Friday 7:26 a.m
Rachel sat at the breakfast table at her mother and stepfather's suburbian home.Her long black hair covered her face,and long black bangs went a little past her eyes.This normally would have been very attractive if not for her ditearerating body.She stirred at her bowl of cereal, just spooning around it.
"Rachel, are you feeling alright?" her mother saaid feeling her forehead
"Mom, I'm fine." she said irritable brushing her mothers' hand away
"Are you sure your not sick?You've lost alot of weight,you have a very low appetite,your tired, and you seem very shakey." her mother said in her worried tone
"It's probably just a cold,I'll be fine." she said putting her bowl in the sink.
"Hi, honey." Rachel heard his voice.It was David her stepfather.He came in and kissed her mother on the cheek.
"Good morning Rachel." he said in his annoying real estate agent voice.Rachel just glared at him and left the kitchen.All kinds of thoughts ran through her head.Thought that made her scared.
"Maybe I should...no, not before school." she thought to herself.She then decided to get a head start on school.She went to the dining room to put her books in her backpack.Then
"Hey." someone said lightly grabbing her shoulder.Rachel jumped.It was just her stepbrother Chris.
"Aren't we jumpey today." he said with a smirk
"What?" Rachel said very annoyed
"And irritable." he said teasing her.
"What the hell do you want!" she said louder than she meant to
"Rachel, watch your language." David said not even looking up from his newspaper,Rachel just rolled her eyes and went back to angrily stuffing books into bag.
"Calm down I just wanted to know if you want a ride to school,I'm on my way into the city so I figured I could drop you off." he said
"That's unsually generous of you, but I already have a ride." she said rubbing her eyes
"It better not be with that Grayson boy I don't like him." David said now setting his attentio to Rachel.
David didn't like Richard because he was only sixteen and already made more money than him,and because Richard had this reputation as a womanizer.
"Not that it's any of your concern but I have a ride with Kori." she said dryley then she grabbed her backpack,before she got to the door her mother called for her.
"Don't forget to pack tonight,your father's coming tommorow morning."
Personally Rachel liked it at her father's house better.(A/N I'm not making him abusive in this story I'm making him a normal ( sort of )loving father for a big change.)her father owned RothProductions which makes big movies and t.v shows.Rachel is the sole heiress to it's multi-million dollar studios, even though it has a reputation for being mob like or shadey.
Rachel walked down the street until she saw the red sports car around the corner then she hopped in.
"Hey baby." Richard said kissing her deeply " What did you tell David this time?" he said driving off
"I said I was getting a ride with Kori." she said hoping he wold change the subject.
"When are you going to tell him about us?"
"When the time is right you know how David feels about you."
"Yeah, he thinks I'm a spoiled rich kid who sleeps with girls and then dumps them." he said angrily
"And I know your not like that, but you do have a rep."
"But we-"
"And we're still together." she said calmly "I promise after my birthday I'll tell him."
Richard flashed that million dollar smile "Ok I love you." he said
"I love you too."
Lunch time
Rachel was in the library.She originally was only going to read for ten minutes,but then she fell asleep.
"Rachel." someone said.Rachel started it was Gar.
"Sorry didn't mean to scare you."
"It's alright." Rachel said groggily
"I missed you at lunch." Gar said trying to break the akward silence
"I came to do some studying but then I fell asleep." she said rubbing her eyes
"Couldn't sleep again. That's what three weeks now? Maybe you should see a docter-"
"No!" she said as if coming out of a trance "It's just a cold I'll be fine."
Then she started coughing alot.then she coughed into her her social studies book, but she coughed up blood.
"Oh my gawd Rachel." Gar said standing her up.
Rachel went to the nurse,and got sent home early. So her mother took work off early to drive her home.
"Seriously mom I feel fine.I'm just tired I'll go get some sleep and be better when I wake up."
"Rachel I think we should see a docter." her mother said
"No it's ok don't worry about me.Just go back to work.I'll go upstairs and gets some sleep and when you get home tonight I'll be fine."
Angela stirred at her sternly."Fine, but if the coughing doesn't stop by tommorow you are going to see a docter."
"Bye mom." Rachel said as her mom left the house.
7:48 p.m
"Jealousy turning saints into the sea swimming through sick lullabys chocking on your aliby but it's just the price I pay destiny is calling me open up my eager eyes cause' I'm mister brightside..."
Rachel scrambled to find her cell phone.She finally spotted it under her sheets.
"Hello?" she said into the phone hoping she didn't miss the caller
"Can you come down I'm in front of your house." Richard said
"I'll be down in a second." she said smiling to herself. Rachel grabbed her jacket and ran downstairs
"Where are you going?" Angela said
"I just need some air." Rachel lied " And I need to get the english assignment." she said quickly
"Ok be back in twenty minutes." her mother said
Rachel saw Richard's car right in front of her house.She quickly glanced up and down the street to see if David was coming home before,hopping in the back seat with Richard.
