Until Tomorrow Comes

Chapter 2

I walk thorough the park only and sit on the one bench that I always see. This bench is the one bench that allows me to see the whole park. It's faced towards it and it's on top of a hill. It isn't a big hill which is what I like about it. Not too high neither too low. It's always give me a little breeze and it's right under an oak tree. The oak tree is big, old and looks wise. The trunk is vast and it's roots probably occupy the whole hill. Every time I sit in this place I feel like I'm closer to my parents. I've never really came to understand their needs.

Actually I really never saw them. My Aunt keeps on telling me that they dies in a car crash when I was left in her care for one night. Then she just had to take me in because she couldn't deal the place herself. So she took me in as her servant. But she only says it when she's drunk. Whenever I sit here I feel like I can hear them and feel them. Like their sitting on this bench with me. If only I could have seen them. But it must all come to an end sometime.

It's sunset and I have to get home but you know what I'll sit here a while longer. I don't care if my feet get hurt or if my dinner gets taken away. I just want to stay here as long as I can. This is the best part of my day and I want it too last. The sun is setting and has almost gone to sleep. The lights on the street wake up and the moon and the night of blue bully the sun away. And there shines the moon with all it's glory telling us to look at him and look at his life, the way he swims in the blue ocean around it. The people in the park have decreased to lovers either new or old.

That's when I finally see and realize that my time limit is almost up. That's when I grab my bags and dash for the house and I know that I'm really going to get it if I don't get there in time. I grab my skateboard and right now I'm as fast as a car. I wish I had bazooka's so I could get there faster. But when I arrive there's only a minute left and I know that I'm safe. Then Aunt snarls at me and starts barking orders like clean the dishes, broom the floor, wash the clothes and anything else that comes to her mind before I do my homework in front of the witch.

Once I'm done I drag myself to my bed for the night. I have to close the lights at 12 pm the latest. Or else I get beat. I walk into the bathroom turn on the shower head and just let the water take my worries and hardships down the drain for tonight. Leaving me light and empty from all my problems. After I'm done I plop on my bed and feel that the thin mattress is no longer enough to keep me comfortable. I honestly feel like I'm on a plank of wood covered by a blanket. I pull the thin rag over me to at least give me a little warmth. I close the lights and let the darkness engulf me into it's motherly arms.

"Jessica!" It's that voice again.

"Jessica!" It won't stop.

I open my eyes to see the same boy. On the same cliff. In the same position. Crying and screaming. And I find myself in the same position. Falling of the cliff and screaming back to him. Screaming like I have never did it before.

"JACK!" Then I wake up.

I'm sweating again and it's already morning. I really need to stop having that nightmare. Now I have to go through the same routine. Get up take my cold bath. Get downstairs and make breakfast. Wake up everyone and get them ready. Serve breakfast and get Justin to school. Then I get to school and have a talk off with Riley. Which is where my day started to go wrong.

"Oh, look its  girl. Hey, can you come and clean my shoes for me it's a little dirty." I look over and find Daisy with that face.

"You know why not. Maybe your Prada bag could help me clean it off. We could put some Clorox and it would be perfect." She looks at me confused and then stares to her copy cats wanting to know what Clorox is.

"Hey, looser Clorox drains color making everything white, stupid." Then I just walk away and then I can hear Daisy trying to run behind me in her super high heels. Which means that apparently Riley has been humiliated and can't take it. Then I feel thin cold hands grab my shoulder and I know that it's Daisy.

"You need to go and apologize to her right now. It's not like she did anything to you." Now the first sentence I could manage with. But the second one really busted my bubble.

"As my cousin I'm going to say this as nice as I can. No i will not say sorry because that women deserves to have someone in her life that can smack her across the face. Also she did do something. She trampled all over my dignity and crushed it in her tiny skinny weak hands." Then I just walk away snapping my hand away when she tries to grab me again. It felt good and I know it.

Throughout the school day I felt terrible because of two things. One, Daisy wouldn't stop nagging me about it all day. Then I had the jocks making fun of me every time I passed them according to Riley's orders. They only do it because they think that she's hot and she's the captain of the football team's 'girlfriend'. Which bugs me more.

After the day was done I went to the park per usual. Although this day wasn't like any other. One the wind was blowing really strong and my bench wasn't there anymore. I wondered what was wrong. To top it all off the whole day there has been this guy following me. Actually not all day for a while now. I only really took notice now. My bench isn't here and the oak tree is howling at the wind to stop. Standing its ground not going anywhere. So I just sit at the base of the tree and let it protect me.

Then I felt someone come closer. The moment I start to look I feel like there's no one there. The moment I put my head back onto the trunk I'm swept away off the ground and locked into someone's arms and I can't get out. This guy seems really strong and I don't know how to get out. I'm struggling and nothing seems to work with this guy. Then I noticed that I'm getting weaker and that's when I saw the cloth on my face and I fell asleep it this guy's arms not knowing what might happen to me.
