In the Darkness of Fear

Halloween Party

Tyra's POV

Get your ass up, my father shouted. I jumped out of bed knowing her could lose his temper real quick. Tell your friend to go home, I need you to do something for me; he gave the fake smile. Emily, can you go home, me and my father have something to do right now, probably paint the house again; I told her. Oh, OK, meet me at my house today at 6:00; she said. Once she was out of the house my father slapped me dead on my face. Where were you last night, you didn't make my dinner; he asked. I was planning a party with Emily, I said through closed teeth. That earned me another cheek burning slap. Don't talk to me like, I am your father; he shouted. You are no father to me, a father doesn't beat his child; I yelled at my so called father. That was a mistake. He pushed me to the ground and kicked, punched, and slapped me were ever he could. Then he beat me till I was red and bloody.He left the room and I burst into tears. I didn't bother moving. I was so sore, it hurt so bad. The fact that my father did it makes it hurt even worse. I jumped into the shower and scrubed my body and my face so hard I was red, then I brushed my teeth and scrubbed my tongue. I put on a pair of denim jeans and a short with a collage of colors. I went in the kitchen as quite as I could and grabbed a pop tart. I tiptoed to the door, but my father was standing right there. He grabbed my face and kissed my for head, and said, "have a nice day". I ran to Emily's house and knocked on the door. Emily can to the door with a wallet and her keys. Let's go shopping, she pulled me into the car and drove to Jack's Halloween Costume Store.We walked into a costume store and scanned the isles. We walked on the isle marked angles and choose two. Emily choose a white and a black Angle costume. I tried on the white one and Em tried on black one. We came out the dressing room at the same time. On the we look at our outfits, she said. OK, I replied. 1...2...3...turn around, she shouted.(I know the characters shout a lot, but its the easiest way to express their feelings through writing) We turned around to look at each other and gasped. You look hot, we shouted. Well, thank you melady; a voice from behind me said. I turned and came face to face with none other than...Eddy. You must be stalking Tyra, Em said glaring daggers at him. No, I just happen to be looking for a wolf costume; he replied giving her the same uncomfortable stare. OK, well, let's buy our costumes; I said turning to Emily. I started walking, but stopped when Em spoke. We have to take them of first, she laughed. I knew that, I lied with a deep red blush. I walked into the changing room, that could easily be mistaken for a bathroom. I took of the costume and put on my red tank top with denim jeans. We went up to the clerk and bought our costumes. Then we went to Walmart or as my friend here calls it mart-mart. We bought tons of snacks and music CDs. I drove the car to Em's house and we started to set up for the party. Alright, let's gets get ready; I shouted over my shoulder. Beat you up stairs, Em shouted startling me while getting head start. No way, you cheated; I said running after her. I beat you, she shouted. No y..., I said before being interrupted by Emily's mother. You girls better get ready the people are starting to get here, Mrs. Sorbet said. Thanks mom, Em said. We changed into our costumes and walked down the stairs. Everyone turned our way and gasped. The Dj announced us as the Double Angles, our nickname since third grade. We grabbed the part of our dresses by our waist and bowed. Well, hello my fellow fans, we shouted. They shouted and repeated our nickname. I am loving this, Em whispered in my ear. That makes two of us, I laughed. Sing a song, Em blurted out. What, I asked. Go sing a little something- something, she repeated. No, I said.

Yes
No
Yes
No
Yes
Nooo
Yesss
Fine, I shouted and got weird looks from the crowd. I walked onto the stage and grabbed the mic. Well, my little angle over there wants me to sing a song; I said to my adoring fans. This is to my dearest friends out there in the crowd, I said. I began to sing one of my favorite songs "Oath" by Becky G.

I know I drive you crazy, hmm sometimes

I know I call you lazy and that's most times

But you complete me and that's no lie

You are my tuxito and I'm your bow tie

We in the car sing sing singing our song

Rocking the birds and tearing

it down like we King Kong

And in my eyes you could do

do no wrong you got a best

friend sing sing along

Laughing so damn hard

Crashed your dads new car

All the scars we share

I promise I swear

Were ever you go just always remember

That you got a home for now and for ever

And when you get low just call me whenever

This is my Oath to you

Where ever you go just always

remember that you got a home for now and forever

And we'll never change no matter the weather

This is my Oath to you

I finished the song and got a standing ovation. Told you, you have a good voice, she said walking towards me. When, I asked. Ugh.. One of the other days, she questioned. Exactly, I said. Ah Ti-Ti, Eddy called. Wow now I have a nickname, I don't like it, I said but he didn't listen. Come on, I have a surprise for you; he pulled me away and into a bedroom. What is it, I asked. Right here, he said pushing me on the bed. He got on top of me and started grinding on me. Get off, I said trying to push him off. He grabbed my hands and pinned them above my head. Oh, come on you know you like it; he whispered in my ear. No I don't, I said and pulled my knees up kneeing him hard in the back. I got up and slapped him then walked out the room. I'm going for a walked, I told Emily. OK, hurry back; she said and gave me a bone crushing hug. I walked out the door deciding to walk around the block. I passed a dark alley and got drawn to it. What are you doing, curiosity killed the cat; I thought. But my body felt different, like I had to, so I did. Plus, that's the short cut to the ice cream store.
