Treacherous Love

Chapter 8 ~ Accepting The Challenge

I hop up the familiar curb, the yellow stripes seem all too known. I look up to the empty sky, but it was filled with a far-away blue sea, but when you think about it, we are standing in it. Standing in the sea we call the sky. The sound of cars rushing by on the highway, that ended just down the road taking a left or right at the "Peaceful Tree." A beautiful tree that led you to deciding which way to take, we thought. Well atleast Aspen, Connor, Louis, and I.

The cars passed by out of the corner of my eyes, sunshine reflecting off of them, the miniature sun in it's signature place on every car.

I felt so out of place, just watching this tiny world around me roll by, in the town I've been stuck in my whole life. So small.

I start to walk, looking down at my dirty white converse, as I take one step after another, to the song in my mind, Tattoo, by Jordin Sparks.

I kept the undeceiving thought on my mind, that if Nash, Hayes, Matt, or Cameron tried to pull anything on me, I would have to fight back.

I just don't think that Connor or Louis get it. What they could do to me, if I disobey. So many things. So many horrible things. I imagine the horrible images in my mind, of me being swept away by them, stolen, Aspen getting hurt, me being forced to be with them, Nash sharing my secret and me being sent to an asylum, then torturing my brothers, practically my only family.

Tears started to fill my eyes at the thought. Uncontrollably, warning to spill over, but I could not let them fall, Nash, Hayes, Matt, and Cameron would just smirk to themselves and take advantage of my weak state, once they saw me arrive through the doors of the school. Where they would most likely be waiting, or be playing a game of "hide-and-seek" until they find me.

The worst part though, was that, even if they didn't know my astonishing secret, I would still fear them. Cause fear gets you like that, lurking in dark corners of your life, waiting to come out at you and make you shudder in your own skin. They would still patricide me, abuse me, scar me and hunt me down. It was a running fear that I could escape, but was brought back to everyday, not my own fault. I had previously had to take days off of school last year, due to the pain and. abuse their evil group put me through, but now I know that was just child play, the real torture begins now, where things get serious. Highschool, eh.
