0.6: Skittles!!

The next morning when I woke up I was feeling a little embarrassed about last night. I heard the guys yelling downstairs so decided to go down and see what was going on. I swung my legs over the edge of my bed and walked downstairs quietly.

"GIVE ME MY FUCKING SKITTLES BACK DAMMIT!!" Of course this was CC er...dad yelling.

"NO!! CANDY IS NOT FOR BREAKFAST!!" This was Andy and I stifled a giggle. I walked into the kitchen and dad's back was facing towards me. I waved my hands at Andy who got the idea of what I was trying to do. He threw the candy towards me and I caught it. Dad turned towards me and I started to run away.

"LYRIC GIVE ME MY CANDY!!" He was running after me. He was getting closer to me and I ran up the stairs. When I got to the top he got me and threw me over his shoulder. I let out a small scream.

"Put me down!!" I shouted.

"Never!" He ran back downstairs and tossed me on the couch. Next thing I knew, he was sitting on me.

"Get off of me!! I'll give you the flipping skittles!" He smiled and got off of me. I got up too and handed him the skittles.

"Yay!! Haha!" He said at Andy who just rolled his eyes. "Thank you sweetie."

"You're welcome, you dork."

"What was that?" He turned around.

"Uh...Nothing." I jumped over the couch and ran behind Ashley.

"Sorry Lyr, but you're on your own." He moved out of the way and dad ran towards me. I ran throughout the house and luckily this time he didn't catch me.

"Maybe all that candy is getting to you." I laughed at him.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah, or maybe you're just getting older." That got him.

"Oh that's it." He jumped at me and tackled me.

"Aah! Help me Lord Jesus!!" Just then Andy walked in. "Coincidence? I THINK NOT!!" I yelled. Andy gave me a confused look, and I started laughing.

"Am I old now!" Dad said poking at my sides, which was very ticklish.

"No! You're not old s-stop it!" I said trying to catch my breath. Let me just say it's not a good idea to run around, then me tackled and then tickled. "Get off of me!! Again!" Finally, he got off of me and helped me up.

"Go get dressed kiddo, we're going out today?" He said, messing up my hair. I flipped my hair to its original place and went upstairs to my room. I showered and put on a long sleeved Motionless In White shirt and white jeans. I walked back downstairs and everyone was waiting.

"What are we doing?" I asked.

"We are going to eat and a movie if that sounds cool to you?" I nodded and we went to the car. Unfortunately I had to sit on Ashley's lap, but whatever.

We went to some pizza place called Bella Luna and then went to the movie theater to watch The Lazarus Effect. I'll admit, some parts scared me and I hid my face behind Jinxx's shoulder, but other than that it was pretty awesome.

"Well since its still early what do you want to do?" Dad asked.

"Uh, can we go to the mall again?" He nodded and headed there. We all got out and walked in. We spend a couple of minutes just walking around, but then I spotted her.

Kennedy.

What was she doing here? We walked past her and I kept my head down hoping she wouldn't notice it was me. I had managed to go unnoticed and we went into a Game Stop for Jake. He ended up getting like four new games. I'd never really played X-Box before so we were going to have a match when we got home.

"Hey guys I'll be right back." They all said 'okay' and I went to the bathroom. When I walked in, I saw Kennedy and her friends standing there looking into the mirror. She looked out of the corner of her eye and saw me standing there, and smirked at me.

"Well well well. Look who we've got here." I stepped back, my body trembling.

"W-what are you doing here?" My voice was just as shaky as my body.

"We just came for a little trip. Since the orphanage is just an hour away." How could I have forgotten that. They always came here, I was just to stupid too remember that.

"You gonna run off to your dad now?" She said in a baby voice. She laughed evily and grinned. "Grab her." Two of her friends grabbed my arms and pinned me in place. Kennedy walked up to me, getting a couple of inches away from my face.

"You know, I missed times like this. We could be the shit out of you, you go cut yourself like a big baby, and we could just repeat it." She got even closer if that was possible.

"Could you not get so close to my face? If you're gonna get that close you might as well just kiss me." I said with a little sarcasm. I never knew I would say something like that to her. She got an angry expression and slapped me.

"Don't you ever, talk to me like that again." She punched me in the ribs a couple of times and I slumped down. "See you later, freak!" Then she did something I'll never forget.

She spit on me.

I was in too much shock to do anything. She walked out laughing with her friends behind her. After I heard the door click shut I got up and looked in the mirror.

I had a red mark where she slapped me and the spit was on my face. I started to cry because I thought it would never happen again. I washed my face off and thankfully I didn't have any makeup on today so it wouldn't smear. I dried my face off and went back out to where the guys were.

"Hey Lyr, are you okay? You were in there for almost ten minutes." I saw the look of concern in Ashley's eyes.

"I'm fine." I said a little quieter than usual. "I'm uh, just really tired. That's all."

"Okay we'll go home now." We all walked outside and Kennedy was there hanging around. She was laughing and pointing at me. I looked down and we all got into the car and drove home. I leaned my head against Ashley's shoulder.

I'm not going to tell them about what happened today. I didn't want to bother them with anything so I'm just going to keep it to myself. When we got home I went straight to my room and showered. I still felt her spit on my face and I felt disgusting. That was like the ultimate insult you could ever give to someone and it made me feel awful.

I got out and put on a Of Mice & Men shirt and a pair of sweat pants. Dad came into my room and sat down on my bed.

"Hey kiddo, are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine." I sat down beside him and stared at the wall. Then there was an awkward silence in the air. "Hey, uh, dad. About last night. Thank you for listening. I know you didn't have to but you still did. And that means a lot to me."

"I'm really glad I did. If you ever need to talk about anything, me and the guys are always here to listen no matter what's wrong." I nodded and smiled. "Get some rest sweetheart, you've had a long day." He got up and kissed the top of my head, walked out and closed the door behind him.

I laid there for awhile thinking about what happened. I still can't believe it. In all the years she's been bullying me she has never done that. I plugged in my music to help get my mind off of it and I fell asleep listening to Carolyn.
