A angel in need
Chapter 3: Alone on the road
Kim.
I was walking home, dreading what my parents would say about how late I was.
I know they forbid me to go to the skate park, but it's the only place I feel at home, cuz my home is pretty messed up
Just then, I heard the sound of someone skateboarding.
"Nobody in this neighborhood skateboards, especially at night..."
My paranoia went up a notch. I turned around just in time to see a skater wipeout in the ditch next to the stop sign.
I wouldn't have walked over, but I saw the skateboard. Custom painted black and red flames.
"Wait a sec... that's my board! What's this jerk doing, using my board!?"
Little to say, I was mad. I know I left my board at the skate park, but the guys know me. No one's allowed to touch it.
I stomped over, horn mad. Just as I was about to chew this guy out, I saw his face.
It was that guy I knocked into at school. I was stunned. The guy got up, wincing. I noticed how tall and muscular he was compared to me.
I shook the thought from my head.
"What are you doing with my board?" I barked.
He looked at me, flustered."Oh, uh, I-I saw you left it at the skate park a-and I wanted to give it back to you".
"He followed me to the skate park!? This guy is new."
"And who gave you permission to use my board?"
The guy looked embarrassed. " I just thought it would be quicker. You were running and I wanted to keep up with you. "
"He seems decent."
"What is your name?" I asked as he stood up.
"Jack, Jack Brewer. And you're Kim Crawford, I'm told."
"Of course someone's told him my reputation"
"Why have you been following me?" I asked, my eyes narrowed.
Jack flustered again. "Well because... Okay everyone keeps telling me to avoid you because you're some sort of bad person. But I don't see you that in you. I see just a girl who is hiding a lot of pain and sadness and I want to help."
"Oh my gosh, no one has seen me like that."
Jack had seen right through me wih those ... amazing chocolate brown eyes...
"This guy's dangerous, I have to get away. "
"Thank you for returning my skateboard, but I have to go home now," I said.
"Can I walk you home,?" he replied. My heart froze.
"No, you can't. I'm sorry, but I wish you hadn't followed me here. I'll...see you at school."
And with that I took my skateboard, hopped on, and rode home as fast as I could.
Reaching the house, I stashed my skateboard under the bush and walked in softly.
My mother was waiting for me.
"What took you so long? You've been out for ages!" she screamed.
"I'm sorry, mom," I said quietly as I tried to back out of the room. She grabbed me by the arm.
"Tell the truth! what were you doing?" she screeched
"I was ... talking to a boy at the skate park." I whispered as quietly as I could.
My mother started sneering. "Sweetie, do you really think he was interested in you? Can't be, by the looks of your slutty clothes," she said, pinching my long sleeve sweater. She said this no matter what I was wearing. I nodded, trying not to anger her further.
"Now you listen to me. Mama didn't raise a **, so you better not talk to him ever again. I can't have you going off being all friendly and getting knocked up. I don't need another brat to take care of. Now go to your room!" She yelled as she slapped me in the face. I sprinted up to my room in the attic. The window was open, letting a cool breeze in. I threw myself upon my bed and just sobbed.
"Why? Why me?!"
Jack POV
I sadly turned round and walked another way to my house so as not follow Kim.
"You really screwed it up"
I got home and went up to my room in the attic.
The room felt like an oven so I open the window. And what did I see next door... but a blonde girl on her bed crying her eyes out.
"Kim?"
