2024-10-29 19:42:56I'm sat outside his window and I'm drunk again. Too drunk to remember why I'm sat outside HIS house's window. But I'm armed. I have a gun and some other stuff. Maybe if I'll wait I'll know why.
I peeped in again.
The sweat on my face is starting to get thicker and my breath is getting hotter.
He leaped down to grab the bottle as I heard the bathroom door.
"Better be off!", Kayla walked out. She's prettier than me. She's all chill. I envy quickly. Jealousy hits me, something green and thick in my blood.
I thought of getting my eyes away from her as I can't stand her looks. Instead, I gazed at his translucent eyes, narrowing as he smiled at her.
How lucky she is! I almost cry while being drunk and sick.
He is a paradigm of a beautiful man.
"You think I'll let you go?", he smirked.
God! He smirked at her. I love him when he smirks like that.
He relinquished the wine as he traipsed to stand behind her. I watched his fingers sliding around her waist.
Deeply inhaling in her neck, he nuzzled in her ear.
Get away from her! Get the hell away from her! I screamed internally.
She giggled as he started planting soft kisses, trailing her jaw to mouth. She moaned receptively, arching her back, making herself more inviting.
I'll kill you! I'll KILL you both!
I crashed in through the window, sneaking on a lovers' tryst.
They broke and gaped at me.
I saw Steve's pupils dilute with fear. Well, say hello to your psycho ex.
"Don't move!", I yelled, "You! On the floor to that side. Now!"
I felt heat radiating out of my face. I'm drunk but now I know what I'm here for.
He obliged as told. Kayla was however indifferent, she opened her mouth in an attempt to scream.
"Shut it!".
I scurried to Steve, furiously manacled his wrists and ankles with a spare wire I found near his lamp.
"You won't get away with it. You mental bitch! I told you, you are insane", he yelled.
I turned to her and believe me when I say she was visibally shivering. Her eyes widened as she studied me, her predator.
He watched with pity as I handcuffed and pushed her to the bed.
"I'll kill you if you lay your fucking fingers on her!".
My eyes light with amusement as I spot a stray, polythene sock on the floor.
Once his mouth stuffed, he muffled indistinctively.
"Come again!... Enunciate... Try using your sick words again!".
I sit on my knees in front of him and look at him with something he doesn't deserve. I watch his face with love. I don't know why I still love him even though he's not worthy.
My fingers traced his contours and I whispered, "The face you charm with". I hooded his face with a thick, small sack. The one I keep my knives in.
"Alaijaah!", he muffled.
My fingers flickered down his right arm tenderly with care, "The hands you touch with".
I picked my butcher's knife.
"Noooooo!" Kayla shrieked. She kept on screaming afterwards in her shrill voice, "Stop!".
I positioned the cold blade at his wrist, closed my eyes and hastened it through.
He struggled and breathed shakily. I saw tears running on his neck. He screamed. A scream too painful to hear.
I cried too. "Sorry, baby... I... I'm so sorry".
He winced and wailed with the stuffed sock. Dark blood pooled around him.
With partly sheer terror, Kayla began vomiting. She puked repeatedly.
I wiped my tears oddly.
"Let's wash. Shall we?"
"No!", she shook her head, "No, stay away from me!".
My head hurt from her shrill shrieking. I have to shut her up quickly.
With long strides I approach and seize her with a grip that's merciless. I haven't gripped anyone this tightly.
"You stole him from me! You're responsible for all this!", I say pointing at Steve who continued grunting and cringing.
She shook her head again and cried harder, "It's not my fault" her voice rasped with crying.
She walked erratically with me towards the bathroom. I surly slapped water in her mouth. The slapping grew harder and harder. Her face turned crimson.
"What do you want!", she demanded.
"Let's try something else, you're inapt for this kinda treatment".
I blocked the sink bowl with my scrunchie. My hair fell forward as I removed it.
My eyes relish the clear shivering. Maybe if she'll shiver more, I'll forgive her.
With one potent thrust, she's down.
Bubbling in the water, she tried to urge back up. The tap replenished more water on top.
As the waves and the urges ceased, she was pulled back.
Leaning down lifelessly. And Steve was already choking, making a thick, black sea on a white tiled floor.
"Die together!"
I started to laugh wildly, knowing that I'm filthy drunk and will not remember a thing in the morning. Not a single thing.

