The Real World II by ajbrown2005@yahoo.com Dangerous neighbor has a dangerous friend send comments to ajbrown2005@yahoo.com A sequel to "The Real World" Dan lay in his hospital bed reading a magazine, with the television on, and two tubes dug into his chest trying to keep him alive. What was beginning to drive Dan even more insane than the severe beat-down he had received the previous day was the fact that he was confined to this hospital bed. Dan was an active young man, he liked to be on his feet, working out, engaging in athletics, walking. None of that would be happening for at least the next week. The one bit of good news was that Dan's older sister, Ann, would be visiting today and bringing along her 2 1/2 year old son, Jonathan. Dan loved his nephew, Jonathan. Jonathan was only 2 1/2 but he was by far the brightest 2 1/2 year-old Dan had ever met. The toddler was extremely observant and most importantly he looked up to and admired his Uncle Dan more than anyone Dan had ever met. Dan was happy that his sister was coming to visit but the fact that she was bringing Jonathan was what put a big smile on his face, the first smile he had cracked since before his horrific beat-down. 28 year-old Ann entered the hospital room holding cute little Jonathan's hand as he walked along side of her. Dan expected the first word out of his sister's mouth to be "hi" but that was not the case. Instead she took one look at her severely injured brother, covered in bruises, and with two tubes dug into two repulsive holes in his chest and all she could say was "Oh my God, I can't look" and she turned her head to the wall in disgust. Dan watched his frail, weak-stomached sister wince and thought for sure that little Jonathan would react the same way, especially since his mother just had. Instead Jonathan looked his uncle confidently in the eyes, said "Hi Uncle D" and gave Dan a high five. Initially Dan was excited that Jonathan was coming to see him but his excitement quickly turned to shame. Despite the fact that Dan looked like he should be in a freak show in his current state and his sister could not even look at him, brave, courageous little Jonathan was still able to look Dan straight in the eyes and give him a high five. Meanwhile, Dan was restricted to a hospital bed because he had been beaten up by a girl. His 2 1/2 year old nephew was already more courageous and more of a man than Dan would ever be. Dan felt so guilty for letting his young nephew down and being such a failure by allowing this to happen to him. Dan had to do everything in his power to hold back the tears as he gave his nephew a high five. A week and a day later Dan was released from the hospital, his lung fully healed. He walked into his apartment knowing that any second Sherry would be at his door wanting to know why he had disappeared and not been at her apartment cleaning it for her like she had ordered. Luckily he had two permanent scars on his chest to prove that he had been in the hospital with a collapsed lung and hopefully that would be a good enough excuse to avoid punishment from Sherry. An hour passed and Sherry had not come over yet. Maybe she forgot about him. Impossible. Most likely she was just not home right now. Whatever the case was, Dan realized that as much as it scared him to go back to Sherry's apartment it would definitely help him avoid penalty if he proactively went to her and explained where he had been rather than her tracking him down. Dan walked over to Sherry's apartment and he felt himself breaking a sweat and beginning to shake in fear as he knocked on her door. He winced as the door opened but relaxed a bit when someone other than Sherry answered the door. Standing in front of him was a cute, smaller girl, with long, curly strawberry blonde hair. Although Dan guessed the girl to be in her late twenties, she had an extremely cute little school girl look to her which made her look younger than what her actual age probably was. She had a very pretty face and wore a pink, two-piece bathing suit. Dan wondered if the girl was a roommate or just a friend of Sherry's but more-so he wondered why every girl that hung out in this apartment was always wearing a bathing suit. "Is Sherry here?" Dan asked the girl. "Are you Dan?" she asked. Dan nodded, unsure if that was a good idea or not. "Great, come on in" she said excitedly and then she laughed and gave him a big hug as she let him in and shut the door. As scared as Dan was, this overfriendly girl was actually making him feel a bit comfortable. "I'm Cindy" the girl said energized and she shook Dan's hand. "Is Sherry here?" Dan asked again. "No she moved to California" Cindy