Boo
“Hi, Corine. What’s up? I said walking toward the apple orchard to get away from the noise of the crowd gathered at the farmhouse. I rubbed my arms to get rid of the chills and goosebumps, not yet believing I really sang in front of Lu’s family and friends. Grandpa Joe even gave me a thumbs up which made me grin like a school boy getting his first gold star.
“Boo? When are you coming home?” Corine’s voice sounded tired.
“Damn it!” I said out loud as Jasper played a really great song. I could hear the women’s reaction from the entrance to the apple orchard, but couldn’t see them clearly.
“What did you

RUN! April 23 (Close to midnight) Lucille I rubbed my arms as the cold wind blew. Nathan had just left and I could barely see his silhouette anymore. A few more steps and he was going to turn left towards the town and I felt sad knowing I’d probably only see him on TV from now on. I got up from the log and let out a sigh. It's finally over. The credits have rolled and our love story will be like one of the romantic movies I've watched. With a sad ending. Wait. Not sad. It's still happy because somehow both of us will still end up happily with different people. Right. Choose to be happy Lu. I brushed off my shorts and started walking towards t

Frank April 24, 2009 Boo I drove back to the house a little behind Lu's parents. By the time we reached where I saw the man lying face down on the side of the road, two police cars and an ambulance were already there. Elaine and Mike stopped their car and asked what happened. As I got out of my car, the hairs on my skin all stood up as I heard Elaine's shrill cry pierced through the cold air. Mike was holding her up as she fell to the ground. I ran toward them and saw Nathan lying there and bloody. My god, it was Nathan. I ran to the bushes nearby and puked. It was Nathan. What have I done

PSYCHOSApril 25, 2009JasperI opened my eyes, but closed it right back the moment a deadly headache erupted. The excruciating pain in my neck made me wince. I wanted to touch all the throbbing parts of my head and neck when the searing pain that started on my wrists, as I moved my hand, travelled throughout my arms, making me shout in agony. Where am I? Why does everything hurt?“Jasper.” Lucille’s weak voice brought everything back in a flash.The man, the gun, the fight, and waking up in a dark trunk that smelled of spoilt meat and blood. I remember kicking it and p

HELPLESS April 25, 2009 Lucille It sounded like a woman going out of her mind. My eyes flew open and I immediately noticed something was wrong. My heart pounded too hard and too fast. All my senses were heightened. The stench of dried blood and something rotten invaded my nostrils. I remember waking up a few hours ago to the image of Frank with blood oozing out of his fingers while holding his genitals and I gagged. The smell must be coming from Frank’s blood on the floor. I looked at the foot of the bed and saw Corine grinding on top of a man in a sitting position, moaning with her eyes closed. Oh my god. How could they be so vile and ev

FRATELLI April 25, 2009 Boo I closed my eyes to ignore their laughter, high on cocaine, and tried to concentrate on what to do or say to them; the two psychos who found each other and were now living their darkest fantasies through us. The drug they injected us with helped spiked up my adrenaline so much even my hunger pains disappeared and I focused on finding a way to break free. My heart broke for Corine while she told us her darkest secrets, but at the same time, I also wanted to rip all her skin off using a carving knife while she screamed in agony, begging for her life. Oh, Daisy. How could I have been so blind. It all makes sense now. Corine is going to pay in prison for what she

Follow Me April 25, 2009 Jasper I opened the blinds a bit and saw it was dark outside already. Boo cursed out loud when he tried the telephone on his bedside table and found out it was disconnected. Lorenzo and Carlo told us there were only about a dozen of them assigned guarding the mansion. Two were at the end of the hallway and the rest scattered patrolling. “More are coming tonight so we have to get out now.” Carlo said, pacing the room. “Okay. We go first since they don’t know we betrayed them then we’ll signal you to come out. Si?” Lorenzo looked at the three of us, his hands were shaking. “Thank you

Life and Death April 25, 2009 (Close to midnight) Lucille I set foot in the dark foreboding tunnel and immediately grabbed Jasper’s arm. The coldness and dank stale air made it hard to breathe. Boo pointed the flashlight ahead and I swallowed hard seeing the long path with the light only reaching a few meters. The rest was pitch dark and made me think of the movie I am Legend. Like at any moment we would run into zombies lurking in the dark and waiting to bite our necks off. My heart pounded in my ears and I breathed deeply and fast, but no air seemed to reach my lungs. The tight and narrow space, only good for two people widthwise, made me dizzy. I had no choice but to hold on tighter to Jasper and tell him I was scared. He put his arms around me and I almost laughed out loud

Pretty woman April 26, 2009 Boo Last night, I left Lucille unconscious with Steph and ran with Dr. Steward to the viewing area because a nurse had paged him that Jasper was in code blue. A doctor was pushing on his chest and using that thing they used in the movies where they shock your heart. I forgot what it was called, but they used it again and again alternating with the other doctor who did the cpr. "Jas. Please fight! Come on, man. You just came back into my life. Don't leave again, damn it. Don't leave me!" The pain in my knuckles, as I hit the wall, didn't hurt as much as the crushing pain in my chest while I thought of Jasper's life slipping away. Back at the farm

