Thursday.

06:48 Pm.

I walked alone through the streets, my hands in the pocket of my hoodie as I listened to music through my earphones.

After a while of walking, I arrived at my house. Taking a shaky breath i opened the gate and walked alone the stone pathway towards the front door.

I took out my keys, opening the door before shutting and locking it before me. I looked around a few times, letting out a sigh of relief when I saw my mum wasn't home I pulled down my hood revealing several cuts and bruises that littered my face.

Walking into the kitchen, I noted a note that lay next to a plate of cold chicken.

Hola mijo!

I had to pop out for a bit. I'll be back at around 7, sorry about the cold food, just put it in the microwave and im sure it'll still be just as good!
Can't wait to hear about your day when I get back!

Love, your mama~ <3 <3

- - - - - - - - - -

I chuckled to myself before stuffing the note in my pocket. I picked up the plate of chicken and put it in the microwave, setting it to 1 minute.

It was all okay, I was just relaxing whilst waiting for my chicken to reheat. Until I heard the front door open.

I quickly pulled my hood back up so that they wouldnt see my bruises before facing the wall, just praying whoever it was would pay no attention to me.

Keith walked over to me and James, pushing James to the side before walking up to me. "What'cha doing nerd?"

"N-nothing Keith!" I quickly spat out as I backed away from him

I didn't want trouble..

"Come on Lance! Get up you pussy!" Keith went on as he towered over me, kicking dust at me as he got closer.

"K-keith! Leave Lance alone!" My friend James yelled at Keith from his position by the bench.

I'm the boy in the bubble..

"James!" I cried out as I watched Keith punch him off of the bench and onto the floor before kicking him.

I don't know what happened, but something snapped in me. I just ran over to Keith, punching his face to get him away from James.

But then came trouble..

Then my mum walked into the living room, putting her bag onto the sofa before walking into the kitchen to see if I was okay. "Hola mijo!~"

"Hola ma'." I called back, hearing the beep on the microwave being done I took my chicken out before walking into the living room to eat. "How was your day? Did you have fun at that study group with...James, I think it was,"

"Yeah, it was James. And...Yeah. loads of fun." I said with a slight nervous chuckle as my mum followed me into the living room 'well, shit'.

She took one look at me and i could basically feel her expression change to a worried one. "Lance, mijo. Please, take off your hood." I swallowed mouthful of chicken before doing as she said, yeah I love my mum...but she's scary if I don't do as she says.

"Mijo! Wha-what happened to your face?! Que pasa hijo?!" She exclaimed as she stood up, walking into the kitchen to get a damp cloth and ice.

"N-nothing..mama I'm fine. I-I just fell.." I looked away from her direction, feeling slight guilt about lying to her.

"Lance. No me mentiras. Was it that Keith boy? Did he come and beat you up again?!" She had a mad expression on her face, but at the same time, she looked worried.

"K-keith?!" My face immediately started to get heated at the mention of his name. "Wha- of-course not! Ma'- I..." I stopped talking, there was no point in lying.

"Lance, Mijo. You've gotta tell me what they did to you.." My mum said with a slightly annoyed sigh. She grabbed the damp cloth and started cleaning my bruises and cuts.

I looked at her worried face, swallowing the spit that was building up in my throat before saying "You don't wanna know the things I had to do.."

Her expression then changed into a more serious one as she perilously pressed harder on one of my bruises. "Mijo, you gotta tell me why you're all black and blue."

"I-I told him I didn't want t-trouble.." I stuttered as I started to tear up. 'Why am I crying?! God I'm so pathetic..'

"Keith! Just fuck off! Leave us alone!" I growled at him as I stood in a defensive position infront of James.

He just smirked at me, wiping the blood off of his nose before standing up and walking a few feet infront of me "And what if I don't?"

I don't know why, but I felt slightly intrigued by this. "I-I'll beat you up myself! I'm fed up of you picking on me and James for no reason!" I glared at him as he cracked his knuckles, a smirk on his ho- ugly face.

"I'm the boy in the bubble.."

"Oh really?" was all he said with a smirk before running at me

"And then came trouble.."
