Chapter 1
The night was dark, and silent as death, the moon was a bloodly color. My lungs felt as if they were about to burst in any minute. My feet were sore, and I just wanted it to stop. I wanted to stop running. I wanted to sit down and rest.
"No! Get up, we still need to keep going!" The woman screamed at me, while pulling my hand.
"No! I'm tired, I want to stop!" I pleaded with her. Then a man came over to me and picked me up. He held me tightly and took the woman's hand in his.
We didn't stop, until we came to a small barn. It frightened me a little, but then the man carried me inside. He hid me, and kissed my forehead. The woman followed behind, and with just one glance, she started to sob.
"No honey. Please. You’re just making it hard on yourself and us." He comforted her, as he hugged her tightly.
Then time went by so fast, after that I heard shouts and horrible screams. Then time slowed down, it was as if time was being consumed by darkness.
"Noooo!" I yelled, making me wake up from my lucid dream. I wiped the tears from my face, and began to look at the clock. 5:45 am
"What's wrong? Is everything ok?" Aunt Silvia asked walking into my room. She started to ask all this questions, but my mind wasn't even listening. Her blue eyes filled with worry, and concern. She stopped as soon as I lifted my hand, and shook my head.
"I'm alright, it was just a nightmare, must have been from that show I watched last night" I said while faking a smile. I really hated lying to her, but she already worries about me too much.
She just nodded, patted me on the hand, and was about to leave the room. She then turned around quickly, and laughed.
"I almost forgot, today is your first day of school as a senior." She smiled at me warmly. I immediately got out of bed and ran to the bathroom.
"What! Today is the first day of school! Why didn't you tell me earlier?" I hollered at her from the bathroom. Trying my best not to fall as I took my clothes off to jump into the shower.
I just heard her laugh loudly. Aunt Silvia can be so mean sometimes. No wonder she had took me shopping the last three weeks, I thought she was just being very nice. Guess I was wrong. I look at myself thinking I look decent, I had on a purple shirt with a black vest over it, black skinny jeans, and my black flats that had rhinestones going across them. My perfectly semi-curly, straight hair hung loosely with my light blue highlights shining brightly.
I finally come down stairs to a plate of yummy blueberry waffles. I guess this is Aunt Silvia's way of asking for forgiveness. After eating the delicious waffles, I write Aunt Silvia a note. I grabbed my book bag, which has been ready for the last few days, and my keys and headed out the door.
The ride to school isn't that far, I would usually stop at the gas station, and grab something to go. But today I went straight to school, I wanted to get a favorable spot in the senior section. I didn't want to keep parking in the opposite side of the school.
As luck may have it, I had to park on the other side of school. Man and I really thought luck was going my way. I walked around the school, until I got to where am supposed to be. I entered the cafeteria, looking for my friends.
"Hey girl, where have you been?" A girl with black hair with pink highlights, a red strapless shirt topped with a black jacket, blue torn jeans, and black converse greeted me. May was my best friend in the entire world (I know it sounds cheesy, but it’s true). She is kind of short, but has a good smoking body (no homo), hazel eyes, and is the nicest person ever.
"Hey May! Oh and I had to park on the other side AGAIN." I said while giving her a hug.
May just laughed at me, but tried to put on her sad puppy face. Which had me laughing, and I couldn't stop. Until I felt hands go around my waist. I gave out a yelp, which made people look at us. I laughed, because I immediately knew who it was.
"Stop trying to mess with Crystal!!" May laughed as she slapped him. I laughed, but felt sorry for him. Though he did deserve it.
"Owww! Man I was just greeting her." James joked as he rubbed his slapped cheek. James is tall, well built, but no abs yet (though he says he does). He had his hair up in spikes, with green tips. He was dressed in his usual punk look clothes, though He can be such a pain in the ass, but you get used to him (maybe).
We were all about to say something when the bell began to ring for class to start. We all said our goodbyes and headed towards class. As I walked in the hallways, some guys came up to me and greeted me, while the girls would bump into me and say something nasty.
I slowly made my way into classes, and final came to Science Class, which is the worst class ever! Unfortunally I had to sit right by the ugly ass bitch Layla, and the good thing is that I get to sit by my other best friend April. Which is kind of weird that she isn't here today.... April loves to make fun of the freshmen every year (Last year was so hilarious when she tricked that poor kid into going into the teachers’ lounge and dumping all their home cooked meals on the principal's car). I realized I was laughing out loud, when Mr. Brown called my name furiously. I looked up, and around the whole class, I was blushing as red as a tomato (maybe even redder).
