Kill Me Now (Book 1)(Editing)

Chapter 11: Being Punished

                                              <<<[Chapter 11]>>>

(Recap)

“Oh what are you going to do,” I mock him as I raise my eyebrows challengingly, “Call the police.” We stand face to face with only a few inches between us as we both stare each other down. Suddenly I began to feel uncomfortable under Mitch’s glare. I stare in his grey eyes and that weird pumping feeling starts again. It must be indigestion, I did eat a little too fast. Mitch smirks down at me and runs a hand through his hair once he notices the change in my expression.

            “In denial,” Mitch ruffles my hair as he laughs. I let out a low growl and smack Mitch’s hand away. I then spin around and stomp across the sand back to my camp where there are no insufferable Mitch’s.

            “Kate,” Mitch calls after me, “Just the two of us,” he cackles referring to the song.

§§§§§§§§§§

            I angrily clomp across the sand, my chest heaving as I take deep breaths to calm myself down. How can someone be so arrogant and conceited at the same time? Ooh and the way Mitch keeps insinuating that I like him! Never, ever, ever, ever will I even think of that!

            “Dear God,” I pray as I ball up my fists, “I know you have a commandment that says thou shalt not kill, but I’m this close,” I make a miniscule space between my fingers, “to doing it. Help me to think straight, because right now I feel like grabbing the nearest rock and bashing it in Mitch’s skull.”

            Eventually I make it to my side of the beach and I fall onto my bed. I look up at the sky and take in the variety of stars.

           

Flashback

            “When life knocks you down,” Faith says as we hold hands and look up at the night sky, “Roll over and look at the stars,” she finishes with a sigh.

            “You didn’t come up with that just now did you,” I ask with a wry smile and raise an eyebrow.

            “Haha,” she laughs, “No it’s a quote from someone.”

            “It’s a beautiful quote though,” I smile as I look up again.

            “I know right,” she grins as she lightly squeezes my hand.

 

Flashback End

            “Well I guess that’s what I’m doing now Faith,” I chuckle sadly as I wrap my arms around myself. Hot tears roll down my cheeks as I snuggle against my bed of leaves.

            “Why’d you have to leave me,” I wail suddenly as I ball my hands into fists, “Life isn’t fair.” I angrily shift my head from looking up and lay on my side. A sudden gust of wind blows across the beach throwing sand in my eyes. I let out a muffled yelp and sit up quickly as I rub my eyes rapidly.

            “Why did this have to happen to me,” I scream at the stars again as I sit up, “Why did I have to lose my twin and my dad, why did I have to end up stuck with Mitch? Why couldn’t Mitch end up here with some fan that actually wants to see his face? Why does life hate me?” My voice is hoarse from yelling and I fall onto my bed exhausted.
