Chapter 2

I'm dying Praying Bleeding Screaming

It was almost 5:30 and I was sitting on the counter in the kitchen doing my homework. My neck hurt like hell, the stool I was working on was too tall and very uncomfortable. I was originally working in my room, on my desk with a chair that was the right size and a whole lot more comfortable but my idiotic dad force me to come out so that he could watch me, probably. He has absolutely no life, what so ever! My mom works all day and supports us while he sits around on he's ass all day long and he still expects mom to clean and wait on him hand and feet.

My thoughts were interrupted by my dad's loud screaming. "Where the fuck is your unless sister!?"

"Not good, not good at all. My sister was supposed to be back 30mins ago, she's gonna be in trouble and I don't know if I'll be able to help her this time . . . " Just then the door opened and my sister stepped in looking exhausted, like she had just ran 10 blocks.

" Where have you been you useless slut?" yep that's usually how he greeted people.

" T-The b-b-bus broke down," she managed to stutter a response, which is good cause if you didn't answer him you might as well be died.

"You stupid liar, it wouldn't take you that long to get back. Your as useless as your mother!"he spat.

Streams of tears started to fall from her eyes, in fright that he's start hitting her again.

" Stop crying," he screamed, "that won't get you out of trouble with me!"

But it was too late, at this point it was too hard for her to get the tears to stop flowing.

"I TOLD YOU TO STOP! What you too stupid to understand what I'm saying?" he yelled infuriated and punched her in the stomach. She let out a loud scream as she hit the ground hard, luckily not bleeding this time.

He stuck out his fist about to hit her again but I ran stop his hand as it was about to hit.

"Stop it!" I yelled pushing his hand away and helping her up.

"Get away now and maybe I won't hurt you. I need to teach this worthless piece of shit a lesson." He yelled at me but I didn't move from my place.

"You dare disobey me! I gave you life I have the right to take it away!" he said, pushing me against the wall, making my sister drop to the floor again, and started strangling me with one hand and laughing, really enjoying watching me suffer.

I could fell the air being pushed out of me and my ribs felt like they were about to snap as he was now using his other hand to push down on them. I couldn't fight back as it'd probably end in my death and then him going after my sister.

"I'm going to die now . . . just let it end already, let this nightmare of a life END!" I though as I felt myself losing consciousness.

Luckily his phone rang and he let go of me and I fell to the ground gasping for air. He left the room and in a couple of minutes came back, put his shoes and jacket on and just left as if nothing had happened.

There was silence for several minutes till I got the strength to get back up on my feet. I walked over to my sister, who was still on the floor, and helped her up and into her room.

"Are you ok?" she asked as I helped her into her bed.

"Ya I'll be fine," I answered as I left the room.

I heard her saying 'thank you' before she dozed off.

Even though I was younger, I always had to be the stronger one. I had to be strong or no one would keep me sister going. Except when she is with me, she was always really shy and sensitive, she didn't know how to defend herself at all. I had learned long ago that you shouldn't show your emotions in front of that monster. Crying only makes' it worse and when you show pain, he only enjoys hurting you more. My sister wasn't strong even to do that and, that idiot knows it that's why he always picked on her more.

I went back to my room and sat down on my bed looking at a picture of my 6th birthday. It had my whole family in it, my mom, my sister, aunts, uncles, and cousins. I haven't seen them in seven years. They knew how my dad treated us, so they wanted my mom to divorce him. Of course he didn't let her so he forced us to move away. He was always paranoid and though that they were coming to get us so for that last seven years we've been moving all around Toronto and now finally moved to Japan where he though no one would look for us . . .  Thinking about my old life made me depressed so I shoved the picture back under me pillow.

I sat there thinking for hours not wanting to sleep because my dad would probably be back and drunk this time. A big stupid baka + beer doesn't equal anything good.

At around 12 in the morning I heard my mom entering the house. I put a sweater, which covered my neck on, so that she could not see the marks left behind by his hands. Though she already knew he beats us and most of the times tried to stop him but she was no where near strong enough and usually got beaten herself, I didn't want her to worry.

"Hi, mom," I greeted her, she looked dead tired.

"Oh, hi honey. How was your first day at school?" she asked.

"Umm . . . It was good" I said lying.

"Good, nice to hear, now go onto bed, you have school tomorrow remember?"

I nodded and went back to my bed and laid there. A couple of minutes later I heard my mom go into her room . . .

My alarm went off at 7:15 as usual. I groaned and slammed my hand on the clock and it stopped beeping. I covered my head with my blanket to block out the light that was shining through the curtains. I tried to go back to sleep, I was dead tired. My dad had come back in the middle of the night screaming profanities. He and my mom got into a fight. He strangled her with the cable wire and when I tried to help her, he threw me against the wall hard, dislocating my arm. I had to pop it back in afterwards. When he finally got tired of torturing us, he got a case of beer and went to the basement, where he usually slept.

