Why are you here?

Chapter 5

Yep, well here's Chapter 5

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Kim, Where the hell have you been?"

I turned around to see my Mom and Dad sitting on the couch in the living room.

"Oh, hey mother and father."  I replied trying to tone down the nervousness in my voice.  I looked at both of them and i could see my mom roll her eyes at me.

"You didn't answer our question, Kim."  My dad said glaring at me.  He then gestured me to come over and sit on the couch.

 I took slow steps toward the couch trying not to rush anything.  I sat down with my arms crossed, getting ready for whatever they had to say.

"Oh, Honey what happened to your face."  My mom said shocked

" Funny story i actually hit the door hedge this morning."  I said akwardly laughing.

"Are you sure that's what happened, Kim?"  My dad asked eyeing me.

"Positive."  I replied smiling

"But, you still haven't answered our question; where were you last night?"

I decided to answer their question." I was at Carly's house because she needed to finish a project and i forgot to call."

"Don't lie to us because we already called and she said she hasn't seen you since last night."  My mother stated.

Oh crap, how am i supposed to get out of this one.  Carly is such a great friend isn't she. Not.

My dad interrupted my thoughts "So do you want to tell us where you were now."

"Ok, i was at Robert's house because he just broke up with his girlfriend and he really needed a friend."  I said aloud.  That definitely would work cuz I'm a genius.

"Robert is a guy, guys don't need comfort after a break-up."  My dad replied.

Oh, crap.  Think of something now.  "Well as you can see he's getting in touch with his feminine side and discovering new feminine emotions he's been lacking."  I said slightly proud of how my lie came out perfect.

"Why didn't you just tell us that in the first place?"  My mother asked.

"Well, because Roberts a guy and that's what girls usually do."  I replied lie after lie.  I knew that Robert didn't need someone to comfort him after a breakup, he was pretty strong willed.  He would just bang someone the next day and get it over with.

My parents looked at each other and then focused back on me.

"Fine we'll accept that for now, but if we find out that you're lying; there will be punishment."  My dad said with the strictness in his voice.  

I thanked them and ran to my room to text Robert.  I found my phone and told Robert about what I said and he just played along.  I walked over to my full lenth mirror to see what i had looked like.    I looked horrible.  My clothes looked wrinkly and my face had a huge bruise on it.  I took a closer look at the bruise and it looked really bad.  

After checking myself out, I hopped in the shower and spent half an hour showering.  My thoughts soon jogged back to the memory of this morning and last night.  I couldn't believe i slept with a total stranger like that.  I couldn't believe he hit me either.  

It was a slow Sunday, so i just stayed in and watched movies all day.  I finally fell asleep around 10. 

I woke up to my dad yelling at me to wake up and get ready for school.  I had about and hour to get an outfit ready and to get my hair done.  On the way downstairs i started to think about what people would say about my black eye.
