Chapter Thirteen
I know this probably wasn't the story you expected it to be and sorry if you were dissapointed. It will probably have 2-4 more chapters, including another cliffhanger on the last one!
Kristin was laying on her bed, sobbing. She shook with fear, hate, and everything else to describe what had just happened. Why'd she think this could have been her family? She had always been hated, except for the people at Horizon and Scott. She just had this rejectable personality. Scott walked in.
He sat down by her. After awhile she sat up and dried her eyes. "I don't think he meant it," Scott said and pulled her over to him. She rested her head on his shoulder. "Why does everyone hate me?" "Oh come on, they don't-" "Besides you and the people at Horizon." "You know that's not true..it's just I've screwed up a lot and my dad is taking it out on both of us since he can." "Yeah right." She said. Just then Martin walked in.
Kristin jumped up and got her suitcase. "Sit down." Martin said and she did. "I'm not sending you back today. But I am tomorrow. Scott, you dropped this," Martin said and his tone turned icy as he handed Scott the ticket. "Listen dad I was trying to get-" "Save it, Scott.. I'm tired of your excuses." He said firmly. "We wanted to spend the afternoon of Christmas Eve together. But we can't even do that." He said. "Elaine's not my family. Or Kristin's. Did you know she's been treating Kristin like crap?" Scott said, his voice growing icy, also. "Oh, just like she did you, huh?" Scott glared at him with hate.
"Listen, Elaine has cooked everything. We're going to pick up the ham and stay out for awhile. You two are not to leave this house period." He said and walked out. "TOld ya." Scott said.
***That Night***
Martin and Elaine were in bed. Scott was in his room but the light was on. Kristin was trying to get to sleep but it was impossible. She had never celebrated Christmas-her dad never cared. her mom was never home. Her brother had to take the fact he had a screwed family. SHe didn't ever get presents, for her birthday, Easter, or anything. Her mom never seemed to care. She never questioned the stories Kristin told about her bruises. Her mom was in denial her family needed help.
Christmas was a foreign word for her. When she got to school from Winter break in her old clothes and everyone else had new clothes, shoes, jewelery, etc, she felt jealous. She had even stolen a silver chain from a girl she hated. She still had the necklace in her room as far as she knew.
Eventually she drifted off to sleep.