Epilogue Jasper I backed her up against the kitchen wall and held her chin up to look at me. Her ragged breaths told me she wanted me just as badly. I tasted the tint of oranges from her lips and it reminded me of our first kiss. It was six in the morning when I woke up and she wasn't beside me. I found the kids still sleeping in their nursery and figured Lu was probably preparing breakfast. "If you wanna fuck me, do it now before the little cockblockers wake up." "Shhh I'm still admiring your beauty. This is all mine, you hear me?" I said as I let the straps of her nightgown fall off her shoulders. "Yes, boss." L

Epilogue 2011 Boo The early morning snow made everything outside look like a picture on a Christmas card. I've always hated Christmas ever since Daisy died. But now looking at Nora, DJ and Jessie decorating the huge tree in the living room of our new mansion, I realized it was my favorite holiday again. "Daddy! I need you to lift me up so I can put the star. Please?" DJ called me and interrupted my thoughts. The nine foot tree colourfully glowed, making me miss grandpa who always loved Christmas trees. "Ok, baby. Come here." I held her by the waist and hoisted her up. "Boy, you're getting heavy." "Done." DJ beamed. I put her do

Epilogue 2012 Lucille “Jasper! Get your son out of that mud pit right away!” I shouted as little Aspen kept jumping up and down, splashing mud all over his clothes and face. “He won’t listen to me, Lu. He’s the boss!” Jasper tried pulling Aspen but he sat on the ground. “I’ll show you who’s the Boss. Come here you two!” I shouted at them while I ran. “Ahhhh run Aspen, run! Mommy Monster is coming to eat us.” Jasper and Aspen ran toward the mansion and I shouted for them to stop before they brought mud all over the house. But of course I was too late. Mud was all over the floor. After our two months honeymoon, Jasp

Mr and Mrs Lauder June 5, 2009 Lucille They say true love is something that a few people find once in their lifetime. I was one of the lucky ones. As I danced with my gorgeous billionaire husband, who would walk through fire for me, my heart overfilled with joy. I rested my head on his chest and inhaled his intoxicating perfume. The band played Unforgettable by Nat KingCole and Jasper and I held each other close. “I love you so much, Lu.” “I love you so much, Jas. I can’t believe you planned all these without telling me. Or without me finding out.” “It’s easy when

The Photoshoot June 5, 2009 Lucille Jasper and I drove to a beautiful beach house in the Hamptons for the photoshoot. Two days ago, Steph and Jade came with me to the fitting and they said I looked beautiful. I felt beautiful. The dress was every girl’s dream come true. It showed all the right curves and was just the right amount of puffy. The lace work and real diamonds were to die for. “We're here.” Jasper said, parking the car in a big mansion. “Grandfather’s grandfather helped build this with his own hands. “Wow. That’s amazing. It’s beautiful, Jas.” I got out of the car as he opened the door for me. Ever since that bleeding episode, he has been treating

Why?” “Have you ever been in love before?” Nora looked at me and didn’t say anything. I was about to ask her again when she suddenly said, “Yes. To a man way older than me. He was a nurse who voluntered at the orphanage. And one day, the day before I turned sixteen, he raped me. I’ve never trusted any man ever since.” “I’m sorry to hear that. Th

It’s a Sign June 1, 2009 Boo Having finished all my work before lunch, I called Nora to come by and bring some food. I gave her one of the company credit cards to spend on anything she wants. So far the record shows she only used it to buy lingeries and our lunch. My phone rang and I cancelled the call once I saw it was Jasper. I was ashamed of my outburst, but I also wasn't ready to apologize. Lucille left me a long email explaining how much she loves me and cares for me, but only as a friend and as part of the family. She told me to find my own happiness even if it meant it was Nora whom she still didn't trust. If the baby is yours, Boo I promise we will tell him/her the truth. Please don't be mad anymore.

A Good Day May 30, 2009 Lucille Dr. Steward put me on bed rest for two days after I got released from the hospital. Jasper and I thought it was better if we stayed in my apartment for a while to avoid Boo, who had been ignoring our chats and calls. “Honey? You okay, Lulu bear?” Grandpa Joe peeked his head through my bedroom. “Come in pops.” I grinned from ear to ear. “What’s up?” “Oh nothing. I only wanted to talk to you before we left for the airport. I’m happy to see you so happy, Lu. You deserve all the best things in life.” “But grandpa, I’ve hurt Boo so much. I sh

Eleanor May 30, 2009 Boo I called her after I left the hospital in a fit of rage and told her to meet me in the same hotel we were before. The bottle of whiskey was empty by the time she arrived an hour later. Nora looked at me with pity in her eyes and I wanted to laugh. I wanted to cry. I hated the nagging ache that drummed with every heartbeat. I hated Lucille and Jasper. “Are you okay?” “I know everything about you. Why didn’t you just tell me what you needed the money for?” “Coz I don’t want to be somebody’s charity case. I can manage on my own.” “By trying to fuck your w
