Pheobe [2]

Pheobe walked up to her room sore, fron the beating she just got for no reason. She hated Max, it's not like she ever did anything bad to him. After the first few times of being beat she tried thinking of happy/funny things to get her through it. This time her thoughts were of Leo. She couldn't help herself from thinking about Leo.

She started working on her homework when her mom came in her room. "Hi, there's someone on the phone for you." She handed Pheobe the phone. "Hi?"

"Hey Pheobe it's me, Leo."

"Oh, hi."

"I forgot to tell you that tomorrow for the band, don't wear long sleeves. The guys would think it's odd and the gradge gets like a million degrees."

"Ok, thanks."

For a few seconds there was an akward silence. They both just sat at each end of the phone, thinking but not saying.

"Well...I guess i'll see you tomorrow." Leo finaly broke the silence.

"Yup, bye."

"Bye."

They hung up at the same time. Before Pheobe went downstairs she changed into sort sleeves becasue she was so hot. She left her room and walked down the stairs. Max was watching a baseball game and her mom was making supper. A surprise, her mom was accualy home. Pheobe put the phone on the counter and her mom looked up.

"Hey, how was sc-" Her mom stopped talking. "What happened to you? You have bruses all over your arms!" Her mom looked at the new bruses Max had given her earlyer.

"Max hit me."

"Pheobe! Didn't I tell you I didn't want to hear you make things up like that any more?!"

"But Mom!"

Max walked in. "Max you didn't to that did you?"

"No, why would I do that? I would never hurt Pheobe." He walked behind Pheobe giving her a big hug. She rolled her eyes and winced, he was putting preasure on her bruses.

****unimportant dinner/sleeping********

Pheobe awoke to her alarm at 5:20. She got out of bed and put on her favorite short sleeve shirt and a pair of jeans. She looked through her dresser until she found some foundation, after her first beating from Max she found out it was good for covering up bruses. She applyed it all over her arms.

She grabbed a piece of toast and walked out of the door, trying to get out before she saw Max. She stood at the end of her driveway waiting for the bus. Just as she saw the bus coming she thought, "Damn, i should have bought the rest of the bottle foundation!"
