Chapter 6

P.O.V/ Kim Austin:

It's been five days since I found out about Kelly that she isn't a witch, that she is a demon. Well, half-human and half-demon. She wouldn't have a human face if she was a full one. I thought she was mean, but she's far worse than that. She's evil. It makes sense now why her attitude is so abrasive and hostile. But I learned that her dad hits her from time to time, so not only does she have a hard time with herself, but she doesn't have a good home life. Austin buys Kelly things to make up for his abuse of her, but he turns around and does the same thing over and over again. Like Kelly does with me, she makes me fall for her after hitting me to win me over so I'll forget about her mistreatment of me. But it's still there in the back of my mind as hard as I try to forget it. I can't stop loving her. I've tried so hard to stop, but once I tell her that, she'll get angry, and I'm afraid she will do worse than bust my mouth. Today is October 8, 1982. It's a Friday, and my mom is off for three days finally, so she drove me to school and dropped me off. She dropped me off in the back parking lot so I could wait for Kelly, who was sending me messages on my beeper asking if I needed a ride; I told her no. Not too long after my mom left, Kelly came driving through the parking lot, where she parked her car in the first spot right by the gym on the left side. She shuts the car off and gets out, holding her hand over her face. I saw this, and She said without moving her hand, " Follow me to the bathroom." I follow her into the gym lobby and enter the girl's bathroom. Nobody is in here. She sets her blue jean backpack down on the floor as she moves her hand, revealing her nose and pouring blood into the sink. I said, " What happened?" Kelly said as she looked in the mirror at her bloody nose " My fucking dad." She puts both hands on her nose and quickly turns it, making a god-awful cracking noise as it goes back into place. Kelly exclaims in pain, " Fuck!!" I'm cringing at this. It's painful to watch. Her nose starts to heal, and returning to normal, the blood disappears. She pulls off a paper towel, turns on the water, wetting it, and wipes off the leftover blood. She rinses off the blood puddle in her hand, and the blood travels into the sink drain. She turned around and said, " Prick was pissed because he didn't have any beer." She picked up her backpack, and we walked back outside to the parking lot and up to her car. Kelly leans up against the trunk of her car, scanning the parking lot. She spots Jane getting out of Shana's car, and wolf whistles at her. Jane looks over at Kelly and rolls her eyes as Kelly winks at her; Kelly says, " Don't be shy; I don't bite." I nudge her to the side, and she looks over at me. I said, " Stop". Kelly said, " What's the matter? Jealous??" Kelly said to Jane, " What's wrong, Jane? Too stuck up to flirt back??" Jane said, " Grow up, Kelly." Kelly mocked her, and Jane got pissed. She walks up to us, and Kelly raises off the car, looking at her. Jane said, " Stop your shit. I'm not fucking scared of you". They are nose to nose almost. Kelly said as she stared at Jane with that intimidating glare " Then do something bitch"... I got between them, putting my hands on their chests and pushing them apart. Jane shoved my hand off and said, " Don't touch me." I said, " Jane, I just don't want you two fighting". Jane said, " And I don't like you when you are with her." Kelly said, " You're just jealous, Jane, why won't you admit it?" I said to Jane, " I'm sorry, but Kelly is my friend too, and you have to accept that." Jane said with a sarcastic tone " Yeah some friend." Kelly said, " Geez sounds like you need to get laid." In a snarky tone. Then Kelly said, " Oh wait.. you never have been.." She is pointing out the fact that Jane is a virgin. Jane said, " At least I'm not a slut like you." Kelly swung and punched Jane in the face, making her stumble back a few steps. Jane catches her balance as her backpack slides off her back, hitting the ground. Jane swings a punch, nailing Kelly right in the nose, making her back hit the trunk. She growls as she comes swinging a punch that Jane dodges. Jane comes up and hits her in the stomach. Kelly is bent over in pain. She then tackles Jane to the pavement, and they roll around. I finally see an opening and grab Jane, pulling her off of Kelly, while Kyle comes up and grabs Kelly, holding her back. Jane quickly squirms out of my grip and turns around, shoving me back. I get pissed and shove her back. Jane swings her fist and hits me in the mouth hard, making my head twist. I haul off and punch her in the nose. I take my knee and hit her in the stomach. She falls to the ground on her side, holding her stomach in pain. She kicks the back of my legs, and I smack the pavement on my back. I exclaim in pain. As I rise up, she pounces on top of me, putting me back down. She's holding me down with her weight. She swings her fist, and I quickly move my head, and she punches the ground. She exclaims in pain. I quickly swing my fist, hitting her in the mouth. She falls off me and hits the ground beside me. Soon, teachers and three school cops run out of the gym. Two female cops jerk us up and slam us both on the trunk of Kelly's car, putting handcuffs on our wrists. The third cop is a male. He is handcuffing Kelly as she rolls her eyes. The Juvenile detention center is located in John Tarleton Park, about ten minutes from the school. They put me in a jail cell, then put Jane in the one beside mine and Kelly in the one beside Jane. I'm pacing the floor as Jane sits on the bench with her back against the wall, her arms crossed, and she hasn't said a word to me. Kelly is lying on the bench on her back, tossing a quarter in the air and catching it repeatedly. I walk up to the bars and look at Jane as she stares at her cell door. I said " Jane"... She ignored me. I said, " I'm sorry,".. with tears streaming down my face. Jane finally looks at me with tears streaming down her face. She said, " It's a little too late for that". I start to say something and a door opens. I hear footsteps as I look back at my mom standing in front of the cell with an upset look. She said, " Kimberly Ann". Oh no, I'm in big trouble when she calls me by my full name. Mom said, " I was told you and Jane got into a fistfight." Jane looked over at my mom about that time, and Debby came walking past my mom and up to Jane's cell. She is pretty upset as well. She said as she crossed her arms, " So what was the fight over? A boy? You two have been friends since you were babies, and you've never fought". Jane stood up and walked up to the cell door. She looked over at me, standing at my cell door. She said, " Ask her".
