I woke up from a nightmare. No, a memory. I had gone to bed at like 12:30 and woke up at 3:00. I didn't get good sleep at all which is typical. And it was typical that I couldn't fall back asleep.I was feeling extra tired this morning, though. So now, here I am scrolling through Instagram while glancing at the time. We have to leave for school at around 7:00 or something.
Right now, its 5:30 so I decided I would take a long shower to clean up and clear my head. I really needed to kill someone and get into a schedule. And I needed Noah.
Sighing, I got out of bed and headed for the bathroom. I rummaged through my clothes, pulling out my brown hoodie and light wash loose fit ripped jeans. I don't think my scars would be visible through this.
(Without the bag)
I walked back towards my bathroom and turned the water on. I didn't look at myself in the mirror as I stripped and walked in the warm shower. I let the water run down my hair. Down my face, my body. My body where his hands have been. Where Jason's hands have been.
I finished up showering and got out, drying out my hair and body, wrapping the towel around myself. That's when I looked up at myself in the mirror. The marks on my neck were still there. Also the bruise on my cheek from Jason's punch was fading.
I sighed and dropped my towel, looking at my badly bruised ribs. Those would take a while to heal. It pained me to look at them but I made myself stare at the dark colored array of colors over my body until I felt nothing. No emotion, nothing. I shouldn't feel anything. I couldn't. I wouldn't.
I swallowed and quickly got dressed then blow-dried my hair. I left it down in its natural waves, not feeling like putting it up. Then I covered my visible bruises with makeup, took some pain killers and hoped everything would heal.
I had about forty-five minutes left before we had to head out. Sadly, it was the middle of the week which meant not a fresh start to a new week. I didn't care though. I wasn't planning on making any friends anyway.
I did a once over at myself in the mirror before finally grabbing my white AirForce's, phone and school bag that I had gotten at the mall. I walked down the stairs, hearing light chatter from the kitchen as I reached the bottom.
