You Get Me

Chapter 9

"You can't hide from me..." She heard Max's voice calling, "I know your every move! I know everything you do! I'm always watching, ALWAYS! Don't you dare tell anybody about this, not your precious Yue or Nuriko or Hotohori, Zion, ANYBODY! I'll find out and when I do...let's just say it won't be pretty! Once I am done, you'll have nobody left to turn to except me! I swear I'll do it! I'll tell Yue about the day you spent with me." Max opened the bathroom door and threw a picture into it. Kina picked up the paper, trembling. It was a picture of her kissing Max with, in her handwriting, it said at the bottom, "To my darling Max. I love you, Kina." It looked exactly like her handwriting. And the picture looked so real. She mouthed the words "How..." Then she remembered. She had stopped at Max's house to study for an up coming Spanish test. It was before she confronted her dad in her dream.

~Flash Back~

"Nice place you have here." Kina smiled as she looked around the apartment.

Max stepped closer to her. "Not as nice as your house, I'm sure." He leaned closer to her.

She didn't like it. She didn't like how close he was to her but she couldn't get away. She was backed into a corner. They where suppose to be studying, why was he going this? "Yeah. So let's get back to studying." She tried to get out of the corner.

"No, let's talk a little bit longer." He was moving in closer. She had to get away. They where just suppose to study. They where just friends. Why was he acting so strange? He knew she was married. He knew she was pregnant. But he didn't seem to care. Swiftly, he leaned down and kissed her. It caught her in complete surprise and shock as she tried to pull away but his large hands held her still. He finally let her go. Raising back a hand, she pulled it had hard across his cheek, making a smacking noise and leaving a red head on his cheek.

Special

You think you're special

You do

I can see it in your eyes

I can see it when you laugh at me

Look down on me

You walk around on me

"GET AWAY!" She screamed at him as she wiggled her way under his arm and out behind him. She ran to the door, grabbing her books. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she sprinted from the house. Had she just cheated on Yue? No, she hadn't, she didn't ask to be kissed. But she was kissed; she had been the one stupid enough to go to his house. She should of known. It was her fault, she had cheated on Yue. She was ruining everything they had. It was her fault. Her fault. The words repeated over and over again in her mind. She tried to push them away, make it stop. So she locked that moment away in her mind and left it there to be untouched, un-thought on. Maybe she would just forget it. Yeah, maybe...

~End of Flash Back~

"How did he get that as a picture?" Kina looked at the photo; it looked like the two where both making out or something. Not like he had forced her to kiss him like that. "Unless he planned to do that..." Fear gripped her heart as she realized she was trapped. Trapped like a mouse in a box. She had no one to turn to now, what if Yue believed Max? He had been planning to kiss her and take the picture all along. Now Kina knew what her father met by beware. What if Yue believed the picture? There it was, proof. It had happened, but not how it looked in the colored ink. But would Yue believe that? Her other a picture? Her word over proof? This was all too much for her. It HAD happened. She had kissed him, not on purpose but it was a kiss. That was undeniable. And if Yue saw that picture, their perfect relationship would be ruined yet again. Would he stand for it to be ruined again? What if he just got sick of it and left? Inside, she knew he never would do that but the fear and panic gripped onto her, making unhappy thoughts fill her mind. It could be all over. Maybe if she just ignored Max he would go away. Yeah, maybe...A thought came up in her mind then. Before, when Max had called her...she never gave Max her phone number...he had started the rumors. This was getting all too weird. Maybe he even stole her wedding picture; it was missing, wasn't it? Something strange was going on and she wanted help, needed to talk to somebody. But she couldn't, if she did, Max would send the picture to Yue or even hurt somebody. Not like she believed he could hurt Yue or anything. But she had to think of the baby. She could hear Max's twisted laughter as he left.

