Saturday, May 5, 2012

It was a still, dry morning. Undoubtedly, it was going to be unbearably hot for mid-May in Arkansas. My day would, once again, be spent being yanked around by two old women and a thirteen year old blob of monster sister. They were, once again, going on about the length of my hair and how the simple fact that I wore makeup 'drove them bonkers.'

"It's just another day." I thought out loud, dismissing myself from their opinions.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Elizabeth, my sister, asked.

"Oh, nothing." I sighed.

"Is it about me?!" She shouted. "It better not be about me!"

I looked at her in the rear-view with what must've been a slightly rude face, because her over-sized chipmunk cheeks began to swell with fake emotion and she cried, "Granny! Ciel's being mean to me again!"

Let me give you a fair description of me: I've never been one to be truly mean in my entire life. I generally just float through it, letting whatever wishes to happen go on and involve me if it wishes. I am seventeen years old, five feet and one inch tall, and a nice ninety-three pounds. Not very big in size, but a personality for the books. I had been a talent in band and had taken my school's QuizBowl team to State championships twice (as captain of the team, I got most of the glory (that sounds conceited, doesn't it?)). Music is what took up most of my time back then. I played primarily flute and piano with the school concert band and jazz band, but also played saxophone, clarinet, some trumpet and euphonium, and percussion. In total, I've been studying music for over eight years, now. I was first choir, first position at All-Region.

I don't remember half of it. Know this: Almost all of this what accomplished while on methamphetamine.

"Ciel, you better hush your mouth or you aren't going anywhere tonight!" The wicked old hag screeched at me from the passenger seat.

"But I didn't..!" I stopped myself. It wasn't worth it. My number one desire was to get away from them whereas theirs was to keep me close. They had no reason not to, because I was trustworthy, smart, and always paid for whatever I did and obeyed their rules.

Grandmother looked at me. "You heard what I said, girl. Now hush!"

I looked out at the road in front of us. I was the one driving them to wherever they wanted to go, when they wished to go there. So, instead of prepping for ToadSuckDaze that afternoon, I was driving them to Little Rock to shop. It was nice of me, compared to the way they treated me. Did I mention that they made me pay for gas?

***A few hours later...

I put the car in reverse and backed out of the parking spot.

"I got this new iPhone thing, a new pair of Bobs, a new green dress, and..." My annoying little sister rambled on to someone on her iPhone. She didn't seem to understand quite what was happening here... I had a $30 a month limited texting plan, where she had an new iPhone with unlimited minutes.. Favoritism is clearly evident.

Grandmother grabbed my arm as I was driving and yanked me towards her.

"You listen here, if I get any trouble out of you tonight, I'm going to spend your college fund on her, too." She growled in my face through her dentures.

Me: "Too? What did you spend on her just now?!"

She shoved me back into the driver's seat. I sighed.

I drove, ignoring my sister's petty chattering and my grandmother's snide comments on my 'choice of wear.' I was trying to dress like every other 'normal' teenager, since Pentecostal skirts and long-sleeved dresses in the summer wasn't quite the style. I had on black flip flops, a button-up G.I.R tee from Invader Zim, knee-length black cut-off skinnies, and my neon-spattered bandana that my mom made for me was tied around my neck.

"You need to throw that thing away. Becky didn't intend for you to wear it forever." She chided over my thoughts of what was to come later that day. A large group of my friends from Conway were expecting me, and I wasn't going to let my grandmother sour my mood.

Fifteen minutes and twenty miles later, I grabbed my Marilyn Monroe mini-backpack and quickly got out as the beast emerged from the opposite side and glared at me over the hood of the car.

"You have to be home by eleven. Got it?"

"Yes, ma'am!" I said loudly as I turned to walk away.

Just as they left, up came Drozell.

"Hey, hot stuff." He smirked as he hugged me, knowing my hatred of pet names. "How's it goin'?"

I laughed and punched him jokingly. "Same old, same old. Except now I'm running with the lots of you instead."

We talked about what there was to do that day, and various other topics, until his girlfriend, Carly, came running up.

"Hey, babe!" She yelled a bit obnoxiously. The pig pointed a finger at me. "Who's this?"

Drozell attempted to peel her off of his skinny frame, but she held tight.

"This is Ciel." He explained. "She's going to be hanging out with us today."

"Well, I don't like her." She said and, literally, stuck her nose in the air.

"That's too bad." I replied. "Maybe I don't like you either, but I'm not going to be so rude as to tell you to your face."

She pouted and turned to Drozell and I noticed the approaching of two people: Kieron... and Jonathan.

