Troubled waters.
*Flashback*"Pathetic. What is she? 16?"I hear the lady whose name I believe is Sandra whisper/yell from the other room as I look around for the bathroom. Left and then right, I let my mind remember. This place is huge, it's even bigger than his house. I walk further down the long corridor until I finally come across the right turn that leads me to the bathroom. I breathe a sigh of relief.It's only been a couple of hours and that's not even the worst thing she's said about us. I think, "She's just a plaything, he'll get over her soon enough," was just about the most hurtful, so far. Or maybe, "She's just with him for his money, he'll realize it." I can't decide.The conclusion here is that they really don't like me.I guess I didn't really expect them to but I wasn't also expecting to get so much hate from just meeting them. They haven't even bothered to get to know me, they're judging me off of my age and I think that's not fair.It sucks because I really like this guy. Yes he's a

Confessions.
He refused to believe it. It cannot have been, there was no way.It had been a few weeks since he was given the news. No name was given but a few names were implied and one name, in particular, was insisted upon.Sandra was not perfect, not even a tiny bit but she wasn't at all capable of murder. Aaron was certain of that. There must've been an explanation.He entered the elevator of the massive hospital to get to the VIP floor where his wife was. It was time to finally tell her what was going on, he had been delaying it for too long. He knew that she could sense that something was wrong, she'd probably even thought he was cheating on her. That was how bad the tension was.He closed his eyes once inside the elevator and then laid his form against the walls. He needed strength.He was sure of what his wife was going to say about the news. He was sure she wasn't going to be jumping for joy so he needed to prepare himself."Hey Deena, is she in her room?"He'd asked the sweet receptionis

Killing me softly.
*Flashback*"I love you but I hate that you're doing this to me."I say to my fiancé in frustration. I know there's no turning back now but that still won't stop me from being annoyed and complaining about it."All you're doing is going to dinner with your future husband's family, I don't get what's so painful about that.""Oh I don't know, maybe just the simple fact that said family happens to be a bunch of your ex-wives who would rather not have me breathing the same air as them."I say to him only half joking."Babe, they just need to get used to you. And how are they going to do that if they never see you?"I decide not to respond to that to not ensue another argument. I've been meeting them for quite a while now and they still treat me the same, like I'm an intruder. He knows this but he keeps on defending them. It's getting old and irritating. They are grown-ups and they need to act like it.I don't tell him all that though. I instead ask him,"Do they know?"I'm pretty sure the

Mama.
"Mom?"She thought she was dreaming. It had been so long that the woman looked completely different. She had always been very beautiful but clearly the years had been too hard on her. Like she'd been miserable the past couple of years."Yes sweetheart, it's me." Her tears were uncontrollable. She hadn't seen her daughter conscious in years. 6 years to be exact.Kayla stood up on her feet to give her mother the biggest embrace she'd ever given. The fact that she wasn't a teenager anymore didn't stop her from balling her eyes out on her mother's shoulder."Mama, I missed you so much." She'd continued to say as the older lady held on to her form for dear life. "I'm so sorry." She whispered into her ear.There hadn't been a day she hadn't thought about her daughter, despite being the one who kicked her out. She wished she could explain why she hadn't reached out all those years even though she really wanted to, there was no excuse except for the simple reason that she was human and she ba

Betrayal.
Aaron Miller was a prodigy.Even though he was known not to be messed with, he was one of the most generous beings in the country. He had countless charitable organizations on his payroll and he always did the best that he could to help out where he could.Mrs. Sinclair knew this very well. This was because she had done extensive research on the man. This was the man her daughter had run away with and she needed to know who he really was, if she had more things she needed to worry about.Even though she hated the man, she couldn't help but go through all the good he'd done in his community and the world. She'd been in awe despite her heart not wanting her to be at how incredible he seemingly was.But that still didn't overall change her true feelings about him. She hated him, more than words could ever express. Because of him, she wasn't ever able to see her daughter turn into a woman. She never got to send her to college and see her cry uncontrollably at the fact that she was going t

