Waking up from a bad dream to life is a nightmare in itself

Chapter 6: Rei's Story

In her dreams she was suffocating, screaming, yelling, wanting someone to help her. She opened her eyes up to a morning lit room. She looked around at her quiet junky room. The cool breeze outside made her curtains blow inward towards her. Her long raven hair fell over her face and she pushed it back with her hand. Her mind started to spin as she looked around the room.

'Right I have a hangover' she remembered as she looked out the window. She turned to her tiny pink alarm clock on her nightstand it said 11:57.

'Nice' she thought sarcastically to herself. She got out of bed slowly still massaging her head of her head ache. She made her way down the hall to find her mother gone once again.

Weekend away with Derek, see you on Monday. – Mom.

Rei took the note off of the fridge and took it in her hand and crumpled it up. Her mother never said she loved her, never. She was neglected, ignored, a motherless child so to speak. She threw it away in the trash can to open a fridge that only had yogurt in it.

'I forgot mom put me on a diet this month' Rei remembered as she grabbed a carton of yogurt and a spoon. As she sat there quiet in her seat at the wooden table that she and her brother had carved their names in when they were younger she thought about what her life would have been like if it never happened. If her father never died, if her brother never left, if she never, if she never…

It was almost 9 years ago. Life was good. Her father and mother were happily married with two children. Rei was only 9 years old and her brother, Mark 16. Her father, Drew, was a good, honest man, who worked hard for every penny he made. They had a nice house, nice clothes, and not a care in the world that is until the accident.

It was early winter and Drew was on his way to work, but this time was different. He was taking his daughter Rei to school. They laughed about silly things and sang songs on the radio as they drove down the road.

"Daddy,"

"Yes Rei"

"Why does it snow" Rei asked as she looked outside the window at the white snow falling silently on the ground. It was so pure and untainted.

"Because it does" Drew said not knowing what to say to his daughter's question. He smiled at her and she smiled back, but as he looked back at the road, suddenly a huge truck came crashing in their direction. The horn sounded off loud as the two cars emerged and hit each other hard.

Rei woke up in a hospital with a few cuts and bruises on her arms and face. But the sight that would burn in her memory would be her mother's face when she received the news. Her mother fell into Mark's arms and started to cry hysterically.

"No, God, No" she screamed. Rei wanted to cover her ears, but couldn't as she began to feel dizzy.

'What is happening? Why is my mother crying? Where is my daddy?' Rei thought.

"Mommy" Rei said quietly in the hospital bed as her mother looked to see her small child get up from the bed.

"Where is Daddy" She asked. Her mother put her hand over her mouth and the nurse went over to assist Rei.

"Dear you should lie down" The nurse said as she tried to put Rei back under the covers, but Rei refused, she wanted her father.

"No I want my daddy, where's my daddy?" Rei said slipping away from the nurse and past her mother in the hall. She raced down the hall in her white gown, looking for her father in every room. She shouted, and no one answered. No one answered.

But then there he was. On a stretcher, stone cold, not breathing, Rei saw him.

"Daddy wake up, wake up daddy" She said shaking him. But he didn't answer. The nurses took her away as she kicked and screamed down the hall, tears flowing down her face, all she wanted was her daddy.

A few weeks later, Rei was in her black dress looking at her father's casket. Colored flowers fell lay still on top of it. Rei stood still not understanding why. Why had God taken him away from her? Her father meant the world to her and now he was dead.

Her and her family packed up their things and moved away except fro her brother that is. Mark decided to drop out of school and leave the family. Rei cried for months over it. Her brother was the only one who she could talk to, that understood her. And now he was leaving. It seemed like everyone left in her life and the cycle would never stop.

A few years later her mother started to date again, and the more men she brought home, the more Rei's world would crash down like a plane in flames. Rei looked older for her age even though she was only around the age of 13, she could pass for a girl of 15 or 16, and boy did that appeal to the men, but one man in particular would have her dreaming of the haunting things he did to her.

"Don't tell" He used to tell her as he would leave the room. Rei sat there still and quiet until he would leave and then she would cry. He was abusive to her mother and she knew that she wouldn't ever say a word. But by the age of 14 she had had enough.

