Chapter One- Black Out

Chapter One (A week later.)

Katie’s POV

“Steve” hasn’t called me since the first time. That night I was terrified. I couldn’t go back to sleep. After “Steve” hung up I looked at the screen on my phone and saw that it was 3:51. Since I couldn’t sleep I decided to start to get ready for school. This morning when I woke up I felt like I was being watched again. I couldn’t fall back asleep so I went to make breakfast for everyone. Since there were so many people in the house Mom said once a week one of us has to make breakfast for everyone. My mom might be a prostitute, but she says she only does it to help keep a roof over our heads and shoes on our feet. I got out the eggs and made six over easy eggs and made six scrambled eggs. I grabbed the loaf of bread from the bread box and started making toast. I put the eggs back into the fridge and grabbed the butter. Then I walked into the pantry and started looking for the cinnamon and sugar. When I finally found it I buttered up the toast and sprinkled the cinnamon and the sugar on. I grabbed a stack of left over pancakes from yesterday and heated them up. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw Jerry walk into the kitchen. Jerry instantly walked to the fridge and grabbed the bacon. He found a frying pan in the cabinet and as soon as the pan was hot he put the bacon in. Then Jerry walked over and gave me a hug. I laughed and said,” The bacon is more important than your sister huh? How nice are you? I wake up early to make you breakfast and this is how you repay me?” Jerry rolled his eyes,” You always were the dramatic one in the family.” I gasped,” Me? Sorry, but you must have me confused with my twin.” Jerry chuckled and helped me finish making breakfast. When everyone came downstairs they immediately made a mad grab for the bacon. I slapped their hands away,” Nobody gets any bacon until I get my breakfast. Or next time I’ll just make frozen waffles.” Everyone withdrew their hands from the bacon and I grabbed three pieces. Next I grabbed over easy eggs, a pancake, and a piece of toast. Then I stole the ketchup from Jerry and put some on my eggs. Everyone in my family loves ketchup with theirs eggs. No one remembers who started it, but we have always had eggs with ketchup. As soon as I finished breakfast I went up to my room to get ready for school. I quickly pulled on some skinny jeans, a bright green tee shirt that said “Read my lips. Screw you”, and my freshman sweat shirt. I pulled on my favorite bright green converse, grabbed my bag and car keys. As I walked out the door I yelled bye to everyone. I was nervous about today. It’s the anniversary of the day my day got arrested for murdering Kevin Davis. I pulled into my regular parking spot at school and made sure I locked the car. When I walked to into school everyone was giving me dirty looks. Figures. All of sudden as I turned the corner to go to my locker someone punched me in the face. The last thing I remember was someone screaming,” You stupid b*tch!”  Then I blacked out.
