It's Fine, I am Fine! Chapter 37
Lena Two weeks had passed since getting out of the hospital and honestly, I felt way better. My body was healing faster than it should. And most importantly, I decided to deal with my past instead of swiping everything under the rug, because that was the source of my every trauma and that wound must close at some point, I couldn’t live in quilt any longer. I just came back from my third therapy session and even though I was totally against that and thought that I needed no stranger to learn about my life nor help me in any way, I was happy to be wrong. It was time to put my life in order. My therapist, she is the most patient and understanding person I have ever known, besides Max. She didn’t make me feel uncomfortable and she didn’t rush things. For the first time in my life, I felt proud of myself, somehow stronger and I hoped that it wasn't just an illusion. That pessimistic idea at the end of my every thought must stop, that was something my therapist insisted on and I

Max "Νο" I sighed. "Yes!" she exclaimed. "No" I laughed. "Yes!" she chuckled. "We can do this all day..." I gave up. "They are your parents; we can't just hide it" "We won’t hide it, babe, we just won't invite them" "At least they should know that we are getting married tomorrow, Max" "They know that we are getting married, Lena. They just don't know when, why is it so important to you anyway? Don't you remember what my mother did to you?" "She used that officer to investigate me some more and generally she doesn't like me, but she didn't murder me" she smiled. "Babe, don't let Karen off the hook so easily. She intervened in a police investigation and tried foolishly to frame you; she must be kept away. I don't want her at our wedding or in my life in general. I never really had her anyway, so I don't miss out on anything" "Alright, alright..." she softly whispered and kissed my lips. I couldn't help and let myself get a little carried away. I bit her lower lip and she moa

Max I don't think that I have ever laughed harder than I did today. I was sitting on the couch, watching Lena trying to get dressed, enjoying the show. Jake got so excited, while Lena was getting ready for our wedding. Somehow, he thought that it was playtime. He grabbed her dress with his mouth and ran up and down the apartment for like an hour. Lena, almost naked, chased him while laughing, as wagged his tail proudly like he did something great. After she finally put her dress on and tried to fix her hair and make-up, he jumped so many times to lick her face and made her laugh even more. My dog had a weird obsession with her for sure and I couldn't blame him. She came down the stairs, wearing a black summer dress and black sandals, so simple and yet so beautiful. She had her straight hair falling loosely on her shoulders and had only a soft red lipstick on her lips. I would devour those lips later. I sighed at the sight of her. Fuck, she was so damn beautiful. "I like that gr

Lena I huffed and puffed on the run on the top of the hill, whilst my boys run and jumped like freaking soldiers on a mission. I was barely keeping up, but Max helped me all the way. A timid summer breeze cooled my flashed face and the sun would soon set. This short hike, had an amazing view to offer at the end, it worth the sweat. We gazed upon the pine tree tops, the small rived passing through them, the colorful fields all around, the rocky mountain ahead and the amazing orange sky with the whitest clouds lazily setting the most beautiful picture. I felt like I could write the sweetest poem, the view was very inspiring. I always loved nature, but what made it breathtaking was when Max put me in his arms and we stayed there in blissful silence, as we enjoyed what was unfolding in front of us, while Jake never stopped smelling around. “How many mountains have you climbed?” I asked him but yet it wasn’t a question, I already knew that he walked a lot of uphill. “If you lik

Lena Max was packing our things into the car. Our three-day honeymoon was over and I wished we could stay a little bit longer. Mostly because it was just the two of us and there was no drama to destroy this profound peace, I felt in his arms and into the little blue tent. Oh, the things he did to me in that tent... As good as it was, we had to go back. Max couldn't take more days off, but he promised he would bring me back one day. Even Jake refused to board the car, he was running around like he had no care in the world. Plus, tomorrow we have scheduled the wedding dinner with his family and friends. When I said family, I meant his sister and brother with their significant others and his father alone. Max was unrevoked. No Karen, period. I didn't mind her, but I wasn't going to try to persuade him otherwise. Honestly, there was nothing I could do to make the situation with Karen better, so I didn't try to do anything. At the bottom line, why fight an already lost battle?

Lena Paul asked the server to add two more sittings to the table and he politely obliged. He set them up between Paul and Chris. Karla didn’t even greet anyone, as she was sitting on her chair. She kept touching her hair with her long red long nails and looked bored as always. Karen on the other hand, sat softly on her chair and crossed her legs, as she pointed her nose up proudly, like she accomplished something. Even though I didn’t like her change of attitude, she kept herself behaved. I thought she would start a fight or complain about something at least minor, but nope, she was being an angel. She stayed there silently at her seat and listened to the rest of our guest chatting. I was relieved and somehow happy, considering that I wanted her in her son's life, she was his mother. Funny that I was quick to let her off the hook when I couldn’t do the same with my own mother. We kept chatting, laughing, and sharing stories, as it was excepted. "And we were dancing at this c

Max I had this unusual feeling that I couldn’t shake off since morning. We were getting dressed for the party at my parents’ house and I felt nervous, and I couldn’t understand why. I knew that Karen would screw this up in one way or another, the how wasn’t important, so feeling this way made no sense. We dressed up for the occasion, it was a formal event that Karen was in charge. We matched our outfit without planning it, as she wore her nice black knee-high dress and her heels and I wore a black suit, minus the jacket. We arrived at my parents' house at 20:00 and all most of the guests were already there. My Karen quickly welcomed us at the front door, wearing a very expensive blue dress and she had her pearls around her neck. She smiled politely and hugged Lena, as she softly kissed my cheek without the affection, someone would expect. I felt good with that as she just simply smiled at me. Lena might be softer with her, but I still couldn't. "You look so beautiful, dear," m
It's Fine, I am Fine! Chapter 44
Lena Once I reached the final step of the stairs, Max rushed close to me and yelled, not to me but definitely around him "We are leaving, now!", as he grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me towards the main entrance door. "What is wrong, son?" Karen raised her voice in concern. She got no answer. He quickly put me in the car, without saying goodbye to anyone and practically drove like crazy through the driveway and out of the house in seconds it seemed. The wheels even spined during his effort. He was very angry, very, very angry, I haven’t ever seen him like this. After five minutes of just driving in silence, I dared asked him "What happened?" "Karen happened!" he raised his voice; he wasn’t yet calm. "What did she do?" I tried to stay calm for the both of us. "She invited her!" He kept the same tone. "Christina?" "Who else, babe?" "Why were you chasing each other?" "What?" he snapped and looked at me for a second and then turn his eyes on the road again. At least h

