The Truth Behind a Smile #27

"Let's watch a movie," I suggested.
"Of course."
"You don't want to?"
"Anything so I can be with you." I smiled. Matt sat down and pulled me onto his lap. Matt started playing The Blind Side. I knew Matt wasn't paying much attention but I tried to. Tried to. I was too self conscious. Matt, I knew, was only staring at me. Thankfully he couldn't see my face. But eventually my mind drifted away and I fell asleep in his arms. However long later, I felt a shake.
"Wake up, Macy." I groaned and reluctantly opened my eyes.
"What time is it?" I mumbled.
"2 a.m." I jumped up, suddenly wide awake. Unless my dad was drunk and had passed out, he'd be up and waiting for me. Oh crap oh crap OH CRAP! I was dead, though I hoped not literally.
"I have to go!"
"Why, baby?"
"Matt, my dad's already gonna pound me into the ground!" I rapidly started searching for my keys but I couldn't find them. I glanced at my phone...50 unread texts. I opened one. BIG MISTAKE...

Macy, where the heck are you? Get your butt home NOW or you'll be dead. I mean it!

"Matt, where are my keys?"
"Macy, stay for the night. It's not safe to drive this early or late in the morning."
"I have to get home."
"I'll drive you then."
"I have my own car. Now where are my freakin keys?!" I shouted.
"In the kitchen. Gosh, calm down. I did not know you got so hyper active and controlling at night." Matt quickly retrieved my keys for me and I headed out. I immediately texted my dad saying I was coming home. Too bad for me I didn't remember what my excuse was. I slowly opened the door and I felt a blow to my cheek, the same one the got bruised before. I saw stars flash before me. I felt another kick to the stomach, again the same place as last time. My dad has some pretty good aim.
"HOW DARE YOU?! I TEXTED YOU 50 TIMES AND STAYED UP BUT YOU NEVER SHOWED! DO YOU HONESTLY KNOW HOW THAT FEELS?! YOU COULD'VE DEAD FOR ALL I KNEW!"
"Sorry, I fell asleep by accident."
"Where? I think you said you were at the library or going shopping. Did you fall asleep on one of those mattresses at the mattress store cause i'm pretty sure they don't allow that. You would've been arrested."
"No, Dad, I was at Matt's. I accidentally fell asleep and so did he."
"Not on each other hope."
"No," I lied. I received another punch to the face for that one. I heard a little crack coming from my nose and then a warm sensation. But I was too out of it already. I felt one more kick to the shins before everything faded from focus. Something was severely from with my dad. And I knew it had nothing to do with me dating Matt. It was something else, something I needed to find out.
