Bruises

insecurities

I woke up to smell of homeade waffles and the noice of eggs being cooked. I looked around noticing that Alexa was still sleeping and smiled. She loved her sleep, in fact she could hibernate, but if you woke her up she would choke you.

I could never sleep at my house in my rusty old bed where the heater broke and my bruises stayed as memories. What would happen hours earlier would haunt my mind and thats why I always had dark eye bags and was called out by.

I kissed the top of her temple and walked down the creaking stairs in Alexa's onesie I borrowed since I didnt have a pajama.

" 'Morning Mrs. Martinez,"

"How many times have I told you to call me Ana or mum?" Alexas mom was like my mum since I didnt have one and she practically raised me.

I stiffled my laughter as she brewed some coffee for herself. "Had a good night sleep babe?" She asked. "Hardly, Ally kept on hogging the blanket and snoring loudly."

"Thats Alexa for ya,"

"Oh hey mum, whats for breakfast? A cringing Alexa joined the conversation as she walked down the stairs her messy hair covering her face and barely opening her eyes. "You know you should start making your own breakfast." Her mum replied causing her to snort at such comment.

"Do you know who I am?"

"A very lazy bitch?" I asked and she nudged by shoulder making me do it back.

"Mmmm...I smell omelets, and chocolats chip waffles..." A drooling, and very hungry Hayley, Alexa's 15 year old sister approached us, running down the steps, her short blond curls jumping up and down.

We laughed as she came staring in awe at the heavenly sight in her childish pajamas.

After breakfast We had to rush to school because we kept on taking extra chocolate chips and Alexa tooked forever in the bathroom just to do her makeup and hair and change into high tops, jean shorts, and her boyfriends varsity jacket. I wore my leggings and a plain beige sweater. I was too insecure to show any skin. I couldn't pull anything off like Alexa or Hayley or Brittany or even her minions . I was the opposite of perfect. I was made of flaws and my faded tangled brown hair and a too skinny body was nothing in compare to all the gorgeous blonds at the school with beautiful bodies attracting all the jocks.

"Looks like someone stayed up all night watching porn,"

Oh not her again!

Brittney opnionated. Everyone always called this Queen B, slutty which I disagree with. I always though she was just a pretty redhead who showed off more cleavage than needed, and gives too many signs to the soccer players, her favorite, but then again I happen to be innocent.

"You look like a hobo who beggs for scraps," She smirked in defeat until Alexa commented "Well not everyone can get lip injections and a nose job in the last 24 hours like you,"

"Oh hey Ally, still hanging out with losers like her?"

"At least shes not as slutty as you,"

"You're a weak ass whore!" She yelled irritated. "Shut up cause I beat your little 3rd grade ass up and you could barely balance on two feet afterwords."

"Thats enough!" I finally commented out of the blue catching them by suprise.

"Sky I'm just defending you from this hopeless female dog," Brittney rolled her eyes at her remark. "Whatever its not like she'll stop anyway." I didn't have time for this highschool drama. I didn't like being included in bullying even if it was with my own bully. At this I looped my elbow with my best friend and walked away forgetting about Brittney.

But like the wolf she'll always come back and try to find a way to break me down...........
