They performed a lot of test on me at the hospital. I tested negative for all Sexually Transmitted Diseases. They cleaned up my wounds and then my mom was allowed in the room. She immediately rushed over to me hugging me tightly crying with me. I've never missed my mom so much. I get home sick after spending a weekend at a friend's house, imagine being gone for 6 months. We were holding each other comforting one another.

"I'm so happy you're okay" My mom tells me wiping her eyes. "Me too" I sit up wiping my eyes.

"Your dad was worried too" I have seen or spoken to my father since he and my mom got divorced my freshman year. I've hated him since the divorce because he ruined my moms life. She was depressed for a while and she's just now finding herself again and living lavishly without him. He filed for divorced because he felt as though she was too focused on work. Who wouldn't be focused on their money?! He left her and started a family with his new wife that I've never bothered to meet.

"Oh" was all I said rolling my eyes still wiping my face. I spent a few more hours in the hospital and I was able to go home. I was just so geeked to go home, I just wanted to take a nice long hot shower and sleep in my bed. She pulled into the driveway of the house and I still couldn't believe I was home. I followed behind her as she walked to the front door, unlocking it. I stepped inside and she turned on the light, everything looked just the way I remembered. This is still so surreal to me right now.

"I'll bring you a face towel and dry towel" My mom tells me taking off her shoes walking upstairs.

I walked around the house just trying to remember everything and then I went in my bedroom. The first thing I noticed was a huge teddy bear sitting on my bed with a envelope in between its legs. I smiled grabbing the envelope pulling out the card. It was a welcome home card. I opened the card and saw it was from Bryson and Harley. Harley wrote her name in red crayon, it was so adorable. Bryson signed his name and wrote "Happy Birthday" with a heart and smiley face next to it. That little heart just brightened my day even more. My mom knocks on the door and proceeds to walk in.

"Oh that's cute" She says with a smile "Whose that from?"

"Harley and Bryson" I tell her taking the towels from her hand. "Bryson huh? We'll talk about that tomorrow, Happy Birthday hun" She says kissing my cheek before walking out the room. I forgot that I kissed him in front of everyone earlier today, I was just so carefree. I still don't even know what that kiss meant, Bryson and I have a lot to talk about. She's probably gonna treat me tomorrow.

I was in the shower for about an hour, I just needed that really good cleansing. I stepped out the shower wrapping a towel around my bare body and around my dripping wet hair. I walked into my bedroom locking the door behind me. I looked in the mirror and I had a few little bruises on my forehead. It wasn't nothing major but it kinda hurt when I touch it. I dried my hair the best I could would my towel and braided my hair into two sloppy French braids.

I opened one of my drawers grabbing a bra and panties then I slipped them on quickly. As I was getting dressed I noticed a few bluish purple bruises on my stomach. I pulled a white tank top on over my head and slipped on a pair of black shorts. I turned on my television and sat down on my bed, it was an episode of Catfish being played on MTV. My mom knocked on the door
