Chapter 6

The m90 decided to break down 7 blocks before we got to school near a petrol station, but i wasn't missing out on home-ec just because this stupid bus couldn't hold itself together,so me and jai decided to walk the rest of the way to school,though jai had to get a can of v because he needs his "energy boost before pass".he thinks v is like the mother of all energy drinks, maybe its true but i dont think he has seen the soccer player on tv who drank 36 cans of v before playing and dropped dead within the first 9 minutes into the game, okay I'm not saying jai is going to drink 36 v"s but everything counts, and if jai was gone.....id probably jump off the nearest bridge.

Im not a fan of v or petrol stations, they just dont appeal to me, i have never set foot into a petrol station and never will, nothing major really, just one time , i was 6 years old, at the times when my father was around, we went to get petrol late at night, it was me and mum alone in the car, while dad was filling up the car with petrol,me and mum where having the best conversation about my favourite flavour of ice-cream when all of a sudden i noticed through the reverse mirror that dad was being attacked by 3 motorbike men and a tattoo/ring covered skinny lady with red hair, they where beating him up like what you see on WWE. It was crazy , we where just 2 girls, what were to do , who is up at 3:00am other than drug dealers and child molesters.mum ran out as fast as you can say bubbles and she flung herself over one of the 3 obese men who were pelting my dad with their feirce punches, not to mention one of them was wearing a 4 finger ring, long story short, if i keep going i would probably break down into tears, we had been visiting dad every week at the mental insitituion for 9 years now, im surprised he remembered who i am, bless his soul.he didn't deserve it.he didn't deserve to die that way either.

"Are you coming mikki?" And i was back into reality, whenever i rememebr my fathers tragedy i forgot anything and anyone who is around me,

"Huh..no no i think im fine way out here" i shook my head in disbelief .would you enter the place you almost lost your father in? I guess not so there was no way i was entering that dream crusher.

"Look mikki, i know your still upset about what happened and you serisouly never ever want to come here, and i know you came here for me and me only, please let me take care of you,hold my hand, i swear to god youll be fine, im here mikki, im not leaving yourside".

Jai gave me the most warming smile, how could i make jai upset, i just couldnt, though it took me a while to accept that i was actually walking in the place where my dad had lost sanity.he took my hand and i squeezed it as hard as i can,"okay okay" he giggled,"i need to write with that hand", and i slowly let it go loosly but still wrapped my arm around jai just incase.

"How long does it take to get a damn can of v jai"

I started to panic and flashbacks of what happened that night began to float around in my mind, the reverse mirror, the 4 finger ring,the red hair everything.

"Ill just be a sec, hay would you get me a nice felt tip pen for english please?"

"Yeah ....sure" my voice was cracking, i gulped and walked through the 12 aisles of the petrol station.damn it was a pretty enourmous petrol station.aisle 7,pens, finally i found it, as i bent down to get the balck ball felt tip pen that was $3:47 i saw it.

"Oi,move it doll face we got things to do"

I stopped,looked up and i couldn't breathe.

The musky dense beard,the grimy and dirty fingers,torn slacks and sweaty gym socks,long dirt filled hair with twigs sticking out from each side,the....the the .....the 4 finger ring.

"Its you," i said.i couldnt make out any other words,i was stunned,scared,angry and panicing at the same time.

"Oh yeah,you,hey doll face how you doin?"

He grabbed a strand of my hair and tucked it behind my ear,i was trembling,there was no escape,no other word came out of my mouth,out of all the things i was able to say and do , nothing else came to my mind,i looked up at his face started to cry and scream out at the top of my lungs,"JAAAAAAAAAAAAI!" within a split second jai was by my side,he had dropped the can of v and $5:00 note he was carrying in his hands and ran straight to me, he didnt even look at me, he looked straight up at the man and said "mikayala leave now."

Did i question him? No way, right there and then i knew jai was there to take care of me, i picked up my bag and ran off, i ran as fast as i can, where to? I really dont know i just ran as fast and as far as i can, i began to think of what would happen if i was able to save my dad,what if i did help him,we wouldnt be in this situation right now,dad wouldnt be in the mental institution and i wouldnt be running this fast in order to get away from a 4 ring fingered bastard.
