Lucas let out a quiet sigh when Mikey left the room. He finished his own food and put the leftovers away. He then cleaned up the kitchen and went to his room for a moment. He found something comfortable to where; a pair of loose black shorts and a white shirt. He then went into the bathroom to take a shower. Stripping, he stood under the warm water and let it warm his cool skin. He closed his eyes for a moment, lost in thought. When he opened them again, he looked down at his body. Bruises, both old and new, were scatted around on his chest, stomach, sides, and even a few on this legs. He rubbed his shoulder, where a fresher bruise from this morning was. He sighed and felt around on his back, finally finding the long scar that he had received only a few weeks ago. His father had gotten mad, he was also drunk, and pushed Lucas into a mirror. It shattered and as he fell, a piece that had been stuck on the frame but was jutted out, scraped up from just above his hip all the way up to his shoulder. He remembered the pain he'd felt as he sliced threw his skin, the blood pooling from the fresh wound. He'd passed out, but luckily his mom had returned home soon after the even and was able to take him to the hospital. He had to get over one hundred stitches and quite a few staples. Of course they lied about what had happened, saying it was an accident. All of them knew it wasn't though. Shaking his head, he ran his hand down the scar. He still didn't know why his mother hadn't taken him and left after that. It confused him but he never questioned her, figuring there had to be some good reason. Clearing his thoughts, he finally washed and got out of the shower. He dried and changed into the clothes he had picked out. Only a couple bruises were visible, but the rest of them, and the scar, were all hidden. His hair still a little wet, but not dripping, he walked out into the living room, sitting on the couch.