"See!" She yelled at him and backed away slightly. "I told you I didn't like her." She ran off, and I rapidly pulled my phone out and sent Drozell a text:

jonathan approaches. wht do I do?

I heard his text tone chirp in his pocket, and he read the message quickly. He turned to me and said, "Wait here."

I sat down on the bench and watched him as he walked about thirty feet over to the concession stand where the other two teens were standing. They seemed to have idle conversation for a minute, then the boys all three walked away together. Then, I received a text:

hey im going over to kierons house. Ill ttyl k?

I replied:

I came down here because you said you wanted me to hang with you wtf?

I didn't get a reply after that, so I started roaming around, and eventually my status on FaceBook got a comment. Then another. Quite a few of my friends from home were there that day, so I started hanging out with various groups, ten minutes or so with everyone. Several of my concerned friends warned me of one of my more dangerous stalkers attempting to follow me there, since my family wouldn't be around, but it didn't bother me. Around late afternoon, the temperature suddenly spiked and I found myself notably thirsty, if it's something I remember this clearly.

I had just bought myself a lemonade when Drozell came up to me again.

"'Eey.. Shieru..!" He said in something of a stoned stupor.

"What do you want?" I asked politely yet with a serious tone around the straw before taking another gulp.

"I wanted ta know if ya wanted ta.. ya know. What you and Johnny boy did all the time." He replied while throwing a skinny arm around me. I started to push him off of me, when a large build of dark skin and a shaven head appeared in the dim light behind the concession trailer.

"What the fuck!?" The figure yelled. It reached forward and as it pulled Drozell off of me, I realized who it was. Erick, my stalker, had indeed stalked me to ToadSuckDaze. "I came all the way down here to hang out with you, and I catch you hanging on some other guy. I knew I was right. You're just a stupid slut."

I stared back at him and started to back away, when Drozell got up and said, "Leave her the fuck alone! She hasn't done anything to you!"

I looked up at Erick, anger boiling inside me. "Get out of here, or I'll call the police."

He glared down at me, started to turn and leave, then said, "I hope you know, I told Lonnie to leave."

Staring at him, I asked, "You did what!?"

He simply smirked, shrugged, and walked away.

"Fuck." I said, leaning against the wall with my head in my hands. "Fuck, fuck, fuck."

Drozell rubbed one of my arms. "What's going on?"

I looked up at him, weary, and quietly stated, "I don't have a ride home."

"Well make him give you one! He had no right to treat you that way!" Drozell yelled and caused a few heads to turn. He looked at them and then back at me. "Call the number he's been texting you from and see if you can get him to drive you."

I pulled out my cell and started calling the number. No answer, so I sat down there on the wall since it was one of the only places I had signal and tried to call again. This time, an answer.

"Hey, I was wondering if I was getting a ride home."

"Are you Erick's friend?" A female voice asked.

"Sure, you can say that." I replied.

"Okay, well we're looking for you." The woman said.

"Um... well, then meet us at the Ferris wheel, okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, 'kay."

The call was disconnected.

"Come on," I turned to Drozell and said. "We've gotta get over there." I pulled him to his feet and we walked.

As we approached, I saw Erick, a short black-haired girl that I didn't know, and a tall, skinny, medium skinned teenage boy. They all three looked up in my direction, but Erick waved the other two off.

"I'm going to keep it simple. If you don't have sex with me, you aren't getting anything from me." He said.

"That's extremely rude. I'd rather take my chances."

"Suit yourself. We're going then." He turned to go, but as he did, the other teenage boy appeared. He put his hand out on Erick's chest.

"What does she want?" He asked inquisitively.

"All she wants is sex." Erick rolled his eyes.

"She does not!" Drozell yelled.

The boy looked at me with his large green eyes, then said, "I would give you a ride, but I haven't got the time and I really have to get to work. I'm sorry."

I looked at him and then finally shook my head and said, "That's okay. I'll find another way."

Drozell and Erick both looked at me and asked me if I was sure almost simultaneously. I assured them, and then waved them on. Erick pulled on the male and said that they needed to go, then. I looked up into the boy's eyes and his green stared back into mine.

"What's your name?" I said so softly that I almost couldn't hear it.

I watched as he mouthed 'Sebastian' before being pulled away by who eventually would come to light to be his uncle.

The rest of the details of that night don't matter, but what does matter is this:

That was the night I met Sebastian Michaelis.

More to be updated soon, but I'm moving this weekend, so it might be a little bit. Please muse over what's here and give me tips on what I can do better! Please and thanks~ 3
