OK I KNOW IM LATE WITH THE UPDATE IM SORRY ITS HARD TO WRITE IN MY CONDITIONS!
Chapter Fifteen.
Flashback, You're Still Good.
I cant believe I just did that! IDIOT! How could I betray my friends like that? I'm the real monster here. I was in my room, face down on my bed with a pillow over my head.
You are a horrible person Lightning and you should just die. I groaned into the bed and sat up. My head hurt like hell from fighting Jack and it made me feel like a complete idiot to have helped him at the end of it.
The wood door to my room creaked open and Damon's black hair and bright amber eyes peaked through.
“Can I come in?” he asked in a shaky voice. Blinking rapidly I nodded. “Yeah, of course,” I patted my bed. “Hey could you get me some Aspirin on the way up?” he just nodded and stiffly walked to bag. I scooted over slightly as he climbed into my bed.
“What's up? We haven't talked in awhile.” I asked after taking two pills dry.
“Nothing much just talking to some new people. I made a new friend he is really sweet and I think he is gay. I'm afraid to ask though.” he was blushing bright red, staring at his hands. I practically jumped out of bed with joy.
“Oh my gosh this is great! Finally some good news to hear.”
“Yeah, but what about you? You went missing two nights ago and I couldn’t even sleep, I was worried sick.” I groaned. I didn’t want to talk about it. Damon was my very first best friend and the last thing I want is to lose him with my stupid actions.
It's your fault, you helped him after you knew you shouldn't. I fought a growl as remembered the last conversation I had with myself.
I had hit him! Haha! Take that, you nasty freak!
I had just thrown the scalpel at him and was rather surprised I had hit him.
Oh, I wonder how much that hurt him. Didn't you say something before about not being a murderer like them. Cause that's basically what you are doing right now. Hey, maybe you scored the blow in the heart.
My heart sank. Had I hurt him? No, that doesn’t matter he hurt more people than I can return for. My heart still hurt. I had actually...hurt him...I'm not like them! I didn’t mean to-. Yes you did! You dived for it and you threw it! You wanted him to die. You didn’t care if it was painful and you didn’t care if he had died. You are a heartless soul and you tried to murder him!
I stared blankly at Jack's back. He was completely motionless.
Then what am I suppose to do? Do you expect me to help him? This man kills innocent people all so he can feed himself, that's a sick act and I can't just forgive him for it.
And yet you're ok with the fact that you would kill people if it meant feeding your mother; yourself even?
That's a whole different line! My mother isn’t a killer!
So your telling me you would be a killing monster if it meant feeding your mother or yourself.
For my mother yes, but I wouldn’t do something like that for myself.
A small chuckle echoed in my head. You and I both know hunger will make a person do insane things. Hasn't it occurred to you that he may be hungry? Plus you owe him for saving you back at the cabin.
I closed my eyes and clenched my hands. Fine...
Good girl.
“Lightning? Hellooooo?” Damon was waving a hand in front of my face with a concerned expression.
“Lightning what is up with you lately?” he asked his voice cracking. I sighed and put my face in my hands. “Honestly, I wish I knew myself. I'm slipping up in places I shouldn't, I'm a complete screw up and people are going to get hurt if they are to close to me. Damon, I'm losing my mind over this. I have mental arguments with myself and I don’t even understand why!”
I felt one of his arms go around my waist, pulling me towards him. Wrapping both arms around my stomach, he laid his head on my shoulder and sighed.
“If you think you're a screw up then think again. Remember when we first met in Kindergarten? Nobody wanted to be around me because I was weird and then the Principal hit me cause I was chasing boys around with a kissy face?” I nodded and giggled.
“Then I went home and told my dad about it and he was thrown in jail. Yeah I remember that, but what does it have to do with me not being a screw up?” he sighed and rolled his eyes. “I'm getting to that. Later that month the guy was bailed out of jail and he came after us. Remember how smart you were in getting us away from him?” I cocked my head to the side and smiled at the memory.
“Lightning! Lightning! He's back.” I looked up and leaped off of my favorite swing in little kindergarten playground. Damon was running out the door with eyes full of tears and his face was twisted in fear.
“Who's back?” I asked wiping away his tears. He rubbed his nose with the sleeve of his oversized shirt and started to ball is eyed out. “Principal Juan. He is back and he chased me around the school. I got away in the library but-” he was cut off by a low clatter in the school.
“LIGHTNING!” he screamed at the top of his lungs. I was scared I didn’t know what to do.
What would Daddy do? A voice rose in my head. What would Daddy do? OH he would hide and get proof that he is doing something wrong. I grabbed Damon's hand and started to run just as the door burst open to a red face Principal Juan.
“Come on run!” I yipped, dragging Damon with me as we ran for our lives. I ran on instinct for the fence wall, as far from the gate as possible. The fence was just big enough to fit little kids through, but he would have to walk around to the gate.
“Get through the fence, I will lead him off.” I commanded him. I bent down and picked up a handful of pebbles. I turned on my heels and threw them right into Juan's face. He cried out and brought his hands to his face.
I turned to find Damon had passed through the fence already and was waiting for me. I started my dash to the fence, only to trip over my long blue skirt and fall on my face.
“You!” Principal Juan's voice rose behind me. I stood and started to run again. I had tears in my eyes at this point and I was running for fear of my life and for Damon's.
The fence was getting closer, but I was no match for a grown man. He reached out and grabbed the jacket I had been wearing that cold day.
“DAMON RUN!” I screamed before he picked me up by the hood; chocking me.
“You ruined my life you little demon.” he spat in my face. I was crying now. Tears rolled down my cheeks in waves.
Unzip your jacket and kick him between his legs. That voice chimed in again. I sniffed and did so. I quickly unzipped my jacket, falling to the ground. I wasted no time. I reeled my leg back, before kicking it forward with everything I had in my small body.
He let out an agonizing scream and fell to the floor in a heap. I stood and stared for a moment before my little voice started to scream at me to run and hide.
I whipped around dashed through the fence with ease. I rounded the little corner and saw Damon with a teacher. I breathed a sigh of relief. Mrs. Jasper had seen the whole thing, she would take care of us.
Damon laughed out. “Yeah I still remember that, and I also remember how much of a screw up you weren't during that moment. Everyone makes mistakes Lightning, even you.” I smiled at him and leaned over and hugged him tightly.
“Damon, you don’t understand just how much I appreciate you.” he gave my shoulder a warm squeeze before kissing my cheek and streaking out. “Well,” he yawned. “I should hit the hay. Love ya Lighting.”
“Love you too.” I watched him walk out of the room, turning the light out behind him. I stared around the dark room for a moment before laying my head on my pillow. Sleep took over me in moments and I was happy to welcome that old dream again.
