CHAPTER 1:I have to leave! I was walking down the street this afternoon around 12 when I saw him. The boy of my dreams, smiling at me with that gorgeous smile of his. After talking for a couple of days on the phone, and going on dates, and getting to know each other a little better then what we already do. Him and I were the cutest couple around town, according to what my parents say. I stopped and watched him pass me by. He stared back at me deep into my eyes. I could feel a wonderful feeling inside my gut. I walked slowly down the road that day, daydreaming of him, paying no attention to where I was going. I finally snapped out of my trance, and looked around to see where I was at.
I looked ahead of me at a beautiful waterfall with colorful leaves circled all around it, and fireflies buzzing all around the baby blue waterfall. I sat down on the bank of the small pond, and stuck my feet in. I glared at the sky to see how bright the sun was. I took my shirt off, and now was just in a bathing suit. I laid back and let the sun hit my body, like it was trying to hit a flower. I dozed off after a few minutes of thinking. A few hours later, I was walking down the street on my way home. I walked in the front door of my house to see my mom and dad sitting in their chairs staring at me, and my older brother and one of his friends sitting in the couch.
His friend was really cute on the other hand. I have always felt the urge to flirt with him, but I was always to scared because he was always talking about that stupid girlfriend of his. I watched them as they stared at me with angry eyes. I sat down on the couch and looked down sadly, knowing that I was fixing to get in trouble for something that my little brother, max, did. The only person that truly loved me in this family was my older brother, kai. I knew he would stick up for me on something like this. "Where have you been, Mrs. Natrisha hiwatary?" My mother yelled really loud. I could feel tears strolling down my cheeks, they felt like little rain droplets that had just landed on my face.
I glanced over at my brother, who was glancing at my parents. I could tell that he was angry with them because he was shooting them evil looks. " Answer me, dang it!" I started busting out in tears. That's the only thing that I could do, I could take no more of the pain. " I..I was hanging out with a friend! " I said quietly. I stared down at the ground waiting on a reply from my mom, hoping she wouldn't slap me like she did last time, eve though I did not do anything. " You are on restriction for sneaking out." I looked up with angry eyes. I was getting to the point where I cant take no more. I stared at my mom for a minute then stood up. " NO" I said quietly. My mom was staring at me, with wide eyes, that turned straight to fierce.
I could tell that she was angry with me. She also stood up. " What did you say young lady?" She said sharply, so sharp that it made me blink. I looked over at kai, he shook his head yes, so I turned and looked at mom again." I said NO. I haven't done anything to get in trouble." I yelled. I turned and ran out the door before she could say anything back to me.
My brother walked up beside me, onto the bank, and put his arm around me. I turned and hugged him as if he was the only thing left in my life that actually cared. Kai's friend was behind watching, but I was not paying any attention because I was to busy trying to forget about my sorry butt mom. I sat beside the water, my brother and his friend along with me. " That was a brave thing you did you know!" Kai said to me. I looked at him with my tear filled eyes. " Yea I know, but I don't know what to do anymore," I looked at my brother, hoping he understands why I have to do what I am fixing to do, " I have no where to go anymore." Kai pulled me into a deep hug before saying anything. " I don't get what you mean by that!" He said. I felt something drop on my head. I looked up at Kai's face, and for the first time in his life, he was crying. " Kai, I cant go back there. She will hurt me, possibly even kill me." I said sadly. At this point, I was hoping that he understood why I have to go. He looked up at me, and we caught eyes. I never thought that I would see kai cry, but for the first time, he was crying, and the only good thing about that, was he showed me that he truly cared about me, that I am his little sister.
I stood and looked down at my brother. He stood, and now we were face to face. "So…your leaving? Your not coming back?" He said. I could tell that he was hurt, his voice was starting to shake up. " Yes, but kai… I promise I will come back to visit you!" I said. He fell to his knee's. His eyes were full of tears that have not fell yet. " Natrisha, you cant leave me ok, You are my little sister, you cant just walk away from what you fear the most, You have to face them! Don't show them that your scared! " He yelled. I didn't bother to yell back because I could understand why he was mad and upset. " Kai, this isn't a fear, and I cant face this. If I tried to face this, I will end up dead! Then what will you do, because if I die, then there Is no turning back, " I sat down on the ground in front of him. I raised his head up to look deep into my eyes," but it don't matter I will be safe, I will find someone to come with me, and here in a few years, I will be back, and revenge on my mom, will be heck." I finished what I had to say. Then waited on him to say something back, but he just sat there for a minute, before even opening his mouth. " Fine, if u go u have to take my friend ray, with you for protection!" He said sadly. I looked at ray, then back at my brother. "Ok, I will take ray." I said. Ray and I turned and ran through the woods.
