So, That's Your Dad? (Freddie Mercury) | Under Construction

Chapter Twelve: Final Round

I decided to go out tonight. I needed time to myself more than anything. I just want to be alone. I'm all I have right now. I don't have anyone and no one would want me. I'm not valuable and I have to accept it. It's a hard reality to accept but it's true. I'm worthless I'm nothing. All are the thoughts running back and forth in my head as I walk down these crowded streets.

Damn, the streets of downtown Los Angels can be so scary in the evening hours. There are very Interesting people walking around here. Some laughing and even kissing. I have no one who would want to laugh with me or even kiss me. I'm not worth anyone's time. There is nowhere that I really want to go anymore. I only just got something to eat because I was hungry. I cross the street once I get the signal to do so. There was something off about this street.

      It was dark and I was alone. I feel scared even though this is my only way home. Since what has been happening, I have been so paranoid lately. I thought I was safe with many people around, but I'm alone. Also many were around when I got assaulted those two times by the man who I'm supposed to be in love with. I have now been questioning my feelings for him. Do I really love him? Is he really a good significant other? I don't think so. Love shouldn't hurt this badly.

      I'm not alone. There are two people kissing at the lamppost that I began to get close to. As I was closer, one of the two individuals looked very familiar to me. Almost too familiar and it scared me. No, this can't be real. I have to be in a dream right now. Wrong, this is real and I'm physically here. I separate Asher and the beautiful red haired girl. I can't believe him. I could only smirk and laugh at how ridiculous this situation is. Asher was mad at me for ruining his moment but I really don't care. I'm beyond angry.

"Oh the hypocrisy. All this time, you have been accusing me of cheating! When I have done nothing at all to make you lose your trust! And now you're the one who's cheating! You even beat me and I put up with it! Fuck You!" I ranted. He bit his lip. "Get in the car, I'll deal with her." Asher commanded and the girl did just as asked. I'm waiting for it to happen. I'm not scared anymore, I just want it to be over. He grabbed me harshly by the neck and dragged me to a dark alleyway.

There he pushes me and i fall to the ground. Before I had the chance to get up, he kneed me in the crotch area which was very painful. I screamed only to ease it in some way I guess. His knees were now resting on my stomach as he punched me repeatedly in the face. He had no mercy on me until the seventh punch. "Had enough yet?" He asked. I wanted to add some humor into it. I don't know why, I guess I was that hysterical at the moment. "I could do this all day." I said. He shook his head and stood up. He got the final punch but instead kicked me in the face.

It took me a few minutes. I'm surprised I was even able to get up. But I did. I pulled a mirror from my purse. I'm not disgusted, I thought I was going to look worse. My lip was bleeding and I had a black eye. Along with the bruise from earlier today. I begin to walk and I'm officially alone. I walk into the nearest store. Why I want to go anywhere else, I have no idea. I couldn't think straight until I walked into this small bookstore.

I begin to cry. Not sob, but cry. This place was relatively crowded. I don't care if I'm embarrassing myself at all. No one knows who I am or would care to know. I look at everything that they have. One book came caught my attention. It was a book on how to write, how to creat good characters, and almost everything that you would need in order to write your own story. It could be useful and I have money on me. I wipe away my tears. "Hey you!" I hear the voice of a boy yell.

I turn to make sure he was talking to me, and he was. Shit. I forgot how bad I actually looked. His eyes became wide although they seemed like they were naturally wide. I don't blame him, I look absolutely disgusting. What's changed really? "What's wrong?" He wondered. "Nothing, I'm completely fine." I lied. He gave me a you've got to be kidding me look. "No you're not. We can all see you crying in here you know." He told me from behind the register. He must've gotten complaints from customers.
