Chapter V

Three days have passed since Luci last met Mort and as the hours slowly pass by the urge of wanting to see him added up. It was really a strange thing, but Mort made her forget about her horrible life, her horrible self and her horrible family. Luci liked him, Luci liked him a lot.

"I must be delusional, why would Mort like someone like me? He pities me, that is the reason why he's so nice to me." She sadly said to herself as she washed the blood off her wounded palm. Stephanie got a bit carried away when she threw the shattered pieces at Luci just because she accidentally broke one of the cheap dinner plates.

"Will stop pampering yourself and get your bloody ass in here, I need you to massage my feet...I've been walking around town in those shitty new pair of high-heels, they've been killing me!!" Trisha crossly demanded.

Luci took one last look at her long fresh cut and then walked into Trisha's bedroom. She threw a bottle of lotion at Luci and pointed to her feet.

"My feet better feel good after you rub them!" She said, shooting daggers at Luci while she picked up the phone and called up one of her friends. Luci just nodded in reply and carried on with the task, completely ignoring how much her injured palm hurt.

"Hey Rica, know what? I met this cute guy at a coffee shop a while ago." Trisha said as she opened a packet of bubblegum and ate one. "Well, I didn't really meet him, I just saw him from across the café.

Trisha paused for a while as her friend from the other end of the line started talking.

"He was so nice as well, he paid for my coffee as I walked up to the counter. Problem is he didn't notice me, he as just being nice to be nice."

"What? His name? I think it was Mort Rainey. Yeah, yeah, I know he's the guy with the murder charges, but nothing is proven yet right?" Trisha replied to her friend. "No, he doesn't have a girlfriend, but he said he's fancying some one."

Then at that very moment, Luci was so flabbergasted that she accidentally squeezed all of the lotion onto Trisha's foot. It was all over the bed and floor and Trisha wasn't very happy with that.

"Hold on Rica I just need to handle something. I'll call you later. " She quickly said as she angrily hung up the phone.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU????!?!!" Trisha furiously shouted at Luci.

"I am so sorry, I didn't mean to do that. Here let me clean this up." Luci replied as she got down on her knees and started wiping the spilt lotion using her clean shirt.

"You are such a klutz, where's your damn brain?!?" Trisha exclaimed.

"What the hell is going on here?!?" Derick bellowed as he stomped into Trisha's room.

"Dad, she did it on purpose, she did this to me on purpose!!!!" Trisha whimpered as she let out her usual fake sobs.

"Luci! Where the hell is your respect?!? We take you in even though you aren't really part of this family. We feed you, clothe you, clean you...and what do we get in return? Crap! Crap, crap and more crap from you!" He madly yelled at Luci.

"You're nothing Luci, you are just leftover trash from that dickhead father of yours. You are nothing compared to Trisha. You are just a slut....and stupid, ugly, skinny slut!" He continued, throwing the empty bottle at Luci's face.

She just sat there, staring at her step-father's eyes. Luci was numb, the words she heard just went through you, yet it did indeed hurt her...it hurt her so much, but Luci's eyes were too dry to cry once again....the emotion she felt wasn't sorrow or depression...it was different...it was fury this time.

"You are nothing Luci....you are just leftover trash from that dickhead father of yours..."

Those words echoed in your head.

Too busy thinking; Luci didn't have time to duck when Derick's hand smacked her face.

"You get your ass out of her room now, get out of my face!!!" He shouted.

She struggled to stand up then strode out the bedroom doorway and out of the house. She didn't know where to go, she just relied on her feet on where to take her. As Luci ran into the woods she reached by the lake and accidentally bumped into Mort Rainey who was carrying a book.
