Battered and Bruised

Chapter One

"Kassi! Wait up!" Jake screamed chasing me after school.

"Jake, I don't want to talk about it."

"Kassi, you need to."

"You sure think you know me. You know my face, and my family. Not my or my family's story."

"Kas, I just want to know why!"

"Fine. Come on." Kassi said stubbornly.

After walking home from school

"I don't see why you're so interested!"

"Because you're my girlfriend!!"

There was a long. LONG. Pause.

"Fine, last night, my dad and mom were fighting. Like they ALWAYS have. He, he threw a bottle of vodka at me as I had walked downstairs to get water." I groaned.

"What's wrong Kas?"

I showed him my ankle, leg, and pushed the hair out of my face.

"Oh my god. Kas, are you okay?! Does your mom know what he's done to you?!"

"No.. I kind of told her I was done with the bullshit and kicked myself out..."

"Kas. You need to have that checked out. I can drive if you ne-" I cut him off.

"I'm NOT going to the hospital. Never, in my life. I will not tolerate having this shit going-" I cut myself off. I all of a sudden have no idea why I'm not standing

"What the hell are you carrying me for?!"

"We're going to the hospital! It's not going to stay like this. I'm not letting it happen to you."

"What's the worst that can happen?"

"It falls off." he said sarcastically."

In the car

I wish you wouldn't make me do this."

"Do what?" He rebuttled as if he hadn't done anything.

"You can be such an asshole. You know that?"

"You know I am just caring. Right?"

"caring" There's a word he hasn't used in a long time. I started to stare at his child-like face and I smiled. How'd you end up with such a hot guy? My conscience questioned itself. His dimples, his smile, his laugh, his abs.

"Thinking about me again?"

Such a cocky bastard.

NO!- I scream out. "I-I mean no. Nope. Not at all."

"You love me. You love me even with my sexual inuendos." He says seductively as he places his hand on my inner thigh, making sure he has one hand on the steering wheel. I inhaled sharply. "You like that don't you princess?" After a minute or two, he finally took his hand away.

If he wanted to play that way, we could play that way.

"Maybe I love you," I say as I put my hand on his inner thigh mimicking what he did to me. I slowly started moving my hand further up his thigh.

"Kass-"

"To bad you will never know," I say as putting my hand even closer.

"Not one mor-" He barely mutters out with his deep breathing.

I take my hand away. Hah sorry I'm not sorry. You deserved that.

"Not cool Kass."

"Yeah... But you still love me" I peck him on the cheek and remember we were going to the hospital. Ugh. What a demon place! I hate hospitals!!

At the hospital

"Nothing is broken, and you dont need stitches on your ankle. Your leg on the otherhand, has a hairline fracture and will take some time to heal." Dr. McClenny says

"What about swim team?! What will I do about swim?"

"We could get you a water proof cast, but that will cost more, and will slow you down. You can get a variety of colors Ms. Smith."

"Do you have purple?"

"I believe we do."

We waited about 30 minutes before they came in with the cast-making supplies. They wrapped my leg and said it would be 4-6 weeks. I needed crutches and would be seeking all the attention. GREAT. "Kassi the attention whore" uugghh.
