Chapter 10: A New Fear
**Kate's POV**
~~2 Days Later, 10:00 am~~
"I-I don't think I can do this!" I yelped as I glanced at the boat with a cautious expression.
Jordan smiled. "Oh, come on. You won't fall off the boat. Plus, you're getting to be a pro at swimming! And there are life jackets, and rails to help you keep on and..." He was rambling on about the ways I would remain safe.
"But what if I do fall of the boat? What if I'm too shocked that I can't swim? What if my life jacket falls off when I fall? What if I flip over the rails?" I countered.
Jordan rolled his eyes and pushed me on the boat. "Enough complaining. Let us sail! I call first on the tube!" Jordan called out before Travis could. He grabbed my hand, raising it. "And she is going with me." He smirked at my glare.
"I am not going tubing." I confirmed, crossing my arms.
"Yes you are." Jordan mimicked my actions, earning another glare.
"Well, fight all you want, but we're going!" Autumn shouted as the motor stared to rumble.
Despite my argument with Jordan, I clung on to him as we drove out of the docks. "You could have given us a warning!" I growled when I lost balance and tumbled to the floor.
"I did!" Autumn countered.
Travis stood me up and started to tease me. "Kit Kat is afraid! Kit Kat is afraid!" He sang, dancing around me.
I stood there, glaring at nothing, while Travis laughed and danced, Jordan stood and laughed, and David watched from afar. Suddenly, Travis, Jordan, and I all fell down when the boat tipped upwards in the front. I screamed and clung onto what ever I could find. I glanced behind us to find that Autumn was speeding through the almost deserted lake.
"WWOOOHOOO!" Autumn shouted.
I buried my face into something soft and black, not caring what it was. That is, until I felt a rumbling laughter. I glanced up to see I had my face buried in Jordan's chest. My face grew heated and I tried to find a seat. I finally found one and struggled to sit up. I grabbed the seat, holding on as the boat continued to cruise down the lake. Breathing a sigh, I felt a nudge in my side.
"Ooo you and Jordan, eh?" Travis grinned, wiggling his eye brows at me.
"Shut up. I was scared." I rolled my eyes, still clutching onto the seat.
"Suuuure..." Travis smirked and turned away.
The boat suddenly stopped and I was flung into the seat in front of me. "OW!" I yelped, rubbing my head. "WHAT THE HELL, AUTUMN!?"
"We're here!" Autumn grinned and skipped to the back of the boat, David taking the wheel.
Autumn grabbed the rope that connected the tube to the boat and tied it in a secure knot. She glanced at me, then at Jordan. I gulped as she said her next few words.
"Tubing time!"
**Jordan's POV**
I grinned and glanced at Kate, who was freaking out. "Alright then, Kate. Let's go!" I grabbed her hand and led her to the back of the boat.
She was shivering by the time we'd gotten to the tube. I smiled. "Oh, come on. You aren't gonna die. You have your life jacket on!" I pointed to her life jacket.
Rolling her eyes, she sighed and looked up at me. "You get on first."
I nodded and climbed on the tube, holding onto my two handles. I signaled for Kate to climb on and she mimicked my action, holding the handles for dear life. I pat her back as the boat engine started to rumble and Travis pushed the tube into the water. Kate shut her eyes tightly as the boat started to move forward.
"Hold on tight..." I whispered in her ear. Her grip on the handles tightened and we started to fly almost as the boat sped off.
I yelled in excitement as we flung everywhere, holding on to the handles as best as we could. Kate lost grip on her left handle as we hit a few waves. I grabbed her hand and set it back on her handle, only to earn the feeling of water slapping in my face. I laughed as we started to lean to the left - my side. The boat turned right and the tube flew to the left. I held on as best as possible as the dreaded turn came to it's highest point. Gripping on the handles, my legs dangled off the side of the tube. After Autumn went in circles - most likely on purpose, just to annoy me - my legs were nearly right by my face. I suddenly got the feeling of water slapping on my back as I tumbled off the tube. I swear I was walking on the water as I flung off the tube. My life jacket caused me to float up and the boat slowed, turning around to come back and get me.
