That was it. The snake I was trying very hard to control, striked.

And its sole target was standing in front of me talking shit about my personal life like I was his slave.

I grabbed him by his collar, pushed him away from me and that's when I unleashed that snake.

My hand shot up and that one slap I gave him earlier will now feel like just a pat on his cheek to him because now, at that exact moment I slapped him back to back 3 times.

Yes. Three.

And those slaps were so hard that on the last slap his head slammed with a glass hanging decoration that was hanging just beside his head. But it didn't do much damage because there was only a little scratch of blood on his forehead. Or at least it looked little to me.

Everything and everyone froze for a moment or a decade, I don't know. I just knew that the feeling I was having in my heart was of pure hatred towards the man who was standing in front of me clutching his cheek.

His jaw was clenched and he looked like a burning volcano at that moment. His whole face was red in anger and when his face turned my eyes met his, which were red, more red than his face.

But he didn't scare me. At that moment I was too much angry to contemplate the situation. No one, nothing mattered.

Fuck him and fuck his party. I won't let anyone to raise a finger on my self respect.

"Next time," I said while seething in anger, "before even thinking about saying a word about me or my parents," I got face to face with him and hissed, "remember these handprints on your cheek."

I turned and walked out of that damn party. My head held high. Everyone was staring at me and Eric with a shocked expression on their face.

Bloody gossiping bitches.

I was on the door of the house ready to step out of that hell but before I could do that, I was grabbed by my elbow, pulled harshly and then I was face to face with an angry dinosaur AKA Eric.

"You've just declared war, bitch." He said loudly, "This is the starting of hell for you and mark my words I'll be more cruel with you than Satan."

Saying that he pushed me out of his house and went back inside. My heart was thudding in my chest loudly but the anger was also there.

I walked away from there and reached to my car, got inside and pulled away from there.

I started driving angrily. Everything that had happened at the party was playing in my head like a video recording.

Without knowing tears of anger and frustration spilled out from eyes. I wiped them from my cheeks and eyes harshly but new tears took their place.

Not able to look at the road because of my tears I stopped the car on the side of the road. And then dam of tears broke.

After a few minutes when I was feeling a little alright my phone started ringing. I looked at the screen which was showing an unknown telephone number.

"Hello?"

"Is this Miss Misty Marvel?" The person on the other end of the phone asked.

"Yes this is Misty. Who are you?"

"We are sorry to inform you Misty but your parents had an accident just now. They are admitted in the City Hospital. Please come here as soon as you can." And then there was a sound of phone going dead.

I was in shock. Too shocked to even understand what the hell was that lady on the phone was saying. My parents? Accident? But they were out just to have a nice evening.

Fuck!
