The next morning I woke up in pain. I get up and wince at the brusing. I quietly leave the room making sure I didnt wake Benny up. I grab some clothes and walk into the bathroom. I look in the mirror and I see I had a large bruse on my cheek and my lip was split open. I undress and see many bruises on my arms, ribs and stomach. I let out a shaky sigh and gently put my clothing on, put on a bunch of foundation and lipstick to cover my injuries. I sneak down the stairs, I look in my kitchen and I see my Mom making breakfast, I feel my stomach growl but I quickly run out of the house.

I walk down the street towards the cafe to see if Lilith was there, once I arrived the lady working the counter told me Lilith wouldn't be arriving for another 5-10 minutes. I sat in the chair and waited the longest 10 minutes of my life. I hear the bell ring and I look up and see Lilith walk in, she sorta limped and had a couple cuts and bruises. I walk over to her and i say "Woah... What happened to you?" she glances at me and sighs.
