Pain. I wish I could go numb.
I open my eyes and stare at the ceiling but I can't move. My whole body is throbbing but I manage to get out of bed and make my way to the bathroom. Ryan is still sleeping in bed so I stay quiet. The shower is hot and my body is back and blue. The warm water soothes my pain. I get out and start to ice my body. I am still covered in bruises and have little time left to get ready for work. I dry my hair and start applying makeup. Lots of makeup. The bruises and the red marks covered with makeup. I go to my closet and get out a long sleeve shirt with a turtle neck and jeans. Hopefully it isn't suspicious even though it is June. I grab my keys and quickly run out the door so Ryan doesn't come for another round before I leave. My body is aching but I try to endure. When I walk into the precinct platt greets me with an unwelcoming facial expression. "You do know it's June right." She barks i just give her a smile and reply "well I'm a naturally cold person." As I walk up the stairs I try to hide the fact that it feels like I did a million squats yesterday. Clearly I didn't do a very good job at faking it. "Haley is everything okay. You can barely walk up the stairs" jay says from across the room. "Yeah I'm great, yesterday was leg day at the gym." I rely before sitting in my desk.
Jays perspective
Haley has been acting off recently. I'm not exactly sure what's up but I will find out sooner than later. We don't have any cases today so everyone just hangs out upstairs and finishes paperwork. Haley stands up clearly in pain and from across the room I see something on her arm. "Haley stop moving." Everyone looks at me like Im crazy person. I walk over to Haley who is currently standing in the middle of the room and pick up her arm. "What is this. Haley who did this to you." I say as I point at a large bruise on her arm. As I reach and roll her sweater up her arm I see that it's perfectly fine which confuses me more. "Relax jay it's just a small bruise." Haley walked away but I still think something else is going on.
Haley's point of view
That was close. Good thing I covered up my arms with makeup extra well today. Now I'm just mad. My life is normal. Yesterday was my fault because dinner wasn't ready for him when he got home. Jay will never understand my life. He doesn't know everything anyways. I can never leave Ryan because he loves me too much to let me go.
Today me and jay are on lunch duty. I walk over to his desk and tap twice before saying "let's go get lunch now." He grabbed the keys and we walked silently to the car. He got into the drivers seat and just sat there. "Tell me the truth Haley. What is going on." He looked at me with desperation but I still wasn't going to tell him the truth.