replied. "I'm a good friend of hers so I agreed to move into her apartment for the remainder of the lease so she didn't get in trouble with the landlord." Dan felt like he had just been released from jail. Did Sherry really move to California? Here he sat in Cleveland, Ohio and if Sherry had truly moved to California she would not be beating him up again anytime soon. It was way too good to be true. It had to be a bluff. "Are you serious?" Dan asked Cindy giving her a look like she better not lie to him. "I swear to God" Cindy replied and being a great liar himself he could tell by looking into Cindy's eyes that she was telling the truth. "I am so happy for her" Cindy continued. "I love Sherry, she is such an awesome girl with an awesome personality, don't you think?" Dan was stunned and even found it a bit humorous that Cindy expected him to share her same appreciation for the girl that almost killed him. He didn't respond to her question but gave her a sarcastic look implying that he did not agree with her. "Well anyway, where have you been the past week?" Cindy asked. "Sherry told me you were supposed to be here a week ago cleaning the apartment and being her bitch." "I was in the hospital because Sherry made my lung collapse" Dan replied and for some reason he did not feel embarrassed about what he said. "That makes sense" Cindy replied. "Sherry is a strong girl." "Yeah, that's nice" Dan replied blowing her off. He began to walk towards the door. "If Sherry is in California I'm out of here. I'll see you around the building." "Not so fast" Cindy replied with a laugh. "Sherry may be gone but now I'm taking over this apartment and I am taking over you as well. You'll be taking orders from me now." Dan wanted to laugh out loud. He looked at the small little redhead who stood about 9 inches shorter than him at about 5'4 and who couldn't have weighed more than 120 lbs. When he first looked at Sherry he thought he would be able to beat her up and was deceived, however he also remembered the doubt he had when he looked at Sherry's meaty arms and extremely muscular legs. Cindy was about 20 pounds lighter than Sherry was and although her legs were well toned they were not thick and muscular like Sherry's, and Cindy arms were skinny as can be. Before his last fight Dan had serious doubts if he could win but after looking at this small girl Dan didn't have a single doubt in his mind that he would be able to take her. "I'll be taking orders from you, huh?" he asked sarcastically. "How do you figure you will make that happen on your own?" "Because if you don't I will beat you up?" she responded and then she let out a loud, little-girl giggle. "Do you want me to beat you up right now?" Dan thought of a witty answer to this over-confident little girl's response but then was distracted when he saw an ace bandage wrapped around her foot. "What happened to your foot?" he asked. "I broke it" she replied. Dan laughed out loud for real this time. "So you're telling me you're going to beat me up with a broken foot?" he said loudly and laughed again as he asked that question. "Yes" she replied seriously and confidently. "I wouldn't try fighting one of my judo partners this way but a skinny little wimp like you won't be a problem." This small little girl had now pushed Dan over the edge and he was ready to fight. He got into his fighting stance and so did she. Cindy had a large pretty smile on her face and although she was driving Dan crazy, he admired her confidence. "Don't worry" she laughed and lightly smacked him in the chest. "I will make sure not to hurt your lung again you will do me no good if you are laid up in the hospital for another week." The two grabbed each other at the shoulders. Dan had no intention of going easy on Cindy even for a second as he add already learned not to underestimate the strength of a girl. That started to grapple and he quickly brought her to the ground. As he held the small girl down he could see the struggle in her eyes and could tell that she was not just simply letting him have his way. He held her down on the ground and she lay on her back. It took some work to hold her down but Dan was still succeeding and he figured he would just keep her pinned down until she ran out of breath. Cindy tried to wriggle free but he was able to stay on top of her and keep her on the ground. The two wrestled around for awhile with Dan keeping control the entire time. Cindy tried to slither free and she ended up lying on the ground with a wooden chest right next to her head that she did not see. Dan did see the chest and he thought about the fact that all he would have to do was slam her head into it