Chapter 2 - The nightmare and past

I looked up at his face, which was filled with anger. Andrew seemed to believe Ruby, a girl he met only 6 months ago, over his childhood friend. Sounds insane doesn't it?

He yelled at me, "Go away before I decide to make you paralyzed." He threathened me, for the first time ever since our time together. "Let me exp-" before I could say it, Andrew grabbed me by my arm, made me stand up then practically threw me out of the room before closing it. Like what? First that bitch stole MY best friend and crush, then cut my art commissions, which I worked hard for, into pieces as if they were nothing and now she was trying to lie about me hitting her while I didn't even touch her?

That bitch.. She can go rot in fucking hell.

In anger, I stormed to my room, locked myself in and laid on my bed. I could hear them sleeping in the other room besides my room. I felt.. Lonely. The anger that was burning inside me was replaced with loneliness. I felt alone in this world. The only person who cared for me being taken away. God must've really hate me. First my parents, then my siblings and now the only person I deeply care for.

This day was.. Crazy to say the least. Maybe that's a understatement? I wonder what'll happen tomorrow.

As I fell asleep, I got a nightmare.

The Nightmare

I was deep in a forest. Surrounded by haunting figures of trees. I felt though as if someone was walking but I couldn't see anyone. The sounds of footsteps was coming from all directions. It was driving my mind insane. I quickly tried running, trying to escape this maze-like forest. But it seemed endless. As if I was in a loop of some sort. I was scared, my mind was spinning. I couldn't think straight. Suddenly, before I knew it, I saw a familar person infront of me. Adam. My perverted teacher.

(Warning : SA and violence)

Adam grabbed me by my throat and pinned me down onto a log of tree. He then tried remove my clothes while I struggled against his grip. And then he slammed my head hard on the wood, so hard I lost my consciousness. He then did things to my body while I was unconscious in the dream. Very.. Disgusting things.

----------

I woke up from the nightmare in my bed, sweaty and breathing heavily. The nightmare made me remember the similar incident that happened when I was 8 years old. I quickly shook my head so dismiss those thoughts. And I tried sleeping again but I couldn't. So I sat back on my bed and sighed. Memories of the past flashing back to me.

Flashback to the past

I grew up in a middle class family in a smart village. My mom was a farmer and my dad was a servent to a rich family. I had three siblings. Two were boys and one was a girl. We were a normal and happy family.

One day, I was coming back home after school. And saw my house was on fire. Scared, I quickly ran towards the burning house because my parents and siblings were in there but I was held back by the village people. The villagers tried using water to calm the flames but it was too late. My family and house burned to ashes.

I was transfered to an orphanage. And then to a public school. When I was 8 years old, we had a new teacher. The teacher's name was.. Adam. He seemed like a nice and kind guy. One day he asked me to stay back to discuss about somethings.

The decision to stay back was the worst thing I could've possibly made.

Adam locked the door and looked at me, "Strip." he ordered. I was confused and scared and then he said in a more commanding voice, "I said strip, you wh0re." I was too young to understand the term 'wh0re' but I knew what strip meant.

Out of fear, I stripped off my clothes. Feeling uncomfortable as the cold air hit my skin, I looked at Adam. I felt a shiver down my spine when I saw how he was looking at me. Like a predator looking at it's prey.

Adam grabbed me and threw me onto his desk. Forcefully removing my last piece of clothing. Since I was struggling so much, he got annoyed and knocked me out of consicousness.

When I woke up, I found myself in a empty office. My body was bruised and battered. I was exhausted. I saw the slight blood sliding down my thigh. I broke down in tears. Not from pain of being assaulted, but by shame. I could've prevented this if I didn't agree to stay back with him. It's all my fault. It's all because of me. Everything goes wrong because of me.

God... Please kill me. Soon.

Few years pass, in middle school, just as I was about to attempt suicide. A boy entered my life. His name was.. Andrew. He was a confident and outgoing student at my school. Every girls' crush. Beautiful black hair, dark red eyes, muscular, tall, caring and kind. I fell for him. Fell pretty hard. How could no one like him?

(end of flashback)

He was the last thing I had for a reason to live. If not for him, I wouldn't be here talking.

But.. That Ruby entered my life to make it more worse. More than it already was. I sighed and laid back on bed and soon fell asleep.

When I woke up early in the morning, I saw Andrew peeking his head out from the door. I looked at him and asked, "Eh? Do you need something?" Andrew told me he had to go to a party with.. Ruby. I forced a smile and nodded, "Alright. Have fun."

I wonder what will happen today.. Hehehehe
