KALEO
THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER
The bleeding scars. The bitter truth
-and the gruesome reality.
One touch, and palms enveloped my my lips, urging me to yell, to bite -but the only one hurt was me, the hands pulled me away from the kitchen.
The metallic clang was enough to alert the person behind the mask and as i heard the shivering sounds, i was terrified. And then in a spontaneous moment of trying to break free, i kicked as hard as I could, pushing both of us to the ground.
We both struggled to stand as he reached for the knife that fell to the ground while I made an attempt to run free.
I was weak, having already being stabbed as I staggered to the edge of the balcony, before suddenly i felt the weight of hands around my lips, allowing me to trip over. Then as the knife trailed upwards my body
KALEOThe photographs were boldly taken, of the scene, the ropes and her bruised neck.I wiped angrily at a tear as i dropped the phone, which i knew I would pick up again as i grieved the gruesome outcome."It was a devastating suicide that rocked the whole community"The press release of the recently conducted investigations but hardly was i convinced my mother would kill herself. I knew she struggled, back when Elizabeth died, but she put so much work and her promises-her goddamn promise never to leave me.And each second i was on edge, finally persuaded to attend her funeral, to bade her one last heart wrenching goodbye."You should have some rest" Maria suddenly whispered, enveloping my palms with hers as she tilted the ring on my fingers."It will soon be over" She assured. "I'll be with you. We start tomorrow and your grandma said we'll rest at a motel or so bef
WUGazing over my shoulders cautiously, i still stirred my brewing cup of tea in the awkward silence-only the metal tea spoon stirring against the sides of my mug as our eyes caught.With some sort of disgust, she still looked away, having no words for me still. My grandmother and I seldomly got along but her judgemental silence was nothing you'd wish to deal with."I'm gay"I had told her before her eyes gestured a million words her lips couldn't speak. "You know I'm just gay, i didn't murder" I finally muttered, not looking away from the swirling of freshly brewed tea."Just gay?" She echoed with a sigh that seemed to unburden her shoulders."I'm not less of your granddaughter neither am I less of a woman because I'm gay" I immediately snapped, almost angered."So have you known this all your life and you just decided to drop this on m-"
AALIYAHSome things,-are bound to happen.We call them accidents, because we never expected them. Unfortunate because we never wanted them.And devastating, because we dreaded them.They say this things come for a purpose, to make us stronger and we must learn to embrace a new challenge-to determine that our sorrows won't overcome our joy and our pains won't cover our gains.That these things either shape us or break us, it defines us if we let it-it just depends if we're ready, ready to take it by the horns and defeat it.Because they also said these things were never meant to conquer us.~I could use a whole of speeches as I sat, my legs swung beneath the hospital bed, begging to fall to the ground and i cleared my throat.The doctor had seemed longer this time and i often sighted him dash
JACQUELINEWe had walked around the block in search of her mother, all efforts had been in vain."There's really no need to get worried, she might just have needed some time away" I continually convinced but she shook her head."She never goes out. She just sends me these errands but she might be angry about-" She paused as I halted, looking to her."I might have maybe told her i was gay" She said and i just remained quiet as we marched on the same block we already checked twice, maybe even thrice.Then all of a sudden, she gasped, running towards a building of shops with her face washed with relief.In the same direction, someone who i guessed was her grandmother by the striking resemblance, innocently sat on a chair."See, she's safe. She might have just come to get-" I said as I looked at the name of the shop above us."James and s
KALEOkeep breathing.I couldn't imagine how many times i was told that,-when my anxiety takes over and my heart suddenly feels heavy or after the accident when i was bound to a wheelchair-when fear grips my heart and the agony of loosing a mother.keep breathing.Was that really enough?~A smear of the colorful lights had dashed across in respect to the speeding car, my head was against the closer window as my eyes wearily began to close, terribly exhausted from the past week.Funny enough, by the way Maria still handles the steering wheel, you could tell she still had strength to spare-that woman never really got tired.But my grandmother, she was already passed out on the chair, with only the seat belt clinging her so she doesn't fall. The car was silent, only the low music that came
MARIAI was almost tucked into bed as my longing sense waited by the windows--until there was a slight thud against them."God, i told him not to use stones on the glass" I muttered as i jolted from the bed before sneaking my way to the entrance.The door always creaked the loudest when we didn't want it to, and slowly he made his way in and we walked up to my room.Marc was very good at hiding, especially since he hadn't seen me in awhile and i personally loved it because it reminded of younger days when I sneaked around.He groped my waist and whispered into my ears-"I missed you so much"Before pushing me unto the bed, and pulling off my top before his lips kissed my neck and slowly he went lower. "I can't wait to teach you something" He said as i wrapped my arms around his neck."
WUFIFTEEN YEARS AGOSomehow the world felt so distant, and the snow became nothing but icy pain once i had stepped outside-in search of something that would remind me of the christmas spirit i once had.I had just lost both my parents to a tragic accident that wrecked not only the vehicle, but my family. And instead of planning for Christmas this time, i wore on a black pinafored gown for the funeral of both my parents-forced to pretend like i could move on from such devastating phase of my life.So there i was, my palms against the window shield, begging for every thing to just go back to the way it was months ago. If Christmas wishes came true, i wouldn't care how insane it would be to hope I'd get both my parents back while i opened the gifts thay had slipped under the tree but still pretende
JACQUELINE"Hey" I squealed as the door parted--she was still on a robe, which her hands still held it across her body, on christmas.Most of the christmases we had, we often spent it together, either in the bar or at Maria's but this year, Aaliyah just pushed for Wu to host us.We thought she needed some of her friends, her sisters, especially since her mother took ill but the truth was we all needed each other and sometimes we forgot what comfort and sisterhood feels like.I wrapped my arms around her neck whilst pushing her from the sides as we both smiled."Hey" She said immediately, slightly jolted by my surprise gesture."Merry Christmas" I said as i pulled away before I walked down the corridor to her kitchen.Wu's house was regularly large, i mean it's Miami, there are hardly any small houses but those ancient chinese

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. Jacqueline was in Harry's hands as they watched the tom and jerry movie. It was whilst giggling tha
161JACQUELINE BAIEMy feet brushed against the wet grasses, i had taken off my shoes as i fled down the hills in his hands. 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,
JACQUELINETWO MONTHS LATER"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" I had started out, calm as if i’d gotten my emotions in check. You could hardly believe that i was the same one that broke out in tears a while ago.I cleared my throat, staring Wu in the eyes, who had nodded to give me a sort of encouragement. I then breathed heavily before i 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" I paused.I had read all the articles to prevent me from crying when i passed the eulogy. I had read about remembering to breathe, eating befo
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
