Run

Chapter 4

" Honey, time to get up to go with your brother ," I yawned.

I sat up and looked at my mom, she smiled and kissed my forehead, which was still bruised pretty bad.

Dad said I looked like a carbon copy of mom but she said I looked like a mix of both of them. I had her long auburn brown hair, had her nose, her bow shaped lips, her heart shaped face. But I had dads pale creamy skin, his thick long lashes, and his height. But thankfully I got moms figure but I got a bigger bust line than her and I'm thinner and have slightly wider hips. But my eyes were something all my own, the were violet, I deep bright violet, and if you look harder enough there are flecks of night and sky blue that pop out in them.

" Come on baby, I'll help you cover up the bruising ," I followed my mom into her bathroom and she set me down on the sink, there were still in opened boxes all over the house.

She put cover up on my forehead and sent me on my way.

I went into my room threw on a flowered dress and some flip flops, I brushed my hair and teeth and shuffled down the stairs. I found my brother and my dad in the living room taking stuff out boxes.

" Hey sweetheart, why don't you go eat breakfast in the kitchen with your mom ok ?" I just nodded and headed into the kitchen.

Mom was in the kitchen making pancakes humming rubbing her round tummy, I just hoped that neither of the babies wouldn't turn out like me.

" Hey baby, come get your pancakes, they're blueberry, your favorite so eat up ," she set a plate in front of me and smiled.

I ate slowly savoring the taste of the buttery blueberry pancakes and sweet syrup.

" Do I have to go to school tomorrow?" she gave me a sad smile.

" Baby all your father and I ask of you is to try, ok sweetheart I know it's hard for you but just try ," I swallowed and pushed my plate away and looked down in my lap.

" Ok ," I shuffled out of the kitchen and waited for Tyler.

He was the spitting image of dad, tall broad shoulders, thick blond hair, big green eyes, strong jaw line. But he had moms nose and her lips.

' Hey you ready sis ?' I sighed and nodded took Tyler's big, warm, hand.

' Yeah, I guess so, let's get this over with ,' he smiled and rolled his eyes, adjusted his hearing aid and tugged me forward gently.

Mom kissed us both goodbye and gave me an extra squeeze and dad gave us goodbye hugs and kissed my forehead.

" You'll be fine sweetie ," I sighed and nodded, letting Tyler tug me out side.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be going into town, it was sunny and warm, and town was quiet. It was really peaceful, I would have enjoyed it even more if I wasn't clinging to Tyler for dear life every time someone walked by us.

' Breathe, and relax marg's your ok, you'll be fine, and if anyone says hi just say hi back that's all ,' I swallowed.

' I'm scared Tyler, you know I'm not good talking to people, I'm terrified ,' he put his arm around me and I hugged him as we walked.

' You'll be fine, you just need to learn how to open up a little more and you'll be fine ,' I looked at him.

' You really think so ?' he smiled and kissed the top of my head.

' With out a doubt, what's not to love about you sis ?' I turned bright red and looked away. We walked through different parts of town until we went to a diner for lunch.
