My Broken Hart-Lucaya

#2-Pain

Maya's POV

"Get your lazy ass out of bed!" I hear Derek yell

He walks in and yanks me out of bed, leaving instant bruises on my arms

He throws me onto the ground

He raises his fist

"Please. Don't" I cry

"Aw. Look at the poor, helpless baby. The ugliest, most useless baby in the world" He says and punches me in the face

He walks out of my room

I walk to the bathroom and look in the mirror

Great! I have bruises on my arms, a hand shaped bruise on my face from yesterday, and a new bruise on my face from just now. I also have some of that stuff that exploded on me in chemistry yesterday. Not to mention all the scars on my arms and legs

This is what makeup is for, right?

I start by washing the gunk off of me in the sink. Then I cover the handprint with foundation, or at least trying too. I then try to cover the bruise on my cheek. I cover my dark circles and bags under my eyes. I put on mascara and chap stick. OK done!

I take one last look in the mirror. The bruises are less visible, but still there. Oh well

I brush my hair and my teeth. I then walk back to my bedroom to get dressed

I get a long sleeved white shirt and some skinny jeans. I put on my combat boots and a jacket

Okay, now I'm ready

I take a deep breath before I grab my stuff and leave through my window

I skip walking to Riley's because she is probably already at school. And I will be late if I stopped there

I run into school and head to History

Mr.Mathews is in the middle of speaking when I walk in

"And so the Patriots- Oh. Hello Ms.Hart. You're late" He says

"I know" I say and sit down

"And so the Patriots kept fighting" He continues

After a while the bell rings and Riley and I walk to P.E.

"Why were you late" Riley asks me

"I, uh, just woke up late" I lie

Riley nods and we walk into the gym

So I guess we are climbing the rope today. 'Cuz that's soooo fun.

Riley starts to climb it. She gets half way there and falls off

I grab the rope and start climbing. The bruises on my arms hurt every time I move them. But, I can't be weak, I have to climb this rope

I get three-quarters of the way there and my arms start throbbing. One hand lets go of the rope, but the other hangs on

I try to grab back on, but I end up falling. I fall onto my left arm

I hear a cracking noise and then feel a major amount of pain

I start to cry

I think I broke my arm!

"Maya! Are you okay?" Riley asks worriedly

"N-no. My arm, it-it hurts" I stutter

"Let's go to the nurse" Riley says, helping me up

When we get to the nurses office, I look in the mirror. My makeup is running off! People will see my bruises!
