Molly rifled through her anime discs. Nothing looked interesting. She thought about what she had said to Nicole about wanting Justin out of her life and whether it was true. She looked at one of the blond girly men on one of the DVDs, and decided maybe it wasn’t.

The stairs to her bedroom creaked slightly, and the air smelled stale. Her bed waited for her, soft and inviting, but she went to the bathroom instead, to look at her hair. Maybe it wasn’t as nice as she thought, and that’s why Justin hadn’t noticed.

No it was. She watched it shimmer in the light, surprised at the different colors that showed when it wasn’t fluff ball mousy brown. She looked up to study her face. What kind of a face would a girl have to be with Justin?

She planted her hands on the counter then turned around to lean against it, away from the mirrors, but towards other mirrors on the closet door. Mirrors everywhere. How did Justin feel when surrounded by mirrors? What was it like for everyone to think you were beautiful?

An image came to her mind, of a small blond boy, and red fingernails threaded through his hair. Grabbing it. She pushed off the counter and slammed her hands against it as she fell again. After something like that, wouldn’t being beautiful be a bit scary?

She thought back to those years that seemed disproportionately important. To that day he’d leaned over and seen her manga. She’d been hiding in a sweatshirt so big a quarterback would have found it roomy. She knew something about hiding anything you thought would draw attention. What did you do if it was your face? If your face was so stunningly beautiful it’s all people saw?

An image of her slamming her face into a rock made her smile and realize she was much more of a coward than Justin. She thought about what Nicole said. Something about how he might just be afraid?

She flopped on the bed and stared up at the spackled white texture. She searched for patterns in it. There a face, there a dog. Justin had never acted like that. She thought up to the preceding moments and analyzed what had been different about them. She saw Nicole berating him over his hair, saw herself complimenting him. Saw herself with her done up hair, saw herself with makeup, coming just to see him, smiling at him.

When had whatever she felt for him changed to sexual interest? Maybe that scared him. She sat up and rubbed her temples. She ran through a dozen scenarios in her head, and began to see that whenever Justin was comfortable, someone seemed to be insulting or teasing him. She wondered what the woman who abused him, though he hadn’t put it in those words, was like. It had sounded almost loving. Was that how he felt it was? Then why did he seem so afraid?

No, afraid wasn’t it. And Molly was getting tired of running circles in her mind.