"Wow Crystal, what’s so funny that got you laughing like a crazy maniac." Layla said laughing at my face.
"Sorry, for just having a little bit of fun skanky bitch!." I mumbled. Which got me a glare from Mr. Brown, but I really didn't care, I just wanted to be out of here.
I was glad that the bell finally rang for lunch. I hurried out of class, and made my way to lunch, looking for my friends. I finally spot them at an empty table.
"Hey guy's... yall two would never believe what happened to me today." I said telling them the whole deal, while they ate.
"That's my Crystal!!! Making a complete idiot of herself!" James said laughing at me. I rolled my eyes; James can be such a jackass. I looked at May, she was awfully quiet today.
"Hey May!! Are you ok??" I said throwing her a French fry at her waking her up from her thoughts.
"Hey don't throw good food! But no, I'm not ok, I'm worried about April." May said throwing a French fry back at me.
"Wow for not really caring for each other, you do care for your twin!" James said laughing, which led to me and May throwing French fries at him.
"So May what’s up with your sister? Didn't she come back from the club last night?" I said taking a bite from my pizza. Man pizza is so yummy!!
"Well I thought so too, maybe I shouldn't have got mad at her." May said looking at her tray.
"No! You had every right to get mad at her slutty ass! If she hadn't acted like a bitch, and hang all over that jerk, we wouldn't have left her there!" I said maybe a little too loud. May just shook her head. I reached my hand over and touched hers. "Don't worry; we will go looking for her tonight at the club." I said taking my hand back.
"Ok. But are you sure you can go tonight with us? Didn't your Aunt Silvia get mad at you, because of last night?" May said sounding like a scared five year old. I really don't understand why everyone is so scared of my Aunt Silvia.
"Naw, don't sweat it, I will just tell her that I'm going to your house for... I don't know... I'll make something up." I said laughing hoping my Aunt will believe me when the time came.
Both James and May looked at me hopeful and nodded their heads. Sometimes I wonder where this two would be without me.
"Well well... If it isn't the bitchy witch who laughed like a mad cow in class today." Layla said walking up to our table. I really can't get a break from this hore.
"Well at least I don't look like one Layla!" I said getting up to face her. She stepped back, but still tried to look unfazed. I then really looked at her; she had on a red mini dress, that snug tight to her small ass figure. Her hair all blond, and perfect, she really is a skank and a bitch!
"Whatever!!! At least my parents will still love me ever if I was a hideous monster, but what about your parents Crystal... Wait you don't have any... What a shame." She said laughing at my face. I was taken aback, no one knew about my parents, but my friends. I doubt one of them said anything to her, and if they did, it had better been a matter of life or death.
"I...I...How do you know about that!!" I said trying my hardest not to slap that annoying smirk off her face. I didn't need to get more in trouble with her ugly ass parents.
"Well.. Well..Well..Your dear friend.. what’s her name with the blond hair and blue highlights and skanky self didn't say anything to you" I just narrowed my eyes at her. "Well let’s just say we became VERY great friends, and she told me everything about you and your oh so dear secrets." She said proudly.
I couldn't say anything at all, I didn't know what to say to that. I didn't know if what she said was true or a lie. If it was true, I felt much betrayed.
"LIER, my sister would never do that, she may be a bitch, but she is a true friend!" May said getting up and pushing past me to get to Layla. She began to scream at her and trying not to lose her cool. Which I thought was already lost.
"Stop May!!! She isn’t worth it all! She is just a piece of shit!!" I said trying to pull May away from Layla. During the whole thing, Layla decide to throw a punch and got me in the face.
Before I knew I was on her throwing punches in all directions, but what surprised me was that she was dodging all my punches and taking some on purpose. I didn't think she knew how to fight at all with her small ass figure.
Then all of the sudden I felt myself being lifted up in the air. I started to struggle to get out of the hold, but couldn't seem to, all I could do was kick my legs in the air.
"Let me go NOW!!!" I said trying to still get out of his hold, which I have no idea why I even bother.
"Not until you calm down." He said, which made me go still. I really have no chance if I try to fight Kevin. Besides, Kevin is like Laylas bodyguard, more like guard dog.
I stopped kicking, and began to calm down. Then Kevin let me down. "See?How hard was that?" He said laughing, pinching my cheek. I just backed away, fearing I may start punching again.
