"Where's your shit?" I saw Harvey's hands grip the steering wheel profusely.
"It was in that fucking house you dragged me out of!" I clenched my fists and took a deep breath as the car began to fill with silence.
It's almost as if you could hear our hearts racing in unison.I started observing the area Harvey was driving towards but I just couldn't figure out where he was planning on taking me.
We travelled past many identical roads that were unrecognisable to me, so I continued to look up at the street lights which were the only thing lighting up the night."Where are you taking me?" I turned towards Harvey with a dead look on my face.
"Doesn't matter, cocksucker," all the profanity boared into my head and drove me to feel more aggrieved.
I went to speak again in retaliation, but stopped in my tracks knowing that it could make things worse.I turned to look down at my body and saw myself drenched in blood, much more then what i expected.I began to groan, as I felt mortified by what i saw.
As my hands began to shake vigorously, I reached down and grabbed the front of the shirt and pulled the blood drenched material off of my skin as it had a tenacious grip on me.Before I knew it, my body began to reject what it was seeing in front of it as every part of me began to shake.
I let go of the shirt and reached for my head so I could run my fingers through my hair, in a hope that I could mimic my mother's way of bringing me out of my deluded states.For a moment it helped, before I could feel the wetspots of splattered blood running through my hair.
I felt my stomach turn, and I knew I might vomit.I felt the stress suppressing my immune system as nothing could stop the horrid feeling.All I could think about was what happened and how grotesque it was.
He must've gotten shot in the heart but I didn't get the chance to see, because I flinched at the sound of the second gunshot.I let out a heavy moan, almost as if I was in pain, but it was all slightly muted as I tried to push my emotions to the back of my mind, with no avail.
The feeling inside was ineffable, and I could feel my sanity fading."AAAAHHH!" I let out another bone chilling scream as i lost who I was in the moment. My personality was hiding behind a crippled facade I attempting to protect myself with.
"MUZZLE IT!" As Harvey spoke, I felt bile rising up in my throat.
I franitcally began to cough as I lost air to my lungs, and only caused myself to gag on it.Harvey heard me in my struggle as he pulled the car to a stop and leaned over my body to open the door, all while ramming his shoulder in my face.I put my hands on my neck before he leaned back and lightly pushed my head out the door while placing another hand on my back.
He patted my back as if I was a child, once again changing his demeanour in an instant, which came off as crazed."Fucking hell," I heard him murmering to himself in disgust as he attempted to ignore me, in a hope to not gag in reprisal.
"I'm just glad that didn't get in the car," Harvey said in anger.I spat out chuncks of vomit still resting in my mouth as I held my head out the door, trying not to let my neck fall forward too much.My lack of effort to spit out the rest caused me to gag again, leaving me in a uncomfortable cycle for a few continuous minutes."Here, take this," I turned my head slowly to see a piece of tissue in Harvey's hand, and he was reaching out to give it to me.
I bent my arm behind me, snatching the tissue out of his hand.I held it for a moment as I coughed once more, before I took a deep breath in.It fortuitously caused me to inhale chuncks of bile all while trying to ignore the putrid, acidic taste on my tongue.I then wiped my mouth, while folding the tissue each time I went to wipe my face down.Once I was done I threw the tissue outside in exasperation, before bringing my head back inside the car and slamming the door."Watch the fucking door!" he raised his voice at me as he started the car and drove off again.
I looked at him with eyes open wide, and a flat stare, almost in a psychotic manner.I felt fury boiling inside of me, yet it always turned to tears and I could never contain what my body perceived as instincts.I gave off a manic, savage scream once more before pulling my legs up towards the door and slamming my body weight into it.I did it three more times before Harvey leaned over and gripped one of my legs in his hand tightly, with the other still somehow managing to hold the steering wheel."GET THE FUCK OFF ME!" My piercing cries echoed through the car and into the outside world as I continued kicking my legs, trying to release Harvey's grip.
I felt his clutch on me tighten, and I began to realise he was hurting me.I was so worked up, I could barely feel the pain but as I looked at my leg in the middle of the struggle, I saw small pin point bruises where Harvey had first tightened his grasp."You're hurting me!" In response, he threw my leg back towards my body and put all of his focus on the road.
