah, I'll let you guys get to know each other, I know where you keep your skateboard" I smiled. "I'll see you both tomorrow, don't have too much fun without me" I winked causing them both to flush Crimson making me giggle before I walked to Liam's front door and picked up his skateboard from the shoe rack before I set off on my journey home.

"Emily" I heard a low voice call from behind me making me put my foot down on the sidewalk a few blocks from my house. I turned around to see a familiar brown haired and green eyed boy walking towards me. The sun glimmered off his eyes making them look like a green meadow in the countryside but I focused on what he was saying.

"Hey" I smiled politely not really expecting him to pay any attention to me after my little fight with Jake. "Hey, yeah I wanted to apologise for -" I shook my head, "don't sweat it, you didn't say anything, they're your friends I wouldn't expect you too, it was Jake anyway" I reassured him giving him half a smile, which he quickly returned before his face fell back to his normal scowl. "Where are you going?" He asked gingerly making me look in the direction of my house. "Home" I shrugged wondering why he was so interested, "is your dad home" he asked a bit concerned and I nodded, "are you going to be okay?" He asked nonchalantly making me frown, "uh yeah my mum said he has passed out so I have time to lock myself in my room before he wakes up" I said quite calmly surprisingly. "Well... I guess I'll see you tomorrow then" he grunted shoving his hands in his Jean pockets before walking home. I stared at his back for a split second before carrying on with my journey home.

I jumped off the skateboard at my front door before pulling out my keys and unlocking it as quietly as possible. I opened the door to see my mum stood in absolute terror, her hand clutching her reddened cheek making me concerned. "Ah Emily, nice of you to join us, where have you been you little slut" my dad suddenly spoke from my left clutching a beer in his hand. "I-I was with Anna, my friend" I said, my throat suddenly dry. "I highly doubt that, you were having sex probably for the 5th time I have been gone" I frowned "I have not!" I shouted back, but immediately regretting it as my dad took a large step closer to me, his grey eyes turning a cold, empty colour.

"Back chatting me like your mother, now your gonna be punished the same" his hand was soon brought up and collided with my cheek. My right hand immediately went to clutch it trying to sooth the immediate stinging soon after my dad's hand connected with the once clear skin of my cheek. "But because your mum doesn't sleep around and you do, you get more" he smashed the beer bottle against the door before pushing it against my shoulder leaving me whimpering in pain as my mother watching helplessly, her eyes showed pain just like mine. I let out another loud whimper as he pushed the sharp bottle into my shoulder even more before pulling it away and punching my stomach and ribs making me wince. "Now both of you fuck off" he growled before storming back into the lounge.

My mother immediately rushed over putting pressure on my shoulder which I just realised was soaked with warm blood. "Come on Em" she hurriedly whispered helping me up the stairs. She grabbed the first aid kit before walking into my room and locking the doors. Tears fell silently down my cheeks as she tended to the cuts on my shoulder. "I am so sorry..." She whispered a tear slipped her eye; which I wiped away before rubbing her red cheek where my dad's hand mark was still covering. "He has never hit you before" I mumbled before wincing as she put ointment on my shoulder. " I tried to defend you" she sighed and my lips curved up into a weak smile thanking my mother silently for standing up for me. "I wish he didn't hit you though" I muttered sadly making her face soften, "you have had it much worse love, I promise I will sort this out" she promised. "Please don't endanger yourself mum" I pleaded and she nodded before standing back up straight. "Do you want to go in school tomorrow" she asked quietly, "yeah, I'll just wear a baggy jumper and leggings" she kissed my forehead before walking out my room. "Lock the door" she mumbled and I nodded as she walked out. I quickly rushed over locking the door before sighing in relief as I was walked back over to my bed.

I winced as I lay on my shoulder, so I quickly rolled onto my other side gently being careful of the new tender bruises marked on my torso. I sighed suddenly becoming tired. Another day without dinner... But before I could argue with my growling stomach my eyes closed heavily sending me into a deep slumber.
