Farrell:I spoke too soon about my enemies. You can't really get rid of them that easily, and I was foolish to think I had done that.The more I stared at the image of Lorenzo's battered body on my, the more my blood boiled. I opened the voice message."I heard your wife is out of town, we will find her but first watch your back and that of your loved ones in town," The sound of confidence in this man's tone hit a nerve or two, and due to the fact I was having a boil down of emotions, I smashed my phone in my car. The screen shattered in multiple pieces but it wasn't my business still. I was furious, and I was stranded too.I picked the phone to see that the screen was bleeding, and I could barely see anything."Fuck," I groaned, and then I marched back into the building.I stood by the door and surveyed the environment which consisted of my workers who were either cowered up at a corner or still on the ground. Their condition bothered me but it wasn't my tip priority, because I nee
Molly:I know I said I was doing okay but I wasn't. My boss is a creep, and there was a possibility I was in potential danger. It had to be Mich, because he is probably the only one that knows my whereabouts.Who am I kidding? The mafia had eyes everywhere."Fuck!" I groaned out loud, forgetting I was with a client.He looked at me, and then I folded my lips the moment I realised what I had done. With the look of things I was definitely going to get in trouble real soon."It's okay to curse a little. I mean if the world was a great place then there'll be no need for that," he said.He was an average American man with a glasses. There was nothing distinct about his features. His hair was blonde, and he had a strange looking mole by his left nose. He wouldn't be sitting here if the chief editor cared to do his job. This was my second day of work, and I haven't seen a trace of him. Something tells me that he already knew I would be here, hence he didn't bother to come."So, moving on to
Farrell:When I got home, I walked to my room, and slammed the door so hard that one would think the hinges would fall off. It was happening once more, and I was alone once more. I had shut everyone away from my life.Take a deep breath, I said to myself while pacing around in the room. There was no denial that I had gone so soft, and I knew I had to brace myself first before I could face them, but the feeling of loneliness clouded my mind once more, and one thing lead to another.My mind joggled back to the moment I lost my wife. FLASH BACK:“You need to get the fuck out of here!” I yelled at Maria, who clutched the hand of Roy our one year old son. Roy had the prettiest eyes, and he was fast asleep without a single care of the cruel world, while I lay on the floor with my body perforated with bullets.“I cannot leave you, and I will not leave you. Come on, there is a shop over then, and..” Before she could finish, we heard another round of bullets.Maria acted foolishly out of love
Farrell:I marched out of the room, leaving Courtney behind. Nothing made sense anymore, and I needed to escape from my ugly reality. While Courtney was in the room, I stood on the long empty hallway with one hand resting on the door, and the other hand on my waist.Without much contemplation, I left, and I marched into Maria's study. I reserved a room just for her because she loved books a lot. Walking into the room felt different in a bad way. My heart was heavy, and I was angry at the same time. I had never really forgiven her for her death. We could have had other babies."Fuck you!" I yelled, knocking down the books on the table. Then I slammed my hand so hard on the table, causing a dent on it. My hand tingled a little, but I didn't care.For years I had preserved everything she had. Her room was taken care of daily like she would return someday, and all her instruments were preserved. Sometimes I wonder if she looked down at me, and if she did I wonder how she feels. Everythin
Molly:Kate put in a few words to her man, and then she called me to confirm that the coast was clear. Without hesitation, I picked my bag, and made my way to the door, but before I could open it, Larry did."What is it that you have with Kate that cannot wait?" He asked, slamming the door.I took a few steps backwards, while he walked forward. His face looked neutral but there was no way I could tell he wasn't going to do something terrible."Just girl stuff," I said, forcing a smile on my face, but his face got scrunched instead.I swallowed hard, and waited for him to close up the space between us. Then I tried to calm down."Tell me, is she seeing someone?" He asked, causally shoving his hands into his pocket like he wanted it to be true.For a moment I was lost, and I couldn't say anything, but then he arched his brows and raised his chin."No, I'm the one seeing someone, and Kate wants to help get ready for my date.. yes, that's it," I said, hoping he would let me go but his fac
Farrell:Courtney pulled away from the hug, then she stared at me for a while, before placing her hand on my cheek. "When last did you have a clean shave?" She asked.I had looked at myself in the mirror, but I barely noticed I looked like shit. Life was taking a toll on me but I had no idea, but it was too easy for her to notice."Let's get that cleaned up," she said, and then she took my hand.She held my hand and walked me out of the study. As we walked down the hallway, my mind flashed back to the time Courtney saw me after Maria passed. I looked like a homeless caveman. My beards were overgrown, and for months I wouldn't speak to anyone. That was when she offered me therapy, and here she was again, rescuing me as if she was my mother.We got to my room, and she pulled the door open, and we walked in. "Change, and I'll be with you shortly," she said to me, sitting on my bed. Then I walked to the closet.I took off my clothes, leaving me in my briefs then I grabbed a towel, and
Molly:The next day, I dressed up for work as usual. When I was about to leave, I heard Kate on the phone with Larry. As usual I felt a waiver of disgust in my stomach. I left in a hurry because I didn't want to get into any trouble with Larry. I got into a taxi and headed to my workplace.As soon as the taxi stopped in front of the building, I heard my stomach rumble."Here," I said to the driver, and then I gave him the fare money.I decided to make my way down the street to get some snacks, and coffee since I didn't have breakfast. When the taxi left, I made my way across to the coffee shop.I pulled the door open, and the little bell on top rang then I walked in, allowing the sweet smell of the brewing coffee to fill my nostrils. Shutting the door, I walked towards the counter to make my order. "Hello, and how may I help you?" The man at the counter asked with a smile on his face.He looked cute with his uniform, and it made me almost forget what I was there for."Espresso, and t
Farrell:I was woken up by the chilly feeling of the rotating fan which was tuned to the highest. When I opened my eyes, I lazily grabbed the duvet around, and pulled it over my body. I was about to go back to sleep when I realized the bed felt different. It wasn't as large as the one I had at home, because I rolled a bit, and I was bh the edge.Pulling my eyes open, I was met with a quite familiar environment. I was at Courtney's place– her mother's home to be precise. I sat up at once and tried to remember, then I recalled how I had left in a rush the previous night, and as soon as I got to this place, I passed out on the bed because I was exhausted.While I was still deliberating on getting out of bed, someone knocked on the door."Farrell, it's me Courtney. Breakfast is ready, and I'm checking on you too," she said.The moment she spoke, my stomach rumbled. I needed a warm meal, and sadly this might be my only chance to get one. With a huge sigh, I got out of bed, and made my way
