Jordan:

It was a quarter past nine and I was laying in bed scrolling through my Instagram feed. I received a text from Eli he was reminding me about my court cases. I don't want to go to court, I don't want to see Scott's face. I escaped that's all that matters why do I have to go to trial. Eli's messages were coming faster now. I locked my phone and decided to take a shower. I can't even enjoy my morning in peace.

I needed time to think. I looked for a shower cap. Finally, someone keeps showed caps in their house. Ally never had shower caps, in the beginning I would always bring mine. Eventually, I just left one there since I spent the night at her house multiple times. I turned on the water and waited for it to get hot. I wrapped my hair up and put on the shower case.

The curtains opened and I screamed. Liv stood there laughing. "What the fuck" I yelled. "I'm sorry this was way sexier in my head."

My scar popped up in my head. I covered my stomach.

"What do you want?" I spat.

"What's the problem? I've seen you naked before why are you acting all shy now?" she asked.

"I'm not acting shy I just want to shower in peace you can't just open the curtains while people are in the shower" I lectured.

She crossed her arms she knew I was lying I hate that she could tell. She was wearing her long tweety bird gown. It made her look shorter than usual. "What's going on and don't lie to me this time" she threatened.

"The day the cops rescued me from Scott I was shot" I paused. My body was shaking I hate thinking back to that day. Liv stepped into the shower. "What are you doing?" Liv hugged me, "your shaking again you do that sometimes after you have nightmares" she said in a gentle tone. I kept my hands covering my scar. She stopped hugging me and touched my hand she was trying to remove my hands off my scar. "Stop"

"Jordan you don't need to hide anything for me" she assured me. "Whatever it is isn't gonna change the way I feel about you" she added. I hate this mark against my stomach she claims she won't look at me any different but she's lying I look at myself differently. What's stopping her from doing the same.

"Remember how I hated my natural hair texture I was always insecure about it until you saw it and told me I looked pretty." "I know its a bad analogy but I was overthinking my hair for a long time, it was all in my head until I learn to embrace it."

Am I overthinking my scar? "I never thought I was perfect but this scar makes me feel damaged." Liv rubbed her hands over mine. "This is what you're worried about a scar, Jordan you are perfect you will always be perfect to me, your not damage your a survive and that scar is a reminder of how strong you are. Don't ever underestimate yourself," she told me.

Survivor...

Strong...

I removed my hands exposing my scar. Liv stared at it, she was right near the showerhead, her gown and hair were getting soaked. "You're the most beautiful girl in the world." She brushed her fingers against my scar. "This doesn't make you any less beautiful if anything it makes you look like a badass" Liv gently grab my face and gave me a kiss she had me against the wall "You're getting your gown all wet," I told her.

"I don't care" she said before kissing me again. She rubbed her hands down my side. Liv's hair was soaked, leaving her curls dangling in her face. I moved a piece of her hair behind her ear. I stared deep into her eyes. She's so beautiful, I will never take her for granted again. I pulled her in again for another kiss.

Her gown was soaked it seemed silly for liv to still be wearing her gown. Liv raised her arms so I can remove her gown over her head. She stood there in front of my breast exposed wearing only her red cheeky underwear. She pushed me back against the shower wall and cupped my breast. Her tongue rubbed against my nipple.