a couple of times and this fight would be over with quickly. However, the gentleman side of him took over and he pushed the chest away from them so Cindy would not hit her head on it. That would ultimately be a huge mistake. Dan continued to overpower the small little girl and keep her pinned down on the ground and although she was losing, she had a lot more spunk than he thought and continued to try and fight herself free without submitting. Dan realized he was going to have to step this up a notch if he was going to wear down this fiery little girl so he pinned down her shoulders with his knees. "A little school-girl pin?" Cindy laughed. "Looks like you got me." Dan remembered last time when he thought he was winning and ended up being fooled so he decided he would not sound too overconfident yet. "Whatever" he replied. "I know your game." Cindy laughed and the two continued two wrestle around some more with Dan still keeping Cindy pinned on the ground and him enjoying the struggle he saw in her eyes. After a couple of more minutes of wrestling, little Cindy was able to get her legs free and wrap them around Dan's torso which he knew he did not want to let happen. He quickly tried to use his arms to stop Cindy's legs from squeezing him too tight figuring that her smaller legs would not be nearly as strong as his last opponent's. This turned out to be a poor assumption. Cindy quickly tightened her legs around Dan's trunk and he tried to pry them apart but they were way too strong and it was no use. Dan knew he had to find a way out of these scissors real quickly or he could be in a lot of trouble again. He squeezed away down her powerful legs and it did absolutely no good so he reached down more and squeezed her feet as hard as he could. "Owww, owwww" she yelled at him seriously and assertively. "I have a broken foot." Dan found it ridiculous that this girl would think he cared about hurting her foot when she was here trying to beat him up but then remembered that she agreed to go easy on his injured lung and he figured he better leave her foot be or this could get ugly real quickly. "Sorry" he replied and let go. "Are you okay?" "No" she snapped back. "That's why I have a bandage on my foot." The two briefly stopped fighting while Cindy let her foot recover but within seconds they were wrestling again. Now that Cindy was warmed up she started getting feistier and the small girl was able to throw Dan down onto his stomach. He realized he was beginning to lose and knew he had to do whatever it took to stop this from happening but Cindy was much stronger than Dan anticipated, even her skinny arms. The broken foot was not slowing her down one bit. As she held Dan down on his stomach she began squeezing Dan's cut, but skinny arms behind his back to the point where they were almost touching each other. "Wow you are flexible" Cindy laughed. "I've never had a pair of arms that I can squeeze this far back." Dan tried as hard as he could to get his arms free but as she squeezed them back Dan felt his arms going numb and he realized he would not be getting free until Cindy wanted to let him. She squeezed his arms together more behind his back until his elbows actually touched each other. Cindy let out a cute, loud, giggle, like a little girl. "Wow" she laughed in amazement. "I have NEVER been able to make someone's elbows touch behind their back before. You must be double-jointed." Dan knew that he was not double-joined but that Cindy had just forced his puny little body to do something that it was not meant to do. His arms were completely numb now, he had no feeling in them whatsoever, and he feared that if Cindy continued to do this he would not be using them for a long time if ever. "Okay, I give up" he submitted. Cindy let him go and let out another cute little-girl giggle. Dan rose to his knees and stretched his arms out trying to get the feeling back in them and also trying to test and see if he was still able to use them. The small, cute little girl had gotten Dan to submit. He was beyond humiliated. He looked up and down at the small little girl. She was so tiny and had a pretty little innocent face. No matter what, he could not let this girl beat him; it would be too much damage to his pride. He attacked her again. Cindy obviously had some fighting skills that she did not initially show because now she quickly brought the taller Dan to the ground again. She locked his arm up into an arm bar and then used her leg to lock his leg up. It was clear that her legs were much stronger than his as she used her leg to make his leg bend in ways that the human leg is not supposed to bend. The pain was unbearable. "You