I Killed My Mother

Chapter 14

Sunday, 2015/02/12, 08,14
Streets of California.

Not knowing where I was running to, I turned left into a street unknown to me.

People who were standing outside their houses were staring. People actually do that sometimes. They just stare.

Running like that reminded me of when I was in my schools track team. Leaving all modesty aside, I was good at it. Perfect times all.

I ran faster. Imagining nothing but a finish line ahead. I was closer now. I could feel it. My surroundings changes and all of a sudden I was on the track of my old school in Indiana. The students of my school cheered as I put more gaps between me and the competition. I was five strides away from the finish line when I heard a loud hoot that brought me back to reality where there was no finish line nor chanting students.

I turned left towards the sound of the hoot and an SUV was coming my way. I just stood there in the middle of the road and froze in shock. I was surely dead.

The hooting got louder and more frequent as the car came towards me. Why wasn't it stopping?

Then next there was nothing.

----------

"...move away. She is still alive, just unconscious," the voice was female and very much familiar.

"..Thank God. I thought I killed her. I was scared Shitless," this was was male. It sounded relieved that it hadn't killed me.

My eyes fluttered open and Jessica's squealing made me grimace in pain. My head was throbbing and my hands were scrapped.
"What the fuck were you thinking Kate! You can't just stand there in the middle of the road like that," suddenly she yelling and not squealing in joy.

"..Uh," I couldn't form a coherent sentence because my head hurt so much "I'm really sorry I almost killed you," the guy apologized. It was Spencer from last night. What happened to him convertible? Maybe he was the type with seven cars.

"Why were you even running like that. You aren't even geared up properly?" Jess questioned.

"Dan. Because Dan Jessica," I layed out the obvious.

"What did he down," she didn't seem surprised. Her reaction was neural. Almost as if she was expecting it.

"He called me a bitch," there was no need for further details. My head hurts man!

"You must be pissed then," Spencer asked. No, more like stated. I nodded my response and he waa on his feet in seconds.

"I may have a cure for that. Let's go," he commented.

Jessica helped me up and into the back seat of Spencer's Mercedes.

"What were you guys doing this side anyway?" 'Tis strange that they would be here. I wasn't not familiar with their friends but I was sure I'm the was only one they know this side.

"We came to you. Turns out that photo I took isn't enough. I need the other half too," Jessica replied, conforming my theory of them knowing just me this side.

"Oh okay. But you can't take the hard copy. You'll have to take a picture of it. We don't want to raise any suspicion."

"Don't worry about katey. I got this," Jess seemed confident.

After that there was silence in the car. Comfortable silence. It didn't last long though because Spencer turned on the radio.
After fifteen minutes of music. I could tell he had a versatile taste in music.

The first song was Coffin by Black Veiled Brides.
Then No Role Modelz by J Cole.

The rest of it was basically just the same.

"Where are you guys taking me?" I questioned once we turned into the driveway of a rundown building that look abandoned.

"You'll see. It's gonna help channel your emotions," Spencer smirked into the rearview mirror.

"I was doing just fine running around nowhere," really it wasn't nowhere. I had memorized the direction to the house when Dan drove us to the mall.

Dan.

Daniel.

Daddy.

Even his name just creates a swirl of bad emotions in me. I hate how he has the power to make me loathe him so quickly. Sometimes I feel like his kindness at the mall yesterday waa just an act. A part of me hopes I'm wrong but the other careful and cautious part of me knows I'm right.

When I entered the building, I was welcome with a thick smell of sweat and shit. It smelled bad. Even Spencers face revealed that, though I'm sure he has been her a million times before. In the building were two rings. One that they use in MMA fighting and another on WWE.

"You gonna learn how to kickbox today Kate. Can you throw a punch?" Jessica and I laughed at the words that came out of his mouth.

"What?"

"Can she throw a punch?" Jessica laughed it off. I went over to the WWE ring because it had a punching bag towering over it.

I stood there for a fee seconds. I was a bit rusty but you never know unless you try right.

"Come on Kate!" Jessica encouraged.

I threw a punch at the bag but instead I hurt my knuckles. It was pathetic really. The bag didn't even move. I needed motivation. I thought back to why I was here in the first place.

Dan.

I picture the bag as Dan.

I threw a right fist into it. Then the left. Then the right again three times.
The left foot came. Adrenaline took over me. I was beating the back.

I see from the corner of my eye that I was starting to attract a crowd.

"...Yeah. Kate. You doing great." Jessica screamed to me.

People were studying me. They sure weren't expecting me to be this...wild. and honestly, nor was I.

"Who the fuck is that?" I heard someone ask. The voice was husky. It sounded familiar.

"That my friend is a beast," Spencer answered. Amusement full in his voice.

I got too tired to throw another punch or kick. So I stopped and waited for the punching bag to stop moving.

I was breathing heavily. Sweat all over me.

People had already scattered by the time I turned around. When I did I finally saw who was asking about me.

Mr "I'm No Rapist" guy.

Hey guys. Thank you for the comments I have gotten so far. They are much appreciated.
New voters are JessicaArdita and abombs. (See if you vote and comment you get a shout out ;) you call it bribery, I call it motivation)
Please keep on voting and commenting.

To clear out some confusion about the picture (@miihnoschh and others)
It's a family photo of her Dan and her mother and some other strange baby she never knew about. Kate wants to know who it is and why there is two of her in one picture. (Because the one she had her mom said she was the baby her dad was holding and the other one Dan had he said it was her on her moms lap.) Is it clear now? If you still confused just inbox me and I'll explain as best I can.
