CHAPTER 10: Flames of the Fire

CARRIES POINT OF VIEW:

Joey and I walked home hand in hand. I couldn't stop smiling. My heart was fluttering like it was flying in my chest.

"uh...Carrie..." Joey said.

"Yeah?" I replied.

"Maybe it's best if we don't tell Kenny and Katrina about this, ok?" He told me.

I shook my head yes.

"I understand. They wouldn't understand." I said.

Joey shook his head yes, and smiled again. he kissed me again on the cheek, as we let go of hands, and walked into the house. Joey and me froze in our tracks when we stepped in.

"WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?" shouted Joey.

I was still frozen. I knew something terrible happened. Katrina was crying into her hands on the couch, as an angry Kenny, buring flames through his ears stood before her.

"Our so called sister," Kenny said with sarcasm, "is such...is such a bad seed!"

"I"M NOT!" Katrina cried out.

"What happened?" I asked, finally finding my voice.

"Well, I went to Carries and Katrinas room, looking for more archie comic books," started Kenny. "But, that's not all I found."

"What did you found?" Joey said.

I was terrfied to find the answer, and I was frozen in fear, when Kenny said this...

"drugs."

"What kind of drugs?" Joey asked, fear in his voice.

"You name it," spat out Kenny, "pot, weed, crocaine...she's been selling them...she's a drug dealer."

"KATRINA!" I yelled out. "How could you?"

"and she's been doing them, too. I wondered why she was always throwing up, and had lots of money..." muttered Kenny.

"Katrina, you need help," Joey said, almost crying.

"NO!" Katrina cried out "I can go to jail, guys!"

"You deserve it," spat out Kenny.

That made Katrina cry out more.

"Look, you just need help." I told her. "you'll probley just need counsilling."

"NO!" shouted Katrina, kicking the table.

Everyone jumped.

"It's none of your buisness of what I'm doing!" spat out Katrina to Kenny.

Kenny backed up, as she slapped him right on the cheek.

I screamed, as Joey quickly grabbed me to protect me.

"KATRINA!" Kenny shouted. He tackled her to the ground, as Katrina was struggling to get out.

Joey and I were crying. This was a side we never saw of Katrina. Never of us guessed that Katrina was a druggie...now, we wondered if she had anger management problems. She always had a problem of anger, but not this violent.

Katrina still tried to get out of Kennys grip. She finally got her right hand free, as she took a vase, and chucked it at Kennys head.

Joey and I screamed, as Kennys head began to bleed, as he fell to the ground.

"KENNY!" we cried out.

Joey quickly ran to Katrina, as he stuffed her in a closet, and locked it. Katrina banged the door, but couldn't get out.

"We need to call the hospital, call an ambulance!" Joey shouted.

I obeyed.


AT THE HOSPITAL:

Kenny had a bad concussion. We didn't know if he was going to live or die. No, he couldn't die. Everyone I ever loved is dying. The nurses were trying to get katrina under control, as another nurse asked Joey and myself questions for Kenny and Katrina.

"Has Katrina ever had a history of violence?" askedthe male nurse.

"No," Joey said. "just after we figured out she did drugs...I think she might of been high."

Another male nurse came towards us.

"She had an over dose of drugs." he explained. "this is why she's acting like this. She's having a reaction to the drugs. We see this lots, she's going to be ok."

I was crying in my hands, as Joey held me.

Was Kenny going to be ok? Will Katrina get the help she needs?

I cried into Joeys shoulder, when a nurse came to us and said Kenny was pronouced dead.
