I slamed my fist on the alarm clock and sat up groggily hating that I was up at 5:45. Especially with my last night shift, it's almost like Kevin purposely kept coming up with excuse to keep me there in hopes I would sleep through my alarm. Ha, that will be the day when Kevin does something 'evil'!
I got up and started to get ready not wanting to miss my flight. It's been a month since I told Chase about Ouran and now its finally time to go, ever since Chase found out he seemed different. He stopped talking to me, and he stopped the beatings, the ones for no reason but if I messed up my punishment wasn't as bad as normal.
For example last year I accidentally burnt his chicken and for punishment he held my hand down on a hot burner for a good minute. Just yesterday I cooked his stake to long and it was sort of burnt andnreally weel done when he likes it medium rare, all he did was a punch to the face and a kick to my stomic. Well what ever it is that makes him act this way I'm not complaining.
I brushed out my long red hair and put my hair in a messy but cute bun and put on light makeup wanting to make a good first impression. Just a bit of mascara and eye liner around my grey eyes and powder on my face. After that I decided to wear something comfterble for the 8 to 9 hour flight. Sliding on a dark purple tank top and black leggings with dark purple flats I grabbed my roller light blue suitcase and black purse before quitly leaving the room hoping to just sneak out without Chase noticing. But just my luck, I go in the living room to see Chase sitting in the corner looking like he stayed up all night waiting for me.
I walked further into the room rolling my suit case closer to me "Chase... Your up early" I said awkwardly.
"I was afraid that as soon as I was asleep you would try to leave, Brook you look so much like Maria" I felt bile rise in my throught when he said my mothers name, he doesn't get that right to say her name with the way he's been acting. "Don't go Brook your needed here, I-I-I need you here" he finished and stood up. I almost gagged as his sent wafted over to me doused in alcohol, this isn't good I need to get out, now!
"I have to go to school for an education Chase, you'll be fine on your own." I told him hoping he would understand but this just made him angry as he came stomping up.
I stumbled back to get away but my suit case tripped me up and while regaing my balance he had grabbed me and threw me into the wall. I gasped as black spots filled my vision from hitting my head and I slid down slowly coming to a rest on the floor. He grabbed my neck before slowly dragging me back up and pinned me to the wall. I scratched at his hands and kicked my feet in hopes to let him relase me, why don't I know how to fight, why do I have to be such a weakling.
"Why! Why are you leaving me! I've been nothing but caring and nice for you and your not even my daughter! I could've had them throw you on to the streets but I didn't! I took you in and raised you like you where my own! Then you go and do something like this!" He yelled flinging spit in my face and hitting the wall just right to my head making me flinch. He has not been treating me with care! Unless he thinks abuse is a sign of love that is.
When I never said anything he threw me on the flour roughly and pointed to the door before screaming for me to get out. Scrambling to my feet I grabbed my stuff and ran tears threatning to come out but I held them back not wanting to seem weaker then I already am. While walking to the park I checked to make sure I had everything not wanting to have to come back.
Wallet... check.
Sun glasses... check.
Cheep flip phone... check.
Lip gloss... check.
Ipod... check.
Passport... check!
Ok I think I got everything! I put on the sun glass I got free when I went to the Walmart thats just outside the naybour hood. I reached the park and sat on the bench waiting for Kevin to pull up and give me a ride. I looked back into my bag and fingured the Ipod and thought of if I should keep it or not.
FLASHBACK
"Happy anniversary Nequam" Jason whispered in my ear and handed me a nicley wrapped small package in red wrappping paper.
I giggled and took the one month anniversary present. "You know you never told me what that nickname means" I told him softly not feeling any need to talk any louder by how close we were.
"Oh don't worry about it, just a latin word that I think fits you perfectly" he said before urging me to open the package. I did as he said and opened the gift and my breath got cought in my throught as I looked at the brand new ipod.
"Jason... I can't/" He cut me off with a glare.
"Yes you can. I know how much you love music and you need this ipod to be able to dance so that you can practice at home and play your own music at the studio for your class. Besides I like to buy you nice things since you can't, I want to make sure my girl gets what she wants"
I was about to aurge some more but one look in his determined eyes made me changed my mind. I smilled before hugging him with all my might, I started to pull back but stayed in his embrace so that we were face to face. He leaned in and started to cloes his eyes.
What is he doing? When I realized he wanted to kiss I froze up and quickly turned my head the other way making him kiss my cheek.
Now don't get me wrong I would love to kiss Jason, he's nice, caring, and having light blond hair and dark brown eye's with a surfer's body doesn't hurt either. And there's also the fact that I love him and all but I just can't. You see Jason use to be a playboy, had a new girlfriend at least every two weeks, the longest realationship I saw him in was two months. And I refuse to let that happen to me, he told me he changed though and to at least give him a shot so I did. What he doesn't know is I don't plan to do any kissing with him to show that we are a close couple until after two months so that I know he's serious. I mean this way we don't get to close so that if he's not interested then no ones hurt. Right?
When he pulled back he looked angry but seemed like he was trying to hide it, but I could tell by his stiff shoulders and tense jaw. He glanced behind me and at his watch before jumping up all of a sudden.
