Rude Awakening

At Alex's guest house, we all met up to "discuss" my incident at the school.

"Wait, so she basically turned into Elsa?" Chase said, jokingly, yet very confused at the situation. "I don't know what you guys are even talking about, I don't remember me fainting or making a trail of ice across the girls' bathroom?If that really happened, I would've remembered it." I bluffed, I remember everything, except the time I was unconscious, but everything else, I have a clear memory of.

I just NEED to figure this all out first, and I can't have them getting in the way or getting hurt. By now, everyone was just staring at me as if I killed someone. "Guys, I'm just a regular human being who so happened to have fainted in a restroom, no big deal" I said shrugging my shoulders.

"But it is a 'Big Deal', it may explain those visions or flashbacks you keep having" Alex said remembering, that was supposed to be kept secret. "DUDE!?!! That was supposed to be a secret you dumb nerd!, ugh" I yelled putting my hands up to my face stressfully. "Sorry it- it just slipped out, I" Alex started to say, "Clearly it slipped out" I said cutting him off.

There was a loud,soft knock at the door. And by surprise it was my dad...just great, what have I done to be visited by my murderous father, this fine evening?

"Mr. Kimberly! How are you? Come in" Karolina said after opening the door smiling, letting him in. "Thank you Karolina, and I'm doing just fine" He said as he searched the room for me, with his eyes. I looked over at my dad fearfully, he hated me coming over here to the Wilder's place. Who knows what he is going to do to me when I get home.

"Are you ready to go pumpkin?" He asked politely, with a decent smile. "Yea dad- uhm, I mean sir, yes sir" I said stuttering, shit I messed up. My father nodded and headed back to his car to wait for me, "B-bye guys, see you soon" I stuttered as I cautiously walked towards the door. I looked back at all of there faces, when I closed the door and tear dripped down my face as I walked away, knowing what may come next as I get into the car.

"Sir? When has she ever called him sir?" Alex said looking back outside, watching me go inside my dads' car. "Did you guys see a tear drop from her face when she closed the door?" Karolina said nervously. "Or the fear I'm her eyes when her dad came?" Nico added. "Something bad is going to happen to her, isn't it? By her dad." Molly replied worriedly. "Since when did she have a stuttering problem?" Gert added.

As I got in the car, my dad just glared at me from the rear view mirror and my mom was looking out the window, her body looked tense, as if she was scared herself. I was just waiting for mg dad to do something, like he always does to me when I do something "idiotic" as he calls it.

"Yo Wilder, so what was those flashbacks or visions you were talking about that she had?" Chase asked, "Oh it's uh- it's nothing really" Alex said pulling his ear, nervously. "Really? You're gonna pussy out now Wilder? You might as well tell us, because we are already in some deep shit." Chase added on. "Again, I resent you from using that word for weakness!" Gert yelled at Chase, irritably "Jeez! I'm sorry" He apologized.

As my father stopped the car in our driveway, I immediately opened the car door and got out. I held my bleeding face and tried to hold back the tears. I swung open the door to our house and quickly ran upstairs to my room, closing and locking the door.I turned on the lights and then, every tear that I attempted hold back, came rushing in and overflowed my wounded face with tears, like a waterfall. My computer on my desk lit up buzzing, someone is trying to FaceTime me, but who? As I walked over to my computer,it-it was Alex. What a relief I thought to myself, I sat down in my chair and accepted the call.

"Rachel-er Rae, I mean- are uhm..you okay?" Alex asked, looking at me all worried and sympathetic. The sound of Alex saying my actual name instead of my nickname was kind of weird, I never heard him say that in a long time. "Yea, I'm fine" I said with an unsteadiness in my voice, looking back at him. "Why are you holding your face? Did your dad do something to you? Are you hurt?" Alex interrogated, not even letting me get a word in, I can see Alex getting up from his desk holding his computer, he had left his room.

"No, no, everything is fine, it really is, just don't make such a big deal of it" I quickly said as I heard a loud series of pounding at my door, "Oh shit," I whispered,"I have to go" I semi-closed my computer, leaving it cracked open. As I immediately unlocked and opened the door, my dad swung across my face with his hands, making me fall to the floor, before I can process of what was happening, he grabbed me by my neck, leaving a small space for me to breathe. "If you think that I will tolerate you going to that WiWilder kid place, then you're in for a very rude awakening, understand!" My father has never shouted at me like this before in his life, why is he doing this now? Does the Wilder's have something against my dad? Or someone else in PRIDE? He had let go of my neck and stomped out of my room, I can hear my mother yelling at my father, but all I was focusing on was my breathing. I'm an asthmatic and my father just decides to man handle me like that?! I need to get out this house sooner and not later.

I closed the door with my foot, as I was struggling a bit to get back on my feet. I was horrendously coughing, I touched my face and it was bleeding even more, I can't live with my father's shit any longer. And just my luck Alex was still there, listening to everything.

"Rae!? Rae are you there" Alex shouted from my computer. I crawled over to my desk and made my way up on my chair, I opened my computer back up and looked at him with tears trailing from my eyes. "I can't do this anymore" I said sobbiAlex"I know, I am coming to get you. We all are having a sleepover at Gert's and Molly's place, so pack up whatever you need" Alex said driving off from his house and onto the road, coming to get me.

I ended the call and quickly got a bag, I filled it with clothes and washroom stuff and headed out of my room towards downstairs where I found my mom, thank god I thought.

"Mom, I'm going to go spend the night at Gert's and Molly's house, that's alright with you right?" I asked my mom nervously. She just stared at my bruised up face and covered her mouth, almost about to cry. "Yes! Go, stay there as long as you like" My mom said quickly giving me a hug. She put her hands on my face, as a tear rolled off from her eyelash. "Stay safe" she whispered to me.
