Blue

My body slammed against the locker and the blow caused me to double over. My air was gone I looked up my stomach throbbed. A girl with brown hair she smiled and I closed my eyes this what my mother probably felt when the man killed her helpless and weak. That’s what I felt helpless and weak I could feel the bruise on my stomach. You bitch she sneered I looked down at her shoes high heels probably a slut I groaned. And I felt the heal of the shoe kick my rib I grunted they wanted a scream I wasn’t going to give it to them. What did me do I gasp and the girl laughs or maybe cackles I don’t know what you did you stole Damon from me she sneers. Didn’t she get it I don’t like him I just want to have my momma back and have normal life but of course she didn’t. She lowered her body and picked up a strand of my hair you pastel blue bitch she growled. She yanked it hard making me yelp and her minions laugh with her tears brick my eyes STOP YOU FUCKIN WHORE I growl and my fist connects with her jaw. The pain in my ribs and stomach becoming worse and the minions take a chance and kick and hit me. The pain getting worse now I know what mom felt like hapless weak and nothing they kept kicking. Tears streamed down my face and they stop my body is on fire it’s like a flame that doesn’t burn out it just keeps wrecking more and more stuff. I curl up and push myself into a corner the darkest one so no one can see me cry and see the nasty bruises that form on my pale skin. I feel my nails dig into my palm cutting the skin as I bite my lip until draws blood so I don’t scream out in agony and pain. I feel the blood on my lips travel down my chin and the blood from my palms slide down slow and soft it tickles. Students walk by and I see mica and Damon arm in arm it doesn’t hurt but mica might of made me bleed. No one can see me imp transparent like everything else in my life imp a nobody and nobody wants a nobody.

When the hall looks clear I grab my bag gently put on my shoulder and oh so slowly get up and limp my way out the doors the sunlight hits my face and I feel fresh set of tears slid down my face this was going to be a long walk home.my body aches and my heart is about to burst I wish I was a somebody a anybody but im nothing that man should of killed me when he had the chance but he didn’t why. Because you ran you should have stayed with your mother. I cross the street as kids look at me and some laugh more tears slid down my face. I hear a door slam and footsteps I panic and make a run for the street I feel someone’s had close around my elbow and I jerk away. STAY AWAY FROM ME DON’T STOP TOUCHING ME I scream and a sliver of power goes through me I run. My stomach feels like someone is stabbing me with each step I take and I can’t breathe my throat is dry and it’s painful. I hear the footsteps behind me and I run faster until I can’t hear them anymore I land in the woods I collapse to the ground. The pain slowly goes away and I relax I look through the trees and see Damon he looks stressed as he runs his hand through his hair I hold my breath until I see him slam is fist into the tree. I gasp DAMN IT IVE LOST HER he growls he turns around and leaves me in the woods.

The pain is gone and I feel better like I smile and as soon as I see him gone I break out laughing that was fun almost like a thrill. The pain is still there I slowly get up and walk out and it starts raining. And I take the chance and spin around the water showering me I wipe the old crusty blood from my face and let my hair soak and I let that wall come tumbling down slowly and painfully. I can relax and I do and it’s the best I let happy tears slide down my face and smile. I hear a rustle and I look over and it’s a dog a stray I bend over forgetting the pain in my ribs and stomach. The poor animal whimpers and I smile and pick it up causing it to make the pain more painfully it hurt but I ignore it.do you want come home with me I say. No cause it’s my dog I look up and I see someone I don’t know I’ve seen him around the school. James he says holding out his hand blue I say and smile grabbing his hand what happen to you he said and I smile fake again. I fell down the stairs at home I lie and he nods well better get going huh shouldn’t we spike he says and bends down. I rub its head one more time nice knowing you spike I say and walk off my body aches but I ignore it.

I get home and kick of my boots and quietly walk up the stairs so my uncle won’t notice me. I run the shower and pull of my sweater and my pants the bruises are nasty and huge and purple. I press my fore finger in it and I cry out a little she banged me up pretty bad. I hear a bang on the door and I jump yes I call is that you blue my uncle says. Yeah imp showering I yell. Well someone wants to see you he yells back and I grumble who I it I yell back. His name is Damon he wants to talk to you in private. I shiver and pull my sweats on and my tank top and sweater on so he can’t see the bruises. Tell him to come up I yell my heart beats loud I could hear it and I hear loud footsteps breathe blue. I wing open the door and I look up at him agony and heaps and heaps of stress shows on his face he has five o’clock shadow I never knew he had. He comes closer to me and pulls my sweater or more like ripped it off WHAT ARE YOU DOING I scream rape he is going to rape and then kill me. What happen to you he whispers and traces his finger on my bruises and I pull away imp fine leave me alone I snap. You’re not fine you look like shit blue he says. Oh what do you care you don’t so get out of my house now I snap again imp not leaving until you show me I know what they did to you he says. Get out I say pointing towards the door and once again I feel weak and helpless. He tugs a strand of hair behind my ear and examines my lip and frowns. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO COME BARGING IN MY HOUSE AND DEMAND ORDERS FROM ME YOUR NOT MY FATHER OT MY BOYFRIEND SO GET OUT I scream. He growls and head towards the hall way and I go into the bathroom slamming the door. I slid into the water and slowly gasp it hurts but feels so good. And I remember my mom’s poem she made. Because the wind will blow and the sun will rise blue is the warmest color but tomorrow the flowers will curl up and die.

I get into bed and squeeze my eyes shut please don’t let me have another dream please I beg you lord not to let me have a bad dream

I keep praying until I fall asleep but my dream got worse

Blue

*dream*

The music plays soft a silent almost like under water. I spin around in the studio like I use to when I was younger. My legs glide across the floor. My back arches and I jump spinning lightly my head is back the silk covers my body tight and its light blue. I can hear the sounds of the claps and gasps but I also can hear my mom cheering me on its low and silent but I can feel tears brick my eyes. Mom I say and she comes out in smiling you did good blue I’m proud of you your dad will be proud she says and holds out her arms but something is very wrong. I can see right through her like a ghost and the dress she was wearing that night when she died. Momma why can I see you why I thought you died I say something changes in my mother’s face something very wrong. Her brow arches and her eyes turn black no longer hazel how dare YOU she wails and she lunges at me like an animal I swivel out of the way. Mom stop you have gone mad very mad mom STOP I scream and she does and falls to the floor and sobs. I’m sorry my baby I didn’t protect you I want you to stick around Damon ok sweetheart she says. But momma I don’t want to please don’t do this I cry please do it for me Damon cares about you please blue do it for me she says and her hand latches on my wrist. Mom I’m not going to I say and I know I will have to for my mother.

*dream ended*

I wake up not gasping but cringing why Damon why him. I slid my body out sore and in pain from that beating yesterday I whimper. I hear a honk and I jump and almost fall off my bed who the hell would be honking at this hour fuckin Christy. I peek out my window and the unholy fucker that was honking was Damon he was leaning against his truck smoking. He looked up and looked at me and moved his head for me to come down I shook my head. Then he smirked and went to my door I panic I don’t want him up here so I put my finger up saying one minute. I pull my hair up into a pony tail and slip on my blue tank top and pull on my black skinny jeans and slung my bag over my shoulder. The pain stung in my ribs and stomach I slowly walked to the door my heart was beating a mile a minute I winged open the door a little too rough. I shielded my eyes from the sunlight what are you doing here and I can walk I say he frowns and I roll my eyes. You’re not walking blue I’m sorry but your hurt and I’m not letting you