"Oh man I was suppose to be home 20 minutes ago sorry to shut this so short but I gotta go or my mom will blow a fuse" He told me in a rush before jogging out to his car and leaving the park waving out the window. I felt my heart give a tight squeeze as I realized he left me here alone... at 11:37 pm... with no way but to walk the mile home... in the dark. Now I know what your thinking, you do this all the time after your shift at the bar, wrong I walk to there but Kevin always gives me a ride home saying that I might get jumped and that it is dangerous to walk alone at night. Not really sure what that means completely but I think it just means someone mugs you... I don't know why we have to have all these different names for stuff when it all means the same thing.
Grumbling under my breath I stood up from the bench and slowly made my way back to my house.
END OF FLASHBACK
I shook my head to not think of that but thinking of him just made me think of the way we broke up. Fighting with my mind I tried to keep busy like counting the number of ducks in the lake... 23. But evintually I was sucked into the vertex of my memories.
◆◇◆◇◆◇ FLASHBACK ◇◆◇◆◇◆
It's been a week since my one month anniversary and I resived a text from Jason.
Hey Nequam ;) -Jason
It took me a couole minutes to reply only having a number pad but I did it.
Hey handsome -Brook
It was then that I remembered that I still don't know what that means only that Jason says it's latin and thinks it fits me perfectly. Grabbing my ipod I got on Google. Don't ask me how I have wifi cause I don't know, all I know is we don't have a computer but we an internet connection. Anyways I typed up 'what is the english traslation of the latin word Nequam'. When the answer came up I almost cried and exited out immediately before standing up. That must have been a mistake theres no way Jason would call me... that! I grabbed some shoes before running out the door and heading to the park thats about a mile away. It's Tueday morning so I know he's there with his friends playing basketball.
When I finally made it I saw him joking and laughing with his friends, it wasn't till I was in hearing range that I heard what he was talking about.
"Man this girl is alot harder then the others, usally by now they have all opened up and let me in, but this one hadn't even let me kiss her yet!" He exclaimed making the others 'ooooh' him. "But man she is worth the wait have you seen her lately?! Not only that but by the way she acts I know she still holds that flower close to her" ok by now I figured out he's talking about me but... what are they talking about?
"Man if you don't hurry up I might just barge in myself and take her as my own" one of his friends, Tj I think, said loudly, at this I blushed, as if I would ever date you!
"Even though she's a full year younger then all of you, you would try and get in her pants!" One of his closer friends, Max, joked and they all laughed and a lot of them nodded.
"Dude why else would I even hook up with her! Oh and have you heard what I call her yet? Nequam!" He said and started laughing by now one of the boys noticed me and stopped laughing and started making subtle movements to make him stop. "When I took that latin class I thought it was all for nothing till I had to come up with a nick name for her!" By now her was laughing so hard he dropped the ball. "The word means worthless and good for nothing! I decided that the only thing she's good for is in bed and since she isn't opening up for now she's worthless! Nothing but a Nequam! Haha" he was laughing so hard now he had tears and the rest of the boys had completely noticed me and were now trying to make him stop. "I think the saddest part is she doesn't even know what the word means but goes along with it!" He finished laughing so hard to where he was leaning on his knees with a red dace and tears rolling down his face, I'm sure our faces were identical right now. I was enraged. No I was angrier then enraged so angry that I don't even know what to call it making my face red and angry tears leak out. Not only that but I was embarrassed that he would say such things to his friends. Sadly I was also upset to where I wanted to cry sad tears not just angry ones, I loved him and this whole time he was just trying to get into my pants. All those girls! I thought he just messed with their feelings then dumped them but I guess not! Eew it's a good thing I didn't kiss him who knows who else he kissed!
"Hey what are you guys staring at?" He asked his friends when he calmed down enough to realize they were silent. Before he could turn around I picked up the biggest rock I could find and chucked it right at his head.
Bullseye.
"I guess your gonna have to find a new nick name for me Jason, as it turns out I guess I'm not as worthless as you think. I have a good arm." I told him and he turned around shock all over his face.
"Brook I can explain" he said before I raised up my hand and stopped him.
"Save it. We're done. I never want to see you agian." I told him in clipped short sentences before turning around and leaving.
I bite my lip, maybe I was a bit rude... should I apologize for hitting him with a rock? Wait what am I thinking! He totally made a fool out of me! He desirved to be hit by a rock, it's bad enough I have to deal with Chase but I refuse to deal with his crap to,
◇◆◇◆◇◆ END OF FLASHBACK ◆◇◆◇◆◇
I shook my head hoping to get ride of the horrible thoughts and the tears threatning to spill over. I was so stupid not to have seen it before! I mean obviously a play boy means they sleep around I just didn't think teenager did that sort of thing! Man I sound so stupid. It wasn't till I noticed a couple staring at me that I released I had tears running down my face. I quickly wiped them away in embarrassment and sent them a small smile before avoiding eye contact.
Well... this is awkward.
Just then a red truck pulled up next to me and I looked up to see Kevins smiling face. I jumped up and got in the front seat happy to avoid the stares.
"Ready?" He asked me.
I smiled "As I'll ever be".
