Chapter 10: The Kiss Part 4

16 June, 2011, Thursday

Dear Diary,

I kept having nightmares. Yesterday, I dreamt of an angel stopping many bad guys who wanted to hurt me. He was wearing green, and he had these two large guns on his back. Weird right? And he shot them down, because they wanted to shoot me. One of them had a… Giant gun, a big, black man in a suit. Like a bouncer. It wasn’t a nightmare, but it was loud and scary too, even when I was saved.

It was even worse today!

…

“You hate him, yes?” It was dark a girl spoke to me in the dark she sounded a lot like me. I was in purple tights, cape and boots again and I had guns in my hand I spun around and shoot behind me but there was nothing I hit nothing.

“No…” Who do I hate? What are we talking about? I couldn’t control myself but I agree with myself I don’t hate anyone not even the bullies it’s bad to hate.

“Yes, you do.” The girl who sounded like me spoke again I was afraid so very afraid I turned back front and fired again the guns I had on me were loud! Who is she? Who do I hate? A door opened and shut in front of me when I was fixing my guns they stopped firing I feel naked and scared.

I shot the door and kicked it open there was light underneath the door she must be inside but I didn’t want to fire the gun or kick things I wanted to run oh so much to just run away from this. There were even more guns inside and some of them were very huge it was scary but I don’t see anyone inside even when the door was opened and closed my guns were still up I can’t control it. I did the same thing to another door but the same room appears I’m so confused and I’m so scared. “What the fuck?” I used the f-word I didn’t even know it existed until now why did I use the f-word it is bad and wrong.

“Dave’s no different from the bad guys…” The voice said again from behind me so I turned around and saw no one but fired anyway maybe she’s behind the door I got scared what does Dave have anything to do with this I love him so, so much Dave is not a bad guy.

“Where are you!” I shouted and I sounded angry but I feel sad at the accusation Dave is not a bad man he’s my brother he took care of me made sure the bullies didn’t take my lunch money I looked everywhere even outside the window and shot at another door but there was nothing nothing at all I’m scared.

“Here.” The girl said again she was sitting behind a table, her legs were on the table how rude I thought I checked there before. I could barely turn when she shot me in the chest it was loud and it hurts IT HURTS so much the pain, but why didn’t die I thought I should die.

I wasn’t supposed to get hit daddy I’m so sorry I failed you you taught me so much and I wasn’t using everything I learnt. Mommy and daddy died for nothing I fell against the door I was shooting at I was leaning against it I can’t move anymore can’t get up the girl’s coming for me.

She was white all over and had red, red eyes she was scary looking. She wears black and silver, her boots were high ‘go away’ I wanted to say but my mouth wouldn’t move. “Didn’t expect me there, did you?” She said as she sashayed towards me like a runway model oh God why didn’t the vest protect me? I have a vest?

I reached for my gun again but the white girl stepped on my hand and pushed it away I think she broke my fingers it hurts so much Dave where are you I need you please it hurts. “No so fast, Hit-Girl…”

“Look’s like it’s my turn again…” She said after she crouched down to look at me close in the eye her eyes were red, oh so red and they were very scary I don’t want to look but I kept looking, and looking.

She grabbed the sides of my head and put her lips against mine kissing me young girls aren’t supposed to kiss each other that way NO not even Dave and Dad why no NO please I can’t stop her too weak it was disgusting she was even sucking the blood from my mouth stop please stop stop stop stop STOP!

“Stop! STOP!” I shrieked myself awake. I could feel snot coming down my face again, out of my nostrils but I knew it wasn’t snot. There were already tears down my cheek even before I started crying.

My door flew open and Dave was almost flying in. He was even holding this big, huge flashlight. Mag-lite – I remembered using that word. He looked like he was about to beat me with it, so I cried even more. He switched on the light and I panicked. I didn’t want him to see the blood. I covered my nose and mouth, but I was too slow.

“Mandy!” He shouted after me, and before I knew it, he was sitting on my bed. I didn’t know he could be this fast. Next, he had his hands on my wrists, but I didn’t want him to see the blood, “Let me see, Mandy.” I kept shaking my head. I didn’t want him to see but he kept pulling at me. I couldn’t keep up, “Mandy, let go.” He ordered me sternly. He was frightening me, and I knew he had already seen the blood, so I let go. Dad was also awake, standing by the door. They both saw it.

Later…

“What’s your nightmare about, Mandy?” Dave asked. It wasn’t even morning yet. I saw the clock in my bedroom when Dave was cleaning me up, and it said ‘0613’. We were already having breakfast when it was dark blue outside. I heard Dave’s question, but I was afraid to answer. My cheeks felt red and hot. All I remember was… “Mandy, please, I’m worried about you, you know.” Dave knew how to get me to open up. I can’t help but to keep looking at my bowl of cereal – it was a lot less harder to look at than their eyes.

“I remembered… Kissing.” I gave in in the end. How could I not? Dave wasn’t around as often anymore, but when he was, he did care. He was here with me right now. My cheeks turned redder, I could feel it.

“Who, Mandy? Was it a boy you saw at school?” Daddy asked. Dave said he would worry about things like that all the time, “Was it Pete?”

“No!” I squeaked immediately. Disgusting! He was only a friend – now I knew what Dave meant, “I don’t remember.” I lied. Again. Am I a bad girl? I didn’t want them to know that I dreamt about a scary girl my age kissing me. “I can’t remember anything else.” I was a liar. I remembered what the girls chanted when they didn’t believe I lost my memory. Liar liar pants on fire! Liar liar pants on fire! But I remembered – I was fighting. I was in pain and I had guns. I couldn’t help but shiver at the thought. I don’t know if Dave noticed me shivering. But he was looking at me.
