Truths And Notes (Six)

Having been brought home two days ago revealed a part of Ms. Loyn I hadn't seen. I knew she was motherly towards me but never had I expected her to be so protective. She had refused for me to leave the house and she would protest when I stepped out of bed. Not even an attempt to go visit the girls, even though I knew they were avoiding me. I had found out that they were querying about me from Ms. Loyn, I didn't blame them though I deserved it for not being honest about who I was.

My alarm vibrated notifying me that it was 12:24 am. I had been pushing my body to stretch and train since I came back from the hospital. Pulling out my training box containing my different types of knives and three small pistols, I set my dark board and went back a fair distance as I aimed and threw my knives.

Each hitting a bull's eyes with each memory fired. After two hours of training, I slid onto the floor trying to catch my breath. The medication from the hospital had lowered my tolerance and made me tired quicker. I heard a click and felt cold metal on the side of my head.

Holding my breath, I thought of all the places I had hidden my weapons and how fast I would be to get him. Why was I suddenly a target? I hadn't done anything to anyone since I ran away. I felt the person's warm breath against my neck and the other hand sneaking onto my waist. It turned me around roughly and I bumped my head against its chin. Looking up I noticed light blue eyes staring at me.

"Rose" he whispered with a rich raspy voice.

"Who are you?" I whispered.

"I'm Justine." He said whilst pulling away to sit on my bed, but the gun still pointed at me.

"What do you want in my room?" I said whilst pulling my knife from my table stand. He laughed.

"Now listen put the knife down ok. I want to talk unlike someone else who blackmailed you..." he said as he walked towards me. I threw the knife and it hit his hand, making him drop his gun.

"You piece of shit!" He snapped.

I snapped. I just snapped. That phrase, everyone needed to stop using it around me. it brought back too many memories. Too many that were unkind.

Piece of shit.

"Piece of shit!" I snarled. "My dad used to call me when he lost his sense. Piece of shit when he beat me over and over again. Only stopping when I turned blue or purple or even when I bled. Then one day..." I said as threw another knife to his thigh. He fell to his knees and cursed under his breath. "He tried to rape me. Me! And I snapped. I stabbed him 34 fucking times! The 34th stab straight through his chest. Hahaha!" I laughed, feeling myself lose grip of reality. Of normality.

I am going crazy or maybe I've always been crazy. Everything is crazy. I heard the door being shut and turned to see the girls staring at me, mouths wide open. Why were they in my room at 3:30 in the morning? Why were things going so out of control? Why was I losing control?

"Why are you here?" I asked as I could feel the darkness wrap around my head.

"We snuck in to see you. We needed to." Lexi murmured.

Kelly was the first to walk towards me. "Lu-cy..." she stuttered.

"Stay. Back." I commanded.

She stopped.

"How much did you hear?" I asked as I looked at them exhausted yet they still kept quiet.

"Talk!" I snapped.

"Everything." Abi murmured.

"What you heard is true. Now everybody out. Now!" I screamed.

I heard them scramble out as I turned to find Justine gone but he had left a note on my bed.

'I never understood why you were chosen to join us. But you are more badass than any girl I've met. I'll be seeing you real soon.'

I was more doomed than I realized.
