It hurts.

Like always.

But I couldn't cover up split lips.

Or face injuries in general.

Not the real prominent ones anyways.

But my face wasn't the thing that hurted righ now.

Which was good.

People saw my face after all.

But I still couldn't cover up the split lip.

I could cover up the bruise around my lip, but honestly it just looked kind of weird.

It looked suspicious.

And it couldn't look like that.

But it did.

And it looked even more when I covered it.

So I couldn't cover the bruise.

But the light purple color demanded attention.

Because it actually wasn't a light purple bruise.

It was almost black.

And I don't know how I didn't loose any teeth.

I could make it look lighter.

Somewhat.

But couldn't cover it up.

But oh well.

It wasn't difficult to make something up.
