Dear Viewers,

A week later, just like I promised! I hope you like the first chapter of this story!

Now, read!

Because you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie

You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Bad Day-Daniel Powter


Chapter 1

Sophie's POV

It was another day of Hell.

Sure enough, Paul Walker made it a whole lot worse than it already was with his constant torture.

But it was nothing compared to what my 'Father' did to me. No, Paul's torture was a touch to the arm compared to my Father's beatings and rape.

Let's go back to the beginning so you understand.

My mother left my Dad, me and my now 10-year-old brother, Skyler, just a few months after he was born, I was 7. My mother didn't leave like how you probably think she did. What I mean by left, I mean left this world. Suicide. She left because she couldn't take what my father was doing to me now.

When she left, that was when the abuse started. When I was 12, the rape started.

And I took it all and the extra beatings from my Dad, just so I can protect Sky from getting hurt. But that doesn't mean I don't scream and cry when it happens.

So here I am now, walking to school after dropping Sky off at the elementary school.

I had a hard time carrying my book bag because of the bruise on my shoulder. Thank God I don't have to do gym. I never wear t-shirts or shorts.

When I got to my locker, I set my books down and opened my locker. I stuffed the books I didn't need into it and took the ones I did out. I closed my locker and guess who was walking down the hallway. Paul Walker.

He came straight up to me. "Hey Sophie." He said with his signature smirk.

He knocked my books out of my hand and slammed me against my locker, right against my bruise; I did my best not to show any pain on my face.

He shoved me again and I slid down onto the floor as he walked away saying "See ya later Sophie."

I checked my shoulder and saw the handprint bruise my Dad, whom I called Donovan, gave me.

"He had to throw me against that shoulder." I said.

I stood up. Kim came up to me.

"Hey Soph, how are you today?" She asked me.

"I'm good Kim." I said and we started walking off to class.

Kim is my best friend; in fact, she's pretty much my only friend besides my cousins Embry Call and Sam Uley. (My last name is Uley too, but, I don't use it nor tell anybody it). I confide in Kim a lot, but, she doesn't know about Donovan.

Nobody does in fact, except for Sky.

"That's-wait a minute. Did Paul give you any trouble today?" Unfortunately she knew about Paul.

I sighed. "It wasn't that bad, he just threw me against my locker, that's all."

"Seriously Soph, one day you've got to say 'enough is enough', you can't let him do that to you and ruin your life."

'He's not the one who ruins my life.' Is what I wanted to say to her, instead, I said "When I grow taller, and stronger, then I'll tell him off."

"You're 5′6″and pretty strong; I think you could take him." Kim said laughing.

"Yeah, maybe." I said laughing with her, even though it hurt to laugh.

We quieted down once we reached class and sat down.

"Hey, do you want to come over to my house after school today?"

"Uh, sure Kim, I'll just drop Sky at Embry's after school."

"Okay."

Paul's POV

I was walking down the deserted hall and there I spotted Sophie at her locker.

The only reason I do this is because I don't give up grudges too well. She was the first girl in middle school grade 7 who turned me down. I don't know why, but I had been mad and held a grudge against her ever since.

I walk up to her. "Hey Sophie." I knock her books out of her hands and she gives me that look she always does.

I slammed her against her locker. I did it again and she slid down to the ground. "See ya later Sophie." I never take it too far because I'm not that mean.

As she put her head down I turned and watched her. She pulled the side of her shirt down and I saw the big, purple bruise that looked like a handprint on her shoulder. I stared.

"He had to throw me against that shoulder." She said.

I stumbled out of the hallway wondering who could have done that because I know I could never have possibly made a bruise like that. Or maybe I could but I certainly would never do it to Sophie.

I walked to class and sat down beside my best friend Jared Thail.

"Hey Paul-what's got you so freaked?" He asked.

"Something I saw."

"Which was...?"

I punched his shoulder lightly. "Nothing you need to know about."

"What? Was some girl you did just too much for you to see?" He chuckled.

"Hey, I can handle any girl, anytime." Unless it's Sophie. "Unlike you who stopped doing girls once you saw Kimberly Connweller for the first time." I teased.

"Hey, I like Kim, a lot, and I want her to like me back, that's why I stopped. You wouldn't understand." Jared said rolling his eyes.

"Yeah, I know I wouldn't."

Kim and Sophie came into the class slightly calming down after laughing about something. I couldn't help but stare at Sophie's left shoulder as Jared stared at Kim.

"So are you still harassing Sophia Fields or have finally found the sense to stop?" Jared said.

My laugh was a little shaky. "In your dreams, Sophie's an easy target, that's why I do it."

"Whatever."

I didn't know why Jared always tried to get me to stop harassing Sophie, it's like he cared for her or something, but I knew he enjoyed watching me mock her, tease her, push her around and knock her books everywhere.

I guess I will never know why.

All I know is I never wanted anybody to find out I had liked Sophie before.
