Chapter 7: Falling apart
"You haven't told me if Veronica is coming home for my birthday." Jameson asked his wife as they packed some clothes for the shelter they wanted to donate used clothes to.
"You already know my answer. Veronica wouldn't want to return here. She says work and all but we know better." His wife replied, sadden by their only daughter's refusal to come home. She couldn't bring herself to look at the man she had been married to for more than thirty years.
She knew he adored his little Veronica, she was the light of his heart, that was why she didn't her daughter's refusal to come home. They always had to go visit her in the city if they wanted to see her.
"I'll call her again.." Betty began, not wanting to ruin her husband's mood. It wouldn't be complete for him without his daughter there to celebrate with him, even if the whole town would be present.
"No, don't bother... Veronica can be very mullheaded. She'

"Veronica! Where are you?" The voice sang cheerily?"Come out and let's play; I missed you a lot." I kept running, not even daring to look back as turned from one greeny and thorny dead end to another."Why did you leave me alone for so long? I was angry, you know. But I knew you would come back. You keep running, but I know you love me. You shouldn't play hard to get. We both know you like my loving. You run around knowing it turns me on more right. Don't worry. I am getting tired of running so save us the stress and come get some. You won't regret it."I had been running through a maze looking for a way out, yet all I found was nothing. I didn't let that stop me though. Immediately, I ran into a dead end, I would turn back and run as fast as I could go while panting heavily... All the words kept saying made me want to vomit. I held it in, not wanting him to use the sound of my gagging to locate me and nail me

Jameson had been reading a part in the bible he wanted to use for his sermon the next evening when his mother-in-law sat down beside him. Lucinda didn't say anything at all as she watched the tall trees at the back their house. Years spent living with her already clued him in that she had plenty to say. He bookmarked the page he was reading before closing the book. "And you wanted to say?" He asked. When she didn't say anything, he kept quiet and watched the trees with her. "I never tell you this much, but I am happy that my daughter married you. I am sorry my husband didn't get to accept you for her before he died. He was a stubborn mule, you see." She laughed, "I was worried that my beautiful daughter could have fell in love with the town's choirboy. I didn't see what she saw in you." She didn't speak for a while after that and Jameson didn't push. "I know how hard you two suffered to have a child. You never blamed my daughter, you were beside h

Now as I sat down, staring at my letter of application for the head of accounting, I wondered if what I was about to do was the right thing.Before I heard of the post being up for grabs,I had already been looking for a job elsewhere because I was actually not happy working at the company. The boss and most of the men at the helm of power were sexists. But the security I had working there always made me doubt the decision especially since the job market was not really promising."Hey can I come in?" Gina asked at the door. I hastily placed the letter onto my desk and told her to come in."I hope I didn't disturb you?" She asked as she took a seat not waiting for me to tell her to sit. I shook my head, "Not at all. What do you need?" Eager to get to the point so she could leave. We weren't enemies but we weren't friends either.Her lipstick looked a bit smudged, as if she had just finished kissing someone. I wondered if it was Miles or the big

"Will you calm down. You're practically peeling my skin off my hand." Hunter hissed and I looked down to our joined hands and saw my nails digging into his skin."Sorry." I apologized as I quickly removed my hand. I had decided to put today's episode behind me at least so I could enjoy the party. Cynthia and her family knew when something bothered me. Before we came here, we made a pitstop to my place and I changed from the adorable pink panda outfit Hunter bought for me to my outfit for the evening."You don't have to stop holding my hand. Just don't remove all the skin on it away or it would look ugly and you won't kiss it now would you." He teased.I slapped his arm gently as a smile worked its way to my face."The smile suits you better dear. You're going to kick ass." He assured me, taking my hand and entwining our fingers again as he held the big cake in his other hand.Feeling the n

"I already told you it was not going to end up well, what were you think Tom?" Cynthia yelled as she pressed the swab filled with spirit on his lip."He wasn't thinking, that was what." Aunt Delilah said, "That hottie should have bashed your head in.""Aunt!" Florence said in warning. She had been so disappointed in her son. She couldn't imagine how he would do such a thing."You all don't understand me. It's tough being the only male in a household of women. She played me. Told me she didn't like it when she was touched and there she was allowing that creep to touch her all over. She fooled all of us!" He continued to struggle which made Cynthia pressed the wool down on his lips."Ouch! Are you here to help me or hurt me?" He asked, pushing the swab away."If I could just smash your head in I would. All this time I have been thinking that you were a good candidate for my friend. That she

"You seem really happy." Hunter said, as we sat down for therapy that evening. Even though we were an item in the outside world. In this room Hunter was always the professional, so we compartmentalized our feelings so we could do focus on therapy. It was always Miss Mills and Hunter. The contrast between this world and the outside world was exciting. Hunter was determined to solve my problem; hence the need for boundaries... "Yes I am." I was smiling from ear to ear. "Care to tell me what is responsible for this unexplainable happiness." He looked curious, but it was the subdued form of curiosity. Not the boyfriend 'wanting to know' kind. "Well my friend Cynthia came today, and apologized to me for everything that happened between us, and we settled our issue.She's going to start sleeping at home from tomorrow." I said, feeling slightly sad that I won't be able to stay with Hunter any

As I got inside, I heard grandma singing along to Glenn Miller's 'always In my heart.'Her beautiful voice blending perfectly with Glenn's. I normally would have gone to the Kitchen, hopping on the counter as I munched on an apple, telling her about my day.But for the first time, I didn't seek her presence, neither did I want to talk to her. I had forgotten our screen door was an alarm on its own."Hey! Vero! Is that you?" She called out, and despite my mood, I knew I couldn't avoid her and go to my room, so I moved into the kitchen."Good afternoon Grandma." I greeted and walked to the fridge to get myself water to drink. My throat was parched from all the crying I did In school after I walked out of the cafeteria. I wondered if my eyes were red too."I didn't hear your car. Didn't you bring it home?" She asked as she sliced onions. Luckily, I was far away from her, so my eyes didn't sting even thou

I said I won't regret the choices I made, but I was blinded by anger, and we never make the right choices when angry... Veronica I rushed to the bar, needing something to calm my short up nerves down. Different boys were trying to get my attention as I walked by, but I couldn't care less. I needed something to wash off the bitter taste of the words I said to Lily. Having never drank beer before I wasn't aware it tasted bad so I spat the beer out directly on the guy beside me, drawing a little attention from the little crowd around. I probably would have been mortified, had I not been wearing a mask that covered most of my upper face. I began to apologize profusely to him, but stopped short when he burst out laughing. "This was just what I needed." He commented, still laughing. His weird behavior at being the recipient of warm bear coming from another person's mouth, was di
