Eventual Serenity

Chapter 6: Truce?

The crazy bastard put a bag over my head and smacks me over his shoulder. I really wouldn't want to know what this looked like from a pedestrians point of view... I feel a piece of clothing going across my back side, at least he's being nice and covering me up. He walks for about 2 minutes until I'm dropped suddenly onto a hard surface. I was in too much pain to resist when suddenly the little light that was coming through the bag was suddenly darkness when I heard a huge slam. I viciously start screaming and patting around where I am. I can't believe it, I'm in the boot of the red corolla. This made me furious I just wanted to rip his throat out!

"LET ME OUT, PIG!" I begin screaming when I hear him start blasting music to blur out my words. I think this is the point of no return, I mean, if this guy was going to kidnap me, he lives just across the street, escaping home would be easy.

The car ride was way too long , who knows where he was taking me but even though this guy ran me over and was the source of my childhood bullying, I trust he's not going to murder me. Cute, right?

The car pulls into a drive way of some sort and comes to a halt. I hear the trunk open but I'm still too scared to move incase he's selling me to some drug lord rapist man that he owes money to. Joel picks me up like we were on our honeymoon and takes the brown, itchy bag off my face. I start to blink viciously to adjust to the sunlight. I actually recognise this place.

I'm home?

"Ok, so let's get this straight. You chase me, tackle me pretty hard, put a bag over my head, carry me to your car, lock me in the trunk, don't say a word... Just to end up taking me to my own home?" I said with a confused face, I don't know what's this guys deal.

"See, I don't think you understand... You're a psycho, tried to kill me, hate me so much because 'I RUINED YOUR LIFE', do you really think I could just say 'hey Rose, come with me, I'll take you home?' and at that, you would just listen to me?!?"

He says this in a funny but vicious tone.

"Plus, it was funny and added dramatic effect, I'm just glad the police didn't see me.."

He carried me up the stairs for no reason, pretending I'm a cripple or something. I'm not complaining though, this guy was pretty damn fine and the fact he's giving me attention, it makes me feel good.

I know what you're thinking 'you just hated this guy 2 seconds ago?!?'

Well, I think the fact that he took me home and away from the hospital means he's a good guy. This sick little relationship can grow eventually, I suppose... Maybe.

All I know now is, this is a truce. This little 'Rose and Joel adventure times' is going to be a long one!

He walks us inside and throws me onto the couch to go kiss and hug my mother... That ain't right man. I look at them in disgust and go to get changed out of the hospital gown, ignoring my mother who ignored me for 3 months in the hospital when I was trying to recover.

"Not even a hello?" My mum says from afar. I completely ignore her and try not to yell.. I don't like yelling at my mother but how could you abandon your own child?! Crazy bitch. I walk into my poster filled room and slam the door. 7 months later and my room is still dirty, this is really gross.

"That smell is still here?!? Oh my goodness, crack open the window or call the police, I think there's a dead guy in here!" I say to myself as I try not to barf. I run to my window and slam it open to see sunlight come across my whole room.

I look down at the floor.. Men's clothes? I look at them, start to investigate my room.

"Indent in my bed... Lynx deodorant on my night stand... Corona bottles in my bin?' Oh my god, it suddenly hit me.