I'm sitting here on the pavement with my back resting on some backside of a bakery. Thinking of what I've done in the past years and what will become of me in future. I want to just evade away from the planet for sometime and think things through. I feel my inside getting hollow as I think of my life. I've been living like I'm living someone else's life. Now I'm confronting it all and it's hard to admit, it's my life.It's starting to drizzle. I see as one drop of water lands on my right foot, I drag it back. Then another on my left, I drag it under shade too. I hate rain. More concisely, I hate the things related to it. Wanna know, what?It reminds me of the time I learned to utter the word "dead".

Lisa was busily whipping cream for the cake she planned to surprise Elijah with. Elijah loved chocolate cakes and Lisa made them often. Just when she raised up after checking the oven, she was dumbfound. She didn't knew Heath will come home this early."That's what you think, you'll sneak out under my nose and I won't know!", Heath had it enough.The whipping got harder and harder."I have rights, okay and there's nothing you can do about it", Lisa replied."Oh, yeah. I know exactly who you met", he narrowed his eyes at her.Lisa gave up whatever she was doing as she knew now nothing can be done. She prepared herself for what she hears everyday and on top of it, it doesn't matter any more."You're a slut. You hear me?... A slut!", every single word was weighed with anger."You mustn't be considering that"."Come! I'd had enough!", he hauled her out in wrath."Stop!

"Thanks for the basket, Lydia", I said frenzily, "How come you remember I like 'em?"."What basket?", Lydia asked in confusion."Toblerone... The basket... My birthday", I tried to explain pathetically."You're psychobabbling again", she sighed, " You know sometimes I feel for ya. Was it only the grim upbringing?".I shot her a just-don't-go-there look."Gee. And sorry I couldn't make it for your birthday. I got busy with Tyler and his dudes. They arranged a bonfire. So... I hope you didn't mind and to be honest, I don't like your prude Aunt"."No, I didn't mind", I lied even though I was hating her a lot for saying that."Did you hear from Steve?""No, I don't know anything", I shrugged, trying hard not to freak when his name came up."Well, I think that freak must've left for Sheffield. Remember he always talked about changing highschool?""Yeah, he talked about it all the time"."Well, look Jason has been giving quite a shine at you, lately", she said pointing at him."So?", I prom

"Good thing they're gone.

She waded through mud, her feet became heavy by the alternative burying in the Earth. She was soaking wet and she stared at the rain pouring down, pestering and hurting her. Everything right now seemed to her as hurting because she'd been hurt from inside."Rot in peace!", she yelled at the tombstones, splashing water drops around her mouth.The dark cemetery stared back at her, a creature this fearless. Wind swept along her direction.Destruction, mayhem, chaos, everything was happening. Everything.She knocked her diary, the one she told the untold in, inside the grave she dug. The grave of someone she knew.Then she embraced the shovel, resting on the bark of a tree and heaved all Earth back. The mud was very thin in consistency since it was raining. Stomping on the marsh puddles, she burried all hurting memories or as she thought she did.She gurgled under her breath, "My life is collapsing...crumbling... meaningless and all the sick words one can think of".The thunder rose."Lo

"I'm not his daughter!", I howled again through my sore throat."I'm not!... I'm not!".Elijah Miller. Steady. Elijah Miller. His voice floated up.I started kicking the air in fury. I'm losing my sanity.I let out a sob as chubby hands wrapped my shoulders. Then they smacked and dragged me to the floor."Let me go!", I shrieked.I started kicking harder and attempted to kick the person too.

Too much. Too much for my ears. I pressed them shut."She passed over me for that asshole, so I killed her... No heat, no heartaches!".He seemed crazy, he is a psycho, I reminded myself. Your father is a psycho. This thought, this sick thought that whom I've been considering my father, isn't my father is enough to drain blood from my body. His blood from my body.I felt like being ran over by a stampede. I stumbled towards the stairs not dating to see the man behind me who just confessed he's my father. He continued to laugh behind me. I heard him laughing and stomping on the blood-soaked camisole he threw.I hauled myself up the stairs, rushing and tripping over many.His words rang in my ears.Elijah Miller. Elijah Miller.I killed her. I killed her.I staggered and dragged myself to the rear end of the hallway.

I pushed against the door, the glass on it rattled.It took Lydia long to chew on my words and now finally I'm out. It's late and I was drenched in sweat. My body is preparing itself for the ordeal I'm about to commit.My ponytail had come undone but I made no effort to fix it. "It's late!", I murmured.Under the glare of the street lights, I was gasping for air. My chest heaved up and down as I crossed the street, running as fast as I could to reach my house.Over the front lawn, the grass of Mrs. Jefferson was freshly mowed, moist and sharp blades stuck to my sneakers as I ran.Merissa's room was dark and dormant as a crypt. My searchlight streamed over her dusty window, illuminating her. Her face was in a peaceful repose as she slept on her left side facing me. For a moment, I thought she's staring at me but her eyes are shut."Time to confront your demons, baby".I clicked my light off, silently put dropped it down on the other side and jumped in the window.

