"Get up Liann!" My mother yelled through my closed bedroom door. I groaned. I grabbed my pillow and put it over my head.
"10 more minutes please" I yelled back.
"No Liann Kristine!" she yelled irritation building up in her voice. "If you don't wake up, you will not be going to that party on Saturday night!"
I groaned again as I sat up. "Ugh…I'm up now…" I yelled back. I looked at myself on the mirror. I saw a teenage girl with mousy straight long brown hair. Her eyes were the color of the clear blue sky. She had high, sharp cheekbones. She was pale.
Well I better stop looking at myself and get a move on. I thought to myself. I got up and did my bed. Perfect! Now for the beauty bath! I giggled to that thought. I grabbed my bathrobe and towel. I opened my bedroom door revealing me on the second floor of our house. The hallway was lit leading to the only bathroom on the second floor. As I walked to the bathroom, I heard heavy footsteps behind me. I turned around.
"What the hell are you doing?!" I yelled at Jeb Wallace. Jeb Wallace is my mother's boyfriend. He came to live with us about six weeks ago. Jeb Wallace is a middle-aged pervert. He's an average height male. He has an oval face with thick black eyebrows and thick black eyebrows. He had long hair, which he always puts in a ponytail. His eyes were a piercing dark blue.
"Shh…Hey Li…How'd you sleep last night? Did you dream about me?" he whispered in his Canadian accent. He grinned revealing yellow crooked teeth, of course due to his smoking. He winked at me, looking at me from head to toe, sending chills down my spine. I shuddered. I looked down at myself, noticing I still had my p.j's on, which are a pair of short girl boxers and a cami. I looked back up at him and self consciously I covered my chest with the towel and let in cover me to my knees.
"Pervert!" I growled at him. "Leave me alone now!"
"Now…now…I do not see a reason for you to call me that…I'm sorry I can't help myself because your beautiful." He winked. I wanted to poke his eye out right now! He moved three steps closer to where I stood.
"Leave me alone" I growled, moving back.
"I loved it when you're angry…" he whispered, moving closer.
"Get any closer and your going to regret it" I said through clenched teeth, moving back down the hallway until I hit the wall. I leaned on it, for support. Oh Lord, help me! I pleaded in my head.
"Sexy" he murmured in a hoarse voice, he closed the distance between us. His face was only inches away from mine. I felt his breath against my face. Repulsed, I moved my face away.
"Get away from me!" I said breathlessly. Lord please don't let him touch me! Please! I cried in my head.
"You will not be regretting this…" he whispered against the nape of my neck. I froze. His hand sexually touched my left breast and his other hand was pinning me on the wall. I, now, noticed what was going on. I screamed and kneed him in the weak spot of every male, the balls. I ran. I ran toward the staircase. "Mom!" I screamed. I ran downstairs. "Mom!" I looked around. My Mother was nowhere in sight. I ran to the kitchen. "Mom!" I spotted a red sticky on my chair at the dinner table. I grabbed it. Written in a curly writing, my mother's writing. It read: Li, Jeb is going to take you to school because I was running late. Love you lots, Mom. I dropped the sticky in disbelief. Oh god!
I turned around, when I heard heavy footsteps up behind me. Jeb was limping toward me. He was only a few feet away.
"Li…you shouldn't have done that, you know?" he said, closing the distance between us. Lord, save me! I pleaded in my head.
"Fine you were right, Jeb…I shouldn't have done that." I said closing the distance and wrapping my arms around his neck. His hands met on the small of my back and started roaming down to my butt. His lips were on my neck. Without a second thought, I kneed him again and ran. I ran to my room. Once in the safety of my room, I locked the door and place my computer chair under the knob. I ran to my bed and broke out into tears. I curled myself into a ball. I thought endlessly about my father, my friends, and my life.
"Liann Kristine!" I heard someone yelling. "Liann Kristine, Open the door right now!" There was banging also. "Liann Kristine!" I recognized it was my mother. I opened my eyes, noticing that I had fallen into unconsciousness. Mom! I ran toward the door. I removed the chair from under the knob and put it to a side. I flung open the door. "Mom!" I yelled joyfully. I threw my arms around her. I broke out into tears again. "Oh mom, Never leave me alone with that…that man!" I said through tears.
She was startled. She grabbed me by the shoulders and shook me.
"Liann!" she yelled, anger resembling in her voice. "What the hell is wrong with you?!"
Startled I said, "Mom it was Jeb--"
"'Jeb did this' 'Jeb did that' I'm sick of it Liann" she said. Her eyes showed only fury. "You always blame it on him why can't you just accept the fact that we are together"
My jaw dropped in disbelief. With that, she left. I closed the door behind her. I turned around and slid down to the floor and hugged my knees to my chest and wept.
