#Shiner
(Fast Forward To Friday)
It's finally Friday! I've never been so excited for a Friday in my life. Just one more day and I'll be rid of school for two days, yes that's how strangely happy I am. The other kids have been really pissing me off. One of them put a screamer in my locker so that every time I open it, it screams as loud as my uncle CC yells when he's drunk.
I get out of bed a take a quick shower. I put on my misfits tank top, my white skinny jeans, my black converse. I decided on no makeup and I put my hair up in a high ponytail. I run downstairs into the kitchen and pour myself a bowl of fruit loops. My dad sits on the couch playing with Crow.
"Dad, where's mom?" I ask. He looks up at me and smiles.
"Your mom got home late again last night, so she's upstairs sleeping. She wants to talk to you when you get home after school." He says.
"I kinda promised Jack and Austin that I'd hang out with them." I say.
"Your mom told me it wouldn't be that long of a talk, you'll have time to hangout with your friends."
"Ok good."
"Should I go start the car?"
"No, Jack wants to walk with me to school this morning." I finish my cereal. "I love daddy." I kiss him on the cheek.
"Love you too babygirl." He hugs me. I grab my bag and run out the door. I wait a few moments before Jack gets to my house.
"Someone's happy to go to school today." Jack says as we walk.
"Well yeah, the weekend begins in six hours." I say.
"We still hanging out tonight?" He asks.
"Yeah and Austin's coming too." I say.
"Does he have to? I kind of just wanted it to be you and me."
"He doesn't have to come, I'll make up an excuse."
"Good, I've been really wanting to be alone with you." Alone with me? Alone?
We continue walking in comfortable silence all the way to school. I don't know, when he said 'alone', it kind of scared me. Is he going to be all serious about something on his mind or is he gonna be his goofy and regular self? And if he's going to be serious, what about? It's things like this that put my anxiety to an all time high instead of keeping it at an all time low.
Soon lunch comes around and I'm hyped, I had a good morning. In art we had free time because we had a substitute teacher and English was great because we got to do some creative writing in our journals. I'm just so happy, it feels like nothing can spoil my attitude. I go to my locker and switch over my books. A hand reaches down and swipes away my journal.
"Hey!" I say turning around.
"What's this we have here? Is this a journal?" Chelsea asks, my biggest enemy.
"Give it back!" I request. She flips through the pages.
"Gimme gimme never gets, don't you know your manners yet?" She mocks me and hides behind her drones.
"Chelsea I'm not playing around, give it back!" I yell and all eyes turn to my situation.
"Just shut up freak, you're not getting it back." One of her drone's, Heather I think it is, says. They block me off from Chelsea so I have no chance in getting my journal back.
"Let's read a little, shall we? Today is just another day, me sitting on my couch as my parents bicker in the kitchen. Why do they bicker? I have no idea. They start little fights on the stupidest things. But as always, I stop their fight by taking my dad's side. I like my dad better than my mom, that's the way it has always been and always will be." I push past her drones and jump her before she can read the rest. I tear the book out of her hands, but she pulls me back by my hair. She was going to read how I truly feel about my dad. I'm stupid for putting it in their but she has no right. I slap her across the face. She lets go of my hair, but punches me in my left eye. Just as I'm about to punch her back...
"Miss Biersack and Miss Lockheart! My office now!" The principal yells. We both follow him into his office. This was not how my day was supposed to go.
"Now would you two girls please tell me why I shouldn't call your parents." He says.
"Because she attacked me out of nowhere. I was just on my way to my locker with some friends, you can ask any of them." Chelsea says, now I really want to punch her.
"Is this true Miss Biersack?" He asks.
"No, she took my journal and wouldn't give it back." I say.
"So you attacked her instead of asking for it back?" He asks.
"I did ask and she wouldn't." I say.
"You still hit her. Miss Lockheart, you're excused. Miss Biersack, I'll be calling your parents, you're suspended for the rest of the day and Monday." He says.
"That's not fair, she punched me!" I say.
