The Breakup

My first cover page of Battling Fate. ^^^ wasn't my favorite though 😂

Loretta?  Caleb knew how much I hated that skanky bitch. Hell, the whole damn school knew I hated her.  She always walked in her pathetic 5 inch stilettos, and her crappie Versace clothing, chewing everyone that wasn't on her click list up and spitting them out. Every time I'd see that slut walk by me, I'd like to test her balance in those heels and would "accidentally" trip her. It's not like she never deserved it.

As a child, she would pretend to want to talk to me just so she could find some way to humiliate me in front of everyone. She even posted pictures on Instagram. I'm not gonna dwell on the facts, but most of those pictures involves me with food all over my face, water all over my pants, my body being soaked with mud and rips all over my clothes (don't ask me why) and paint covering my hair. So I think I have a very good reason for being as upset as I am now.

As I walked up to the oh so affectionate couple, rage enveloped through me like steaming water being poured into an empty glass, slowly filling the inside of me until the boiling water overflowed.  I walked towards them taking one step after the next until I felt Cece's hand on my shoulders, stopping me.  "Calm down," she said in an anxious voice.  "Your eyes are beginning to glow."

I quickly snapped my eyes shut as I tried to calm myself. Cece was my best friend in which I couldn't ask for a better one. Which is why I told her about my "inner beast" problems ever since my father's death, well, against my mother's wishes of course. I knew she wouldn't tell and would help me if I started to lose control.

"Ok," I said as I took a deep breath. "I'm fine, I just want to reason with them." I walked calmly to Caleb and Loretta still sucking faces and cleared my throat causing them to look up at me.

"What the hell Caleb," I said through clenched teeth.

"I, uhh," he said shakily. Then cleared his throat and tried again.

"Look Kora, I like you, but Loretta's better. It's not me, it's you.  It's like you never even want to look at me ever since your dad died. I understand that it's sad and stuff, but, you know me, and know that I have needs. And since then, you haven't been giving me what I want, but Loretta is." 

My hands started shaking as I clutch then into fits. I closed my eyes and breathe deeply. "So you cheated on me, and now you want to leave me for, that," I tilted my head towards Loretta indicating that I didn't think of her any differently from a dead cow.

"Hey," she said with the shrug of her shoulders.  "At least I have what it takes to keep a man." She looked at me for a few seconds then added. "Aww, is that a heart broken expression I see?  Looks like another good picture for "Kora's wall of shame" on Instagram. Oh and don't worry, you were never gonna be able to take care of Caleb's needs. I mean since your dad died, you and your mom are barely able to take care of your own needs."

With every word Loretta said, it shredded every ounce of control I had. Tugging at the string of my containment, unwinding it until the very last sentence. I would have been able to control myself, but she disrespected my family, and that's what caused me to lose every ounce of sanity I had left. All I could see was red as the monster burst its way out inside me and threw myself at her.

I was able to control a tiny bit the beast. Not letting my fangs or my claws grow, but I couldn't keep the violence out as I hit punch after punch on her perfect face, and slammed her repeatedly to the lockers making her cry in pain.

As I continued to beat her, I could see the blood pouring from her nose and mouth and felt Cece pulling me back, yelling at me to control myself.  I could hear Caleb yelling at me to stop hitting his girlfriend and tried to pull me off too. I angrily turned around and threw my fist at him for trying to stop me on my attack. I felt more hands tugging me back, and the more hands I felt, the angrier I got, and more punches I threw, knocking them to the ground.  Finally the pulling stopped, and I slowed down.

After a few more punches, my anger finally died down and I forced the monster inside me back deep, deep, deep inside me.  As I became calm enough, I realized that half the school was surrounding me, at least eight people on the ground and so was the principal.  I didn't even get a chance to say anything before he expelled me from the school.

At this point, sadly, they've already called my mother and now she's on her way here. "Great," I thought. "First day back from winter break and I've already hurt a bunch of people, and it not even my fault. My mom's not gonna like that."
