Blessed With A Curse (Oli Sykes FanFic)

4

It takes me about 15 minutes to get home and I'm soaked from head to toe. I put away my crap and clean up the house. Random beer bottles and half empty ash trays are scattered throughout the house. For a decent sized two bedroom two bath town house it sure collected a lot of trash. I wash the dishes, sweep, and mop the floor until the strong smell of bleach has been burned into my nostrils. The house is always trashed when my mother decides to stick around so I take any chance I can to clean.

Finally when I'm sure I've done the most I can for the blood stained rug in my room I take another hot shower. Showers are sacred to me, one of the few times I get to really be alone, and not in the "I'm lonely because I don't have any friends" alone. I avoid the mirror while naked, who wants to see a black and blue bruised body?

This was the main reason I couldn't let anyone close; especially not Oli. He would be just as disgusted as I am by my body. And part of it is I'm actually scared to death that someone will see them and not say anything.

I open my closet and I'm greeted by a sea of black clothes, most of which are 10 pairs of the same black jeans. I grab a fitted black sweater and black skinny jeans. I throw my clothes on and search for socks that seem to be disappearing more and more everyday. Finally I find two black socks and slip my combat boots on.

I check my phone quickly and get started on my hair and make up. While I wait for my straightener to heat up I start on my face make up . I blend in some concealer and a tiny bit of blush. I don't normally like putting on too much make up but I wanted to look nice for Oil so I put some light make up on my eyes. Just mascara and eye shadow and then a bit of eyeliner on my waterline. Finally semi satisfied with my face I start on straightening my hair. I run the brush through my wavy hair, it's grown to my waist.

My phone pings and I check my messages. I text Oli back and make sure he has my address.

I unplug my straightener and run back to my room to grab my sling over purse and my house keys, lip-gloss, and wallet although I don't think I'll need it. I run back to the bathroom remembering my precious phone and head down stairs. My phone rings shrilly.

Incoming call : Oli

I hit answer.

"Hey Oli" I say as I head down the stairs.

"Hey Mina, I'm at your door"

"What, really!?" I say surprised "well it's open, so let yourself in. I'm coming down stairs right now."

"Okay," Oli says and he hangs, the front door open and closes. I stop where I am as he come up and he stops too.

"wow, you look...gorgeous," He says breathlessly. I blush and look at my feet smiling brightly.

I look up at him "youlook amazing too," I say as I meet Oli mid stair. His hair is let free naturally and is curly at the ends and his eyes are completely hazel. He's wearing a black jean jacket with a black ripped up Cannibal Corpse shirt and black skinny jeans.

"So, you ready?" he asks.

"Yeah, I have everything" I say.

"Do you need to leave a note for your mum?" he asks and my stomach clenches at the thought of my mom.

"No she won't be here till tomorrow," I say coldly.
