Black Twisted Soul

I woke up to music playing loudly. I sat up in bed, yawning. Damn it! The sun isn't even up yet! Well since I'm up I'll change into the bight jumpsuit. I put on a black shirt underneath the jumpsuit. Even in the dark I could see the knife marks that covered my arms. I was glad I only had dark long sleeve shirts with me.
I got in line and got my shovel and my tortilla covered in honey. The tortilla wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. A hand grabbed my shoulder. Making me hit the person right between the ribs with the handle of the shovel. The hand let go and I recognized the oof sound.
"Sorry Jason. At least I didn't hit you a little farther south." I said spinning around to see Jason holding his ribs, doubled over.
"I'm glad you didn't hit down stairs." He managed to stand straight again "What tent are you in?"
That was kind of a random question. "D for dumbass. You?"
"E and I don't know what it stands for."
"Figures."
Jason chuckled as we headed to the places were gonna dig. I got to dig next to Zero, Magnet, and Squid. I managed to get a quarter, or half, of my hole done before lunch. I suck at math. Fractions at least. I took some crackers from Dr. Pendanski and a sandwich. Everyone was surprised that I had hardly touched my water the whole time. I finished my hole seconds after Zero finished his. I didn't feel like leaving so I sat on the edge of Magnet's hole.
"You're done already?" Magnet asked surprised.
"It's no that hard to dig a hole." came my reply.
I started to sing the first song that popped into my mind.
'I must have dreamed a thousand dreams,
Been hunted by a million screams,
But I can hear the marching feet,
They're moving into the street,
Now did you read the news today,
They say the danger's gone away,
But I can see the fire's still alight,
There burning into the night,
There's too many men,
Too many people,
Making to many problems,
And there's not much love to go 'round,
Can't you see,
This is the land of confusion.'
"You've got a good voice." Squid told me.
"Thanks." I smiled. " I'm heading back."
Squid and ZigZag finished while I was singing, so we walked back together. After the short cold shower, I headed back to the tent. I saw Zero just laying on his bed doing nothing.
"Why are you just laying there?" I asked him, but got no answer.
I walked to my back pack and pulled out an ice cold Coke. It amazed me that it was still cold. I tossed it to him. It landed on his chest. He looked at me funny.
"Dude, I didn't do anything to it."
"How'd you get it?" he finally spoke.
"I brought a 24 pack. Good thing they didn't check it." I smiled at him.
Zero chugged down the Coke pretty fast.
"Want to head to the rec room?" I asked.
"Sure." he smiled.
I started to leave the tent when he stopped me. "Kayla… what were you trying to say at dinner last night. About your friend Jason protecting you from someone."
I was hoping that nobody would say anything about it. "If I told you would you promise not to tell anyone?"
Zero nodded.
I removed the top half of the jumpsuit, tying the arms around my waist. I rolled up my sleeves, revealing the knife marks. Zero's eyes widened. A huge cut went all the way down my arm.
"My father does this to me everyday, for stupid reasons. Sometimes I run away from him and hide at Jason's house for a weeks." The truth was out.
