It starts off with a beef, a slap to his face. He knows what he wants, he’d get what he wants and what he wants is her.

Yet she accepted to be his false girlfriend and somehow forgets to draw the line between her acts and her true emotions for him. Orion however is hellbent on claiming what is his.

Where it all began

Paloma~ Everyone who knew me, knew that I had a strange dislike for men, 'Manly Pal' they called me for most of my life and it kind of stuck, Granted I was definitely not a lesbian, I had the same girlish fantasies but in reality I did know that men sucked, Like our former mailman Mr Dan who seemed nice and all until I turned sixteen. "Wanna Have some fun?" He'd asked me out of the blue one day while on his rounds. "What kind of fun?" I'd asked quizzically. His hands moved slowly to his rather engorged crotch and he winked at me. "Are you alright, Mr Dan?" I asked naively. "Come on don't be like that.” He groaned and squeezed his crotch. “Such a bloody tease you are, I can show you a good time you know.” He made an attempt to grab me and my years of self defense classes automatically kicked in, I shived my foot up his crotch and restrained him before calling the cops, Mr Dan was 43 when he was sentenced to 25 years for molestation and rape because apparently he'd done the...

We meet again
Paloma~ I guess not every interest I had in Douchebag McMatthews went out the window, because I googled him the second I was alone within the confines of the apartment and by God did he have one hell of a smile and eight pacs, what freakish exercises gave him that, he was hot and also stinking rich, heck his father owned Capricorn, one the biggest leading pharmaceuticals in the United States. I was delusional to think that he didn't stand a chance with me, when all along the roles had been reversed, not with my constantly matted black hair and dirty brown eyes, my full curvy body didn't make me any better, he probably had models at his beck and call. I was just another fresher with a Mom who took more pills than was good for her and he was a hot second year football Jock with an outstanding grade point average and everything he could possibly want, I didn't need anyone to tell me my place. Besides I had other things to worry about, Mom was at Rehab again and if I didn't want to

Run away mum
Paloma~The letters had started coming in two years ago and had not stopped ever since, you had to hand it to him though, douchebag and life wrecker extraordinaire did not seem to be enough for his resumé, I often wondered what harm he'd want to cause this time after abandonment for the past seven years, there was not much he could do that could probably cause me pain, not that he was getting a chance to try though."Burn it." I tell Sal over the phone, "shred it, do what ever you want with it, just make sure it's destroyed!""Oma." he calls softly to me "you should at least try-""No!" I say cutting him off "I have a lot of shit going on Sal and I am grateful for your advice but no, destroy the fucking letter Sal.""You can't run from this forever Oma." he says. "No matter what, you can't run from this.""Watch me." I tell him "I am his daughter afterall, goodbye Sal."I put an end to the call before he could make anymore convincing statements, I had my problems of my own, problems t

A test of emotions
Paloma WilliamsA strange silence hung between us, I waited for the punchline with bated breath, what did he mean by gone, could she be-"They said she escaped the facility and hasn't been seen ever since." Sal interrupts my train of thoughts. "We are putting up a search party to go look for her but I just-, I just wanted to let you know.""Sal" I say exhaling. "Do you want me back home?, Is there anything I can do?""No." he says and I can hear his voice breaking. "You've worked too hard to leave here, I cannot drag you back here, Just let me know if she contacts you.""I will"l." I say. "She'll turn up Sal."It was hard for me to break like he did, harder for me to panic and fall apart because I knew her, she'd probably run off with a stash of cash that she'd stolen from us or a random stranger, she'd be hitting her spots getting high and being happy at our expense, I'd learnt a long time ago not to give her the satisfaction of manipulating my feelings. She didn't get to break me."S

Runaway mummy
Paloma Williams. "I love you," mom had told me when I was six. "And because I love you, our love will never let us be apart."I'd held on to those words, those few glimpses of happiness that I'd gotten from what was otherwise a trying childhood, a time before he'd upped and left, before she had decided to sacrifice me for her pills and before I had decided to devote myself with the faintest of hopes that she might one remember how much she cared for me. Those moments had faded away, nothing more than a disillusioned memory of a wonky child and as The detective's questions came, I found myself wondering if it could have happened differently."Paloma Williams,” detective Jim Burnes calls in his strong voice. "I assure you we'll find your mother, thank you for your co-operation."In that moment, Sal burst through the door, it had been quite a few hours since I'd informed him about my mother's call and he looked like he'd driven all the way here."Sal." I say eyeing his haggard look once

