The Shadow Girl

Chapter 6: I Don't Belong

Chapter 6.... I Don't Belong

"I was at a football game." I said

"With who?"

"A friend."

"Boy or girl?"

"Boy."

She crossed her arms and started tapping her foot. I could tell she was a little mad but there was also something else that she was thinking. I had no clue what she was thinking, with her it could be anything. My stomach was starting to hurt, out of all people in my lfe it was her that I feared the most. Big surprise, she's the one who is taking me in. The only one who was willing to foster me. She stopped and sighed

"Okay since he is your only friend." She said

I was surprised at her words and that was all she said. Normally if it's a boy she forbids me from seeing them again. But couldn't protest to her words so I just nodded. She walked away and I just stood there taking in her words. Once I relaized I was standing there looking like a fool I decided to walk to the staircase and then up the stairs I went. There was only one place I wanted to be right now, so that's where I went. Into my room

I shut the door and I dropped my bag then I walked to my bed

"I actually got away with that." I said to myself as I smiled

I decided to have a shower, after this crazy day I needed a nice warm shower to calm myself. I walked to the bathroom and I placed my clothes in my hamper. Then I walked over and turned the water on, then I hopped into the shower. Warm water trickled down my body and I kept my locket on and I just let the water wash it as well, it needed to be cleaned. It wouldn't rust or tarnish which was amazing. I held my locket in my hand and tears started to fall and it mixed with the warm water. I missed Anna so much, I missed my actually family, I missed my creator, I missed my old life all together. I missed being happy. I missed being myself

I looked down at my waist to see a bruise starting to form, damn did it ever look painful. He must have grabbed me really hard but I didn't feel it. You're supposed to be gentle with a girl. I was sad and angry. But I have to move on. Once I finished my shower and I placed a towel on my body and my hair, I walked back into my room. I stood in my room for a little bit. Then I took my hair towel off and I brushed my hair then I tied it up. Then I took off my towel and the bruise was getting worse. I shrugged and put my clothes on and go ready for bed. I wore a tank top the came up to my belly button and pajama pants that came up to my hip bones. Since I was in my room for the night no one would see the bruise, I laid on my bed just thinking

I walked over to my radio and turned it on. Music filled my room and it made me feel better. I started dancing around my room, this made me feel happy. Once I got tired I laid down on my bed again. I smiled as I was laying there. I heard foot steps across the floor, I turned down my radio. I sat up when I heard door open but as soon as I seen Chase's face I tensed

"Get out." I said

He came into my room quietly and shut my door, he knew if she finds out he is here he will get in trouble. I would get in more trouble than he would, she would accuse me of trying to come on to him. Which wasn't the case. He came over and sat down on my bed. He looked down at my waist where the bruise was, he pointed his finger at it

"Who did that?" He asked

"Does it matter?" I asked

"Yes."

"Go away, it doesn't matter. I'm fine." I said

"Was it the boy you were with?"

"No." I said
