Sounds of birds chirping. I open my eyes adjusting to the bright rays of sunlight shining through the window. i try getting up but then feel a sharp pain shot through my abdomen. I groan and slowly get up. Why the fuck do I have to get my periods right now.

I walk towards my little backpack and grab a tampon and walk into the bathroom. I stripped off my clothes. And when I turned in the mirror I stared at myself with disgust. My thigh looked disgusting it looked blue almost as if it was rotten, I looked so pale and lifeless I looked like the walking dead. i slowly looked up and my breathing hitched at my stomach that's covered in black and blue bruises. I just stand there trying my best not to throw up.

I sigh and enter the bathtub. I feel it up with steaming hot water and slowly get into the tub. I hiss at the burning sensation against my wounds but it relaxed my muscles slightly. I quickly finish up and wrap a towel around me while I walk out of the bathroom, as I was sitting on my bed I hear a knock at the door "Isabela are you there its me Lindsey" I quickly grab my sweatpants. Throw them on and put my hoodie on I walk to the door and open it "Hey sweetie I just came here to drop some of my clothes for you figured you'd need a change of outfits" she says.

"T-Thank you ma'am" I say looking down. I didn't stutter that much. Baby steps.

"Hey what did I tell you about calling me that, you really make me sound old." She says playfully annoyed.

"I mean look at me" she says twirling herself. "We practically look like twins"she says in a 'duh' tone. I give her a small smile. And she squeaks.

"You've the most beautiful smile even though it was just a little smile it's still so pretty" she squeals excitedly.

"Ok uhmm it's almost 9am and your family will be here soon get ready you have 30mins and meet me downstairs okay".she says while glancing at her watch.

I nod and take the clothes she brought me. A brownish tank top and pair of brown sweatpants. I put on the clothes and realise my bruises on my tummy are visible I quickly go to my backpack and grab an oversized brown plaid button shirt and put it over my shoulders. I look in the mirror and shrug my shoulders. Atleast its not visible anymore.

I have a great fashion sense.

Damn right we do.

New me, new life, new beginning.. i can do this. Lets get this show on road.

I quickly unbraid my hair and allow my long brown thick curls to rest on my shoulders and put on some lipgloss that I stole from ma'ams room.

It's 9:10 oh no I'm late I'm definitely gonna get a punishment for this. I quickly get up and fall to the ground face first.due to me standing up too quickly, I harshly bite my tongue holding back a scream, I fell on my tummy and hurt my ribs. I try my best to hold the tears in. I slowly get up and grab my sneakers looking for painkillers and see I only have one left. I sigh deeply and decide that, I'll keep the last one because I might need it more than I need it now. I take deep breaths and blink away my tears. I grab my things and head downstairs. "There you are I was about to come and get you". Lindsey says.
