"What the fuck?" I yelled, grabbing my dad away from the prostitute, who was half naked and now on the floor, "you need to wake the fuck up, you just came out of the hospital, you bastard excuse of a father." I spat out at his angry face, I didn't care, I had reached the limit where I was immune to dad.
The living room's stench was unbearable and I had to get out of there before I lashed on dad again.
I pushed him as the stripper dressed up and ran away from the crazy household. He didn't say anything, he was too furious to so I left him.
I let go of that flashback about what happened before catching the man that had Evangeline and wanted to trade her for slavery. Mr. Yeman was a vile man of no morals, I knew him when I was a part of his gang, he disgustingly
It was time. I wiped my hands on the rich navy long dress I wore in anticipation. I had done a lot of these shows before but none of them meant something like the bigger inside of me. This was my chance to show the Julliard executives that I was worth it.Mom, I hope you're watching this.This is for you.The sound of the audience rushing in to get to their seats made my heart beat faster and my hands sweaty. I closed my emerald eyes and prayed for success, prayed that I don't mess this up.The white stage lights illuminated the stage like a circus show and the audience stopped making noises of approval, the red curtain that was in front of me opened, the grand piano that was my friend in all my times of need placed
The pure rush of the air blasted against my cold pale skin as I drove the red burrowed motorcycle to where she was going, I just had to make sure she got there safely with no trouble.You're not forced to do that.I dismissed my jumbled thoughts and concentrated on the road ahead. It would have been mighty fine if mom was with me, laughing as the wind sweeps her hair out of her face and her precious blue eyes look up at the sky. I could only hope she comes back again.Her friend's silver-colored Jeep stopped in front of a big mansion that had blasting music and neon lights out of the window, they got outside and my eyes stuck to Evangeline's back as she walked with her friend.I left the motorcycle a bit far off from her friend's car
The toned arms of his strong sculptured body glowed under the bathroom light and his amber eyes lightened up when he found mine, the scars, and bruises on his chest were a Leonardo Da Vinci masterpiece, my pale hands contrasted against the cold skin of his body as it went to the outlines of his abs to his arms as he closed his eyes like he was being hypnotized just like I was.I couldn't get enough of him when he opened his eyes again, I stopped and my body was against his as my dried tear stained eyes found him again. We were both in a fatal trance, never letting go of the attraction that would ruin us forever. It didn't matter anymore. I heard the imaginary rip of his caution tapes off as his eyes hungrily took in my face as if he was trying to save a mental picture of me.He neared me, ever so carefully, and his pink patched lips clo
The interrupted conflicts that have been going on through my head like a heavy tantrum started to calm down as the night's calm reached our state. I was more than just lost, I wanted this as much as Evangeline wanted this too. I couldn't just drag her from her perfect life to this."Mommy, I met a girl in the club!" I frowned when I told my mom, "she was mean to me!""Honey, that means she likes you." she smiled down at me the moment she responded."just the way daddy likes you?" I giggled at her as I said that and she ruffled my golden curls."Yes," she whispered with sad eyes.The problem was in me, I had been involved in too much shi
I watched the dawn through my bedroom window as I hugged my knees. It was so serene, so peaceful, so beautiful just like Rys. The tormented bad boy. I smiled when I remembered the bathroom incident, he was jealous of me. He likes me.A frown was set upon my lips when I also reminded to the part where he left off without a glance in my direction, I felt hurt as tears threatened to escape my eyes like a waterfall but I had to hope that I would still continue to fight for the sparks between us.The sparks between us deserved to live.I sighed and rubbed my sleep-deprived eyes. The entire night was spent on my thoughts about Rys and my entire life. My life goal was to make a career out of something I have always loved and to help my dad with the needed bills. I couldn't think some
"Hey baby boy," mom smiled down at me while brushing my hair through her soft fingers, "it's been a long time.""Mom?" I closed my eyes and opened them again to see her smiling face."I'm here honey," she assured me as she bent down to kiss my forehead."I miss you so much." The tears came streaming down my face as mom smiled sadly at me."I miss you too," she said, "so much," She admitted, "but someone will miss you way more than I do.""No, mom-"The salted tears dropped on my face when I opened my eyes in anger. I was met with the most mesmerizing emerald eyes I had ever seen.
The man stared at me in Ryson's arms and I felt terrible chills climbing up my spine like a horror movie. He had bad vibes to him, his eyes were snake-like and he was a burly man with a dirty stench to his ragged clothes. Ryson was stiff and his arms tightened around me."Dad." He said and I widened my eyes, well, that was indeed my bad impression about Rys's father. They were so different from each other, the man had black hair that revealed a slight empty patch in the middle while Ryson's hair had thick curls. I remembered what he had done to Ryson's back and I grew madder than before."What do you want from him?" I hotly snapped. Ryson looked down at me with a tight-lipped frown, oops, I said a bad thing. I tried to sound hostile but it ended up sounding like a pitiful small kitten.
