Blood and Roses 010: The photos
×Anastasia×"Anastasia!" Griffin's voice jolts me out of my stupor. He's standing in front of me, with a worried expression tht quickly vanishes. Making me think I imagined it, and maybe I did. What else did I do?"What?"My response doesn't go well with him. "Let's get you some ice cream." He offers, and I can only say yes because I haven't had that frozen treat in a so long. Maybe three years because I don't remember. Griffin takes me back to his car- well my car since he didn't come with his-, and we drive to McSlap For Slap, to get some ice cream and food. He wouldn't let me out of the car to order some myself, so I had to sit in the Jeep staring at the pedestrians walking by. Smiling, holding hands, I never realized how lonely my life is. I had only one best friend, and my family. Those were the only people I cared for. I was never bothered by the stares, or that people didn't want to sit with me. To plainly put it, I had no clue I was alone. I didn't feel it.Now I do. No on
Blood and Roses 011: Letter
×Anastasia×Dear Anastasia- a bit too formal but it'll have to do. It's your old pal Vanessa. I have missed you, and it took a bit of courage for me to decide to write this letter to you. Rather than text. My mother goes through my phone these days, worried about me being cyber bullied. And although it's valid, I feel suffocated. I didn't want to talk in school because of Nona and her clique. I've had enough bullying to last me a lifetime. Firstly, I'm sorry about your parents. I understand how much they meant to you. Your siblings too. And when I found out you were alive, I was more than relieved. I was happy. I thought I'd lost you, even though your had cut me from your life. Don't worry, you're not responsible for my accident. If I'm being honest, after being disabled for a whole year, I've forgotten exactly what happened. To put it simply, I don't know how I ended up in a wheelchair. I just woke up to this one morning. Not the point. The reason I wrote this, is because I he
Blood and Roses 012: There's no day like Monday
×Anastasia×So it might be a bit of an over kill for me to be sitting outside my front door waiting for Griffin to arrive. When I got his text, I got so anxious due to the lack of sleep I didn't know what to do with myself. Thank God there's such a thing call make up, and designer clothes. They're my armor. With them I feel stronger. Protected and hidden from how truly scared, alone, and depressed I am. Once I was dressed, and covered in the only comfort I have. I packed my backpack with the items I need for today, and hurried outside. Griffin said he would be picking me up in three hours. Two hours have gone by, I should be eating breakfast but I don't feel hungry. I can only think about Vanessa, and what Monday has in store for me. Because I know things are going to get lighter. The door behind me creeks open, and I don't have to turn to know Alexis just stepped out. Her heels graze the floor, with a painful noise. "Hi," she says, crouching to my level. "Hey." "So, I need yo
Blood and Roses 013: The short talk with Vanessa
×Anastasia×I found Vanessa by one of the outside eating area, next to the schools storage room. Her wheelchair was pushed close to the table, so she could see as she ate. She must have heard my footsteps because she glances up from staring at her sandwich, and smiles when she sees me. That smile along cracks through my dam, and a stream of tears flow down my cheeks. I hurried to meet her, pulling her into a hug. "I have missed you so much." I sob, "Everyone is so mean. And so fucking bitchy. And they ruined my shoes. And god! I'm glad you don't hate me." Vanessa rubs my back, holding me tightly to offer comfort. "I could never hate you." She whispers, I feel relieved. I have no words to express it. With every one treating me like a plague, I can't help being so overjoyed that there is one person who doesn't. No offense to Luciana, she's nice, but she's still a stranger to me. Vanessa and I go way back. Her not hating me gives me the small flicker of hope that everything is goin
Blood and Roses 014: Stalkers Pt 1
×Anastasia×Hope is a funny thing. You have it, and then when what you're hoping for doesn't happen, you realize the hard truth. When we hope for something, we're really digging deep into the parts of us that optimistic. Telling yourself something like, 'i hope this job interview goes well, but if it doesn't, I'll find another one'We're lying to ourselves. When we hope for something, and it goes bad, we don't walk from it feeling completely unaffected. Because to hope, you're digging into your optimist side. You're drawing into a land of fiction where you really want something, and it may or may not happen. You want it t happen, but you convince yourself that if it doesn't, it'll be fine. And in some cases, depending on what it is, you might actually be right. And it will be fine. In other cases, the majority like mine, your hope feels like a lie when it doesn't end up the way you want. And there's a high chance your barbaric behavior towards people, might have gotten your entire f
Blood and Roses 015: Jealous
×Griffin×There are many people I despise in this world. And I'll admit it up front to any of the hopelessly naive sack of shits in this pack, I hate Theodore Roosely. The shining knight of Grimsborrow. It might confuse some people why a town like ours, and a pack like ours would have a nickname like that for a teenage boy. You see, Grimsborrow is a cursed town. The people of the pack don't have a lot of fine moments in the eyes of others who don't live here, and Theodore is the nicest person in the entire town. He would drop everything just to help someone out. I find it easy to hate him because I'm the devil of the pack, and he's the angel. But if you speak ill of Theodore, his father will ruin your entire life. And if he doesn't do that, you'd be shunned by the members of the pack. My father openly said he wished he had Theodore for a son. Believe it or not, that's not why I hate him. I hate him because he's pretentious. And we used to be best friends until he dug a knife into my
Blood and Roses 016: Nightmare
×Anastasia×I awoke in the middle of the night. Sweat dripping down my forehead, I wonder if the AC is busted. Because the room should be cold. I turned my head on the pillow, the bed was empty but warm. I could have sworn I convinced Griffin to sleep on the bed with me. I scooted further towards the end, he was laying on his side on the floor. I shook my head, and kicked the blanket off. I stretched my arms high, and yawned. I feel like I've just woken up a six year sleep. I feel refreshed, and rejuvenated. I haven't slept this well since…..Look at me, destroying my own mood. I slipped out of the bed, and tiptoed towards the door. Being careful not to wake Griffin as I turned the key to the side. Once I was in the hall, I stretched again. Last night was terrifying for me. Being followed by those men, who I'm sure the old me must have known. Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten that flashback. My memories are a mess. It's like they keep popping up one at a time, and not in complete for
Blood and Roses 017: The truck
×Anastasia×I received Griffin's text to ditch class so we could check out the truck that almost ran me over a few nights ago. As someone who valued her academic grade in middle school, I was very inclined to reject it. I would have normally told him that I wanted to keep my grades. That I actually fall under the 2% of students who enjoy going to school and studying. But seeing as the school hates me and study or not I'm still going to fail, I said yes quickly. This time, I was the one to avoid Alexis. She tried to start a conversation with me, but after my night with Dell and my nightmare, I just can't trust her. Besides she hates me, so I do not think I have to worry about her trying to talk to me constantly. When I made some excuse that I ahd to leave, she looked generally put off by my attitude. Which I found to be absolutely strange.But who cares about strange. Griffin said we had to meet at one of the town's more deserted parks. And since I still can't remember how to dri
