Unknown POV
Knocking on the door of the headmasters door, when they opened it, I was met with a shocked expression. "What are you doing here?" Rachel's feisty tone spitted out. "Hello Rachel, I'm here to see my daughter." Her eyes fuelled with fire, I heard her scream "Not a chance. Get out!" Leaving her office, all I could say to myself was 'knowing the school has its advantages'.
Faith's POV
There's been a weird sensation filling me all day. It's as if I'm being watched, or followed, and I just can't seem to shake it off. Sat in maths with Eddie, he came over when he noticed that I wasn't my usual self. "Is everything okay?" He asked worriedly. "Yeah, I tell you, I've been having this strange feeling all day, as if I'm being watched." Eddie looked confused, before there was a knock at the door. Seeing the figure walk in scared me. "I'm here to see Faith Mason?" Instantly, I screamed "fuck off!" Eddie looked at me in horror, he obviously doesn't know who he is. "Now, now, that's not a way to talk to your dad is it?" The class gasped. Eddie even looked in shock. "Class, go and join Mr Clarkson's will you please, and answer questions 1-10." Eddie calmly stated. The class left in silence, leaving just myself, Eddie and this man called 'Dad'. "Stuart, I thought I made it very clear to you to stay away." The man smiled "Ahh, yes, Eddie, you did, but that was to stay away from Rachel, I'm legally entitled to see my daughter." "I don't want to fucking see you!" I spat. As the man came over, I shrank back in fear. His hand came to my face. "Come On Faith, you love me really." "You better back off Hordley, she doesn't want to see you." Eddie was seeing red by this point. When his hand left my face, and he turned round, I ran to where Eddie was sat, entering his protective embrace. I felt him calm a little against me, but not by much. The man looked furious. "What is this? Some serenade?" I smiled. "No, this is what a real Dad acts like. You're not my real dad, never have been, never will be. Eddie has been more of a dad to me than you ever fucking will be, you're just a lowlife arsehole that enjoys nothing more than destroying people's lives, well, I can tell you one thing, I'm not letting you destroy mine!" With that, I felt a hard swipe come to my face, but I didn't let tears even well up in my eyes. "Who the fuck do you think you are!" Eddie had let go of me by this point, and was inches away from my 'dad's face. "Eddie, please, he's not worth it!" I cried. Running between them, I lost control. I began furiously hitting this man, not giving him chance to defend himself. Once he was on the floor, bleeding in more than one place, only then did I start to regain control. I felt Eddie's hands around my torso, screaming 'stop.' Taking a few moments to breath, I watched the man walk out, hearing him say "if that's really what you think of me, then don't you ever, ever, come running to me for anything. Do you understand? Not money, not attention, nothing. I'm ashamed to call you my daughter, you piece of scum! Don't think you are done with me!" With that, he left. I felt two arms turn me round and pull me in tightly. It was only then I let the tears flow. "I'm sorry Dad, I just lost control. I hate him so much. Please don't leave me Eddie, you're the best dad a girl could have, and I love you." That was the first time I'd ever openly said that, and I could feel Eddie's body smile. I heard mum run in. "Is everything alright?" Eddie calmly remarked "we've just had a run-in with Hordley, but don't worry, Faith made sure he won't be coming back." Mums arm reached my shoulder. "Faith darling, I've put a restraining order against him okay? He won't be coming back anytime soon."
