Face Down, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.
Two teenagers were walking along the sidewalk after school. They seemed like the typical highschool couple, holding hands, laughing together as if they didn't have a care in the world. His red letterman jacket draped over her shoulders to keep her warm in the October climate. The boy was taller than her and had brown hair parted in the middle so it fell onto his forehead. He had on a blue t-shirt over a grey long sleeved shirt. The girl beside him was wearing a green t-shirt under his jacket and simple faided blue jeans with her brown curls pulled into a ponytail
"Alright Kate."Jack stopped walking at the end of the driveway and turned to her with a smile, taking ahold of her other hand. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow then." He leaned in and kissed her lips softly before letting go of her hands with another smile. Kate smiled back and tucked her brown hair to short for her ponytail behind her ear before turning. "I'll call you."she told him with a chuckle, heading down the sidewalk and towards her house. Jack stayed where he was, watching her walking away. His smile quickly vanished when he saw her front door open and a man step out and cross his arms angrily.
Hey girl you know you drive me crazy,
one walk puts the rythem in my hand.
Still i'll never understand why you hang around,
I see what's going down.
Jack frowned at Kate's father and turned, walking down the sidewalk once more. Kate stopped and looked back at him longingly, wishing that she could go with him, anything other then going into the house.
"HURRY UP DAMN IT!"Wayne all but screamed at her when she stopped to watch her boyfriend leave. She winced and turned, quickly walking back up to the proch. He grabbed her arm roughly and jerked her inside, slamming the door. "What the hell did I tell you about him?"Wayne snapped at her. "You stupid little skank."He frowned and shoved her towards the stairs before changing his mind and turning, pushing her towards the kitchen. "Make me a sandwich damn it."He ordered.
Kate could smell the beer on his breath and decided it best not to argue. She walked to the kitchen and grabbed the bread. Only seconds later Wayne reappeared and the back of his hand flew into her cheek. "Never mind."He growled and pulled her out into the livingroom. He turned and shoved her towards the stairs. "Go do your homework, idiot." He said.
Kate sighed and walked upstairs quickly, locking herself in her room to do her homework like he told her to.She puther backpack down and looked into her mirror to see the bruise already forming on her face. Tears began to fill up in her eyes as she touched it. Another one, another bruise that she had to hide from Jack so he didn't find out.
Cover up wth makeup in the mirror,
Tell yourself it's never gunna happen again.
You cry alone and he swears he loves you.
Kate reached over and grabbed some powder and a kleenex. She dried her eyes, then set to work in hiding her new bruise. It was already hurting, God knew how bad it would be for school the next moring. She sniffled and picked up her backpack, sitting down on her bed.
An hour went by, then two and her homework was almost finished when she could hear the sound of heavy foot steps coming up the stairs. Before she knew what he was doing there were a few loud bangs on her door.
"OPEN THIS GOD DAMN DOOR YOU LITTLE WHORE!"He screamed at her through the wood. With no other choice, a shaking Kate got up from her bed and unlocked the deadbolt on her door. It burst open a second later and a very drunk Wayne practically fell inside, pushing Kate back against the wall with a hiss. "You little slut."He slurred at her. "You think i don't know what you do with that punk you're dating? Huh?!"
Kate tried pushing his hands away from her shoulders, only to get a sharp slap across her cheek. "Dad please."She begged him, tears forming in her eyes. "Stop that hurts!"
Wayne turned and threw her to the grownd with a frown before picking up Jack's lettrman jacket from her bed and ripping one of the sleeves off.
"No stop that's Jacks!"Kate begged, getting up from the floor to her knees. "Please don't! Stop ripping it!"
Do you feel like a man,
when you push her around?
Do you feel better now,
as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend,
one day this worlds going to end.
As your lies crumble down,
a new life, she has found.
Wayne lookd down at her with a frown and dropped the sleeve to the floor infront of her. "You don't deserve this jacket."He told her and dropped the rest of it with a thud. He turned to her bed again and picked up her homework,looking it over. "And you're so f***ing stupid!"He cursed at her, shredding what she had done so far.
Kate watched in shock, more tears forming in her eyes as he simply destroyed two hours worth of work that she would have to redo.
"Get up."He ordered and grabbed her ponytail, hauling her to her feet. He turned and pushing her up against her mirror. "Look at yourself."He hissed in her ear, the smell of booze making her sick."You see what you are? You're a nothing. You're a stupid little slut and you're going to end up in the gutter the second you turn eighteen." He threw her backwards to the ground then turned and pointed at her. "Don't you ever forget it."With that he left her room, closing the door with a slam.
A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect.
Every action in the world will bear a consiquence.
If you wait around forever you will surley drown.
I see what's going down.
Crying, Kate picked herself back up and looked down at her ruined homework and Jack's wothless jacket. The tears only increased as she picked his jacket up and layed it down on her bed before reaching for the phone. she shakingly punched in his number and sat down on the floor.
Jack pulled his cellphone from his pocket and looked down at the caller ID before smiling and opening it. "Hey babe."He greeted her, sitting down on his bed and closing his math book. He could only hear sobbing on he othe end and his smile instantly dropped. "Katie what happened?"He asked, leaning forward slowly, pressing the phone to his ear.
