Just The Way You Are
Marcus raises his hand at Blake but he nods it off.
"Blake, what's-"
He lifts his head, looking at me and my eyes widen.
A huge purple bruise covers his left cheek, right under his eye. A small red cut on his bottom lip.
"Holy crap! Blake, what happened?" I rush over to him, lightly grabbing his chin.
I turn his cheek towards me to inspect it, softly running my fingers along the purple skin. He slightly flinches. His eyes meet mine, mine being full of worry.
"I'm fine." He mumbles, jerking his head from my hold.
