Sal POV
"Sal, What are you doing there? Come over here and get some lunch, sweetie," Mom says with a gentle smile playing at her lips.
"Ok, Mom," I say, walking over to her.
Mom hands me a sandwich. I take it, feeling my face split open in a wide smile.
"I saw a dog over by the playground," I say, biting down into the soft, crustless sandwich.
"Really?" Mom asks. "Did you go pet it?"
"No. It was really far away," I say.
"Well, that's too bad," Mom brushes my hair away from my face. "I know how much you love dogs."
BARK BARK BARK BARK!
I jerk awake in a cold sweat. I feel my hair brush my shoulders as it bounces from my rude awakening. I run my fingers through my blue locks and sigh softly. That's when I feel something wet touch my thigh. I jerk, thinking it was Gizmo's nose, but then I realized I was crying. I wipe tears away and rub my arms self consciously. I frown and close my eyes. I hadn't had a nightmare like that in months. How strange for them to come back so suddenly.
I grab my prosthetic and put it on in an effort to calm myself down. I breathe slowly and that's when I noticed how sore I was. I groan, realizing what happened. I did not want to go to school feeling the bruises all over my body all day. I start getting up and heading for the bathroom. Taking a long bath always makes me feel better.
Dad was asleep on the couch. I could smell the booze from the doorway to my room. I start to the bathroom and freeze when Dad moves. But he was only rolling over so I breathe a sigh of relief. I finally get into the bathroom and start up the water. As the bath filled up, I remove my prosthetic. I look at myself in the mirror after a moment's hesitation.
Deep scars were etched into my face paired with red and irritated skin. Th empty eye socket that once held my real eyeball stared back at me as the bathroom mirror fogs up. The bath looks adequately filled so I turn off the water, peel of my t-shirt and boxers then get into the water. The warm water was welcoming and soothing. I give a relaxed sigh and close my eyes.
Eek, I haven't updated this in awhile! I hope the wait was worth it! I kept the old chapter title from when this was 'Story of My Life' because it sounded cool, so I hope you do too.
Anyways, have a wonderful day my lovelies!
