Brooke POV

'I'm home' I say entering our apartment. It was a mess as usual. I drop my books on the couch and started to clean. My mom must have come home drunk again I sighed looking at all the beer bottles on the... everywhere. but, I shouldn't complain my mom did find me and take me in. Before she found me she had a good life. She had a rich husband who never even looked at another woman, an amazing house, and a baby boy. Then, one day he was kidnapped when no one was home but my mom. The people told them to pay the ransome and they did. But, my mother told the police and when they found the kidnappers. Well, they didn't but they did find a murdered baby boy. My mother was devestated. She turned to drugs and alcohol but, nothing worked. Her husband left her and her life seemed over. Then, I came in. After her husband left her she went crying to the beach to think and then some woman was their and handed her me and left. 'Finished' I thought after cleaning the apartment.

I sat down at our small dining room and started on my giant pile of homework. We were poor. But it didn't seem that way. We live in a medium-sized apartment, had enough money for me to go to school, and pay for the groceries.But , all that money came out of my bank which I had to work overtime at several jobs. But, if you went to my school you could never tell. There I was prettiest, popularest, and smartest girl in the whole school. Hard to believe right.

'Brooke' a mutter said from my mom's room. As I entered the room I didn't see her but, the bathroom light was on. In the bathroom my mother throwing up. Even then her curly brown hair was flowing and glistening down her back and her eyes looked like somebody went to the underground and choose the prettiest gem there and her skin was so white and clear that she almost looked like a statue. She was so beautiful but my beauty was too different. I havew long sandy blonde hair that went pass the middle of my back, my eyes were a clear blue (sometimes when I am angry people tell me they turn gray) and a tan complex with a full body.

 'Brooke' my mother said again cutting my stare at her. 'Yes' I said. 'Could you go to the store and get me some asprin and a pregency test?" she said before throwing up again. 'Sure' I sighed leaning against the door frame. It was 7 o'clock at night and the drug store was in the worst part of the city.

(at the drug store) I walked in the drug store and sighed with relief. I made it here without being stopped, mugged or raped. I looked on the shelves for the asprin and pregency. The cleck said 'we are closing in five minutes'. 'I know I'll only be a second' I grabbed an advil and  the closest pregency test box and walked to the counter.

*RING* Someone enter the store as I handed the clerk my items. He was tall,  yellowy, red firey eyes and a dark complexion. His hair was a dark auburn with red hightlights. He was looking at me and I was looking at him. '7.45' The clerk said causing me to break our stare. 'Oh ok' I said handing him a ten. He put it in a bag. Eventhough I was looking at the clerk I could feel the boy looking at me.

 'Thanks' I said grabbing the bag and walking out the door. The boy followed me out. 'Crap' I thought, glancing back. Then, he was gone  I turned around and looked stupidly at where he last was.

Suddenly, hands grabbed me and pulled me into the alley. 'Hello' a voice said and the hands reeleased me. I turned to see the boy from the drug store. 'NIce trick' I mumbled nervously. 'Thanks he said smirking and  walking me into the wall.  'um..' I said trying bright red. 'Shh' he said putting one hand against the wall behind us and another around my waist. 'It'll only take a moment'.

The next thing I knew was his hands were up my shirt. I pushed him in the chest but, I wasn't that strong and he was right back on me. He was burning me, his breath was scorching my face, and I could feel his body heat through my clothes. Suddenly, his hands went lower. I yelped but, no one heard. So, I did the only thing I could think of .

 I punched him in the face. He stepped back. There was a controlled angrer on his face. THen, the next time I knew I was on the floor with the left side of my face was stinging he slapped me.

Tears formed in my eyes as I looked at him. Suddenly, I wanted him to pay, I wanted him to die. No, I wanted him to DROWN. Suddenly he was standing in front of me and his hand was outstretched trying to reach me. 'NO" I shouted.

Then the sewer cover next to me shook and burst open and water bursted out at the guy. Then, suddenly it formed into a hand and grabbed him and started to pull him into the sewer too.

He was screaming but the water was filling his lungs. Suddenly, I didn't want him to die he only slapped me and my conscience returned. Then, also like it never happened the water was gone and the guy was lying on the floor soaking wet.

I didn't know what happened but the gut coughed up water then looked at me. 'RUN" my mind was screaming and that is what I did. I ran as fast as I could home. I went to my room and thought what happened, did I do that and I started to cry getting lost in thought. But, a voice brought me back saying 'Brooke is that you??'
