Missing

She dreamt of Jarrod. She heard his voice in her head. She could feel his displeasure, his comfort, his hands stroking her hair. One time in her sleep, he held her hand and held it to his face. He said he missed her. However when she woke up, he was gone.

How long had she been down here? A week, a month, a year? She was too drowsy to tell. She didn’t even eat yet, and she hadn’t felt hungry in a while. Whatever it was they were injecting her with, it seemed to deprive her of hunger. Maybe Tessa really was right; she’d probably rot down here and no one would ever know.

Except Samantha.

Samantha would know. Samantha easily gets suspicious at the slightest thing. She probably hadn’t heard from her and was now rallying the whole police force. At least that is what Lolita chose to believe.

“Hey, baby.”

Lolita exhaled sharply as the luminous figure before her materialized. It was delusional to see him here, right before her, but she’d prefer to feed her delusions than live in the

    The Pain of One’s Love“Wake up, baby. You’ve been asleep for a while.”Lolita stirred. As usual, her vision was blurry when she opened her eyes. She was in her dream land again, with Hayden beside her. She’d seen him two times after the first time he showed up. Both times he could only stand and watch. He couldn’t say anything; Tessa was in at the moment injecting Lolita with the suspicious looking fluid. He seemed sad then, almost violent, like he wanted to bash Tessa’s head in and watch her bleed. “Baby,” she whispered to him, forcing herself to smile a bit.“You have cracked lips. Here…”Hayden knelt down beside her and kissed her. She felt something rush down her throat, so hot and scalding that it almost burned her. She gasped and pushed away from him, suddenly alert. He rocked back on his feet and smiled.“Better?”Lolita rigidly rubbed her fist on her chest, trying to soothe the burning sensation she felt there.“Yes, surprisingly better.”Hayden was proud. “I figured you nee

    An Abyss of TerrorHayden strode into the apartment, his hands stuck in his pocket. “What do you have for me?”Mr. Conner was having breakfast. He pushed his plate aside and stood. In the living room, three men huddled close together, speaking to themselves as they bored over suspicious looking tablets in front of them. Hayden glanced at them briefly before looking back at the big man.“Can I call you Burly? It sounds better than using your formal name.”Mr. Conners nodded. “Okay, if you want to. Do you want to sit with me?”Hayden shook his head impatiently. “No. Just throw it at me so I know what I’m dealing with.”“Fine.” Burly crossed his hands. “I can’t find them.”“What do you mean, you can’t find them?”“The people you mentioned earlier. Tessa, Samantha, Lolita.” He looked upwards in thought. “Do I have the names correct? I get so many names everyday and I seem to misplace them.”Hayden thoughtlessly grabbed his collar and yanked him forward. The gesture was so forceful, so aut

    SAMMYSammy was in a really bad place. She was mostly driven by passion and determination, which her father really hated. He thought she was too self absorbed with the events in her life. Sammy would beg to disagree; the things and people in her life needed her touch. Only then would they be able to be fulfilled. She was the messiah for them. She made them feel better, just like she did Tessa.Oh, Tessa.Tessa was the first best friend she’d ever made. Sure, she had lots of friends, but most of them didn’t seem to want her. Tessa was the only one who actually needed her touch in her life. She was in a messy place then, obsessed with a man who would never love her. It took Sammy weeks—almost a month—to drag her out of that dark place. She showed her enough love to smother her, just enough for Tessa to be drawn to her.“He’s trash,” Sammy said to her the first time they talked about Tessa’s obsession. “He’s not worth it. You’re not supposed to fight a man who isn’t worth it to you.”Tes