The sight of my house with a broken door and a shattered window glass made me sober to reality. The reality was something like this: kicked dad out, he hired a man to kill me, dad succeeded but I came back to life. I had Evangeline with no money and a shitty life. I could tell she was curious but got scared when I had my tantrums directed at her. She ought to know eventually but it was too soon for her to delve deeper into the sad life of Ryson Adams."Stop thinking," Evangeline advises as she squeezed my hand. A part of me never wanted to let go of her but I had to so I could wipe away the dark patches of my past."Evange," I said softly, "we have to separate from here." She was sad and I wished I could just make her happy all her life."I will, but on one condition." She muttered and
Rayna Harrington I wept sadly like my bruised skin—beatings from my mom were usually worst than now. As I remained sat while she just did the unthinkable, I thought about my life in a broader, more crystalline picture. My cries simmered down when she finished, hugging my knees and trying not to show her my weakness. This was the calamitous parts of life – parts where I just wanted to stand out from the different oceans of all types of people, but according to my mom, it was sinful and unwelcomed in her family. The contentment of how it felt to hold my secret gold microphone I had spent my savings on was indescribable; it was simply the epitome of pure
After Eighteen years "I present to you the famous pianist known in this generation," the host boomed with joy as the audience started to become more thrilled, "Xavier Adams." My son came in all his glory as he bowed down on the stage of Julliard and sat down in front of his piano like a fitting glove, it suited him a lot. I gushed in happiness as pride coursed my entire body, Ryson kissed my forehead as we cuddled together in our seats to watch our eighteen years old son play so effortlessly. I had made sure to teach him through all of his years in Michig
A month afterI closed her eyes as she smiled in her short sleeveless red dress on the roof of my grandfather's hotel. I thanked him so many times for his extra support and reserved for England when our school days were over.I wanted more for her than just a music teacher in Michigan school, I wanted to make her dream come true. She expected dinner on the roof, she expected a picnic with the view of pretty Michigan but what she didn't expect when I removed my hand was the big jet that was in front of us.She gasped at the surprise I had in store for her throughout this month with grandpa's help.Her smile was the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen.Her emerald gems glowed i
You'll never cross an emotional bridge, if you keep rushing back to the other side.T.F. Hodge,From Within I Rise: Spiritual Triumph Over Death and Conscious Encounters with "The Divine Presence"•••I wished that time didn't exist. That the obstacles could just be removed, that waiting for him to come back to me could just come faster. Time was a problem I faced. Time wasn't my friend at all, it would either fast forward my life or rewind it.My blonde swirls were jumbled up by a thin striped band and my awful smell spread out in my room from the two horrible days I spent with Ryson. The bed sheets tumbled under my bed from how moody I got. My room was a mess with papers on the ground a
I was beyond vexed, I was fuming with rage. I stopped in front of the mournful beauty with a scowl on my face."Why the fuck didn't you wake me up?" I yelled at her as she just stared at me, emotionless. I grabbed both of her thin shoulders and shook her."Why didn't you ease my guilt?" I yelled more as Evangeline's eyes intensified with grief."I watched my dad get pushed down there." She whispered as her eyes glumly looked into mine. If anyone else was in my place, they would shiver from the amount of pain her eyes radiated."You didn't have to do this alone," I muttered coldly. She shrugged and looked down at the ground. With my hands, I lifted her face to meet mine again. God damn it, I could never stay angry at her.
"Dad, I love you." I sobbed as I reached my hand to touch the side of his cheek. He smiled and took my hand in his."I love you too, princess." He simply said with sparkling eyes. He looked like an angel."What am I supposed to do without you?" I whimpered out. He rubbed my palm to comfort me and said."Keep playing the piano."The sorrowful trees surrounded the house blew against the wind as leaves fell from their places and the wind was ruthless. I stared at the window to the view of Michigan bare streets and the sad drifting leaves.I then averted my eyes to the broken boy that laid with his eyes closed. I smiled a bit at the stubborn boy that f
After the heartache, Evangeline had gone through and the sympathy of officer Dalton, she had gone to sleep and I watched her to avoid my urge to sleep due to terrifying nightmares of her dad haunting me. The guilt was my best friend now."I wish I could take your pain away, baby," I whispered as my heart broke to millions when I saw her ultimate breakdowns, "It's all my fault, I admit it, we shouldn't have met each other but I don't regret every second with you by my side." I poured my heart out as my eyes took in her cracked lips to her red nose and down to her tear-stained neck.I wish I had met her at the right time. None of this should have happened to her. My eyes screamed for sleep but I couldn't give in to it, I wouldn't want to scare Evangeline with my nightmares so I stood up and walked out after I closed the door gently.
I stared at the hands that weren't mine, or at least I would like to think so. My tear stained cheeks averted to the two dead men that Ryson and I had killed that were carried out to the center. It was fast and instantaneous, I never expected us to end up this way. I was supposed to be in Julliard training to be the top pianist in the whole wide world, it seemed too far to reach but that was what I wanted and Rys was supposed to find a job that carried a stable life. Instead, we became killers who had anger in their hearts and trembling hands."Evangeline Hart and Ryson Adams." The officer called both of our names and we silently obliged. Both of us too tired to talk, I could tell the dangerous conflicts Ryson's eyes portrayed. He was thinking about what happened earlier and by the intensity of his eyes, I could tell he was mad at himself for bringing me into this.
Each sob that vibrated through her body was a direct bullet to my heart. Evangeline was in my arms after many explanations on my side. I knew what I needed to do this time. I couldn't let this go any further more than it already had. We had been in the hospital bed for three hours after the nurses declared her dad's funeral tomorrow and the cops got the information needed from me.You fucked it up, you monster. I beat myself up as I exhaled in exhaustion and my tired eyes took in my innocent girl state. The mental picture of Evangeline ripping the belts made me want to kill myself to end her pain.My dad definitely had to pay.I didn't give a fuck about what would happen next but I needed a break from my agonizing soul and my restless conscience. If only I had warned Evange away from m