"What the hell, Autumn!? You were doing freaking circles!" I yelled while laughing.
"Oh, just get on the boat!" Autumn laughed, sending down the ladder.
I climbed up to see that Kate was already on the boat. I glanced to the back of the boat to see that Travis was by himself on the tube. I sat beside Kate and laughed, turning in my seat to face Travis, who was dancing on the tube.
"Well, you beat me. And that's saying something, knowing it's your first try." I grinned at Kate as the engine began to rumble.
Kate turned in her seat as Travis stopped dancing and laid on his belly. "I did a lot of gymnastics as a child." She laughed.
"I see." I said as Travis clung onto the tube.
I laughed as Travis flung 2 feet in the air. Somehow the kid was still on the tube. He bounced again, his brown, long hair flying in all different directions. I nearly fell off of the boat from howling with laughter as Travis hit even more waves. Finally, after 3 more rounds of horrid waves, Travis flipped over the tube and into the water. Everyone howled with laughter as Autumn turned the boat around and started to drive to Travis.
I suddenly heard thunder over head. Looking up, I saw some clouds surround the lake. "Fuck, it's gonna rain." ((Excuse my language)) I sighed. "Travis, I think you should get out of the water, there's light-" A burst of lightning flashed close to the water. "-ning!"
Travis swam to the boat and I reeled in the tube with some help from David. "Okay, Autumn. Let's head back. We can always do tubing tomorrow." David told his girlfriend, standing beside her.
Autumn nodded and everyone sat down. I sat beside Kate once more and gave her a nudge. She glanced at me and shot me a smile; one in which I gladly returned.
"I hate storms." She muttered.
"You aren't the only one." I sighed as thunder crackled over head.
"It's good weather for a movie!" Autumn called back to us. "Kate and I could go to the store when we get home!"
Kate nodded. "Better then being cooped up inside." She muttered.
"I SAY WE WATCH PARANORMAL ACTIVITY!" Travis yowled.
"Alright. Paranormal Activity it is." I laughed at the kid's enthusiastic tone.
We arrived at the docks and quickly unloaded the boat as it started raining. We all ran back to the cabin, not really caring if we got any more wet. We all gathered into the house and got changed. Autumn grabbed her car keys and called for Kate. Kate ran out of the loft, same with Travis. I noticed Travis first, though. He was carrying all of his clothes down the stairs. He glanced at me and walked up to me.
"Hey, I don't really like the loft anymore. It's creepy." Travis shivered. "You can have the other bed."
"Um, alright?" I tilted my head, not used to Travis's serious side.
"Come on, Kate, let's go!" Autumn called to her friend. Kate followed Autumn out the door as it shut behind them.
**Kate's POV**
((ohhhh.h...hahahahhahaa the evil part :) Good luck on reading this))
I gazed out the window of Autumn's blue van, watching the rain patter on the window. At the moment Paradise by Coldplay was blasting on the radio, but I wasn't in the mood to sing. The rain had really drained out my joy, like every other time it rained. I suddenly got a call from Jason. Turning down the radio I answered the call.
"Sup, Kate?" Jason greeted.
I sighed. "Hey."
"Why do you sound so sad?"
"It's raining. I hate rain." I muttered, still glancing out the window. "It ruined our tubing. Autumn and I are going to the store to get movies."
"Oh. It's raining here too. Um, I just wanted to call to see how you were. Did you get to tube before the rain?"
"Yeah. It was...scary." I laughed at the last part.
Jason laughed too. "Yeah. It always is the first time. You'll get used to it, though."
Autumn had stopped at a red light and was hearing in on our conversation. The light turned green again and Autumn slowly moved along the slippery road. It all went downhill from there. In the corner of my eye, I could see some headlights. Time moved slowly as the light edged closer to my side of the car. Holy fuck someone isn't stopping! was all my mind could register before I let out a scream. There was a sudden impact to my right side and I screamed in pain as glass flew into my face.
