Kim's POV
"Hey Jack." I said.
"Oh, hey Kim." He replied.
"You ready for the big math test?" I asked.
"Not at all." he replied.
"Well, I'm not ready either." I said.
We both nodded, and made our way to class.
"Yes, a substitute." Jack said.
"What's their name?" I asked.
"Mr. Saunders." He replied.
No, it could just be a coincidence. Then he turned around, blonde hair, blue eyes.
I felt myself turn pale.
"Kim, Kim!" Jack said.
"You're pale; I need to get you to the nurse." He said.
He walked me to the nurse's office.
"N-nurse Debra, I really need to call my parents." I said.
"Okay, Kim." She said.
She got up and left the office.
I dialed the number.
"Hello?"
"Agent Smith, he's here…" I said.
"Who?"
"My stepfather." I replied
"Okay, we'll have you relocated-"
"No, I don't want to leave, he's supposed to be in jail…for murder." I said.
"Okay, well we'll have an agent come watch over you." Agent Smith said.
"Thank you." I said.
"The Agent's name is Melanie Hendrix, she's posing as a teacher, and she'll be close by if you're in trouble." He informed.
"Okay, Bye mom!" I said.
"Wha-?" he said, right before I hung up.
"What did she say?" Nurse Debra asked.
"She said, I should watch what I eat." I lied; hopefully she didn't notice I was lying.
"So, are you okay?" he asked.
"Y-yeah." I replied.
"You're lying." He said.
"W-what?" I asked trying to act shocked.
"Kim, you're a bad liar, and if you aren't lying, then look me straight in the eyes, and say you're okay, because I'm only concerned for your well being." He said.
Great, I can't look into those Chocolate brown eyes I thought.
I looked into his eyes and immediately got lost.
I didn't say a word; I just stood there looking him in the eyes.
For a second, he leaned closer, and closer, and our lips were only centimeters a part.
"Anderson, Crawford, get back to class." Mr. Squires commanded.
We walked back to class, in awkward silence.
"Ms. Crawford, Are You Feeling better?" he asked.
"Yeah…" I lied.
Class was dreadful having to sit in the same room, as that monster.
FLASHBACK: I never wanted this, I don't deserve this.
My dad died of cancer when I was only 10 years old.
About four years later, my mom remarried.
Then 3 days before my birthday, my stepdad murdered her right in front of me, I was hiding, hoping he wouldn't see me. As he wasn't looking I ran to my room, locked the door, and crawled into my closet, hugged my knees and kept repeating over and over "This is just a dream, this is just a dream."
Little girl terrified
She'd leave her room if only bruises would heal
A home is no place to hide
Her heart is breaking from the pain that she feels~
All of a sudden, I heard "OPEN THE DOOR!" Then he broke down my door, he looked around, and as I was looking through the crack in the door, then I realized he had a beer bottle in his hand. He's drunk.
~Every day's the same
She fights to find her way
She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray
She wonders why, does anyone ever hear her when she cries~
He opened the closet door, and grabbed me by my arm. "Let go of me!" I exclaimed, and then he pushed me into the wall, causing me to dislocate me shoulder. As I sat there on the ground, holding my shoulder, he beat me, tears falling down my cheek. My stepdad was frantically searching my room, asking me repeatedly. "Where's your money!? Where is it!?"
~Today she's turning sixteen
Everyone singing, but she can't seem to smile
they never get past arms length
How could they act like everything is alright?
She's pulling down her long sleeves
To cover all the memories that scars leave
She says, "maybe making me bleed
will be the answer that could wash the slate clean"~
I even thought about suicide, but it wouldn't do any good.
"I don't have any; I spent it so I could buy food." I said hoping he wouldn't hurt me.
All of a sudden , he pushed me, I fell towards the doorpost causing my shoulder to hit the doorpost, also causing it to break, I felt this stinging in my shoulder, and I look down at it, and I'm bleeding hard.
Only a few hours later, he was drunk more than ever, I never left my room.