I rang the bell. I heard it chime, once, twice, thrice in my house. No reply. I stumbled off the front stoop and made my way to the back. The kitchen door was locked too. I knocked on it, loudly.I pressed my forehead against the glass on the door and peered in. She's not home, I realized.I backed away from the door and darted around the steps. The window, it's open. I squeezed and dropped myself in on the sink. Everything stood in dark. The linoleum floor squeaked with my dirty sneakers.I felt drowsy from the sleeplessness. I stepped up the stairs and leaning on the knob, I pushed the door open, all the way and just flopped on the inviting bed.I awoke in the afternoon, feeling a little steadier. I hung my legs down. The air felt so suffocating. I traipsed past my dirty clothes, lying on the floor.I brushed the sour taste from my mouth. Slapped the dirt off my face and neck and stared at my reflection awkwardly.Is this me?The split up lip. The swelled eye. The blood-smeared nos

His voice sent shivers to my spine. He wants me. Wants me desperately .She couldn't have just vanished in the thin air. Find her!'I peeked out to see her face still bloodied. He looked so barbarous and choppy.Why is he so beside himself?What does he want ?' Phew!, I breathed as they prowled out to search me. I'm alone again. The hours passed,Waiting and thinking grievously.My stomach ached so violently,like my acid is now dissolving it's walls. It bubbled like a giantgrowling. I thought of diverting my attention, singing in whispers.After sunset I shoved up. It's time.I couldn't feel my legs but I got on them anyway. Ignoring the pain shooting up and down my body. I brushed myself off, my clothes were damp from sweat and barn dirt.A huge red ball of sun still hung low in the sky.The air carried an evening coolness. Sweet corn's smell struck my nostrils. I staggered out, adjusting my eyes to the darkness.Almost losing my balance, I sucked in a deep, delicious breath of air

"Do I have a word in here?", Lisa shouted through the high volume. I turned it down but my eyes remained glued to the screen."I told you about the dinner with Amanda", she yelled, "Any valid explanation for not changing yet?"."I didn't like it!", I seldom say a whole sentence."You better go else this is on you", she waved, "No computer for a month!"."This isn't fair!", I protested.She smiled victoriously.I half-heartedly clambered upstairs and scowled at the stupid thing waiting for me on my bed.A floral frock in red, yellow and orange.I pulled it down and spun as I saw my reflection, flashing my legs through it as it suspended. I looked so behaved and nice."What a trap!", I thought.I had a sudden impulse to show it to Lisa. Not for her wet kisses but that way I can debt her. She'll have to do something for me cause I did what she said.I smiled as I made my way to her room. It was at the end of the short hall. It was dark and I had to fumble along the wall, unable to find t

I felt like someone planted lips on my cheek, as hot breath moistened it."You'll miss good things sleeping", she said, "Wake up!".I shifted."Hey!", the voice resonated."Hey! You need to get up!", I realized the change of voice as someone rapidly slapped on my cheek.My eyelids parted a bit and I saw a swivel of people around me. My head felt so burdensome over my neck."She's alive", a girl smiled at me, "Told ya she's just comatose".My eyes began closing again and her voice breaked and echoed around me. I can't understand what she's saying to me.I put up all energy and pushed my eyes open then I shoved myself in a sitting position. I can't feel my lower region and when I tried to sit it was hurting. I hissed in pain."Where... Where am I?", my voice was scratchy for not using it long."Look, we might look like a jackass to you but we don't know either, still trynna figure out and I'd insist you on it too", someone spoke angrily like I asked some stupid question.I looked in th

I leaned in my chamber and stuffed books and notebooks in my backpack. I didn't care what junk I was taking and slammed the locker door shut.I walked past the hallway, contrary to the overpopulation of thudding shoes everyday, very few people were present due to homecoming. Especially girls. I wasn't facing anyone and tried to finish the day while pretending to be invisible. I don't want to hear Jessica's and Lucy's names.I walked with my head down but with rotating eyes. I think everyone is talking about me. Everyone knows. I gulped my spit and turned my head up.Everything felt the same. The Janitor's son got bullied, the same pain in his eyes. The groups were laughing wildly, the same carefree grin in their eyes.Everything is the same. Everything is normal. Nobody knows.Nobody...Suddenly someone whacked a back of hand against my shoulder from behind. I spun and blowed a fist in the face with all waking energy. The person tripped and landed on the arse."You?", my voice choked
