[58] AWAY
“Finally” Aramide breathed fresh air watching the cars move by as she waited at the entrance of the hospital for Dared to bring her daughter, she had never been so happy to leave somewhere, a small smile played on her lips as she watched her daughter walk out of the hospital with Dared, it was a tight smile, but it was worth it.
They were going back home. Aramide had a lot to protest to that, but when Aracely began to shed a few tears, her motherly instincts kicked in, Her daughter did not deserve to suffer because of the things her parents did, That wasn't the life she wanted for her, but that didn't mean she was going to let him ride home with them. no. no. no.
“Are you sure you don't want me to take you? We are heading to the same place after all.” Dared pleaded when they reached Aramide.

“Let go of me! Let me go!” Aramide struggled against the paramedics that tried to take her away from the wreckage.“Leave me! Aracely! My baby!” She cried as she struggled against them, her fingers clawed on the hot ground, “Look! it's my baby, why are you taking me away from my baby” She said as she looked between a particular paramedic that was trying to help her and the ashes on the ground desperation filled her eyes, grief was like a disease, it slowly eats up a person, but breaks them, it breaks with the reality that they are powerless and no matter how many years they said or how many times they cry, they will never, ever be able to get back what was lost. They had covered enough ground away from the spot before Aramide screamed again, Almost as if she had been in a trance for a while, she darted around as reality hit her in waves again.“Aracely?” she cried out, “Ara! Aracely!" She
ARAMIDE [60] AFTER
The music was loud. Really loud. Latifa could feel her eardrums hurting, she was sitting at the far edge of the room, watching the commotion and adrenaline rush through everyone but her, She could faintly hear — underneath the loud noise, that would probably make her deaf soon — The demanding tone of her best friend. Latifa rolled her eyes as she flipped her scarlet hair and got to her feet, She slowly bit her lip as she strained her senses to identify exactly where her friend was. her vision comprised of a complete blur between disco colors and screaming teenagers, but she never missed the white— happy go lucky package that was going around. She was quite tall for someone who had just clicked sixteen, and her fashion sense made her look even older, Latifa was like one of those girls you could swear came from some magazine in fairyland, she was

“I'm leaving.” Aracely huffed as she started to walk out of the abandoned building Latifa had somehow convinced her to come to. Her fists tightened as she began to walk even farther away from the building, anger built up inside her and she honestly had no clue why was she was so angry, maybe she was angry because of how things had turned out to be, the truth was, Aracely just couldn't let go of the past, and today she was supposed to meet an integral piece of her life, was she ready for this? ready to confront the past and finally understand the sadness she had seen in her mother's eyes during her last days, how her gaze said a lot more than her lips did? was Aracely ready to know what Aramide's past was? “Ara wait” Latifa tried as she reached out to the girl but she didn't expect Aracely to yank away from her grip and glared at her with the meanest look she could have mustered at that moment, a slow monotone voice carefully escaping her lips as a tear trickle
ARAMIDE [62] REVERSE
"A-angel?" Aracely croaked out as she took a step back in shock, she almost stumbled but miraculously managed to maintain her steps as Latifa stayed few feet away from them deciding that staying out of the conversation was what was best Their eyes locked. Aracely had a million and one questions running through her mind, a thousand words threatening to spill down her tight lips, she wanted to ask a lot, say a lot, but she just couldn't find the words, it was like when you mentally prepare so much for an incident that when it happens you just go still and numb, totally ignorant about how to deal with the situation at hand. That was exactly how Aracely felt. Instead of trying to force words out through, Aracely proceeded to walk back into the building, Angel and Latina trailed behind her, and with every step, she took her heart beat faster, now, it wasn't the fear of not knowing the truth, it was the fear of maybe
ARAMIDE [63] EDGES
Aramide's fingers grazed over the picture that rested in her arms, her eyes watered with unshed tears as her bottom lip wobbled. Memories raced through her head as she tried to shush the hurricane within her. It had been ten years now. And nothing, absolutely nothing had changed. to the whole world, she was dead, just like dared and her daughter — Aracely, but aramide had been alive and she had spent the last ten years trying to find the person who murdered her family. The picture frame in her hands looked old, more like something that would suit some antique museum in the south or something, it was gold-framed, and in the picture Aracely was holding Dared's hands, trying, as usual, to force the man to do something less boring, the man had just returned from work though, and playing chess with his competitive daughter wasn't what he needed Aramide had barely shown in the photo, she remembered bursting

Then we will have our Christmas?” Aramide felt choke as a feeling struck her, her own eyes watered with tears and she didn't have the strength to wipe them away, Aracely did though, reaching out to her mother's cheeks she wiped away the tears and with a watery smile said“I love you, momma, Come back okay” she had whispered with so much emotion, A
ARAMIDE [65] WHAT IF?
Aracely breathed fresh air as she walked around the beach, watching the waves and tides go up and down, waver and them settle, she was wearing a black bikini with a black flannel, Sunglasses were delicately perched over her nose, resting carefully on them, She bit her lip as she paused mid-walk, now finally taking time to stare at the water, what was the event? Christmas. Christmas was coming soon.FLASHBACK“momma” Aracely whispered, the eight-year-old was sat on Aramide's lap as everyone celebrated Christmas. Dared had tried to play with the girl or even get her to just 'hang out with him, but she disagreed, Apparently in need of her mother's touch.“Yes, princess?” Aramide gingerly replied as she locked eyes with her little princess, the eight-year-old was wearing a blue princess gown and had a little wand in her hands, the combo was Aracely's idea, so Aramide just went along with it.&n
ARAMIDE [66] MEETING ACE
The man's foot assaulted the ground as he took slow yet heavy steps towards his destination, his fists clenched and unclenched, his eyes glossed over as a shade of rage surfaced on his features— That was probably why when he barged into the room where he was heading even the security didn't have it in him to stop him. The man was in his lateo thirties. He had a well trimmed beard and was fair skinned, he had blue eyes which could leave anyone mesmerized, The people around him knew him, they knew when his mood changed like moments like these it was better to leave him and watch like a spectator for the movie to play out The walls were adorned with Marble, this place was definitely expensive — but that did nothing to soothe the anger inside if him, bubbling up and twisting around like knots in his empty stomach, the same one he had left unfed when he barged out mid breakfast just to have this encounter. &n
