Chapter 1
Lacie Fitz POV
I reached toward the tub of cover up I kept inside my makeup box. The adjoined bathroom my older sister and I shared was small and had hardly enough room for the shower. I turned and flicked the lock on the pale cream door. No one needed to see what I was about to do. I gingerly tore off the bandages that covered the deep regrets that I hid. The cuts were sealed over now, and what remained were dark purple scabs. I plastered her arms with the makeup like I did every morning and started to drag a brush through my long black locks. I added some makeup on my dark green eyes and turned to open the door
"Lace, almost done in there?" my sister, Rainn called just as the bathroom door opened.
I slipped by my sister and give her an awkward smile, "Good morning."
"Mornin'" she replied, entering the bathroom and shutting the door behind her.
I walked across the hall to my small bedroom. I go he smallest room because I was the middle child. Across from my room was my brothers, Ethan and Jonah's, room and my parents room. Downstairs was Rainn's room. I was unnoticed by my parents most of the time which is partly a good thing. I went over to my dressing table where my favourite purple hat lay. I slipped my hat on and picked up one of my collection of pocket knives and walked downstairs.
My dad sat with my brothers at the kitchen table while my mom cooked her famous blueberry pancakes. I sat beside down across from the twins and started to read my facebook feed.
"Phones away." my mom said, setting the plates on the table.
After a breakfast filled with the boy's chatter, I started to retreat to my room to pick up my bag.
"Where do you think your going?" my mom asked sternly.
"To school." I murmured.
My mother sighed and started to open her mouth.
"Aria," my dad gestured for me to go.
I ran upstairs and knocked into Rainn. I landed face first on the hard wooden floor.
"Oh my god, are you okay Lace?" she asked pulling me up and handing me my bag.
I straightened my clothes, but not before she noticed a hint purple on my wrist.
"What's that?" Rainn asked with an concerned voice.
She reached for my arm and I snatched it away quickly.
"Nothing!" I hoisted my bag over my shoulder and ran out the door.
My phone beeped as I walked up the street towards the school.
'Make up won't hide it forever. Get ready bitch! -A'
