Kidnapped

15 - The Makeup Do-Over

|RUBY|

I wake up with Justin's leg and arm in the same position I fell asleep 4 hours ago. Justin pounds on my back telling me to wake up. It's 8 am already? I only got 4 hours of sleep!

"Now Ruby dear, head to your room and look beautiful for me today!" Justin says with commanding look on his face.

"Now!" He says and rolls me out of his bed, me hitting a thump on the floor, and while you're at it, wake up the other girls.

I sleepily but quickly walk out of Justin's room. First I go across the hall to Jenna's room. I knock slightly, and open the door. "Jenna, sadly it's time to wake up!" I say giggling while hiding my body behind the door trying not to expose my half naked body from last night.

She lets out a big sigh and gets out of bed to get dressed.

Next is Dreyeh. "Oh Dreyeh!" I knock on her door. "Dreyeh get up!" I whisper yell, with a giggle. Once she is up i see her look deep into my eyes, and i can tell she is thinking about something. I next go across the hall to Piper.

"Piper!" I knock to wake her up lastly. "Come on sleeping beauty get up!" I giggle at her being the last one to wake up. Once she is up I head next to her room, and into mine.

I wear the same dress as always, in a dark pink today. I curl my hair a lot and apply a wing eyeliner, highlighter, and a lipstick to match the dress.

I walk out of the hall, and before I can walk to the kitchen Dreyeh spits out a quiet "pst!" From across the hall so I can hear. She tells me to come to her room so we can talk, so I quickly run across the hall.

When I arrive she pats her bed motioning me to sit. I sit in the slot directed and look at her, into her. Bright blue eyes.

"Is it true that you have to sleep with him now too?" Dreyeh asks her eyes a little teary.

"Uh.. y.. yeah." I struggle to make out knowing it is so embarrassing to sleep with a rapist like him.

"I'm so sorry Ruby, and I want you to know I am always across the hall if you need to talk! You can always count on me." She says embracing me for a tight hug.

"Th.. thanks Dreyeh." I quietly spit out. "Now we really need to get to the table before we get into trouble!" I say quickly dashing out the door, gripping her hand so she can follow me out to the breakfast table.

When I arrive to help make breakfast I feel a hand grab my shoulder and turn me around. It's Justin.

He looks at me disgusted and slaps me hard across the face.

"I told you to look extra beautiful for me today Ruby! And you only put on some dumb highlighter, and eyeliner!" He spits, and tells in my face. "Go change! Now!" He says while everyone stares at me, and of course Victoria laughs unstoppably.

I run back to my room crying. When I arrive I put on some foundation to cover the red handprint on my face from Justin slapping me so very hard.

I apply 3 thick coats of mascara, and curl my lashes. And apply pencil liner under my eye. I put on a rosy pink blush, and full in my eyebrows.

Lastly to top it off, I contour my entire face. And run out of the room again to help with breakfast.

When I'm there he turns me around again, and gives me another look of disgust. "It is still not enough, but good enough." He says with a low voice. Ugh the idiot he is.

"Now make me some eggs!" He says.

I run over to the stove to make eggs, and Dreyeh gives me a tight hug. "This is not a time to obsess over friendship!" Justin yells at us.

"Sorry Justin!" She says smiling like she cares. How can she do that so easily?

We make eggs, toast, and cut up fresh apple slices, and peanut butter.

We eat at the table talking, having our normal conversation. Eating as a "family" is the only time I am actually happy with everyone here in the house, even Victoria and her British mole.

Justin and Victoria actually laugh and talk to us like we are.... people. But once it is over it goes back to the nightmare.
