***Bear*** It's been roughly three weeks that have gone by already, and Piper is on the mend, which I couldn't be happier about. It took about three days for the swelling on her face to start to go down. Doc was happy to see that there was no damage done to her eye socket again or her cheek. She did have some nasty bruises, though: both eyes were black and blue, and along with her cheeks, and her lips had several splits in them. They are all healing and looking a lot better each day. She refused to leave the clubhouse or our room. I didn't push her; the only ones she would see were Molly and Doc, along with Bash and Gunner. Anyone else she wouldn't want in the room. Even Joy tried, but Piper wouldn't open the door. Joy and the other girls didn't get mad; they understood why Piper was act
