In love with a pigs heart

Bruises

I reach out my pocket to call my dad.

"Hello." I answer after the ringing stops

"Hello?" He replies.

"Hey, umm can you come pick me up, I'm at-"

"Where in the living world were you?!" He interrupts me.

"Umm I was at a friends house.. I-I was studying with her." I lie by saying it was a girl that I was studying with. If he finds out I was with Chris, i would  have been toast.

"When I get my hand in you, oh you'll see! Now tell me where the hell you are."

" uhh.." I look around the block and see a green sign that's says '132street- Mainway'

"I'm at 132nd street Mainway." I continue. I hung up the phone before he even replies.

30 mins later.

Finally! A red car parks in the corner of the street. I walk towards it. It took him long enough. I hop in the front seat and he gaves me a dead stare.

"You just wait. You just wait." He nods his head.

We reach home, both of us step out the car. I walk in front of him and pull out my keys and open the door. He fallows behind me except out of nowhere... He grabs my hair and pulled me towards the couch.

"Didn't I tell you not to leave this god damn house without my permission!" He grasps my hair harder and stares into my eyes.

"You little brat!" He smashes a vase on the floor. His hands slip out my hair and I make a run to the upstairs bathroom. I lock the door and sit behind it. A few minutes later I hear loud pounding. "If you don't open this god damn door in 5 seconds, I'll have to get tough on you." I hear him jamming the door open. That's it this is the end.

He opens the door and I let out a loud scream. I go into the bathtub and open the shower spray on him. It didn't stop him from throwing out his anger. He grabs a heavy hairspray bottle and knocks it on my cheek bone. I turn off the shower spray. I sit there crying in the bathtub.

"You're mom never liked you. Don't put your fucking anger on me! It's her fault you're like this. Try that again with me... Pig heart."

He slammed the door behind him. I sat there with my wet clothes crying and sobbing. I got up and opened the cabinet to pull out a bottle that read 'Antidepressants.' I took 5 pills hoping to forget everything.

It was the next day and I decided not to go to school. Sometimes bricks just hit you on the head and you feel too shitty to do anything.

It was 6:00 P.M and I decided to get up from the bathtub that I had been crying in for almost a whole day. I changed into new clothes and went back to bed. I hear my phone buzz. The first time I chose to ignore it. That's until the buzzing didn't stop. I open the screen and see a bunch of text messages from Meli and Chris.

I open up Chris's messages.

Chris: Hey
Chris: why didn't you come to school?
Chris: you missed out on Field day!
Chris: we went to the park and had relay races and played tug of war
Chris: wish you were there.
Chris: oh yeah..
Chris: sorry about yesterday.
Chris: I didn't mean to... Directly..touch you. If you know what I mean..
Chris: Hello?
Chris: Why'd you leave me on seen?
Chris: Luna?
Chris: are you okay?
Chris: LUNA!
Chris:   :( please say something
Chris: L
Chris: u
Chris: n
Chris: a
Chris: Hellllllooooo
Chris: just tell me if you're okay or not
Chris: please?
Chris: ugh

Meli: heyyyyyyy buddy
Meli: why were you out?
Meli: You sick?
Meli: try sour cream and honey! My grandma taught me! It helps soothe your throat
Meli: lulu!
Meli: Answer me!

At this point I didn't care who was messaging me. I put my phone on silent and put myself to sleep

(The next morning)
I tried using foundations to cover up the big bruise on my face. It didn't help but instead brought, more attention. I really don't want to go to school. I slip on a hoodie to cover up my bruised face and sweatpants.

I arrived at English class. The teacher was absent which makes everything worse because now Meli, Chris and Andrew can talk all they want to me.

"heyyyyyy!" Meli says with a mouth full of salted potato chips.

"Hi." I reply plopping myself in the four connected Tables where Chris was sitting in front of me.

"Where were you yesterday?" Meli says as she hands Andrew the bag of chips.

"I was really sick." I reply.

Chris stops doodling in his paper and stares at me as if he knew where I really was.

{{Chris's P.O.V}}

The teacher isn't here so I decided to just doodle to distract myself. Luna comes in with a big hoodie that's two times her size. Just as I was about to ask where she was yesterday, Meli does so for me.

" I was really sick." She replied.

I knew she was lying and that something was wrong. I noticed a big bruise on her face and decided to ask her about it

"What's wrong with your face." I stop doodling.

"Oh.. This?" She points to her face. "It's just a bruise I got when I fell down."

Sure. Just a bruise. Something was telling me she either tried to purposely hurt herself or she just is clumsy. In my mind I was just staring at her purple cheekbones trying to think of what could've happened.

"Chris?" Meli waves her hand on front of her face.

"Uhh. Yeah?" I nod.

Meli looks at Luna with a smirk. I quickly change the subject to distract her from saying anything.

"So.. Umm. I won't be here for 7th and 8th period."

"Why not?" Meli asks.

"I have to organize the school dance and stuff." I reply. The bell rings and I run out of class...
