The Silent LIfe Of Becky Jones

Chapter seven: Guess who?!

I wake up and it's nearly 9:00 am I go have a shower and put my pjs back on.. I just don't feel like getting dressed this morning Margret has most likely already picked up my books and everything else that I need. All I have to do is go down stairs and find her. I walk downstairs and head to the kitchen I grab a bowl and a box of cereal. I poor some cereal into the bowl and grab milk from the fridge. I poor the milk into the bowl before putting it back in the fridge. i sit down and eat the cereal quickly before going to find Margret. I finally find her in her office.

"Hello." she says smiling, letting me know i can come in

I smile and wave.

She pulls a box out from under her desk and hands it to me.

"That's all your things for your home schooling. Pick a subject and we will start." she says

I look through the box of text books, note books, pens, pencils, erasers, and high liters. I decide on doing art, it's my favorite subject.

Wow, i can't believe they have a text book for art...

But i guess i will just start off at the beginning. I take the text book, some paper, pencils and an eraser.

i walk out of Margrets office and towards the stairs. i go into my room and spread out everything on the floor. i open the text book and read the first page. . .working with shapes and color, done that already. . .i skip ahead to the more interesting things, like painting and sculpting.

*********

this home school thing is pretty fun. i have been doing art all day, planning the animals im going to be sculpting and then paint.

Fina should be home soon, followed by Jarle. i go down stairs and wait in the kitchen with Margret as she takes cookies and muffins out of the oven. they smell really good, like chocolate and banana's. i take a deep breath breathing it all in. i love her cooking. i dont normally like very many peoples cooking. i sit down and she smles at me.

fifteen minutes later the cookies and muffins are cooled down enough to eat and FIna and Jarle walk into the kitchen together. i look at them odly, knowing Jarle shouldnt be home for another 15 minute.

"Hey Bec!" they both say before sitting down as Margret hands us all plates with some cookies and a muffin. before turning to the fridge and getting us a glass of milk.

we sit in silence as we eat. after we all finish eating we go into the living room and watch tv until dinner.

we go out for dinner to a resturant. we all order different things. Margret orders a salad and chicken, Bob orders a burger and fries, Jarle orders pizza and Fina and i order greek pasta salad. half way through eating. . .the one and only Will 'the rapist' Averill walks in the front door.

i duck my head as he walks over to our table. he stops beside me and Fina.

"Hello, Fina." he says

"WHAT! do you want Will!?" she demands

"To take you to dinner." he says

"Hmm....let me think about that....HELL NO!" she says

"Why not, he seems like a nice boy." Margret says

"Nice boy, nice boy? he is the reason Bec doesnt go to school." she says

i look up and smile at her.

"But there is something that Becky would like to say to him first." she says "Before i kick him in the balls."

-Slap him, slap him hard!- she texts me

i get up out of my seat and stand in front of him. i wave before slaping him so hard everyone in the resturant turned there heads. he raises his hand like he is about to hit me back.

"DONT TOUCH HER!" says both Bob and Jarle standing up

he retracts his hand right away before spining on his heals and leaving.

"I cant believe he would do such a thing!" says Fina

-Well next time im guuna hit him so hard he will need a new face!- i text Fina

"Too funny Bec, too funny." she says

we finish eating in silence before we leave.

at home i go upstairs and into my room to grab some pjs and a towel. i go to the washroom and have a quick shower. i get dressed and walk back into my room. there he is sitting on my bed without a shirt on. i glare at him to say WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE!

i turn to walk out of my room but he grabs my wrist and pulls me more into the room. throwing me on the bed. i start to shed silent tears. as he get on top of me trying to take my cloths off. i lift my knee with effort and knee him in the balls. he falls over on his side and i jump off my bed and run down the hall to Fina's room and run in closing the door behind me.

-He's here!- i text her

"What! where?!" she asks

-My room!-

she walks out of her room and down the hall into my room. i hear a scream and so does everyone else in the house. They were all upstairs and in my bedroom so fast. to see Will still holding his area from when i kneed him. Bob calls the police and they show up about half an hour later. i watch as he gets pulled away in hand cuffs and smile slightly at the fact that i will never have to see him again.

Fina tells me I can sleep in her room, her bed is big enough and i really dont want to sleep alone. i dont even know how he got in my room. i lay here trying to sleep but it just wont come. i cant sleep, even knowing he wont be back to bother me ever again i just can’t sleep.

i wake up at 9:15. finally i fell asleep at like 3. i get up to find Fina still sleeping. i decide to go back to sleep myself. school can wait a few hours.

"No worries everything will be okay. Just relax for a bit." he says. He sits down on the bed beside me and kisses my cheek. Before i know it he is on top of me holding me down as he rips my clothes off. i shed silent tears and wish this was just a horrible dream and that i would wake up any second now. i feel a terrible pain inside my body.  – I wake up wanting to scream, shaking. Waking up Fina in the process.

"Is everything okay?" she asks

I shake my head. Everything most certainly not okay!

“You wanna talk about it?” she asks

I nod slightly and text her about the nightmare. . .really more a memory. A terrible, terrifying memory I wish I could forget.

********

We curl up on the couch and watch tv in the living room all day. No one went to school. Im never going to sleep again if that’s all that’s going to play in my head. Every time I blink it starts to play back over and over again in my mind. I just wish it would go away. I WANT TO DIE!

SO I WAS JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEA’S ABOUT THE BOOK SO FAR, AND WHAT YOU THINK ID GOING TO HAPPEN…
