"Ow!"Winona shrieked."What’s wrong with you?That hurt!If you don’t want to do it,then don’t touch me!"
She suddenly recoiled in mock pain,pulling her leg away and kicking me hard under the chin.
"Oh—I'm so sorry!"she said sweetly,hands fluttering in fake distress."I forgot I was blind.I couldn’t see where I was kicking.Did I hurt you?"
Her kick knocked me backward and the back of my head slammed into the sharp edge of the cabinet.
My vision dimmed instantly.A high-pitched ringing filled my ears.
The sharp,metallic scent of blood hit my nose.I reached behind my head and felt something warm and wet.My fingers came away slick with blood.
Fighting against the dizziness,I pulled myself upright,using the cabinet for support.
I could feel the blood trickling down the back of my neck,soaking through the collar of my shirt.
Lennon did not move an inch.Not even a glance in my direction.
"Lennon…"I whispered his name.My voice trembled with pain and disbelief.
"Quit playing the victim,"he replied coldly."Winona barely touched you."
Winona stepped behind him and smirked at me,satisfied.
