bruises

window

I woke up at 3 a.m. to the sound of taps on my window. I saw dinger, out there in the pouring rain.

I went to open It,but remembered my wrist.

"what do you want now, dinger?" I asked him

he came inside and sat on my bed, soaking wet

"I didn't mean for anything today to happen" he started saying and then looked at my black and blue covered wrist

"halie, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do this to you, I was drinking and I wasn't thinking straight." dinger said

I kissed him as a way of saying I forgive you

"please don't drink anymore" I said to him,but I knew he never would stop.

his life has always been a twisted mess

stepmom went to jail, his dad died, stepmom was in jail for killing his birth mom who Tryed to take him back after his dad died from cancer. he was living on his own since 16.

he took off his wet shirt and we just slept for a hour or so when I woke up to a loud lighting sound from the storm. I sat up when I woke and then realized it was just the storm

I closed my eyes and was drifting back to sleep when dinger said "halie..I love you."

I didn't flinch and said it back with out missing a beat.

we were a complicated couple but dinger is the best thing to ever happen to me.

I woke up at 7 and he was gone, and I had to get ready for school.

I had to think of a way to hide the bruise with out getting questions for it.
