Tough love

Ch 4

Chapter 4

I woke up this morning and found myself in a lot of pain. I remembered the events of last night. It was all because of my dad. I had a huge bruise on my arm the size of a baseball. I had a big red mark on my face. Could life get any worse? Nothing makeup can't fix. Well it can fix my face but not my arm. Oh well if anybody ask I fell down.

I got up and pulled out my favorite blue shorts and my favorite striped blue and grey v neck. I sat down at my vanity and started applying makeup. I put on some foundation but not too much where I look orange. I put on some concealer to cover everything. It really didn't hide the redness like I wanted it too but it will have to work. I just hope that nobody will ask about it.

I go downstairs and head for the door. Thank goodness my dads at work so I don't get anymore marks. I was safe atleast until later.

I reached the school not expecting much to happen today. People were just going to stare at me in disgust like they always do. They won't question my face because they really don't care about me or what I do. The only reason they would probably talk to me is because I was good friends with Austin, and they're jealous.

I walked to my first class of the day which was chemistry. Me and Austin have that class together. We sit in the far back by ourselves. Which I really don't mind I like it just being us two. He makes me feel like an actual individual.

"Hey Aubr- what happened to your arm?" He gasped.

"Oh uh I uh fell." I could tell by the expression on his face that he didn't believe me.

"Oh okay. you look-" he was cut off by the teacher.

"Okay class take your seats and we will begin."

I just smiled at Austin an mouthed to him 'you can tell me later.' He just smiled at me and nodded. That boy could smile at anybody and there whole day would be brightened up. I love when he smiles at me. I feel like there's fireworks going off and there's a new me. I'm starting to open up and trust people again. I really like the feeling. I just don't understand how I got so lucky for someone as great as Austin to come into my life. I know we're just friends right now but I'm hoping that that will change soon.
