CHAPTER 6

(Daniel's POV)
Wow. I can't believe I just heard that. Then to watch her run off in disgust was terrbile. I wish I hadn't of said that. I ruined my chances with her.  I hate her, but I love her. Why the couldn't she have said,"Hey I like you, too."? She made everything complicated. Why am I saying this? I made things complicated. I'm the one who acted like an idiot and said I like you. Why couldn't I have just asked her out? Oh, wait. That's right. She doesn't like me! I just want to kiss her over and over and-
SHUT UP!
She doesn't like me. I need to stop, get the girl out of my head. It's extremely hard  with her being beautiful. Beautiful down to her butt brown hair, tiny feet, tan skin, big green eyes- Ughh! Why can't I stop thinking about her?! I don't know, idiot, maybe because you love her. That's completely true. That still shouldn't be the reason I'm going crazy over her right now. Tommorow at school I'll make sure I scream it at lunch, then she'll have to love me!

LUNCH

I get up on a table preparing to my speech. Lunch ladies are telling me to get down. I ignore them of course and say, " I'm waiting for someone to walk in here, calm down!", that makes them shut up.
When she finally walks in I say,"Everyone can I have your attention please? Thank you. Most of you are my friends and I'd like for you to help me on this. The people who don't know me my name is Daniel. After I say this I want you all to back me up on this." They all said ok. "Ok then. Today a very special girl is this crowd. She means the world to me. If she says no then I will be very disappointed. Well today I'm going to ask her out again. Erica Stalone, will you please do me the honors of being my girlfriend?" Then there was total silence until someone shouted "SAY YES!" Then the whole crowd erupted in "SAY YES, SAY YES, SAY YES!"
"No, sorry." And with that she left the lunchroom.
I'm left looking dumbfounded and confused. Up until Britt comes.
"Hey, Danny. I'll be your girlfriend. C'mon," says Britt, my ex.
"No, Britt! I hate you. Leave me alone!"
I guess that's not the answer she was looking for because then she grabs my shirt.
"Hey! I had you first and I'll have you again!"
She starts pulling on my shirt, dragging me toward her group. I don't normally like to hit females, but this one made me. I turned around, hit her arm hard and ran to find Erica.

