Stay by my side

Chapter 3 secrets are spilled

I felt my eyes tear up as I set the the card down and head to the bathroom to clean my face up, taking my contacts out, I quickly found my glasses; a 50's nerd style glasses, god I look like a nerd. Fully seeing, i realized that my makeup from the date had smeared all the way to the corners of my lips; making me look like a raccoon. Hastily, I took out my glasses once again, I'm blind. Rushing to get the makeup out, running the cool water up and down my face, feels refreshing.once done, I put my long red-brown hair into a messy bun, letting my hair shine through. Almost finishing, I looked straight at my reflections, I cautiously reached for the handle leading to the medicine cabinet. Opening it, it revealed makeup of all kinds. Looking for the concealer, I finally found it near the mascara. Grabbing it, followed by getting the blush brush, to help blend it. Ok, taking deep breaths I looked at my reflections one last time, Anthea, you can do this. Turning my tan left arm revealing the pale side but was put aside as something else caught all the attention; scars. Deep light, old and new scratching my lower arm, back and forth, forming X's and shapes undiscovered. Horrified by the image, I took no hesitation to scoop up the cool tan concealer and apply it on my skin, blending it among the red slashes, making it hidden. Then repeated it on my right. My parents found out a year ago, being disappointed when finding out, so I tend to hide it. Exiting the bathroom, I head towards the stairs to descend. Walking down, a smell filled the air, scenting of bacon, and fruit. Lifting my mood, I ran down the stairs, before making it to the couch, I was trampled by a squealing Aimee as she tugged towards my destination; the couch. Obviously excited, Aimee took no haste to share her news," Ok, so after you and Cam left me and Flynn "did it " " anticipating for my response, I asked," Was it good?" Expecting for a response, Aimee nodded and turned my head towards the kitchen, seeing Cam and Flynn making breakfast. Aimee turned my head back around, facing her. " Mom and Dad are having one of their daily dates, so we get the house to ourselves!" Moments later, I felt an arm around my waist, causing me to tense up. I carefully tilted my head sideways only to find Cam holding 2 plates, with Flynn passing us doing the same thing.
After breakfast, Cam and me went to the upstairs den to watch a movie. Like I'm gonna suffer watching Aimee and Flynn making out. Opening the double doors, I felt a force push me, closing the doors, Cam pushed me onto the couch. The warm smile that lived on Cam's face disappeared, turning stony and serious. "Do you cut?" He asked in a stern but gentle way, chocking on my words, I managed to squeak out a yes. "Show me your scars" Cam said, "But......why?" I asked, confused. "I want to see how many times you needed me and I wasn't there."Cam whispered, a tear rolling down his cheek.
Cleaning up the makeup in the bathroom, I look up to find Cam taking my left arm; my worst one and making a line of kisses from the wrist to the top of the lower arm. After showering me with kisses he whispered in my ear," Your cuts are beautiful" and I let a tear roll down my cheek.
