The design didn't end their, the shoulder line was also made of beautiful laces that joined the silken material all the way down.After she pulled the zipper up I turned to look at the mirror and felt pleased with my choice.

" Is that all," Steve asked as he placed his boot on his fingers holding the rails." Why are you here?" Steve probed in a low and gravely voice. " She just lost her mother, are you here to rub salt into her wounds?"" I swear, I came for the funeral, I have no sinister intentions, on God, on my mama," he breathed an explosion of words.Steve shook his head in disbelief, hardly listening to his words." You failed the interview and guess you are going down the rails, to fall on the cold hard concrete, so your brains can be splattered out their for everyone to see the dirt inside," Steve mocked in a low register voice.He lifted his boot higher planning to push his hands of the balcony."

" Jesus Christ!"" Get your hands off her, what the hell are you trying to do?"He was now sweating and shaking all over as his grip tightened around me. Steve struggled to unwound his hands and after a struggle, he finally let go and fell back in the ground still shaking and sweating as his eyes bulged out." Are you okay?" He asked."

Just as the the thud was heard, a cold wind rushed from nowhere and hit my face.The universe was mocking me from every possible angle,v telling me I had failed, daring me to challenge it and fate.I wanted to scream papi and father, but noticed the words were safer inside my mouth.I slowly moved towards the balcony rails, trying to hold my world and universe together. He wasn't dead, he wasn't dead, stay positive..I couldn't loose two parents within two weeks, each going right before my eyes, making sure I saw them go, making sure I had their last cry as death consumed them.I felt myself grow dizzy and held onto the rails to support my weight and pain.

Everyone was gathered outside beneath the street lights, as he spoke. Two police men standing beside him.This home was now marked a scene of crime as if someone had pushed him."

Let us just step out and discuss this tantrum you are throwing all over."He led the way out and I glanced back to see the patient moving his fingers, sending a message."

She passed the door was standing at with speed and elegance leaving behind a trail of perfume and bumping into the detective rudely, an act that I highly applauded her for, she could have my favorite hoodie for that if she wanted. She pushed open a door and someone made a move to stop her before she flung a string if abuses and curses to stop them. " He is here voluntarily, we are not arresting him," a voice greeted her warmly. " Well, he is
