My enemy. My everything.
003
Mikey was so angry with himself. He hated everything about Kitzie Powell. He hated every little thing about her, but he had never hit a woman in his life before this. Shoving her was bad enough, but this time he was really violent. He had punched her, he had backhanded her. The thought that crossed his mind the most though was Why didn’t she tell anyone? Then he wondered if it was because she didn’t have anyone to tell. If she told one of the staff at the school then she would still have to go home to the house she lived alone in. She didn’t have parents or brothers at home to defend her if Mikey went there for revenge.
The thought made Mikey feel powerful. It meant he could keep doing whatever he wanted and nothing would happen to him. Mikey felt safe. Noone cared about Kitzie except her friends and they were bimbos who only really cared about boys and backstabbed each other.

For the next week Kitzie avoided Mikey whenever she could. He saw her standing down the hallway waiting awkwardly for him to finish getting his books and leave before she went to her own locker. It bought a smile to Mikey’s face. Her avoidance of him continued for a while. He barely saw her. She even picked a new place for her and her friends to sit so Mikey and his friends wouldn’t see them when they walked past.
She had applied more makeup in the mornings to cover the bruise his backhand had left on her face and she lied to anyone who noticed it.
Mikey began to watch her. He was intrigued by her now that he knew she was avoiding him. He wondered if she did it because she was simply sick of fighting and arguing with him or if it was because he had gone too far when he hurt her.

On Thursdays Kitzie and Mikey both had to be around each other for their late class. It was 8 o’clock at night when the class was finally dismissed and it was dark outside.
In the school carpark Mikey noticed her struggling to get her car to start. He got in his car anyway and was about to leave but changed his mind. He had no idea why, but he turned off his ignition and got out of the car. As Mikey approached he heard her mutter expletives under her breath.
“You can’t seem to make anything work can you? Your locker, your car.”
She turned and looked at him in shock. “What do you want?”
“I want to watch you struggle with your car and then watch you give up and walk home.” He laughed.
She sighed and looked down. “Leave me alone Mikey that’s all I ask.”
He looked at her for a minute thinking of what to do next. He watched her open the hood of her car, curse, then close the hood. Kitzie got back into the passengers seat and leaned against the steering wheel with her head resting on her arms in frustration. Mikey looked around them. It was really dark and there weren’t any street lights. He only now noticed that this street looked pretty creepy when it was dark and quiet. No place for an attractive young female to be walking around alone at night. Mikey took three steps closer to Kitzie then leaned over her car seat to take her bag from the passengers side and walked back over to his car.
“Hey!” She quickly jumped out of the car to chase him, thinking he was stealing her stuff. “Mikey give me my bag back.
Mikey said nothing. He just put her bag in his car and locked the door so she couldn’t get to it. He began walking back over to her car while she tried to open his car door. Mikey took the keys from her ignition and locked her car up and walked back to where she was waiting.
“Mikey what the fuck are you doing? You can’t take my stuff. I can’t drive without my keys. And I can’t get in my house! Come on your going too far. Give me my stuff.” She grabbed at him roughly trying to get her keys back panicking that he would just take them and leave her there. Mikey turned and grabbed her wrist suddenly, making her yelp in fear. He looked at her for a few seconds and then let go.
“You have a flat battery Kitzie. You’re not getting home in that car tonight.” He motioned to his own car. “Get in.”
She looked at him like he was crazy for a minute. “Fuck no.”
“It wasn’t a question. Get in the fucking car.”
“I’m not getting in your car Mikey. I don’t want to be anywhere near you. I fucking hate you.” She spat.
“Right.” Mikey’s face flashed a look of rage. He’d had enough and grabbed Kitzie by the arms, dragging her to the car.
“What the fuck Mikey let go of me!” She shouted. She bit his hand and he let go of her with a yell and grabbed her hair causing her to cry out.
“Let go of me Mikey. You can’t make me get in your fucking car!”
“Like hell I can’t.” He said as he opened the passengers side door, thrusting her into his vehicle. He ran around to the drivers side and got in, grabbing her arm once again as she tried to get out. “Kitz I swear to god I will beat you so fucking hard if you try to get out of this car again. Now fucking sit still before I smack you.”
Kitzie began breathing heavily and looked straight ahead out the windscreen when he released her arm. She was officially terrified of Mikey Way. He had somehow gone from a scrawny adolescent who she could hold her own against while they were growing up, to being a slim but physically built, confident man who she now had no defense against. She was no match for him anymore and they both knew it. And it frightened her to think he might keep hitting her whenever she bothered him slightly.
The car ride home was mostly silent. Kitzie tried to hide the fact that she was afraid of Mikey. She knew that if he knew she was afraid that nothing would stop him from hurting her anytime he felt like. He would become the bully and she would have to hide from him constantly.
“You’re a real dick you know Mikey?” She said after a few minutes of silence.
“You’re a bitchy little slut you know Kitzie?” He said calmly, like he was casually talking about the weather.
“I’m not a bitch and I’m certainly not a slut.”
“Right. Sure.”
They continued to argue all the way to their street. Finally, Mikey pulled into his driveway and turned the car off. Kitzie just sat there not moving. Mikey turned and looked at her, sensing she was holding back because he hadn’t barked some order at her yet. “You can go now Kitz. But I expect to see you here at 7:30 in the morning so I can drive you to school.”
She shook her head at him in pure disbelief. “You’ve got to be kidding me. Since when do you rule my fucking life you psycho!” She shouted.
He gave her a light tap across the face which made her go quiet and then he grabbed her jaw. “You just don’t know when to be quiet do you?” She said nothing, just glared at him. “You will be standing next to my car at 7:30 tomorrow morning or I WILL hurt you. Do you understand me?”
She nodded, trying to hide her eyes that were filling up with tears. The last thing she wanted was for Mikey to see her moment of weakness.
“Okay. You can go now.” He handed her things to her and they both got out of the car. He watched as she walked across the road and unlocked the front door to get inside.

Okay guys the next chapter is going to be pretty dark. I haven't written it yet. I know what I want to happen, but lets see if any of you can guess.Please comment and tell me what you think?
Why do I always get caught up in the books updated years ago? I'm intrigued and it hasn't been updated since 2015...