~ Every day's the same
she fights to find her way. She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray
She wonders why, does anyone ever hear her when she cries~
I pulled down my sleeves, to cover up the scars and bruises.
~This is the dark before the dawn
The storm before the peace
Don't be afraid 'cause seasons change and
God is watching over you
He hears you~
I hid in my closet and cried. Thinking of all the pain he caused me, I tried to fight back, but all that got me was a broken rib.
~Every day's the same
She fights to find her way
She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray
She'll be just fine, cause now he hears her when she cries~
~Every day's the same
She fights to find her way
She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray
She'll be just fine, cause now he hears her when she cries
She'll be just fine, cause now he hears her when she cries~
REALITY:
"Kim, may I have a word with you?" he asked.
"Sure, Mr. Saunders." I replied.
He waited until the last student left the room.
"You've been sort of out of it, in my class, is it something I should know about, I'd be happy to help, Haley." He said.
I literally felt my blood go cold, and my face began to turn pale.
"Oh, so you do remember me?" he said, with a sleazy smirk on his face.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I said.
"You were always a bad liar." He said.
"But you were always so drunk, so I'm surprised you remembered that little detail." I snapped.
"I told you, I would make your life a living hell, once I got out, and I'm out." He said.
"You were supposed to be in jail, for life, how did you even get out?" I asked.
"I broke out." He replied.
An unbearable silence fell upon us; I could feel the tension growing between us.
I gave him my best death glare; I guess it didn't affect him
I slowly walked out of the classroom, and went into the bathroom.
I sunk down into a corner, and cried.
Flashback:
"Mom?" I asked.
"What is your problem?" he asked.
I heard my stepdad or Tyler.
I heard him, so I hid in the closet.
"You. Marrying you was a big mistake." My mom hissed.
"Get away from me, I'm leaving and I'm taking Haley with me, so back off." She said.
"You're not leaving me, you try to leave, and you die." He said.
My mom was scared, but hid her emotions. Tyler reached into the fridge, and drunk a beer bottle.
My mom tried to walk away, but he grabbed her, and stabbed her in the chest.
My mom was laying there gasping for air, she saw me through the crack of the closet, and mouthed the word "Run."
Reality:
"Ugh." I said, making my way to the sink to wash my face.
I walked out of the bathroom, and made it seem like nothing was bothering me.
Me and Jack were at our lockers.
"Hi Jack, Kim." Donna Tobin said.
"Nice to see you too." I said with sarcasm.
"So, Jack do you want to go out sometime?" she asked.
"Donna, I'm going to be honest, I don't want to go out with you, I'm sure you're a nice girl, but I'm not interested." Jack said winking at me.
"No one says no to Donna Tobin." She mumbled under her breath.
She grabbed Jack and pushed him against the locker, and was about to kiss him, but he covered her mouth with his hand. Then I pulled Donna off him.
"Kim, move." She said.
"No." I replied.
I felt Jack slowly back away.
She was about to slap me, but I blocked her hand.
"Do you really want to get into a fight with me?" I asked.
She backed off, and walked over to Brad, captain of the wrestling team.
We all know that Brad likes her, and she takes advantage of it, so she's pouting.
I turn around, to grab some books.
Brad came up behind me throwing a punch, I was about to catch it, but Jack caught it.
Brad had a scared look on his face.
Something flickered in Jack's eyes.
"Do that again, and you're going to regret it." Jack said, with anger flickering in his eyes.
Jack let go of his fist, and we walked to lunch.
"So, did anything exciting happen today?" Milton asked.
"Donna Tobin, tried to kiss Jack, and Jack almost beat Brad up." I explained.
"So it sounds like a pretty normal day." Jerry said.
School went by so quickly.
After school, we went to the dojo.
Me and Jack were sparring, I think I might finally get the better of hi-
Spoke too soon, I thought while Jack looked down at me with a smirk on his face.
"Kim, you've been out of it all day, are you okay?" he asked leaning down.
"Yeah, I just have a lot on my mind, but don't you think you should keep your guard up?" I asked.