Then it was dark. It was silent. I felt no pain. In fact, I don't recall feeling anything. I just floated in the darkness, my body unable to move. Suddenly, sirens filled my hearing. Pain shot through my side and I tried screaming. Nothing came out. The pain grew and I could hear yelling. Sirens, yelling, the screeching of tires, and thunder all came into my hearing range. But I was still floating there in the still darkness, unable to scream at the pain in my body. It seemed to hurt all over. My chest, legs, side, head...and I couldn't do a thing about it.
The noise suddenly froze; same with the pain. A light beamed above me and I seemed to be pulled towards it. I was suddenly in a white room, and my eyes were forced closed. I drifted off into darkness, feeling nothing.
BEEP.
Kate stood before her mother, tears in her eyes. Her mom sat in the chair beside a hospital room. But this wasn't any room. It was the room her father was peacefully slumbering in. Well, not peacefully. More like...what's the word? Kate couldn't remember.
"Where's Daddy?" Kate asked her mom in the most pitiful tone.
"D-Daddy is resting, sweety..." Her mother tried to stay as calm as possible.
"Why is he dying?" Kate suddenly asked.
The mother looked at her 7-year-old daughter in shock. "H-he..."
"Mrs. Montrey?" A doctor called from the hospital room. "Um.." He walked up to the mother and daughter, face flushed. "I-I'm not the best at delivering bad news, b-but..."
"Did he make it?" Mrs. Montrey asked.
"I'm sorry, ma'am..but, no." He sighed. Only then did he notice Kate, tears streaming down the girl's face. He got down on his knees to face the child. "You're his daughter...aren't you..."
Kate nodded weakly.
"I'm so sorry..." And the doctor faded away.
BEEP.
Kate stood before a two-story school. Middle school. She was in the 6th grade at only 9 years old, having skipped two grades. She walked into the school, suddenly feeling small and unwanted in the big school. She glanced around at the kids, all glancing at her with odd expressions. She held her books closer to her chest, starting to speed-walk down the hall. She took a corner into the science lab that held her first period class. Suddenly, she bumped into somebody.
She fell onto the ground with a soft thud and glanced up in shock. There was a boy. He had long, brown hair and deep blue eyes that Kate found herself getting lost in. He wore a goofy grin that showed off his braces. He was wearing a blue shirt that printed out LEGO on the front and dark blue jeans. Way too much blue. He extended a hand to help her up. She took it with a small blush and the boy pulled her up.
"S-sorry." She stuttered, not making eye contact with the stranger.
"Eh, it's kay! I'm Travis, what's your name?" He extended a hand with a friendly smile.
"Katherine, but call me that, and you die. So just call me Kate." She said, shaking the boy's hand.
"Uh-oh, we've gotta murderer!" He screamed like a little kid, trying to make it funny.
Kate certainly found it worth laughing over, because she howled in laughter at the joke. Travis grinned.
"You are seriously the first person who has ever laughed at one of my jokes." He said.
"Seriously? You're really funny, though." Kate admitted.
"FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS MY HUMOR! WE MUST BE FRIENDS NOW! Come on! You can sit by me in this class!" With that, Travis took his new friend's hand and lead her to an empty seat beside his.
They listened to the teacher drown them with knowledge and boredom until the bell rang. Travis got out of his seat.
"Hey, I'll catch you later, okay, Kat? Is it alright if I call you Kat?" Travis asked.
Kate smiled. "Yes."
"Okay, bye bye, Kat!" With that, Travis faded away.
BEEP.
Kate stood before a girl, 5-6 inches taller than her. The girl smiled warmly. "Sup!" She grinned.
"Hi..." Kate said as the girl stepped towards Travis, hugging him.
"Hey, Kate! This is my girl friend, Autumn!" Travis greeted the two, grinning his goofy grin.
Kate could feel jealousy boil up inside of her. At her age, which was now 14, she was starting to feel more for Travis. But this Autumn girl was ruining her chances of ever confessing to Travis about her own thoughts of him. She slipped on a fake smile. "Hey, Autumn. Nice to meet you." She shook the girl's hand.
