the carpal tunnel of love [chapter fourteen]

Chapter Fourteen
A Midsummer's Day Dream

(memory of Alexis)

They were at it. Again. My dad, the alcoholic raged at my mother for the stupidest things. "You didn't do the goddamn dishes? You are a worthless piece of s**t!" yelled my dad at my mother. All I could do was sit in horror in the middle of my room and cry. I crept to the bathroom and looked in under the sink. It was there. Sweet relief. I grabbed it and ran back to my room and locked the door. Pressing the cold blade against my pale white skin felt like bliss. The blood poured out of my skin and I sighed in relief. That was when the door was kicked in and my dad stood there, like a drunken bastard. "What the f**K are you doing, you stupid b***h?" he said to me as I bled onto the carpet.

Chris merely laughed, an evil laugh at that and forced his lips on mine. I cried for help but it was no one but us in the house. He tore off my shirt and began to undo his belt buckle as he pinned me to the floor. I cried and wished I had just stayed home like my mom told me to, but I had to see him. Chris began to do an unspeakable act when his brother, John walked in. "What the f**K is going on, Chris?" he said looking at me then looking at Chris with a look of deep anger. "Nothing, man, go the hell away!" Chris yelled at him. John wasn't a very muscular boy like Chris but he threw his best punch at Chris and knocked him out cold. "Thank you," I whispered, getting up shakily. "Oh God, you are so welcome," he replied, taking my hand, "Here, let's get you in some new clothes and home."
