Trying to Remember

Chapter 3: Honey, My Honey

"Wait! Please, stop! I d-didn't do anything to you! No! B-B-Brett!" Cordelia shrunk into the corner of the room as she was surrounded by a group of dirty, muddy, kids. They ignored her pleas and closed in on her. A tall girl with pigtails and a missing tooth sneered to the others and said, "Shut up! Your Prince Charming isn't here to help you anymore. How does it feel to have no one there for you, huh?" With a nod from the head girl mud was sent flying toward little Cordelia. And after that came the punches, kicks, and stomps. Cordelia was left curled up in the corner when the children were called for food. She was bruised and cut up very badly, and with each sob she shook in pain. She could faintly hear someone calling her name, looking for her, but she was too weak to answer. "Cordelia! Cordelia, where are you? Cordelia." Cordelia. She rubbed the cold smooth metal that was wrapped around her wrist as things went black.

I opened my eyes and shook in horror. I only fell asleep for thirty minutes and I'm already having a nightmare. But it seemed so real. Almost like a memory... I felt for my bracelet before remembering that Brett still had it. I checked my phone and saw that I had two messages.

I was so grateful for that. I needed to get to Brett's house for my bracelet, but I hadn't the slightest idea where it was. I must have forgotten to get it back when the Smart Ass took it. But, then I started to get nervous about it. I had this feeling that Joe would give me a hard time with everything, especially because I hadn't told her anything at all. I sat in the living room with my honey cereal, my most favorite thing in the whole world. I would kill for my cereal... Okay, maybe not kill, but I could do some serious damage to protect what I love. 

Joe got to my house and told me everything that had happened. She went to find Johnny when I left to the bathroom. She found him, and he just happened to be talking to the kid that got us to do the shot competition. They were introduced, his name was Bentley, and he happened to be one of "King's" close friends. The two started talking and she ended up going home with him, after calling my phone and unexpectedly talking to 'King', and after dropping Johnny off at his house. They went and made out! In his room! But, they stopped and just layed there on his bed spooning, and they fell asleep like that.
