normal family

Chapter 10 (Bella)

Late Sunday night I go into Micheal's room.
"Can I look at your bruises?" I ask.
"Yeah." he says.
I can tell that their bad, and I know that we need to cover them up, so no one asks questions.
"We need to cover them up." I say
"I can tell everyone that I fell if it makes things easier." He says with worry in his voice.
"Trust me, you won't be able to explain this time."
I look at him for a moment and we both sit there silent.
"I can steal some of mom's makeup, and cover it up. Hannah's mom taught me and her how to do makeup the right way." I say.
He's looks up at me.
"I can't ask you to do that. What if you get caught?" He says.
"Hey! Your still my brother. Don't forget it. Now you stay here and I'm gonna sneak in mom and dads room." I say. Before he gets the chance to reply I walk out of his room and tiptoe down the stairs. I see my mom and dad watching TV and drinking some beer so I assume it's safe to go in there room. I slowly walk into there room and I start searching for the makeup. I realize how messy their room is. I look in the mirror hanging on there wall and see a person that  I didn't see before. I see someone who has a chance at life. But then I hear footsteps and hide in the closet. My mom comes in and grabs her phone. She picks it up and puts it to her ear. "I can't come tonight. I am with my husband." She says.
Who is she talking to? Is she cheating on my dad? Then again, he does deserve it. The cellphone beeps as she hangs up and walks out. I open the closet, and tiptoe around. I open the dresser and find all of mom's makeup. I pickup a few of her makeup bags, and make sure to close the dresser. I open the door quietly, and make my way back upstairs, being unnoticed.
I knock on Micheal's door, and he helps me carry the makeup onto his desk.
"Was everything okay down there?" He asks.
I unzip the makeup bag and say, "not really. Mom's acting really suspicious."
"What do you mean?" He asks, looking concerned.
"She came into the room while I was looking for makeup. I hid in the closet and she was on the phone with some guy."
"What guy?"
"Do you really think I know who he is?" I exclaimed, sarcastically.
"Okay, yeah. You have a point." He said
We both chuckle a little, and then look back at the makeup on the desk.
"Do you remember what Hannah's mom taught you?" He wondered.
"I think." I exclaim.
I do his makeup and cover up all the marks.
"I'm gonna go put this back." I state.
"Okay." he says
I tiptoe back downstairs and go into my parents' room. I put the makeup back and I hurry back upstairs. I then go to my room and fall asleep the second my head hits the pillow.