Kate closed her eyes and shook her head, coughing on a sob that she tried to speak passed. "I'm sorry."she said, looking up at his jacket, only crying harder "He...I'll pay for your jacket."she told him despretly. "I'm sorry."
Jack frowned and stood up, jamming his shoes back on. "Kate I'm coming over."He told her. 'Stay on the phone with me baby ok?"He walked downstairs and outside. "Tell be what happened Katie." he said.
Kate choked up another sob, clamping her eyes shut. "He...he came in.'she managd to get up. "And he... he ripped your jacket up."She shook her head. "I'll p-pay for it Jack I s-sw-swear."
"Sh..."Jack shushed her, walking towards the sidewalk at a fast walk. "Are you ok?" When she didn't answer his frown grew. "Kate did he hurt you at all? Tell me."
"He..."Kate said, not wanting to tell him. "H- he hit me..."she finally admitted. Jack didn't know about what she had to put up with since she was five, at least she didn't think that he knew. She never told him abou the abuse in her house, but deep down, she had a feeling that he knew.
Jack's eyes narrowed angrily. "I'll kill him."He said lowly.
"No!"Kate replied. "No...mama loves him.....Don't.....Don't even come over Jack....Thing's are ok, I just ...I overexaduated...."She slowly got to her feet, glancing at herself in the mirror then away quickly.
"I'm coming over."Jack cut her off with a frown. "He's not getting away with this Kate, I'll make sure of that."
I see the way you go and
say you're right again
say you're right again
Heed my lecture!
"GET OFF THE F***ING PHONE!!"Wayne yelled from downstairs.
Jack narrowed his eyes, hearing the yelling that came after that. He hung his phone up and broke into a run towards Kate's house.
The second the line went dead Kate turned her phone off and walked towards the door she opened it and peeked out. She took a deep heavy breath and opened it wider, walking out and down the hall. She quickened her pace, going downstairs then broke into a run when wayne spotted her. She bolted fo the door, dashing outside just s jack started down her drive way. She stopped ten feet fro the house and Jack closed the distance between them.
"Ae you ok?"Jack asked worriedly, cuppig her face in his hands. The door behind her opened and Wayne stormed out.
"Get off my property!."He ordered, pointing at Jack. The eighteen year old frowned and moved around Kate dispite her best efforts to stop him. "You!" Wayne yelled at Kate behind him. "Get your a** into the house!"He stormed over, pushing Jack out of the way then throwing Kate back to the proch, sending her stumbling to the ground.
Do you feel like a man,
when you push her around?
Do you feel better now,
as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend,
one day this worlds going to end.
As your lies crumble down,
a new life, she has found.
"Hey!"Jack yelled angrily, pushing the older man violently. "DON'T TOUCH HER!"
Wayne turned and glared at him, pushig him back before pushing him back. When jack efused to back down, he threw a punch, landing it in his stomach. Jack bent over double, the wind knocked out of him.
"STOP IT!"Kat screamed in horror when she saw what had happened. "Don't hurt him! Don't touch him! Don't do anything to him!"
Wayne turned her her with a rown, starting towards her menisingly.
"Don't touch me!"Kate added, holding her hands out defencivly. "Don't touch her!"Jack added, leaping at the mans back and sending him sprawling to the ground. The teenager stood above him, panting slightly. "Don't. Ever. Touch. Her. Again." He said slowly.
One day she will tell you
that she has had enough
It's coming round again.

Kate walked around her father to Jacks side. His arm quickly wrapped around her waist and he turned, leading her away from both him and the house. "It's going to be ok."He whispered in her ear, kissing the side of her head gently.
Without any warning, He was pulled away from her and thrown to the ground, where he waas sent tumbling a few times.
"Jack!"Kate screamed, trying to get to him. Wayne however, grabbed her pony tail and pulled her back up against him. "Say bye bye to him, b****."He hissed in her ear. She saw the barrel of a gun from the corner of her eye and gasped."RUN JACK!"She screamed as a shot rang out. Jack suddenly stop trying to get to his feet again. Her eyes misted over and she pushed away from her father, running to his body. "Jack Jack!!"She pleaded, getting to the ground besie him and turning him over. "Please. Oh GOD wake up Jack!!"

"I'll call you."she told him with a chuckle, heading down the sidewalk and towards her house. Jack stayed where he was, watching her walking away. His smile quickly vanished when he saw her front door open and a man step out and cross his arms angrily.
Kate stopped halfway down the driveway and shook her head to rid the images from her mind. She looked up at Wayne as he glared at her. She turned and looked at Jack again as he started walking again. She quickly dropped her backpack and ran to him despretly. Jack glanced back once more then stopped and turned when he saw her running to him. He spread his arms and enwrapped her in them tightly.
"What's wrong?"He asked, looking down at her. "Ka- Katie hey....Shhh don't cry."He kissed the top of her head a few times and closed his eyes, rocking her. "I've got you."He whispered.
"Can I come home with you Jack?"She asked between sobs, clinging to him tightly."Please?"
Jack kissed her again and nodded. "Of course baby."He replied. "Come on."He turned, keeping his arms around her as he walked down the sidewalk again.
Face down in the dirt
