Summary
He's not sure how long he stands in the bathroom after getting up, staring at the mirror. His cheek and jaw resemble a Jackson Pollock painting, a swirling canvas of black and blue and purple. There's a matching spot on his ribs, aching and pulling every time he moves. He skims his fingertips along his jaw, flinching at the sting before stepping back. He dreads going to the park, for a moment wishes he was a normal person with the option of calling in but it would be useless. These marks aren't going to go away any time soon.
Title taken from Giving In by Adema.
