The Tale Of Harley

Part 1

"Harley! I need your help!" my step sister screams. I throw a pillow over my head and wait for her voice to go away, but unfortunately, magic doesn't exist. So her nagging continues. For five minutes, I hear her annoyingly pitchy voice go on and on. Well, until I decide to take some action.

"For everything holy!" I finally get up from my comfy bed and walk down the stairs. The glass patio doors reveal the 'wicked stepsister' outside by the oak tree in the back yard.

"Harley!!!" I hear Nicole scream again.

I step outside in my Spongebob Pajamas. "What!" I reply, not in the mood for interaction. Especially with Nicole. She points up, and my gaze follows in the direction of her pointer finger. I see Nicole's cat, Jojo, sitting on a branch. I gasp in terror.

"Um, why is your cat covered in sparkles?" I ask. You could see Jojo in a pink outfit covered in glitter and sequins and looking down at Nicole, glaring at her with typical-cat-distaste. The sun bouncing off of the sequins decorated on Jojo's outfit made her into an irritable, furry, disco ball.

I look over at her, hoping to gain the answers to my many questions. "There is a pet contest and if you win you get backstage passes to a 1D concert!"

I narrow my eyes at her. "Didn't that one guy leave? What was his name again? Zack? Mayn? Pay-"

"Don't you mean Zayn?"

I gasp. "Oh yeah!"

Nicole shakes her head in disappointment.

"Whatever. Anyway, could you get Jojo for me? I keep trying to persuade her with some treats but she just won't come down!" I look up at Jojo and she looks into my eyes and straight into my soul. I look back down at Nicole.

"I don't know... she looks pretty comfortable up there."

"Please I-I'll clean the dishes for 3 months." She pleaded. I look at her to Jojo and back about three times before I finally give in.

"Fine..." I start the climb the tree.

When I reach Jojo I look into her eyes. "Sorry...better you than me." I whisper to her.

I slowly make my way towards her. "Here kitty... I hate washing dishes so get your butt down there!" Jojo backs up. She meows as if saying 'Please don't do this! I have a family to feed!'. I hear a snap. Jojo and I share the same look as to say, "Uh oh."

The branch snaps and Jojo and I fall down. As I was falling I was thinking about my weird life.

I've had a semi perfect life. I had a sister who abused her cat just for her to see a band that has no future together, I ride in a car that had rusting spots here and there, but it was still my most prized possession, And a half finished taco that I started eating yesterday that I will never be able to finish.

My $2.25 in my pockets and my rusting beauty will be given to my sister, Nicole, was set on annoying me to death, but now she will never get the chance. Goodbye Cruel World.

I shut my eyes tight.

After a few seconds we touched the ground. "Oof!" The wind was knocked out of me.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow." I repeat, hoping make the person who caused my pain to feel any type of remorse.

After all, Nicole is the one who bribed me up this stupid tree.

I see Nicole's shoes run towards us in slow motion.

Is this real? Does she really care about me? A tear starts to build up in the corner of my eye.

"Oh my baby! Jojo, are you okay?!" And, the moments gone.

Nicole starts to walk away with Jojo on her shoulder. As I look up, dazed, I see Jojo and she looks at me. Her eyes holding a malicious intent that said, 'You betrayed me. Keep your eyes open while you sleep.' I can just imagine her clawing at my face while I lay on my bed, unsuspecting. I shudder.

I slowly get up and hobble to the house with a probably broken femur.