"Mom" Rei said one rainy, stormy night.

"Yeah hon." She said with a cigarette in her hand, looking more drunk than usual.

"Gary, he…he does things to me, puts things inside of me" She said as tear after tear flowed out of her eyes.

"What do you mean honey" Her mother said with a bottle in her hand.

"He molested me mom" She said upset and angry at the same time.

"It's ok, no big deal" She said so drunk that she didn't even know what her little girl was talking about. Rei could smell the alcohols on her breathe and a tear her heart seemed to break. It seemed to hurt. Rei ran as fast as she could with the wind in her face and the rain pouring down on her like a bucket of water. She ran and ran and ran. There was no stopping her. She wanted to run away from it all. Everything she had been through in the past few years. Just to run away from the blade, Gary, her mother, her father's death, her life. She stopped out of breathe and sat down on the sidewalk underneath part of a building where she could stay dry. She held her self tight, tying to warm up, but still she shook, shivering from the cold inside of her and out.

She looked behind her to see that the building was a radio shop. She heard the music and laid her head on the building. She closed her eyes and tried to go to sleep. She started to cry though when she heard a song that sparked every emotion inside of her.

Well I couldn't tell you why she felt that way she felt it every day

And I couldn't help her I just watched her make the same mistakes again

What's wrong what's wrong now too many too many problems

Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs

She wants to go home but nobody's home

It's where she lies

Broken inside

With no place to go, No place to go

To dry her eyes

Broken inside…

As Rei heard the song she started to cry even more. She looked around. She was on the streets by herself, with no place to go what so ever.

Her feelings she hides.
Her dreams she can't find.
She's losing her mind.
She's fallen behind.
She can't find her place.
She's losing her faith.
She's fallen from grace.
She's all over the place…

And with that Rei slept her first night out on the streets.

After a few more days on her own, she had met another young girl, Lena, the same age. She dressed revealingly and cussed more than anyone Rei had ever heard, but she liked her company.

"Hey you should come with me tonight, you could make some money" Lena said as Rei looked up at her while eating her small ice cream at the Baskin Robbins with her at the table. Rei knew what she was getting into with Lena. She had seen it before on Oprah and documentaries, but she needed the money and accepted.

By the next few weeks Rei was out of school and prostituting on the streets with Lena. She had made more money than she had ever seen in her lifetime in just a week. She and Lena had become best friends, always looking out for each other, because even though they made good money, the streets were dangerous. Everyday they heard about someone getting shot, arrested, or raped and they didn't want to end up on the six o'clock news with the rest of them. But fate had a different idea.

Rei was at their tiny hotel room where she was putting on her makeup when all of the sudden there was a knock on the door. She opened it to find their friend Hillary at the door.

"It's Lena, she's dead" She said out of breath as Rei's heart dropped. She had lost Lean, her best friend in the whole wide world. Lena meant everything to her and she was gone. Rei ran out of the building again running as fast as she could from her problems to the only place she could go, home.

But even though Rei was somewhat on the right path, going to school regularly, she still was a hurt and confused little girl inside. She cut herself deep and always wanted to cut her wrists or put a bottle of pills down her throat, but was too scared to do it. But when she went into a new high school, on account of her being expelled from her old one, she met Serena. The warm hearted girl who always had a smile on her face, or so she thought. But Rei had now grown to trust Serena and Serena had done the same. But still with her friendship, Rei still could hear the loud horn in her head, the blade on her skin, and the nightmares of Gary. It seemed as if it would never go away…

Ring- Ring

The phone began to ring and Rei picked up hoping it was her mother.

"Rei" Amy said as she picked up the phone.

"Yeah" Rei said taking another bite of her yogurt.

"Lita's been shot"

"What!"

Hey guys thanks so much for the reviews. YAY! You don't know how happy it makes me feel that people like my story. I hope you likes this chapter to get a feel for Rei, and the song is by Avril Lavigne "Nobody's Home". I thought it was appropriate.

Well please continue to stay with the story and keep reviewing. Thanks.
