Fearless (Book 1)

Chapter 13 - Meeting April and Casey (Part 2)

Part 2

Darkness... Is all I can see.

Then it turns grey, and then a white light shows.

It goes into my memories as my younger self. Not wearing baggy clothes. No scars on me. I was really happy. No fake smile.

Then, it shows my mom. And then, my dad...

My memories zoom backwards until it stops where it was 1997. When I was born.

My mom and dad were in the hospital with which I'm assuming is me in her arms. It zooms forward to my dad in the living room watching a ball game on TV.

I come out to the living room with my Elsa doll in my hands. It looked like I was 7 years old.

"Daddy, can we go to the park today?" Little me asked.

He looked at me and drank his alcohol and slams it down on the table. "Be grateful you little brat that you have stuff to play with!" Little me starts to cry a bit. My dad gets up off the couch to stomp towards me and one of his hands slaps me across the face.

Little me starts to fall down on my bottom. She started to cry more.

Little me looks up at him with fear in her eyes backing away from him as he walks towards her. She gets up and runs to her room slamming the door shut and decided to hide in her closet closing both the doors.

She covers her mouth to not make any noise. She hears her door open and footsteps.

"Come out you little brat!" Her dad yelled loud. She screamed a bit and she heard footsteps coming to the closet.

The two closet doors slammed open. Her dad had a knife in his hand. With his free hand, he grabbed her shirt to lift it up.

He held the knife up.

She screamed.

"NO!!!!!"

Present day

I gasped and opened my eyes hearing the echo through my ears.

I looked around frantically seeing that I'm in the nurses office at school. I start to sit up and wait until the nurse comes.

I start to feel sweat on my face. I wipe the sweat off with my sleeve. The nurse comes in and looks at me while walking.

She goes in front of me handing me an ice pack. "Here," she says gently "you need this for your eye." She says.

I was shocked. "W-what do you mean?" I whispered. She had sympathy in her eyes. "I'll get you a mirror so that you can see it." She says. "Has your eye been hurting when you woke up?"

That was weird.... My eye never hurt when I woke up.

I shook my head.

"Oh." She said. "I'm just gonna give you the ice pack anyways so that the eye doesn't swell." She said.

"Thanks." I said.

"By the way," She began walking to the front door "it's the end of the school day already so you should go home if you're ready." She said.

What?!

I was panicking with wide eyes "What time is it?" I asked.

"Oh it's 3:00." She said.

Oh my fucking god my mom's gonna kill me!

I didn't have my oversized hoodie on!

"One of the girls brought your hoodie here. It's on the hook next to the door." She said.
