Chapter 2: hiding the pain
Amy and Jeff just got finished fighting in their hotel room. This time the fight ended violently. Amy laid on the floor crying,clutching her arm.
She stood up and went into the bathroom to try and cover up what had happened.
"This is hopeless." she muttered throwing the compact powder into the sink.
there was a knock at the door. "What." Amy yells loud still in the bathroom.
"Amy, it's Trish can I come in?" Her best friend Trish asked
"Yeah sure." Amy says pulling her hair back in a ponytail and putting her sunglasses on.
Trish comes in and sits on the bed. "Why the hell are you wearing sunglasses indoors?"
"Because I was ready to leave." Amy says
"Oh well lets talk for awhile or go to lunch." Trish says
"fine let's stay here." Amy says sitting on the bed next to trish.
"So what have you been up to girl?" Trish asks smacking Amy's arm playfully.
"Ow." Amy says cluctching her arm.
"Whats wrong?" Trish asks lifting up the sleeve from Amy's shirt.
"nothing." Amy says.
"Where did you get that bruise?" Trish asks.
"nowhere." Amy says covering it back up.
"Don't try that Ame for real where did it come from?" Trish asks.
"promise to keep this a secret?" Amy asks.
"yeah." Trish says.
"Jeff did it this morning."Amy says starting to cry.
"Amy you gotta tell someone." Trish says while hugging her.
"I know but I can't and neither can you." Amy says pulling back.
"Alright but if it happens again." Trish says.
"Yeah." Amy says.
"Did he hit your face too?" Trish asks grabbing the glasses.
"Yeah." Amy says lowering her head.
"You didnt do anything wrong so don't act like you did." Trish says lifting up Amy's face.
"I guess your right." She says with a fake smile.
"Come on let's go to the arena." Trish says standing up and motioning for Amy to follow.
When they arrive at the arena Amy wants to avoid Matt because he would want to know also what happened.
She walks into the locker room thinking that he isn't in there but he is.
"Hey Amy." Matt says hugging her.
"Hi Matt." Amy says worried he would ask about the bruises.
"Whoa look at that shinner. What happened?" Matt asks touching around her eye softly.
"Nothing at all." Amy says pulling away from him.
"Don't tell me nothing Amy something happened." Matt says
"Mind your own business Matt." Amy says trying to get him off her back.
"Amy if something happened you can trust me." Matt says rubbing her arm which happens to be the arm with the grab marks.
"Ow." Amy says loud
"What?" Matt asks.
Amy pulls up the sleeve and exposes the bruise.
"Did my brother do that?" Matt asks very concerned.
Amy doesn't say anything she just shakes her head yes.
"I'm gonna kill him for hitting you."Matt says hugging her.
Amy starts crying and lays her head on his shoulder.
