Chapter 9

This chapter if definitely better... Kind of, but I promise it's interesting...

Chapter 9
I was awakened by a phone call at six o'clock in the morning.

I answered the phone, it was Mr.Baily, he said I didn't have to work today because there was enough help. That means I get my first day off. Joe in the other hand was a cook now and had to work. I got dressed anyway, not in my uniform though, determined to do something today.

At six fifteen the phone rang again, it was Shelby. She said she was off work and wanted to know if I could come over. I told her I would be there soon. She gave me directions and I was off.

I started walking and next thing I knew I was ten blocks from the hotel. I wasn't sure where I was, so I went to the nearest payphone, one in front of an apartment, and called Shelby. I looked at the time on a flashing billboard, and it read six twenty five. Someone picked up the phone and said "Hello?" It was Shelby. With my voice sounding slightly panicked, I started speaking in the phone.

"Shelby, this is Julua. I don't know where I'm at."

"okay" she's said, ''calm down I'll come pick you up, look around and try to find a road sign or something."

I looked around and saw a sign that said 'Clarkson Road' "I'm on Clarkson Road" I told her.

"Okay, I know where that is. I'm in my way."

Clarkson Road sounded awfully familiar. I thought for a few minutes. I looked around some more hoping I would remember. I looked across the street. Oh no! I need to get out of here, now! I thought panicking. My old apartment, the one I used to live in, was right across from me. I heard a bang behind me and turned around.

"No, no, no, no, no." I said screaming and starting to run, " This can't be happening."

Right behind me was someone I wished I would never see again. It was my father. I screamed in a desperate attempt for someone to hear me, but the streets were empty. I ran as fast as I could down the sidewalk, across the road. I found myself back in the alley I met Joe in. Oh no, I thought to myself, the fence. No quicker than I thought it, the it was. I tried a desperate attempt to climb it and failed. Before I could get over, he grabbed the back of my shirt and pulled me to the ground.

"SHELBY" I screamed at the top of my lungs hoping she could hear from such a long distance away.

"Shut up" he said with more hate and disrespect I ever thought possible in a human being.

"Never" I screamed.

He brought his hand behind him, hand in a tight red fist. I could do nothing but watch as he brought his fist around to hit me. It hit the side of my head, right above my left cheek, barely missing my temple, and knocked me out cold.