    HAYDENHe raised Lolita’s arm to his face, inhaling deeply. The infected flesh struck a chord of excitement in his heart. He liked seeing her this way; helpless and needy of his touch. She moaned in her sleep, trying to detach her arm from his grip. She was in too much pain, enough for her to escape into her dreams.He hated it when she tried to run from her problems, seeking solace from her delusions. Did she not see him enough? Did she not see that he loved her? A pang of fury crossed his eyes. Did she wish her lover was there, waiting patiently for her so they could have meaningless talks about the future? He wanted to yank her away from those dreams, to bring her back to reality so she could see his face again.“What are you doing?” Tessa asked quietly behind him. “Did you just smell her?”He nodded, and then kissed her arm where he had drawn the tattoos. “They’re infected. Call the doctor.”“No.”He turned slightly to look at her. “No?”“You pay her too much attention. She’s goin

    Brother’s War“We found him.”“Oh yeah?” Hayden inhaled his smoke deeply before turning to face Burly. “If you’re here, then where the fuck is he?”“We found Jarrod Dane, sir. You said we should find them, not bring them in.”Hayden inhaled another puff of smoke to calm himself before he erupted. “Are you always like this, just waiting around for more instructions or you’re just plain stupid?”Burly smiled, somewhat insulted. “I only do what I’m instructed, and you sir, simply asked that we find them dead or alive.”“Find them and bring them to me! What the fuck is wrong with you? For goodness sake.” Hayden rubbed his face in distress. “Just tell me where he is and I’ll meet him myself.”Burly raised a brow. “Are you sure that is wise?”“You could have simply brought him to me if you’re so concerned for my safety.”“There was some information that you withheld from us. Perhaps if you had mentioned it, I would know what you wanted me to do in that situation.”Hayden took a deep breath.

    JARRODTessa woke up handcuffed to her bed. She stretched and tugged, calculating the pull and the level of grip on her wrists. It was pretty tight. She was eagle-spread on the bed, her legs and hands wide apart. She waited for the fear to settle in, for her heart to jump out of her chest in fright. It didn’t come. She knew who had done it. There was only one person she was vulnerable around to let this happen.Hayden.He was sitting on a long chair at the foot of her bed. The room was cast in dim red light, so she couldn’t exactly see his face. She was wearing a tailored trouser and a torn white shirt—completely out of character.“You’re awake,” he said.Tessa gulped, the fear now truly settling in at the tone of his voice. It was dangerously low and calm. He was always calm and collected, but this situation was different. Whenever he wanted to have sex with her—which rarely happened—he was extremely rough and excited. He liked to hit her, bite her, and throw her against the wall. He

    Death Call The sounds above scared her. Sammy curled into herself, cold as ever. At least the man in the corner was gone and she didn’t have to hear his voice again. He whimpered all night long, even after Tessa left him alone. The next morning she came back into the room, chirpier than she usually was.“I’ll let him go now,” she’d said to Samantha. “Isn’t that right, my love?’ she tucked a finger under the man’s chin so he could look up at her. “You love me, don’t you?”He nodded urgently. Samantha’s heart squeezed at the sight. She knew that Tessa was going to do more horrible things to him, but at least she was considerate enough to not do it in her presence. While dozing off, she wondered what her friend had turned into. This wasn’t the person she knew. Perhaps she had rushed too fast into the friendship. She should have given it more time, studied her enough to prevent Lolita from befriending her too.The noise above started again. A whip slashing the air, a yelp and a particula

    ReunionSamantha was again transferred to another unit. She’d been waiting, knowing that they would take her to see Lolly, even if it was the last thing she’d ever see. Jarrod knew the hold he had on her. He kept her locked down in the basement, making Tessa deliver small amounts of water in a cup.“You’re going to stink when you see her, Samantha. You’d like that, won’t you?” he’d said.He was treating it as though Lolita was her lover and she was just pining to see her before she was brutally murdered. The idea of being killed right after seeing her best friend was scary, but not as scary as what Lolita might be going through. She was mostly starved, but Samantha knew to use the water to wash up sometimes. If Tessa pitied her enough in Jarrod’s absence, she might even get a night shower and fall back into her stinky clothes so he won’t know. Another plus was that he was almost never around.She imagined him walking around like a free man, complaining about how he’s not seen his fian

