An Inappropriate Self Destruction

“You don’t fucking love me!” a young girl screamed from the banister, down to her father. Her hair was a mess: dampened by the recent stress, it hung lifeless about her flustered, tear-stained face, hiding her watery, red eyes in a veil of shadows. Her voice quaked with sobs and her breathing was uneasy, ruptured by the impale of “truth” as to her father’s love, or lack-there-of, for her.
“I don’t what?” her father questioned boldly up to her, his body shaking mildly with distress and anger. His eyes began to shift from cold, hardened eyes of firm fatherhood to the destroyed eyes of a slandered man, beaten by a system of sequential events that had taken place within the last year.
“You don’t give a fuck about me! You don’t hold me! You don’t kiss me! You don’t try to even be involved with me in any way, shape, or form!” A tear fell from the girl’s face onto a strand of her hair. Her movements over the banister railing threw the drop of emotional essence downward upon her father’s face.
The impact of warmth broke further an already broken man, and his eyes welled up with tears. “I don’t hold you because my embrace seems to make your heart sink! I don’t kiss you because the sheer idea seems to make you ill! And when I try to be involved I’m left standing in the dust of your despise! I keep myself as distant as my heart can bear for the sake of yours! So don’t give me that bullshit! You don’t know what love is!” He began to pant. His panting turned to sobs. His sobs broke the dam that held back his tears and he was left standing in front of his thirteen year old daughter crying over the words, and actions, she had inflicted upon him. He proved himself weak.
“I know Mom loves Jamey! And I know you love Jamey! And I know that neither of y’all love me! I don’t give a shit for Mom, but I love you more than anyone else! And you don’t even fucking love me!” She ran off down the hallway to a slamming door and locking room, hiding within the cold, dark sanction that it held for her in her moments of despair and distrust.
“Annie…” Her father fell to his knees and bent over. He held his face in the open palms of his hands and kneeled there, beneath the banister that held so much pain and so much misery for their whole family, crying, his body quaking with the uneasy breaths of his breakdown, his sobs drowning in the stereo playing from Annie’s room.
Hours went by and Annie had turned down her stereo to a low roar as she sat naked in the shower, marked in lines of red all over her body, freeing the torment of her mind through her flesh on a vehicle of blood. Her head was back as one hand felt its way over her body, finding places of hurt to relieve, followed by the bloodied shaving razor she used as a key to open the passageway to mental freedom. But it wasn’t enough anymore.
She ran the shower over her body, letting the steaming hot water jet from the shower head and bite at every open point on her body, flooding her mind with delusional thoughts of freedom and sacrifice and self-approval. Her father knocked on the door.
“Annie…” he called in after opening it a crack, but no answer came – only the gentle hisses of misery streaming from her lips through the steady beat of water against the porcelain tub. He walked in to the dark bathroom, through the open door to find a sight too often seen. He sighed and gathered a towel from the cabinet before walking over to her. “Annie, you know I hate when you do this…” he turned off the water and let her stand there for a moment as he flipped the switch. Her pupils tightened at the flood of light, her deep green eyes contrasting the sun-burnt red all over her body, now masking the fresh cuts.
“You don’t care what I hate, or like. Why should I give a damn about you?” she asked in an almost hopeful tone, longing for her answer – an answer that would bring her father and her close, forever, in a single instant. But she didn’t know what that answer was, and probably wouldn’t recognize it if he ever did say it.
Low and behold, he had nothing of interest to say to her. “You know I care about you more than the world.” He wrapped the towel around her head and began to dry her off, wrapping her hair up in the towel with the unfortunate skill gained through timeless practice. He went to grab another towel. He began to dry her off gently.
“You don’t have to be careful. I do it for the pain. It helps.” She spoke quietly to him, concern in her voice – a whole different girl from a few hours before.
“Yeah, but your cuts aren’t bleeding right now. If I rough them up they will, and they’ll get all over your mother’s nice, white towels…” He spoke with sarcasm and a smile, and she smiled and looked him in the eyes as he continued to dry her off.
“Pity that. Couldn’t have Mom getting upset at us, could we. It would be so out of the ordinary!” She giggled lightly and so did he. She turned her body to him and spread her legs slightly. “Please… keep me wet there? You said you care about me more than the world… Touch me? Like I want you to? Like I’d love you to?” Her eyes were desperate for affection, and lately she knew nothing else – in a new world of confusion and turmoil, she was lost.
