I stand still for a moment, alone for the first time in hours. I am accutely aware of Teva on the other side of the door. I wonder what he's thinking right now, what I'm thinking. My fingers brush over the door and for a moment I want to open it, ask him to join me. I don't want to be alone. I don't even know if I can get my clothes off. My chest feels like it's got a massive hole in it and the morphling hasn't had time to kick in and help yet. I turn away from the door to look in the mirror again, wincing slightly at what I see: a bruise, big and purple has formed on my cheek where I bit the inside and Sam slapped me. With a sigh I begin to tug my sweater over my head, having to stop halfway when pain makes my head spin. I can't even tell where it's coming from anymore; it just hurts all over. I'm not brave like Teva when it comes to pain. Tate would say I'm not an idiot. I have to psyche myself up to pull my sweater off the rest of the way. I stiffle a cry when I see what my chest looks like. It's nearly one big mass of purple and black. I turn on the water to make a noise louder than the stiffled hisses of pain that come out the more I move. Turning back to the mirror, I probe my chest, feeling over my ribs softly, one by one. I knew which one it was. I could feel it when it snapped but when my fingers touch it the world spins for a moment. My eyes water mercilessly and I stumble forwards, barely catching myself on the bathroom counter. My gaze falls on my neck, something else I didn't really want to see. Sam's hands are imprinted into my neck, angry and purple. I'm sure it's a miracle I'm not dead but at the moment I don't care. The wish comes back, raw and angry as I stare at myself. I wish that I was. How can Teva possibly actually love me? I must have gone crazy from the pain. Bitterly I tug off the rest of my clothing and step into the shower, leaning against the tiled wall to stay standing. The hot water washes over me, biting and angry. Like Sam. I bit him. He didn't like that. It's why he slapped me. I shut my eyes, sticking my face right into the spray to get the memory out but it refuses to budge. |