He looked confused till he figured out what I meant, but he was already on the ground by then.
It sort of went back and forth, till Jack was leaning over me, getting extremely close.
"Hey, are you going to kiss or what?" Jerry asked.
Totally ruined the moment I thought.
Jack helped me up.
I went into the locker rooms, and took a shower.
"Hey Kim, would you mind if I walked you home?" he asked.
"Sure." I said, biting my lower lip.
He walked me home, by taking a shortcut through the woods.
I walked up to my door; I opened the door, thinking my mom would at least want to say hi.
I opened the door, and saw a trail of blood.
I walked towards the trail, with Jack close behind.
I saw them, my parents, laying there surrounded by a pool of blood, I found a note, it said.
' I told you I would make your life a living hell, I thought maybe I should kill them in front of you, but what fun would that be, I decided to surprise you, they were in the way, and you're next.
Sincerely,
Your loving stepfather :)
I slowly backed up, tears falling back down my face. That psycho, at least have the decency not to put a smiley face on the paper.
"Kim, we need to get out of here." Jack said.
"Aw, why can't you stay a little bit longer?" he said.
"Mr. Saunders!?" Jack said.
"Haley, why don't you introduce me to your little friend, since I am your father." He said.
"No. You're not, you were my stepfather, and I hate you, you should be in jail." I said.
"You left me there to rot, y-"
"YOU DESERVE TO ROT!" I yelled.
Tyler walked towards us, we took a step back.
Jack was about to go into a fighting stance, but I stopped him.
"We need to surprise him." I whispered.
He nodded, and we tried to find an exit, the back door was blocked.
So the only way out was the front door.
Tyler took a step forward, we stood our ground.
"Move kid." He said.
"Do you really expect me to move?" Jack said.
"Move, or you'll regret it." He said.
He then pushed Jack.
He's totally screwed.
"You probably shouldn't have done that." He said.
He then flipped Tyler.
"Come on." Jack said. He grabbed my hand, and we raced out of my house.
We took a shortcut through the woods, and ended up at Jack's house. Jack took me in, I called 9-1-1.
"Kim, what was that?" he asked.
I didn't answer him, and I wanted to, I tried to, I opened my mouth, but no words came out.
"It's okay, if you don't want to talk about it, its fine." He said.
"You can sleep here, in the guest room." He said.
"Thanks." I replied.
I went into the guest room, and lay there, not feeling safe, and even if I get relocated, it wouldn't do any good, I would leave everything behind, the dojo, my friends, and Jack, Arrogant, cocky, great Jack.
I didn't think Jack would expect me to sleep very well.
I finally fell asleep, but it only gave me a nightmare.
I'm not really sure where I am, everything's foggy.
I saw a woman about in her early 40s; she had blonde hair, falling down to her back.
"Mom?"
"Mom!" I yelled.
She turned around, with a pained expression on her face, and then I saw the knife plunged into her chest.
I gasped, and the scene of her death played over and over again in my head.
Except, Jack comes and says, "It's going to be okay."
He then pulls me into a hug; it was from his warm, firm arms, then his grip got tighter and tighter.
"J-Jack you're hurting me." I said.
I pulled away to see that it wasn't Jack anymore, it was Tyler.
I gasped.
"Haley, I thought about killing you, but maybe watching Jack die, would just kill you, without my help, and plus, you're really hot for a 15 year old." He said, and pulled a sleazy smile onto his face.
All of a sudden, I'm being grabbed by my neck, and being slammed down onto the ground, hitting my head.
"S-stop it, NO! I rather have you kill me, than rape me…" I said.
"Your wish is my command, just like your mother…" he said.
Then a knife was plunged into my chest.
"AHHHH!" I screamed.
It's just a dream, just a dream.
"Kim!? What's wrong, what happened!?" He yelled.
"N-nothing, it was just a dream." I muttered.
"I knew it was a bad idea, to leave you alone." He said.
Then he crawled onto bed.
"You want to talk about it?" He asked.
I nodded.
