When The Lights Go Down

Bruises

Bailey's POV

I stood there in the Pavilion staring at my phone waiting for Sam to reply. Where was he? This isn't like him to keep me waiting. Suddenly I am grabbed from behind, the strong hand pulls me back and I slam against the pavilions brick wall hitting my head, I am immediately greeted with a a fiery pain in my head, once my eyes refocus after the blow I see my attacker, Jake...I struggle against him and it seems to amuse him...

Bailey's Inner Monologue
Wait a minute....this already happened...didn't it? Right about now he will backhand me...OUCH...see...told ya...ok so I'm dreaming? Fantastic so all I need to do is..NO DON'T BITE HIM...ugh tried to warn you...eeerr..me *shrugs* This dream is rapidly becoming confusing...getting hard to breathe...ugh get your hands off of me you asshole...just wait...Sam will be here in like 2 seconds and then you will be sorry...1....2....where is he?? He should be here...OHMYGOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

*B jerks awake*

(Nick) *tightens arm around B* bad dream?

(Bailey) ugh,reliving a nightmare only this time noone showed up to save me...ouch *grabs head*

(Nick) head still hurt?

(Bailey) yes...

*Nick leans down and kisses the top of B's head*

(Nick) hop up and I'll go get you some Tylenol

(Bailey) no, Tylenol can wait *snuggles deep into Nicks shoulder*

*Nick chuckles*

(Bailey) This is nice

(Nick) my armpit? Thanks I try *smile*

(Bailey) I meant waking up without the threats of physical harm from Mom...but the armpit is nice too *giggles*

(Nick) see, now if you homeschool you can do this everyday 

(Bailey) *groans* give it up

(Nick) s'worth a shot

*B hops up and runs to the bathroom*

(Nick) *walks to the bathroom door* you alright?

(Bailey) just putting bladder function off til the very last second again

(Nick) *snickers* you are such a toddler

(Bailey) OH MY GOD

(Nick) what?

*B opens the door*

(Bailey) Look! 

*B Points to the now obvious bruising on the sides of her face, around her mouth and neck*

(Nick) wow, you look like crap

(Bailey) coming from anyone else that would really hurt....but I know right?

*Nick puts his hand up to B's chin and inspects the damage*

(Nick) ugh, is it Illegal to go to a hospital and start beating on a coma patient?

(Bailey) uhhhhhh....not sure if there is precedence for that, but I'm sure its frowned upon

*A frustrated growl comes from Nick's throat*

(Bailey) *grabs Nick's hand* lets go get something to eat

*Nick nods and they walk downstairs, Joe and Kevin are standing at the kitchen counter pouring some cereal*

(Joe) Hey Monkey, want some cereal

(Bailey) crunchberries please

(Joe) we don't have any
