Kat is a shy bookworm. Ash is captain of the football team. How could their worlds possibly collide? It all starts with a party that gets out of hand. A small friendship blooms and it quickly turns into a beautiful romance. They seem to be inseparab...
Today is Tuesday, the last day of break before school starts up again. I am taking history-even though it is boring-and we are learning about diseases and disorders. I have already done some research on a few things so, hopefully, the class will be easier. The dance is tonight and I have nothing to wear. Ash insists that he takes my dad and I home because of what happened last time. My foot still hasn't healed.
"We're here." Ash said.
"Thank you, son."
So, it turns out that Mr. Feldman, the janitor, never actually followed me home. He lives across the street from me. He just went home early that day because his kids were sick with the flu.
Oops.
We go inside, Ash following behind.
"Hello Kat." mom starts from the stairs.
She gives me the death stare. If looks could kill, I'd be dead six times already. I gulp nervously.
'I'm done for', I think.
She comes down the stairs and stops in front of me. She lifts her hand and I flinch. Before she can hit me hard enough, dad grabs her hand and her nails viciously scratch at my face, making it bleed. He then pulls it down.
"God Jamie, no wonder she ran away!" He screams.
"Tom, let me go!" She tries to pounce on me but my dad holds her back.
"No, I have had just enough of you abusing my little girl!"
She gives in, dropping her hands down to her sides, then putting her hands in her back pockets.
"I'm sorry honey, can I have a hug?" She asks.
He nods and she walks towards him, hands out. But by the time I notice the knife in her hand, it's too late. I try to say something, but the words are caught in my throat. She stabs my dad in the shoulder and then pulls the knife back out of it.
"Dad!" He falls to the floor, bleeding out. I run to go get some paper towels when my mom stops me and holds the knife up to my heart.
"And where do you think you're going, honey?"
"You are a horrible woman." I manage to whisper. I try to shove past her but she pulls me back by the arm, digging her fake nails into my skin in the process. I yelp in pain and wince. When I open my eyes I see Ash standing behind my mom with an empty vase in his hands. I continue to wince but manage a little smile. She loosens her grip a little and gives me a confused look. The blood is rushing down my arm and it hurts like hell.
"You're not going to get away with this." My smile dies down a little and turns into a smirk.
"Oh, but honey. That's where you're wrong. Your father can do nothing about this." She smirks back at me.
"Who said anything about dad?" My smirk grows incredibly wider as Ash walks closer to my mother. She turns around quickly, "Wha-". She gets hit in the side of the head and falls to the floor, scratching my arm on the way down.
Great, now I'm bleeding even more! This is the best feeling ever!
Just so you know, that was sarcasm. I look up at Ash and smile lightly. My dad grunts lightly and my attention goes back to him. He is standing now and bandaged. He is smirking at us and we all look at each other. I just start burst out laughing and Ash and my dad join in. Tears start falling down my eyes and burning my cheeks. When I look up, Ash has stopped laughing and looked really serious. He wipes my tears away and picks me up bridal style. He walks up the stairs and brings me to my room. He drops me on the bed and lays next to me. My dad is still downstairs calling the police.
"Wear protection!" He chants from the bottom of the stairs. I laugh and yell back.
"I don't plan on messing up my sheets!" Ash looks at me and laughs. He knows I'm not going to do it. Maybe when I'm out of high school. But not now, not yet. He respects me for that and that's one reason why I love him.
I love him.
I sit up and lean over him, kissing his head and then lifting him off the bed. We go downstairs and my dad and Ash talk about sports while I grab the car keys.
"Let's go, you guys." I chuckle at them and push them out the door. I leave it unlocked and my mom sits up still slightly dizzy.
"Wait! Don't leave me here! I love you guys! I promise I'll be better! Hello!?... Hello?"
The police come to the house and arrest her. We all get in my car. Yes, it's mine now. My dad thought I deserved it since I just saved his friggin' life. So, yeah. We'll come back though, this time as a family. We are only going out to eat! Or are we? I chuckle to myself and start the car then pull out of the driveway and turn the corner to the road.
"And we're off!" I yell and hear Ash do a 'Woo Hoo!' in the backseat with a goofy smile on his face. I pull to a stop when the light turns red. My dad looks at me from the passenger seat and smiles genuinely at me. I lean over and kiss his cheek. In the corner of my eye, I see Ash's mouth drop open with a fake disappointed look on his face. I just smirk and lean over to the back of the car and give him a kiss on the cheek, laughing at his jealousy.
Sorry this chapter was so short guys! I wanted to get something to you before the week ends. My goal is to make one every week, I'll try. I promise! :P
-Lots of love and pandas, Kikikat14
