The sound of waves, quiet at first,
then louder and my head pulsates with the blinding white light as the waves crash harder and harder into the rocks. the foam spray leaves mist around my knees and it freezes me to the core.
I wake screaming with a mouthful of water.Just a bath i tell myself as i watch the water pour into the tub. I lean my head back against the wall and feel it wash away all the sickness from me.
I get dressed and call my friend, he's only a block down the street and i head out at door at half past three on what seems a normal enough evening.
The darkest hill has always scared me, i'd avoid it but i'm expected so i continue the walk in the darkness watching for the next streetlight at the bottom of the bend.
Someone jumps out at me, a face i recognize, a fist closes around my temple and my vision swims in and out of focus.Awakened with a sick crack as my back nails a tree. Heavy breathing and raw sweat smells fill my lungs as i choke past the blood and bile rising in my mouth 'don't hurt me' familiar laugh and he grabs tight onto my wrist and squeezes pulls away his hand to see it darkened from ripping open a newer cut, backhands me into another swirl 'you got blood on my hand bitch' a tone so unlike the one i'm used to. my arms tied to the tree, when did this happen but then i realize what's going on. I move and another fist lashes out at me i feel myself go limp barely uttering the words 'no..please..'
A zip and my stomach churns a hit to the stomach and i lost all i had to eat my wrists aching at the rope's grip my shirt torn and jeans missing I retch again only to receive the hardest of all the punches and the last thing i see is darkness, and a ripping pain from below.
When i come to,he is gone. my arms free but the rope remains im laying in the leaves and my best friend is calling my name.i want to yell for him but when i raise my head my vision swims my arm breaks a twig and i hear quick footfalls towards me.
I awaken fully dressed in his bed,his worried eyes scare me at first 'zack..what happened' he turns his eyes away and he begins to cry quietly "i should have come to meet you sooner" he says and i look into the mirror to see myself bleeding and battered my arms wrapped in new bandages "your wrists were rope burnt and i couldn't find your shirt" i look down to see one of his favourites placed lightly against me ad thats when i remembered the smells and the noises zack picks me up and brings me to the bathroom where i retch ntil there is nothing left inside of me. 'did he?' zack nods gravely and i dry heave again...
But zack and i never said anything.
When i finally came forward, they said i didn't have enough evidence to convict him. And because i was not the only one, and because the other victims and i were all friends they assumed conspiracy, even though the guy was already in for doing it to someone else in another town.
I missed the bus home one week, my friend did not. She got off and he was standing there he pinned her against the side holding a butterfly, he said he was looking for me.
He went back to prison for this stunt, and i thought for awhile i was free.
I went to my favourite hang out, like every friday just last summer. i looked over by the door and he was there waiting for me. "what'sup homie?" he said to me.
I froze on spot and just stared at him. Then turned and left and never went back.I left town ran away to somewhere i thought he'd never find me. Until today. He's coming for me.

I'm scared he will find me when everyone is working or at school and i'm here alone. If he doesn't come he still knows where i am and i'm ready to leave. So i might skip state.
But that's only..only if he doesn't kill me first, he said he was going to..he said so many things.
