Horrible Us by L.Vampire (free ebook novel .TXT) 📖

Tap. Tap. Tap. Game over.
I put my iPhone down on my computer desk and sighed.
Ding!
It was the doorbell. I sighed again and picked up my iPhone and started to play Ninja Wars again.
Ding!
I was not going to answer it. I continued to tap away. Game over.
"I need to talk to you." I jumped nearly falling out of my chair. Danny smiled up at me and stepped closer. He was holding a flat black box in his right hand. I turned back around and stared at my black computer screen. "How the heck did you get in here?" I asked leaning into my rolly chair. "Went through the window." He answered. Before I knew it I felt something being slid on to my neck. It was cold and made my skin tingle. Then it fell into place. I looked down gasping at the sight of a necklace with a rose made of beautiful smaller redish twinkling diamonds right in the middle. "Why did you put this bajillion dollar neckalace on to my neck?" I asked, very confuzzled. "It's for you." Danny said sweetly. "But why?" I asked still shocked. "Because I'm sorry for every little thing I ever did to you. I didn't mean to and I didn't mean it. You deserve this." "Um. Thank you." Danny bent down and kissed my cheek softly. My skin tingled even more. "I seriously owe you big time." I said smiling. "No. No you don't. Like I said, you definitley deserve this after what I have done to hurt you."

"Hahahaha." Danny and I laughed. (We almost died. Almost.) My eyes were glued to the T.V. watching America's Funniest Home Videos. Now there was a baby on that kept slipping on the wet tile in her kitchen. She kept on trying and trying but everytime she was about to stand up, she just came tumbling down.
"D, do you want more popcorn?" Danny asked. "Yes, please." Danny walked into the pantry and grabbed a packet of buttery popcorn. He then placed it into the microwave and set the time for it. Up next was going to be a dog falling into the pool. That really didn't get me interested to keep on watching the show. I grabbed the remote from the brown coffee table and changed it to channel 200. They were giving music videos.
Beep,Beep,Beep.
The popcorn was finished. Before I knew it, Danny was sitting next to me with a big blue bowl of hot popcorn. "Hey, can you please change it back?" Danny asked. "Why? We have been watching this for over an hour." I explained hoping that he wouldn't explode. "Because I want to watch it. Why else?" "No. If you want to watch something then go watch it, some place else." I said looking him straight in the eye. "That's it. Give me the remote." He demanded. I shook my head no. "Daniella. Give it." I shook my head no again. Danny tried to snatch it from my hand, but luckily he missed. Then Danny's hands balled up into fists. One of his hands was aiming directly for my face. In a millisecond he could have punched my face. Before he even laid a finger on me, I threw my head back just missing Danny's punch at about one centimeter away from me. Danny leaned over and tried to take the remote from my hand but before he could I used my other hand to push him off the sofa. He landed with a thud on the carpet. I jumped off the couch and sprinted to the oppisite side of the living room. I closed my eyes and leaned against the wall trying to regain my breath. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. Then I felt a warm hand close around my throat. I couldn't breathe. No air. Nothing. I was going to die. I mean I was already out of breath before he tried to suffocate me. I tried to grab his hand and pull it away from my throat. He was too strong. I could barely move even one of his fingers. I could feel my heart beat slipping away. I need a breath. More than anything. I couldn't feel my face anymore. The "breathtaking" hand loosen its grasp. I could take slow breaths. Then the hand loosened completely. I fell quickly to the floor my knees giving up on me. I laid there against the lower wall and let the air flow through my lungs. The blood in my face spreaded. I kept gasping for air and I finally began getting enough. I opened my eyes and found the front door wide open. Danny had left. He had left me.
After I had regained all of my breath my head was full of questions. Most of them were, 'What should I do now?'. I felt a tear find it's way down my face. I just didn't know an answer to any of them. I mean I couldn't hit him or anything. Too scared. The same familiar statement went through my mind. I wish my parents were here. To help me. To support me. To love me.

Why did they have to die? This was the time when I needed them most. I knew always that I was alone in this world. No friends. No family. I mean I had family still here in this world, somewhere, but no way to contact them. Another tear came sliding down my cheek. I wiped it off my face. Then I felt my hand go toward the diamond rose necklace that Danny had given me. I winced when I thought of him. I ripped the necklace off my neck causing it to break apart. I went out through the door into my front yard. I clutched the necklace tight in my hand. I then tossed it into the air and watched it fly towards the trees. I turned around and went right back in my house. I didn't care anymore that the jewlery was beautiful. I didn't even care that it was highly expensive. I didn't care who found it. Then remembered the rose. The beautiful red rose that was very close to dieing now. I took it from the vase and ruffly pulled the petals off one by one. I threw them all into the garbage. Then I ran to my room and threw myself on the bed.

I spent many days in bed just thinking about many things. Stuck in my mental world of horrible events and thoughts. All I thought about was Danny and what he had done to me. And how he changed so much since I met him a while ago. And how he had hurt me. Physically. Emotionally. He always used to be so sweet to me. (Please notice how I said used to.) He never had such a bad temper like now. Not until just like a month ago. He used to understand me. (again notice how I said used to) I could of told him anything weird about me and he would so much as just blink. He was the only person. Now I have no one left. Nobody. I have lost my family. My friends. Everybody I ever knew. I have even lost my old self. The way I had used to be.
I might as well have died when Danny choked me. I should of let myself stay on that floor forever, and I should have stopped breathing on purpose. I could have died so easily. Not painfully. I would have prefered that more than what I am going through right now. I would of been so much easier. So much easier.
Right now I needed to be loved and loved only. Loved by someone who actually cared about me. One who I can tell anything without him freaking out and thinking that I am such a wierdo. I don't want money. Or new clothes. Or new expensive shoes or jewlery. I want love.
I needed to break up with Danny. I could trust him no more. I would not be with him any longer. Not after what he did to me. He could of killed me. I could have been dead. And he probably wouldn't even care. He would of left me there dead and forget about me. I needed to do something about about this.

I kept on walking. I cannot stop
