I tried to cover up the bruises on my face with makeup the best that I could; I almost looked normal. Long sleeved shirt and sweatpants were the items of clothing that would cover up bruises on my arms and legs. That's when I noticed that my lip was slightly cut and I had no clue how to cover that up. My hair was a total mess; the flower I had in my hair yesterda was now missing. I began to brush through my hair. With every stroke of thhe brush I whimpered. Then a thought crossed my mind: what happened to my brothers? I ran out of my room, ignoring the pain shooting up my legs and into my brothers' room. They looked fine to me, but when I took a closer look at Trevor, I noticed he had grab marks on his wrists. That's when I remembered what had happened. Trevor tried to stop our mom and dad from hurting me. Then I saw Trevor open his eyes.
"Katie? Are you okay?" he asked as he sat up in his bed.
"No Trev, I'm not."
"You should have let Harry come in, Katie," Matty said; he was on the top bunk of Trevor's bed.
"I know I should have. I just didn't want him to see what they do to me."
"But I think he loves you," Bradley said. He was on the top bunk of Devin's bed.
"That can't be true, Bradley. He hardly knows me."
"He knows you enough to know that you are worth being loved and cared for." Was my twelve year old brother really telling me that Harry loved me?
"Don't you love him?" Matty asked. Well of course I loved him, but I wasn't sure if it was the way my brothers thought.
"Yeah, I guess I do." Then the doorbell ring; Lily.
"I've got to go now. Please be good at school." Then I was out of the house. I tried to act normal as I got into Lily's car.
"Well, well, well. You're actually on time today," Lily said.
"Just drive please," I said.
"You know I was just kidding about the thing with Harry yesterday, Kat. Get over it already."
"Don't talk, Lil. Just drive please."
"What's with you today?" I didn't answer her. My gaze went to the buildings that we passed to get to school.
