Chapter 3

I ran outside and started searching the neighborhood. I kept yelling out for Kandy. I collapsed on the sidewalk and cried. The ray of sunshine in my life. Gone. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and saw the shadowy figure again.

"I believe this is yours." He said, holding Kandy.

"How did you find her?" I asked

"If I tell you I have to kill you." He said before walking away. "By the way, hope you liked the flowers and jewelry."

I watched him walk away. How did he know about the gifts. No way, that was him! I held Kandy and started walking home. She was cold and sleeping. I put under my tshirt to kept her warm. She started shaking.

I ran the rest of the way home and made her a warm bottle. She started to warm up as she was eating. I smiled when she opened her eyes. Dark brown with the hints of caramel showing. I put my finger in her tiny hand and she grasped it. I went upstairs and put her in her crib. I set up a heater on the outside of her room. She sleep the rest of the night.

I got up the next morning and got dressed. I walked into Kandy's room and started sweating. It was really warm. I picked her up and took her downstairs. I smiled, she kicked off her onesie in the middle of the night.

I took her downstairs and fixed her a bottle. She started to protest, but she ate anyway. I heard a knock on the door. I balanced the bottle under my chin and walked to the door. I opened it and frowned. I saw Wendy in tears.

"Can I help you?" I said, now holding the bottle in my hand.

"I just wanted to see you." she said

"Well you saw me. Now go away."

"Wait!"

"What Wendy?"

"Token's having a party on Saturday. I wanted you to go with me."

"No thanks. Because I know exactly what will happen. I'll fall for it-"

"Its not a trick!" she said, starting to cry.

"What happened to you?"

"Kyle broke up with me and left for Rebecca Cotsweld."

"Well I'm sorry for you but I'm still not going."

"Please, I'll do anything!"

"If I say yes, will you leave so I can finish feeding my sister and put her down for a nap?"

"Yes."

"Fine I'll go with you." I said

"Thanks, Samantha."

I closed the door. Kandy was looking at me.

"I dont like her and if you knew her you wouldnt either." I said. I put her in her bouncy swing and washed out her bottle. She started to whine so I rolled he towards the living room. She was giggling the whole way. I sat her up on the couch and put her bunny next to her. I put on Tom and Jerry and grabbed my laptop. I logged into facebook and changed my status. 'Sitting on the couch, playing with baby sister.'

I heard crying outside.

"What the fuck?" I whispered. Kandy looked at me and pointed.

"Shut up." I said picking her up. I looked out the window and saw Wendy and Rebecca screaming at each other. I opened the door and stepped out.

A bunch of people were crowded around them. I watched the drama unfold. Token looked at me and started walking towards me.

"Hey Sam."

"Don't call me that and what do you want?"

"I was just wondering if-"

"No you can't have my nintendo" I said before he could finish.

"I was gonna say I got one."

"Good for you." I said, shifting Kandy to my other arm.

"Who's that?" he asked

"Her name is Kandy."

"Like the food?"

"Yeah but only its spelled different."

"She's really pretty."

"Thanks."

I heard Cartman yell 'fight!' I looked up and saw Rebecca and Wendy pulling each others hair and scratching at each other.

"Can you hold her?" I said

"Sure" he said holding out his arms.

I placed Kandy in his arms and grabbed the water hose. This is how we did it in Japan (no seriously. I really did stay there for the summer and my grandma broke up a fight using a water hose XD). I turned it on and sprayed Rebecca and Wendy.

"If you're gonna fight, go somewhere else!" I said. Everyone left. Token handed me Kandy. I picked her up and took her inside.

"Thanks Token."

"No problem."

Why is everyone suddenly having a change of heart towards me? One minute they hate me, they next they're doing favors for me. I decided not to worry about it.

I put Kandy on the couch and she started to cry. I looked at her. I picked her back up and saw another box. Ok how the hell does he keep getting in my house! I picked it up and opened it.

Just because I love you.

