Chapter 27

• Jaselyn's POV
• It takes a minute for me to collect myself. I get up from the floor and wipe my tears, hissing at the sting as my hands come in contact with my cheeks.
• I take a deep breath and pick up the clothes from the floor. I walk into the bathroom and change into them. The clothes are uncomfortable and they make me feel exposed. I take a look in the mirror to inspect the damage on my face. My cheeks are swollen as I had feared, the redness has started turning a dark purple color. Thankfully, the slight heat didn't cause any damage but it's only because I gave in quickly. The slit on my bottom lip is visible and swollen with dried blood on it. My eyes are red and puffy with my hair in disarray. I looked like a total mess and I felt like shit as well.
