Hearing Lyric

Chapter 4

            Running out the door, I heard the faint sound of laughter. My father thought it would be funny to not wake me up again meaning, I was late. Rushing down the street to school, I couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to drive, and how much quicker it would be. I didn’t have time to put on make-up, and my bruised eye was a bright purple color that anyone could see.

           Today was going to be a day where I stay away from everyone, including Sophie.  When I walked into school my hood was over my head, and my hair was covering my face.  This was going to be a very hard day. I had to make sure to avoid Sophie and Trey at all costs.

           Walking with my head down, I hurried through the halls and in between people. It was passing time between second and third hour.

            All of a sudden I bumped into something hard. Uh oh. As I was falling a strong hand gripped my waist.  I looked up to see icy blue eyes.

          “Watch where you’re going, freak.”

           Oh Just my luck to bump into Trey. I stared at the floor and muttered a bunch of “I’m sorries.” Still trying to make sure my hair was covering my face of course.

         He scoffed, "Whatever, just stay out of my way."

         I nodded slightly not wanting to start anything and scurried down the hall.

         I was doing pretty good with avoiding Sophie, until lunch. She found me sitting under a tree outside of school.

        “You know that spiders fall out of this tree. Oh and where the hell have you been? Where were you during biology punk? Huh? Huh? Huh?" She said while crouching to sit next to me.

          I kept my head down and replied. “I was late again, sorry. Missed second hour.”

         “Two times in a row, I swear, one more time and I’m going to disown you. Just kidding but, seriously.”

          I couldn’t help but laugh. “Yes mam.”  I replied jokingly.

          She frowned. “Where were you really today?”

         “I really over slept Soph.” I replied, bring my head up to look her in the eye. Bad choice I thought as her eyes got wide.

         “Okay what the fuck happened to your eye? Who do I need to kill?” She stood up and started to pace. “Who would do that to you? Kate? No she’s a wimp. Trey? No, he hates you but he wouldn’t hit you.” She turned to me. “Who did that?”

        “No one Soph, I ran into a corner of a cupboard door at home. No one hit me.” I lied, even though I really don’t know why I was. She was my best friend she deserved to know but, sometimes it was better to protect people from the truth. I have learned that the hard way. But I was so sick of pretending.

         “No, that’s the excuse everyone uses. Tell me now, so I know what knife to sharpen and who’s blood is going to cover it.”

        “Stop, you’re way to over protective. Let it be.”

        “No.”

        “No?”

        “No. No. No. No. No. No! Hell no. When someone messes with you they mess with me. I don’t like to be messed with. You need to tell me now! You mean too much to me for this you don’t understand. I don’t even care if your god damn dad did this to you, Lyric. Just tell me!” She ended the rant with a tear slipping down her cheek. It’s weird but she doesn’t get emotional unless it has something to do with me. There is a force field around her that only I can knock down.  I can’t lie to her anymore.

       I can't do it anymore, I have to tell her. “That’s it Sophie. It’s my Dad.” I said staring up at her.
