Insecurities, and then the bad boy

Chapter 7- Weekend

Back to Winters P.O.V-

When he left my mom smacked me.

Mom:"He better not have saw you girl!"

Winter: "H-he didn't, I cl-closed the door too fast." I was still stuttering from what happened earlier. As she looked at me in disgust I held in my tears. She slapped me on my shoulder that she belted me on and I said 'Ow'.

She finally walked away and I closed the door and collapsed on my bed. The smell of my sheets were not the best smell because my mom only lets me wash them once a year, but I don't care anymore.

After I cry a little longer I fall asleep.

2:37 am-
I woke up terrified from an awful nightmare. It was about my mom beating me to death. I look around quick and see she's not there.
Thank gosh! I'm still scared but I just go under my thin covers and go back to sleep.

*************************************

I wake up at 10 am and I get one of my books and start reading. A few minutes later I here my mom shouting for me and I quickly go downstairs.

Mom: "Don't go anywhere outside of this house today. You wouldn't want anyone seeing those right?" She points to my leg and shoulder even though you can't see the shoulder bruise. I nod and she continues.

Mom: "I won't be back until Monday so don't go anywhere today! I could care less about tomorrow but not today. And if I found out you let anyone in this house, you will receive another punishment. Understood?" I nod again and she leaves with a suitcase in her hand. She slams the door and I can hear her start her car as I walk to the kitchen.

I drink a glass of milk and go upstairs. I can't believe she didn't care that I had shorts on, maybe she just didn't realize. No that can't be it because she pointed to them. I read for a little longer when I got in my room and then slept for most of the day.

After I woke up at 7 pm, wow I slept for 9 hours, I got my homework out and finished it by 9 pm. Then I was bored like always and I couldn't sleep because I wasn't tired so I jogged around the house but after a little bit it hurt my leg with the bruise too much so I stopped and took a shower.

*************************************

I laid down in my bed and just stared at the ceiling. I feel like I'm losing the only emotions left now. My sadness is turning into nothing, but my guilt is staying strong and not leaving me. And at that thought I went to sleep.

*************************************

The next morning I decided to go on a walk because I haven't gone on one in a while. I drink a glass of milk, put on some leggings and a sweatshirt and leave.

I walk to a park. I just make circles around the park until it's noon and walk back to my house. When I'm a few houses away I hear someone call my name.

Great now I'm going to get bullied outside of school to. I turn around and Garret is running up to me. I'm glad I didn't wear shorts even though it's warm because he would see the bruise.

Garret: "Hey Winter." He says and I can't tell if it's a good or bad 'hey' because his eyes are blank.

Winter: "Please can y-you and your friends only beat m-me up at school.
N-not out h-here by my h-house... please."

Garret: "I'm not gonna beat you up. I was gonna see if you wanted to hang out." I know that's going to mean something bad so I start running. I don't get very far though because my leg hurts really bad. I fall over and I grip my leg. I feel my leggings tear because of my fall and I make sure he can't see that side of my leg.

Garret: "Oh my god! Are you ok?" He rushes over and tries to see my leg but I don't let him.

Winter: "No d-don't look at m-my leg!" Just then a car pulls up in My driveway and Maria comes running out.

Maria: "What happened?!" She rushes to my side but I back away a little from them still clutching my leg.

Maria looks at Garret with a death glare.

Maria: "What did you do!!!" She yells at him.

Garret: "I didn't do anything! I asked her if she wanted to hang out and she started running, then she fell and won't let me see her leg." Maria looked at me.

Maria: "Let me see your leg Winter." I shook my head violently as a tear slid down my face. Maria gave me a harsh but sad look.

Maria: "Please Winter." I tried to stand up and run but I fell and blacked out.