"Thank You Kevin! I feared that I might have to kick and embarrass her ass!" She said laughing like a stupid hyena!
I pushed past Kevin and went straight for Layla. I yanked her hair, and pulled her closer to me.
"See here Bitch!! Just because you have a stupid mongrel guarding you, doesn't mean I am afraid of you!!" I said pulling hard on her hair.
Then out of nowhere, Layla got out of my grasp, and was going to punch me. I closed my eyes, preparing for the impact, but nothing came. I opened them and saw Layla struggling to get out of his hold.
"Let go of me!!!! She deserves to be punished!!! Noooo.... STOP YOUR HURTING ME!!" Layla says pleading with Allen Gale. Allen Gale is one of the top guys in our school; he is also friends with Layla, but likes to keep his distance.
"Good! Then maybe you'll learn to never disobey me again!" He says softly to her. He then pulls her in towards him. "And what about your audience, did you even think about them?" He said looking at the students standing by.
I had forgotten all about them!!! I forgot they even existed, it was just Layla and me, but now it feels like the whole world was looking.
"I...I..I don't care!! Just let me go! Please...Please...just let me go.." That was the only thing that Layla was saying.
Allen let go of Layla, and Kevin came and took her away. He then turned around and was staring at me. I couldn't move or say anything. I felt trapped and didn't know where to run to like a rabbit that is frightened.
"So.. Do you or Layla have no shame at all!? He said staring at me. I just shook my head, and tried not to stare at him.
He then shook his head and walked in the direction Kevin and Layla left. I stood there, watching him leave, happy that he left.
"Crystal!! Crystal! Are you alright??" It was May talking, but I wasn't even listening. My body still felt frozen, something about Allen scares me.
She then began to ask James to go get the nurse or something in the line of a doctor. I then snapped out of it. "No... Its ok May. I'm fine... really." I said looking at her.
She began to hug me and start to apologize to me, but I just nodded my head. I suddenly felt very tired and just wanted to sleep.
"No, I'm okay. I just was taken by surprise that’s all." Was all I said as I got my stuff and walked off to the bathroom. I really need to get my head in right. May and James just stood there, looking at me leave.
I felt bad, but I needed to go away. I just kept walking, not even looking back. I made it to the bathroom, which was full, so I decided to hide in a stall till it was clear.
I went over to the sink, and splashed cool water onto my face several times. I still couldn't shake the fear away, something must be wrong with me. I reapplied my makeup, and stared at the grey greenish eyes looking at me. It's sad that I will never know who they belonged to..my mom or dad... I will never know.
Tears began to flow down my cheeks; it has been eight years ago, that I last cried. Now it has been so long, and here I am crying again, because of some stupid bitch! I threw my book bag, and slumped down to the ground. I didn't know what was wrong with me, I just couldn't help but feel tired, and sleepy.
The bell rang, and I know I couldn't stay here, so I gathered all my strength to get up, and get my ass to class. I walked silently to class, not even bothering to say hey to those who greeted me. I slowly made my way into class, and sat in the back row, and put my head down. I felt so drained... I just wanted class to be over with.
"Crystal is everything alright?" A voice to my left said. I looked up to see that it was Ms. Rogers. I nodded my head, and faked a smile at her.
"Yes, I'm fine...it...it has just been a long day." I said hoping she buy it, and leave me alone.
"Okay dear... I was just gona ask if you do me a favor, and take these to the library?" I immediately stood up, and accepted. It was better than being here, but don't get me wrong I love creative writing.
I slowly walked to the library taking my time, and checking my phone to see if April may have texted me at all. And what do you know...nothing. She hasn't even bothered to say "I'm fine" at least. As I opened the front door, I saw Mark in there; my heart froze, and didn't know what to do. Mark was a guy; I dated, but eventually broke up with him. It was a really bad break up.
Should I walk in and pretend not to see him or should I talk to him? I didn't know what to do, but somehow I made my way to the front desk, and placed the books into the return bin. As I was making my way out, there he stood in front of me. I must have had a scared look on my face, because he began to apologize.
"No... Its ok... I was not paying attention, and there you were." I said trying to play it cool. Though to me it didn't sound convincing, but at least he bought it... I think?
"Ok cool, I saw what happened at lunch, and was surprised at what you did to Layla. I know she can be a bitch, but that was amazing!" He said looking at me with his cute... eyes, and then I noticed his neck, and the blood coursing through his vein. All of the sudden I felt hungry, and thirsty.