I looked at my clock: 7:30. "Better get up don't want to be late for my second day of school . . . " I though getting out of bed and walking to the washroom quietly.

After waking my sister I headed out the door with my roller blades on wearing a leather skirt that went just above my knees and a long sleeved turtle neck I used to cover my neck and arm that had swollen up a little after I had popped it back into place.

I was unpacking the stuff in my bag into my locker using only my right-hand trying not to move my other arm at all. Tala, Ray, Kai and all the others (to lazy to name them all) came up to me when they saw what I was wearing.

"Hey, what's with the turtle neck during fall?" Ray asked curiously. "I mean it's not that cold out."

"Nothing! I just felt like it, is that suddenly a crime?" I barked at him, today was not a good day to piss me off!

"Whoa, calm down. I was just wondering."

"Awww! Come on tell us. Do you have a hickey?" Tala asked, pretending to be upset, "I though you and me were together?"

"Fuck off!" I yelled, slamming my locker shut and walking away, pushing through Tala and Kai.

"What happen to her?" Mariah asked stunned.

During math class they tired to figure out what was wrong, but I just blew them off. "Why do they even care? It's not like were good friends or anything, I mean I just meet them yesterday!" I though as they bugged me all class.

"Let's see.. I have gym next. YES! Something to get my mind off my stupid dad." I though at my locker. I wasn't really sure what I should bring to gym so I just left all my things in my locker and headed to the gym.

"Miss Suzuki, in Yokohama high you must wear our uniforms or you cannot participate. You got that? No exceptions," She said handing me a red shirt with the school symbol on it and a pair of really short, shorts. I nodded in response taking the uniform. "Change rooms just over there." She pointed to a door right outside of the gym which a bunch of cheerleaders had just entered. I nodded again in response and headed toward the room. But I never turned in I just kept walking forward. "Looks like I'm gonna have to ditch gym till my wounds are healed."

"Hey, where are you going? Girl's change rooms that way." Kai asked as he, Tala, and Ray stepped out of the change room. "Ummm . . .  he looks kinda cute in that uniform . . . Did I just think that? Arimi remember Kai's one of Tala's friends. He's a lying, cheating, playboy!"  I told myself shaking the thought out of my head.

"Ditching . . . " I mumbled, knowing they'd never leave me alone if I didn't give them an answer.

"Ditching on the second day?" Tala said, "I knew I liked you."

"Whatever." I said wanting to leave before the teacher noticed I was gone.

"Where are you going?"

"Don't know yet," I said getting kind of impatient.

"Well. Maybe we should come with you. Show you around? I mean no one knows this place better then us," Tala said trying to persuade me.

I could hear the teacher taking attendance and I had to get out of here, before she called my name and notices that I'm not there. " Fine, let's just go before the teacher notices. Where's the fastest way out of here without being noticed?"

"No problem, in here." Ray said pointing to the guy's change room.

"In there? You do realize that's the guy's change room and I'm a girl?" I said emphasizing the different genders.

"No shit sherlock. You figure that out on your own?" Kai said in monotone voice.

I was about to jump on Kai and kill him but then Ray changed the subject.

"Don't worry no ones in there and it's the easiest way out." Ray said standing in front of Kai so that I couldn't get to him. "Fine I'll just get you when then your friends aren't around to save you." I though looking at Kai evilly.

I heard the teacher call my name and  panicked so I immediately push the three guys into the change room with both my arms it hurt like hell, but I didn't show it that's something I learned to do thanks to my dad.

When I pushed them into the change room, I lost my balance and we all fell over. "Amazingly that didn't hurt as much as when I usually fall over," I though. I didn't notice at first but the reason why it didn't hurt as much was because I had fallen on Kai in a very disturbing position. I didn't notice till I saw Tala and Ray looking at me funny.

"What?" I asked as I looked down to see Kai and the position we were in. My face turned a bright red as I got off him. "Why the hell do, I have to be so fucking clumsy?" I yelled at myself.

"Sorry" I whispered quietly not looking at Kai's face, if I had I probably would have noticed that he was blushing a little too. "Sooo..How exactly do we get out from here?" I asked trying to change the subject.

"Just through there," he pointed to a room that said 'Dangerous Do not enter'(A/N I know why the hell would there be a  door with the word "dangerous" on it, in a change room but like my friend always says: "Don't question the story, let the story question you.") "But we have to change out of our uniforms first."

"And fix our hair." Tala added, "just wait here for a while."

"Make that a long while if we have to wait for Tala to fix his hair." Kai said as he walked into another room.

"Haha, very funny." Tala said walking in after Kai, followed by Ray.
