Page 38 of Bad Girl's Club

We went to my apartment for the night. Not wanting to be bothered by anyone, plus we felt safer away from her dorm since she had this new stalker. There were really only three choices of who it could be. None of those were ideal, either.

At my apartment, we watched movies and went to bed early. The next night, we agreed we would have everything go back to normal. Unfortunately what was waiting for us wasn’t the ideal situation. Nothing was safe.

Star and Kale went back to their dorm. It was completely trashed. They said nothing was left that they could use. They made a payment to pay for the damages and be placed in another dorm. They didn’t want to make a police report, since the last time mentioning it almost killed both of them, they didn’t want to go to Dean Groveton, so, I made the ultimate decision to let them crash at my apartment until they could get everything under control.

“I think we need to call another Bad Girls Club meeting. Something is getting out of hand and I think this is the only way to solve this,” Star said, holding another red rose and letter.

“What does this one say?” I asked. My anxiety was already at an all-time high and I couldn’t take much more distractions.

“It says, ‘When the boy can make you swoon, I’ll have you howling at the moon. Nothing else matters to me, other than keeping you to myself. If I don’t have you, It’s not good for anyone’s health.” She read and was stuttering at the end. Someone was seriously after her. Attached to the letter was a police report from the Louisiana State Police department and it had Kale’s police record. Apparently, he had a sexual assault on his belt. However, Star didn’t seem fazed by it, so perhaps she already knew.

“There’s just something poetically disturbing about this entire message. Who do you think it is?” I asked. I knew it was Dimitri. He had been sending me the same letters for months, but I always ignored them. The last one he sent me said, “Get rid of the baby, or I will get rid of you.” I threw it away knowing that it would piss him off. Who cares, though? I wasn’t giving up my child for some maniac who thinks he can play around without the consequences. Hell no.

“It’s probably Dimitri. He’s always said he owns me and my heart. I never knew what it meant until the other day. He basically traded me. It still makes me sick to my stomach.” Star said. She was pacing the room, her eyes were blackened from the accident and lack of sleep. I could tell there was a lot on her mind because she just wasn’t herself. I missed the carefree girl who loved life. If their goal was to kill her, they succeeded. The old Star was dead and broken. This new Star was a sad sight to behold.

“It really sucks how that all happened. I’m not sure how I could live knowing all of the details. Yes, your father is amazing in bed, but to know that he willingly slept with his daughter just makes me cringe…and the fact he just raped you when he had other women willing to spread their legs—” I stopped myself. She wasn’t listening. She just stared out the window.

“What if he never stops and I lose Kale over this?” Tears were forming in her eyes. “I really love Kale.”

“What about the police report?” I asked.

“That’s something for me and him to discuss.” She shut down instantly.

“I’m sorry if I said too much. I just want answers for you. I don’t know how to get them or where to get them, but I really think if you found out who your birth father is, it might make you feel a little better.” I suggested.

“Yeah, I wish I could look up my birth father, but everyone says he’s dead.” She was full-on sobbing now. I kept saying the wrong things.

“I didn’t mean that. Maybe they lied? After all, they keep throwing hush money around like it’s the answer for everything. Who knows with this sick world.” I tried to undo the damage I caused but to no avail. She wasn’t hearing anything I had to say. I had to think fast, because I wanted Bad Girls’ Club to keep going. I wanted us to have our safe place, but we would need to make a lot of changes. I already had a new foundation for the club in my head. We needed to remove a lot of the illegal aspects. It was a bad girl’s club for the wrong reasons. There were so many ways to fix this. Our first suggestions weren’t listened to.

How do I fix this? I couldn’t keep watching Star falling apart. One minute she was fine and the next minute she was a puddle of mush and depression. I needed her to be the bubbly rainbows and happiness. How selfish of me to need her to be something for me when so many people abused who she was.

“I have an idea, Star. What if we called a bad girl’s club meeting and only invited the three you think are behind it? They will come at different times, we’ll ask them about it and see what they say. We’ll get to the bottom of it.” I suggested.

“Kale can’t find out,” she whispered. Kale fell asleep on the sofa a while ago and we were trying to keep it quiet. “But, I’m down. I think it’s a good idea. We need a backup plan in case things go sour.”

“Okay, we’ll leave a letter for Kale to open. And if we don’t come back, we’ll have an email automatically sent at 5:00 pm. I can cancel it if it works out for us.

“That takes care of that. Let’s do it. I want this nightmare to stop. I’m tired of feeling like someone is out to get me and ruin my life. I’m tired of watching over my shoulders because I’m terrified someone else is behind Dimitri and the evil three.”

“I’m going to message my girl Tara and tell her our plans. If I don’t call her at five, she can send the email. Plus, I’ll make sure she’s within listening distance of the room, so she can hear what’s going on. We need witnesses.” I added. I needed to do something to protect us from this bad idea.

“Sounds good. Kale can’t find out, yet. I want to try to beat this without his help. I know I’m capable of doing something on my own. First, I’m going to ask him to come over so we can discuss what’s going on with this police report. Then, when he’s asleep, we will put everything in motion. ”

Star was ambitious. I loved how she immediately cheered up when we mentioned taking down the evil three and stopping her harassment. I also saw how she felt guilty about the entire situation. I don’t know how she did it. I honestly have no idea how I would have dealt with the situation. It wouldn’t have been as graceful as she has been. I know that for a fact.

Kale

Star: I need to talk to you

Kale: I’m cleaning up our dorm, then I’ll be over there. Is everything okay?

Star: Not exactly.

Kale: What’s going on? Did someone hurt you again?

Star: No. I got something in the mail and it’s confusing me. We really haven’t had a chance to talk about this stuff, so I want to give you a chance, to be honest with me.

Kale: I’m on my way now.