I found her in the library. I needed to talk to her. I needed to see her, breathe her. I needed to be with her. When she saw me she was about to run, I could tell, but I said wait.
"Why? So you can ask me out again in a non-embarrassing way?"
"I didn't mean to embarrass you."
"Then what did you mean to do? Make the popular girls hate me more?"
"No. Not at all. I just.. wanted you to know how I felt. I had to prove it."
"Well you proved to me nothing. Except for the fact that you irritate me."
Then she left me.
(ERICA'S POV)
I can't believe he just did that! He complete made my life worse than it already is. Now all the populars girls are going to come up to me, I can't believe he'd like someone like you. You're so ugly and loser. He needs me. That's exactly what will happen becuase of him. He completely made things worse for me. No. I made things worse for me. I could've just said yes. What he did was sweet. What I wouldn't give for a chance to feel his kisses all over my mouth. I just want to wrap him up in my arms and never let go while he's kissing me slowly. Our tounges intertwining, our mouths feeling so moist, my lips sucking hhis top while his are biting my bottom-
Stop it Erica!
You said no, remember? I just need to get him out of my head. Yeah that'll happen. Why couldn't I have just said yes? We could've been the new couple, kissed everyday, grew up together, make a family-
OH MY GOD!! What is wrong with me?!
I just need to apologize and keep things on the friendship side. That would've helped in the library. I feel bad for running off on him. I love him so much, but I don't want to get hurt. Then again... he wouldn't hurt me, right? I don't know anymore. What I do know, is that I need to apologize. Right now. What if he doesn't take it?
Whatever. At least he'll be off your mind.
So I turn around and head back to the library to give him my apologies. When I get there, he's gone.
Maybe he saw you and hid?
Yeah right, he's probably over me by now.
So after I scan the library for a double-check, I turn around about to go to my house. Then I think against it. I decide to go to his house and wait to say sorry up front.
Like the stalker you are.
Yeah, like the stalker I am. Wait.. No. I'm no stalker. I'm just a person who wants to say sorry for saying no to his very lovlie, heartfelt, amazing request. There's no shame in that.
When I finally get to his house I pause. I start thinking this is very stalker-like. Relizing this I turn around and bump straight into the man himself. My cheeks are hot. I wouldn't be surprised if he called me tomato.
"D-Daniel.."
"Hey. What are doing over here? Came to take me up on my offer? Or are you stalking me?"
"Woah. I just came over here to say sorry for me running away earlier and being so rude. Secondly, it's still a no. Thirdly, I would never stalk."
"Oh! So you standing outside of my house isn't stalking?"
"Don't flatter yourself. I'm here because you weren't in the library when I went to say sorry the first time. I decided to wait here for you to say them instead. Is that stalking? Hmm.. not really."
"Whatever. Bye, stalker."
I had to say something before he went inside. This was really stupid on my part.
"Wait, Daniel?"
"Yes, my stalker friend."
"I'll ignore that. Anyways, umm, can I come in?"
"I guess."
"I need advice. So far you're the only person I can tell about this."
"Ok. What kind of advice?"
So I told him my story. Everything from my dad's death to my moms beatings. How they got worse last week. How she started using fire and glass. I told him how she'd smoke then dump the ashes into my mouth. I told him about the time she tied me onto a bed and beat me 'till I bled. When I finished telling him about and showing him the most painful gruesome stories, he just looked at me, horrified.
"How could a person do that to you? I wish I could make it all better."
"You can't unfortunately."
"Can I try?"
Then he was kissing me. He biting on my bottom lip making me feel great. He licked the inside of my lips informing me to open my mouth for him. I did. Our tounges touched, deeping the kiss. He grabbed my head so I couldn't break away. I didn't even want to. He was making me feel so great. Soon it was a full-blown make-out that lasted for a couple hours. I started pulling on the edges of his hair making him hold onto me tighter. It was great. His shirt was off and so was mine. He began to take my pants off and then his. I helped him with mine while his were already gone. My hair was a mess from my hair-tie being pulled off. I jumped on him so that he was holding me. He got up and lead me to his room. He layed me down on the bed so I was on top of him. We stayed like that for a while. Then we heard a car pull up to the driveway. We quickly stopped, ran to find our clothes, and put them on. When the front door opened it looked like we were having a conversation. Like nothing happened at all. My hair was even fixed.
"Hey, Daniel. We're back," Said a woman with dark brown hair, a white sweater vest with a black belt, black pants, and white flats.
"I think he knows that dear," Said a man wearing the same thing, except he had black converse, no belt and black hair.
"Hey, Danny! Whose your friend?" Said a girl who was wearing all pink.
I'm guessing these are his parents and little sister.
"Hey, guys. This is Erica."
They all turned towards me and said," Hello Erica!"
"Hi."
"What brings you out here, honey?" asks his mom.
"Just came to talk to Daniel about a project. Well I really must be going now anyway. So bye."
"Bye Danny's friend."
"Bye sweetie. Come by anytime." said his parents in unison.
"Bye and ok."

When I got home my mother was here.
"Hey! Where have you been all day?! You were told to come straight home!"
"I know. I had to work on a project with someone."
"Do you think I care?! Because I don't! Go to your room right now and lay on your stomach!"
I did as she said. I lay there waiting for her to come and say something else. She returned with ropes and a belt and told me to strip. I did so.
"Now, then. This is your punishment."
She tied me on the bed so my backside was up towards her. She beat me until my skin ripped.  I then noticed she had a hammer with her. She dropped the hammer on my head and used the belt again. She beat my backside until I was certain I was bleeding everywhere. She untied me and told me to turn on my bloody back. Then she began to beat me again. She went to the kitchen got a knife and cut a box around what she had just done. I was screaming this whole time, but with no tears. I was so badly hurt. She told me to get up and I did. She told me to go the kitchen. She was right behind me so she was kicking me there. She threw me against the wall and threw a chair in my direction. Lucky for me I dodged it. I made her even more enraged. She slapped me, turned on the stove burners and threw me on top. She help me there until it got heated and she let me burn. It got too intense. I got up, threw a knife at her and ran. The knife cut her in the face. I ran to my room, put on some clothes and jumped out of the window and starting running back to Daniel's house with my mother screaming behind me to get back there.
I will never go back there again. I thought to myself, whilst running for my life
