First, I have arts. I finish that class easily, then I have a class with my friends. Our maths teacher starts with writing down the absent pupils. Then, he goes by everyone to check if they have done their homework. Shit,.. I haven't finished it. When the teacher finally reaches my table, I'm slowly driving myself insane with all my panic thoughts. "Sir, I wasn't able to finish the homework because I didn't understand it." He gives me a non-believing look. "Save the excuses. You were just to lazy." He says with a sigh. Tears form in my eyes. That's not true! "What DID you do?" I shamefully say I only finished one exercise. "I'm gonna have to call your parents. I do not appreciate this behaviour." I want to argue but he just walks away. I slough down in my chair. Allie gives me a sad look. I look down the rest of the class. "Alexa? You need to stay after class ends." The teacher says. I sigh and nod. The boys are gonna be pissed. I dread the moment the bell rings. When it does, people start leaving, except for me. When everyone is gone, the teacher speaks up. "I called your guardians. They will be here any minute to pick you up, go wait in the lobby." I nod and stand up. I apologize once more and then leave class. I grab my jacket from my locker and wait in the lobby. It doesn't take long for the boys to arrive. An angry looking Liam and Harry walk towards me. "You are in so much trouble Lexi. You didn't do your homework?!" Liam says angrily. My shoes are suddenly very interesting. Harry grabs my hand and pulls me to the car. The whole ride home there is an uncomfortable silence. When we get home we walk inside and Liam brings me upstairs to his room. I look at him confusedly. Why are we in his room? What is he going to do? Liam sits me down on the bed and squats down in front of me. "What were you thinking Lexi, not doing your homework? Were you trying to be cool? Did you want to impress your classmates?" He asks. "No! I- I just didn't understand it, and I got frustrated and stopped." Liam's features soften. "Why didn't you ask any of us for help?" I look down and shrug. "I need an answer baby." He says as he grabs my hand softly. "I didn't want to burden you, and I didn't want to be more of a baby by not being able to finish my homework." Liam shakes his head. "You will never, ever, be a burden to us. And about the other part, it's okay to need help sometimes. Everyone needs help with some things. And that doesn't mean you're a baby, it means you're human." I nod softly and look up at him. Relaxing visibly. "Now, I do have to punish you. Have you ever been spanked before?" I look at him with wide eyes, before shaking my head. "Spanking is me punishing you by hitting you on your butt. It isn't abuse, and it doesn't hurt much, but it's meant to teach you a lesson." Tears form in my eyes. "B-but you said you would never hurt me." I whimper. "I'm not going to hurt you a lot, it's just a punishment. I will only give you ten, and after that you get lots of cuddles. Okay?" I nod slightly. "W-what do I do?" I ask. Liam grabs my hand and pulls me up. He sits down and bends me over his lap. I squirm slightly until I'm laying more comfortable. "I'm gonna give you five over your pants, and five over your underwear." I nod. I'm actually a bit scared, but I know I can trust Liam. "I want you to count every spank for me. Do you understand?" I nod. The first spank shocks me, it doesn't really hurt, but it leaves a good sting. "One." The next two spanks come fast after each other. "Two, t-three." My voice is a bit shaky. Spank! "Four!" Tears start forming in my eyes. The next spank follows and then Liam pulls down my pants. He rubs my sore butt for a bit and then he continues. Tears run freely down my cheeks. When he's done Liam quickly sit me upright on his lap. I start sobbing in his shirt and mumble apologies. "I know, I know. It's okay little one. You're okay. The punishment is over. You did so so well for me. It's okay. You're forgiven Lexi." After a bit more of Liam comforting me, I start to calm down. "Good job! There we go. Do you want your pants back?" I shake my head. Liam nods and stands up. He lifts me up in his arms and walks downstairs with me in his arms. "I'll help you with your homework tonight after dinner. For now, we're gonna have a relaxing afternoon." I nod and just lay my head on Liam's shoulder. When we come downstairs, the boys coo at me. Liam puts me down and I walk over to Zayn. I sit down on his lap. He hands me Olly and my dummy. I quickly put the dummy in my mouth and start sucking on it. I lean back on Zayn while holding Olly close. After a bit of just chatting, Liam decides to start making dinner and Zayn and Niall go to help him so that leaves me, Harry and Louis. I stand up, put my dummy on the table and nervously walk to Harry. I sit down on his lap and keep a tight grip on Olly. "H-Hazzy?" I ask nervously. Harry smiles bright when he hears the nickname. "Yes baby? What is it?" I nervously look down and fiddle with my fingers. ""I-I, there's this boy in school.. A-And he, he pushed me into the lockers around a week ago. And normally the pain fades away after a few days, b-but this time it didn't.. A-And it h-hurts." I say with a shaky voice. Immediately Harry becomes worried. "Where does it hurt baby? Show me." He says. Louis also sits down next to us and takes my hand for support. "It's my ribs." I say softly. "Can you show us where it hurts? Or does it hurt everywhere?" Louis asks. I shake my head. I take a deep breath and slowly put my hand on the right side of my ribs. "Okay, I'm going to lift your shirt so we can take a look, is that all right?" I close my eyes and nod. Harry lifts my shirt and I hear soft gasps. "Oh my god,.. LIAM!!" I hear Louis yell. I open my now watery eyes. "Is it that bad?" They look at me with sympathy. "I'm not going to lie, little one. It's not looking really good." Harry says. Liam soon runs into the room. "What's wrong? What happened? Who's hurt?!!" He asks frantically. Louis gives a brief explanation. Liam squats down in front of me and lifts my shirt up again. "Oh my.. Louis can you go get an ice pack from the freezer?" Louis quickly nods and runs away. "Okay baby, I'm going to pick you up and lie you down on the couch okay?" I nod and Liam gently lifts me up in his arms. Before he can put me down though I start sobbing in his neck. "Oh no, baby, what's wrong?" Liam gently strokes my hair as he rubs circles on my back with the other one. "I-I'm sorry. I just feel weird 'cause I haven't felt this good in a long time. All this time I just never realised how sad I really was. And now it's just overwhelming, because I love you so much but I still have everything bottled up inside of me. Every emotion, every fear, every memory, and it just makes me so sad knowing that I never will be good enough." After that I completely start crying. All of my emotions that I had let inside for so long, I finally let them out. I cry for a good hour, and all that time Liam holds me and slightly sways us back and forth. After I finally calmed down, Liam sits down on the couch with me straddling his lap. "I am so sorry for everything that ever happened to you. I never really knew how much you were actually struggling with your emotions until now I guess. And I want you to know that I love you so so much, and to me and the boys you will always be good enough. You're our perfect little angel, and nothing could ever change that. Do you wanna talk about it? 'Bout what happened? To finally get it off your chest?" And I don't know if it was because of Liam's soothing words, or because of me really wanting to tell someone, but I did. I told him everything. I finally told someone my story. And it felt really good.