"Nice to meet you too! Oh, and by the way, I really like your outfit! I love minecraft!" Autumn said.
"You..you do?" Kate asked, gaping at the fact that some girl wearing make up could ever like such a tom-boy game. Maybe she isn't so bad... Kate thought.
"Duh! I play it a lot." She grinned.
"Woah. That's awesome!" Kate returned the smile.
"Yeah." Autumn grinned. "Well, I'm gonna go and study for the space quiz that's tomorrow. Oh, yeah! Kate! Travis says that you're an expert at science!" Kate perked up at those words. "Maybe we could hang out some time and get some science stuff done!"
Autumn started to fade as Kate answered, "sure". Then she faded for good.
BEEP.
Kate stood before her biggest fear...Emily. Emily was the 'bully' of the high school. She had started tormenting Kate only a week ago on her 15th birthday and wouldn't stop. She'd call her ugly, fat, stupid, worthless, and she'd even hit her when teachers weren't looking. It was a living hell for Kate until Travis and Autumn come in to save the day. But today they were both out studying. They had invited Kate but she refused and said she had to catch up on some minecraft videos from a new youtuber called CaptainSparklez.
Autumn and Travis had teased her and said that she was in love with a YouTuber then they had to go, leaving Kate to walk home alone. Kate had soon accidentally bumped into Emily, earning a punch in the stomach from the girl.
"Bitch! You're worthless!" Emily growled.
Kate felt some rage build up in her throat. As Emily shot out more insults, Kate started to get more and more furious with her bully. She suddenly let out a side of her that no one had ever seen show.
"Well at least I'm not some fucking asshole who goes around and bullies other kids just make themselves feel accomplished!" She yelled in rage. Before Emily could respond, Kate kept talking, unable to stop her ranting. "Have you EVER seen those bullying videos!? Oh, wait, no. I'm sorry. That's shit, even believing that you pay attention in class. Well let me SUM IT UP FOR YOU! A kid gets bullied. That kid goes home that night and CUTS HER WRISTS. After more bullying, she goes and KILLS HERSELF! THAT COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE AND IT WOULD BE YOUR FAULT BECAUSE YOU ARE THE REASON PEOPLE CUT!" Kate screamed at the girl.
Emily stayed in her place, just grinning. She wasn't fazed by the rant at all. She started to laugh. "Look, the little kid is starting to speak up. That wasn't even a good speech."
"Oh, and I'd like to see you do better. I'm two years younger and I still have a smarter mind than yo-" Kate was cut off by a fist to her stomach, then a fist to her face, and finally a kick in the legs, knocking her down. She hit the cold ground and glanced up at Emily, who was glaring at her.
"Bitch." Was all Emily said before she faded away.
BEEP.
Kate stood before the mirror of her bathroom. She was still 15. She was still getting bullied. The bathroom door had been locked an hour ago as she debated on whether or not she wanted to do this. She took a glance at the razors, breathing heavily. Of course she wanted to. But..she didn't know if she could. She had already stopped eating; and cutting herself could lead to suicide. She didn't want to die. She was too afraid. Sighing, Kate thought Just once and grabbed the razor. She slid it on her arm as some red ooze fell out. Holding back a cry of agony, she threw the razor across the room, gasping.
She vowed to never do it again. Suddenly, the unthinkable happened. There was a knock at her front door. Her mom wasn't home..so why would she have a visitor? She pulled on a black hoodie and opened her bathroom door, running to the front door. She opened it to see Travis. He smiled at her.
"Hello!" He greeted, running up to hug her in a friendly manner.
"Hey.." Kate sighed.
"Woah, what's with the long face?" Travis asked.
"I-I..." Kate debated on whether to tell Travis about her sin. She ended up falling to the ground, sobbing.
