After class Jamie was determined to talk to the mysterious handsome boy she had stared at for the past hour and a half. As she stepped out of the classroom she got ready to make her move she went through the crowd of juniors and was trailing close behind. But before she could tap him on the shoulder she was suddenly spun around. As she looked up to see who it was the person spoke to her

            “In my car. Now.”

            It was Kevin! The sound of his voice sent chills down her spine she silently complied with his request while her heartbeat became stronger and stronger. They finally reached his car and Kevin opened the door for her and held her by the neck and shoved her in his car. The force of his hand had shocked her so much it took her a moment to recover. She slowly got herself to sit upright and heavily placed her head on the car seat.

            Kevin got in the car and drove off. “What the hell do you think you are? Some kind of slut?! No what am I saying? Of course you are!”

            Jamie stayed silent.

            “Well?! Say something you stupid bitch!” Kevin said hotly.

            It took a while for Jamie to t. the tension was mounting, then finally she spoke up and whispered menacingly, “I’m not your bitch.”

            “What?” he said anger. Then his anger turned into amusement. “Bitch you’re nothin’ without me. If you weren’t with me no one would give a shit about you!”

            He slapped her. It was times like thee she wondered how she got into this mess. Life had been so simplistic before she met him. Sometimes she thought maybe she really was just another whore in this world.  It really hurt her. She felt used and vandalized.

            “You bastard! Don’t think you will ever get your filthy hands on me again!” he said heatedly.

            She was surprised Kevin hadn’t done more than slap and shove her. Most of the time when she did something that as hateful in Kevin’s eyes her would down right beat the crap out of her. It was so bad she had to skip days at school. The steroids seemed to be the only thing that controlled him. She thought about informing the authorities but that would be stupid. It would only do more harm than good. Kevin finally parked somewhere and pulled Jamie out of the car by her hair. It hurt so much that she was on the verge of tears. Kevin was thinking. She’s definitely going t o get it. She was going pay.

            He walked her up a hill which seemed to belong to a local park in town. He led her to an unoccupied spot that was surrounded by trees. Then he shoved her and asked, “So, what do you have to say for yourself?”

            “I don’t have anything to say, but I do have on question. Why are you doing this?”

            “You know very well why the hell I’m doing this!” Kevin said utterly furious.

            Jamie was pushing her luck. “What the hell are you talking about?”

            To show that she was walking on thin ice Kevin slapped even harder than the first time.

            “How could you be so stupid?! I left practice early and saw you gawking at this other guy!” yelled Kevin.

            Jamie fell silent and knew and what she had done and she knew she would soon pay the price.

            “And to make maters worse,” Kevin aid, “You fuckin’ tried to approach him!”

            Jamie started to cry softly. There didn’t seem to be anyway out of her situation. He started to hit her, this time with more hatred in his blows. He couldn’t stop it. She felt that the pain wouldn’t end. She occasionally tried to divert his blows but it would only come back to bite her in the ass. Just when she thought that she couldn’t handle any more, the pain stopped. She opened her eyes and saw t Kevin was gone. She tried sitting up but cried in pain and collapsed on the ground again. Jamie continued to lay there for about two hours. All she did was cry and stare up at the sky. At one point she fell asleep. When she awoke it was raining. The weather always seemed change with her mood. She let the rain pour down on her. She didn’t care what happened to her anymore. Jamie finally decided to walk home. Her mother was never home because she was always busy adding more to their already enormous bank account. Jamie laughed softly as she thought I’m rich, popular and have a boyfriend to die for HA! M y life so be perfect. What an absurd joke. She finally reached her house and automatically went straight for her mother’s liquor cabinet. She drank all the time since she had met Kevin. She drank to numb the pain. Sometimes she wondered why she didn’t just kill herself. Then she would remember: she wasn’t that crazy…yet. She took a full bottle to her room and drank all its contents with couple of swigs. She then disposed of the bottle so her mother wouldn’t find it she then laid there on her floor pathetically and then everything went black.
