12 | him again

|sadie pov|

i trudged through the school doors cautiously, nervous as to wether marc and his group were going to confront me.
i was even more nervous now due to the fact finn has joined the group, who knows what he could have told them. after all, i told finn everything.
" hey! wait up! " i hear someone call but ignore it as it clearly wasn't someone calling for me,their friend is probably infront of me or something.
" wait! " the same voice repeats.
intrigued, i turn around and see the girl i had caught max walking around with the other day.
" sadie right? " she smiles, slinging her bag back over her shoulder.
" uh, yeah " i reply, uneasily.
" i'm new to this school, well technically, " she begins and i prepare myself for a long story, " i used to come here before my family moved and i doubt any of my friends will remember me because i've changed a lot, so i guess it's just nice to see a familiar face "
" what about max? "
" i like max, just not his friends. they constantly reek of smoke "
i chuckle at her statement and nod in agreement.
" maybe we could be friends? " she suggests and my eyes widen.
this girl seems really nice, i don't want to drag her reputation down to the ground.
" are you sure i'm the person you want to be friends with? i mean there's plenty of people in this school and you know, i don't have many friends, any infact " i ramble, talia eventually stopping me.
" i'm happy to be your first " she smiles, a slight spark of excitement forming in my stomach.
we turn into our classroom and talia takes a seat next to me.

it was now half way through first period and everyone's attention was grasped by a sudden knock at the door.
" sorry to disturb miss, can i see sadie stevens please? " the head teacher states as he walks into our classroom.
a wave of fear rushes over me as i raise from my seat.
i can feel the eyes from my classmates watching me as i walk down the rows and to the front.
i follow him out of the classroom and into his office.
fear fills my eyes as i look up and see the person i hate most in this world.
my dad.
his eyes light up as he sees me, however i know it's an act.
he doesn't care and never will care about me.
" oh sadie i've been worried sick " he exclaims, embracing me into a huge bear hug.
i could smell the strong stench of liquor that lingered on his clothes and in his breath.
" where have you been, why didn't you call or atleast tell me you were leaving! "
i clench my fists at his lies, my face showing multiple emotions, fear and shock probably being most noticeable.
" your father called and said you'd been missing, i told him you were here and he could pick you up early " the head informs me as i look dead into his eyes, trying to ask him for help.
he doesn't notice.
i plaster a fake smile onto my face and leave with my father.
as soon as we reach his car he shoves me up against the side of it.
" how dare you leave! " he yells, pushing me harder and harder against the car, by my collar, with each word.
" y-you k-kick-ed me o-out " i stutter.
he gives me one last shove before placing his hand onto his head.
" i said you could go on a walk "
" you said you didn't want me there " i argue through tightly gritted teeth, getting angry that he is now twisting the entire story completely.
" i don't! " he yells, throwing his arms up in the air.
" so why did you come for me?! " i shout back, standing my ground for once.
" because i'm your father "
without thinking, i say the first thing to come to mind, anger completely dominating my tone.
" you don't act like one! "
i don't see it happen, i just feel it.
his steady hand making forceful contact with my left cheek, sending pain throughout my entire face.
he grits his teeth, " don't you ever disrespect me " he sternly says, prodding me with his finger as each word escapes his liquor coated lips.
he storms away and gets into his car, slamming the door behind him.
i do the same, placing myself in the back.
i guess i'm back to square one.
