Chapter 2 - Talking to Katie/ Bad Boyfriends

The doorbell rang.

"Well, that's Katie, I'll be right back." Said Freddy.

He walked down the stairs and answered the door.

"Hi Freddy."

"Hi Katie. She's upstairs in her room."

"Okay, but before we go up, I wanted to talk to you."

"About what?"

"You need to know why she is reacting the way she it to her mother's death." They went and sat down on the couch in the living room, " When summer was still really little her father walked out on her and her mother. Before he left, out of 'the goodness of his heart' he made her a tape of him talking to her, to be given to her on her fifteenth birthday. Last month the day before her birthday, her mother told her about the tape and asked her is she wanted to see it. She said the she did want to see it. And that was the biggest mistake of her like. It started out nice, 'well today's your fifteenth birthday' and all that shit, but then his like alternate personality came out or something weird like that happened and he started saying really mean things. Things like that all she was, was a really big mistake that he could never take back. So basically all her life it's just been her and her mom. Our friendship couldn't even compare to the bond that they had."

"Wow. If I were her I would be reacting the exact same way."

"Yeah, me too."

Just then the phone started to ring. Freddy walked over to check the called ID. It was Damien, Summer's boyfriend.

"Should I answer it?" Freddy asked, "It's Damien."

"No, just leave it." Katie replied. "He's such an asshole."

"Then why is she dating him?"

"I really don't know."

They went up to Summer's room. Right before they went inside the phone started to ring again. They walked inside and checked the caller ID on the phone in Summer's room.

Katie spoke gently, "Summer, Dameon's calling, do you want us to answer it?" she paused for a moment thinking of how to get an answer from the petite girl on the bed, "Blink once for yes, and twice for no."

Summer blinked twice.

Katie walked away from the phone and sat on the side of Summer's bed.

"Summer, listen to me. We all know you are in pain right now, but your friends need you. The band needs you." The band had still been going strong, and Summer was still their favorite manager, not to mention their ONLY manager. "We're your friends, you can talk to us. Tell us how you feel. Can you do that summer?"

Summer's eyes closed. Opened. Closed. Then opened again.

The phone rang again. Freddy walked over to the phone, even though he was already pretty sure who it was. He looked at Katie.

"It's Dameon."

They both looked at Summer, who blinked twice, but this time Dameon was being a little more stubborn. He left a message, an angry one at that.

"Summer? Its Dameon, I know you're there." There was a pause, "Answer the god damn phone Summer!" another pause. Then a click signaling Dameon hanging up the phone. They could all tell he was really pissed off.

The three of them sat in silence for a while. Until the doorbell rang. Katie was closest to the door so she went to answer the front door.

As she was going through the door Freddy said, "Three guesses who that is."

Sure enough when Katie opened the door Dameon was standing there, leaning up against the wall.

"Where is she?" he said in a menacing tone.

"Her room." Katie replied simply, in fear of getting him even angrier.

She walked to the kitchen and found Freddy sitting on a stool, drinking a Dr. Pepper.

"I thought I should give them their privacy." He said

"Yeah, me too."

They heard a raised voice. They knew it was Dameon, and he was obviously yelling at her.

So they walked up the stairs and entered Summer's room just as Dameon said, "ANSWER ME BITCH!" He brought up hand, ready to slap her. He started to bring it down and she didn't even flinch. Just before it could connect with her cheek, something grabbed his wrist, stopping it mid-air. That something was Freddy.

Freddy threw Dameon across the room, toward the door. He led Dameon into the next room shoving him in and locking the door behind himself.

"Dameon, what the fuck do you think you're doing? Do you even know what kind of shit she's going thorough right now? Or do you know, and just not care? Her mom just DIED so she sure as hell doesn't need anymore shit from you. So you know what? I never want to see you anywhere near her, EVER again. If you do I will personally make sure you will never see the light of day again."

Dameon had been silent this whole time, but now he picked up a lamp that was on a table near by. He threw it full force at Freddy, who caught it just inches from breaking a few ribs. Then Dameon picked up another lamp and threw it at the wall right next to Freddy, where it broke into many sharp pieces. As soon as he threw it, Dameon walked through the door and kept walking out of the house.

Freddy calmly walked into Summer's room. A worried Katie grabbed his hand and led him back out to the hall.

"I heard a really loud crash. Are you okay? You're bleeding." She said gently touching his forehead where a piece of the lamp had cut him when the broken pieces went flying.

"Yeah, I'm fine, but Summer has WAY to many lamps in her house." He said with a smile, but then turned serious. "He wont be bothering her anymore, I made sure of it."

"Well, that's good, because he's hurt her enough, and I don't just mean emotionally. I was trying to get her to sit up so she would eat something, and when I touched her back she flinched. She had a huge bruise and I asked her if it was from Dameon, and it was."

Freddy's eyes turned cold with hate. He started to leave but Katie gently put a hand on his chest to stop him.

"Forget about him Freddy. You said he was already taken care of. Summer isn't, she really needs us."

Freddy's eyes turned back to normal and they walked back into Summer's room.

"Summer, we still don't know where you are going to stay because you definitely aren't going to stay here." Katie said trying to get everyone's minds off of Dameon.

"She could probably stay with you for a while, Katie." Freddy suggested.

"Yeah, my mom would definitely let her," she said, then turned to Summer, "you're already like a daughter to her. But the real question is, do you WANT to stay with me, Summer?"

Summer blinked once.

"Okay, I'll go call my mom." She said then left the room. Freddy sat down on Summer's bed.

"Why didn't you ever tell us about Dameon being abusive? We could have done something about it sooner." He shifted so he was sitting next to Summer, he put his arm around her and she rested her head on his shoulder. Freddy felt his shirt get slightly wet from tears in a matter of seconds.

Katie walked in and she seemed as happy as she could really get at a time like that.

"Well, my mom said it would be alright for you to stay with us for a while, so I'll just get some clothes for you and stuff like that. " she said as she started rummaging through Summer's stuff.

"If I could, you would trade lives with you, just so you don't have to deal with it all." Freddy whispered in Summer's ear. And the ends of Summer's mouth formed small curves, almost a smile.
