I stood still eyes filled with tears my mouth in a frown the man stood near me and I look up and question him,
"what did my Mother and Father do?" cried hysterically and treid to hit the one holding her.
The man who has her in a tight grip holds her harder and the man who stood near her bends himself and look in her eyes,
"You see little girl, I had to do it but don't worry we won't kill you, after all we need a little favour form you, you see after we leave, the policemen will come and all you need to do is tell the police exactly what happened and when they ask you who did it, say it was the Red-Mafia leader and his goons, remember 'the Red-Mafia' alright, be a good girl. Will meet you soon again, that is if you survive", He said patting my head with a dangerous smirk and they left.
Soon I find myself running towards the car I tried opening the driver seat door, my Father was motion-less and I feared that life had given up on him.
I turn and went to my Mother side and thank god the door of the car opens I shakes my mother trying to wake her up. She wakes up groaning in pain, her gaze softening as she looks towards me and a faint smile on her lips. My mother slowly brought her hands to my crying face, trying to wipe the tears that had roll down my cheeks whispering, "everythings gonna be alright", and telling me not to cry.
"ILoveYou", is what my mother whispered and breath her last, in the dark and lonely place I stood alone, shaking my lifeless mother, crying for the heavens to hear my cries.
As if like the cloud felt pity for me, pour down the rain– harsh and violent were it. I was englufed in pain and sorrow and that night rain began my best-friend trying to wipe away my tears.
In the distance I hear the sirens coming nearer and nearer bringing me back to the reality.
The fact that I am all alone, and that I am orphan hits me hard.
The police arrive took Stacey to the ambulance, the doctor examines her and the police ask her what happened and she shared everything she knew of to them.
I was left alone on the ambulance, my eyes wondering around the police doing there works pictures of the car and my parents were being click.
I was silently watching their every move, as if something would creep out and hit us agian. I gathered all my courage and stood up, went near my parents body kneel down, I once again felt my eyes prickle with tears.
My ears soon pick out what the policemen were talking about, they were discussing about the whole Mafia thing something alone the line of 'Red-Mafia' and the King's Mafian. My face was downcast until I heard my named being mention they were talking about me:
"We need to take her to the orphanage, none of her relative are ready to take her in", Said the one policeman and I was once again felt with sorrow so I discreetly stood up and ran.
I ran form the conversation, I ran from the scene, I ran from the pain, deep into the forest, I keep on running where my feets lead me to. Until I fell down and my knee sting form the hit, I look down and it was bleeding I cried again.
I was crying until I heard a crack of leaves I turn around I found a shadow at that moment my heart literally stop for a moment and I did what everyone does when they are frighten, I let out a scream until the shadow neared me and covered my mouth,
I was mumbling incoherent words.
He bend down to my level and I saw the bluest eyes and I found myself drowning in the eyes of the stranger.
"Stop crying, I am not going to hurt you, beautiful girls don't cry", said the voice of the blue eye .
And somehow I found it strangely comforting.
I rush home like my ass was on fire, I unlock my door, guess June isn't home yet, I went straight to the kitchen and open the fridge, took one bottle of cold water and drank it hastily. Leaning my back on the wall I close my eyes, and put my hand on my heart which was beating faster then it's normal rate, I felt a tear roll down my cheeks. Following the trail of the wall I sat down on the floor of my kitchen, weeping for the man I have waited for years to come back. A part of me felt relief yet a part of me felt annoyed. I have waited for this day, yet the feeling for him to also feel the pain was stronger. “Austin” I mumble his name over and over again. My stomach felt so abnormal. It had being 10 years and she didn't except to meet him in such condition. Him just popping out and surprising her was not on her plan. After so many years she still felt the same old feelings. He had grown into a Man now and she wonder if he belonged to&nb
Austin cleared his throat and said, “come I have a place to take you”, he stood up and gave his hand for me to hold. I look up and stare at the given hand and back to his eyes, without holding his hand I stood up and walk past him. We went outside but he took a different way out of the restaurant, more like the back of the restaurant. A car was parked outside and Mr. Driver was there near the car. Austin opened the door for me and I got in, he took the keys from the Mr driver and jog towards the driver sit and we drove off. “Austin, where are we going” I groan for the fifth time. “Soon Little girl soon” Austin replied. “you have been saying that from before, soon is taking so long and god if you call me Little girl one more time I promise I will murder you”, I replied with annoyance lacing through my voice. I huffed and hold my arms around my chest and look outside the window. He chuckled to what I said and mumble something und
“Why?” I asked after calming myself a bit. He hugs me tighter and replies: “It was a sudden decision, I had to leave because something came up in the family and I had to leave immediately which made me unable to tell you anything, I am sorry, if I could turn back the time I would have undone what I did”. “when you left I thought of many things as to why you left, I thought you hated me Austin—I lived my life thinking that you hated me and that is why, you left without telling me anything”. I said crying hysterically. “I am sorry Little girl, I promise I will not repeat the same mistake, forgive me. I am back and I promise I am not leaving not anymore”. I hugged him tighter “You promise Austin, if you do it again I am never forgiving you and stop calling me Little girl”. His laughter rang through the forest and I felt his body vibrate as he hugs me tighter. “I am happy you came back”. I said to Austin. “I am happy to be back too”,
My eyes nearly pop out of its sockets, I scrunch my face and took the pillow and threw towards his retreating back. He turn slowly oh like those slow-mo like videos with those playful glares, I just took a deep breath and grinned like a 3 year old kids who just received her sweets. "Oh you are so going to regret that, Stace”, he came towards my bed and pull my foot form under the sheets, I let out a surprise sequel and man with that devilish smirk he started to tickle my sides, he knew how ticklish I was over there. Laughing and trying to make him stop tickling me was how my morning went. 30 minutes later.... “No I won’t”, “yes, you will” “No I won’t”, “yes, you will” “No I won’t” “yes, you w...” I threw my fork towards him before he finished his words, which btw he catches the fork spoon like a pro. I huffed, “for the hundred time Austin I won't, I won't and I won't go, end of discussion
We stood there, no words spoken, I noticed he was dressed in a fine suit which for sure must have cost a fortune, he was neatly dress not even a single wrinkle could be detected. I look up and look at his eyes filled with a new kind of glint and I felt lost, yet again I am reminded of all the betrayal and I cleared my throat rather in an unladylike way. And raise my eyebrows up. “uh, please get in”, Austin said. “You have Two Hours to this”, I said and walked past him. He followed me in and mumbling how my temper is still the same and led me towards the table and he pulls out the chair for me to sit. To which your I ignore and sat the opposite side of the pulled chair. Ha!! Take that. “Let’s dine first, you must be famish and talk the talk later, what do you say?” Austin asked trying his hardest to settle my mood I guess. I nodded my head, I wonder what we are supposed to start with, he betraying me or he showing up after 10 years.
A knock on the door at 7 sharp and I found myself waving bye to June and greeting whoever was behind the door.But to my dismay, that arrogant Man for sure knew how to trigger my anger. Oh for the love of heavens, he have the guts to send somebody else to escort me. Ha, you are going to have a hard time dealing with me.“Hello Ms Grey I presume, I shall be escorting you tonight”. Said the bulky man dress in a Suit making him look like those bodyguards we see in the overly dramatic Movies.I nodded my head as a yes and tried smiling politely, as I don't want to come off rude to this humble Man.He open the door for me and I got in.We have been riding the car for like 15 minutes or so and I felt out of place, I am not a person who can stay silent the whole ride. Come-on who, even does that!!“So Mr driver you never told me your name?” I asked.He look at me through the front mirror, he looks shock for a second b