"How come you weren't in english today." he said
"I wasn't feeling well,so I went home."
"I paired with Kori for biology."
"Oh, good anyone else I probably would've been jealous."she said dryly "Espeacially that slut Barbara Gordan."
"Yeah." he said looking out the window "Rachel you know I love you right?"
"I know ." Rachel said blushing slightly
"I want to hear you say it." he said taking her hand
"I know you love me and I love you." Richard suddenly pulled Rachel into a deep kiss,that got deeper and deeper until they were making out intensely. Richard pulled Rachel on top of him and lifted her shirt up until it was over her navel.He caressed the bear part of her back.Then he slowly undid her belt.Suddenly the side door burst open.
Rachel and Richard jumped apart in surprise.It was David.Rachel fumbled to reattach her belt."I.."
'C'mon." David said grabbing her forearm and roughly pulling her out of the car and slamming the car door shut.He pulled her hard all the way into the house then, unintentionally slamming her hard against the wall.
"David!" Angela said
"You are never to see that boy again!" he said completly ignoring Angela
"You don't even know him!" she screamed back
"I know his type you'll end pregnant or with an STD before you graduate!"
"No it's my life and you can't stop me from seeing him!" Rachel said turning around and walking away
"What the hell is going on!" Angela yelled above the arguing
"I am your father you will listen to me!"
"You are not my father!" before Rachel could register it she felt a hard slap across her face.
"Dad what are you doing?" said Chris bewildered.Rachel then ran downstairs into the laundry room.
"Real nice Dad." Chris said running after Rachel.
"Angela I-" David started to say
"Save it, because I really don't want to hear right now." she said stomping up stairs
8:21 p.m
"Rachel please come out.He didn't mean it." Chris said knocking on the locked door.
"I'm fine just leave me alone." sha said through her tears
"Angela and Dad are leaving for that banquet thing I'm sure he wants to apologize before he leaves."
"No, just please go away." She said
"Give her some time." Angela said coming down the stairs in her fancy diner dress.
"Ok we should be back by midnight." Angela said headed for the door "Please try to get your sister out of the laundry room alittle later,and when she does try to get her to eat something."
"Will do." said Chris
"Love you bye." Angela said giving him a kiss on the cheek.
Downstairs Rachel was losing the battle.She reached down to the loose tile stone.In it was three small bags of heroin, a spoon,a lighter,a syrige,a piece of cloth,and syring sterilizer.
(A/N I assume this is how to use heroin I saw it in the movie Ray by the way heroin will kill you you will get addicted and eventually die.)
She poured a small amount of sterilizer on the cloth,and wiped it on the end of the syringe.So it wasn't contaminated and she'd get AIDs. She then she put the heroin in a syringe and injected it into her arm.After awhile she decided to do another dosage.She was being careful... she thought.
8:53 p.m
"Rachel are you ok? I think it's time you came out.Rachel?Rachel!" now he knew something was wrong.Rachel didn't aswer no sound was coming from inside the room.
Chris slid the key from under the shelf.He shoved the key into the key hole.He burst through the door and what he saw made him gasp.
Rachel was lying on the ground drenched in sweat.She was panting deeply, and was extremley shakey.
"Oh my gawd Rachel.What happened?"
She didn't say anything.Chris picked her up and ran to the living room.he layed Rachel on the couch.He then ran to the kitchen,then came back with a wet cloth.
"What happened Raech?" he said wiping the cloth on her face and neck.She was still panting.
"I'm calling an ambulance." He ran to the kitchen and picked up the phone
"911 what's your emergency?" she a voice
"My sister I don't know what's wrong with her she's not breathing right,she's not moving I don't-" Chris said panicing
"What's your address?" said the voice
"77 gerald street."
"Would you like me stay on the line until the ambulance arrives?"
"No, thanks." he said immediatly calling David
"Chris what's wrong we're in the middle of-" he said in barely a whisper
"It's Rachel she's I.. I don't know somethings wrong." he said pacing
"Chris she'll be fine I gotta go."
"Wait-" the line went dead.In anger and panic he dialed Angela's number.
"Hello?" she said
"Mom it's Rachel she's not breathing right and-" Chris stopped when he saw Rachel wasn't panting any more.Quickly he grabbed her wrist.
"Chris what is it?" Angela said into the phone
"Angela she's not breathing!"
"What!"
"Her heart beat it's way to fast!" Then the door burst open."In hear!" Chris yelled running to the front door to see the paramedics.
AS quickly as they entered the house the ambulance loaded Rachel onto a strecher and a automatic inhaler,and they were off.
Hospital 9:12 p.m
The paramedics met with two docters as soon as they entered the hospital.
"Female, age fifteen difficulty breathing, heavy sweating, no movement." said a paramedic as they hurried to the emergency room.
In the ER Rachel was hooked up to a heart monitor.Her heart was beating alot faster than it should've been.
