Stars in the Darkness

6. One Thing to Another

Hearing those words my mood shattered, my mom. My mom is here. The last person I wanted to see right now. I just wanted to be with Kyle.. He looks back at me, nodding my head I stand up and throw my backpack over my shoulder. Walking through the door; I head down the stairs. I see the back of my mother, letting out a loud gulp I feel fear and anxiety rise higher and higher.

Turning around I see her eyes drilling into mine, a small fire spread inside. She was going to give it too me once we got home.. She gives me the fakest smile I have ever seen in my life. Wrapping her arm around my shoulder she helps me out the door. My mom turns to Kyle's mother.

"Thank you for watching over my daughter, I was worried so much..," she looks at me with pleasure in her eyes, "she is everything to me.. and I would die if I lost her.." Lies. Those are lies! How can they not see it! Giving me a small jerk on the shoulder we leave his house. Glancing around I see the number of the house and got the details on the house so I could come back.

Reaching out to unlock the back door I'm stopped. Looking up my mom smiles and points to the front seat, knowing that obeying is better than disobeying I follow her commands. Going in the front seat with huge fear in my mind I stare outside at Kyle's house. Just stay calm and everything will hopefully be okay.. But once the car started was I sure wrong about being calm..

The car started up and we headed out, once at the first stop sign my mother faces me and strikes me across the face three times. Holding my cheek I dare not look her in the eyes. She knew I was afraid of her, she knew how to make me feel worthless.

"How dare you run away from home... Are you that self absorbed, everything doesn't revolve around you Rose! You wish it was but it isn't! Nothing does!" she strikes me again. "How could a daughter like you be brought forth from someone like me and your father. Your brother would make a better example of a perfect child." That's when I snap. Staring at the door I swing it open and start to run, this woman is mad. Perfect child?! No one is perfect! Not even my older brother!

"Get back here bitch!" my mother yells inside the car. Heading away from her I hear the car go into reverse; the tires squeal loudly. Getting on the sidewalk I weave my ways through the houses hoping to lose her along the way. It feels like I was a snake going through glass, sleek and smooth. Pulling out my phone from my pocket I dial Kyle's number.

"Come on Kyle pick up!" I scream running, the sound of the answering rang in my ear. My heavy breath made it hard to hear what was around me, the click of picking up made me a little more happier.

"Kyle?!" I say almost out of breath, a small gasp was heard from the other side of the line.

"Rosalina?! What's happening?!" he says almost making his voice crack from the high pitch. Moving my sweaty hair from my face I look around for my mothers car, no where. But behind me a dark blue BMW pulled in.

"My mom...," I started but he jumped ahead of me.

"What did she do?!" he says on the edge of his bed (literally).

"She... hit me and yelled at me once we got into the car and I'm behind a group of houses waiting for her to pass by but I don't know.. I'm scared Kyle..." tears started to run down my face as I look around. That's when I notice the car, and how familiar it was. Mumbling words under my breath I start to back up taking the phone away from my ear.

"Did she hurt you Rosalina?! Did she do anything else?! Where are you right now?! Rosalina...!!" That was the last thing I heard before I ran into a solid object and was punched, knocking me out.

Rolling around I open my eyes to meet bright lights. What happened? My head was pounding in pain, dang, that hurt a lot.. Sitting up the fleece blanket falls off my legs, the shades were open and by the colors of the room it was a guys room. Well crap. Standing up I head for the closet on the side of the red wall, opening it I see all types of name brand. Even some ones that are found at Hot Topic, huh, thats interesting..

"What are you doing?" I'm scared like crazy which results in me falling on my bottom. Who is it?! I hope someone is actually there and I didn't hear that! Scrambling back to the wall I see who spoke.

"Jordan...?" I say in utter confusion. He was the one that hit me? Why would he do that? Why did he bring me up to his room, out of all places.. Staring at him I pull my legs closer to my chest. I don't know if I should trust him..especially now.

"Sorry for bring you here, your probably really skeptical about being in a guys room, and to top that being one that you don't know very well," he chuckles nervously. Giving a small laugh back I go away from the wall and stand up. I trust Jordan so far, but this..? Why would he do it? Was he the one that knocked me out? Or was that someone else..?

"Were you the one that knocked me out..?" I ask, he stops walking and his shoulders drop. He did? No, he couldn't. He wouldn't do such a thing.. Turning around his eyebrows are furrowed in pain.

"No.. I didn't, but I know who did...and I-"

"Just tell her dam." jerking my head over to the doorway I see Riley.