have some muscle in your arms but your legs are puny as can be" Cindy commented as she held Dan like a pretzel. "Don't you ever work your legs when you work out?" "Not really" he replied. "Well you have to work your legs" she advised. "That is where all of your strength comes from." Cindy's advice was obvious by the way she was dominating him with her leg strength but her legs were so much stronger than his were that Dan thought even if he did squats and steroids every day for the next 2 months that his legs would still not be as strong as Cindy's. Cindy twisted Dan's weak limbs some more, he submitted for the second time, and Cindy let go. "Two to zero" Cindy laughed as she announced the score of their submissions. Dan got to his knees again. He was completely out of breath and he felt faint. He looked at the designs on the wallpaper and realized that he was even hallucinating a little bit. Dan had felt this feeling before and knew exactly what the dangers were of not giving up when he should. "Two to zero is the final" he replied to Cindy. "I give up, I am done." Cindy gave Dan a look of surprise and giggled loudly. "Why do you think you set the rules?" Cindy laughed. "You don't say when we are done, I do!" Cindy gave Dan a fiery look in the eyes and he could tell that she was going to attack him again. Dan looked towards the door and thought about making a run for it but he could tell that the door was too far away and that he would never make it in time. Cindy darted at Dan and he decided that if he fought back all that would do was tire him out more. He knew that his best defense against the tougher girl at this point was to get himself into a defensive position where she couldn't hurt him too badly. Cindy grabbed Dan and he voluntarily dropped to the ground onto his stomach and tried to lie in a position protecting his arms and his face. Cindy sat on Dan's back and began pulling his hair and squeezing his nipples. She grabbed at his hair, turned his head to the side, and gave him a couple of hard smacks to the face. Dan stopped trying to act like a tough guy and began whining like a baby. "Owww, ohhhhh, owwww" he whined and Dan realized that as he whined he sounded not only like a small child, but also a girl. "Ohhh, I love it when you whine" Cindy said with a soft and completely evil tone in her voice as she took complete pleasure in Dan's suffering. She pulled his hair and squeezed his nipples some more and then she took her feet and placed them right in Dan's face. The one foot had the bandage on it but the other one did not. Dan couldn't believe what this girl was doing. This was supposed to be a good clean fight and Dan was fine with any fighting but he could not stand having her humiliate him so badly by sticking her feet in his face. "Get your feet out of my face, I'm not a bitch" he yelled at her. "Not yet, but I am going to make you into my bitch" Cindy replied confidently. "Lick my feet!" Dan was not going to do this. As much as he hated getting beat up he could still deal with that, but being forced to lick someone's feet was inhumane and he knew that things would never be the same if he had to do something so demoralizing. "I won't do it" he whined. "Oh yes you will" she laughed and she stuck her toes right in his mouth. Dan could not believe this just happened. He had just been forced to suck on a little girl's toes. He would never be able to live this down. Cindy removed her foot from Dan's mouth but left it in his face. "Now lick it" she ordered. "Or I am going to really hurt you." Dan had already been shamed by having to suck on Cindy's foot so he figured he may as well lick it to avoid more pain. He looked at her little foot as he licked it. Her cute little toes were so tiny, her foot was dry as can be and her foot tasted dry and bitter as he licked it. "Owww, ooohh, owwww" Dan whined as he did the humiliating deed. "Boy do I love it when you whine" Cindy laughed as Dan whined some more. "You sound like such a little bitch!" Dan continued to whine as he licked her feet some more. "Aw, does little Daniel want his mommy?" Cindy mocked. "What would your mommy think of you right now getting picked on by a little girl like this? Poor little Daniel!" This taunting by Cindy was making things ten times worse for Dan. What would his mother think of him right now? Both his parents were always so proud of him, especially since he had just graduated college but he began to feel nauseous as he thought what his parents would think if they saw him right now. Cindy finally took her dry feet out of Dan's face and then turned around so her back was facing his head. She began to spank him and he