The Devil's Addiction

Ji Yeon

"You're just a stupid bitch that craves attention! Get out before I do something worse." My mom yelled as she threw my backpack and shoes outside. I quickly wiped away my tear and shuffled outside as she slammed the door behind me. My mom despises me for no reason. It's like she hates me because she wants someone to torture. Someone to beat on and curse at. I put my shoes on and stuffed the papers that were on the ground into my backpack.

The only reason she is always mad at me is because her young boyfriend she keeps bringing in the house tried to hit on me. She kept yelling at me saying I was seducing him and he told her I was too and she believed him rather than her own daughter. I tried explaining but she always shuts me out like my words don't matter.

I looked up and realized I was already at my school. Ugh, words can't explain how much I hate it here. They treat me how my mom treats me. Like shit. "Ji Yeon! Halloween is coming up, what are you going to be?" The schools queenka Stefani came up to me along with her little minions.

"She's already in her Halloween costume!" One of the others said and they laughed and I rolled my eyes and opened my locker. "Yah! Ji Yeon, we are inviting you to our Halloween party  tonight. Here's your invitation." She handed me a card and they walked off. I watched as she walked away and looked down at the card. This has to be a prank. She never invited me to any of her parties why now?

I threw the card in my locker and went into my class. I sat down and took out my now crumpled homework and my book. I sighed heavily just wanting to disappear from this awful place. But when I want to, something always stops me from taking my life. "Ji Yeon. I heard you were invited to the party." Myungsoo came up to me.

I tried to ignore him but he kept bothering me. Knowing good and well his girlfriend hates it when he talks to me and she always hits me for it. "I'm telling you don't go." He whispered in my ear before the bell rang and the teacher came in. I just looked at him oddly as he sat back down in his seat. I shook the thought off and began focusing on what the teacher was saying.

-----------------------------------

School was over and I was putting my books in my locker and the invitation fell out. I picked it up and decided to open it. It just gave an address to the location and nothing else. Weird. Good thing have a change of clothes in my locker to get out of this uniform.

As soon as I changed I went to the location that was on the card. It was a good 25 mins until I arrived. The place honestly looked abandoned. "Why would they have a party here?" I asked myself. I've heard rumors that this place was haunted but I don't believe in ghost or the supernatural in general.

I walked in and it smelled awful. "Yuck!" I covered my nose. "Hello? Anybody here?!" I called stepping over pieces of wood and brick. This house is literally falling apart. Why would they host something here. "Ji Yeon! We're up here!" I heard Stefani call me from upstairs. I was relieved knowing that they were here. "Coming!" I said making my way upstairs.

I went in the door that was open and I felt someone behind me and before I could turn around they wrapped black cloth over my eyes and taped my mouth shut. I tried screaming but it didn't work. They tied my hands together then pushed me on the ground. "You really fell for it! You are so dumb." I heard Stefani and her friends laughing.

"This is what you get for talking to myungsoo. You bitch." I heard his girlfriend say as they picked me up and started pushing me around. They slapped me and pulled my hair. "She needs a beating not just hits. Hand me that wood over there.." Stefani said. "But that could kill her.." One of them Said. "I don't care hand me it! I'm tired of this bitch. Myungsoo likes her and my boyfriend even favors her. Why does she get so much attention she's not even that pretty!?" She stomped her foot and began hitting me. "Ahhh!!" I whined in pain.