    The End and the Beginning Lolita sat at the porch of her house, waiting. It had just rained. She liked the dewy grass that sprouted from the ground. She started to touch them, but then drew back. She didn’t want to get her hands dirty. She had been turned into a neat freak by Hayden’s influence. She waited for him now, wondering if he would show up. It was Saturday. They had agreed to visit Samantha’s cemetery together. The last time she’d gone, she had been alone with Izan. All she thought about was him. She worried that her telling him off might have affected his relationship with Samantha. It was a silly excuse, and when he showed up two days later, he made it clear that he didn’t have to see Samantha every single day. A car parked in front of her house. It was him. Lolita refrained from jumping up and running to him like some little girl. He got down from the car and ran his fingers through his hair. It was a sensational habit of his, and he looked incredibly hot while doing it.

    Bed of Thorns “I have been thinking about you,” Hayden answered quietly. “Every night, every day, every minute. All I think about is you.” Their eyes locked and held. Lolita bent her head a little forward, intrigued by the soft calm of his voice. “Tell me what you think about.” “Good thoughts. Bad thoughts. Terrible thoughts. All sorts of things about you.” He paused for a minute and reached for a glass of water. “Sometimes imaginations bleed into reality. I don’t know what’s real and what’s not real.” They were wrapped in each other’s world now, the food forgotten. Lolita was lost in his eyes and he was lost in hers. “It’s different for me,” she told him. “I know what’s real and what’s not. I dream.” “What do you dream about?” “At first, it was about Jarrod.” Her voice was surprisingly strong when she mentioned his name. “I tried seeing some doctors, but the dreams would not leave. It went on for six months.” “Yeah? So what did you do next?” “I started to dream about Samanth

    Bound The doorbell rang. Lolita was in the bathtub. She blinked, realizing she’d been in the tub for over an hour. The water was cold now. She slowly stepped out of it and reached for a pink robe. Her bathroom was the only clean room in the whole house. It was where she sought her solace, where she slept the most. She went to the front door and opened it, her hand stiffly removing a strand of wet hair from her face. When her vision cleared, she immediately stiffened. Lolita was taken back to a year and several months ago, to the very first time she saw Hayden alone. He was standing at the door then with a small smile on his face, just as he was now. She’d been naked back then, from head to toe. He had pointed it out to her, his eyes laughing while she rushed inside to change. Lolita’s arms circled around her body. She wasn’t naked today. She was wearing a pink robe, so why did she feel intensely embarrassed—like she’d been teleported to the past and history was repeating itself? Sh

    The Trials of Lost Love Hayden stood up slowly. They stared at each other for a moment, none of them taking a move. Lolita’s eyes quickly scanned the environment, discovering that Izan was not around. Her eyes went back to him. He looked leaner than before, but still built. He’d grown out his hair; they flowed past his neck and around his shoulders. His face was clean, neat. He looked like a god standing before her, taller than she’d last imagined. He still had that oppressive aura around him, the one that made her fall to her knees for him. Lolita looked at him and all she could see was just Hayden, lost in his own mind. He regarded her as she regarded him, but he still didn’t make a move towards her. She remembered the last time she saw him, in her hospital room. He looked mad back then, as though the earth would stumble over him if she didn’t let him touch her. Lolita didn’t know what to say. The air was calm and awkward at the same time. “I’m sorry,” he mumbled, so low that she

