A New Beginning IV

Rikki POV

There is only one thing my dad would want to give me double of- Pain. When I got the text message, a wave of fear rushed over me, as I ran out the door. I put my phone in my pocket, as I tried to get home as quick as possible, to avoid more beatings. But I couldn't, Zane's house is one the posh side of town, whereas mine is obviously on the poor side. It takes me at least 15 minutes to walk that way. I arrived home, and my dad started. He'd been drinking – Surprise! He charged at me, hitting, kicking or whatever he could do to hurt me. I must have been knocked out, because the next thing that I can remember was waking up, and in the worst pain ever. I was also outside, and my hair was wet, It must have rained that night. I hauled myself up, and walked. I turned and looked behind me, at where I had been laying. There was blood, that must have been mine, and rainwater mixed together and it was trickling into the drain. I reached for my phone, but it was gone!! I thought back; it could have only been lost at the party. Or stolen. Zane, it must have been Zane, why else would he have been staring at me like that? He would have been planning it. Ugh. I hate him. I hate rich people. Why steal my crappy phone when he could just go out and buy 10 phones, 10 times as better as mine? I had to get it back, but not looking like this. I went inside, dad had gone to the pub ages ago. I put on loads of concealer and foundation on, and changed my clothes. I walked out, and walked. In direction of the docks, I knew he would be there.

When I got there, I found his boat, he wasn't there. Fine I thought If he wants to steal something of mine, Then I'll steal something of his. I got into his boat, looking around for people, took the cover of the motor, and took out the spark plug. Then I walked off and sat on the grass in the park, overlooking the sea.

After a while, I heard;

"Zane!"

"Looks like you are going to have to swim for it Cleo!"

I looked towards the docks and ran. Then without even thinking, I jumped into the boat. A brunette girl screamed.

"AH!"

I got up, and turned around. "You do know we are on a fatal flaw here, we're floating out to sea. Both of us."

I held up the spark plug.

"You took that," She accused.

"Zane Bennett's a pig, anything I can do to get under his skin can't be a bad thing, can it?"

I put the spark plug in.

"Cool, thanks Rikki," I stood up.

"You know my name" I said, astounded.

"Yeah, I have seen you around school. Since you arrived." I nodded, as long as she didn't join the long list of people who've hurt me, She's okay. "I mean, I've meant to say hello and everything." I don't care if she says hello or not. I just...I don't know. So we drove off in Zanes boat. Me on top of the world, her extremely nervous. I think I've made a friend today. First one In 16 years.

Thanks for all the lovely reviews guys! It means a lot. The reason that the chapters are so short is because I write it by hand in an A4 lined book, so on the page it looks really long. For instance, the chapter you have just read is 2 pages hand-written. I am not planning on making the chapters any longer, but I'm just going to update regularly. Thanks again guys!! Reviews = Love
