I woke up screaming. I hope no one heard me. I thought all that stuff I heard at Merch Pier was a dream, but then I remembered. It wasn't. I smiled at the thought of Joey saying that. I never really thought that he felt that way. I always thought that he was just playing me, but look where we are now. :)
I had a nightmare about last year. He was sneaking into my house. He was murdering my mom. Then he came into my room as I tried to hide under the bed, but he caught me and dragged me out by my shirt. Then he held me up to his height by the front of my shirt collar. Our faces were so close. I can't believe I actually thought this monster was a boy. "Missed me?" He hissed into my ear. Then I woke up.
I've been having these nightmares for a few days now, but I didn't tell anyone. Only a few people know about what happened last year. And that's Vickey, Gloria, Gabby, Gavin, and Cole. AND my parents, but of course they know. Every time I thought about it, I started crying. My grandmother sacrificed her life to save me from that monster of a human.
I always knew that there was only one species that were a monster. Not bears or lions, no. This species was worse. They kill each other every day and multiply quickly. That is the problem. They hardly have any hair. They will kill their own species and others. That's how bad they are. They will kill any living thing, without even hesitating. The worst thing is that they are the smartest animals on earth. And they are the most populated. Some are good. Most are bad. They will force you to mate with them. They won't even think about what you want. All they will do it take, take, take. Never give. That animal is named the human.
I looked at my ipod and checked the time-3:13. I tried to go back to sleep, but couldn't. I never got up THIS early on a Sunday.
Speaking of, we were probably going to Church today. Every Sunday after the burning happened, we went to Church. I wouldn't mind going to Church, but it's SO boring. Can't we just praise God in a fun way, instead of listening to men talk in a monotone voice and opera singing that you can't even understand for an hour?
That's it! Singing! I bet we can get the guys to do some "churchy" singing. I think. Well, maybe not. They would have to make up a whole new song and THAT would take a long time. I figured going to Church for an hour was a better idea.
I tried going back to sleep, but I couldn't for fear that I would have that nightmare again. I kept looking around my room at all the dark corners. I hated the dark. I always think a thing is a ghost or something. Like my hoodie on my hook was him. I glanced around a million times.
It went on like this for a couple of hours. I was bored out of my mind. Then I heard a door opening. I checked my ipod for the time-6:34. Mom was up. Well, since she's up, I might as well get up. Haha, no. I hate when people make stuff in books that never happen. NO ONE DOES THAT.
ANYWAY, my mom walked in and I quickly and not-so-gracefully put my head on my pillow and shut my eyes as if I was asleep. Yea, I want you to look me in the eye and say that you've never done that. Or that when you see someone you know from school, that you don't try to ignore them. I mean really? In books when you see someone from school that you never talk to: OMG I KNOW YOU!!!! *runs up and hugs them*/ in real life: *they see you and you try to cover your face with your hoodie and go in a different isle in the store*.
I heard a door close and looked up and saw my mom left.. I tried to go to sleep, I really did, but it was hopeless. I decided to text Gloria about the situation.
ME: Hey u up?
GLORIA: Never went 2 sleep
ME: ha, um u remember what happened last year?
GLORIA: oh yea
ME: I had a nightmare bout him
GLORIA: Wat was it bout?
ME: I saw him come in my door and he killed my mom and then I tried to hide under the bed but he caught me and pulled me up by his shirt collar and said 'Missed me?' and then I woke up screaming
GLORIA: did anyone hear u?
ME: I don't think so if they did then they never came to check on me
GLORIA: Is that the only reason u texted me?
ME: Well I need someone 2 talk 2
GLORIA: and u chose me, I feel so special
ME: haha
ME: ha yea I guess he should well, I gotta go bye
GLORIA: I don't know where u would go or do but ok, bye, I guess u need time 2 think
I could always count on Gloria, she always understood. No matter what happened, she would always be there, but me and Gabby will always have a special connection, too. After all she was the first one that I told about him. She actually got involved, but I don't wanna talk about it right now. I just stared at the ceiling until I heard footsteps. I put my head down again and she shook me awake. I groaned. I was really tired, but I couldn't sleep. I would probably fall asleep in church.
I got up and got dressed in my "churchy" clothes and went to the kitchen. The guys were wearing "churchy" clothes and they all looked like they should belong in the walking dead. "What's up with ya'll?" I asked at no one specific.
"Well, someone's happy," said Mike.
"Yup," I said, popping the 'p'.
"Why are you so happy, anyway?" Asked Freese.
"I honestly don't know," I replied. I really didn't know.
"We're gonna leave in 10 minutes," said mom. Everyone groaned.
"Why are we going o church again?" Asked Billie.
"To praise God, dumb ass," said Tre.
Billie gave him a look, "I mean, why now? Why not 3 weeks ago?"
"Because, he saved Nikki's life," answered mom.
"Oh right," said Billie, "Now, I get to be her fake dad," he hugged me, kind of creeping me out.
"Ok, there, tiger No need to rape me. Just because you're my dad, doesn't mean you get to do that." I said, backing away. Everyone erupted with laughter. I don't know why, I was being serious.
