(The wallflowers get credit for writing such a wonderful song, the
characters are not mine, the story is though)
To my former family;
If you recall I was once your daughter, or sister. You rejected me. Every part of me was rejected, my face cut out of family pictures, my name cut out of conversations. This is not about me, this is about how another life was ruined by my so called family, maybe If I make it clear to you now, it won't happen with future children.
So long ago. I don't remember when
I feel like I have to write her story, just so all of you know. She's gone now, my only friend, and the only way I can write this is through what she told me, and what I got from her diaries, all of you should be ashamed
That's when they say I lost my only friend
She was gone before she died, death was an escape for her, she didn't have to put up with a false family anymore, when she died, she no longer had to worry about being loved, or her family caring about her. I'll start her story now.
He had never given her a chance to love him, and know she knew why. How could she have been blind for so long, and not have seen what was right in front of her? Everyone told her that she was too young, she didn't know what love was, but she did, oh how she knew. She also knew what it felt like to have your heart ripped out, torn into shreds, and stepped on. She didn't want to live; she didn't want to do anything.
Everyone had lied to her, her parents, her sister, her best friend, and him. He didn't lie like everyone else did, he didn't just pretend to humor her, he told her he loved her; he had kissed her, her first kiss ever. How could he have lied to her? How could he treat her like a stupid.. like a stupid child?
It was time to face them; they shared a passionate kiss right in front of her. His fingers were intertwined in her long hair, and her hands caressed his back. It was a lover's kiss, which gave her a stabbing pain in her chest. She could feel tears rolling down her face as she watched his hands undo her shirt, and she could watch no more. She ran from the room, and from the house tears rolling down her face.
Her best friend was in their secret place, with a smile on her face, no doubt that she had gotten what she wanted; Miguel.
"Simone, oh my god, I - "
"You lied to me Kay, why did you let me think Chad loved me? He loves Whitney!"
"Chad was going to be yours, I was making sure of it. Whitney will be out of the way."
"But he doesn't love me, he loves her! They are in love and there is nothing I can do about it!"
"I told Whitney to stay away from Chad, tell her you are going to kill yourself or something, Chad will love you and Whitney will stay away from him. It'll work, Miguel is mine now and all I had to do was act like Charity! Chad and Whitney don't want to see you get hurt, the plan is foolproof!"
"Kill myself." Said Simone, thinking. It wasn't like anyone respected her, Kay was babbling about how Miguel was hers now, Whitney and Chad were making love and everyone thought of her as a stupid child. If she killed herself; ha; they would all know, they would know she wasn't such a little girl anymore. She left Kay, what did Kay care about anyone but herself?
Simone walked the long way home, with her head down, thinking about what an idiot she had been; about halfway home a boy she went to school with stopped her.
"Hey Simone, I know you probably already have a boyfriend, but would you go to the movies with me tonight? It's Friday, and I don't have a date, my name is Jim, I'm in all of your classes, you are so beautiful, please?" It took all of Jim's courage to speak up to Simone, she was one of the most beautiful girls in school.between her and Kay Bennett all of Harmony High's males had a look, don't touch, and admire pact between them. No matter about the rumors about Kay's family, she was beautiful, every guy wanted her, Simone was the same, but she had an older boyfriend.
"Sure, what time are we going?" Simone faked a smile, she would date him, and she would let Chad and Whitney know how they had hurt her.
It was late Friday night, and Simone wore her sleaziest outfit for her date. Her parents didn't notice, her mother was busy talking to Julian Crane, and her father was in his shed. Whitney and Chad were watching TV on the sofa, both of them treating Simone like a friend. She didn't let them know what she knew yet, she didn't care about them, and she didn't care about anything. Jim picked her up and they went to the local theater. It seemed that the whole school was there, and they were, to see how Jim, a guy geekier than Reese Durkee, got a date with Simone Russell. Simone let Jim do what he wanted to her, she didn't care, and she hoped maybe that her mother would hear about it. She played along, and pretended to love Jim as much as he loved her, but inside her was an empty void.
She walked home from Jim's house, and left him in bed alone. The empty void was still there, she felt no different than she had after talking with Kay. A man grabbed her, and covered her mouth.
She screamed muffled screams and kicked at him. He was much taller than she was, and much stronger, she kicked and screamed as he dragged her to an alleyway. The strange man screamed obscenities at her as she struggled, then hit the side of her face with a pistol. She quieted for a second before screaming one last time. He silenced her after that.
Whitney and Chad sat curled up on the couch as TC and Eve came back in the house. All four of them sat and watched the end of Friday the 13th before they went to bed. Eve congratulated Whitney and Chad on becoming a couple before going to bed.
