I Said I Wouldn't Fall But...

She Promised

~20 minutes after my break down~

I slowly get up from Shawn's lap to go to the bathroom so I can rinse my face.

"Where you going?" He asked me with a worried expression.

"Bathroom" I said dully.

"Okay" He said letting out a sigh of relief. I think?

I went to the bathroom and locked the door. I went to the sink and turned the water on. I put my hand under the water to see if it was cold or not. I winced as my hand touched the hot water. I turned the water off and turned the other nob. I rinsed my face with the cold water. I turned around and grabbed the towel off of the towel rack and dried my face. I sat on the toilet and winced at the pain in my knees caused by my skinny jeans rubbing against the cuts. I stood up slowly and walked out the door. I went back to the living room.

I walked up to Shawn and tapped his shoulder.

"Yeah?" He asked.

I grabbed my phone and typed in 'I need some shorts or something'.

"Okay." He said getting up and walking over to Nash.

Nash left the living room and came back with with some small workout shorts.

"Thanks" Shawn said as Nash gave him the shorts.

He walked over to me and handed me the shorts. I gave him a nod to thank him and he gave me a 'Your welcome'.

I went back to the bathroom and locked the door. I unbuttoned and unzipped my pants. I began to slowly pull my pants down being careful not to touch my cuts. I folded my pants and put the shorts on and looked at myself in the mirror. The shorts just about cover my ass.

Wow, he could't have found any longer shorts? These are basically booty shorts that are used to workout or something.

I walked out of the bathroom, heading for the kitchen to get some water for my dry throat.

I opened up the cupboard and took out a glass cup. I was startled by a loud bang come from the door causing me to drop the cup. Hearing the glass cup break on the floor made me have a terrible flashback.

~Flashback~

I walked into Nolan's house.

"Why are you late?" He asked me with an angered voice.

"I walked Riley home" I quietly answered him.

"I told you to stop hanging out with her!" He yelled at me.

"My mom told me to walk her" I muttered.

"I don't care what you mom told you to do!" He yelled causing me to flinch.

He had a beer in his hand.

'His parents aren't home. They travel for work.' I thought getting scared.

He kept yelling at me until he got mad enough to throw the beer bottle at me. I quickly covered my face with my arms but it didn't hit me. It hit the wall and broke.

"Next time it's gonna hit you!" He threatened me.

~Flashback Over~

I closed my eyes trying to get that stupid memory out of my head.

I felt a pair of familiar arms wrap around my waist tightly, pulling me close. I knew who was hugging me. I could tell it was her by the smell of her perfume, 'Sweet Pea'. I opened my eyes and saw her strawberry blonde hair on my shoulder. I waited for her to stop hugging me.
