It was finally Sunday June 2, 1996. You wouldn’t believe what happened this morning. Eliet and I decided to tell my parents that we started dating and you know what their response was, “How nice”.
Me and Eliet were shocked while my mom and dad said that they knew it was going to happen eventually. What was that supposed to mean? I kept calm and glanced at them with witty smirk. Anyway now its 6:30 pm and I’m getting ready for my first date with Eliet. I am so excited and nerves. It’s funny how I get nerves seeing him now. I’m still not use to it.
I told Lyra about us on Saturday and she was happy for me. I can’t wait for today. Eliet is running errand for my mom so he told me to wait for him in front of the movies theater benches. My mom told him to get these documents she needed to review for her job as a lawyer and she works 30 minutes away. Eliet has a motorcycle now because for his last birthday my parents bought him that as a way to show that there glad that he’s better now. The phone rang. I grabbed the house phone and it was Lyra.
“Hello?”
“Yeah it’s me Lyra. I have to tell you something.”
“What is it?”
“I saw Eliet a couple minutes ago because me and my parents are coming back from new jersey remember and he told me to call you because his phone wasn’t working. He said to tell you that he was going to run late so meet him in May-brook park ok?”
“All right thanks Lyra”
“No problem”
I grabed my bag and looked at the time, 7:30pm. I looked at the mirror and I was wearing flats and a green dress covered with drawings of white flowers with a blue jean jacket. I ran out my house and headed to the park.
When I reached the park no one was there. I was completely empty. I sat on the swings to pass the time. I kept looking at the time. It was 8:06. I wonder where he is. I’m worried. I slowly kept swinging and I looked up. The moon was beautiful. I wish he were here.
Suddenly someone attacked me from the back and covered my face with a bag. When I woke up I was sitting in the bench of the same park tide up and being held by to strangers behind me. In front of me was the person I least expected.
“Lyra?”
“Hi Starla. I see you met my friends.”
“What are you doing?” She slaps me aggressively and then she punched me. I spit out a little blood.
“Do you have any idea how long I wanted to do that? No? Judging by your face you don’t know. Well I just want to clarify that I was never your friend. To hear you wine all the time about your life and your problems with Eliet was so irritating. Sometimes I thought I was gunna lose my act but I held it together for this long.”
“I don’t understand.”
“Let me make it clear for you. I was never your friend! I just became friends to get with Eliet but he rejected me. But he won’t this time!” She gives me evil grin.
“What you going to do?”
She looks at her watch. “I have no time to explain it to you. I have a date with Eliet. Well see you later! Boys you know what to do.”
“No!” I screamed and she then left. I was beaten every few minutes, enough for me to still have consciousness but still feel all of it.
(Eliet’s perspective)
Where is she? I feel like something is wrong. I look around and there was no sight of Starla. A random guy with glasses came up to me and gave me a letter. I looked at him confused. “If you want to know where your girlfriend is than read it.” Without hesitation or thought I grabbed him and shoved him onto the pole next to the bench. “Where is she?” The strange guy was scared and nervously said; “look dude all I know is that Lyra gave me this-” “Lyra?” I opened the letter quickly.
Hi Eliet. You’re so cute when you’re mad. You must be angry right
about now and your just anxious to see Starla. Well if you wanna see
her your gunna have to come and get me. But your gunna have to do
some persuading to get your Star back. Meat me in the Old Shelter.
Well I’ll see you soon!
-xoxo Lyra
I threw the letter on the ground and ran straight to the shelter. I wonder why out of all places she picked there? I stopped for a moment. So she knows that we are dating. This is her payback huh? For rejecting her that day when she came to the house. She hated me ever since and her obsession just kept growing.
I kept running until I made it to the Old Shelter. It was this old place that we found as kids and later on told Lyra. No one lived there. It was this small place where we would go and eventually became popular for hanging out for other people in our school. It became a place to hock up too but then It was locked for months and no one new why.
I opened the door as it creaked. When I went inside I saw something that I never expected. Small white lights covering every inch of the sealing, a bed to my left next to a drawer, and to my right were a bunch of pictures in the wall of me with other people.
Lyra was leaning onto the drawer smiling directly at me. Her hair covered the right side of her face. She was wearing red lipstick and violet dress. She looked at me in a seducing way.
“I’ve been planning this for a long time Eliet. I even decorated this room and locked it up so those stupid hormonal teens wouldn’t come in. All that for this one moment.” She smiles. I walk closer to her.
“Where is she!” I scream.
“Aw don’t get that pretty face all wrinkly now.”
“Shut up!”
She laughs and says; “Well fine by me if you want get straight to business and pleasure. So here’s what’s going on, Your Starla is currently in a park being beaten to death by a few of my friends I met along the way…”
I race toward her and stop when she says; “Don’t do anything that would make the situation any worse...” she puts her fingers under my chin to intimidate me. She wanted to show me that she had control. I held back and gripped my hand.
“If you want her back your gunna have to do something for me.”
“And what is that?”
“I want you to have sex with me.” She said casually. I looked at her like she was delusional.
“ I know it’s your first time and all…Eliet” she giggled.
“And judging by your tone you aren’t.” I wittedly responded. She got serious and gripped my shirt.
“Yeah because I was raped…” she screamed. I was so surprised. She never talked about her personal life. I mean the only thing me and Star knew was that her parents died. She looked down and then she went back to normal as if nothing happened.
“Let’s not ruin this by talking about the past. So what are you going to do Eliet? The doors locked and the key is connected to the zipper in back of my dress.” She looked at me with seduction in her eyes. I Pushed her to the wall and took a small pause. I looked at her eyes and kissed her with force at first. Things began to fall from the drawer to the floor. We ignored it.
I pulled her up moved her up against the wall. I kept kissing her and I moved her arms up griping them to show that I was in control. She wrapped her legs around my waist. She took off my shirt and I started to kiss her neck while I put my arms around her back. She was enjoying this.
