Beyond The Eyes

Deadly Past

I covered the faded bruises that were imprinted on my wrists with my sleeve. The soft fabric of my sweatshirt brushed against my skin. I felt warmth and alive. My feet were stuck in the sand.

The sweet sea breeze made me feel chilly, so I pushed my shelves back down. I wondered if he noticed the scars on my skin. From the corner of my eye, I saw him move, facing me.

"I want to tell you about me, but it's really hard to say. I might start crying, but please listen. And please don't pity on me. That's the last thing I want. Promise?" I made clear.