“Annie, you know how I feel about that. I’ve told you before, and I’ll tell you now, ‘No’. It’s not right. No matter what you’ve seen, or heard. That’s not the love you want… Or rather, it’s not the love you need.” He was longing for a way around such demonstrations of need from her, because they never ended how she wanted, and that resulted in his displeasure.
“Fuck you!” Annie began to cry as she slapped him. “You fucking freak! Get out of the bathroom! Can’t you see I’m naked! I can dry myself off thank you very much!” She screamed at him as he left, casually – another dramatic weekend with his daughter. He didn’t know what to do. He stopped at the door and turned around to see her standing there, holding the towel in one hand, dripping on the floor, refusing to dry herself off.
“Annie, I forgot – I came up here to tell you Mom needs me to come get Jamey. She’s got friends coming over and can’t have him around. You know how that is…” He looked down to see a puddle of water dying in red dripping from her cuts, her blood pressure having risen and breaking the fragile balance of clotting in each and every cut. “I’ll be back in thirty minutes, unless you need me home sooner. I can get there and back in fifteen if I speed. Just call my cell.” He turned and walked out.
Annie stood there motionless and waited to hear his car fire up and pull out of the driveway just beyond her bathroom. When she was certain he had left, she walked downstairs to the garage, leaving the puddle of blood and water, and the two towels, behind. She lurked around the garage with an almost graceful air, looking for anything that would suffice as a rope. She reached for a black extension cable and walked back up to her room, flooding her head with memories. When life was so wonderful… how far ago had that been? When was she last happy? When had she last been to school? When was her last sane thought? Trace back – trace back – trace back… She fell deep into the rabbit hole as her body moved up the stairs. Reality faded away in shape and form of the sludge on the bottom of a cold coffee cup, dying patiently until all reality had been lost…
Voices ring from downstairs through the air vents, breaking the isolating walls forming boundary from Annie and the rest of the world as her two parents argue with first their son, and then each other.
“Jamey – you’re free to go. Your father and I need to have a talk!” Her mother waited for the door to close and her brother’s car to pull out of the driveway. “There’s no point in coming down on him so hard Buck! Fuck! We both did drugs when we were his age. I don’t think his following our example is grounds for punishment until he passes five,” and she emphasized five, “random drug screenings!”
“Are you joking me Arielle? We smoked marijuana. We weren’t doing any of these other drugs he’s on! Christ – cocaine!? There’s none of that in my system, and there never was. So unless you did it at any point, I don’t understand why his doing anything other than marijuana is okay!” Annie’s father spoke harshly to her mother. They had been going at it over problems smaller than this – as small as who’s going to go get groceries.
“I don’t understand you Buck! You used to be so free-spirited! So fun-loving! Ever since Jamey came along you’ve been uptight! You need to take the fucking stick out of your ass!”
“Maybe I haven’t been so fucking free-spirited since Jamey because I realized that we had a child to take care of! And when Annie came along I realized that I had to work double-time to take care of us, because God fucking knows your lazy ass can’t do anything more than go party with your friends! I’m surprised Annie’s not fucked up with all the drinking you did while you were pregnant!”
“Oh, so now you’re blaming this whole mess on me? He’s your fucking son! You wanted a baby in the first place. And she’s your fucking daughter! You’d love for her to be messed up, too, wouldn’t you!? Because then you could blame THAT on me too! You’re such an asshole, Buck!”
“He’s my son? She’s my daughter? I’m sorry, but I’m pretty sure you were more than willing to have my cock inside of you without protection! I’m pretty sure it was you who said ‘Let’s make a baby, Buck! Let’s have a kid, Buck! Come on, Buck! Let’s go! Right now! Fuck a condom!’ Yeah! You remember that, don’t you!?”
“Fuck you, Buck! I was drunk and you knew that! You took advantage of me!”
“When you married me you signed all advantage over to me, and I you! And when the hell aren’t you drunk? Hell, I can smell gin on your breath right now! I’m sure Jamey’s out with his fucking friends right now drinking and smoking and dropping pills right now!”
“Don’t try and pin this on me you fucking asshole! I don’t need this shit! Go to hell! I’m getting my stuff and I’m leaving!”
“Good! Fucking leave! We’ll all be better off without your lazy ass taking up all our money for your booze and partying! You don’t help to raise the kids as it is!”