"Just trying to hug ya. I had NO intention of raping you, if that's what you thought," said Billie, between laughs. I just sat down and ate my breakfast.
We got in the car around 8:45 and we were off to church. Tre was being loud as usual and I was being, well, me. Finally we were at church.
We walked in and took our seats. In the middle of church, I started dozing off. I was either day dreaming or just sleeping. I usually just looked around and thought about stuff. I looked who I was sitting next to. Billie, of course. I swear, if he tries to rape me.... I thought he was the one who cared about me more, but I'm 12 not 5. I don't like to hug my dad or my fake dad. If he's gonna be my fake dad, then I'm gonna treat him like he's my real dad.
All of a sudden, I heard bells. I thought I was crazy or something, but then I realized Mass ended. I stood up and walked over with everyone else, kneeling when I got to the end of the row. I was guessing that the guys didn't know that they needed to do this. They knelt with confused looks on their faces and just shrugged. I laughed and continued walking.
We got home, after a crazy car ride. Let's just say that Tre was driving the way home. You figure out the rest. "Tre! What the hell was that?!" Asked mom.
"What was what?" Asked Tre.
"You could have gotten us killed!" Said mom.
"I didn't do anything! Just swayed the car from one side of the road to the other. No one was on the road. It was deserted!" Defended Tre.
Everyone else just walked inside, not wanting to get involved with this. I flapped straight onto the couch and fell asleep.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up and looked out the window. It was dark. How long had I been sleeping? I looked at the clock in the kitchen. It was 8:30. I can't believe I'd slept that long. Well, I suppose I HAD lost a couple of hours of sleep. I walked into the kitchen to see everyone eating pizza. "What," I said, "you're eating WITHOUT me?"
"Well, we didn't know how long you'd be sleeping," said White.
I shrugged and started to eat. I ate and went to my room to practice piano. Someone walked in and I stopped. It was Freese. "Hey," he said.
"Hey," I said, back. I started playing again. He sat down next to me. "I swear if you try something..." I warned.
He started laughing, "I'm not, chill. What is up with you and raping?" He was still laughing.
"Nothing..." I said, awkwardly.
"You're hiding something," he said.
"Psheesh. Whaaaaatttt? Nah." I shrugged.
"Yes you are," he said, poking me.
"Getting a little playful are you?" I said, pushing his hands away.
"C'mon, tell me."
"Tell you what?" I asked.
"What you're hiding."
"No," I said, bluntly.
"Fine then," he said, standing up, "but I'm gonna get it put of you one way or the other."
"What the hell are you-" I never got to finished. I erupted into a fit of giggles. He picked me up and started tickling me. "STOP!" I cried, over my laughter, "I hate when people tickle me!" He wouldn't stop though. "I'm gonna get Billie!" I warned. He still didn't stop. "BILLIE!" I cried, "BILLIE!"
Suddenly, a confused Billie burst into the room. He noticed why I was crying for help and stopped Freese from tickling me. "Seriously, Freese?" He asked, as he put me down, "She's a 12 year old girl. Don't you think that's a little inapro-" He suddenly picked me up and HE started tickling me. I started into a fit of laughter. After about 30 seconds he stopped and put me down. He ruffled my hair. "Little squirt," he laughed as he walked out.
He ruined my hair. I brushed the fizz out with my fingers and lay down on my bed. I was tired. Ha! And I literally slept ALL day.
I felt like someone was staring at me. I looked at the door, but no one was there. I looked under the bed, in the closet, everything. I even looked in the vent for crying out loud! I didn't check the window, though. I sneaked a peek at the window on the right side of my room, nothing. I checked the window on the left and found the face of a person who I thought was out of my life. "Brandon..."
A/N~
Can anyone guess who Brandon is???? I bet most of you can. Cause ya'll are that shmart! :P ok so tell me something. Why does all the people who update like once every century's books get a million reads, but the ones who update every day get only a couple of fans? Does that make sense to you? That really doesn't make sense to me. Please, someone explain it!
So, sorry I was late on updating, I was on the road all day. I'M FINALLY HOME!!! :) :) :) :)
Also, many chapters back, I made a character named Alex. Well the person who that is based on is actually my cousin...GO FOLLOW HER NOW She's da_dreamer. She's also writing a fan fiction, but about Emblem 3 if you've ever heard of them.
AND I need to have a word with all you bitches out there. Yea you know who you are. The ones who call people "Your favorite "niggah"" Yea I wouldn't wanna be someone's favorite "niggah" I mean really? First of all, the CORRECT word is niggER btw and second of all, idk about you (but I'm feeling 22) but I definitely wouldn't wanna be called a nigger. And the stupidest people are the ones who, after people call them their best nigger, they say, "Awwww thanks, you're so sweet." I mean WHAT?! Am I missing something here?! Wow. Welcome to the 21st century.
So, what'd you think about it? Like it? :) Love it? :D Hate it? D: Leave it in the comments! (Hate comments ARE accepted) If ANYTHING is wrong with this chapter or the whole book, then please tell me, so I can fix it. VOTE+COMMENT LUV YA'LL
