The preview of the fundraiser is officially over, now I just have to wait for the actual fundraiser to arrive which should be in a little over two weeks. And now my time at Jed's place is also officially over too. The weekend went by in a flash. When I went home with Jed, I felt fine. That is until the next morning. I felt sore in all the wrong places. My head was hurting and the bruises finally took their performance on my skin. Jed gave me some painkillers and that helped a bit.

I didn't want to come home to May's house with bruises and cuts all over my body. So I decided to stay another night at Jed's place. May wasn't too suspicious about it. Thank goodness. But now I have to return home or else May will definitely suspect something is going on.

Heath parks the car in front of my house. I turn to face him. "How do I look?" I ask him. I know I still have a few bruises but that's way better than the first day of the pain coming in.

"Baby, you look beautiful as always," He says causing a blush to form onto my cheeks and a smile to form onto my lips.

"Yeah you do, but I'm trying to eat my yogurt here so if you could just look away......" Kade says turning away to face the window. I gasp and slap his head. "Ow!" He yells holding his head.

"Okay, I'm going. Thank you, bye guys," I say as I hop out of the car with my duffel bag in hand. I start my walk to the front door and pull it open. I hear May's footsteps getting louder as she enters the living room.

"You're home. Hi, are you hungry?" She asks.

"Yeah but I'm gonna rest for a bit," I say not looking at her. 

I hear her chuckle a bit. "What are you doing silly girl? Why are you just staring at the door like that?" She asks as I hear her voice get louder. Oh no, she's right behind me.

"Umm, I'm just looking at the wood. It's really dirty maybe you should go to the bathroom and get something to clean it with. And while you do that, I'll be upstairs," I say quickly.

"Prim, turn around. Why are you being so weird?" 

A sigh leaves my lips as I slowly turn my face to meet hers. Her playful smile turns into one horrifying face, like the one you would see in horror movies. "Oh my goodness, what happened?" She asks softly.

"May, I'm fine," I say calmly. She reaches her hand to my cheek and I wince softly.

"You're fine? Primrose Hendricks, why are there cuts and bruises on your delicate face?" She asks her voice getting louder. I hear another set of footsteps enter the living room. We both turn our faces to see Clyde with the same expression as May and rush over to me.

"Oh my, Prim what happened?" He asks. Here we go again.

"Look I'm fine okay? I promise it barely even hurts," I say turning to leave. May grips my arm and pulls me back gently as not to hurt me.
