I sliced through the tomato on a chopper, before pouring into the heated pot on the gas. I wiped my hands on my apron before turning around to my mother—
“You know i can finish up for you” She begged at this point and i shook my head in refute. “I can— and i will prepare his favorite meal for my son’s sixteenth birthday” I dragged, a crack in my voice as i leaned against the counter with fatigue.
But my determination rose above it all. It was Mateo’s golden age. A year after his quinces and his bold step into semi adulthood. I stared at his picture above the couch, in astonishment at the young gentleman i had raised and i cursed the origin of coronavirus.
That we could not spend it outdoors in the park with his new friend, Toni even though he was only one coming over that night. Or one of the sights and parks in Mexico. But it was amidst this thought i

MARIA*“Your father and Toni would soon be here. I just got off the phone with him” I sat in the chair, reaching across for the seasoning for the rice. He walked to me, with the tablet in his hands.“Toni would be here in minutes” He said before handing his phone to me. “That’s Wu, she wants to speak to you” He said and i arched my brows.“You speak to Wu?” I said in a questioning tone as i slid to answer to video call. Her hair was messy like she had just woken and i pointed it out with a laugh.“I just woke up and i had to wish him” She said and i rolled my eyes. “What are you doing with my son?” I teases and she scoffed.“Shut the fuck up” She said as we shared a laughter before she asked. “Are you okay?” And i sighed, nodding positively like it wasn’t just me that had a mental breakdown in my mother’s hands.And she smiled widely. “I have to get to the club in
VAMP CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINE - HOW FAST THE NIGHT CHANGES.
*MARIA“So, Toni—“ I dished his food unto the plate in front of him. A glamorous plate of..., his favorite. I admired Toni’s black nails and his long hair.Of recent, i had admired anyone with a hair at this point. “How is your life?” I scrambled for words, in that moment, forgetting how to talk to two teenagers.“I hate it” He said as i halted. He gave a good laugh, looking to Mateo’s side before i realized it was all a joke. I’d loved to see Mateo laugh, but i didn’t know how i felt at my expense.“Really though. It’s just there. Schooling at home sucks, my parents getting a divorce sucks, and my life pretty much—”“Sucks” Mateo completed and all of a sudden, it all became clear why was always around. He didn’t have much of a family to be with. He eyed the food before grabbing a fork to devour but then he paused—“
VAMP CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY - THE ONE THING WE SHARED.
JACQUELINE“The loss of a someone close to us is perhaps one of the deepest and most sensitive we will ever come to experience. It can be difficult to process these emotions and work through the stages of grief” Jacq had started out, calm as if she’d gotten her emotions in check. You could hardly believe that she was the same one that broke out in tears a while ago.She cleared her throat, staring Wu in the eyes, who had nodded to give her a sort of encouragement. She then breathed heavily before she carried on.“To say Aaliyah was selfless would be an understatement— She was more and to a lot of us, even more. She tried her best to brighten our lives even when she was living in the dark” She paused.Jacqueline had read all the articles to prevent her from crying when she passed the eulogy. She had read about remembering to breathe, eating before she spoke and having

AALIYAH"I can't tell you why you even bother at times" I walked by her, before tossing the plate of food into the sink. My mother trailed the corner of the room, trying to get father to pick up the hundred calls."It's been more than a week. I haven't heard from your dad. He's a very stubborn man but i have to make sure it doesn't lead him into danger" She said as i rolled my eyes, sniffing in Ayeesha's scent before she showed by the door that led into the kitchen. "Have you tried calling the hotel where you were at?" I asked, turning away from her."Good morning" She greeted, rubbing her sleeves in the oversized sweatshirt i had given her. Mother put a call eventually as she heaved a sigh. I walked further into the parlor, grabbing Dele's suitcase and handing it over with a kiss on his cheeks. He was probably still annoyed from the last night since i rejected his advances, he had no
VAMP CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY TWO - NOT THE SAME ANYMORE.
AYEESHAThe story might have seemed shallow as fuck, if it actually did stop at the terrible things i did for money. Or just the terrible things that happened in the course of those years but it actually did not.The truth is, the story wasn’t complete. It could never be complete without Georgia.Without him. I fell in love with a man and that was the main reason i was here.SIX YEARS AGO“Is she the new recruit?” The man across the table asked. He had a deep voice and he never really looked up from the money was counting. He had a fearful aura even when it was only two people beside him. And i looked to James, fear in my eyes.We had both worked in the supermarket across the street. Across this laundry place that was made to disguise this huge drug cartel underneath. He was new however
VAMP CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY THREE - SECOND CHANCES.
JACQUELINEWhat is it they say about second chances? And how easily we give them. Even to the ones that really don’t deserve it. But then, for the right people——a second chance is divine. It’s an opportunity for newer possibilities and beginnings. And a chance to right one’s wrongs. To make amends and to better yourself. To build yourself or the thing that broke.A second chance is forgiveness, even if its for oneself. It’s acceptance and sometimes, the only way forward.*“Jacqueline Baie” He called my name lowly from the laptop. It took a while before i realized it was the volume. I adjusted it as i sat comfortably into my couch, placing the laptop across the table.For me, this was a second chance. It was therapy, for the second time that month. Adam was gentle, you could easily tel
VAMP CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY FOUR - CHOOSE ME.
MARIAThe beeps from the chemo therapy machine rang dimly in my ears as i slowly opened my eyes. I realized i had fallen asleep on the barely comfortable chair——just beside Alejandro. I yawned, the slightest sound alarming him. His eyes shut open as he raised his hands above his head to stretch. “Ahh”“I can’t feel my legs” He complained on how he stayed on the small chair before the doctor walked in. The same one, i had learned her name was Juliet and i was already starting to call her Jules.She always had this smile on when she came to disconnect the machines or check up on the dose that i first would have thought she was just been friendly, but perhaps she was flirting with Alex.I took in a deep breath, knowing i would only remain on the chair for minute as the fatigue dawned on me. As soon as she’d left, i looked to him for a brief second with an eyeroll.“What is
VAMP CHAPTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE - SKEPTICAL.
WUMy eyes trailed the tires of the truck, before i lifted them into the mirror. I could see myself through it, my very much stressed under appreciated self. It wasn't a huge truck, like a pickup truck, smallish with a white container and tires. And the driver traditionally wearing a black cap and shades.I zoned back in at the tap of Blackeye, he stared at one of his boys, Terry as he dumped in the last stash into the back of the container. It was a one loaded with millions worth of drugs."Where your mind at?" His voice croaked before his hands slowly hit against mine.My heart thumped, for every second, my heart thumped because it was scary. I shut my eyes at the clang of the metal door against its hinge as he closed the container. To say i was on edge would be a mere understatement, i was stressed and i hadn't had a break in a while, working between being a drugde

