I swear I didn't want to
And I swear I didn't know
That things like this could happen
To a seventeen year old

As quietly as she could - so as to disturb as few sleeping people as possible - she ducked into the bathroom, and the shower was running moments later. A long while later, she emerged in a cloud of steam, and padded back into her bedroom to tie her hair back and pull on a pair of soft yellow lounging pants and a roomy grey hoodie - the long sleeves hiding the bruises on her wrists and a few stray wisps of hair that had escaped partially obscured the ugly coloring that marred the right side of her face. Because it was still early and this was usually one of the quietest times in the house, she slipped from her room and into the kitchen - her mouth was so dry, she just needed a glass of water, and she had a couple advil in hand to wash down as well.
