She brushed the makeup slowly in a circle across her sunken cheek. She avoided meeting the cold shining eyes of her reflection. Still she felt them staring at her, accusing her of a million crimes. Her hand spasmed roughly. The brush dropped down. It clattered in the sink. Her eyes filled up with tears. 

She doubled over, trying not to cry, trying not to think, anything not to feel.

"Shit." It didn't work.

The truth glared at her, irresistible, powerful, unable to control. She did not want to know this.

Brian had been over there the night before. It had been perfect, everything she'd never had, yet she had been afraid. He had been kind. Yet, she had feared that he would force things she didn't want to happen. He always asked permission, always made sure she was okay with what was happening. He was the kindest man she had ever been with, and she turned away.

Now she began to remember things purposefully forgotten. She paced, restless, burnt out. Grabbing the shower door, she roughly slammed it shut. SHHHHHK BANG!

"HOW MUCH MORE CAN I TAKE FROM YOU?" No answers from on high or down low. Silence.

She crumpled to the floor. Time passed over her without real measure. Still she cried silently over wounds of the past, forgotten and remembered again. Unhealed.

And then she just stopped crying. She picked herself up off of the floor. She wiped her face and gently washed off her makeup. Quietly, she walked out of the room.
