~Evan's POV~

I had a raging bruise from hell.

I sighed and stared at my reflection in the school boy's bathroom mirror. To avoid running into my mother, I had left home early and arrived a full hour before classes started. Now, I was examining the dark purple bruise on my cheekbone, compliments of Ricky. It wasn't like it was the only bruise that I had on my face. In fact I have another on the corner of my right eye and my bottom lip sported a very unhealthy cut on the far left corner. Still, the large bruise on my cheek was the most dominant and evident.

I winched when I ran a hand through my hair, feeling a slight bump. Great. No wonder my head has been throbbing this whole time, the headache getting worse by the hour. Though I haven't seen him since last night, I was certain that Paul wasn't fairing any better. In fact, he had more bruises than I did.

After dragging him out the house party that had suddenly turned into a huge brawl, we had taken Shelly to the hospital to be examined. Thankfully the doctor said that she didn't lose her baby but she should stay overnight just in case there were any signs of complications. From what the doctor had told us, she was suffering from malnutrition because of a very poor diet. Sadly, it didn't surprise me. Shelly wasn't taking proper care of herself like she should.

I walked out the bathroom, frowning as my vision blurred for a split second. I shook my head and blinked several times before everything was in focus again. Still, I felt odd. I rubbed my eyes tiredly and sighed. God I felt so tired. It would seem that Shelly wasn't the only one suffering from something. When was the last time I had a decent sleep? Certainly not last night. I had only manage to sleep two hours.

"Oh my God! Evan, what happened to you!?"

I looked up to see Annie rushing to me, concern etched on her delicate features. I tried to smile to reassure her but I couldn't help but wince when I felt the sting of the cut on my bottom lip. Sliding my tongue over the small wound, I tasted the rusty iron taste of blood.

"Where you jumped or something?" Annie snapped, "who did it? Oh my god." Her eyes widened. "Does Derek know about this? Does he know who did it?"

I placed my hands on her shoulders and gently shook her. "Annie, I'm fine, and no, Derek doesn't know."

"What? Why? Wait, why isn't he with you?" She glanced around the filling hall way, "where is he?" To her, it was odd for Derek not to be by my side. We were always together.
