LISA
May 17th 2018
I sit up, clutching the side rails of my bed as I watch my knuckles turn white. I need to use the bathroom and I'm sick of ringing the damn bell, waiting for a nurse to fart arse about looking for a bedpan before I can take a piss.
I repetitively press the button that's hooked up to the morphine. A few seconds later, a chill runs through my veins, followed by an overwhelming sense of giddiness.
I swing my legs over the side of the hospital bed, wincing as my bare feet touch the cold surface of the floor. I wince a second time as I rip the IV drip from my hand.
Not because it hurt.
But, as I watch the amount of blood streaming from the tiny hole, it reflects that it would have stung like a bitch. I can not help but admire the scarlet red liquid in all its glory as it cascades down the side of my hand, staining the floor with tiny droplets.
On wobbly feet, I stand, trying to put all my
LAYLA May 17th 2018. I lay back on the bonnet of the car in the carpark to CLUBROOMs. I observe as the horizon gradually begins to shift. The flock of birds disperses over the sky just before dusk. "What the fuck are you doing here, Layla?" I sigh, knowing this isn't going to be easy but it needs to be done. I jump off the bonnet of his car and hold out the backpack full of money. "I came to return this and to say I'm sorry." He rips the backpack from my grasp, opening it up to check how much is inside. "Most of it's there. I spent three hundred on a room, food and a change of clothes." I offer him an explanation. He roughly closes the bag up again and glares at me. "Do you know the amount of chaos you have caused me?" He mutters. "No, but I'm pretty sure I have a fair idea." I look past him. My eyes look out into the distance to whe
CADDIE May 17th 2018 I eagerly await Mal's arrival. I am holding Vanko accountable for his promise to bring her over so I can witness for myself how well she is doing. To be quite honest, I have already changed my clothing three times, touched up my makeup every twenty minutes since 8 a.m., and sprayed a shitload of my favourite perfume on. All of this is to prepare for the possibility that he will come to the door and catch a glimpse of me. I want him to fully grasp what he is missing. I reapply clear lipgloss to my lips, comb my fingers through my hair, and return my gaze to Jaxson, who is currently having his first nap of the day. I stand by his crib, keeping a watchful eye on him. My face curls into a gradual smile. Even though he has Ace's blood coursing through his veins, I will always love him unconditionally, and while I have no idea where Ace has gone, to be honest, I could not care less.
MADDIE May 17th 2018 I pull up outside the club dressed entirely in black and wearing a blonde wig underneath the Patriots cap I found under the passenger front seat. I remove the petrol can from the car I rented from another town. I gave Chad 24 hours to contact me and re-offer my job with a few extra perks. It's now been 28 hours, and my patience with his idiocy has run out. "Time's up, mother fucker." I hiss aloud. It's 11 p.m., and everyone should be at home scrubbing themselves clean of the fifth their bodies have sustained throughout the day. While I sat across the street this morning, I noticed that the club's east wing had been temporarily closed. The large sign that read: 'CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE' Could be seen from the main road. I had intended to set fire to the entire building. However, I've changed my mind and I have chosen to ignite the east wing first. Just to dem
MALAYINAMay 22nd 2018The sun is obscured as the clouds shift and the beautiful sky turns gloomy. I stand with Caddie and Chad under the big willow tree as the rain starts to cascade upon us.As the last speech is being said by Laylas parents, I wipe the lone tear that glides down my flush cheeks. My heart breaks for them. I know what it is like to have someone ripped out of your life at the hands of another.Ice begins to crystallize in my veins.A mother should never have to bury her sweet, sweet princess.The casket begins to drop into the pit, people gather around the gravesite, placing their red roses on top as they whisper their final goodbyes.Today is Laylas funeral.Yesterday was Maddies.I'm still trying to come to terms that they're gone. I look over at Chad. Caddie has her arms wrapped around him like fire bands as his body trembles.
MALAYINAMay 22nd 2018"You always know how to push my fucking buttons, mikros!" (Little one) He hisses.He reaches into his pocket, pulls out his phone, tapping on the screen and presses it to his ear. "Bring the bastard back into the room." He snaps, his eyes never leaving mine.A cold chill snakes up my spine as he steps back and starts to remove his suit jacket. "Put it on." He demands holding it out towards me.I snatch it from his grasp and drape it over my shoulders as I glare at him. "Happy now?" I ask him sarcastically.He reaches out and starts to button the jacket up. "Satisfied enough." He grumbles.The door flies open and Vanko walks in with Dane by his side. "On your knees!"Dane looks at me with regret in his eyes as he kneels in front of Amar. "Did you enjoy tongue fucking my wife?" Amar slaps Dane across the face.I wince as the slapping sound echoes through the
CHAD May 22nd 2018 The loud crackling sound of fire echoes in my ears as burning phantom pains lick my skin. My eyelids feel heavy as I look through clouds of tears that haven't subsided in multiple days. They say time heals all wounds. Whoever said that needs a bullet between the eyes the lying bastards. I squeeze my eyes shut, trying to concentrate on elevating my breathing. With every passing day, my screams of remorse fill the rooms in my home. My sense of seclusion in my house has been shattered as the terrors of that fatal night that claimed Layla, Maddie and my Club haunt me day and night. "Chad? Did you hear what I said?" I slowly draw the curtains up, revealing my brown eyes as I look at detective Evie. "No, sorry," I admit, brushing a hand over my face as I release a shaky breath. "Are you sure you're up for this? We can always do this another day wh
CADDIE May 22nd 2018 I raise my eyes to the dark sea, strewn with flecks of light. The view is stunning, as the full moon stands high in the sky, illuminating the neighbourhood. I wrap my blanket tighter around my body as I sit on the cold steps, sipping on a cup of coffee. For the past twenty minutes, I've done nothing but think about how lucky I am to still be alive and appreciate the little things I have. I turn my head, looking back at the building over my shoulder as I can hear my phone ringing in the kitchen and I ignore it. Today we said our farewells to Layla and for some unexplainable reason, I feel quite emotional. I held Jaxson for two hours straight, staring down at him as he slept peacefully in my arms. I cried, kissing his head multiple times as I whispered in his ear, 'Thank you for choosing me to be your mum.' Most days I feel unworthy of his
MALAYINA June 02 2018 True to his word, Amar has managed to lure his grandfather into the country. He has arranged a fake auction for young girls, bringing the most corrupt and filthy rich men out to play. He said he wants to clean up the streets if he is to become the new Don of the Diamandis Family business. He won't stand by and watch his men degrade females while tarnishing his name. Vanko, a.k.a. Mini Hulk, has recruited a group of guys to maintain security and notify the authorities when the time comes for me to eliminate the old bastard who stole my life. If Vanko's calculations are correct, it should take the cops roughly forty minutes to swarm the joint given our location on the outskirts of the city. Amar and Vanko have sworn to me that everything is in order and that all I have to worry about is playing my part by acting like I am drugged and I have no recognition of the man I'm ab
