Another day had passed, he was still on the clothes from yesterday, the pizza he ordered, was staring back at him. He couldn’t eat even a slice from it. He had to distract the detective tailing him. Yesterday. He wasn’t safe anymore. And he doesn’t know if she was okay. He wanted her here. He was stupid, he had accept that. Right now, he needed to see Maeve because he’s going insane.
“You’re really going insane.” The sing song voice came again. This time from the pizza.
He almost cried.
“I keep hearing voices. What’s wrong with me?”
“Everything is wrong with you.”
“I agree with you on that..” he exhaled and rolled hi
“She’s here with me.” “Is this a prank or what. Why would she be here?” He had came in a while ago, Met Dr. Green in front of his porch waiting for him. He was leading him into the house. “Why would I do that. She’s here. I’m not joking, I thought it’s time you know, her whereabouts and if she’s ready to go with you.” “Where is she?”“In there.”Dixon exhale, holding the door knob, she was in there. He wanted to go in so badly, but his feet and hands won't move an inch. He turned to Dr green who was staring back at him."Let's talk for a while."
Dr. Green smiled moving away from the door. He hadn’t mean to eavesdrop, he just happened to walk past and heard their voices. He hurried to his kitchen, brewing some coffee. For them. Barely able to contain his smile. “We’re leaving, Dr.Green..” Dixon announced from the door. Dr. Green turned to them, standing by the door of the kitchen. He looked down at their intertwined fingers. “So soon, stay for some...”“We’ve a lot of things to do. Thank you for everything.” “I think I’ve to keep saying that, you didn’t have to thank me, I’m glad I could help..”“Well you guys have to catchup, I can’t stop you anyway, make sure to call anytime you need my help.
Dixon took her home, so she could get dressed, he’d planned to take her to a place of solace. The place he loved going. Where he finds peace. while she was at it. He hurried to the kitchen to prepare some foods and dessert for them. Which he had to take with them. But the kitchen was a mess. He had to start wiping and cleaning, and washing the dishes he’d abandoned for days. Fixing everything in the perfect order. He took his apron and wore them and then his hand glove. Throwing out the trash into the trash bag. He filled it up and took it out of the house. Into the street and dumped it on the waste bin. And went back to the house. He opened the door and saw Maeve standing by the TV set. He blinked and rubbed his eyes. Maybe he wasn’t seeing so well or what the hell was she wearing. “What’s this?” “Dressing..” “I mean the....what the fuck!” She wore a long black gown, and a skirt and tucked the gown into the skirt. She wore his face cap, and his sneakers. “How did you learn to
It was a bright evening, a week now since she was back at Dixon’s house. The stars glimmers just above her heads, She had been alone, since Dixon left to see his friend in prison, and he hadn’t returned.In her eyes were a glint of hope, of a new beginning, a dawn of a new era. Where she would be human, everyone was allowed to dream, Dixon had told her, and her dream was to be human again, right next to him, forever.The pains hit her on her chest, sending her screaming in agony. The hope she was feeling before all wiped out. She was allowed to dream, cause she wasn’t like every other person, her fate was already decided. She just had to accept it, that she would leave Dixon very soon. Behind her bed, was her calendar, written just thirty days.She backed away from the window, into the floor, her eyes were springing out blood, these passing d
Dixon opened his eyes to find Maeve watching him intensively, he rubbed his hands over his eyes. And yawned. Her eyes were still fixed on him, and with the look of it, he thought she didn’t sleep at all.“What’s wrong?”“Did you watch me sleep?”He asked, sitting up.“I couldn’t sleep at night, cause you keep snoring so loud.”“I don’t snore.” He sounded unsure.“I left my room to come check what’s wrong with you, I thought you were bueing suffocated or something.”“No way.”“You do, like this.” She made a disgusting snoring sound.
Dixon stare at his brother as he held the door. Trying to fix the pieces together. Why was he here, was he, perhaps the so called awaiting boss. Bruce owns this industry.Right.Just perfect. Reasons why he was offered the contract several times.“Hello brother.”“Aish!” Dixon snarled. Withdrawing his hands from the door. Running them over his hair.“This is insane!”Bruce enters fully, with a plain smirk.“No way I’m working for you, no way.”“We could make a perfect te
“Happy birthday baby, daddy got a special gift for you.”“What is it, what is it, daddy.” The little girl, squeals, jumping up down, in front of him.“A special gift.”“Won’t you give it to me already.”He chuckled, taking her into his arms, she was still on her small pinky pajamas.“No yet baby, momma got to give her first.”“Really, but I want to see yours first.” She pouted. He drew her cheeks lightly. The smart daughter of his, he was always ready to do anything for her, she was the heiress of everything he had. His future.
Maeve watched him sing-along on the song played on the stereo. She laughed at him when he moved his mouth without saying a word. Or said nonsense in the following lines.And he said it was his favorite song.Favorite indeed!“Your favorite song, and you can’t sing a line correctly.”“I just did, sang everything. I could dance perfectly well, but I’m driving. You moved to the side, your hands..”“Just drive.”“Are you doubting me?”“I can’t Right.”“You’ve to believe me.”
