"Daddy!" The little boy yelled as he ran through the hallways of the house. His dad grabbed him and yelled in his face, almost making the kid collapse from his breath, "What have I told you about yelling in this house, BOY!?" He slapped the little boy, and then threw him down and kicked him.
Cole wake up in a cold sweat, the nightmare running clearly in his mind. That had been one of the first times his dad had ever been really *mean* to him. He got out of bed and put on his shoes and put on a hooded sweatshirt over his wife beater then walked outside and looked around the campus. It was night and the campus was deserted, and Cole was cold. He blamed himself for what had happened to Scott, Shelby, and Kristen. He didn't want to go back to sleep so he decided to take a walk around campus. He came to the wood shed and searched for Shelby's stash of cigarettes. "Fuck!" he said to himself, "she must have re-hidden them." He added as he walked away.
*The Next Day*
All the Cliffhangers were sitting together talking all except Cole who was in the lodge just staring into the fire. Auggie came up behind him and said "hey, there muchaco. Nice to have you back. Peter and Sophie want you in the cafeteria." Cole didn't say a word he just got up and headed towards the cafeteria. When he got there Shelby, Scott and Kristen were there already talking with Peter and Sophie. Cole sat down next to Kristen. "So now that all four of you are here, Soph and I just want to ask you some questions." "But we already answered the questions the police asked us what more do you need?" whined Kristen " We just want to know if there is anything that has you shaken up about what happened?" replied Sophie " I am just glad to be back, I have been through worse things on the street." Shelby replied "now I have biology homework that is due in 10 minutes" she added then stood up "yeah, I am cool too" said Scott as he got up and followed Shelby.
Just Kristen and Cole were left, "what about you two?" Sophie asked. "I hate him...I can't explain how much I HATE him. When I was punching him, it felt better than anything," Cole mumbled, almost incoherently. "Why do you hate him so much?" Peter asked, even though he knew, he just knew that when Cole got it out; it'd make him feel better. "All those years, and all the pain...Hitting him, felt like revenge for me." Cole explained. "Cole, I can't tell you to 'forgive and forget', but I do know that, if you write about and talk about how you're feeling, you will do better. How about you, Kristen?" "I can't believe I am about to say this, but I feel the same way.but about my step-dad. I can't believe my parents kicked me out of the house because they didn't want a little liar." She said with tears starting fall from her face. Kristen just stood up and ran out of the cafeteria. "Kristen! Wait!" Sophie yelled as she chased after her.
"This is all my fault!" Cole yelled as he jumped up and knocked over the chair next to him out of frustration. Now Peter got up and ran after him when he got outside he saw Cole trying to pick a fight with David but luckily he got over there before anything major erupted. Peter grabbed Cole by the arm and pulled him over to the side "What the fuck do you want!?" Cole said angrily "What is your problem?" he said raising his arms in the air. Seeing this Cole instinctively threw a punch at Peters gut and it hit him directly in the gut. After Cole realized what he did he fell on his knees and screamed " Please, don't kick me! I didn't mean to hit you! Please don't!"