His story
Paloma WilliamsA strange sort of silence hung between us save for the heavy blaring of loud music blasting from the radio, his fingers gripped the steering wheel tightly only releasing to tap to the beat which I found slightly irritated, as it only has seemed to aggravate the tension."You said we would talk." I say finally breaking the thick tension between us. "So talk." "Hmm." He grunted and his hands gripped the steering wheel even tighter. "Say something." I demand. "Or you can drop me off.""No." He said begrudgingly. "I offered a ride, I'm not leaving you stranded in the middle of nowhere.""Then talk to me." I say exparsated. "I don't need this gruff and silent shit, I have plenty of my own crap to figure out.""Something's are better left unsaid." He said simply. "There are things you can't know, not yet.""And yet here I am!" I groan annoyed. "In a car with you going to see my druggie fucked up mother, your fucking crap must be ten times worse I'm sure."If he was affect

Sal and Mum
Paloma~Little things form the biggest memories and leave the biggest scars, things that will never leave us, never truly heal, never truly forgotten. Seeing my mom was one of those moments, everything threatened to burst, my hands clutched tightly around Sal's as the sobs threatened to escape me.She'd changed much since I'd last saw her, thinner, older and weathered with stress, she seemed but a hollow shell devoured from within, barely held together by fragments of life."Mom." I say in a soft tone, trying very hard to hide my disheartenment. "Mom."She stares at me but her glazed over look seems to go right through me. "Come Paloma." She says like a well memorized anthem. "Come give your mother a hug."My feet remain rooted to the ground even as Sal nudges me forward, with each step it feels like I'm accepting a reality that I want no part of.'No' my mind chants, "no no no".With each step my mind and my body rejected the phenomenon that stood before me, simply refused to accept

Let’s Play Pretend
Paloma~The silence and heavy set tension could be cleaved in two with a big knife. I felt the sting of it more than anyone and I hoped for the sake of my fractured dignity it remained that nonsense didn't spew out from her."Can believe Sal?" She says.I guess it was too much to ask for, I shook silently praying for her to swallow the insanity that seemed to pour from her fractured thinking. "Shoulda known the motherfucker was up to something." She continues. "The bugger must be creeping up all over the place."I'd forgotten just how much she infuriated me and in a the short while that we'd spent together, she'd managed to remind me of just how much I couldn't stand her. "Yh." I say. "He must have gotten all the best views of your gutter stained panties when he was hauling your drunk ass home, because that's just the kind of man Sal is.""Yeah." She says completely oblivious of my comments. "We should have him reported.""For what?" I say louder. "Cleaning up your fucking mess all t

Tossed Around
Paloma~It's alway weird when the girl in high school who was popular because she was hot and because every boy had seen her ass as a rite of passage called the young prissy virgin (which was me, I'm the young prissy virgin) a slut.Well that was what Elena Furbray called me for the entirety of high school and I did pride myself that I wasn't a suck-up like her, who clung to boys and their dicks. But it turns out that there might be a bit of slutty-ness in me. There was nothing else to quantify myself as I melted like putty to his kisses. I'm ashamed to say that if he hadn't stopped of his own accord I wouldn't have either. We said nothing apart from that didn't think we needed to as we fell back to sleep.I had gotten quite used to the warmth he provided when we slept, it was another shame I'd like to forget, I wanted to remember the beast who'd broken that girl's heart all over the sidewalk, but with the helpful, suspiciously silent guy next to me, the memories refused to rise to th

Play Pretend
Paloma~The faint knock on the apartment door had me tingling with something I didn't dare admit to myself. It seemed kind of ridiculous for me to pace about amd yet it was the only thing keeping me sane.My hopes were dashed once again, twice it should have been him and twice it wasn't. I send the pizza guy away with a rather meagre tip even though it was clearly not his fault that Orion was a no-show. Hours seemed to pass by perceptively but the clock said he was only minutes late. Each moment sort of taunted me and under the lush and beautiful girl in the black lush dress, a sliver of my old self stared back in astonishment.The long wait finally won over any sort of niceties and excitement I'd dreamed up, it'd been foolish of me to believe that he'd-The sound of a light faint knock had whatever thought that I had wrenched out of me, my feet quickened as I opened the door.There he was, rocking off the casual look with faint illumination of the moon echoing away in his eyes, eyes
