I got up from my bed and stretched. I looked over and seen Max. I carefully got out from the bed and started to slowly walk to the bathroom.
"Where are you going?"
I stopped in my tracks and turned around. Max was looking at me with his sleepy eyes.
"Just to the bathroom."
"Hurry back."
I nodded and walked inside. I closed the door and looked in the mirror. I seen the bruises on my neck and the black eye.
I lifted my hand and touched my eye. I winced and stopped.
"How am I going to hide this?"
All of a sudden the bathroom door opened and Max walked in. I moved out of his way slowly and he grabbed my face. He moved my head and looked at my face.
He clicked his tongue and sighed heavily
"This wouldn't have happened if you just listened to me. Here."
He handed me some sun glasses.
"Wear these today. Get dressed so we can go."
He began to get dressed in the bathroom. I walked outside and went into his closet. I found some jeans and another turtle neck. I put the clothes on and then the sunglasses.
"You look good. Covered up. Just the way I like you."
I didn't say anything to him.
After we went to school
...
"Rose. Hey!"
I looked up from my locker and seen Jimin. I smiled at him and he smiled back at me.
"What's up with those glasses? You never wear them. It's hot as hell today too. Another turtle neck?"
I nodded and chuckled at him.
"I've been into turtle necks lately"
He smiled at me brightly and I couldn't help but smile. The way his whole face transforms alone with his smile, it can light up the darkest alleyway.
"Where's Max?"
I blinked multiple times and looked around for him.
"I don't know."
Jimin nodded and looked towards our class.
"Let's get to class then hm?"
"Yeah."
We walked inside and sat down. The bell had just rung right when we sat down.
Mr. Kim was waiting on the students to quiet down but it didn't take long.
"Miss Carter, take off the glasses please. We're inside."
My heart raced. I slowly took them off and slid them on my desk. I kept my head down but I felt Mr. Kim's eyes on me.
The classroom got quiet and then I heard shuffling feet.
"Thank you. Alright so today class..."
