Chapter 20
I was in the car with Kathy driving back to the pack house. She turned on the radio. 'Bad for me’ by this girl group Megan and Liz came on. Kathy sang along. Expecting an angelic voice instead 1 got You make me feel so right
Even if it's so wrong
I wanna scream out loud
Boy but I just bite my tongue
Her voice sounded like a croaking frog. Kathy, you're the most beautiful woman I've met but your voice is awful. I was tempted to turn off the radio so she would stop singing but that would be rude "Baby I love you but please don't sing anymore" I said
She pouted. I had the sudden urge to kiss her pink lips
"But I thought I sing like Beyoncé"
I started coughing. She laughed
Her laughter was music to my ears. Its good to see her happy again.
She stayed in the hospital for a while day before the doctor confirmed she was strong enough to go home.
She recommended we keep a close eye on her because she might attempt suicide again Depression isn't something that's cured in a day. It's going to take a long time but I will stand by her through it all.
I scheduled weekly counselling for her. That should help a little, right?
"Kitty you sound like a drowning whale. You can't sing to save your life"
She giggled
Soon I saw the pack house coming into view. I drove to the car park, when I was done, I stopped the engine.
"I let the pack know you're okay, they're expecting you" I told her
"Okay she softly said
All traces of former happiness vanished from her face. I know what her problem is. She's nervous. I held her hand reassuringly.
"It's okay babe I already banished them. I'll make sure nobody hurts you ever again”
Her eyes lit up
"Really?"
"Really"
"Thank you"
"Come on let's go" I said
She nodded
Kathy's POV
Immediately I opened the door to the house everyone shouted
'SURPRISE'
I saw balloons and decorations hung everywhere. There was a banner up on the wall
WELCOME LUNA K
Derek, Cheryl and Peter came walked happily towards us. Cheryl hugged me first
"Good to have you hack" she said squeezing me
"Good to be back"
I hugged the boys one by one
"I'm guessing the banner was designed by Peter" I said
"Yes!" he screamed
People came one by one to greet me.
Exhausted, I collapsed into one of the chairs. I watched as the party went on. I saw Liam talking to a few Girls before I zoned out. I sighed remembering that day.
*FLASHBACK*
I thought about it, no one wants me here. Life would be so much better if I didn't exist
I absentmindedly walked deeper into the forest. As I got deep, I saw a cliff. I walked towards it. A woman holding a bucket filled with clothes passed me
"Good day Luna" she bowed "how are you'?'
Luna? Pfft. I'm not even worthy to be called that.
“Fine thank you ma'am, and you?"
“Fine *
She smiled and left. I got to the cliff looking down at it.
I picked a rock and threw it down to see how high and deep it was. It took a long time before it entered the sea. Guess it was pretty high.
This is it. Without thinking twice, I jumped off the cliff letting myself go.
No more bullies. No more problems. I smiled when I entered the water the last thing, I heard was someone screaming my name before everything went blank
*end of flashback*
I was brought out of my day dream when Frankie and Mason walked up to me. Mason jumped up and hugged me gripping my neck tightly
"Mason — can't- breathe” I complained
"Sissy I missed you" he said kissing all over my face. I laughed. He came down and ran to Liam Frankie held up a fruit basket.
"Hi Frankie" I said to her
She smiled
"Good afternoon Luna, my mom said I should give this to you"
I took the basket from her dropping it on the floor
"Why thank you"
She was wearing a cute long-sleeved top. Yeah, the top is pretty and all but the weather is hot "How are you?" I asked
"Fine"
"Aren't you hot?"
"Um no"
I rolled up her sleeve a little. It saw a fresh red cut
"Who did this to you!?"
She started crying. I got up and carried her into the nearest guest room. I locked the door and sat her on the bed
"Who did this to you?"
"Please don't tell anyone
"l won't"
I was about to take off her jeans to check whether she had any cuts on her legs too but she started crying
"No please I've been a good girl" she cried
Oh no. Tears filled my eyes as the realization dawned on me
Frankie was being sexually abused.
"What? Wait I'm coming” I told her "Don't move. Do you hear me?"
"Yes Luna" she nodded
I left the room to look for help
Frankie's POV
I was sitting on the bed waiting for Luna to come back. Suddenly the door opened, I smiled thinking it was the Luna but instead it was my step-dad. He came closer to me
"I've been looking for you" he said
He pushed me and pinned me to the bed. I started crying again
"Please don't" I cried
He slapped me
"Shut up!"
He pulled down my jeans. I cried cause I knew what was coming next
Kathy's POV
"Hurry up" I told Liam as I dragged him down the hallway towards the guest room where I kept Frankie.
I opened the door to the room. I almost passed out at the sight I saw. A man on top of Frankie doing the.....
Liam rushed over to him and pulled him back with so much force that I heard his shoulder bone snapped
"What the fuck man? She's just seven” Liam yelled
I rushed to Frankie. She was breathing heavily. Blood was everywhere on the bed
"Are you okay?" I asked
How stupid of me to ask that question. She's in pain and bleeding in all the wrong places.
Of course, she's not okay
"Luna, I think I'm going to die" she sighed
"No baby, you won't"
I cradled her in my arms
"Help! Please help!" I cried
"I want to go to heaven"
"No don't say that"
She started coughing
"Please tell my mate I love him" she said smiling
What? Mate?
Before I knew it, she closed her eyes smiling. That's when my world shattered. I turned to look at Liam. They were still fighting
"Liam" I said in between tears. Liam dragged the guy outside. I dropped her on the bed and followed behind.
Boys were already crowded outside. Liam's eyes were dark, I guess Ben had taken over
"She's dead now because of you" Liam growled
The man laughed loudly
"Oh, you're laughing now, you'll join her up there”
Liam put the man's head in his hands and twisted it till it was detached from his neck. Everyone gasped. Mothers covered the eyes of their children. Boys turned their heads and sobbed.
My mouth opened in shock. Never have I seen Liam be so ruthless and mean
Liam held the head in his hands with a disgusted look on his face
"Worthless" he said "make a fire now!"
They wasted no time. Boys brought out firewood and lit it up. Liam waited for it to heat before throwing the head into the fire