"I'm so sorry I took so long to get with you Chad, I love you."
"I love you Whitney, there isn't a second I want to be away from you."
"Chad, stay with me tonight, I don't want to let you go."
"I never want to let you go Whitney, I'm going to hold you a little longer, because I can't believe that I have you." They wrapped themselves in each other and fell asleep on the couch.
Whitney awoke alone the next morning; Chad had left her alone, on the couch. Maybe it was all a dream, there was no way that she and Chad consummated their love the day before, but then the doorbell rang. It was a florist, with two-dozen white roses. Enclosed in the roses was a note
My Darling I had to work And you looked angelic Asleep on the couch I couldn't wake you I hope these roses make up for it I love you forever
Chad
Whitney held the roses to her with a smile on her face. She had Chad and Chad had her. Things were perfect for her.
"Theresa! You won't believe it! Me and Chad are together!"
"That's so great Whit! Oh my god! We have to go out on a double date! Me and Ethan and you and Chad! Oh my god!!!! It's Fate! I told you it was fate!"
"I'm so excited Theresa!!!!!"
She woke alone and unable to move. She could feel the pain though, it racked her body as she gasped for breath, and she could feel the plastic over her naked body, covering her face. She was as good as dead.
"You stole Miguel from me! I hate you Kay!" Screamed Charity, as she watched Kay and Miguel together.
"I want you out of my house Kay Bennett! You broke your cousins heart! Charity has been through so much and you steal the love of her life from her. Shame on you Kay Bennett!"
"He loves me, aren't you happy for me Mom?"
"No Kay, you did a horrible thing! I want you to pack your bags and leave! I want you out in 3 hours!"
"I'm sorry Charity, I do love you." Said Miguel running to Charity "You never did anything to make me love you, I'm sorry if I hurt you."
"I love you Miguel."
"I love you Charity." Kay was nearly in tears, her mother sided with Charity, and she still didn't have Miguel, life wasn't worth living.
"Kay, you should be packing, I want you out of here in 3 hours."
"Mom." said Kay, but her mother was already going up the stairs with Charity and Miguel. "STOP!" Yelled Kay, they were no longer able to move, Kay had stopped them in their tracks. "Why doesn't anyone love me? No one EVER loved me!"
"It's because you are EVIL Kay! You are nothing but PURE EVIL!" Yelled Charity
"You are not my daughter Kay, I never want to se you again, let us go!"
"Fine!" Yelled Kay, causing her mother, Charity and Miguel to fall down the stairs
"You are nothing but Evil Kay, get out of my house."
Kay left, and went to live in the rundown house she and Simone had claimed, and waited for her best friend to return. Simone was the only friend Kay had at the moment, her family disowned her, and Miguel hated her. She would have been anyone but Kay Bennett at that time, anyone but Kay.
Eve held the results in her hand, her worst fears were right in front of her. She was his mother. She had to tell her family, before things went further. Chad and Whitney were sitting, eating dinner, looking at each other with love in their eyes. It wasn't fair, why did her past have to catch up with her daughter? Poor Whitney.
Kay had gone searching for Simone; she had been missing for too long, she searched in all the alleys and dark corners of Harmony before she found her; in the trash. Her body was nearly covered in a black plastic trash bag, and her naked body was badly beaten. Kay removed her jacket without thinking and covered what she could of Simone with it. Her best friend was nearly dead; Kay had to do something. She used her powers, she could heal with her powers and slowly Simone began to feel again. She felt pain for a few seconds, then she could no longer feel pain, she could move, and talk.
"Kay." Kay lifted her hands and let Simone get up, slowly. Simone could feel dried blood and body secretions all over her. She could feel the man who tried to kill her all over herself, she wanted a hot shower to wash him off, and her best friend, her savior was talking to her. "I'm sorry Kay, I didn't hear you."
"Maybe we can go to my dad, put my jacket on, it'll cover you, we have to report this!"
"They don't care, I just want to take a shower, get him off of me." Kay didn't listen to Simone; instead she walked her to the beat up truck that was hers and Simone's. "You drove the truck?" She almost smiled "It only has one headlight, we'll have to hurry and get back before dark..." Simone didn't speak; she only nodded. She let Kay drive her to the police station, and let her lead her inside, to the chief's desk.
"Dad." Said Kay, holding tight to Simone's hand. Sam was on the phone, and didn't glance up at his daughter. "Dad, I NEED to talk to you."
"Kay, I'm glad you're here, there's a rapist loose from the jail, I want you in the house, I don't want you out alone."
"Dad, I got kicked out."
"Kay, I want you and Jessica to stay in the house, its no time for joking now."
