Dab. Blend. Dab. Blend.
The bruises from Aiden's hits were marked all over my face. This has been going on since the day Kiara, my best friend, committed suicide. That night still played in my mind everyday like a nightmare and each time I kept it all to myself, because some secrets were best never revealed. With her death, came a whole new set of problems. Issues that were far more troublesome.
Aiden grew hostile and pushed everyone away, me included. I tried my best to put my grief aside and help him, but to no avail. Slowly he opened up again, but he was different. His voice was cold and devoid of any emotions since his sister's death. I would try every day to get him to talk, but he pushed me further away. All his pent up anger was released the day he first hit me. I still remembered it, clear as day. He was on the Rugby team and they had lost their first game. I thought maybe I could cheer him up and I hugged him tight when he came home. However, he had something else in mind.
"You were her best friend. You are the reason she died. You're worthless. If you were there for her, maybe she would've still been alive". Those were his words before he punched me hard in the stomach for the first time. His words shattered my soul and caused a deep gash within my broken heart. I protested at first and screamed trying to find the Aiden I had known but his eyes were devoid of any emotions. Tears streamed down my face as I accepted his beating. Maybe he was right. I did deserve all this. I learnt to accept that I had not been the best friend that Kiara deserved. If I had been, maybe she would've still been here.
"You have to be strong today". I though to myself as I finished applying makeup to hide the wounds. On the outside, everyone assumed we were a happy couple. Little did they know the whole story. He always showed me off as his trophy girlfriend but when I needed him he was away, not bothering to even give me an explanation as to where he was. The distance between us could cover oceans, and I couldn't find a way to swim through the currents.
I put on a long white-sleeved top and some jeans and I was ready to go. I ran down the stairs and realized we had to go. There was no time for breakfast. Aiden was waiting outside and I didn't want to anger him again by being late. That was the last thing I wanted today.
We had been living together a few months after we had started dating a year and a half back. His parents were almost never home. Before that I lived in my aunt's house since my parents death. They had died when I was nine, leaving me with Aunt Mary. She was more than happy to get rid of me when Aiden and I decided to move in together. Kiara was over the moon when we started dating. Everything was smooth sailing until it all crashed down. Things had really changed over the last year and a half. The memories I had were long gone.
