Angels P.O.V:
I couldn't see anything. Darkness filled my eyes, blinding me from the world. Then the pain started. Everything hurt, it was like my entire skin was throbbing, trying to move back into a comfortable position. Opening my eyes, my eyesight wavered around the streets. I didn't know how long I blacked out but my guess was awhile. Most stores had a closed sign on them and the block was deserted. A grown escaped my mouth as I tried to sit up.
My hand shook as I pushed on the ground to raise my head only to collapse as a headache appeared. Squeezing my brain to the point where I wished I could pass out again. Tears escaped my eyes, falling again and again, pouring out. A sob racked my body as I laid on the floor. I felt dead, like a broken toy that's about to be thrown out.
I stayed that way for who knows how long. You could still see the moon in the sky, watching me. A wave of nausea passed through my stomach and I suddenly had the urge to move. I didn't want to be in this area anymore. Pushing my self up, I stumbled but I somehow made it to a standing position with my back still leaning on the wall. Then pausing for just a secound so the throbbing pain in my head would slow down. I leaned my head against my arm, which was currently holding on to the wall for dear life.
I lifted my head to start moving, only to see tears, mascara, and a touch of blood wiped on my arm. I felt sick again. Closing my eyes, I tried to get my stomach to stop turning. And here I thought today was a good day, the best day ever even, and now this happened. It could be worse I guess. Lifting my head, I looked around. I staggered forward to grab my bag. My hand still touching the wall for balance. The extra weight on my shoulder, felt like a million pounds. I wish Mimi or Collins was here, I thought as I stumbled down the sidewalk.
I must've looked odd. People might think I'm drunk, but I didn't care, I just don't want to pass through this area again. I never want to be in this street, or near these stores. I just want to forget this happened. I turned corner after corner, in a daze till I saw my house. I walked slightly faster, trying to get inside.
The house looked exactly the same as I left it, same flowers lining the front, same oak door, same house. But the house changed after my first fight with my Mom. I called it my home, but it felt nothing like a home. It was just a building that I just temporarily live in. That was it.
The door creaked open as I pulled the door open . I closed my eyes as if trying to send signals from my brain to keep my parents asleep. Once I closed it, I dropped my bag on the floor in my room upstairs, thankful of the loss of weight. I made my way to the bathroom and cringed when I saw my face.
My eyes had dark circles under them that blended in with the nearly black bruise next to it. Dried blood from my nose covered my lips and chin. It most have also gotten on my clothes or I had other cuts to worry about. Scratch marks where randomly placed on my skin along with bruises. If this was what my face looked like, I didn't think I have the stomach to see what my chest looks like. That was where most of the pain was.
I squished up my face as I lifted up my shirt. A giant black bruise covered my skin. I've never seen a black bruise before, I thought. Small cuts joined the bruise and I gulped. It looked bad to say the least. I closed my eyes as I took of my clothes, trying to not any more of the other damage on my body.
I turned on the water of the shower then went to grab a towel. I jumped in the water and tried to forget about what happened. I don't think I'll be able to go to school tomorrow, I thought.
Collins P.O.V:
I was ecstatic to see Angel again. I kept on thinking about him all day yesterday and how I was going to get to see him today at school.
Once I got inside the building, I immediately looked around for him, trying to see if he was there at his locker. No one was there so I decided I'll wait for him. Time passed as I waited. Excitement dissolved as the clock ticked and the bell was about to ring. He probably was just running late I thought as I made my way to my first period.
Eventually lunch came around and I was practically falling out of my seat for the bell to ring. When it eventually did, I was the first one out the door and into the cafeteria. I sat down at our usual table and watched how the group slowly appeared except for Angel. I frowned as I turned to Mimi.
"Where's Angel?" She turned away from Rodger and joined me in my frown.
"I don't know, he didn't mention staying home when I talked to him yesterday" she thought for a second before adding "he might be sick." I nodded my head and thought for a little bit. Today, I'll collect his homework from the teachers and use, bringing it to him as an excuse to see him. I just hope he gets better soon.
AN: okay sorry of this chapter was disappointing but I thought it was important for the storyline. Thank you so much for the comments, they really mean a lot!
