Seven
You know how there is that unnatural quiet before an oncoming storm? Yeah, that was how it felt while I stood in front of this really good looking guy as he took of his sunglasses.
Then just like the first drizzle of rain, I heard the click of heals coming across the pavement.
"Hey Max? I forgot my lunch money at home. Do you think I could have some of your money so I can eat?" Lissa looked at me with that look that said if I didn't do what she said I would get no dinner. I pulled out my wallet and forked over six dollars knowing I would never get it back. Snatching the money from my hand she turned on one heel to face Dylan, but when she caught sight of Fang...
"Oh My God! Your Nick Walker!" she screeched she grabbed his hand and started shaking it vigorously. "Hi I'm Lissa Ride! I absolutely love your band, and your lyrics are absolutely beautiful. The way that your voice harmonizes with the guitar is breath taking..."
My jaw almost hit the floor as Lissa went on to mention a bunch of other music terms- half of which I had no idea what they meant. I mean just yesterday she was saying how the Beetles had stolen Justin Bieber's hair style which lead to an epic face-palm from me, Gazzy and Angel.
"Well," Fang started a little overwhelmed by Lissa's introduction, "I can see that you like music."
"Oh absolutely! I actually hope to become as famous as you someday." She winked at him making me gag. I then realized that lightning had just struck my plans to get out of her grip.
"You write music?"
"Yeah! I do! Why don't you come see! I left my song book inside though, so we might as well go in." she smiled at him and started walking inside. When she was out of earshot Dylan leaned over looked at the rest of us.
"Uh... Lissa can't sing for the life of her... How could she suddenly become so talented..."
"I can answer that one." I muttered to myself."
After school I walked int my bedroom setting my book bag on the floor next to my bed. After taking a shower and throwing my hair up into a sloppy pony-tail I set to work on some homework to get my mind off the failed chance to get away form my miserable life.
I was about halfway through the last problem when I heard the patting of bare feet in the hallway outside my room. I got up off the floor and went to open the door for one of the little ones that were probably coming to tell me that Lissa or Victoria were looking for me. I opened the door wide to face who was outside.
In a flash of red hair I was on my back with the wind knocked out of me.
Gasping for breath I realized that Lissa was on top of me. I looked at her to see her frowning at me in utter disgust.
She was also holding a kitchen knife.
"Lissa..." I gasped, "What... the HELL... are you... doing?"
"I'm teaching you a lesson." she said flipping me onto my back, which also surprised me because I didn't think she was that strong, "I know exactly what you were thinking when you saw that Nick Walker was your little friends brother."
I heard tearing as my shirt was sliced open with the kitchen knife exposing my whole back.
"You were going to ruin my chances of meeting with him and my chances of becoming famous, you were probably going to seduce him like the fucking slut you are." she hissed into my ear.
I then felt Lissa put her knee onto my shoulder and grab my arm. She yanked my arm hard, dislocating it. A great screech erupted from my lips.
Then I felt the coolness of the blade on my back.
"LISSA PLEASE! NO!" I screamed begging her to leave me alone.
"You're lucky that I'm letting you live. I need your voice after all."
Lissa started to carve into my back. The blade was dragged in different forms that I could not make out through the tears and my screaming.
She dragged the blade straight across my back again and got up.
"Don't think of doing anything to oppose me, slut. I'll know." she exited the room a smile growing across her face.
I laid there for what felt like days.
It had only been two hours.
The bleeding on my back had stopped and I had relocated my shoulder, making me cry out again.
I got up and went to the bathroom a few doors down. I went in and saw that my shoulder was already starting to bruise.
Slowly I turned around to see the damage Lissa had made. I gasped as I saw she had wrote her thoughts of me across my back underlining it for emphasis.
SLUT.
She had written her thoughts of me to the world on my back.
I rummaged around in the drawers and found an ace bandage. I wrapped it around my back to cover up the tender aria, and trudged back to my room.
Falling on my bed I grabbed my iPod, jamming the ear buds into my ears. Wildfire's song End of Your Rope came on and I started to cry as Fang's voice filled my head.
End of Your Rope
It's a long life
In a small world
With no one to hold you up
I know how it feels
To be alone
When your holding on
To the end of your rope
Will you finally look up
To see who is holding on
To the other end
Holding you up
You and your biggest burdens
I'm holding on
It's a painful road
With a broken heart
And trying to pick up
The pieces
You feel so alone
In a world that
Would easily pass you by
When your holding on
To the end of your rope
Will you finally look up
To see who is holding on
To the other end
Holding you up
You and your biggest burdens
I'm holding on
Hold yon to those
Who will never
Let you down!
When your holding on
To the end of your rope
Will you finally look up
To see who is holding on
To the other end
Holding you up
You and your biggest burdens
I'm holding on
