“Dad doesn’t know you’re alive.” I say to her as I look up to her face.
She tries to speak but no words come out.
“Exactly, a liar then and a liar now.” I say to her and she flinches, as if my words physically assaulted her.
.............
Well, good. I want her to hurt as much as I am hurting now.
“What do you mean by a liar then?” She asks, wiping a stray tear that runs down her face.
I raise an eyebrow, silently asking her if she really wants me to go there.
“You know what? Forget about it, I’m leaving.” She says as she puts her handbag on her shoulders and stand.
“Quincy, you better not bring her up, I’m warning you.” He says and he walks towards me, expecting to see one of my friends or to say the least, nobody.But he stops in his tracks when his eyes land on his dead wife.“No, no, no.” He says to himself over and over.“This can’t happen to me too. I can’t lose my mind!” He says loudly and I want to say something but I don’t know exactly what to...................My father right now is incredibly antsy as he paces around the living room. He refuses to look at my mother and I am afraid to say anything.“Sam..” My mother stands and walks close to him.He halts his actions an
“Quincy?” My dad asks as he scoops up chocolate ice cream out of the small bucket.“Mmmhmm” I say, my mouth full of ice cream.“Today is a school day, why didn’t you go to school?” He asks me and I almost choke on my ice cream............“Umm.” I say, thinking on what to say.I should have gone to sleep but after my argument with my dad last night, I fell asleep and slept for so long, not taking notice of the time.“I overslept.” I say to him and he makes a face. Well, he don’t look like he’s going to kill me so I’m safe I guess.“It’s alright, I understand champ.”
“You like games, I see.” The person says and then fires his weapon.The sound of the gun going off shakes my entire core and I fall to ground.“Give me the phone, Quincy. This time, no one can save you from my wrath.” He says................It’s dark, why is it so dark?I think my eyes are closed.I open my eyes and I can hear a ringing in my ears, it’s torture.I look around the room and everything goes blurry and then clear again. What’s happening?Suddenly an excruciating pain grabs my lower thigh and I can’t help but yell. The pain spreads to my entire leg and I instinctiv
“Help!” I yell out loud, hoping that maybe one of the neighbors would hear me and come to my rescue.“Help!” He yells too and then laughs. “That’s the thing, Quincy. I too can play the yelling game. No one can hear anything coming from in here.”“No one can save you.” He says eerily and then pulls out his gun. “Now, let’s play us some games.”..................“What do you want?” I ask him as he gets closer to me.“Don’t you get it yet?” His voice is chilly. “I want you dead!” He smiles sadistically.This man is sick.“What did I ever do to you, man?” I ask him and
He then proceeds to walk towards the door and opens it. I suddenly see him raise his hand up as if he’s being held at gun point.“Jane, what the hell are you doing?” I hear him say.I soon see my mom enter with a small pistol in her hand, directing it at Daniel’s bald head..............“I told you, Daniel.” She says. “I told you not to come near them.” She closes the front door with her leg.“No more Danny? Aww.” He fake-sobs. “I’m not playing with you.” My mother says.“I’m not either. Imagine what our daughter would say when she gets to know that her mom killed her dear old
My dad tries to lift me and it’s like my body comes alive fully. Pain spreads from my leg throughout my entire body, and I begin to convulse.“Oh crap.” My dad says as he releases me on the blood covered floor. He turns me on my side and dials 911.“911, what’s your emergency?” Is the last thing I hear before I black out...............A steady beeping noise sounds in my ears as I open my eyes slowly. The room is blurred but soon begins to become clear.Everything looks strange and unnatural and I begin to panic instantly.“Hey, hey. You’re alright, just breathe.” I hear a voice and I turn to it and I see Davina.
