I Left My Heart in Cheshire
Chapter 10

I woke up to the sunlight pouring in through my window. I lazily rolled over when I felt a sharp pain shoot through my left cheek. It stopped me in my tracks as I reached up to touch the swollen skin on my cheek. I got up as quickly as I could and walked over to the full length mirror in my room to see what it looked like.

I let out a short gasp as I saw what my face looked like. The skin on my left cheek was purple and had swollen up to the size of a tangerine. I couldn't believve it,

"How am I going to hide this..."
I whispered to myself, but was quickly interrupted by a knock on my door. I jumped into bed and pulled the sheets up over my face to try and hide the wound.

"Come in!" I called out in my rhaspy morning voice.
My mother walked in and started speaking to me really quickly,

"Hey sweetie, Tom and I are going out for the day, so we left you some money for food and a little bit extra if you'd like to go shopping or something. You should invite Harry! I'm sure you guys would have a great day together!"

"Thanks mom, have a good day." I mumbled back. I heard her let out a little huff, but she didn't comment on my non-responsiveness. 

"I love you, hun." She called out as I heard her get up off my bed to exit my room.

"I love you too!" I called back with over-enthusiasm to make her happy. I heard her laugh a bit as she made her way down the stairs and it made me smile. 

As soon as I knew my mom wasn't near me anymore, I let out a huge sigh. I didn't want to go anywhere today, but I knew both my mom and Tony would get suspicious if I didn't use any of the money they left because they both know I love to shop and buy stuff, so I got up and walked to my bathroom as I heard the front door shut so I knew they weren't home anymore.

I turned on the hot water and stepped into the shower, allowing the steam and warmth to penetrate my skin and relax my whole body, making me feel a lot better. I washed my hair and my body, then got out of the shower and dried off, trying to avoid my gastly reflection in the mirror. 

I made my way back to my room and got dressed in a pair of light blue jeans and a crewneck shirt from H&M with a big cassette tape on it. Now, to try and hide my face. I grabbed all the makeup I owned and made my way back to the bathroom to use the huge mirror. 

First, foundation. I applied so much that it almost covered the whole bruise, but it wouldn't be that simple to hide it. Even under the thick makeup, you could still see the tint of purple, so next, I applied more and more powder until there was almost no purple left. Then I did my usual eye makeup, just mascara with a thin line of liquid-liner and I felt okay with my appearance. Just as I was adding the finishing touched to myself, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I ignored it and went downstairs and made my way to the kitchen where I found a hundred dollar bill with another 50$ on top of it. I couldn't believe it, they actually left this much money for me? Maybe Tom was using it to apologize or something...

I finally pulled out my phone to check who had texted me, and I found myself smiling when I opened it to find it had been Harry.

Hey Amy, your mom said that you weren't doing anything today, and that we should hang out, haha! Let's go out for lunch and shop for a bit, yeah? -Harry xx

I replied quickly,

Yeah for sure, Harry! How does 12 sound? Let's go to Starbucks then we can walk over to the mall - Amy xx

Sounds great, see you then love! -Harry xx

I could tell this was going to be an interesting afternoon.