Beep beep beep beepbeepbeepbeepbeep beeeeeep. Her heart stopped.
"Give me 33 ccs." they docter said as she rubbed two shock pads together.Then she placed them on Rachel's chest.
"Charging...clear."
shock. beeeeeeeep
"44 ccs." she said rubbing the pads together again"Charging...clear."
Shock.Beep beep beep
Waiting room 10:56 p.m
Angela had arrived about an hour and a half ago.Chris had been pacing ever since he'd been forced to wait in the waiting room two hours ago.David who insited Rachel was fine went home.Angela left the banquet and showed up as pale as a ghost at the hospital.
"Ms.Roth?" a docter dressed in that greenish operateing outfit, complete with mask and gloves came out of the ER.
"Yes." Angela said jumping to her feet.
"There's no easy way for me totell you this but...your daughter's allment was difficult for us to diagnose.We put all the symptons together and did a stomach pump and tox screen test for suspected drug use."
"Oh my gawd." Angela said in disbeleif
"The tox screen came up positive.It showed 1.9 kilograms of heroin like substance in her blood stream." the docter said sympathically
Angela was so shocked she sat down.
"When she gets out of the emergency room.You free to see her." he said before turning back around.
As so as the docter was out of hearing range Angela burst into tears.
"Angela, it going to be ok.We'll ger her help."Chris said hugging his stepmother.
Rachel was brought in from the ER about twenty minutes later.She looked like she did when she was sleeping except she had tubes up her nose, a bunch of other tubes in various veins in her arms,she was hooked up to a heart moniter, and she looked sort of dead.
Hospital room 1:19 a.m
Angela and Chris stayed with Rachel all night.Chris was asleep in a near by chair.Angela however stayed up right next to Rachel running her fingers through her hair.
"Rachel what did you do to yourself? What is so wrong in your life you couldn't tell?Why did you resort to this?" she asked Rachel's sleeping body.
If only she had known the ugly truth.
Saturday 7:26 a.m
Angela had only gotten a few hours of sleep,but woke up alittle after six.She held Rachel's hand.
"Mom?" Rachel said very softly
"Yes, Rachel." her mother said kindly
"I'm sorry." she said incohesively
"Why didn't you tell me?" Angela asked
"And say what my day was good except that part that I'm addicted to heroin."
"Oh, Rachel why?"
"I can...I don't know why."
1:48 p.m
Rachel's father Trigon (a/n icouldn't think of another name sorry) had arrived from the airport about an hour ago.Although he and Angela were no longer married they always came to an agreement if it were in the best intrest for Rachel, so they agreed to send for a psychiatrist immeadiately.
A middle woman probably in her mid thirties, with long tied up blonde hair, and glasses showed up... ( A/N blah blah blah she looks like whatever you want her to look like).
Trigon,Angela, and David stood in the room as Dr.Rain asked Rachel some questions.
"Is there any problems at school?" Dr.Rain asked
"No." Rachel answered like that was a stupid question
"Any problems with your friends?"
"No, there is no problem with my friends."
"Is there any problems at home."
Rachel didn't answer this time.
"Is it your mother?" asked Dr.Rain seriously
"No." Rachel shook her head
"Is it your brother?"
"No."
"Is it your stepfather?"
Rachel looked at David.He gave her a stern look.
"Rachel?" Dr.Rain said making Rachel jump.Paranoia and jumpiness another side affect of drugs. "Is there something wrong?"
"N...no."
"CAn you all step out the room please." Dr.Rain said to hte adults.They all left the room and she shut the door behind them.
"I think it's best if you all stay out the room, we just don't want her to feel intimadated, i promise to tell you everything."
"Alright." said Angela
"Fine with me." said Trigon
"No, we have a right to know we-"
"Well Rachel isn't your daughter so the decisions not really up to you." Trigon said with a smear.
Dr.Rain went back into the room.She shut the door behind her and pulled down the window curtains, but she hid a tape recorder behind her back.
"Rachel you don't have to feel afraid anymore, their gone."
Rachel remained silent.
"Rachel, whatever your stepfather did to you he'll get away with and do it all over if you don't tell me now."
Tears rolled down Rachel's face.
"He... he raped me!" she said then started crying hysterically "A little after my fifteenth birthday when my mom and brother were out the house he's tell me to take my clothes off, and he'd take pictures.Sometimes he'd video tape me in the shower.When I refused he'd hit me... hard then tie me to the bed a take pictures.."
She took a deep breath and continued.
"One day someone told me that heroin would make me feel better,I knew the dangers but I was desperate so I tried some.One day something told me that David would do it again so I got really high.I was in my room and he came in and raped me.I was so stoned I could move or say anything, I barely remember.After that I started doing heroin more fequantley then I became addicted."
DR.Rain just gave Rachel a sympathic look at her sudden confession.
That's chapter one I will continue if I get reveiws I'm going to update this after I update my last story.
