Five years into my relationship with a Godfather-to-be, I realized Cicio Russo had fallen for someone else. And I decided that the choice should be his. I laid the options right in front of him: break up with me, or send that someone else far away overseas. Cicio Russo stood outside my windows all night, down there with the coldness of the night cutting through him and fogging his breath. By morning, Cicio told me that he'd decided. His choice was me. Or at least - that was what I was made to believe. Surprise came on the very day of our wedding, a strange little boy ran straight down the aisle that was supposed to be mine to walk. “Daddy,” he cried at Cicio and Cicio’s face of stony indifference, “What about me? You have left mommy already. Are you going to abandon me, too?” The ring slipped from Cicio’s hand and hit the carpet with a muted thud. He turned his back on me and walked away without even looking back. I pulled off the white veil. And I snatched the microphone from the host. “If you take one more step,” I screamed into the microphone, “if you leave, I will give all this up. And you, too. Do you hear me? I will give you up.” He froze. For only one second. Then he stepped away anyway.

Oubliez les "tout les oppose mais ils s'aiment", on part sur un gros "ils s'aiment et putain ça va faire mal" Axelle Lyce a 22 ans, elle habite seule à New-York et elle est dépressive. Toute sa vie elle a eu l'impression de n'être qu'une toute petite flamme, si minuscule qu'on pourrait l'éteindre d'un souffle, ballottée de droite à gauche et qui se force à briller de tout son éclat pour ne pas montrer à quel point elle est fragile. Une toute petite flamme qui va rencontrer l'essence. /!\ VULGARITE EXTRAIT *Mon pied part en direction de son ventre mais il le bloque avec une agilité déconcertante et le rejette, me faisant chanceler. Je commence à penser que je suis vraiment débile. Il balance son poing vers mon épaule. Je pare sans difficulté mais son autre main vient s'écraser violemment dans mes côtes. Aïe ! Je perds l'équilibre et manque de tomber. Contrairement à ce que je m'attendais, il n'en profite pas pour attaquer et se remet docilement en garde. Mon flanc me lance douloureusement. Je lui jette un regard noir. « T'en as déjà marre ? Me nargue-t-il. » Décidément, il a l'air de bien s'amuser. Cette fois, je n'ai plus envie de jouer. Je lui prépare un de mes coups favoris. D'abord, le poing au menton. Il esquive sans problème mais ne voit pas mon coude arriver dans sa mâchoire. Puis un grand coup de pied en plein torse pour le faire reculer. Il vacille et porte ses mains à son visage. Puis il me regarde de nouveau, surpris. Je ne résiste pas à l'envie de le provoquer un peu. « Et toi ? » Il ne tarde pas à retrouver son sourire.
