Chapter 9
LUCY
Pain. My body is in pain. I'm on the floor. Why am I on the floor? I'm naked on the floor. Why am I naked? My pain forgotten, I look around Dominic’s room to see if there is a blanket or something in this god awful room. There’s the bed. I crawl over to it. I go on to my knees and pull off the blankets. Dominic and all 5 of his friends are under the blanket that I got off of the bed. They are giving me a creepy smile. I poke Dominic in the face, (what possessed me to do that I have no idea). He grabs my arm and pulls me onto the bed. They all start grabbing at me and pulling off their clothes. They all pile on top of me.
"GET OFF ME! GET OFF ME!" I can’t breathe. "GET OFF ME!"
********************
"GET OFF ME" I open my eyes. I feel the tears running down my face. My body is all tangled in my blankets. Oh my gosh what is happening to me. I reach for Star, my dad’s cat that now sleeps with me. I hug her, squeezing her into my chest. After five minutes I am calm enough to lie back down against my pillow. I have been having this dream every night for three weeks now. Actually I have been dreaming it ever since that one night at Dominic’s. I think I drank too much because I can never remember exactly what we did.
The past few weeks have been very uneventful, quite boring actually. At school Seth thinks he is my best friend but he’s really not. I haven’t spoken with Charlie since that night that he deserted me. The way he did that just proves that everything that I thought was going to happen happened. That stupid Karen has taken my brother, my comforter, and my best friend. I am never going to get him back. There is no one that can ever take Charlie’s place. No one is going to get close to me like he was which again just proves that I am going to die alone. Star jumps down and scratches at my door. Just as I am getting up I hear a loud noise down stairs. Oh well for going back to sleep.
I get up and pick up star. I also grab Charlie’s baseball bat that is in the corner of my room that I stole out of his room when he moved before heading down the stairs. It’s probably only Martha but you never know these days. I hear it again. I jump down the last few steps and round the corner. It’s really dark and I really can’t see anything but I do see something moving near the pantry. I try to walk as slowly and quietly as I can. I raise the bat and close my eyes.
