Never Been In Love

Regrets.

I woke up the next morning and my head was pounding. Where was I? Someone's arms were gripped around my waist, and I turned to see Lucas, sighing in relief. I got out from his arms, crawled out of bed and went looking for a bathroom. I finally found one and walked in. I gasped when I saw my reflection in the mirror. I looked terrible, makeup was smeared all  over my face, hair was a mess and I had bruises all over me. What the heck happened?

I whipped my makeup off, dug through the doors to find a hairbrush and a hair elastic and put my hair up in a messy bun. I walked back to Lucas' room and dug through his dresser to find a sweater and put it on, I don't think he'll mind. 

"Lisa?" He moaned. 

"Yeah, it's just me" I said and kissed him on the cheek. I couldn't remember what happened last night, all I remember is Lucas and I arguing. 

"Come back and lay here with me" He mumbled. 

"No I've got to go" I said, I grabbed my shoes off the floor, grabbed my phone off the night stand. Lucas already passed out again. I got up and left. 

I left his house in a hurry, because everyone was probably freaking out about why I didn't come home last night. It was muggy outside, I guess it rained last night. I felt like I looked like one of those people who have one night stands. 

I was trying so hard to remember what happened to me last night and why my face was so red and how I got these bruises. I rolled up my sleeves to see the bruises, and slowly I remembered that Lucas and I didn't just argue, no he beat me up. All of a sudden a wave of anxiety rushed over me, did I have sex with Lucas? No that's impossible, I woke up with my clothes on. 

"LISA?" I turned around to see Danny running up to me. I quickly rolled down the sleeves on the sweater. 

I kept walking and ignored him, he can't see me like this. 

"Lisa" He shrieked again, and then caught up to me. 

"Hi" I mumbled, not looking over at him, so he couldn't see my face. 

"Why are you out this early in the morning?" He asked. 

"I slept over at Lucas' house, he had a party soo.." I mumbled, still not looking at him. 

"You at a party?" He shrieked. 

"Yeah, I know crazy" I said. 

"I remember when we went to my brothers party" he laughed, "What a day that was. Did Kallie force you to go?"

"No, I went because Lucas asked me too" I mumbled, still looking away from him. 

"Why won't you look at me?" He asked, I shrugged my shoulders, "Lisa, Look at me" and I shook my head. 

He stopped me and turned me towards him, i tried turned my head trying to not let him see me, but eventually he put down my hood and saw my bruised face. His eyes widened and looked so surprised. 

"What happened to you?" He shrieked. 

"Nothing" I said. 

"This isn't nothing Lisa, you look like shit" Danny said. 

"Wow. thanks" I growled and he let me go and i put my hood up again. 

"Did Lucas do that to you?" He shrieked. 

"NO" I yelled. 

"Lisa, Don't lie to me!" He yelled. 

"I don't know okay? I just don't remember what happened last night" I screamed and I threw my hands in the air, and my sleeves rolled down exposing the bruises on my arms. 

"LISA" He screamed and grabbed my arms, "Why are you with him?"

"He's really sweet okay? he didn't mean to hurt me, he was drunk, and things happened." I growled. 

"Lisa, this isn't okay, he can't do this to you, even if he was drunk" He yelled. 

"He's my boyfriend, and I trust him. So maybe he has a reason for doing this okay?" I said. 

"Lisa, you deserve better than this" he said. 

"I've always wanted...." and before I could finish, I heard Lucas yell my name, "Umm I have to go" 

"No, Lisa, You can't" Danny said, and I ran off to get into Lucas' car. I got into his car, and he looked so mad at me. 

"Why'd you leave? You need to help me clean up" He growled and took off, and as I passed Danny, I mouthed to him: I'm sorry, and he shook his head. 

"Umm, sorry, I really need to get home, my phones dead, and my mom is probably freaking out." I rambled. 

"Shit you look awful" he said,"here, you left your concealer here, so put some on" 

I took the concealer and put down the mirror and covered up the bruises on my face. When I finished applying the makeup, I looked over at him and wondered if we had sex.

"Lucas, last night did we...?" I quietly asked. 

"Have sex? No. You wouldn't let me" He laughed. I sighed in relief, "but we would have, would have made for a memorable night"

"umm.. also... how did I get these" I said and rolled up my sleeves. 

"Things got rough" Was all he said to me.
