Throw Back Thursday

Twenty Two

There he was. Trembling uncontrollably with a hooded figure holding a knife to his throat. "Let. Him. Go." I held up what I thought was a weapon of a sort, only to discover that it was my brother's old baby toy. Oh. This was going to be very awkward. All I knew was that even though I didn't really like Leon right now, I still had, I don't know on this Earth why, those messed up feelings I had the moment we first kissed.  "I said, let him go! You hear?"

I need to seriously get away from this place. "Mom?!" I ran aimlessly around the house trying to find her. "Mom?!" My chest began to throb. "Mom?!" Suddenly I felt a cold hand upon me.

"What.." I saw my parents huddled around me, looking all concerned at my nose bleed. I must have dreamed all of that! It was a night mare! Oh, Leon wasn't going to be killed! I squealed in delight. My legs told me to get up.

Reno raised her eyebrow. "Yeah, there's something I have to do." Without any thought what so ever, I trotted down the hall and slammed the door open. I saw Priscilla there and took gigantic steps. You.. You don't go making shit about me like that. You just don't do that! When will you grow up and learn that people only like you 'cause you're a bitch? And the only reason people follow you, as I've said, because they're to mindless to wanna hate you. That's about it, but I think it's pretty God-damn true! You deserve someone to tell you, that someone who has the balls is me! Remember me, because in about thirty years time, you'll be thanking me! Me! Me! Don't you go making crap that you shouldn't be. Get your snobby, bitchy nose out of my fucking business.

II grabbed her collar. "You still have the nerve to bitch?" To pay her back, I, too, punched her in the nose - and it felt pretty damn good.

About twenty minutes later, I walked back into the room where I was before where Reno, Aimee, mom and dad were all eyeing me suspiciously. "What?"

"You've done something bad, haven't you?" Parents being parents as always. I raised a knowing eyebrow.

"Yes, and I'm not denying anything." Right now, I'm standing on top of the world. My feet are on the top of the slightly rotating Earth and my hair is defying gravity. Punish me all you like, I'm a better girl now than I ever was.