“And you do? You’re at work all day long, and almost all night too! You’re home for a few days a week and you sleep most of that away!” They had moved in to the bedroom just below Annie’s, currently her mother’s room – they quit sleeping in the same room long ago.
“I wonder why, damn it. Maybe it’s because you don’t have a job of your own! With all the guys you hang around you’d think you’d make a buck or two! I’ve got to work my ass off so that our kids can stay in a decent school and decent neighborhood so that they grow up at least half as decent as me!”
“One ‘Buck’ is enough for me, thank you very much! And I’m not some hooker on the street corner! What about me? If they grow up half as decent as me they’d be just fine too!”
“Fuck, Arielle, I hear guys come in late at night, enter your room, and then you moaning! It doesn’t even sound like they’re old enough to be legal! As for being half as decent as you, both of them were half as decent as you when they were the combined age of five!”
Arielle stopped packing, turned to Buck, and slapped him across the face. Buck didn’t move. She slapped him again, to no avail, and again and again until she broke down crying at his feet. “I don’t want to leave you and the kids! Don’t let me! Don’t make me! I’m sorry, I’ll change!”
Buck stood there, cold and inert. “You can finish packing, get out of my house, go drive the car I bought you to somewhere, and when you can support yourself well enough to show me that you’ve changed, then you can come back with me and the kids.”
“You’re a fucking asshole! Get out of my room!” She pushed him out, spitting harsh words and foul notes at him until there was room enough to slam the door in his face and lock it up tight.
Annie remembered crying herself to sleep that night while her father and mother fought more, up to the point where her mother left. She remembered falling asleep with her face buried in a tear-soaked pillow. She remembered her brother coming home, waking her up, and yelling at her dad. She remembered being taken away in her brother’s car to where her mom was staying – an empty apartment her and her friends had bought for their parties and activities. She remembered living there for a while.
Annie remembered how to tie a noose. She punched a hole in her ceiling to find the runners after she determined that the ceiling fan wouldn’t hold her. Her hand was cut from the jagged stippling of the ceiling, laced with sheetrock, which also riddled the floor and her bed. It had been ten minutes since her dad had left her alone. She reached for the cell phone which normally rested at her hip, only to find her bare flesh. She was cold, naked, and bleeding, still dripping with water.
Annie kicked the ceiling fan on high and scavenged the clothes laying on her floor for a cell phone. If she called her dad now, he could be home in the next 10 minutes – 5 if he really thought she was in trouble. All he would have to do is turn around. She just had to time it right…
The phone rang… “Hello? Annie – are you okay?”
“No… I think someone’s trying to get into the house! I’m upstairs right now. All the doors are locked, but I think they went around back! Daddy…”
“It’s alright baby girl – I’ll be right home. I’m turning around now. Will you be okay while I call the police real fast, or have you done that already?”
“Daddy.. I’m so scared… Aah!” Annie faked a scream after tossing a glass vase down from the banister, the shattering on the carpet muffling the sound, appearing as if it had been done from further than eight feet away. “The glass just broke in! Daddy!”
“I’ll be right there, doll! Just lock your doors up tight and get in the bathroom. I’m going to hang up real quick so I can alert the police! Do the same, sweetie.”
“Alright, Daddy…” She faked her sobs and her breathing as well as her mother had – “It’s easy to learn from example when the example comes from a manipulative bitch of a woman!” That’s what her father always said when he thought no one was listening in on him to his friends.
Annie began to prepare the noose from the runner in the ceiling, wrapping up the cord along a good bit of the board to take up slack. The tedious task began to help her slip into another fade of memories…
Jamey had been washing the dishes at the apartment that night – Annie had done the house cleaning the last three days in a row and it was well past Jamey’s turn to do some of it. Annie was sitting doing her homework in front of the T.V. when her mother staggered in the door. She turned to see Jamey doing the dishes and then turned to Annie, who looked like she was just sitting back watching television.
“Annie! Get up off your ass and do some work around here! Jamey’s in the kitchen washing all these dishes and you’re sitting there watching T.V.!” Her mom’s words slurred a little, and her words were more aggravated than angry. She didn’t yell, but her tone was worse.
“Mom, I’m doing my homework!” Annie pleaded. “And I’ve done the –”
Her mom cut her off, “I can see blatantly that you’re not doing your homework! The T.V. is on and you’re in front of it! Do you think I’m stupid!? Just for that, take your brother’s place. You can do the dishes, and then ‘do your homework’.”
