100 words
She didn't like Paige's sympathy too much, so it was only natural that she hid the blue bruises under her jacket.
Paige knew how broken her home life was, and she was always mothering her, always asking her what she could do to help. Paige didn't like to hear there wasn't much she could do.
She couldn't save Alex from the drunken brawls that look place at her house, the ones that left her with bruises when she tried to protect her mother. Paige helped her forget all the bullshit. She just needed Paige to lend her some normalcy.
