A Broken Angel - a Lisa Cimorelli story

I Know

LISA:

I was sat in my room trying to find a shirt to put on, I found a short sleeved shirt then realised my arms were still on show and my cuts were visible , I quickly found a black long sleeves shirt and put it on, when I heard a knock at the door, I replied " one sec".

I went to open the door and Lauren came in, she said " wasn't you wearing a white shirt earlier" then her eyes glanced over to my bed, when I suddenly realised my blood stained shirt was laying there for Lauren to see. I quickly jumped on my bed hoping Lauren hadn't seen the shirt.

She then came over to me and perched on the side of the bed and quietly said " I know , I saw you when you came out the bathroom and you didn't clean the blood up very well" she then calmly said " why", I looked at her and to try and confuse her I said " it wasn't mine and I've been wearing this shirt all day " I said laughing trying to hide the fact that she knew.

She looked at me and said "Lisa jus", I cut her off before she could finish her sentence " Lauren, you have no idea what you are talking about and you have gotten the wrong idea, now can you just leave it" I then heard my brother Michael come in "shut up, I'm trying to do something and your yelling is distracting me, what are you yelling about anyway" I replied " nothing, now go away" he left the room followed by Lauren. I fell back onto my bed, hoping that Lauren would keep quiet about what she saw.

I then quickly remembered that she had said I hadn't cleaned the bathroom properly, I shot up and ran to the bathroom, I looked around and saw the blood, I hoped no one else had seen it. i quickly cleaned the rest of it up with some wet tissue, then flushed it down the toilet. I then opened the door and quietly went downstairs.

As I went downstairs I heard nothing, it was silent. I turned into the kitchen and was met with Christina , Michael, Katherine and my mom.

My mom then said "we know about uncle Jonathan, we know he's back Lisa, but don't worry he will never hurt you again".

I stared at my mom and then ran outside, i needed to see Noah, I had made the biggest mistake yelling at him. my mom called me back but I just ran and knocked into his door, Noah opened the door and I hugged him. I said "I'm sorry I yelled , my family know he's back".

He suddenly pushed me back just holding my shoulders and quietly said " I need to leave, just for a couple of weeks, my uncle was admitted into hospital last night and my mom needs me to be there to look after Mollie and Sam"(his brother and sister).

I looked at him upset but understood why he had to go and said "okay, ill be fine , I'm just a bit scared, when are you going?" he replied " you will be fine, if you need to talk call me straight away and I'm leaving in 1 hour, I'm just packing the last of my things", I looked up at him and hugged him tight, I thanked him for being here and making me feel better and helped him pack, an hour passed and the car arrived to pick him up, we kissed and he said "goodnight", I always wondered why he said goodnight instead of goodbye so I asked him, he replied with the most beautiful quote i had ever heard, he said "goodbye is like forever whereas goodnight just means the day has ended but there are still many more to come", and with that he left. I was just coming up to the front door when a strong grip grabbed my damaged arm, it was so painful, as I was about to scream in pain another hand covered my mouth and I was dragged across the street into an abandoned house. it was then that I was struck across my body with a baseball bat, I collapsed In agony as the pain hit me what felt like a thousand times, I was kicked and punched, my vision began to blur, when I heard a familiar voice " it's your fault, I told you I would get you back" I begged for my life as I was thrown outside of the house where my attacker made his escape, leaving me to die in the middle of the street.