Travis got on his knees just as that doctor had when she was 7. Kate started to shake violently as something red dripped onto the floor. It was coming from her arm. Travis looked at the red liquid with shock and lifted her sleeve, seeing the cut. He gasped.
"K-Kate..." Travis managed to get out. "W-why..." Travis started fading.
BEEP.
Kate stood before her two friends. She was 18 now, and ready move. "I'm sorry, guys...I...I'm moving."
"What!?" Travis and Autumn gasped.
"NOOOOO MY LIFE IS RUINED!" Travis got on his knees. He hugged my legs. "I WON'T LET YOU GO!"
I chuckled sadly. "I'm sorry, Travis. BUt I have to go before my mom kills me with rules."
The scene suddenly faded, much quicker than the others.
BEEP.
Kate stood before her door, leaning against it. "Who is it?"
"It's, uh, your neighbor," A guy's voice came through the door.
"How can I be so sure you are my neighbor and not some psycho-killer or what not?" Kate asked him, a grin tugging at her lips.
"Oh, come on." The guy rolled his eyes. "I heard you screaming this morning, by the way. What, were you dying or something?"
"Nope." Kate answered simply.
"Then what were you doing?" The guy asked.
"Why would you like to know?"
"Because if you scream again, I'll know it's not you dying." The guy sighed, smirking.
Kate rolled her eyes. "OK, I was playing and recording minecraft with my friends. As if you'd even know the game, though."
The guy scoffed. "Are you kidding? Minecraft is my expertise!" Suddenly, he gasped. "Uh, can I please come in?"
"What!? Why?" Kate turned around to face the door.
The man's voice dropped to a whisper. "I have some fans staring at me."
"What, are you famous or something?" Kate laughed in disbelief.
"You could put it that way, now PLEASE let me in!" He started banging on the door.
"Fine Mr. Famous Dude." Kate opened the door and the guy fell in. He quickly shut the door with his foot and let out a sigh.
The stranger stood up and dusted himself off. He was wearing a beanie, jeans, and a black t-shirt. His hair was short and black - from what Kate could see under his beanie - and it looked like he was growing a beard, but it also looked as though it was just shaved. Kate tilted her head.
"So, Mr. Famous, what's your name?" Kate asked.
"You don't know me?" The guy grinned. "Why, you doing minecraft videos and all, I would think you would have recognized me."
Kate squinted and slowly smiled, nodding. He grinned, thinking she actually knew who he was. Kate's smile grew wider and she said, "Ahh..." she frowned, "Nope."
The guy glared at her. "Just call me Jordan."
Jordan and the scene suddenly faded.
BEEP.
Kate stood before the car, stepping in. Her and Autumn got to a stop light when her friend, Jason, started to call. They talked, yet there was no sound in this scene. Only silence. The car started to inch forward as the light turned red. Kate didn't see the 18 wheeler until it was too late. Sound started to pick up. Kate screamed and Jason's voice was barely audible.
"Kate? Kate!? Are you-" The signal was cut after a loud CRSHH sound emerged from Jason's phone. Jason's eyes grew wide as he helplessly yelled into the phone. "KATE! KATE CAN YOU HEAR ME!?"
Adam came running to his friend, Dawn by his side. ((I know they broke up, but I didn't want them to so they are still together in this story!)) Adam tried to calm his panicked friend, which seemed useless. Jason wouldn't stop screaming. He started to shake as Dawn and Adam calmed him down for the most part.
"Jason? What happened?" Adam asked.
"K-Ka-Kate." Jason mustered out.
The scene faded.
BEEP.
"IS THIS SOME SORT OF JOKE!?" I cried into the darkness.
BEEP.
"DO YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY TO SHOW ME MEMORIES OF MY PAST!?"
BEEP.
"AND WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THAT BEEPING!?"
BEEP.
I glanced around the room in anger. I was still floating. All I could hear were muffled voices and the excessive beeping noise. My rage built up as I screamed into the darkness. "WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!"
BEEP.
I was suddenly on the ground sobbing. "What...happened..."
BEEP.
BEEP.
BEEP.
BEEP.
