Yelling echoed throughout the room as I searched the room for where it was coming from at this ungodly hour. The crack of dawn was nearly here and someone was ready to cause a fight with there one sided terror yelling.And there he was standing in the middle of the room yelling into a phone, like his life depended on it."WHAT IS TAKING THEM SO LONG?", he screamed as I felt the need to walk away and shut my ears. He didn't want me to hear this, maybe this would unravel the secret he's been hiding all this time. We said no secrets, he made me promise no secrets and yet here he was playing me like a fox."FIND THEM OR ELSE ALL OF YOUR JOBS WILL BE GONE", he screamed yet again as I heard him echo throughout the room. He ended the call as he turned around, direct eye contact with me and he tried so hard to get rid of that guilty flash painted over his face."I'm so sorry, I woke you up", he said changing the subject of the matter that he was just threatening peoples jobs and hiding so
"I'm sorry I'm tired and I can't think straight and I can't tell you I can't just trust me I love you and I trust you", he spoke as I re-examined his red bloodshot eyes and helped him to bed. He soundly went to sleep with me cuddling next to him. He had acted unreasonable and this secret he had, sounded big but I trusted him enough knowing that it had nothing to do with me.A doorbell sounded from the door as I nudged Nolan trying to get up and when I saw the time I realized I was late."I was going to have dinner with some friends, I should let you sleep", I added as he stuck a shirt on and came outside of the door as I rushed to slip on a dress.Nolan's POVShe dragged me out of bed without a word, I was curious to wonder how the girl who had been closed off and wouldn't let a single soul help her was now making friends with everyone who passed her. There they were the men, and I knew as I saw Natalie peeking from the side she expected me to say hello."I'm Nolan nice to meet y
I slipped into my seat of a plane as the pilot who had flown us here looked for Nolan. Distress was wiped all over my face."Mrs, is Mr. Clementé not joining us tonight?", he asked me seeing my teary eyes. I couldn't believe where I was, I was running again. I ran every time, every moment it got to close and I never thought I'd be running from him."No, he had some business to take care of, he's very busy", I looked out the window as he went back to the pilots chamber and there I was alone. The phone rang again, and again and each time I checked it was him, using my phone. I shut the phone off as the ring on my finger snapped against my dress and I knew that he knew more than I did or someone did. I called the one person who could cave and tell me what I needed to hear."Tyler I know. And I need you to tell me, everything where were they last seen, where was her last foster home, have they raided the house yet, and why did Nolan find out and not tell me", my annoyance turned into c
"We have a child together, is that not amazing, Lorelai", he said as my stomach regurgitated. His voice dipped in and out of a high to a low frequency. His words went up and down just like his attitude."What is happening dad, look at me I'm not mom, she's dead, she died years ago", I tried to get him to realize the big difference, between me and her. He wouldn't see it."These games Lorelai, where are these filthy ideas coming from?", he said as I shuddered my face away from his peering eyes."Don't you understand mom is dead, you're sick", I spat at him. His voice was cold and he quickly began searching in the back for something. He seemed frantic as he pulled the car over to the side."DID YOU TAKE IT, GIVE IT THE HELLBACK, YOU BITCH", he yelled as he went to the back seat and started cussing me out percussively. He tossed the seats up and the blankets that scattered the back seat and just as I saw what he held in his hand, how he admired it so much, I realized why he was lik
"Let me go", I demanded as he tended to my wounds. The one he had given me, as I tried running out of the woods, with Melody by my side. She made it, and as I prayed to whomever was above I prayed for Nolan to save her. He was her last hope to family, but she didn't trust easily, I remember the moment I saw her face, she was scared and afraid.In Daniel's twisted mind he "loved" me and this was nothing like love. He was out of his mind, and going insane and he knew it. After he had tracked me down as I dragged my hit ankle trying to exit the forest, he took away my things. My gun was now in his possession and my phone was smashed to smithereens, back at the forest."Now why would I do that?", he looked up to my eyes as he bandaged my wound, he wrapped it ever so carefully. He didn't seem to understand that he had caused this. He was sick I reminded myself, not wanting to be caught off guard by his switching attitude."I'll drop the charges, I'll do anything please, just let me go",
A feeling of dirtiness and uncleanliness washed over me, something just a shower wouldn't get rid of. My mind and my eyes had seen, heard and experienced too much, and it was such a recurring nightmare in my head, especially since it happened in the very same room that I sleep in.Nolan would be able to see the filth that lingered on me, he would be able to sense the feeling that in his eyes and mine I would never be beautiful again.I had saved myself for so many years, but never for someone else, but for me. It was a choice I had made, because I wanted to feel the magic, the sparks, the flames and with Nolan I felt it all and so much more.Blood had been dried on the rocky soil that was inside the room with me, and the cold textured area almost made me freeze. I knew where the blood had came from, and as I lied there only covered by a blanket, I reached down and swiped my hand softly against my agitated vagina, and I brought it back seeing the blood still dripping.Nolan would n