"FUCK! I have to fucking DEAL WITH YOU!" The volume of his voice went back and forth from almost mumbling to a spite filled yell that bellowed from his throat.Isn't it ironic?I thought i was the incisive one to believe it was all going to change, everything was going to fix itself. To see such an intolerable look on my companion's face when I asked if he had anything to say about his undying love for the girl I once was.After the mass murder, or the massacre as we all say, I lost my mind. They say I was once sane, but to say the least I never really was. Being the single survivor of a thing like this never made it easy to heal. The brutality of the situation was like a curse cast on me. Sometimes I have the aid of equanimity, yet that's in manageable situations like when you've lost your way, once again.I wish I could've felt a calm breathe carrying on, but you just can't do it when people's throats are being sliced open in front of your eyes. Not when you've been tied down and tortured, with the harrowing feeling of death hovering over you. For many, it is lurid to hear my story.For me, it was and still is an ordeal, a living ni
Something felt eerily wrong.The musty smell surrounding the corroded walls, you could almost see them about to crumble, yet it only made it more fascinating. Before I had much time to think about my fascination, it was too late.I felt a sharp sting in my neck, the sharp point of a needle filled with a drug concoction.It was all a blur up to when we were tied up and tormented.The least desirable part of the experience after the indescribable pain and fear was hearing that man's grisly laugh as he displayed a toothy, rotten grin. To show his prey how much he was enjoying himself as he ripped us to shreds.He carved through my skin and muscle to unveil my paste white bones, yet I still had the slightest feeling of a desirable emotion, it was hope.Seeing the petrified looks on the other victims faces, I knew they wanted to die even if it just saved them the deformities.They would've done anything to die, yet 20 minutes before they would've wanted to live.I never lost hope, I was
"Hurry up Serenity, we don't want to be late. I want to make it on time for once," Adrian said through a mouthful of Brownie that he had found in my stash, hidden in the back of the pantry."Give a girl a minute, won't you," I struggled to find a preference of shoes, yet rushed myself and grabbed the first red pair I saw for the sake of Adrian. I opened up my cupboard and pulled out the most ecstatic red dress off its hanger. "Alright, just give me 5 now," I said. I knew I was wasting time but I couldn't help admiring myself for a moment.I never felt grateful for what I was left with, the skin never healed over naturally so the discoloration and indentations were hard to conceal, but I finally took a breathe and appreciated myself. Maybe I can still be the girl that stands out in a crowd. "Time to go, I'm not waiting any longer," Adrian said."I'm coming, just start the car," I began to dart left and right grabbing items that I thought I may need. While I rushed around, I could
"Do you feel like some vodka?" Adrian gripped a bottle of Smirnoff in his hands and began pouring the alcohol into a new set of shot glasses."I guess I should have a few since that's how a normal party goes. Pour it to the rim," Adrian gave me a smirk as he continued to fill up empty shot glasses."Our good night begins at this one," he pointed at the fifth one in the line up. I reached over to the glass he was pointing at and snatched it from his reach before I threw my head back, downing it so quick that I knew I might choke."Nothing can change that now," i said through a few minor coughs.I kept my head tilted back as I felt a burning sensation still running down my throat."Well, I know one person who could ruin it and I think he just spotted you," I looked up at Adrian in confusion."What are you talking about?" I turned to look in the same direction as him and I saw Jake, sauntering through the crowd. I looked back at Adrian and saw him grimace at Jake as he looked me up and
I finally caught up to the peculiar man as he continued to march in the opposite direction.I could see the anger flowing through his veins, yet there was only hope in mine.A hope for a better future, I want to be emancipated.I want evidence, and justice.I want to show virtue, and see an immense number of the nation standing behind me.I wanted the world to know my pain, and I know my thoughts will be racing until then.I finally let my mind rest and began to look around at how far we had gotten.As I continued keeping my pace, I realised I was slowly falling behind.I looked around could still only see a large area of green grass that stopped at the trebling further in."What's your name? I feel like that's the least you could tell me," the man swivelled around with such speed and grabbed me by the arm. "You'll stop asking me all the fucking questions and you'll listen to me. I'm not getting killed because of you. I told you were not safe and I meant it," the vexation on his face
I turned my attention away from Harvey and looked down at the remnants of my phone.As tears filled my eyes, reality began to set in.I felt my hands begin to shake and my stomach started to churn.As I slowly walked back towards the couch, I heard the crunch of plastic fragments underneath my feet.My life was taking a turn for the worst, and I hadn't even contemplated that yet.I laid my head down on the bare couch and crawled up into a ball.It had been a long time since I felt so awake, yet my eyes felt so worn out from all the tears. I turned away from the light coming through the window and repositioned my head on the pillow.I still somehow closed my eyes and let my weary body take control.In the morning when I awoke I heard Harvey in the kitchen, cooking something on the stove. I raised my head above the top of the couch and saw Harvey's hand on the handle of a frying pan.He arose from his tired state as he began to hear me shuffling behind him. I watched his head turned t
I finally reached my street and once again picked up the pace as I came closer to my home.I ran towards the door but felt a rush of wind hit my face as i realised that Adrian was in my home. "He threw his body at me and held me tight, I smelt sweat and bodily fluids on him as he pulled me closer.The smell was off-putting, but i knew it was because he had been up all night worrying about me."What the fuck were you doing Serenity! You just left and couldn't even tell me where you were going? I thought you had been murdered the way you ignored my 50 calls!" He said in determination.His grip slowly loosened as he began to slant his whole body towards the ground.Tears began to form in my eyes as I thought about having to dissapear for good.I looked from left to right at my home, coloured with a pale grey paint that had began peeling over the years. I had set up a beautiful birdbath out the front as well, having the birds around always made home feel more welcoming.So many feelings
"John, I think Serenity is at the door. Did she tell you she was coming?" I heard my mother's voice through the door."No, i didn't know, Let me get it," I heard the heavy thumps of my father's footsteps, and the sound of the doorknob turning.I put on a smile, a facade as I saw my father's face emerge from behind the door.I watched as he began to beam as he saw me standing on the front porch."Honey, what are you doing here at this time? It's getting late, but come in! Your mother would love to see you," I leaned forward and latched onto my father, holding him tight."I'm sorry, I just missed you guys already," I muttered as I spoke, with my face in his chest.The warmth radiating off of him was comforting, I felt the goosebumps on my arms fade away momentarily."Well, come inside sweetie, it's too chilly out here," he released himself from the hug and lightly wrapped his arm around my back to push me inside the door."Serenity, how are you hunny! We didn't expect to see you here,"
