Scars (Luke Hemmings)

Screams

Brynn's POV
~~~~~~~~

When I woke up I knew something was off. I didn't hear iris' usual clatter of paint brushes like I always did on Saturday morning.

As I rolled out if bed I realized that I was in only a sports bra and leggings. I pulled out an old band Tshirt that I stole from Anna and walked to the kitchen.

I walked over to the cabinets and grabbed my mustache mug. I placed it in the kurig along with a nestle hot chocolate k-cup.

As my hot chocolate was being made I turned on the tv and put on the news.

'It's a cold one folks! be sure to stay indoors and...' I left to go pick up my hot chocolate. I pulled the bag of marshmallows out of the cabinet as the front door squeaked open.

'You were up early.' I said as she strolled into the kitchen with several bags of groceries.

'I couldn't sleep. I had the unsettling feeling in my stomach.' She said as she pulled a box of saltines out of one of the bags.

'Me too.' I paused. 'do you think Luke saw my scars?'

'No. Calum texted me last night saying that Luke had his eyes closed the whole time.' I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

'Thank goodness.'

'Here I got these for us.' she said as she pulled out two Reese's packs, two bags of Rips and two packs of Oreos. She smiled as she laid them out on the counter top.

'Bum day?'

'Yup!'

~~~~~
Eddie Valiant: You mean you could've taken your hand out of that cuff at any time?!

Roger Rabbit: No, not at any time, only when it was funny.

Me and Iris were currently in the middle of an intense disney movie marathon. we alternated between her and my favorites. right now we're on Who Framed Roger Rabbit, one of my all time favorites.

I heard a loud knock on the door.

'Coming!' I yelled through a mouthful if Oreos.

I threw the door open without even looking through the peep hole.

'Hey Brynn.' I slammed the door shut.

'Brynn!' Luke shouted as he opened the door back up.

'Go away.' I simply stated as I threw myself back into my nest of blankets and food wrappers.

'I'll just wait in my room.' iris said gathering her blankets and scurrying down the hall.

I heard her door slam.

Thanks for the help Mirl.

'Boo!' he whispered in my ear. I jumped and spun to look at him.

'Get away from me.' I whisper shouted at him. I climbed off the couch and stood in front of him.

'Why? I have so much news to tell you.'

'News?'

'Yes,' he leaned in. 'About your father.' he whispered.

'My-my father?' I stuttered

'Yes you idiot. turn on channel 12.' I grabbed the remote and pressed the digits.

'... An there's been a recent sighting of Mark Fazio this week near his old home in New York. The record producer disappeared after it was discovered that he kidnapped and abused his daughter and best friend. soon after the two girls were put in police custody and graduated high school a year early...' I pressed to off button.

'He's back.' I turned to see that it was Iris in the doorway who whispered what was on my mind.

'Call Anna.' I said

'What's Anna going to do?' Luke asked acting innocent.

'Anna is not only a football coach and our guardian but she is a Child Protection Services agent who was assigned to keep us safe no matter what.' I snapped at him.

I paced the room while Iris called Anna. I felt hot tears raining down my cheeks. Luke was watching intently while my mental battle hit a stalemate.

'What are you staring at?!' I screamed.

'Your hideous face!' he yelled back.

'Stop it!' I screamed getting up in his face.

'You stop!' He shoved me back.

'No-'

Glass shattered and a whirring sound pierced the air. a hole was punched though the Tv as our heads snapped to the broken window. outside stood a man in black who's face was pulled into a menacing smile.

'He's back.'
