Am I Dreaming?, chapter 1
Cali sat up on her bed. She had a terrible headache and couldn't remember how she got here. She got up and walked to the mirror she had placed on her wall in her room. There on her face she saw she had a black eye and several various cuts and scrapes. After seeing her face, Cali remembered she had been knocked out by her boyfriend, Kyle. This would not be the first time.
What had happend was...
2 Hours earlier
"Damn it, Cali! Why are you taking a week off?!?" Kyle had yelled at her.
"Baby, it wasn't me! The other girls at the daycare thought I had been working too hard." Cali tried to be calm.
"Oh really? How do you expect to pay the rent, huh? I thought the deal was I moved in with you if you, me, and Ashley all payed the rent?!?"
"LEAVE ASHLEY OUT OF THIS!" Cali screamed, this really pissing her off.
That was when Kyle started to push her around.
"Get away from me, damn it!" she had yelled defiantly.
This set off Klye for the last time today. He threw a punch at Cali's eye. It knocked her out instanly.
End of flashback
Tears streaming down her face as the incident played back over and over in her mind, she took a knife out of her computer desk drawer. She slowly pushed down on her wrist with the knife leaving a new, fresh cut. She couldn't help but think that this was all her fault. "I have to find some way to make the pain go away." she thought. Suicide flashed through her mind for a moment. She thought of how great it would be to just leave it all. As much as a rebel that she was, she didn't want to do this to Ashley, her only best friend, nor her mom. She realized how disapointed her mom would be if she did that. Cutting was the only reasonably safe she could think of to make the pain stop on the inside and change to the outside.
The only thing Cali wanted to do now was play on her guitar. She picked up her songbook and guitar. She switched on the amp and started to play....
*two short hours of nothing but guitar*(Kyle is at work)
"Hey, baby. I'm home!" Kyle said as if he had a good day at work. He walked into Cali's room (which had now become both of their rooms since Kyle had moved in).
"Oh, hey."Cali answered as she set down her guitar and closed her songbook.
"Writing songs again, I see. Can't I look?"Kyle said as Cali snatched it out of his hands.
"Yeah, when its all finished." she said and tried to work up a half smile.
Kyle smiled back and pulled her into his arms. He began to kiss her, but she pulled back.
"What's your problem?" he seemed to start working his temper up again. Worried she was about to start another she would start a fight, she said, "So, how was your day, baby?"