No saint.
*Flashback*"Seriously? You got me fired?"Words cannot explain the anger radiating within me. Yes, I wasn't the kindest person to him, but getting me fired was beyond extreme. And not only that,"I can't get any other job because you put me on some stupid list and now no one will hire me." I try really hard not to cry as I say this because I don't want him thinking he broke me or something.Of course I'd just thought to go get another job for the summer after getting fired, only to find out I'm unhirable."Sorry sir, we couldn't stop her." I hear a guard say breathlessly behind me. I asked them nicely to see their boss and they wouldn't let me so I did what I had to do. I kicked him in the nuts and then ran around until I found his office. The security team is clearly a joke here since it wasn't hard at all to find this person who's supposedly really important.I'm too busy thinking about how much of an idiot the guard is that I don't see Mr important's full 6'5 hovering over me, I'

Bruise.
"Mr. Miller, any comments on today's potential verdict?""Mr. Miller, will you be divorcing your wife after this case?""Mr. Miller, do you think your ex-wife will get jail time?""No she won't."That was something he knew for certain. The mother of his son was not going to be arrested. He knew though that answering the press was a bad idea because it only encouraged them to ask more questions. So he was hardly surprised when,"Mr. Miller...""Mr. Miller...""Mr. Miller..."He had to shut them out, all of them. For his sanity.He had a clue on what the verdict was going to be, and he knew he was definitely not going to divorce his wife but he unfortunately couldn't say the same for the girl. He knew he was going to fight though, he was going to fight for her even if it was the last thing he did. The situation they were in was beyond complicated but just like every hardship they'd ever been through, they'd get through it. They always did."Are you ready Aaron?"He wasn't. Not even in t

Marry me.
*Flashback*"Marry me.""What?""Marry me."I look at my boyfriend like the crazy person he is but I'm surprised when I don't see even a hint of humor in his eyes. So I look back at him again, now with the same intensity he's radiating through his eyes. But it's to ask him again,"What?"Aaron Miller has made a declaration, to himself and the people around him. That he would never again get married and he put that on his life. Dating him, I had to accept that we would never get past the dating point. That marriage was something I would never experience, at least not with him. I'd happily given that up because I'd never felt for anyone what I felt for him. No man had ever made my heart beat a mile a minute just by a single stare.We're now laying in bed, at 2 p.m. Something we've been doing a lot lately, mostly because it's winter time and there's nowhere else we'd rather be. But also because we can't seem to be able to be apart from each other. Wherever he is is where I want to be, a

Consequences.
Wait.Is what they were told to do.Mrs. Sinclair paced around the corridor of the familiar hospital ignoring her husband's desperate attempt to calm her down, there was no way at all that she could be free from stress in that moment, she was in complete agony.Why? Because it was all her fault, at least that was what she kept telling herself. The doctors warned that putting her under a lot of stress might do more harm than good to her already compromised state and she simply didn't listen. She just had to get revenge, and because of that her daughter's life was in danger. Again.Her daughter's life was in danger, because of something that ultimately proved to be useless.She knew very well that the system didn't quite cater much for people who looked like them, especially not against affluential beings like Aaron Miller. Shame on her for having faith and hoping that the system would prove her wrong, but an even bigger shame on her for ever thinking that her ex-son-in-law cared even t

Unspecial.
*Flashback*"I don't know I guess I've always imagined it to be a little more... special."I was never really a kid who cared much about my wedding day or the dress I would want to wear on the day but that doesn't mean I didn't want the day to be great. It doesn't mean I didn't want the day to be so amazing I would want to tell my great-grandkids about it."You know I can't love." He says to me as he packs up the things he needs to go to the office, further breaking my heart.I take a breath to calm myself down and then make my way to the kitchen where he follows me not long after.We sit in silence as we relish the omelet meal I made for us. My mind is racing but his isn't, because as always - the thing that means everything to me means nothing to him. He's sitting reading the business section of the newspaper that's hiding half his figure. I know it's not purposeful but that doesn't stop me from being irritated.Not because of the newspaper of course. I'm irritated because he's bein
