7.00am- "Oy, Daisy up now, you need to make my breakfast before you go to school!" yelled her dad. When Daisy didn't move he kicked her side and stormed out of the room. Her side throbbed as she stood to get dressed.
Back to school today she thought. I guess that means I'll be safe for a little longer in each day. But more importantly I won't be seeing my dad but my friends instead. On that thought she walked out of the room and downstairs in a better frame of mind. As she walked in her father was waiting, "DAISY! Where the fuck have you been make my breakfast then get out of my house!" "No Dad, this time I won't." "What did you say to me?" His face was enraged with anger as he realised, Daisy stood strong and pulled up that mask she had been hiding under her whole life. "I said no."
He swung for her luckily she ducked in time. She ran for the front door, it was locked, as she turned around to run to the back, her dad was already behind her. He punched her face hard enough to knock her unconscious. Her dad kicked her in the back to move her away from the door and left.
When she woke, her face was throbbing and her head pounding. She tried to stand but felt a sharp pain shoot down her back. After 5 minutes or so she remembered she was late for school. Feeling a lot better, she stood, checked herself in the mirror only to discover that the side of her head had bled down her face and she had a black eye. "Now that is going to take some major lying" she thought.
As she arrived to school she went straight to first lesson. Science- Mr Mead. She walked in keeping her head down muttering apologies for being so late. She had completely missed English, but then again, that wasn't a great loss.
"Daisy, can I see you outside a minute" The entire class exchanged glances and chorused "oooo." She dragged her feet out the door.
"Daisy, why are you so late?"
"Overslept I suppose."
"I'm not having that Daisy, what's up with you lately?"
Tears rolled down her pale, bruised face. Unseen tears with ripped her heart to pieces, luckily they were not seen as she kept her head down and stayed quiet.
"Daisy, you know you can tell me anything and i'm-"
She let out a timid sob and erupted into floods of tears.
"Daisy, look at me."
She slowly lifted her head, as she did a look of horror and empathy overpowered Sir's usually comforting smile.
"What happened?"
"I got into a fight with this daft kid off my estate."
"I can tell when you're lying to me Daisy, now what really happened?"
He reassuringly put his hand on her shoulder as he told her he would be there for her, no matter what she was going through.
With that, Daisy ran away, the tears tracing the contours of her tender face.