“Cheers to a good life,” Mark said lifting his glass on the table. Everyone seated at the table lifted their glasses with a smile, Dixon's hands were intertwined with Maeve as he kept caressing them over the table. She smiled at him.“Cheers.” They clicked their glasses. And sips from it.Dixon stood up, still holding his glass.“I wanna make a toast to the ones we lost on the way, the two important persons in my life, my first go to Ms... Theresa, without her playing her major role in our lives, this won’t have happened, and to the one who was more of a brother to me...”“I still can’t believe you had another brother aside from me.”“Shut up Bruce.” Linda laughed.
Roy ran into the house. Shutting the door immediately he entered. He was panting, he had been so scared a while ago, so scared, he didn’t expect to see her like that. And everything now had been in vain. Just like that. Now, this happened. She must be dead now, she must have killed her, Anika was probably dead. There are no two ways about it because of the looks she has on her face. There’s no way anyone survives that.He raced to the bedroom and slumped on the bed. With his hands on his chest. What a narrow escape, it was still late in the night, dark and awfully quiet. Beryl stole a glance at him. And looked away, she didn’t say anything. She pretended that she was still chained to the bed. Still, glued to where he left her, she shut her eyes pretending not to notice him or do anything or say anything to him. The bastard, this was his night. She remained on spot Waiting for him to come to her."Hey babe"
When Dixon woke up, he was in the hospital, his head was bandaged, Bruce was by his side. And he felt so weak and tired.“You’re awake.”He nods.“How long have I been here?”“Twenty hours.”“what?” He tried standing up from the bed.“Hey, stop, don’t try standing.”“It’s the almost full eclipse. I need to go.”“You ain’t going anywhere.”“What’s the time?”
“Are you the only one in here?” Maeve asked as she was still glancing around.“No, I had just a help from someone you would know, here, have your seat.”Maeve sat down with her gaze on the broken chains and cracked walls, which were still stained with blood.“Who is that?”“Roy, I think you need to show yourself here. Someone needs to see you”Roy, the name was familiar, but she couldn’t sure remember who that was, while she was seated she played with her fingers.Roy came in with a plain look, he didn’t stare at her but looked over her head.&nb
A car slow down in front of her, then stopped, he stare at her through the window. “Maeve!” He called, she turned and stare at him. It was Mark. “What are you doing here?” “Taking a walk.” “Where’s Dixon?” “He isn’t here.” “He left you alone?” “I left him.” “What do you mean, get in the car, I’ll give you a room ride.” “I told you I’m taking a walk. You should leave, you didn’t see me today.” “Maeve, What’s...” The look in her eyes made him silence, he said nothing else and watched her walking away like the dead. She didn’t stare back at him or wave. Unlike the Maeve he knew. Something was wrong then. He didn’t know if he had to follow her or just go away. She left Dixon, because he would never leave her alone. He was always buy her side like glue and now he wasn’t. He searched through his contact list, if he had his contact, but the prick was being a prick, so he doesn’t have it. He didn’t have any of their contacts. Now calling them that he saw her was out of it. He had t
“Why didn’t you tell him!” Eamon yelled at Green, he keeps hitting his fist on the table, biting his lips in annoyance.“You should have told him, how do you expect him to feel when he wakes up and she’s gone. He has every right to know!”Green was pacing in front of him, with so much quilt in him.“I wanted to tell him. She won’t let me, I made a promise to her. That I wasn’t gonna tell him, she told me she was gonna tell him herself. I don’t know. I..”“Dixon will be so mad when he finds out what you’ve done. There were days you could have let it slip out but hell no! You held it in. Told no one. You allow her to bear the pains alone. She alone on that painful and lonely
Dixon stirs and turns to his sides, slowly his eyes open. It was still quite dark and he wasn’t so sure of what the time was yet. But he could guess, it was past four in the morning. He sighed and stood up. Naked. Searching for his pants.Then it hits him.Maeve!She wasn’t by his side.He walked back to the spot where they slept. She wasn’t there. He ran shortly to take up his clothes and slide them on.Where’s she?Her clothes weren’t there either.“Alien!” He yelled. His voice echoed as he shouted.
“Still ain’t gonna tell him anything.” Dr. Green said, making breakfast. He tossed the egg and flipped. Maeve was in the kitchen with him. Drinking the green tea, he had made. Her gaze was elsewhere as she kept on exhaling. While taking the tea.“You don’t seems too good.”He studied her. She was still brooding over something. Her hair was almost white now. Just a little remaining.Today was the last day to him. Since it was the second day, she had to leave Dixon side before the cock crock. And then, he sighed as well.He couldn’t find anything else other than the sacrifice of death. That was the only thing he got. And nothing else.He moved to her side
Maeve watched Dixon sleeps. Staring at his face caressing it with her fingers. He stirred and looked at her with a smile, though still sleepy.“Ain’t you asleep yet. Come lay beside me.”“Ain’t sleepy yet. I’ll join you soon though. I had to go somewhere first.”“Where to? It’s late already.”“I’ll be fine. And it would be a quick meeting.”“Humm. Don’t stay out too late, it would be too cold without you In here.” He closed his eyes again and slept off. She chuckled and brought her head down and kissed his lips.A day was gone.
