Excuses [101]

"Don't worry, it's nothing. I just slipped from stairs at Cee's house." I waved a hand in denial. 

I believed my story was enough to assure her. It almost sounded true. After all anyone can get their heads open if they fall from stairs and me being prone to accidents was credible. 

"Katherine" She gave me a serious look and scurried to the dining table where I was sitting. "How is this nothing? Do you even realize it's a head injury? It can get critical." She inspected me from a closer view now that she stood in front of me.

"Did you get it treated?" She pushed my hairs back from the side of my face in an attempt to assess more of that wound but she couldn't since I had the bandage on. 

"Yeah Cee took me to a hospital after I slipped. It was bleeding pretty badly. . ." Before I could finish off my sentence Grace cut me off. 

 "Did you get stitches?" She asked, her eyes piercing.
