Chapter 8:
Hackensack, New Jersey
Ellie walked down the hall towards her classroom, she tried to focus on reaching the room but instead she could feel the eyes of her classmates upon her. She knew they were all talking about her, "slut" she heard them mutter or sneer as she scurried past them. They didn't even know what happened, only she knew. Ellie was once known as the quiet, timid girl in high school, now she was known as the slut who got pregnant. Her high school was now a place of nightmares, she was petrified of leaving home and entering the school were people could be so cruel and evil. She loved her son, little Bobbie, she loved to hear his cute little gurgles and watch adorable little smiles wipe across his face as she rubbed his belly. She begged her mother to allow her to leave school, so she could be a real mother, but her mother told her "an education is important".
The hallway seemed to go on forever, the shiny green tile floor loomed in front of her. The whispers of her classmates cloed in around her, bounding over the closed wooden doors of other classes and stark off white cement walls. She stood motionless outside the class door, she grabbed the door handle then she heard "whore". A tear rolled down her cheek, before she spun around and scurried down the hallway. "I can't do this" she told herself as she exited the school and made her way towards the security of her home.
Suddenly she was overwhelmed with worry and panick, when she heard the cries of her son come from inside the house she shared with her mother. Opening the door, she screamed "Bobbie, Mom" when she noticed candles lined the walls and on the wall was a symbol painted in a crimson coloured liquid. Tears began streaming down her cheeks as she followed her sons cries, before she suddenly slipped on a pool of blood. Letting out a startling screech, she laid eyes on her mothers dead body, there was a look of horror on the corpses face and symbols had been sliced into her cheeks. "Mommy" whimpered Ellie as she crawled towards the corpse. Suddenly Ellie closed her eyes tightly and screamed in agony, as she felt a searing pain in her chest as she was viciously stabbed repeatedly in the back. Blood spewed from the gaping hole in her back and blood poured from her mouth. Then she saw the man, the monster who had attacked her, he had haunting electric blue eyes. He took of the gloves he was wearing and bent down beside the dying woman. His hands were rough and cold as he brushed her blood soaked her from her face, before he dipped his finger in her blood then licked it clean. "Please" she murmered before she felt his hands wrap slowly around her neck.
...
Retreating to the bathroom, Tiffany locked the door behind her and sat on the edge of the bathtub. Clutching a piece of tissue, tears gathered in her eyes and began streaming down her cheeks as she thought back to the events of last night. She couldn't stop thinking about Angel, and the fear she had in her eyes as she was raped by Eddie. Eddie was in the livingroom, on the telephone when he heard Tiffany's loud sobs, putting the phone down, he strolled to the bathroom and knocked on the door. "Tiffany, are you okay" he asked caringly as he slowly opened the door
"I just can't stop, thinking about it" sniffled Tiffany
"About what" questioned Eddie as he sat beside her and reassuring wrapped her arms around her
"The girl, at Lila's house" murmered Tiffany tearfully
"Don't be stupid, Angel's just a whore...I bet she wasn't even a virgin. Lila's all about business, you know that, you knew what was going to happen when we arrived there"
"I know, but last night, I just couldn't help see myself in the girl" mumbled Tiffany
"What do you mean"
"I've got something to tell you, only Lila knows about it" nervously stuttered Tiffany, before shockingly revealing "I was raped, when I was younger...I was raped by my father, then by one of my moms friends". Tiffany looked at Eddie, she gazed right into his eyes as he sat motionless, he looked shocked and confused, then she asked "am I unattractive now, don't you love me...anymore". Eddie stuttered quietly, Tiffany couldn't understand his quiet mumblings, she stroked his face but he pulled away. "I love you" cried Tiffany as he leaped to his feet and rushed out of the bathroom. Tiffany slowly collapsed onto the floor, before crying into the palms of her hands.
She couldn't gather the strength to stand up, so instead she chose to crawl into the livingroom and phone Lila "He's left me, Lila, he's gone...I told him what had happened" whimpered Tiffany
"Oh, honey don't worry" advised Lila before admitting "he's probably shocked, he doesn't understand okay...don't worry"
"I think I've lost him, I don't know what I'll do" sobbed Tiffany
"Sshh, don't worry...he's probably making his way over to mine, right now" calmly replied Lila before adding "I'll see you later, don't worry, honey...everything will be fine"
"I've still got to go out, I've got to go the alleyway, just get some money"
"No, don't it's to dangerous there" Lila replied before worrying "anything could happen, it's to dangerous"
"Okay, but I think am going to go out, just to get some fresh air"
"You should, if you want come to my place...okay hun'" suggested Lila before Tiffany put the phone down and walked into her bedroom.