continued to whine. "I just need to spank this tiny little butt" Cindy laughed. "I just can't help it you little bitch." Dan was wearing a thick pair of wind pants so the spanking didn't hurt him as much as Cindy probably thought, but it was still beyond embarrassing just the same. "Please, please, stop" Dan whined. "OK I'll stop" Cindy laughed. "Are you ticklish? I think I am going to tickle you. That is the absolute worst torture when there is nothing you can do about it." Initially Dan did not mind the threat of being tickled because he had many girls try to tickle him over the years without any success. However, as Cindy began to tickle Dan's armpits as she held him down Dan realized that she knew how to tickle better than any other girl he had ever met because he began to laugh uncontrollably. "Ha-ha" she laughed as she tickle-tortured him. Dan laughed uncontrollably by whined at the same time from the torture. Cindy stopped tickling his armpits then grabbed his feet and began to tickle them. "You have nice little man-feet" Cindy laughed as she tickled them. Dan wasn't sure if he should take that as a compliment or not but he did know that it was an observation he had definitely never heard before. He forgot about that altogether as she tickled his feet harder and he laughed harder. It was beyond humiliating. "Please stop" Dan begged. "OK" Cindy agreed. She stopped tickling him then turned around so she was facing the top part of his body again. "If you want me to stop tickling you I will just start hurting you again. How about a camel-clutch?" Cindy gripped Dan's chin with her hands then brought his head up in the air in a camel-clutch. It felt like Cindy broke Dan's back when she snapped his head back. "Owww, owwww, ohhhh" Dan whined with his girly little-bitch whine. "Aw, does that hurt little Daniel?" Cindy mocked. "Does little Daniel want his mommy again?" Dan continued to whine like a little bitch as Cindy continued to pull his head back farther and cause even more pain in his neck and back. "Ouch, ouch, oww" Dan whined. "Please stop!" "Poor little crybaby" Cindy continued to mock him. "Are you a little crybaby, Daniel? C'mon say it. Say 'Dan is a crybaby bitch'". Cindy was putting increased pressure on Dan's lower back with the camel-clutch and he became scared that she was going to do some serious damage so he did as he was told. "Dan is a crybaby bitch" he whined in a normal tone of voice. "Say it louder!" Cindy shouted. "Dan is a crybaby bitch!" he screamed wondering if any of the neighbors would hear it. Cindy stopped the camel-clutch and Dan's head flopped to the ground. Dan tried to push himself to his feet but Cindy quickly smacked him in the head as he did this. "I did not say you could get up yet" she ordered. Dan obeyed and laid flat back on the ground. Cindy smacked Dan hard across the face then flipped him over on to his back and as she did this his elbow scraped hard on the floor. He got a quick glance of his elbow after she did this and he could see the rug-rash already beginning to form. Now that Dan was lying on his back and Cindy was still sitting on him she gave him an extremely hard smack across the face and his ears began to ring and he saw stars. She followed that up with another hard smack to the face and Dan felt his eyes begin to water up. "I am so afraid of you" he whined like a little baby. Cindy ignored him and beat on him some more, rotating between smacking him, pulling his hair, and twisting his arms and legs around. The pain was unbearable and at this point Dan was willing to do anything just to make her stop. "I'll lick your feet if you stop" Dan begged. "You'll do that anyway" she said sternly and continued to beat on him. "Please" he whined. "I'll do whatever you want if you just stop." "But I like hurting you, Dan" Cindy said softly. "That is what I want." She beat on him some more and Dan knew that he could do nothing to stop it. After another few minutes of beating on him, Cindy put her sexy feet back in his face and stuck her toes back in his mouth. "Lick them some more" Cindy ordered and Dan did as he was told just thankful that she wasn't beating on him anymore. After Dan licked away at Cindy's feet for a couple of minutes, she finally got off of him. Dan remained lying on the ground, hurt and humiliated. Cindy bent down next to him and gave him a little kiss on his cheek with her soft, sweet lips which gave a very brief bit of joy to the beaten Dan. The joy went away when Cindy sat up and stretched her sexy legs over Dan's chest claiming herself as the victor of the fight. "See I didn't hurt you bad enough to put you in the hospital" Cindy said with