S A V A N N A H

Waking up my whole face aches. I look in the bathroom mirror seeing a faint bruise on my cheek. I brush my teeth and do my morning routine.

"Morning" I smile walking in the kitchen seeing my brother

"Wassup? You sleep good" he says looking a little worried and I nod. "Uh there's cereal and shit here. Take take the day off from school. Okay? I gotta head to work" he says putting on his construction boots

"I don't know" I haven't took a day off from school since I got the flu

"It's not a choice. Relax I'll be back around five" he says sternly and walks out his apartment

Sighing I pick up my phone from the charger seeing a bunch of miss calls and text.

5 miss calls from mom

Mom: Savannah are you okay
Mom: please call me baby. I miss you

Sam😌: I'm passing by Shane's later to come see you

Layla: are you okay? I heard what happened. Call a girl back

Lana: u okay?

Dave❤️: Baby call me when you wake up.

I decided to call my mom first.

"Hello?" I say as she answers

"Baby, are you okay? I heard what happened" sounds like she's been crying

"I'm okay" I say softly

"Where are you?" She says worriedly

"I'm just going to stay at Shane's for a while okay?" My voice cracks. I could feel tears comings

"Baby are you sure?"

"Yes, I can't-I can't come back. I need space" tears slip from my eyes

"Okay, well I'll see you soon" she sounds sad "love you"

"I love you too" I say hanging up the phone and wiping away my tears

Replying back to everyone else except Dave I took out some cereal for my self.

I couldn't see Dave right now. I'm so embarrassed how i cried and broke down in front of him. No one should ever be able to see me like that.

I've worked so hard to build a wall up and keep smiling just for me to break in front of people.

I eat my cereal and watch an episode of criminal minds.

I drift back to sleep trying to get back all the extra hours I missed living at home.

Then I hear someone knocking on the door.

Can a girl get some sleep?

"Hey ma" Dave walks in as I open the door "I brought you a smoothie"