"What about Simone, your warning is a little late for her."
"Kay, I have work to do. I'll see you tonight." Kay knew it was no use talking to her Dad, he was in his own world.she had to help Simone though.Simone needed a hot bath, and there was no water at the old house Kay had to stay in now. She had to go to Simone's house.
"I'm sorry Simone, do you want to go to your house, and take a bath?"
"I can't, Whitney and Chad."
"Dad, can I borrow your credit card?" Asked Kay. Sam handed it to her without a second look. Kay had to get a hotel room; it was the only way she could get Simone feeling clean again.
Amazingly, The other headlight worked for the night, they were able to get to a hotel room, where Simone spent two hours in the bathroom. Both of them slept in the same bed that night; two best friends were protecting each other. Kay bought a few items the next morning with her dad's credit card, and filled the truck with gas before returning it to him at the station. It was like they didn't notice she was gone. Kay let Simone rest in the truck while she watched Simone's house; once Whitney and Chad were gone, she woke Simone up.
"Kay, can you come with me? I want to get some clothes, I can't stay at home, not with them."
"Yeah, all we have is each other right now." Said Kay "Lets just hurry up and get what you need." The two friends walked into the house, hand in hand; ready to face whatever was in front of them.
Eve was on the couch in tears, she didn't notice her daughter come in, her daughter that had just been through hell.
Kay and Simone walked up the stairs and packed a suitcase for Simone. Simone also picked up her backpack, and they went down the stairs to leave. Kay carried the bags to the truck, Simone was still a little weak, and she could not carry the bags herself.
"Bye Mom." Said Simone
"Are you leaving me too?" Asked Eve "I'm sorry baby, I had no idea that Chad was your brother, I know you were friends with him-"
"What? No Mom, he's Whitney's boyfriend, he's not my brother."
"I had an affair with Julian before I married your father, Chad is my son."
"No mom, I loved Chad, it's his fault, and I'm leaving Mom."
"I deserve it, go, live with your father. I'm glad you got out of school early today." Simone could no longer listen to her mother. They hadn't noticed that she had been gone for almost 3 days, she never returned home after her date 2 nights ago, and she hadn't been in school.her family didn't care.
"Kay, lets go, we can make it in the house, I'm sure." The two friends drove down a lonely road as the sun set, and the trucks headlight went out again.
Kay watched Simone with concern. Her friend hadn't been Simone since they started living in the beat up house. Simone smoked pack after pack of cigarettes and got herself drunk on wine while staring into space.
It was getting cold, and Kay was already bundled up, Simone however, didn't care to bundle up. They had been living there a month now, and no one cared. Kay already knew her family didn't care about her, but she thought that Simone's family would at least worry about their youngest daughter.
"It's cold." Said Simone "But I'll finally be free." Simone smiled at Kay.
"Yeah, you should put a sweater or something on Simone, you must be freezing."
"Kay, the cold is wonderful, don't bundle up! We are here, together and nobody's going to change that, Everything's so wonderful right now Kay!"
"I'm so glad to see you back Simone, I missed my best friend." Simone smiles and gives Kay a hug. Kay can see something in Simone's eyes, but she can't quite place it.
Simone runs up the stairs before Kay realizes that something may be wrong.. She arrives to see her standing on the window ledge. "No, please don't Simone."
"Come with me Kay, we can fly forever, just you and me!" Says Simone before diving headfirst to the ground. Kay considered joining Simone for a few minutes, before realizing that her family didn't deserve her death. She went downstairs and sat, but smelled Simone's cigarettes, and saw Simone's chair. She deserved better than to die forgotten.
Kay splashed the remaining alcohol everywhere, then she doused the house in the gasoline she had been storing for the truck, and she threw a match.
The place erupted in flames, and all Kay could think about was Simone's final words, and her final diary entry.
There's a monster growing inside of me, I want to be free of it, and Kay and me can fly together forever.
Simone was free, and Kay was leaving the place called Harmony. They said she died easy of a broken heart disease, I listened through the Cemetery trees.
Her death was anything but easy; I was at her funereal. I saw all of you fake your way through it, I saw the show all of you put on. She lived in hell, and none of you cared, she killed herself because she couldn't bear to live in a world with people like yourselves.
All of you killed Simone, and none of you deserve what I have now, so I won't share it with you. But I will give you her diary, to rub salt in old wounds.
If I could see Simone like she was before all this happened, I would tell her we could drive the truck to a new home, with one headlight.
Salutations,

If I could see Simone like she was before all this happened, I would tell her we could drive the truck to a new home, with one headlight.
Salutations,
Katherine S. Katherine S. formerly known as Kay Bennett
