Chapter Four
(The man in the hoodie) Kayla's pov
He just went and sat down on a log facing the water fall “kayla I have never had a happy life" he said, I was astonished because that was not believable.......... “well you see Kayla my mom and dad argued all the time, and as a little kid that traumatises you, I was always aggressive at school, when I was 15 she passed and it broke me, I took to alcohol, I'd get in a lot of trouble just to spite my dad, it's his fault she died and what did he do he left me all alone, he threw himself into his work, whenever he was home all I'd hear is work work work nothing else, I was in so much pain for years and I took it out on anyone who came close to me, I never really felt love in my life so I don't really know how to love, I treated women carelessly, but when I'm with you I feel different, I get this feeling of I don't wanna screw this up, thats why I didn't kiss you because I don't feel that I am right for you" he said and I could tell he was dead serious, I ran out of words “its aright Kayla I know I'm not the kind of guy that you would want, but I promise that I would become that guy" he finished his speech and I gulped as he left me. Speechless, I was all alone. “What just happened" I asked myself.
I left the park and was headed home, when I got to a dark part of the alley, I noticed a strange man wearing a black hoodie following me, I gulped I increased my pace and so did he then I started to run.
I took a left and out if the panick I saw three guys in front of me, they had an evil grin on their faces, I was trapped I tried running past them when I was over powered by one of them,“ don't worry baby we'll take care of you" I tried screaming but the other guy covered my mouth “now don't do that baby we just wanna have some fun" the second one said as the third one was on top of me I was terrified thinking of how I was gonna escape this, he tried reaching for my waist but I hit his hand away “i like this one she is feisty" he said with a very irritating look on his face as he held both my hands with his muscular hands, all was lost, but suddenly he fell on me and the two other guys looked alert and the second guy also fell unconscious and the third guy said “come on man we don't want any trouble we just wanna have fun, I'm sure that's all I you want too don't worry, well cut you in," and I was surprised to see the man in the black hoodie saving me “i***t she's my daughter you nitwit" and with that he shot him too and he fell dead, I was shocked to hear his statement, as I pushed the dead guy that fell into of me off
“daughter, no no no, this must be a mistake" I stood up and said to the man who brought down his hoodie, I didn't recognize him “peanut it's me" he said I stared at him in disbelief, and anger “my dad left when I was little, he didn't care s**t about my feelings then, he just left, you know what just stay away from me okay" I said sadly as tears began to fall from my eye, I was actually wondering how I was gonna tell my mom what just happened, well I think it was just best to keep it away from her for a little while, I got the front door of my house, I opened it and thank God my mom wasn't at home, then I saw a note on the refrigerator saying “ honey I got the night shift today, be safe love mom, PS don't forget to light your sage candles, it keeps the evil spirits away". I smiled lightly irrespective of the way I was feeling. I just went to my bed and lay down giving way to tears.
The next day morning, I woke up not feeling like going to work so I called in sick, I just spent the day sitting down and sulking, Flashback: "honey you wanna get ice cream, on our way back" my mom suggested as we drove home from barley practice, “sure I giggled" as she got me some, then we pulled up to our driveway and my mom parked the car, I got down first, went into the house and found empty bottles all around the floor, I wondered what was going on, my mom came in and she saw the same mess and she looked angry.
“George" she screamed in anger as my dad came out of the kitchen with another bottle, a brown liquid was inside, my mom and dad normally have these fights regularly, “George you promised that you'll get help, you almost killed our daughter because of this remember" she said angrily “it was just a little fire it wasn't a big deal" he replied but from the tone of his voice you could tell that he was wasted “a little fire, George if I didn't come home on time both of you could've burnt to death!” she said again angrily, “you know what George I can't take this anymore, get out!"
“Molly come on it's just a little drink" my dad said “get out now!!! Before I call the police" my mom said as he was leaving “daddy!" I called out, he just turned back to look at me, and then he left". “dont go” I said underneath my breath, then my mom broke down crying bitterly. I was jolted back to reality by my mom, “ honey are you alright you have been couped up in there all day" “ I'm fine no need to worry about me" I said trying to make my voice sounds like everything was alright.
Lucas's pov
I got to work but noticed that Kayla's cubicle was empty, I went there “whers is Kayla?" I asked wondering what was wrong “she called in sick today" a blonde lady at a table close to hers said “ohh okay" I said as I was leaving she tried talking to me but I just ignored her and walked away. Later that day after the day's work I got to Kayla's house and knocked at the door, it pulled open “hi miss Silverman is Kayla home?" I asked “oh my gosh you are...the..." She was so excited that she was out of breath but I was trying to calm her down.
Kaylas's pov
“Kayla you have a visitor!" My mom yelled from the living room, I wasn't expecting anyone so I didn't wanna come down, she then came closer to the door of my room “honey Lucas is here to see you" wait what?...........