"Yes but you hit her first." He says. Chelsea leaves the room with a smirk plastered on her face, and I slump in my seat.
My mom picks me up and we're locked in silence the whole ride home. She's mad. When we get home, I'm gonna get in big shit. I'm just hoping my dad's home, he always sticks up for me. We walk into the house and she slams the door. That's my mom, she always loves making a scene.
"Explain Missy." She says, she's not shouting which makes her scarier.
"Chelsea took my journal and wouldn't give it back. She started reading it aloud and wouldn't shut up-" I'm cut off by my mom.
"It doesn't give you a right Lilian!" She shouts. She rambles on but I stop listening as soon as my dad runs downstairs.
"What's going on?" My dad yells.
"Well your daughter got suspended from school today because she hit a girl." My mom says. I guess I'm only my father's daughter, I have been disowned by my mother. This has surely been an eventful day.
"Why'd you hit her?" He asks me sweetly. I can be disowned by my mom, my dad's my favourite anyways.
"She took my journal and started reading it to the whole hallway. She wouldn't give it back so I tackled her. She then pulled my hair so I slapped but then she punched my eye." I say. My dad leans in to look at my eye.
"That's going to hurt even more in the morning. Go lye down, I'll get you an ice pack." He says making me smile and I walk up to my room. And the shouting continues.
"You're not going to punish her?" My mom yells, wait she disowned me, Juliet yells.
"She was just standing up for herself Jules. Cut the kid some slack. I'm proud of our babygirl." My dad says calmly.
"Andy we're supposed to be teaching her that violence isn't the answer." She says.
"I think she understands now, she does have a black eye."
"You're right, I'm just so stressed with work, I just can't handle this right now."
"We'll get through this together Dragonfly, I love you."
"I love you too White Rabbit."
I hear footsteps and I lye down on my bed. My dad walks in with a sympathetic smile and sits beside me on the bed. He puts the ice pack on my eye and I wince in pain.
"Sorry babygirl," he says and puts the ice pack down. "So you only slapped her?" He sounds unimpressed.
"I was about to punch her, until the principal walked out." I defend my honour.
"Next time let her hit you first, that way you don't get the blame. I'm gonna go calm your mom down."
"Please don't go." He rubs my cheek with his thumb and kisses my forehead.
"I'll be back in five minutes, ten at the most, I promise."
He gets up and walks out of my room. I sit up and go on my phone. I have a few new texts.
Jack: I just heard what happened, do you think you'll be able to hang? I really have to tell you something.
Lily: Even if I'm not allowed, I'll sneak out for you.
The other text is from Austin.
Austin: Are you okay?
Lily: Yeah, just a black eye. I think my mom disowned me, but my dad's on my side.
Austin: Can you still hangout tonight?
Lily: I'm grounded, sorry.
I put my phone down and grab my journal. I flip through the pages, to where I made my confession of my sick little crush on my dad. I rip out the pages and grab my lighter. I get my metal garbage can and burn my extremely long loveletter. No one will ever know, I won't let it happen. I check my Twitter and see all the tweets I'm tagged in.
"@LilyMonster has a black eye!"
"@LilyMonster, how did @AndyBVB 's girl get a shiner?"
"@JulietSimmsALL 's daughter, @LilyMonster got punched?"
With all this fuss, I make a tweet of my own to end it all, hopefully.
"I stood up for myself, maybe violence wasn't the answer, #Shiner, but this is what happens. I've learned words are stronger than fists."
I put my phone away as my dad walks in. His phone goes off and he looks down at the screen. I smile creeps onto his face and he sits down beside.
"I'm proud of you Lily." He says.
"You just saw the tweet, didn't you?" I ask.
"Yes and I'm glad you learned your lesson." He says.
"Well does that mean I'm not grounded?"
"No, you're grounded, for the whole weekend possibly."
"That's not fair."
"I'm sorry babygirl."
"Just go."
He walks out of the room and shuts the door behind him. I get up and grab my backpack. Screw everyone, I'm gonna hangout with my best friend.
