As I washed myself in the shower, I ran my fingers down the scars and bruises my mother had given me that never went away. "One, two, three, four..". The words got quieter as they came out of me the higher the numbers went. "Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen..". I couldn't do it anymore. I stepped out of the shower, wrapped a towel over my head and body and grabbed my pajamas. Glen's bedroom was the opposite room from the bathroom and the bathroom is right in front of the living room, so it's a risky trip. I quickly walked to the door of Glen's bedroom. Locked. "Shit!", I whispered. I didn't want them to see my legs. Bruised and terribly scarred. I knocked on the locked door. "If it's Dan, feck off", Glen said. "It's Lu". The door opened. He was the type of guy who didn't care if you were naked underneath a towel, but he did look. "Can you sit down for a second?", Glen asked. "Hold on, let me clothe myself". I emerged from the walk in closet and sat next to Glen on the bed. "There's something I need to ask you", he said in a serious tone.
