Through the Years:

A Story about Me

By: Fordina

Chapter 11- The Curse of Life

I woke up in a daze. I couldn't figure out where I was. Looking around I noticed that I was still by the river.

"Shit!" I cursed. Looking down at my watch I noticed that it was three AM. "Damnit!" I yelled jumping up and running home.

Once in front of the house I slowly crept inside and closed the door. As I walked over to my room I was stopped by something hard.

"Where have you been?" Kevin demanded.

I looked up at him. "Um… Out?" I tried. He didn't look happy.

"We've been worried sick! Where have you been?!" He demanded again.

"You want to know where I've been?! Okay! I was down by the river! I was tired and I fell asleep!" I yelled. "Why do you care anyway?! You're not my father! Hell, I bet my real father wouldn't even care! He never calls! Never wants or wanted to hang out with his daughter! So you know what? Just 'cause I don't believe in it doesn't mean I can't tell people to go there… So Kevin… GO TO HELL!!" I yelled as I ran back out the door.

I could hear him running after me. I don't know where my mother is but it's obvious that she wasn't in the house. If she was then she would have heard all the yelling. My mother was never a heavy sleeper.

"Tracilee!" He yelled. Of course I didn't listen and just kept running. I had no idea where I was heading… All I knew was that I had to get away.

I couldn't just show up at a friend's house… It's three AM for crying out loud! So I just kept running, hoping that I would end up somewhere where I wouldn't be pushed away.

Seeing a bench I ran over to it and then sat down. Sighing I placed my head in my hands. "Why is this happening to me…?" I asked myself. Again I knew I wasn't going to get an answer… But every time I say that I always get one from the voice in my head… And since I don't want to hear that stupid annoying voice again I'm not going to say that anymore…

I jumped at least two feet into the air when I felt an arm wrap around me. Calming down a bit I looked beside me hoping to find Ken. I was highly mistaken.

"Hey there baby, what's a pretty girl like you doing out here at this time of night?" A male voice asked. Shying away from this guy I tried to slip away. His grip grew tighter. "Where do you think you're going babe?" He asked.

"Please… Let me go…" I pleaded. Although I knew he wasn't going to listen. He leaned in closer and breathed on my ear. It sent shivers down my spine. Done by probably anybody else and those shivers would have been pleasurable… But not by this creep.

"C'mon babe… You know you want it…" He whispered nibbling on my ear.

That was the last straw! Nobody can do this except Ken! Ripping myself out of his grip I threw my fist in his face. His hand shot like lightning to his face where I had punched him.

"Why you little…" he growled. In any other situation I probably would have been scared stiff. But with my anger taking over I threw myself back at this creep and punched him repeatedly. I could hear his screams of agony but I didn't care. I needed to get my anger out and this asshole was the perfect excuse.

"What the fuck do you think you were doing?! Don't touch me! Just leave me alone!" When I felt his struggles lessen I looked down I noticed that I bruised up his face pretty badly. I had claw marks on my arms from when he tried to get me off of him. His lip was split, he had a pretty big bruise on his right eye, and I think I broke his nose. "Oh gods… What have I done?" I asked aloud. Reaching out for his neck I checked to see if he had a pulse. "C'mon… Where is it…?!" I screeched. Finally I could feel a faint one. "Thank the gods…" I sighed in relief. Slapping his cheeks lightly I tried to wake him up. "C'mon… Wake up… Wake up damnit!" I yelled at the seemingly dead man before me. After one final slap I felt him move beneath me. "Oh thank the gods! You're awake!" I practically yelled.

"Get off me you lousy bitch!" He screamed pushing me off him.

"Oww…" I said as I hit the pavement. He started to walk towards me; I backed up instinctively. "Y-you stay a-away from m-me… I-I just saved your life!" I cried.

He shook his head. "Wrong slut, you just about killed me. So now I'm returning the favor!" He was about to pounce on me when he suddenly fell to the ground. I looked down at him, then back up at my savior.

"Ken!" I tried to get up but I fell right back down, I had twisted my ankle when that bastard threw me to the ground.

"Traci! Oh god, are you okay? Did that… thing… hurt you?" He said referring to the guy on the ground.

I shook my head. "Not really… Just scared the shit out of me… And I twisted my ankle when he pushed me over…" I sighed. "Gods Ken… I was so scared!" I said as I grabbed onto him, pulling him closer to me. He immediately put his arms around me.

"Shh… It's okay Traci-koi… Hush now… Shh…" Ken said as he rocked me back and forth. Soon I could feel myself drifting to sleep; a deep dreamless sleep. Something I hadn't had in a long time. It felt nice. I smiled as Ken continued to rock me back and forth.

"I love you Ken…" I whispered as sleep almost consumed me completely.

"Ashiteru Traci-koi…"

Tbc…
