Im Not a Monster

Chapter 1: Rings and bruises

*Margot p.o.v*

I put more pressure on my cheek with Ice that was wrapped with a thin rag. I close the door to my dressing room after my makeup artist lorry walked past me. She kept on asking if i was okay.

"Margot are you sure you dont need more ice or a different towel. It may be melting already."

"No its okay,thank you though. I can handle just a little ache."

She shrugs her shoulders. I hear a soft knock on the door. Lorry glares at me.

"Did you invite anyone?" She wondered

I shake my head. Lorry gets up and opens the door. It was jared. Lorry stares at him and bites her lip. She looks at me and mouths his name.

I nod. Giving her the Ok to let him in. When I saw Him, All his makeup was off. His grills,his jewlery,his outfit. All was gone. Im suprised they did that,that quickly.

He sits down beside me. I stare at him through the mirror.

"Can we have a minute?" Jared asked lorry.

"No problem." She said.

She looks at me and smirks,then shuts the door slowly.

"Hey." Jared said.

I look down and smile.

"Hi." I whispered in a low tone.

"Look the guy- I don't know his name. The guy with the mat told me what happened....that I actually really slapped you. Im so sorry for that. I was just over thinking the character and it was flooding my thoughts."

I cleared my throat. "Its okay. At least we got the real effect and reaction."

"But to me that doesnt matter. What matters is if your alright." He said

"Yeah,im good. Im okay."

"Okay?"

He sighs "Lemme see"

He gently removes the towel.

"Ouch. I mustve cut you with those rings...and theres a bruise forming."

"Yeah" I chuckled

"I am so sorry. Really,I apologize."

He touches it with the tip of his finger. I flinch.

"Ohh okay that burns." I laughed.

"Margot you need something on that."

"No its fine its only a cut."

"and a bruise. On that pretty face of yours."

I laugh it off as he chuckles in the scariest tone.

"Are you joking with me?"

"Hm??"

"Why are you laughing like that?"

"Like what?"

"Your sounding just like the jo- your laugh- never mind."

He smirks.
"Mind that."

"Okay..."

"Laughs change all the time." He said smiling.

"Yeah.."

"But anyway about hitting you. Thats why I came in here."

"Its okay. Im still in one piece. Thats all that matters. Its just a hard slap."

He chuckles.

"There it is..the simple jared laugh." I said nudging his arm.

"Alright wanna go for a scroll around set." He asked

"Id love to."