It's Fine, I am Fine! The End
Lena I sighed with frustration once I saw my car behind the wired fence of the police pound yard. We came early to pick it up, since it got confiscated by the police the night, I drunk my sorrows away. It’s been two weeks since that awful day and I already avoided this matter for long enough. It had to be down today. “We are going to sell, right?” Max asked yet it wasn’t a question, as he knew me too well. “It’s like one mind” I smiled at him. I didn’t want to drive it any more. I didn’t even want to be inside it. All I had was awful memories out of it. It was time. “We’ll drive to the yard to sell it today” he grabbed me by my hand and we walked to get it back. “Does it worth anything really?” “Not much, but it’s better than to have it hanging around for no reason” “I don’t care, I want to get rid of it” I squeezed his hand. We went straight to the used car dealership and it was gone, not for much but I didn’t care. I didn’t even take a last look at

Max Once outside, I gave her a firmly warning "Don't you dare walk away" without even turning to face her "The car is over there" I added in the same way. She followed without protesting, as I heard her dragging her feet behind me. We entered the car and I quickly drove away the moment she closed the door. I didn't even wait to put her seat belt on, I was so angry and tired. I pressed my lips together, to stop myself from cursing all forces of nature, as we enjoyed this awkward silence that could easily kill us both. With a quick look, I saw her looking out the window and having her arms crossed in front of her. Her jeans were slightly ripped on the left side and her sweater was a bit dirty and she had a few scratches on her hand. I slowed down with the gas, as I was calmer, just with the thought she was safe here with me. So many questions filled my angry mind, as we were going through the calm before the storm. "I want a divorce" she breathed and I froze in place. A div

Lena My widened eyes stayed on her for a second, thanking her silently for this selfless act that would shock me until the day I die. I have never experienced such deep connection with my mother until this day. With that stare I felt love, even though we said nothing. I closed the door and pushed myself in the front seat. I put my keys in the ignition and turned to look at her one more time. She was leaning close to the passenger seat window, as she wiped a tear off her eyes and pressed her lips together. "You'll never, ever, see me again," she whimpered. Her voice was focused and she made extra effort to stop her tears like she was making the statement of the century. As lovely as it was, I preferred to cut my arm off, instead of seeing her ever again! I didn't know how to react, she got me fooled too many times. I was just staring at her, battling between run away or give her one last hug. Was she concerned over me or it was just another rouse? "Go back and live your life. I'

Max My eyes laid on Christina’s calm face with great surprise. Firstly, because I thought she left with Karen and secondly, I have never seen her wearing a simple loose athletic outfit that’s not super tight on her. "Why are you here, Chris? And especially now?" "Because your mother called and said there was something wrong with you” “And the first person she thought to call at this hour it was you, smart” I scoffed. “I came here to check on you. You know I care for you, Max" "Why the hell did she call you? You shouldn't have come and you shouldn't care. I'm fine. Just leave" I firmly said, showing her the way out with my hand. "No. I would rather stay here and talk about what's wrong. Where is your... wife?" I snorted. Shit, she was enjoying my pain, wasn't she? Where was Lena, it was an excellent question. I didn't know if I should be worried or angry at her. At least she could leave me a simple note or something, Fuck you, bye. At least! But she didn't leave a note f

Lena I stopped the car in front of this very sketchy bar. It seemed dirty, as every bar in this city that wasn’t downtown. I sighed, as I didn't expect anything better. Vanessa’s boyfriend was waiting for us outside and waved to her the moment we parked. He was tall and seemed very strong despite his weight. He was bald but had a huge beard. His tattoo above his right eye seemed painful and it was like a tiger or something, I couldn't see clearly. Both of his knuckles were fully tattooed and even though I liked tattoos a lot, I didn’t like what I was looking at. He opened the door and sat on the back seat, like we knew each other for years and we were about to have a fun ride. He had a very confident attitude. A heavy smell of marijuana filled my car and I felt like throwing up. I hated the smell, as it reminded my childhood. "Hello, baby" Vanessa greeted him with the greatest joy, like he was the most important thing for her, as he just simply nodded at her with a half-smile
It's Fine, I am Fine! Chapter 45
Lena My heart was racing as I quickly put on a pair of tight black jeans and a black thin sweater. I crossed my bag over my shoulder and then stormed out, to find Vanessa, hoping for the best. I couldn't let come closer to Max's parents. I was embarrassed enough already to look them in the eye, after they found out about Oliver, how could I let them meet Vanessa? She would probably ask them for money, so I would let her ask me instead. I would give her all my savings and then she would leave. I hoped. I parked near that coffee shop and walked angrily towards it. My heart was pounding, as I felt anxious, fear and disgust. I would meet the woman who was laughing, while her son was dying. The woman who never help us when we needed her the most and then disappeared like she never had children. I noticed her from afar seating on a table outside the shop. I would recognize her anywhere, despite how many years had passed. It was chilly outside and I was thankful for the sweater I w