Jacqueline had her legs up in the air as Harry squeezed her palms tightly. She couldn't believe she was here, doing this again."Push" The nurse yelled into her ears as she felt hands running down her thighs. "You're contracting, baby's coming out soon" You could hear the sound of her hands against the gloves.Jacqueline's head was tilted and her eyes faced the ceiling, refusing to look at Harry who was barely holding himself together in his blue scrubs and the napkin he had against her sweaty forehead.She was weak, feeble as if it were her first time. She couldn't believe she'd have another this soon, and all she could hear was the sound of their voices the night they talked about it.NINE MONTHS AGOThere was still a box lying on the kitchen counter.

You could hear his brief chuckles and my loud giggles as i almost tripped.He halted to catch me in his hands. His arms wrapped around me as the winds breezed into my face, swaying my hair to the sides. I wore a smile on my face as it all moved slowly——i was here, not mentally but in this exact moment. Physically, in a short white dress and a veil that had fallen along the aisle. And i wanted to stay here. I wanted to always be here.He gripped me a little hard that it began to tickle and i pushed him away to the ground before making a run for it. I ran towards where the sun was setting and where i could still see Maria and the other people and the wedding canopy that we had set.Just a few of us, family. That had always been here for the big and small moment

WUI had always wanted to bring her flowers, but not like this, not at her grave. It was shimmering with snow that dropped to the ground.And my boots were buried in it whilst i stared at the red flower i had dropped it. I looked to the chair that was beside, snow on the seats before i sat in. My gloved hands wrapped my elbows as i moved my head warmer. Each breath i took gave accompanied with a chill. It was freezing out here.But i didn’t care. I just wanted to see her.“Anyways Fox is going to spend time. Life probably, i just don’t want to know or get myself involved in anything like that” I said, as if we had been talking for a long time. Silence dawned as i looked to the gatekeeper. He was already used to me coming here since the past few months and talking to a corpse. I wasn’t crazy, he knew it.He would often say how i wasn’t the only person that came here to do it. The truth is,

WUEverywhere was silent, the door had finally stopped swinging as the nurse went back out. The same nurse that had wheeled me in. I sat in my chair in front of the bed in which she was laid open.The nurse had raised the sheets over her head but i was sure that she was listening. I had hoped that she was listening.Jade.Tears overwhelmed my eyes before they fell down my cheeks. The tears that were more than enough to ache the throat and make the voice disappear. I searched for the words to say as i finally saw her unconscious body, laying across the bed. I didn’t know it was going to be this hard to do this.“J—” I couldn’t get passed the first letter of her name as my voice quivered. I was shaking, as i buried my face into the tissue in my hands. I snorted in it before heaving in a deep breath.“Hey Jade” I broke into uncontrollabl

AALIYAHEverything had changed. With my parents by my left and Dele sitting close to me on the hospital bed. I could hear my slow groans as i was intubated.But alas, my eyes were open and i could see Leila walking slowly towards me with Wu beside her and the only question asides who wouldn't have thought——Was the inevitable one of whether or not i was willing to let go. But the choice was not up to me.If not, maybe i would have chosen to stay and then my eyes fell her. With whom i shared so much of a striking resemblance with. Who would've thought?My own sister, Ayeesha.-There was a light that flashed behind my eyes. The light, before my eyes shut wide open. Dele was beside me and Diane, and Wu.“I’m so glad you’re awake” Dele said, clenching my p

JACQUELINEAaliyah walked towards the door, twisting the knob to slide the lock out of place. I could see her shadows from beneath her door. It had approached after knowing merely twice. And then the door swung open to reveal her in an apron——and a half wide smile. “Jacqueline, now what are you doing here?” She asked, sticking the tips of her fingers into her mouth. “I just came to see you” I replied as i walked in, closing the door behind me.NOWI walked in, brushing shoulders with the sheriff that was just about to take his leave from Wu’s room. I trailed him with the corner of my eyes as the door closed behind him. They were scattered around the halls i had noticed. And Wu was seated up, against her pillow which was against the wall.She looked better.She was better. She had a bandage wrapped around her left wrist and one around
