When I woke up, the nurse asked me what happened.

Why I have...these.

I didn't tell on you.

Or my mum. Or that man.

I told her I got into a silly accident a few weeks ago and these are just the remaining bruises from the impact. I told her that I'm healing.

That's a lie. That's the biggest lie out of everything I told her.

She didn't question it, though told me she didn't think I was healing at all.

I think so too.
