A angel in need
Chapter 5: Flashbacks
~Flashback~
I sighed as I put away the photo of my old best friend Lilly. The room had almost been unpacked,sure,it was a attic-but all it needed was some posters or something to lighten the mood.
"Kim,dear? Its time for school." Mother called.
"Comming Mom!" I yelled and ran down the stairs. She was making some eggs and baccon in the kitchen,father sitting at the table hungery.
"I'm just going to have an apple-don't want to be late!" I said,pecking Mother on the cheek and running for the door.
"Wait,Kimmy! No hugs for Dad?!" Father yelled after me,I rolled my eyes and ran back to hug him.
"By Dad!" I said and ran off. I grabed my skateboard and skated towards the school. Much to my parets disdain I had taken up skateboarding,but I enjoyed it too much to stop.
Speaking of stopping,I pulled my skateboard to a halt outside of the tall bulding.
"Seaford high,here I come." I muttered and stashed my skateboard underneath a thorn covered bush. You'd have to be insain to try to get it out.
"Wait a second... Shoot. How are YOU going to get it out,oh Smart One?!" My brain scolded me. Oh well...that was a later issue.
I shoved the rest of my apple in my mouth,and ran in. Luckily,by some miracle,I was early. I headed to the office and grabbed the papers I needed. I made my way over to my locker,number 427.
"414,420,ah ha! 427!" I thought happily. I stuffed all my assorted junk in the locker when I noticed the bell had rung and nobody else was in the hallway but me-or so I thought.
Some dude leaned on the lockers,and said,"Hey babe,I'm Drake. And you are?"
I slammed my locker,"Not interested."
"Thats what you think." Drake smirked,and pushed me against the lockers. He leaned forward,his breath tickling my neck-but I wasn't turned on in the least.
I had to think fast,I punched him in the gut,as he was doubled overed in pain I did a perfect side kick to his chest,knocking him over.
"You'll pay for that,girl!" He yelled at me,"I ruin you!"
"I'm so scared." I thought and then said,"Have fun with that."
"Oh I will. Just you see." He hissed and ran off. I rolled my eyes and walked to class.
...pagebreak...
Okay,now I offically hated lunch.
After I had gotten my lunch,I was met with freezing glares from all the tables. I returned the glares,though. The heat of my gaze battling with the frost of theirs. Drake caught my attention,he had a smirk that clearly said "I told you so" on his face. If I was closer,I would of wiped it right off his little rat-face.
But instead I decided to sit down alone at a empty table,I poked at my food-but decided to stay safe I wouldn't eat it. It looked like something dug up from the ground. I was overjoyed when the bell rang so I could get out of this bat-cave.
When I was heading out the door,some jerk stuck his foot out infront of me,causing me to trip. I picked myself up-ignoring the laughter erupting in the room.
Man I hate lunch.
...pagebreak...
When the last bell rang,I was glad school was over. When I passed by anyone,they backed away and started whispering. I also could hear what they where saying,and it hurt.
"Freak..." "Weirdo." "Avoid her..." "Dangerous Bitch!" At the last comment tears sprung to my eyes,but I ran out so nobody would see me. I had to seem as strong as stone,even though I was breaking on the inside. The door slammed behind me with a loud CLANG.
"Stupid Drake. What else was I could I have done? Are you happy now,Drake? Huh? Are you happy?" I thought,tears raining on my face.
I shoved my hand in the thorn bush to get my skateboard,I didn't feel the pain. I just felt the hurt of rejection.
"I wish I could turn back the clock,and be home on the porch with Lilly. Drinking lemon-aid and talking about ponies. Anything! I just wish I could go away from here." The thought bounced around in my head. I sighed and hopped on my skateboard,and went home.
"Mom?" I called out when I walked in. I noticed the broken bottles around the floor. "What happened?" I wondered aloud.
"It's none of your business,slut!" A harsh voice cut through the still air.
I turned around,"Mother?!" I exclaimed. I could smell wine on her breath,and I saw father was passed out on the couch.
"Your Father got layed off today,slut! It's your fault!" She spat. This wasn't the mother I knew.
"How is it my fault?!" I asked in shock. Instead of answering,she shoved me on the ground-narrowly missing the glass.
"Get to your room!" She spat. I nodded and ran upstairs,then collasped on my bed.
"Why,why me? What did I do to deserve this? Please tell me,I promise I'll try to fix it! Please.." I prayed sliently in tears.
Please...

Jack.
I stared in shock at the girl next to me as she finished her story,her head was down. I put my arm around her,but she still avoided my gaze. I gently moved her head to meet my eyes,I saw she was crying.
"It's okay,Kim. It's going to be okay,you have me now." I said soothingly,pulling her closer.
"I'm sorry you have to see me cry." She whispered,and looked up at me with her brown eyes glassy.
"It's fine. You can cry around me anytime you want." I told her. She nodded,trying to dry her tears.
Suprisingly,she fell asleep in my arms. I picked her up and put her on my bed,a blanket over her. I sat down beside her,and reached for my guitar. I strummed a few notes before a song I had heard before came to me.
"She stood out in the crowd, was a little too loud
But that's why we love her
She's not like other girls
She could have conquered the world
Until you broke her down
Are you happy now
That she's on the ground?
And do you realize the words you say make bruises that don't fade away
Are you happy now
That you've brought her down?
And she's thinking that she won't fit in
'Cause you said something's wrong with her
Are you happy now?
He liked science not sports
He knew what he stood for
He's not like you, you don't like that
15 years down the road
He could be everything that you won't
But right now you're breaking him down
Are you happy now
That he's on the ground?
And do you realize the words you say make bruises that don't fade away
Are you happy now
That you've brought him down?
And he's thinking that he won't fit in
'Cause you said something's wrong with him
Are you happy now?
I've heard that it was done to you
Is that why you do what you do?
Well that's no excuse, no
And if it felt like hell to you
Then why'd you want to put them through what hurt you?
Are you happy now
That you've brought them down?
I-I-I I don't think so
Are you happy now
That they're on the ground?
And do you realize the words you say make bruises that don't fade away
Are you happy now
That you've brought them down?
And they're thinking that they won't fit in
'Cause you said something's wrong with them
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?"
I put my guitar away and sighed, rubbing the tiredness out of my eyes. "I really need some sleep."
I glanced over at the sleeping form on my bed and smiled. Kim's face was calm and peaceful, as if she was dreaming. I walked over, but hesitated.
"Dude, if she wakes up and sees you next to her, she could flip out... You met her today!"
"Hey, have you slept on the floor? It's not comfortable!"
"Suck it up and be chivalrous."
As I struggled with my conscience, I noticed Kim tossing and turning restlessly. That did it. I climbed in, careful not to wake her.
"Shhh, it's alright," I whispered rubbing her back. She sighed and relaxed. I instinctively pulled her close and shut my eyes.
"Screw chivalry, this is called compassion..."
