White Lies

Chapter 3

Lilith's p o v :

I feel so exhausted. Today was a tiring day. I understand that punishment was necessary cause I was late for my shift but Christopher should have tried to understand atleast a little bit Im a college student so I have alot of work to do.

I'm driving back home right now my head's pounding cause of the long day at college and the cleaning. I park the car, and check the time its 11pm my mum must be sleeping. I rummage through my bag to find the spare house key.

I forgot to grab it this morning. Shit. I have no choice but to ring the bell.

I wait for mum to open the door. I enter as soon as the door's open. I stumble down to the ground when I feel a sharp piercing pain on my left cheek. I fall with a thud. I turn to see my mother standing there

"Why are you home so late, sweetie?" her voice calm,loving even. But I know better to not fall for her stupid senseless fake love. She spoke as if tho she didn't just slap me.

"busy day at work" I utter and get up to head to my room. But I'm yanked back by a forceful tug at my hair. My headache worse than before.

"Dont disobey your mother,darling." she nagged. "I never disobeyed you mother. I answered your question. I'm tired so I'm gonna sleep." I whispered and try to steady myself.

She lets my hair go. My head is pounding so bad everything is a blurr for a few seconds my ears ringing. I barely ate anything today except a sandwich. I struggle to keep myself still. She slaps me again.

"Stop" slap "talking" slap "back" slap "to" slap "me" slap she yells and hits me at the same time.

I'm on the ground again, heaving, struggling to breathe. My head feels like its being hit by a hammer. She walks away coolly as if nothing happened not even sparing a glance at what she has done to her daughter. I get up and go to my room with the little energy left in me. I usually bath and sleep but I'm too tired. I drop myself on the bed and sleep engulfs me.

-----

I feel numb. I'm pretty sure I slept a few hours ago. Its still dark. I look around my room, suddenly feeling scared of the dark. I scramble up and turn on the lights. I look around my room to see if anythings out of place but it looks just fine.

My room is small, there's a long lengthy bed just enough to fit my body, a small closet and an attached bathroom. I sigh and go to the balcony beside my bed.

The fresh,cool air relaxing me. I stand there doing nothing, just stare at nowhere in particular. The balcony is enough for 2 people to stand in.

I'm wide awake, my headache a little better. Its 3 in the morning . I should get a little more sleep. I set and alarm for 6 and try to sleep.

After what feels like an entire day. I sleep.
