My Nerdy Little Secret

Bad mother

2:18pm

Jack stops the car in front of my house, I open the door and grab my dirty clothes from last night "Thanks for the ride and food, oh and a place to sleep and-" I'm cut off by Quinn's hands on my mouth, this makes me blush as I make eye contact with her.

"We get it haha your welcome." She smiles at me and takes her hands off my mouth, a smile and turn around to see my mother standing there, uh oh. Before I could speak she Yanks my rist and stomps to the house, dragging me with her. I hear the car door open and assume it's Quinn so I look at her and shake my head, her yelling at my mom will only make things worse.

She has a hurt look on her face and drops her hands by her side, I make a sour face and look down cause I can't look at her like that. My wrist hurts and I lose my balance making me trip and scrape my knees, mother looks down at me and throws my wrist towards me.

I grab it and rub it, it's red and I can tell it's gonna leave a bruise. "What have I told you! If I ever see you around those two again I will throw you out on the streets!" She slaps my cheek and stomps into the house, I grab my face with one hand and hold onto my wrist with the other.

I can feel the warm tears flow down my face as I curl into a ball on the cold floor. If I'm seen with the twins mother will kick me out who knows what she would do if I told her how I felt about- I choke and wail like a baby.

Justin opens the door and runs to me, while wrapping his arms around me "are you okay? Thid moma do this thoo you?" He asks me, I slap his hand away and I'm ready to shout until I see his face. It's hurt his forehead crunched up and eyes watery, I feel an ache in my chest and look down. I grab his rist gently and look at him with a forced smile.

"I'm sorry little bug, itsy just been a rough day that's all come here." I pull him into a hug and sit there for a while holding his small little body next to mine. " I'm sorry that I'm turning into mom.

The next day 8:45

I wake up and see Justin beside me holding his favorite stuffed bear, his drool waters down his mouth onto my bed. I mess with his hair and go to the restroom, I look in the mirror and see a bruise on my cheek and rist, I groan and look through my makeup back. There's only enough foundation to cover my cheek and even with that you'll still be able to see the bruise.

I look in my wallet and see 50 bucks, yes in fine, I'll just head to the mall and buy some more make-up. I go put on some clothes and sneak out the house, I call an Uber and sit on the curb waiting. My phone vibrates, I check it and see a message from Quinn

Hey you ok?

Yea just heading to the store.

I meant about yesterday,
What happened?

Nothing just got a good yelling
That's all.

Oh ok then 😸.

I put my phone back in my pocket and stand up, the Uber stops in front of me, I get in and tell him to head to the mall. He nods and drives off, I stare outside the window and look at the houses pass by.

When I get to the mall I head to the makeup store and look at all the makeup, I grab foundation and some eye shadows because you can never have too much. When I pick out the ones I want I head to the counter and pay for them, as I head out I hear a familiar voice, Quinn.
