You can still hear them

The sickening cracks and thuds coming from Shauna's fists hitting her face. You still remember the scene. Lottie, curled up on the ground as she takes punch after punch after kick and all you could do was stand there and watch when every bone in your body wanted to throw yourself on top of her

"She needs to let it out." That's her stupid reason for doing that. God, it made you so utterly mad

Strained and strangled whines leave her bruises and bloody lip as you drag a damp cloth across her cheek. Natalie had helped you transport her into the tub so you could help clean up her wounds and soothe the bruises

Hurts like hell...

You wonder if you've ever heard Lottie's voice so meek before. Doubt so. She's quiet, sure. But never is she the type to show pain in any shape or form

But now there she is, knees pulled up to her chest, left eye nearly swollen shut and blood dried right under her nose where it had been leaking non stop like a loose faucet. Concerned does not even come close to how you felt right now
