"Welcome back to school" the principal announces over the speaker as I sit in my chair cradling my cuts and bruises, no one pays much attention to me anymore.
Seeing as I don't speak much, well never, even the teachers stay clear of me.
Getting lost in my thoughts for a second before I hear the door open and look up to see him again at the door.
He talks to the teacher before turning to the class and giving us all a cute wave. Before walking over to a chair next to me making me flinch a little from the close proximity even though his like a metre away.
"Hey I'm Thomas" he greets, smirking at me as I turn away to face the teacher, it's not Marucs who cares. But out the corner of my eye I see him drop his hand and turn to the person on the other side, who happily talks to him.
As the bell goes I quickly pick up all my books as I drop my note book and I'm about to pick it up but someone else does.
"Here" Thomas says handing me my note book before I grab it and stuff it into my bag.
"Your welcome" he mumbles making me clench my fists, 'you didn't have to get it if you didn't want to' I thought but just gave him a nod as I headed towards the door but he catches my wrist making me flinch away from contact as I try to tug my arm away, so my scars don't show
"You don't talk much...umm this might be a weird thing to say but umm if you ahh need anything or just wanna sit...and not speak I'm here, just don't do anything stupid" he says as he studies my face and rubs my wrist in a soothing motion making me struggle harder as he lets go and I scurry away
What the hell was his issue?
Just don't do anything stupid, what does that mean?
Shaking it off I quickly head towards the library but I feel someone running behind me and I look up to see him next to me as I he smiles at me sheepishly
"You umm forgot this" he says handing me a paper crane I made as I was listening to the teacher, I didn't even realise I was doing it until now. It's a horrible habit I do when I'm anxious
Nodding as a thanks I close he hand telling him to keep it as we walk passed Marcus's best mate, Tyler making my heart beat fast as we both look away from each other
"You Okay?" Thomas asks as he touches my shoulder but I flinch knowing I have a horrible bruise from last night
"Shit sorry" he mumbles as he retracts his hand and rubs his neck giving me a chance to quickly leave him

Arriving home to the sound of eerie silence I creep upstairs and like everyday I look over to where my dad is before I sneak into my room but the booming of my fathers voice stops me.
"Maria get down here" he screech
"Yes I'm coming" I run down the stairs
"Buy some fucking food and don't speak back to me"he exclaims slapping me across the face making me whimper. The alcohol wafting off him making me wrinkle my nose.
"B-but I was just answering you" I stutter not thinking before I spoke
"WHAT DID I JUST SAY?" He roars making me slowly scatter away as I'm still on the floor but he just pulls me up my hair making me yell out in pain
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" I repeat as I close my eyes and wait for the blow to come as a punch is flung my way and straight into my stomach making me groan in pain. I'm dropped to the ground and he starts kicking me continiously
"How" he kicks me
"Many" another kick
"Times" another kick
"Will" kick
"You" grabs my neck and starts to strangle me as I claw at his hands helplessly
"Disobey" he yells banging my head onto the floor
"Me" he spits throwing me into the ground as I have a coughing fit
"I might have to punish you and you know what happens when your punished" he asks raising his eyebrows making my eyes go wide
"Just one call Hun and I'm a billionaire so you better listen" he smirks
I nod and quickly get up, even though I know for a fact the people he called are dead he alwasy can ask some disgusting diseased man at a pub.
"M-may I have some money for the groceries" I ask quietly as I try and suppress the night Marcus went to hospital, my dad was relentless that night calling me a slut and a whore and everything and then he did the worst possible thing. I mean I wasn't a virgin seeing as I gave it to Marcus but he called his friends and they paid to fuck me, all of them forcing me to do things I only let Marcus do and dad just walked away waving the money and drinking his life away.
"Here" he grumbles chucking it in my face
Quickly going upstairs I cover myself up, looking over my tan skin which is bruised and battered and making sure my any dark/light brown hair covers the slap he just gave me. My dull brown eyes staring at me daring me to just kills myself and leave this horrible cruel world but I can't, some how I just can't.
Sighing, I step outside and run down the street to the main road until I reach the food store
I step inside welcoming the warm air before I freeze as someone says
"Fancy seeing you here" making me turn around