I opened the box and smiled. It was another bracelet. This one had my first initial and a question mark next to it. He still wasn't gonna give me a clue of who he is. I put it back in the box and placed it on the coffee table. I took Kandy upstairs and placed her in her crib. She fell asleep about 2 minutes later. I turned her heater off and placed a thermal blanket on her.

I walked back downstairs and heard the door bell. I saw Rebecca.

"Hello Samantha can I come in?"

"No."

"Very well... can you come outside?"

"Lemmi think... no" I said.

"Well can I talk to you?"

"No."

"Why are you so stubborn?"

"The same reason why everyone is treating like I'm nothing more that a homeless cat in a garbage can." I said

"Because you let them."

"Huh?"

"Seriously can I come in? Its cold out here." she said. I moved out of the way. She stepped inside and stood in the door way.

"The only reason they push you around is because you let them. If you tell them 'if you fuck with me, I'll kick your ass!' then they will definantly leave you alone or respect you enough." she explained.

"I promised myself I would never fight anyone ever again." I said

"Why?"

"I honestly don't wanna talk about it."

"Well that's ok." She said, putting a hand on my shoulder. "You still need to stand up for yourself."

"The only way I can do that is fighting. And I don't wanna talk about what happened."

"Well you can tell me."

"I said no Reebecca."

"Please?"

The next couple seconds were a blur. At first I was sitting on the couch talking to Rebecca, the next second she's on the floor, crying.

"Rebecca I swear I didn't mean it!" I said

"Its ok Samantha." She said, wiping her nose. I grabbed a tissue and gave it to her.

"Thanks." She said

"No problem."

"Why did you go all crazy?"

"You have to promise not to tell ANYONE!" I said.

" I promise on Cartman's grave."

"But he's not dead."

"That weight could get to him soon. Now tell me what happened."

"It all started in second grade. I was still living in Japan at that time..."

flashback

I was walking to the gym room to get changed. Then the three most popular girls in second came up to me. Kiyoko, Habami, and Gyomi. They always messed with the girls that tried to fit in. The problem is, I never tried. Anyway, as I ws walking out they stopped me.

"Anata wa meinu, de ittai nani o mitsumete imasu!" (What the hell are you staring at, bitch!) Gyomi said.

" N-nasshingua" (n-nothing.) I said

" Watashi wa nani no neuchi mo arimasen to itte iru!" (Are you saying that I'm nothing?) she said

"Chigau!" (No!) I said.

" Kono chīsana shōfu wa, watashi wa nani mo nai to iimashita yo!Kanojo no on'nanoko o nyūshu!" (This little whore just said I'm nothing! Get her girls!) she said.

They started running towards me. I ran in the other direction. I bumped into the principle.

" Watashi no gensoku iiwake" (sorry principle) I said

" Rasshu to wa nanidesu ka? " (what's the rush?)

" Gyomi, Habimi to Kiyoko wa futatabi watashi no atodesu!Karera wa watashi ga chōdo sore o shitte iru watashi wa shindehoshī!" (Gyomi, Habami, and Kiyoko are after me again. They want me dead, I just know it!) I said. I hugged her tightly.

But she never did anything. They beat the living fuck out of me for running away, things I never said, and for snitching. That night I laid in bed, I got up. I couldn't take their abuse anymore. I grabbed my ninjas stars and jumped from the window. I walked to each of their houses and stuck one of each in their necks.

End of flashback

"I dont know if they lived or not, because we moved the next day to here. And that's when the abuse cycle started again."

Rebecca stared at me in shock and fear. She hugged me. I started to cry.

"I had NO idea. I'm so sorry about everything and anything I ever did to you!" she said.

"Its ok. Now you promise that you won't tell anyone?" she said said

"Totally. I wont tell a soul." she said. "Hey I gotta go. I'll see you tomarrow."

"Bye Rebecca."

"Bye Sam." she said before, smiling and walking away.

I heard Kandy crying and I ran upstairs. Her room was cold, but she was toasty warm. I picked her up and almost gagged.

"Aunt Maria, I got something for you!" I said, walking towards her room.
