The Lovely Abused

Chapter 8:

TRIGGER WARNING AT END

When I woke up everything was pitch black and dead silent, as if no one was here. I gently sat up with bolts of pain surging through my body, I limp up the stairs to see it was just four forty-two.

I went into the bathroom and peeled off all my clothes looking at the nasty bruises that have formed. I turned the shower on to hot and got in carefully. After I put on a white shirt and jeans, I braided my hair to the side to cover the bruise that somehow reached up my neck. I took three painkillers and put on bengay.

I went out onto my porch and took out a cigarette and just sat there when I heard some noises. I looked over and there was Nora coming out of Blakes house. He gave her a big kiss while rubbing her ass. I rolled my eyes and kept smoking, I do have to admit, it hurt watching him and her. I pushed away my stupid thought and went back inside, grabbing my keys and driving to school.

I hesitantly went inside the crowded school, scared someone was going to accidentally bump into me and hit my bruise. I got to my locker and put my books up along with some notebooks. When I closed my locker Reggie was standing next to it causing me to jump.

"Reggie!?" I breathed out looking at my feet.

"You okay?" He asks wrapping his arm around my waist.

"I'm fine, Reggie." I smile up at him. "How are you?" I ask.

"Great." He chuckles. "Have you seen Alex?" He asks and I nod no.

"No, why?" I ask and he stops walking.

"Don't get mad at me." He begs and I just chuckle at his puppy eyes.

"You want to ask Alex to either be your girlfriend, fuck buddy, or is it a date?" I ask and he looks surprised that I figured it out.

"Um, date." He replies, I nod and keep walking.

"Make sure it's a good one." I respond and he smirks at me. As I was walking towards my home room I passed Nora and Blake swapping faces. He caught a glance of me and stopped kissing her. I walked off and entered the room.

'Look what happens when you trust someone!' My brain yelled at me. 'You should never love anyone. It happened once and look where it got you!' I sighed, resting my head on the desk. Everything was too much.

"Jordie?" I heard Blake say. I kept my head down because I didn't want to talk to him, look at home, listen to him. He pushed my shoulder where I had my bruise to try and wake me up. I jumped out of my seat in pain causing everyone to look at me.

"Don't touch me." I said walking out. I ran to the girls, empty, bathroom and locked the door. I looked at my shoulder to see it turned worse, my wrist was swollen, my lip was still busted, and my whole body hurt so bad. I so badly wanted to cry, but forced myself not to. I ran out of the bathroom and grabbed my stuff from my locker and drove off.

I ended up at the hospital my friend worked at. I hesitantly walked in and went up to the lady at the front desk.

"I need to see Wren Henderson, now. Please." I beg and she looks up st me.

"Okay honey, let's go." She says and gets out of the cubical and I follow her with my arms around me. The hospital was white and freezing with nurses and doctors everywhere. This hospital brought back so many memories. Wren Henderson is probably twenty-seven, he helped my mom when she was here and he helped me.

We got into a tiny room and there was Wren, his beautiful blue eyes, his smile that he always gave me, and his brown messy hair.

"Jordie!?" He said, with his British accent, surprised. I smiled at him and he gave me a big hug that I returned. We stayed like this for awhile and I had tears in my eyes that I wouldn't let spill.