I closed my eyes for a second, a momentous second and as I opened my eyes I wished that was my last blink. The truck was driving towards the cottage and the man next to me smiled as he looked over my body."What- what are we doing back here? No-no don't bring me back here", I yelled at him as I clawed at his skin, hoping he wouldn't leave me here alone. The truck stopped in front and a worried Daniel came out of the door, that is after he saw me he was relieved."You never told me she was so beautiful and she looks so young for being 43, she looks as old as my daughter who just finished college, I mean your wife is hysterical but hot", their voices muffled as I tried clawing myself out of the truck, knowing they would catch me if I did, I had myself and that was it and no one was coming to save me. I would do every single thing I could to get out of this hell-hole. And that's when I felt the breeze from the car window."She's just having a rough day today, she was exhausted from la
"Now, now, lay the rocks sharpest from dullest and keep your eyes open, or this just may be you next", he said cautiously to John, like a scary presenter at a circus full of mischief and secrecy. Daniel's arms stroked my arm and he leaned into my hair and sniffed it. I moved my head away as fast as I could, and he walked away. My hands were still handcuffed to the cabinets as I pictured Nolan rushing in and saving me. I based my life off of trying not to depend on someone else, but at this moment I missed him, and if I ever saw him again could I let him fix the parts of my life Daniel had ruined?Daniel unhooked the handcuffs from me and I turned my head as I saw John with a newly wounded black eye. He was handcuffed to the chair and his ankle was now covered by the blanket, but his were chained to the floor."Now Lorelai, so many times I've told you that you love me so much, you're just blinded by this rebellious attitude of yours", he pushed my head against his knee and he pushed
3 years later I jumped out of my seat, rushing to turn in my 1,000 word essay written in the span of three hours. I slipped it on the professor's desk and held onto my pair of books, rushing out of the school's doors. People rushed and sprinted past me, as I looked down the street for my red ride. Like a proper man Dallas was, he was leaning against the car, reading. It was the last string of our junior classes before we went on a much needed and deserved spring break trip. Dallas and I had been looking forward to spring break, ever since we had planned it. Davina and I had planned a trip, with some of our other friends. Each couple was all going to head down to Greece for the remainder of the week. We both needed a break massively, especially some alone time with just the two of us would be good. I needed just time basking in his gaze and the suns. It sounded heavenly. Especially because Dallas and I were going to drive down to home for two days, right before the trip. I needed to
"Melody Clemente". My principal dearly said as I walked across the stage and shook his hand, I beamed at the person next to him and instead of the handshake that normally would have been given. He hugged me, Nolan had been something of a father figure the past few years. He loved my sister like she was the whole solar system, and he loved me too. He saw me as his own flesh and blood, he cared so much. "I'm so proud of you". He said, his eyes glistening as I opened my own eyes. He held his breath, as he kissed my cheek and I walked across the stage. I smiled as I walked down the stage and took a seat. The hundred roll call of students I had become frequented with passed by, my heart smiling as my friends passed by. The people I had learned to love, to cherish. As soon as it was over, I ran to my family. Each with hugs and bouquets of flowers, each and every single one of them had shown up. Avery had come as well as Caroline and Alison too, and Leah as well, and Vi and her had been t
One year Later Tomorrow was a big day. The end of a chapter and the beginning of a new one, filled with adventures, sadness, and joy. But most importantly that independent feeling of searching for yourself amongst the other millions let out to the world. And it was amusing, satisfying and uplifting to know I was able to take this journey on with my best friend. "Mel". Natalie knocked on the door, then opened it. And as she stared at me in the exceptional white dress I had picked, tears watered down her face. I was going to be let out on my own, no longer hers. But the world's in a way. "You look beautiful". She gushed, my cheeks blushing a maddening red. She wiped the tears from her cheeks as I turned to face the mirror, my own reflection beaming back at me. "Tomorrow's a big day, huh?" She said, her voice rising and soft from the tears. She understood it, the feeling of saying goodbye, letting go. "What if I'm not ready?" I asked her, my voice stumbling on the next words to come
