Insane Hurricane

Dark Angel

I've never looked like this before, dressed black from head to toe (guns hidden under our petticoats lol I had to hi the 1975 fans) I am dark, I am unrecognisable.

They say youth should be be beautiful. I don't want or need no beauty. I'm not wasting my youth hidden behind a shadow. I've gotta stay relevant what a Joanna inspired thing to say, or even someone quiet within the populars like Lyla, who just sits there and kind of copies everyone else's action. Just remember that this is more than petty mean girl bitchiness that supposedly every teenage girl goes through. This is so much more than this. There is years of history between us, mental and physical destruction- poisoning my mind and destroying my body every single chance just so I can be liked.

I'm ridiculous. I'm on the balcony, waiting for Matt to pick me up, staring deep into the night sky of the 31st of October. The sky is jet black and there is a gloominess within the air. I'm pretending I go to some private school, one even more posh and filled with even more rich kids.

He comes and looks kind of proud with himself. He has a mask which covers most of his face. I'm cold and I'm shaking. "Wait," I say and stop because I'm feeling mixed emotions. I'm scared I'm being childish. What if things go horribly wrong and there is a dangerous outcome?

"Remember why you're doing this Kath," He says and then kisses me.

We walk in and the place is packed with all sorts of people. The girls have all decided to come as a slutty form of something. Matt confidently walks over  to Dean. "Hey Dean, remember me, we met at camp? I'm the one from blossom hill?" As soon as Dean would know he's from blossom hill school he'd think he's extremely rich and popular.

"Yeah, yeah course I do. You're um, oh the name will come to me soon, um-"

"Thomas. And this is my girlfriend Sophie."

Shit. My turn. "It's lovely to meet you Dean." I say sweetly gritting my teeth because the name Dean makes me want to vomit.

"Great. I'll get you two drinks." He totally buys it, what the hell?! When he walks away Matt and I are in hysterics because we are so fake it is hilarious, how do they believe this?

"I hate him," I whisper to Matt because being near Dean makes me livid. "I wouldn't wish death upon him but I just want him to get really badly hurt you know?"

"I love psycho you."

An hour or so passes and it's just mainly watching everyone get drunk or pretending to be pissed. I don't bother because I'm not here to impress anyone. Matt and I make up really sickly sweet stories of how we met which make people love us even more. I excuse myself so I can go to the bathroom and have a minute to myself.
But guess who's in there?

Joanna is in front of the mirror applying more red lipstick. She was a cat in a latex body suit and a pair of cat ears in her blonde hair. She had a cat eye painted perfectly. Be confident like how Matt was " Hi Joanna!" I say with a sugar high voice, "I can't believe I haven't been introduced to you yet, our boyfriends know each other. I go blossom hill."

She smiles back, "yeah course, Sophie right?"

I turn to apply my own lipstick in the mirror. "This is a great party, I wonder who's it is though."

"Oh I organised it. I do these huge Halloween parties like every year. I have huge parties anyway." This is hilarious, it really says something about Joanna and how she lies like all the time.

"Oh that's great," I try to hold back a giggle so that comes out like a squeak.

She turns and looks at me, she looks me up and down smiling so she looks friendly but really it's her way of trying to see what competition she has and how she can destroy them. "I love your costume! We should definitely go shopping together sometime. And your hair, how did you get it that colour? Are your boobs natural? They are great, I'm considering getting mine done but that stays between you and me. Wow your just so cute!" She showers me with fake meaningless compliments.

"Thank you Joanna, you are lovely. I'll see you around, I should get back to Thomas."

That was the most dreadful experience ever. Swallowing your words is the worst feeling. I go back to that corner everyone is lurking around and see Matt by himself, of course, rolling his eyes at everyone. He looks like a wallflowers but he's too scary to actually be one, he'd kill me if I told him that. "So I just met Joanna." I whisper

"I would of loved to see that, no fights yet then. Everyone's going outside for fireworks, shall we join them?"

"We shall indeed," I say and then realise that I left my lipstick in the bathroom. "I forgot my lipstick so I'll meet you out there okay?"

"Are you sure? Just incase anything happens," him showing concern? That's unusual and kind of cute.

"I'll be fine Matt." I say and kiss him.

I go get my lipstick, it's mac so I'm not sacrificing that, and leave the bathroom. As I walk round the corner I see a couple kissing like they haven't seen each other for years. I recognise the boy, Dean. But he's not with Joanna, he's with Arabella. Well, I thought she had some decency and didn't go round kissing her friends boyfriends. I feel bad for Joanna, but more importantly I have a dirty secret which could ruin everything. But of course only I would trip up over my own feet in that moment.

I crash to the ground and they see me. I run off and they run after me, at least I'm not wearing heels. I can hear them getting closer. "Hey bitch, get back here," Dean furiously shouts. I go through the back doors and see a group of people who I run towards, I go across the main road to get there. I briefly look over my shoulder, Dean is just coming through the exit door and Arabella is running across the road. I turn my head back round and just start waking because I'm not that far from all the people. Suddenly I hear a car beep, a swerve, a slam and a scream. I turn around and see the car drive off and a body on the road.

I stand there, completely shocked and useless not knowing what to do. The crowds have all poured over carrying me with them. People are crying, screaming, shouting. I assume someone has had the sense to call 999. I'm really scared. I'm shaking and I'm starting to lose my breath. "Matt!" I shout. No answer. "Matt!" I repeat, I really do need him.

"Kathleen!" The voice feels distant but I let out a sigh of relief. Suddenly I'm off the ground, I'm being carried, their hand over my mouth so I don't let out a scream. I try to bite their hand but it's held so tight over I can't open my mouth. They take me to an isolated area, it's in the back of the building. No one will hear my screams.

They put me down. They being Dean. He knows I know about him and Arabella so he's probably going to kill me now. Tears slip down my cheeks because I'm so frightened. "Hey, don't worry babygirl you are the one that got yourself in this mess. But don't worry, I can make the pain go away," his hand creeps to somewhere I don't want him near again.

"Please Dean. Please don't do this."

"Okay, I'll give you a good beating first how about that pumpkin?" I cry even more. "Ughhh stop crying, it's your own fault babygirl, now I'm going to give you a good treat."

In that moment deans head was being slammed into the wall. He was being beaten to a bloody pulp. Matt came after me! He remembered what I said about about Dean. He won't stop punching and although I like seeing him hurt I know I eventually need to stop Matt. Dean does fight back and gets Matt in the nose a few times but soon Dean is on the floor again.

He wipes my tears, " did he touch you?"

"No but he was close, you came at the right time."

We stand in front of Dean and take our masks off and watch the shock on his face when he realises who it actually is.
"It's you. If you dare say a word about what you saw we'll kill you and I mean it."

"What did you see?" Matt asks.

"Him and Arabella have a thing."

"Shit."

"Bitch!" Dean snaps

"Well touch my girlfriend again, not only will I kill you but I'll tell your girlfriend about that, also do you think she knows that you were the one to rape Kathleen?"

We leave him lying there in pain and I don't feel a single glimmer of hope. He got what he deserves. Karma is a bitch.

An
Happy Halloween! Hope you are having a great time whether it's at a party (hopefully not one like this) trick or treating, watching some good horror films with a shit load of sweets or just chilling and sleeping. All the best my loves.
