Senior Year ^-^

chapter 4: what the hell just happened?

I wake up on the floor of Aubreys' room, cramped and disoriented. I look at the clock above Aubreys' bed. FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU-..........its only two thirty. i got up off the floor, got dressed in a shredded pair of black skinnys, and a "put your teeth to the curb" Motionless in White tee. I slipped on my four inch heels, and walked out into the biting frost towards the bird. I climbed in, and started her up. Where am i going? I need to see if my dad has sobered up yet, and if its safe to go back to my own home. But first....i wonder if Helix is up....hmmm.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i pull up to helixs' house, and turn off the bird. I climb out, and walk up to his door. I knock softly. after a few moments, the doors open to a grumpy, and tired Helix. He gave me a weird look.

I said, "i need your help."

He looked down, then said, "be right back...i need pants on." he blushed, then closed the door.

I laughed and waited. a few moments later, he came down, wearing a pair of black skinnys and a falling in reverse tee.

we climbed into the bird, and i started towards my house. on the way, he asked, "So whatdya need MY help for so early in the morning?"

"i need to go back to my house to see if...everythings back to normal, and if not im going to need you as back-up if something happens while im grabbing clothes if homes still bad."

he looked over at me, and said, "Is this about your bruise?"

i nodded, and he grimaced, "if i may ask, who was it?"

"my dad...he was drunk. its happened before, its no big deal." I said, griping the steering wheel so hard my knuckles turned white.

"I will help, but on one condition...you tell me next time he does it, okay?"

i looked at him weird, but nodded. He grabbed my phone, and programmed his number in.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i unlocked the door to my house, and we stepped inside. My dad was asleep, a bottle still in his hand from the night before, on the couch. we tip-toed up the stairs to my room, but apparently not quiet enough. my dad stirred, and the stairs creaked. He shot up, and we sprinted the rest of the way to my room. I slammed the door closed, and locked it. we backed up from the door, and i looked over at Helix. He was definatly scared shitless. the door began to splinter under the weight of my dad. I grabbed all the clothes i could fit into my duffel bag as Helix held the door, pushing his weight against my dads.

I yell at him to come on, and we climb out the window just as my dad breaks through the door. My dad runs over and grabs me by my scalp, and i scream in pain. Helix jumps down, and disappears into the house. a moment later, Helix appeared behind my dad, and hit him upside the head with a hunk of wood. my dad crumpled to the floor, and his grip on me failed. I began to fall, but Helix caught me and pulled me up through the window. he set me down and asked, "are you okay, youre not hurt are you?"

i rubbed my head, and said, "im fine, just a little freaked out is all.
