Thx for the reviews :) :P

Suspicion

When Carla woke up she could feel Frank's heavy form wrapped around her. Her whole body was covered in a dull ache and she felt like going to sleep again but she knew she couldn't.

She peeled Frank's arm away from her chest and stood up. She limped towards the clothes she had laid out over a chair and slowly started to put them on, whenever she moved her arm and unimaginable wave of agony washed over her, bringing tears to her eyes.

When it came to her make up even she was surprised by the extent of her injuries, her whole cheek was a bruise that would no way be able to be fully covered by make up, she had washed most of the blood out of her hair the night before but as she brushed her hair she was still finding bunches of hair covered in blood.

When she tenderly inspected her arm she saw what shocked her the most, her skin had literally turned into a bruise, her pale skin turned black and purple by that monster.

She could hardly move her arm without being in pain and she was very tempted to just stay at home today, it would be easier than going into work and that way no one could see what Frank had done to her.

She knew she couldn't though, and after having one last look at herself in the mirror, convinced she had covered her injuries as much as she could, she started the quick walk to work.

Carla had kept her head down all day, not looking up in fear of someone noticing her bruised face. Her arm was in agony, it was her left arm so she could still write but any movement would make it ten times worse.

She looked up at the clock, it was 3pm, 2 more hours to go until the workers went home, and about 5 more hours until she was going home. She was going to spend as long as possible in the Factory, doing work that didn't need doing for weeks, she would do almost anything to avoid going home.

Carla looked at her arm, it had swollen up since the morning and she was getting a bit worried. She knew she should go up to the hospital and get it treated, and she would, but she was sure somewhere there would notice her other injuries and would realise the truth.

"Hey, how are you today?" Carla sighed as she heard Rob's voice.

Without turning round to face him she said, "Fine, what about you?"

"Good, what are you doing?" Rob asked, looking over her shoulder.

"Work, what do you think?" Carla snapped.

"No need to bite my head off, I was just asking?" Rob said.

"I know, I'm sorry, but I'm really busy so I'll talk to you later." Carla said.

"See you later then." Rob said, slowly walking out of the office. He turned to look at his sister and saw her looking his way, he also saw a huge bruise on her cheek.

Carla spun her head round, had Rob seen it, he hadn't, had he? If he had he would have been straight back in the office like a shot, wouldn't he? Carla decided to just push these thoughts out of her head, even if he had seen the bruise there was no way he could know that it was Frank that did it to her, was there?

Rob was propped up at the bar with Michelle and Ciaran but he wasn't really listening to their conversation, he was worried about carla. He had seen that bruise and was wondering where she got it.

It couldn't have been when she slipped over last night, could it? Rob wasn't even sure he believed his sister, he could usually tell when someone was lying but he always found it that bit harder with his sister, she had always been good at hiding her emotions, ever since they were kids.

Ciaran went somewhere leaving Rob and Michelle at the bar, he decided to ask her what she thought.

"Chelle, I went to see Carla at the factory today." Rob said.

"Yeah, and?" Michelle said.

"Well, she had this massive bruise on her face." Rob explained.

"Ouch, what did she do?" Michelle asked.

"I don't know, she had obviously tried to cover it with make up but you could still see it." Rob said.

"Did you ask her what she did?" Michelle said.

"No, we had a converstaion in the office when she wuldn't look at me, then when I was leaving I looked back and saw it." Rob said.

"I get that you're worried and stuff but, why are you telling me?" Michelle asked.

"Well, I was just thinking, you don't think that, nah, never mind." Rob sighed.

"I don't think what?" Michelle asked.

"You don't think Frank did it to her, do you?" Rob asked.

Michelle had to stop herself laughing.

"What's so funny?" Rob asked.

"Rob, we both know Carla, and she wouldn't ever let anyone knock her about, would she?" Michelle said.

"Nah, I guess not." Rob sighed, but he still had this suspicion that something was not right.

Plz review thx :) :P
