The Passage

Summer Starts (2)

~Katillina p.o.v~ (Gabriel ^)

As soon as I get home I change out my cloaths and put on some gray shorts and a bright blue tank top. Its my favorite tank top the material is thin but soo soft feels like a freshly washed cotton blanket. My shorts meet about mid-thigh so there not that short I take my hair out and put it into a braid over my shoulder. I decide I'm gonna go ride my bike around town get some fresh air.

I walk out of my room and and head to the living room where I find papi reading the newspaper and has his tv on some black and white show. "Papi I'm gonna go ride my bike for a few do you need anything while I'm out?" I ask papi. "Yes dearie would you be so kind to get your papi some pancake mix and milk we ran out today." I nod and eye him suspiciously he notices "what are you looking at missy?" He says looking at me above his glasses I giggle "oh nothing" I say shrugging and walking towards the front door and reach for the door nob. I get stopped by papi's words "oh and maybe some chocolate wafers. " papi says with a chuckle I laugh "busted I knew it" I say we both chuckle and I walk out the door."

I walk to the gate that leads to the backyard and grab my blue colored bike. I love my bike it's my favorite hobby other then swimming and exploring. I close and lock the gate putting the key in my back pocket and hop on my bike riding to the towns grocery store.

Once I get there I hop off my bike chain it and walk inside in search for the pancake mix and milk first. I grab those and go to the snack aisle and find papi's chocolate wafers and I grab myself my favorite strawberry wafers.

I head to the register I drop the pancake mix I bend down and get put it back on the counter. I freeze when I see who the cashier is. Its Gabriel my ex boyfriend we dated for a month it would've been longer but I found him cheating on me with my now ex best friend. "Katillina fancy meeting you here." Gabriel says awkwardly scratching the back of his head. "Yea" I say the same way back to him but adding a cold tone to it.

The memory of finding them two sneaking behind my back replays in my head over and over again the sounds, the words, the betrayal. Everything from that day and that night came up and I wanted to run. Speak of the devil I turned at the sound of the door opening and in walks that bitch with oh great Derick. How lovely he had his arm around her I feel vomit coming up but I force it back down. I turn around and clear my throat when I find him looking as well I pay for my stuff.

I hear a whistle then "well the pussy cat wears shorts look at those legs I didn't think you had any." I hear Derick say. I roll my eyes. Turn around and smile "haha very funny well if it isn't lunch boy thanks for holding my food for me." I smirk.

He pauses stunned that I spoke up to him in fact I think I surprised everyone. "Well well she has a voice how wonderful but that voice little girl will get you into trouble." He claps but looks at me giving me a look that says I'm gonna regret speaking up and from lunch earlier.

I shrug and walk out the store putting the bag on the bike handle and unlocking the chain. I was about to roll up the chain when I felt a sting on my cheek and the ground under my back. I get up instantly and face who hit me. "You ever say anything to me or speak up to me your going to get worse." I chuckle and shake my head at him. "Yea okay whatever" I roll my eyes he was gonna hit me again but I dodged got on my bike and pedaled away.

I reach papi's house lock my bike up calm my breathing and go inside. "Papi I'm back I have your chocolate wafers." I hear something drop to the floor a thud I hear a gasping breath. I drop the stuff and run to papi's room and see him on the floor gasping for breath. I get up and grab the house phone on his desk and instantly call 911 gave them the address and hung up. I didn't want anyone calming me down I need papi to be okay. I go get him water quickly and try to help him up. He couldn't get up tears we're coming to my eyes. "Papi I love you everything is going to be okay I promise."

I sit on the floor and put a pillow under his head all of a sudden he goes still just as there's a pounding on the door. "PAPI!!!! " I shake him tears coming to my eyes. "Papi please wake up don't go you can't go you know I need you papi please." I shake him harder to wake up I scream no this can't be he can't leave me. The door busts open and the paramedics are there taking me from my papi I struggle to stay but they take me outside and me being small I can't break free from the arms that are dragging me back. They take me out of the house I'm screaming and crying someone tries to calm me down. I don't hear a word the paramedic is saying I don't even wanna try to make out what she's saying I want to see papi alive.

I cry again the door is open and i see them trying to bring him back to life to breath again. But his body remains lifeless remains still I cry and run I don't know where I'm going but I'm running. I need to let it out by myself I don't need comfort I need to scream and let it out.

I run and run trying to find somewhere where I could be alone I see a dirt path and run Down it. I keep running I don't know where I'm going and i wasn't paying attention to I collided with someones back. We ended up falling me on top of whoever I collided with. I get up instantly and hold out my hand to help him up. "I'm so sorry" I say sniffling I help him up and wipe my tears trying to stop. I'm crying in front of a stranger how embarrassing.

"Its fine." The guy says who I now recognize as Bret. "Are you okay?" I nod then I think my grandpapi's lifeless form I have no one now. I start crying and I run again "Hey wait a second." I hear footsteps behind me knowing he's catching up but I keep running.

I get to this passage way looking kind of place when I callasp. I just fall to my knees crying out loud then I just scream in fury in sadness and loss. I keep screaming until my throat feels numb and crispy and can no longer scream. "He was the only one I had left now I have no one." I say to no one in particular but I know someone is standing behind me. I don't really care I'm talking to more myself than anyone I wouldn't care if the whole world heard me.