Just one more fight

About your leadership

And I will straight up

Leave your shit

Cause I've had enough of this

And now I'm pissed

This time I'm 'a let it all come out

This time I'm 'a stand up and shout

I'm 'a do things my way

It's my way

My way, or the highway

Kina's echoed footsteps walked home. She couldn't go into class and sit next to that disturbed man. Boy. Child. He had no idea what he was doing. How could she face anyone after this? She had no clue what to do next except for wander the town. She couldn't go to class; he would be there. She could go home.

"That's an idea!" Kina grinned. Soon, she was unlocking the white door that led her into her safe haven. Her house was safe from the world. There she could curl up in her own little corner or her own chair and relax. She could forget the worries of the day. Kina jerked up from her sleep as she heard someone open the door and step into the house.

"GET OUT!" She screamed, expecting to see Max.

"Huh?" Yue froze and looked around. "You ok?"

"Oh, yeah. Sorry." The red head let out a sigh of relief. As she sat back down in her chair, the phone began to ring. Kina couldn't move as panic gripped her. Who could be calling? She reached for the phone then stopped herself, better to let the message machine pick it up and call them back if it was important. But her thoughts where interrupted as Yue tapped her shoulder.

"Sure you're ok? You look pale." He gave her a concerned look. He looked so innocent and caring, how lucky Kina was!

"Yeah, I'm ok!" She put a fake smile on her face.

"Ok." He left the room, heading for the bathroom. He most likely expected Kina to get the phone. But he believed Kina when she said she was ok.

In her mind, she was screaming to him, "Come back here Yue! Everything isn't ok, can't you see!!!!! Don't believe what I'm saying, I need you!!"

Six. Seven rings. The machine beeped as a voice coughed on the other end. Then it began to speak. Kina froze.

~~

Just one more fight

About a lot of things

And I will give up everything

To be on my own again

Free again

This time I'm 'a let it all come out

This time I'm 'a stand up and shout

I'm 'a do things my way

It's my way

My way, or the highway

My way, or the highway

My way, or the highway

~~

It was a male voice. A familiar voice. A voice she didn't want to hear. A voice she wanted to forget about. But there it was again, etching itself into her brain.

"My dear Kina, please pick up if you're there. It's me MAX!" It said. Then it paused for a moment as it grew in fury, "PICK UP!! Either way, you will hear this. I miss you so much my little darling, come visit me again. Or else somebody will have to pay dearly for your misguided actions. Remember, it's my way or the high way. And for you, the only high way is the one to hell." A click sounded as the message ended.

Her pale hands shook violently as she stepped backwards, bumping into the wall.

"Who was that?" Yue emerged from the bathroom.

1.1

Some day you'll see things my way

Cause you never know

Where, you never know

Where you're gonna go

Check out, check check... out my melody

Just one more fight

And I'll be history

Yes I will straight up

Leave your shit

And you'll be the one who's left

Missing me

~~

Kina turned towards him quickly, a look of terror in her eyes. "N-no one! Just s-some sales person!!" She dove at the message machine, hitting the erase button.

"Are you ok?" He gave her a strange look again.

"FINE!" She bit her lip, she hated to lie to him. She hated it but she had no choice. She had never felt so helpless before. Maybe Max was just messing with her mind, but what if he really was watching her? But how could he possibly be able to watch her?

Yue put a warm hand on her forehead, "You don't have a fever." He pondered.

"I'm fine OK!" Kina pushed his hand off of her face roughly.

"Hey, no need to get mad." Yue raised an eyebrow. "Maybe it's those mood swings." He thought to himself.

"Just forget about it!" She shoved past him, her heart racing a thousand beats per second. "Please forgive me Yue..." She thought to herself as she ran into the bathroom. She needed time alone to think, think about all of this. It was too much for her, everything was perfect and now the perfection had been ruined. It was like a glass window that had just been shattered all around her. The glass surrounded her; it was as if she was drowning. If she screamed out for help then the water would fill her lungs and drown her. If she stepped through the glass it would cause her to bleed to death. She was trapped, broken down bleeding and drowning. Once again her serene world was crashing down around her and she had no where to run, no one to turn to. Alone once again, mute to call to others and deaf to hear their cries for her.