satisfaction. "You do me no good if you're shacked up in a hospital bed." Although time would tell if this beating would put Dan back in the hospital, Dan was pretty sure it wasn't that bad. However, at the same time Cindy had humiliated him so badly that he almost would have preferred a harder beat down to what he had just been through. "OK get out" she ordered. "I am done with you for now but we will most certainly do this again." Dan gladly ran out of the apartment. He wasn't sure what the terms would be for his next encounter with the dominant Cindy but his only concern at this point was getting out of her apartment. Dan walked back into his apartment and looked himself in the mirror. He didn't have any bruises this time except for the big rug-rash on his elbow. Although this beat down was not nearly as bad as his previous one, the experience as a whole was much more horrific. Dan had a lot of friends who had been beaten up badly in their life but didn't know anyone who had been mortified the way Dan just had. He looked at his pathetic self in the mirror and wanted nothing more than to put mind-altering substances in his body and detach himself from the dreadful life he was now living. He wanted nothing more than to roll a nice, fat joint and get high, but after enduring a collapsed lung he decided that may not be a good idea. Instead he was going to have to go drink until he blacked out. Dan got in his car and drove to a nearby bar. He walked in and the atmosphere of the establishment seemed friendly enough and Dan hoped this place would cheer him up. He ordered a drink and began guzzling. About halfway through his first beer Dan did not feel well. His ribs felt like they were bruised, he had severe stomach cramps, and putting the beer in his body was just making those pains feel worse. What was even worse than the physical pain Dan was feeling was the mental pain. He could not get over the demoralizing experience he had just been through. Cindy had really struck a nerve when him when she started talking about his mother. Everything Dan did in his life was to make his parents proud of him and when he thought about his mother seeing him pinned on the ground by a little girl and being forced to do whatever she said, it sent eerie chills through his body. The worst part of all was that Cindy had forced Dan to lick her feet. He still could not get over how inhumane that was. He thought back to the days of slavery and thought that as bad as those slaves had it they were probably never forced to lick their masters' feet. The chills going through Dan's body became much worse and he felt himself becoming increasingly upset by the second. Suddenly Dan had a severe mood swing. He went from feeling upset and humiliated to a feeling of emptiness and worthlessness which was much more intense. He recalled feeling this way back in college after he took ecstasy pills and he would crash the next day after the drug wore off. That is exactly how he felt right now only this time the feeling was not drug-induced, it was all too real, and all too inescapable. Dan looked around the bar at how happy everyone else seemed and all he wanted was to feel happy again like everyone else felt. As Dan looked around, the horrible feelings he felt continued to get worse and it felt like his soul was slowly getting sucked out of him. All he wanted to do at this point was take his own life but a small, tiny logical side of him knew not to do this. The one thing he did know was that he had to get out of this bar immediately. Dan walked through the dark parking lot to his car. Although he didn't think it was possible, the feelings of emptiness and depression inside of him continued to worsen. The mental damage that Cindy had done to him was far more torturous than a collapsed lung. He tried to think of happy thoughts to cheer himself up but all of the things that used to make him happy couldn't even make him crack a small smile now. Dan felt like he was in hell. Dan got into his car and started it. It was late and Dan wanted to go to bed but he was an emotional catastrophe right now and knew he would not be able to sleep. Instead he just drove around the city of Cleveland for hours, his body feeling weak and frail, and his mind feeling like everything good that had ever entered his mind had been sucked out of it. If someone were to ask Dan how he felt the only answer would be "like he had been sent to hell." He wanted nothing more than just to cry his eyes out, like he had never cried before but he felt so empty that he couldn't even shed tears. Instead he just spent the rest of the night driving around aimlessly in his own little hell.
