Jasper
I opened my eyes, but closed it right back the moment a deadly headache erupted. The excruciating pain in my neck made me wince. I wanted to touch all the throbbing parts of my head and neck when the searing pain that started on my wrists, as I moved my hand, travelled throughout my arms, making me shout in agony. Where am I? Why does everything hurt?
“Jasper.” Lucille’s weak voice brought everything back in a flash.
The man, the gun, the fight, and waking up in a dark trunk that smelled of spoilt meat and blood. I remember kicking it and p

HELPLESS April 25, 2009 Lucille It sounded like a woman going out of her mind. My eyes flew open and I immediately noticed something was wrong. My heart pounded too hard and too fast. All my senses were heightened. The stench of dried blood and something rotten invaded my nostrils. I remember waking up a few hours ago to the image of Frank with blood oozing out of his fingers while holding his genitals and I gagged. The smell must be coming from Frank’s blood on the floor. I looked at the foot of the bed and saw Corine grinding on top of a man in a sitting position, moaning with her eyes closed. Oh my god. How could they be so vile and ev

FRATELLI April 25, 2009 Boo I closed my eyes to ignore their laughter, high on cocaine, and tried to concentrate on what to do or say to them; the two psychos who found each other and were now living their darkest fantasies through us. The drug they injected us with helped spiked up my adrenaline so much even my hunger pains disappeared and I focused on finding a way to break free. My heart broke for Corine while she told us her darkest secrets, but at the same time, I also wanted to rip all her skin off using a carving knife while she screamed in agony, begging for her life. Oh, Daisy. How could I have been so blind. It all makes sense now. Corine is going to pay in prison for what she

Follow Me April 25, 2009 Jasper I opened the blinds a bit and saw it was dark outside already. Boo cursed out loud when he tried the telephone on his bedside table and found out it was disconnected. Lorenzo and Carlo told us there were only about a dozen of them assigned guarding the mansion. Two were at the end of the hallway and the rest scattered patrolling. “More are coming tonight so we have to get out now.” Carlo said, pacing the room. “Okay. We go first since they don’t know we betrayed them then we’ll signal you to come out. Si?” Lorenzo looked at the three of us, his hands were shaking. “Thank you

Life and Death April 25, 2009 (Close to midnight) Lucille I set foot in the dark foreboding tunnel and immediately grabbed Jasper’s arm. The coldness and dank stale air made it hard to breathe. Boo pointed the flashlight ahead and I swallowed hard seeing the long path with the light only reaching a few meters. The rest was pitch dark and made me think of the movie I am Legend. Like at any moment we would run into zombies lurking in the dark and waiting to bite our necks off. My heart pounded in my ears and I breathed deeply and fast, but no air seemed to reach my lungs. The tight and narrow space, only good for two people widthwise, made me dizzy. I had no choice but to hold on tighter to Jasper and tell him I was scared. He put his arms around me and I almost laughed out loud

Pretty woman April 26, 2009 Boo Last night, I left Lucille unconscious with Steph and ran with Dr. Steward to the viewing area because a nurse had paged him that Jasper was in code blue. A doctor was pushing on his chest and using that thing they used in the movies where they shock your heart. I forgot what it was called, but they used it again and again alternating with the other doctor who did the cpr. "Jas. Please fight! Come on, man. You just came back into my life. Don't leave again, damn it. Don't leave me!" The pain in my knuckles, as I hit the wall, didn't hurt as much as the crushing pain in my chest while I thought of Jasper's life slipping away. Back at the farm

Bittersweet April 26, 2009 Lucille I felt the warmth of his body on mine. And as he said sweet words that melted my heart, a bittersweet feeling overwhelmed me. I thought of how much I wanted to turn around and kiss him, but then a part of me wanted to go back to Jasper's side and wait for him to wake up. Boo let go of his tight hug and I turned around to face him, mustering up the courage to tell him how I truly felt. But the ring on his phone shocked my courage away. He excused himself and walked a few steps, turning his back on me. I looked at his tall hot figure in a black suit and sighed. If I choose Boo, would our work life

Us? We? April 26, 2009 Boo "Us?" Lucille looked at me like I was crazy. "What do you mean a house for us?" "Well, I'm just talking futurewise. I'm manifesting it. Law of attraction." "You believe in that stuff?" she scoffed. "Of course. All rich people do. That’s why we’re rich." I chuckled. I loved teasing her. "So, would you ever consider moving in with me?" "Stop joking around, Boo. You're giving me a headache." "You're still confused about me and Jasper, huh?" She looked out the

The Bed in the OfficeMay 2, 2009LucilleI've always loved movies. There's just something about them that makes me want to be that wild character or be in that beautiful place or be born in that certain time, or even be in that newly discovered planet. What I never did wish to be in were the ones with death defying actions, or the ones where someone always had to die. And yet, all of these had come true the moment I met my two rebound men. Now I have to choose between them. I have to know which one I like better. To find out which one I've fallen in love with.But I don't know how. I don't know who. I don't know what to do.Ugh! It feels like I'm writing a
