Chapter 20: Fear in the Eyes of Fate

*****

I know that you've been waiting weeks, sometimes even months, in between chapters for this story

during the school year, but I've decided that since I have nothing better to do this summer, I

will update as soon as I possibly can. Also, 'veela', thanks for your review and yes, I know

Saftey Shattered was chaotic, lol. ^_^ That's why I ended it so fast and, I suppose, stupidly.

I got Shelby into sooo much trouble that I couldn't get her out of it ^_^ Well, except for making

it a dream. I'm glad you all like this story though. I, myself, think this one is even more

chaotic than the first one. But I can get myself a place to end it. I want to start another

story.... Any ideas, email me at purplehole@hotmail.com. Oh and other thanks to,

hopelessromantic, HGMonkey017, Emma Morgan, and Mandy.

CHAPTER EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL

*****

She pressed the blade to her wrists, feeling the pressure slowly evolve into pain. Tears were

beginning to form in her eyes... the eyes that used to be so blue and happy before, had now

turned gray and sad. Strands of blonde hair were plastered to her wet face. Things had taken

such a downfall. She had lost her best friend really. The only one that kept her alive. Silent

cries for help hadn't worked with the staff at Horizon. Pain bottled up for years had began to

slowly seep out into anger and rage. Anger on herself.... it was always on herself.

*FLASHBACK*

"She's only 13, Roger!"

"I don't care! She's still a bitch and I hate her! She cares for NO ONE but HER FUCKING SELF!"

the sound of a glass shattering on the wall pushed young Katie into tears as she fell back onto

her bed and sobbed for the next few hours.

*END FLASHBACK*

"Well, if he hates me so much he won't have to deal with me anymore.." Katie said and made the

cut on her wrist deeper. She winced in pain but didn't let up. Thoughts were forming in her head.

She couldn't get them out as she removed the blade from her arm. A trickle of blood ran down her

arm. She closed her eyes tight and layed her head against the wall of the bathroom, tears still

managing to escape her eyes.

*FLASHBACK*

"Just do it... it won't hurt, I promise."

"I don't think my mommy would wan't me to kiss you like that, Joe" The strawberry blonde nine

year old said.

"Your mommy wouldn't mind." Joe said, picking the girl up and sitting her on the table in the

kitchen. He leaned in and kissed her, forcing her mouth open with his. He finally leaned back

and patted her on the head. She looked terrified. "Now, promise me you won't tell your mommy

about this. She wouldn't understand..." Katie nodded and lowered her head, ashamed of herself.

*END FLASHBACK*

"Quit crying, you wuss!" Katie said to herself as she wiped the tears away, harshly. The blood

from her wrist was now dripping off her arm onto the floor. She dropped the scissors and started

banging her head against the wall. "QUIT! Just please... I don't want to remember! No more

thoughts, PLEASE!

*FLASHBACK*

"NO! You promised you wouldn't come in! Please! I don't want to!" Katie screamed as Joe drug her

out of the bathroom and threw her on the bed.

"SHUT UP, ALREADY! I don't want to hear this from you! Just lay down and SHUT UP!"

"PLEASE!!!!" Katie pleaded once more, but before she could block the hit, Joe kneed her in the

gut. She layed back down and started to cry silently. She yelped out in pain as the worst

happened.

*END FLASHBACK*

She picked up the scissors again and pressed them into the open wound. It hurt. It hurt so much..

but she kept on going... cutting a little deeper and a little deeper until she felt something

in her wrist snap. She began to feel dizzy, blood rushing from her broken vein. Things became

blurry as she fell to the floor... her life slipping away. No one came to her rescue.