I guess I didn't respond, because he faked a cough trying to get my attention. What was I doing...I...did I just think about blood? Something must be going on with me, I couldn't stop staring at him, and feeling sick, but thirsty at the same time.
"Hey Crystal? Are you ok...you don't seem well?" He said trying to take my hand, which I slapped out of the way. He stood there frozen, not knowing what to say. Even I didn't know what or why I did it.
"Um... Sorry... it’s just that I have a cold and don't want you to catch it...being on the football team and all." I said smiling at him warmly. I just need to get the hell out of here, before I make a bigger idiot of myself. But that didn't happen.
Mark came closer, closing the small gap between us, and I could feel his arms go around my waist. "Well that never stopped us from doing anything before... now did it?" he said slightly kissing my jaw line down to my neck.
He started to kiss my neck softly, sending chills down my spine. His hand made his way under my shirt, groping my left breast hard. I fought to keep from moaning, but he then slid his other hand up my back, feeling his cold hand made me moan loud. He chuckled gently, smiling at the reaction I had given him.
I was embarrassed at the fact that I had even reacted, and furious at the fact that I let him. I pushed hard against him, and slapped him hard against his cheek. Leaning into him, I laughed low, and long. "You really think I liked that! You disgust me in so many ways! You’re nothing!" I then pushed past him, leaving him shocked.
I walked out fast, not knowing what I just done. I really didn't know what came over me, just feeling his hands on me made me mad! I really just need to go home and get some sleep, then later help May with her problem.
I walked slowly to class hoping the bell would ring so I could go to my car, but then my phone started to vibrate. I wonder who it could be... hopefully its April texting me. I opened my phone and almost screamed.
~Hey Crystal!! I am so Happy and like having fun! Am ok n tell MayMay that I'm with the hottest guy ever kk.... Also that I am NEVER EVER coming home!! <3~
Really this girl was going to die, and not by May but by me!! She really is a whore, I still don't know why I'm friends with her!! Man I really need to get new friends!!! I shut my phone and put it in my pocket, and storm off to class. Wait until May sees this text... she is going to flip.
I walk into class... and am thanks by Mrs. Rogers. I just nod my head and sit down, counting the minutes away (Not really though). My throat then starts to burn with intense pain, my vision blurs and I start to cough badly. What is happing to me, I never get sick!
"Sweetie are you okay? Do you need to go to the infirmary?" I just nod my head as I get the pass from Mrs. Rogers. Hopefully I can go home early.
I walk into the room but see no one at all, so I just go and lay on the bed. I then slowly start to drift away. I really need to get more sleep in or I will always be like this.
"Look at you! You are the most beautiful girl in the world!! I love you my Crystal!" The woman says as she picks me up into her arms. I'm about three years old?? Is this a dream or a memory? "Don't you think so too darling?" a man then walks over to me and swings me around.
"Of course she is... but she still has a long way to go until she looks beautiful as you do." He says kissing her slightly on the lips. They look so happy together, and in love. Then they both start to laugh and smile kindly to me. "But don't worry crystal... You will become beautiful and powerful like your parents!" I smile at that.
"Crystal! Crystal comes on wake up now!!" Someone starts to shake me violently. I open my eyes to see May trying to wake me up.
"What’s is it May!! I was having a good dream." I said turning my back to her. Man one couldn't get sleep at all!
"Yea! Well I doubt you want to spend the night at school? Or do you?" She laughed as she saw my expression.
"What!! What time is it? Is it already late?"
She shook her head, and laughed some more. "It’s only been like 10 minutes since school was left out and since you weren't at your car... I came looking for you... but who knew you would be sleeping!"
I laughed with her... thinking that she is such a great friend! I got up, and walked with her to my car, I didn't need to know that James would be waiting for us there. I then suddenly remembered about the test message!
"Hey May?" I said not knowing how to tell her. "Um well I received this message from April." I said handing her my cellphone. She looked at it, and screamed in frustration!
"WHY ME! Why did I have to get stuck with her ass!" She said looking like she was about to cry. So I stepped in and gave her a hug, in which she calmed down.
"Don't worry...we will get her small ass back, and tie her...no wait chain her down! How does that sound?" I laughed as she nodded her head and smiled big.
We made it to the car and told James everything before we dropped him at his house. Then it was just me and May, but we rode in silence. I had a major headache, I need to go home and take some medicine, because tonight was going to be a long night. I just didn't know I was gona tell my Aunt about me going out?