She was smiling, the brightest I had ever seen her smile. As she was surrounded with people who loved her. She was happy, to have freedom, to not feel trapped on a hospital floor.It had been three weeks since we had arrived back, and Dallas and I had thrown her a party. A party for the masses, with her friends from the hospital visiting, even that small sweet boy who she wanted to watch a movie with. She was happy, and healthy and safe and she was responding amazingly to the medicine that she was on.It was weird to say she was okay now, I think even Dallas had no idea what to do with himself. He was completely immersing himself in his new project ever since he's gotten back. Keeping it under the wraps for me I assume, but the mysteries behind him will unveil soon, I'm sure.But I felt at peace, the kinks of our relationship fixed to the most we could try. He and I were like lightning every single day. The most amazing chemistry that lived beneath us.Vi was the
It has been five days, of waiting, of breathing each other's air in the small hospital room we were given. We spent the past five days talking. His mind apologizing for every single misstep he could've made. But the issues lied there, he needed help. He needed help more than anyone else here, signally defined by the fact that he wanted to believe that he didn't have anyone. That he was all alone.That he didn't have a system supporting him, a system looking out for him.I wanted to carry his weight, take on his pain, but he carried so much that it was already a part of him. I don't think he knew how to part with it when it was all over. And it saddened me more than anything. It saddened me that this was his life, filled with pain of all sorts. He was afraid to have a life without it I think."She'll be awake soon". I said, softly, stroking his hair to the side as he laid on my lap."She's supposed to be awake already". He said, sighing as we both stared at
He left the office with a stab in his heart, as I chased after him. He was angry, upset at every negative choice word I could think of to describe him and he hated me."Dallas. Please". I yelled out at as he turned to look at me. His eyes stone cold in anger towards me, my heart beating madly as he ravaged me with a single look, brushing into the very depths of my eyes."You don't get to follow me, you don't get to say my name. You are taking away the one person I've loved the most. The one person. I need her, and you-you don't get that". His tears strung high, his heart maddened like a lion roaring from the depths of his heart. He looked at me with hatred, something in all of these moments we shared he had never truly hated me, not like this, not like this moment."Just leave". He begged, my feet frozen in their very place. My mind lost into his eyes, the stare of hatred not of love. "Just leave". He begged again, his eyes ready to tear me apart, piece after p
The rush of the wind carried us home, well it tried to survive beneath us but the worry crept in as we loaded the plane. Vi stared longingly at the view before we stepped into the plane. Like she was saying goodbye to her heart as she left. Like her heart was being left here.Dallas had the same expression. He didn't know it, but it was written all over his face, the dread of returning. The dread of resurfacing the reality of our lives.He knew what this meant, this idea that everything was about to be gone, the memories, the truth. I think the reality of this hurt Dallas the most."Leaving is the worst part". Dallas said, his arm wrapping around Vi as she looked up at him. She smiled softly, aware of the situation she was in, aware of the world she was in. Aware of the ending to her story."I'm not getting better". She heaved out, her voice breaking, her heart melting. And I finally saw that she was holding all this in, because she didn't believe it would get th
It's a gawdy feeling. A gawdy feeling as my chest tightened staring out of the home's balcony. We were leaving today. Leaving our escape to a reality filled with nothing close to normalcy and I didn't and wouldn't be able to accept the fact that everyone was waiting for Vi to just give up. She didn't have it in her, she had the fight in her and it was apparent, apparently loud."Thinking of something?" A hand snaked around my waist, as I felt his head rest on my shoulder. I didn't know how his head was straight properly, I didn't know how he wasn't a mess, but whatever was working I hoped it continued for him."Just how- beautiful it is". Lie. An apparent lie. I wasn't a fan of forests. The empty nothing, empty nobody. They were amusing, but not what's in them. That's nothing but amusing."It is beautiful". He agreed. His small form of agreement won me over a million reasons why I should pry through his mind."I gave Vi her breathing treatment, but she's r
My stomach stormed aloud, my heart too as I looked down at Dallas from my bedroom window, there he stood with a bag of food and my work for the week. I had enjoyed the company of my personal mail boy more than I should've. I slid down my ladder out of the window as he smiled."I missed you". He said, pushing his hands around me as I looked over at him and he smiled, he moved his head to the side as I pulled myself against him. My lips locked with his as I breathed in his husky scent, the way the words rolled off his tongue."I missed you too." I said, kicking off the other bag he had brought. He moved it to the side as I heard the thud of my favorite thing, of my absolute favorite thing. He saw my curious look as he opened the bag wider and he moved the bag to the side and I saw books more and more books as I toppled over him, hugging him with everything I had in me."Thank you for keeping me from losing my mind". I said, watching as he looked at me with a proud smile