Annie took her brother’s place at the sink and began to wash the pile of dishes that had accumulated over the last week or so. It was amazing what all they began to eat out of before they ran out of any form of dish. Her mother called him in to her bedroom for a chat, leaving Annie alone to do everything there was to be done, once again. She mulled over the situation a bit before getting started on an old pot of spaghetti.
Thirty minutes went by and Annie hadn’t seemed to put a dent in the dishes. She had to load the dishes up, and then dry them all off and put them away in order to make room for the rest. It was slow going, and she was tired and frustrated. She dried her hands and went to her mom’s room to ask if Jamey could come help her so it would go faster.
“Jamey must have gone off to bed…” she thought, noticing the light from her mom’s room had been off. She opened the door anyways, thinking maybe she just couldn’t see the light through the cracks – it had happened before.
“Mom?” she whispered lightly, incase her mother had fallen asleep. The light from the other room crept in, casting a light upon her mom and her brother lying on the floor naked. Jamey’s body moved back and forth, body contorted to allow him to suck his mother’s bare breasts. Annie’s mom had her eyes shut tight with her mouth wide open, moaning softly at her son’s invasion of her body with his.
“Mom? Jamey?” Annie fumbled out of her lips. The two looked over at her, Jamey smirking, her mom biting her lip as Jamey continued to pump in and out.
“Christ Jamey, get off a second.” Her mother stood up, sexual juices running down her leg. Jamey followed behind her, his body rubbing against his mother’s. He was grinding slowly against her ass, as his hands fondled his mother’s breasts. “Annie, it’s okay. It’s natural for two people to show their love in this way.”
“Why don’t y’all show your love for me that way?” Annie asked, confused about the situation at hand. She looked down at her brother’s penis, never having been exposed to something like it before. “And…”
“Aw, sis, it’s alright. Don’t worry about it. We didn’t think you were old enough. But I think you obviously are, now, especially since you’re handling this in such a mature way.” He walked over to, stroking himself. He turned to his mother who nodded. “Come on. Take off your clothes little sister.”
Annie did as she was told – she was tired of being alone. She wanted to be loved, and if this was how, then she was willing to take whatever would have to be taken. She began to remove her shirt, at this point braless, exposing her breasts to her mom and brother. Jamey smiled and moved closer to her, rubbing his sister’s chest gently, introducing her to the feeling. She hesitated for a moment, and then began to make noise at the touch of his fingers to her nipples, a groan slipping as he began to lick and suck on them as they hardened. His hands worked her skirt for her, simply slipping up underneath and drawing down the Hello-Kitty underwear she was wearing. She giggled at the touch of her inner thigh and then gasped as a finger slipped in to her slit.
She stood there, exposed to her family, waiting for love.
Tears began to roll down her face as her head slipped in to the noose. She waited checked that it would work and then loosened it back up and moved her bed over. Annie had planned to jump from her bed and let her feet dangle just barely from the floor. That would work well – she’d be easier to rescue that way. She watched the clock – she knew how long it would take her dad to get back. Any time now…
Annie had pleaded with her mom to let her go see her dad for the weekend. Her mom caved in and let her. Her dad was still working extra shifts at each of his jobs, so he had little to no energy, but he used what he had on her. Annie didn’t understand this – she thought he was being distant; angry that she had left him along with Jamey and her mom. She didn’t want that by Sunday when she was supposed to be taken back that evening.
Her dad was asleep on the couch Sunday afternoon. He told her he’d need rest before the trip – that he was real tired. “Daddy… You love me right?” she asked.
“Of course baby girl!”
“You’d show your love any way you could?”
“You know I would. That’s why I’m so tired. So can I go to sleep for a little bit? I’m really sorry…Next time you want to come over, let me know so I can get my schedules fixed up.”
“Mmkay…” She sat and watched him as he fell asleep. She waited for a bit before doing all that she knew how to do. Desperate for his love and attention she thought that what worked for Jamey and her mom would work for her and her dad.
She got naked, her clothes lying on the floor by the couch. She began to remove her father’s pants, slipping his penis out from the hole in his boxers. He stirred a little but didn’t wake up. It began to stiffen as she rubbed it with her hands, and then she remembered what Jamey had taught her about sucking. She began to attend to her father’s penis with her mouth, the body working without the interference of conscious deterrence, and she rightly received a shot in the mouth. She swallowed it down and proceeded to mount her dad. “Your cherry’s a very special gift, sis. I don’t want to take it. So we’ll show our love differently until you’ve given it up. Give it to someone you really want to love you.” Jamey’s words rung in Annie’s head. She lowered herself down on to her dad’s erection once she got it back up, biting her lip at the discomfort, reaching a point where it wouldn’t go any further. She at that time let herself drop down on him, breaking her wall and sending a muffled yelp of pain. Blood trickled from between her legs but she proceeded.