    Time Heals No Wounds Lolita swirled her coffee around with her spoon. She stared into the cup, lost in the swirls of the deep brown. It had no sugar, no milk, just plain coffee. She still hated coffee, but now it was different. Now she liked the burn and the bitter taste that traveled down her throat. She sipped it slowly, savoring its taste. It reminded of everything that had happened, everything she had lost. Her thoughts scared her the most. Sometimes she lay up in her bed, staring into her ceiling and wondering if Samantha was still out there. Her brother caught her many times lying outside on the dirt, looking up at the sky. “I was waiting for Samantha,” she would say if he asked. “But she won’t come. The skies are starless tonight.” Her family was scared for her, and understandably so. When they tried to take her to meet more psychiatrists and therapists, Lolita had to incessantly beg them that she was fine. They didn’t believe her, of course so she decided to pretend for a

    Farewells and Backtracks “I’m sorry,” Hayden responded quietly. “Do you want me to leave? I can leave right now.” “Yes, please.” He stood up on a shaky foot. He walked to the door, then stopped. When he looked back at her, his eyes were shimmery with tears. She’d almost forgotten how beautiful he can be. How stunning and incredibly attractive, even though he looked broken. “It’s three in the morning,” he said to her. “I don’t think it’s safe for me to leave just yet.” “For me or for you?” He was shaken by her answer. Hayden leaned on the door and watched her instead, preferring the space between them instead of just out rightly leaving. Lolita sat up slowly on the bed, her eyes on him. “Is he here?” She asked. His forehead creased at that question. “Who?” “You know who.” Hayden looked down at his feet, but before then she saw shame and fear cross his face. Lolita’s heart spiked again, alerting the machine. She glanced at it in horror, wondering if it was going to alert the b

    Dreams Lolita woke up again, this time more refreshing than the others. The oxygen mask was thankfully out of her mouth. Her arm was still stiff, but at least she’d had a nice change of clothes and bandage. Her leg was on a cast above her bed, but the nurse who’d shown up the previous night promised that she’d start physical therapy as soon as possible. Lolita didn’t mind. She really didn’t need her legs; she wanted to remain in this bed for as long as possible, staring at the unstained room. She liked the emptiness it denoted. She felt seen, even if it was by an inanimate object. Her family showed up more frequently than she would have liked. Her mother sometimes slept with her and held her hands. Lolita didn’t like it. It made her hand sweaty and twitchy. She would have loved to draw it away without waking her mother, who would in turn alarm the whole hospital. She just wanted to be left alone. Samantha never showed up. She began to seek her out in her dreams, but they were so

    Flowerbeds and Lilies Lolita was reliving her nightmares over and over. It sometimes started out as a fantasy dream, where she was a fairy and she was flying high above the clouds. In the middle of admiring the beautiful nature below, she would then see a large black bird rushing towards her. At first it looked like a crow, but when it grew closer it grew into a larger, terrifying bird. It was ten times bigger than her. It would grab her off the air with its claws, cutting into her arm and abdomen. She would scream in pain and try to break free, only to discover that the claws had materialized into hands, and that it belonged to Hayden, who in turn changed into Jarrod. Every single time, she would try to break free and pull herself from the abyss of pain, but all she encountered was a dull emptiness. There was nothing to pull herself into, no rope to drag her back to the light. All she knew was emptiness; dark and dull. She had begun to grow accustomed to it. Perhaps she would even

    Grief and Byes Hayden woke up with a gasp, as though he’d been drowning forever and something just tugged him out from the deep end of the ocean. For a second his vision was blurry and gray. The gleaming white of the room hit him like lightning, immediately hurting his eyes. He winced and closed them back immediately, trying to relax his tense muscles. “He’s awake,” he heard someone murmur in the room. It was Rocky. Hayden reached out a hand, his fingers twisting for comfort and assurance. He needed to know he was alive and not in that bleak, dark blue he’d been in since forever. A cool, large hand touched his, squeezing it assuredly. “It’s not in my job description to coddle you, sir.” Hayden opened his eyes. It was definitely Rocky. He was standing at the side of his bed with a young, charming nurse who was obviously flirting with him. Hayden was too tired to make jest of the situation. Rocky turned to the nurse with a smile, signaling her that it was okay for her to leave. Whe