The door of the room makes a small creaking noise and someone enters. No, it’s actually two persons.It’s my mom and Daniel Sims.“Hello, old sport.” Daniel says and I can feel my emotions go crazy.“Miss me?” He says and his smirk causes my dad to snap...............“You son of a..” My dad says loudly but I stop him.“Dad.” My voice comes out stronger than expect.“Quincy, you stay out of this! This bastard is the reason you’re in here!” My dad walks over to Daniel and punches him straight in the nose, causing him to fall back.“Dad!” I say loudly, and a sha
They both are wearing masks and their uniforms don’t have tags.“Is everything alright?” I ask, I want to know if I’m okay.I suddenly feel a jerk in my body and I begin to convulse again. My mind becomes blank and I can feel myself losing consciousness. ............It’s dark and it’s cold.Where am I and why is it so cold?“Quincy?” I hear a subtle voice and my eyes flutter open.It’s Davina, she’s here. She has her hair held in a bun and her eyes look so pretty.“I’m glad you’re awake.” She
“No, I wear Gucci cologne.” I say and he looks at me with mild disgust.He must really not like Gucci.He takes a step closer to me and then he does something that takes me by complete surprise.............What is this man doing?He puts his nose to my arm and sniffs loudly. Then he says to himself, “You’re not wearing FANTASY’s deodorant either.” I take a few steps back, and I look at him, feeling the awkwardness.“I’m not.” I say slowly as I eye him.“Interesting...I will be downstairs, it was nice meeting you, Quincy.” He says with a small smil
“Whoa...you have got to be kidding me.” Iris says and I ask her, “What? What?”“Look over there.” She points to a white round middle aged man on the check-in line.“Yeah, who am I looking at?” I ask her and she says, “That’s Benjamin, Davina’s father.”...............What? “I thought he should be in France already.” I say and Iris replies, “Yeah, that’s what I thought too.”“I’m going to go talk to him.” She says as she stands, but I hold her hand.“Not now.” I say and she stares at me for a second, and s
“No.” I say, and he says, “Yeah, that’s what I thought.”“Don’t make me wipe that smirk from that face of yours.” I say, at the verge of snapping.“Please do.” He says, and I do something that I never thought I would do again in my entire life. ..............I simply do nothing, knowing that I don’t need to hit this guy. Hitting him won’t change a thing, so why do it?“I’m waiting, Quincy.” He says as he stares at my fist.“You’re not worth it.” I say and then I walk up to the little girl.“Hey, hey.” I say to her an
“What are you doing?” I ask her lowly. Davina’s father laughs deeply. “I’m sorry, but I won’t allow that.” He says confidently. “You see, Iris...I own you.” .......... Iris scoffs, and the call ends. “Iris...you don’t have to quit for my sake.” I say to her. “Oh, I’m not. I’m quitting because if they were comfortable with using you like a toy, then they obviously must have strings on me like a puppet already.” She responds to me. “I’m not going to live my life for these people.” “So are you still going to France, the city of love?” I ask
“No, sir.” I say respectfully.“But I’m confused here, what do you mean?” I ask.“Truly, I thought you weren’t this dumb...Quincy, you’re fired. You’re no longer the CEO for FANTASY.” ............“But..but..” I stutter and Davina’s father laughs.“But..but..what?” He asks rudely.“You actually thought I would have allowed my daughter to make someone as incompetent as you the CEO of FANTASY?”“Do you know how much money that company pulls in? You honestly thought I would let you mess it all up?” His voice is full of venom.
I pick up my speed as I drive on the small narrow road that is lighted by light poles and surrounded by thick trees.This road is a shortcut, and I took it because I want to get home as soon as possible.“Boo!” I suddenly hear the voice yell in my ear and I lose control of the steering wheel, causing the car to make a sharp turn that leads me straight into a tree...............The impact is loud and it causes the airbag to fly out. The car starts beeping loudly and I groan in pain.The front of the car is smashed into the tree. Scared, I frantically try to exit the vehicle.For a second, the door seems jammed, but I continue to struggle to open it. It finally gives way and the door opens.
When we are alone, Davina stands and walks close to me.“So what do you want to talk about?” I ask her and she replies in a low tone, “Who said anything about talking?”She closes the distance between us and she kisses me...............For a fraction of a second, I get lost in the kiss, and I return it. But then my senses return.I pull away and I watch her the lust stir in her eyes.“What are you doing?” I ask, my own tone a little bit huskier.She runs her hand through her hair and I watch her keenly as a tear escapes her eye.“Are you okay?” I ask her and she replies loudly
What or rather who I see causes my head to spin.I see Kate, she’s watching me keenly. Her eyes are cold and her skin looks wrinkled.She’s smiling widely, but her lips are without color. They’re purple and dead..............I can feel my blood rushing through my body. It’s like an out of body experience.I blink a few times to see whether she disappears, but it doesn’t work. She’s still in the backseat, staring at me via the rear view mirror.A loud truck horn snaps me out my trance and I press on the gas instinctively. The red light on the traffic light is already green, and all the cars that were in-front of me has driven away.
I pick it up and I see that I have a new text message. It’s from Jimmy, I remember saving his number when we were at The Lounge.I open the text and it only has three words.It reads:“Quincy, she’s gone.” ............My heart races as my mind conjures explanations for me. Who is he talking about?Is his wife dead?Oh gosh, no. I click on his number and it begins to ring. Expecting him to answer, I begin to find something to wear so I can go over to him; but he doesn’t.I try about three more times, but to no avail. The only person I could call right now and get information from would be Iris