She worked the pain off as she moved up and down along her father’s shaft, loosening herself up, pleasing herself, enjoying the sensation – this feeling of love and pleasure and satisfaction that had been gone for the last bit of time. Her dad woke at the orgasm within his daughter, startled once his moans of joy realized they were due to his daughter.
“What the fuck Annie!?” he yelled as he pushed her off him, noticing blood on his boxers, along with others of her juices, and his own semen tipping out of his penis. She looked at him in a confused manner.
“Dad… but… I just wanted you to love me… so I gave my cherry to you…” She began to cry in her frustrations and he tried to comfort her, wrapping her in a nearby blanket.
“Annie, I love you – you know that. I can’t show you any other way. But what you did is not appropriate! Oh my god… I don’t even know if you’ll get pregnant. You can’t…Who told you that was okay?”
“Jamey and mom… I found them doing the same thing a while back, and we’ve been showing each other how much we love one another ever sense… And I wanted to show you… but you obviously don’t –”
“No, Annie – That is wrong. Your mom is not someone you should listen to! I was wrong to trust her with y’all, but I thought maybe it would be okay…You’re not going back tonight. This is wrong. Jamey…He won’t stay here anyways. But you will…”
But she didn’t. Arielle had called the police on her husband for kidnapping, but dropped all charges. Custody was all she wanted. And she continued to twist her children’s minds until…
“There are the police… Dad’s here… It’s time.” Annie slipped her head into the noose and waited… One door was opened forcefully – the police trying to check things out quick. She jumped and her neck broke. She dangled three inches from the floor, lifeless. The runner hadn’t even creaked. But thoughts ran through her head. Thoughts run until all the electrical impulses in your body quit. She was there long enough to see her dad wasn’t with the police when they walked in. She was alive, mentally, to scream at the world.
All she wanted was her father to love her, and he couldn’t do one god-damned thing right. He couldn’t even get back to the house with the police. He was late… too late… He never loved her. He never showed her any affection. He was always too tired for her. He was always too busy. Only Jamey and her mother cared. They still had each other. Her dad was lonely, like she was for that year. He would have to face it, like she did. He would eventually drive himself to it the same steps…
And then, just before her father walked in the house, Annie’s thoughts quit. Annie had no more electrical impulses running through her nerves to her brain to process anything, anymore. She left the world angry, scared, unsatisfied, unloved, and alone…
At the funeral Arielle and Jamey had a few choice words for Buck. He stood alone on one side of the casket, faulted for what happened. He was the only one who ever really cared for her, and he was the one to receive every last bit of blame. He had nothing to live for anymore. Buck was faithless in himself…
As the pastor finished the closing prayer, Buck stepped forward. He spoke softly, but the rest of the service could hear him. “Annie, my doll… I loved you more than the world. I loved to kiss you and make you smile, but that stopped…” Buck dropped a rose. “I loved to hug you, but that stopped…” Buck dropped a rose. “And I always wanted to be involved in your life… I was always so involved in your life, I never had time to spend with you… I had to make it okay for you and your brother and your mom…” Buck dropped to his knees, leaning on the casket. He sat for a while, sobbing, and then he got up slowly, holding a gun in his hand. “But that stopped, and now I can be involved in your life – we can do everything you wanted to do, and I won’t be tired anymore…” His words were quieted by the gasps and persuading words of the service, all to be replaced with screams as he pulled the trigger, shooting himself in the temple. Buck collapsed on the casket, holding it in embrace, or so it seemed.
Just before the bullet left the other side of his brain, the electric impulses gathered and passed with the bullet’s lead, and he remembered every last second of her life, and how he had rushed home to save her. How he had been delayed because his haste had cost him a ticket, and accident, and someone else’s life. How he refused to remain at the scene in order to rescue his daughter from peril. And all this to show her he loved her… All of that to show her that she wasn’t alone, and that she never would be. And then the bullet left, trailing with it thoughts, scattering every last bit of intent he had in himself across the tombstone of the one person he loved. He left the world desperate, hopeless, unsatisfied, unloved, and alone…
