The Phrase that Pays
Mo stepped inside the house quietly, not paying much attention to what Raly had last said to her, and hoping she wouldn't wake Jay. Heading towards a bed, she stopped and stared at herself in the bathroom mirror. It looked worn and tired, not that of someone so young. Her bruise had turned a nice mix of blues and purples, and her yellow eyes were bloodshot.
What was she to do? Maureen was torn. Half of her couldn't stay here, she was revolted by the thought of keeping to one place for so long, and returning there day in and day out. But the other side of her longed for a place to stay, a safe place, somewhere warm. This was exactly what she was looking for. And she couldn't even imagine the look of hurt on Jay's face if she told him she wasn't staying.
Mo gripped the edge of the sink, a single hot tear rolled down her cheeck and she quickly wipped it away. This was nothing to get worked up over, you're pathetic Maureen... Pathetic. She told herself as she walked a bed and laid down. But Mo barely had anymore energy to think about these things anymore, she was asleep in mere minutes.
