"Heya girlie" His lips twisted into a horrible smirk. I wanted to get past him, but he wouldn't let me. I whimpered, and he did not look sympathetic. "Aww. little girlie gunna cry? Adorable." Seth clearwater. The boy in my nightmares.
"W-why are you doing this?" i whispered. He scoffed.
"Because I can Katie. Little weirdo. Ugly. Vulnerable."
" I.. i thought we were friends before..." i cried.
"No chance girlie" He grinned.

End of flashback: We were 8 years old. He was the friend who turned on me, crushing me and my happiness. The boy who wanted to hurt me. Even though It was years ago, i will NOT forget it. NEVER.

Meeting Him again - Katie's worried thoughts

"Katie!" my mum called from down-stairs. "Will you unpack your bags? I want to make moving back into LA push cosy, and all these boxes around isn't exactly ideal" I sighed from up in my bedroom. It had been a month since moving back to LA push, but i didn't want it to be real. i didn't want to see ... him .
The worst thing was, my mother and Sue were best friends. There was no way she wouldn't go and see her soon. It had been a month for goodness sake! And the chances were, she'd take mewith her. And Sue will probably make Seth and Leah be there too, so we could "catch up". I'm sure Seth would find a way to "catch up". I didn't mind Leah. She'd stick up for me when we were little. Made sure know one hurt me. But Seth... I knew we were just 8 years old, but it still hurt thinking about it. When Leah and Sue were away, there was nothing stopping him from tormenting me. When i was 9, my mum and Dad took me to see a psychiatrist, because of my severe depression. All. Because. Of. Him. The reason i wouldn't talk to anyone at my schools. That was because of Him too. Mum and Dad didn't know this: Dad would be up there "talking" to Seth if he knew. Despite how I'd love that,DEEPLY love that, I was 15 now.6 years separated the direct hurt he caused. I would just... live with it. When the time came, i would just... try to ignore it? just endure it?

Well, thats what i thought 30 minutes before mum told me. The news i'd been dreading.
"Babes, Sue just rang. She wants me to come over!" She smiled brightly. "She wants me to bring you as well. I'm givin' you 15 minutes Katie! She thinks your good as gold, you know..."
I stopped. N-no... No! I knew it was coming, but i didn't expect it so... soon.
I'd need to at least try to stop the insults.. I got my best stuff on: My mini-shorts and my strappy flower top. Maybe he wouldn't think i was ugly now we are older? Maybe he wouldn't think i was the weird, ugly, vulnerable geek... No. Who am i kidding? Of course i am. My face crumpled as i thought it. No Katie. don't let it get to you. you are NOT the depressed little girl you once were. and you WERE adorable when you were a child! You know what Seth said was ALL lies! you weren't ugly.. and your certainly not ugly now! your beautiful now! he will NOT get to you... I stilll couldn't shake the sickly feeling in my stomach. i quickly put on my make-up.
Not to much Katie. remember what he'll call you if you put too much on.
I painted my nails with my best nail polish.
Could he change? No. i'm not taking the chance. just be careful Katie.. He'll be sure to find SOMETHING to criticise you about. Something to hurt you with. Make sure you look perfect. PERFECT.
I replayed one of the incedents in my head.

"Hey tart" Seth smirked. i gulped
" I am not a tart!" i whispered.
"Oh but you are katie." He retorted, pushing me against the wall." you with your short shorts. you DISGUST ME. your too fat to fit into them anyway." He grinned at his own remark "So, what are you katie? WHAT ARE YOU?"
"A... a tart" i sobbed..
"Good wickle girlie" He laughed cruely...

I shuddered. What if i look like a tart? Would he hurt me with that? There was no time for this.
"Katie! we're leaving in a minute!" I quickly brushed my long, dark brown, tangled curls. I looked in the mirror, and despite knowing deep down that i DID look beautiful, i couldn't help telling myself: your ugly. A tart. A MONSTER. Was i really? No. STOP IT Katie. I sighed. Having this battle with yourself since you were 8 , you'd think i'd gotten used to it. I hadn't. No way.
I ran down stairs, almost tripping on the last ones, and mum smiled.
"your eager aren't you? bet you want to see Seth. He is such a lovely boy you know." I grimaced at the thought.
"No.. no mum..." i half whispered, half groaned. She just laughed.
"Alrighty then miss denial." she chuckled. I smiled falsely "Right, Sue's house is only a stone-throw away, So we wont take the car, kay?" I nodded.
As i walked, the cold air touched my face, causing me to shiver. A horrible feeling rose in my gut. What was he gunna say? Then i realised something.
He can't hurt you katie. He can't kill you with his words.
Your already dead. what does it matter? just do it for your mum. She'd be devastated if she knew. What would it do to her and Sues friendship?
I knew i was right. How could the foolish boy hurt me now when his words had already killed me? he couldn't do anything. Absolutely nothing at all. I just had to do it for mum. For Sue. Despite how much i told myself this, the feeling still stuck there.

Don't worry, I know i made Seth out as a meanie in this chapter, but he's going to be a right sweetheart in the next one!
