Chapter: Not Straight CHAPTER 19NOT STRAIGHT ELIAN“Flour, butter, cheese, sugar and extra virgin olive oil.” I recite the list Maria wrote for me back to her, “is that all?”“Yes that is all for now,” she replies with a warm smile, “follow Mario he’ll take you to the store I usually get this.” My eyes widen at her words, Mario? My Mario? My best friend Mario? Ohhhhh today just got very interesting.I give her a bright smile, a little too bright actually. “alright I’ll be very, very happy to follow Mario.” Hopefully he can teach me a thing or two about the ways of the human breast.“Thank you so, so much Evan, you're too kind.” she says ruffling my hair.“There’s no problem at all Maria, if you can save me just one slice of the cheesecake you can consider that my payment.” She laughs the wrinkles around her almond eyes deepening, “Alright, consider it done.”Janet is the cook of the house but Maria is the baker(who needs a cook and a baker? Can’t Janet just bake? Or Maria cook? Isn’t this a bit overkill

Chapter: DaylightCHAPTER 18DAYLIGHTAIDENI write and sometimes I paint. At first I started with writing stories, stories of strong heroes who went off to distant lands to vanquish powerful foes and bring honor to their kingdoms. I wrote of princesses trapped in magical towers, fated to live a life dictated by their horrible conniving mother but through the power of true love and determination manage to free themselves from such a fate. One time I wrote of a ghost that haunted a village for a hundred years but that ghost was actually a misunderstood little boy longing for a friend.And then one day I got bored, behind my parent’s back I purchased an easel with a set of paint brushes and some water colors. I was terrible at first. I couldn't even draw a butterfly, but after eight years of constant practice I’m slightly less terrible. My first painting was of a butterfly with hideous wings but that was my intention, I believed that not all butterflies had to be pretty there was an ugly one somewhere ju

Chapter: ReptileCHAPTER 17REPTILEELIANJanet is in a particularly bad mood today, which just means she’s extra bossy and irritable. I sigh as I wipe down the piano. Today she instructed me to clean the music room and gave me a special cleaning solution for the different instruments, a bit overkill in my opinion. However my mind isn’t on the task I’m performing but with my encounter with Clara yesterday.I climbed the stairs to the third floor with my mind racing with various possibilities, despite the fact that I haven’t done anything to get me in trouble wasn’t enough to dispel the worry that maybe just maybe she found out about my plan and the moment I step through the door I would be greeted by a barrage of policemen with angry faces.But instead I met Clara in a long silky gown and a high slit that showed off a glimpse of her long legs. She is the exact opposite of Elena. While Elena is short with a full figure, Clara is taller with smaller proportions. Not to mention one is a brown skinned teen

Chapter: Bed HopperCHAPTER 16BED HOPPERAIDENI haven’t done anything today. I haven’t felt like it at all. Aunt Clara and I used to live in complete harmony but now I feel like we fight every five seconds. I sigh as I climb out of bed, walking to the kitchen to find something to eat. But I know food won’t heal me. I feel so tired on the inside…I just want to die.I hear footsteps just as I enter. I suppose aunt Clara has returned from golfing. I hide beside the refrigerator, as a certified coward I’m obviously not going to speak to her not yet at least. She and Elian are the only people in the world that I speak to. If I don’t talk to her then I will truly die alone.“Hello Evan, you look quite dashing, follow me this way please.” I hear her say.Evan? Who is E- “thank you so much for having me here Miss Clara.”The moment the voice sounds my heart goes into frenzy, Evan is Elian? Yes, Evan is Elian he mentioned it the day we met but why is he here?“There is no problem at all.” I hear their footsteps

Chapter: DateCHAPTER 15DATEELIAN“Do you really have to go?” Mara asks, staring at me with huge watery eyes.“Yes my sweet princess,” I reply with a sad smile, “I have to work so I can take care of you. You guys can’t stay with josh forever you know? We will need to move to our own place eventually.” “I know but still…” she whispers more tears gathering in her eyes, “I miss you.”I sigh deeply as I pull her small frame towards me. She melts into my arms burying her face in my neck. Mart stays by the side watching us with an awkward smile; he's not a fan of physical affection. I pull him towards me anyway, holding them both in each arm. This is it… this is living, Mara and Martin my home and my life. I separate from them and reluctantly place a kiss on their foreheads as I rise. “Alright be good ok?” if I don’t leave now I feel like I never will, “If you need anything just call I’ll come as soon as I can.” Mara nods. ‘Did you get that buddy?’ I ask mart. He nods with a smile. I ruffle his hair,

Chapter: BrokenCHAPTER 14BROKENAIDENI sit alone in the west garden playing with my favorite spider man toy. It's late afternoon, father is at work and mother is passed out drunk as always. These few hours are the only time I can enjoy some semblance of peace. I imagine that one day I would wake up with extraordinary powers, powers strong enough to heal my mother and make my father young forever so that we can become a happy family.The steady sound of footsteps echo loudly around me resounding inside my brain, making my heart tremble with fear; mother is awake! I quickly throw spider man behind a bush, “sorry spider man.” I whisper as I hurriedly stand to my feet.“Aiden? Aiden!? Aiden?” mother calls loudly her voice sounds hoarse as her footsteps draw closer.“Yes mother?” I reply putting on a fake smile just for her.She appears before me with long black hair in a tattered mess, her brown eyes filled with endless hatred and her small lips in a scowl. I am an exact carbon copy of her but she hate
