Dark Love

Chapter 12

"This place isn't home and never will be!" I screamed wildly at my mother, tears running down my cheeks. 'Why did we have to move here? Why couldn't we just have stayed and never have moved? My life was perfect there...Here everyone thinks that I'm a complete loser! I miss my friends...my old house...my old life...But...but really I miss my dad the most...I remember...the days when we used to sing all the time while we were in the fields...so the work would go faster...I wish he was back...standing up for me now...' I thought as I held her gaze.

"I will not stand for this disrespect! You will not talk to your mother that way! Sabrina Mae Zules, I know I taught you better!" my mother snapped with a piercing gaze, tearing through me.

Anger bubbled inside me at dangerous high levels as I began to think, 'I hate her...I truly hate her...' I stared into her eyes, while crossing my arms over my chest. "No! I'm not going to stand around, while you treat me like this! I don't like you treating me like a five year old with no brain...Well, MOM, I'm not five! I'm eighteen! I'm old enough to make my own choices...I don't need you doing that for me!" I yelled nastily back, almost spitting in her face.  It felt good to vent after all the times she had made me suffer.

Hurt displayed across her face, making me wonder for a second if I had crossed the too far line; but it was too soon replaced with a look of sheer evil. "If you think that you're so big and bad...Why don't you just move back to your perfect world? Because apparently you don't need me!" she spat in my face.

"Fine, I'm not loved here anyways..." I cried before racing out into the cold, winter air. Snowflakes softly hit my burning face, while I shoved my hand into my pocket and searched for the keys to my banged-up jeep. It had been the last present that I had received from my dad. He bought it for my sixteenth birthday and we spent the whole day just driving around.

My eyes began watering at the memory and my heart decided that I had to revenge him! My mind raced through plans on how to find the men that had thoughtlessly taken his life. They couldn't just take him from me without expecting a fight.

I stir back to reality when I felt my wheels slip on black ice. My head screamed, 'Not good! Not good!' I slammed my foot on the brake before remembering that was the exact opposite of what I should have done. I glanced around panicked. 'This can't be happening!' I looked up at the street light before me and I began to scream in my mind, 'Of course, its a red light!'

I braced myself as far back in my seat and laid on the horn, hoping it will stop the other cars; but I knew in my heart that it was too late. On both sides, cars were flying toward me as fast as bullets. "Lord help me!" I cried out, while the car to my right slammed into my car. I released another sharp cry as I felt the impart; then I got thrown to the left as another hits my side. I hit my head on the steering wheel and I felt my body go numb, while the world around me started to swirl. I saw millions of pictures and memories flash before my eyes like a slideshow of my life. One second, it was my family, together happy and alive. I wished that we were still like that; then it changed to the memory of me dancing in a field of daisies like I had gone crazy(it had been the disease called love). Will chased after me before suddenly grabbing me around my waist and we topple down the hill. We were on top of each other laughing and loving every moment. After reaching he bottom of the hill, I feared of losing the moment and to never see it again; but I knew with Will that was impossible. His gentle hand brushed my hair from my face before instantly pressing his lips against mine. My first kiss! I wasn't really sure of what I should do, but I knew that I liked it. I tried to hold onto the scene, but it too faded away.

The next memory appeared and I could tell something was wrong. I was in a dark alley with my dad by my side. We were sneaking around the buildings and boxes; then I saw them...the devils that had killed my father. "Run Dad! Please run!" I screamed at him, but he is frozen like a deer in the headlights. 'Oh no...they see us...This is not happening...I wont watch him die while I live...' I swear to myself as I leap, slamming into him as the trigger goes off. I see the murders scowl as my dad yells; then the bullet hits its mark and my vision went black...
