Ophelia Murphy had always had an easy life. She'd only ever seen scary things like kidnappings, murders, and disasters on movies and TV shows. She'd never had to experience it firsthand, considering her father did his best to prot...

Lia watched as the water dripped from the ends of her long hair to the floor of the tub, eventually sinking down the drain. She'd been like this for a while, sitting in the shower with hot water running down her body. She was in immense pain, all because of the fact she'd been shoved into the counter twice.
Although the first time it happened it was technically her fault, it wouldn't have happened if Isaiah had just let go of her when she wanted him to. Then it didn't help he shoved her even harder, causing her to hit the same spot. She knew immediately it would bruise, but due to fear of how ugly it looked, she just avoided it altogether.
She avoided wearing anything showing the bottom of her back, as she didn't want anyone to see the welt. She'd almost made it obvious multiple times, but even Ethan hadn't realized how much pain she was in.
It had been half a week since the incident, and she'd stayed inside the dorm most of the time. Of course, she still saw her usual group of friends but only saw Ethan if he came to her dorm to see her.
They still texted constantly, and Ethan obviously knew that something was up with Lia, he just didn't know what. He wanted to respect her and her privacy, so if she ever wanted to be alone or just didn't want to see anyone then he left it alone. The last thing he wanted is to come across as clingy or annoying, even if that's truly what he was. Clingy to Lia.
The shower water turned ice cold, indicating it was time for Lia to get out of the shower. She also didn't want to take too much longer considering this was also Anika and Mindy's restroom. She reached up, turning the handle until the water came to a halt. She grabbed the brown towel off of the rack before beginning to dry herself, taking her time especially when it came to drying her back.
Wrapping the towel around her body, she used a different one to wrap her hair up and get it out of her face. She glanced in the mirror, seeing light circles under her eyes. She hadn't slept much, finding it hard to get a good sleeping position. She's used to sleeping on her side, but unfortunately, the counter hit the edges of her sides. It was bearable pain, but not enough for her to sleep soundly. She'd been having to find sleep on her stomach, which was just straight uncomfortable for her.
She kneeled awkwardly to grab her belongings, beginning to feel the pain now that the water was no longer running on her back. When she opened the bathroom door, she was greeted with cold air causing her skin to bump up with gooseflesh. Shivering, she began to make her way to her bedroom but stopped in her spot as she noticed Ozzie sitting on the couch.
"Where's Amanda?" She immediately asked, noticing he was in there alone.
"She let me in before she left." He avoided looking at her once he noticed what she'd been wearing. "I just wanted to come and check in on you."
