Outside NEOThree Weeks LaterMom was dead. She passed away on a quiet Tuesday night after cracking jokes and being her usual silly self. I hadn’t expected her to make it to three weeks to be honest, but my Mom was strong. Even though I knew she was eventually going to die, that didn’t stop the emptiness I felt and the silence that followed. For three weeks, I’d spent almost every waking moment beside her. Even when she couldn't really speak anymore I stayed. When she’d tell me to go when Vivian was blowing my phone, I’d tell her to fuck off. I slept in the chair beside her. Slept when someone forced me to. Mostly Daniel or Sasha when she came around. She’d called me one random day that she had the feeling something was wrong. I’d told her about my Mom and she’d immediately booked a flight from Milan to New York.I went home only when Charlie needed me. Daniel handled his school transfers and had drivers drop him off at school. But he was also mostly in the hospital with me after

After That NightNEO“I told you never to mention that name.” My hands wouldn’t stop shaking, the ringing in my ears drowning out every other noise surrounding me. My father’s calm face came into focus again. I counted to ten in my head. One. Two. Three…..“You were a child Neo, You don’t understand what happened.”The words hit me like a physical blow. A hot blinding static filled my ears, drowning out all the reasons why I shouldn't strangle this man right now. My fingers twitched beside me, my jaw clenched so tight my teeth hurt. Four. Five. Six.A hand settled on my shoulder, drawing me back a bit as I took a lungful of air and let it out. “I’m sorry Sir…but you’d have to leave?” Daniel’s voice wrapped around me, releasing me from the shackles of rage I’d been bound with. Click. Click.My eyes snapped to two people hiding behind a car. They scurried away as soon as they saw me. I rolled my eyes.Ugh. God dammit. “And you are?” My father's eyes assessed Daniel from head to t

I’ve Got YouDANIELI couldn't take my eyes off him. The boy who survived whatever was done to him. The man who chose to tell me no matter how difficult it was. My throat tightened as I observed him carefully. He’d been crying. Brushing my fingers through his silky hair, I rubbed his forehead. “I’m proud of you Neo.” My eyes met his in the dim glow of the room. “So fucking proud.”He tucked his bottom lip into his mouth, biting on it, eyes shimmering with tears. The mound on his throat dipped, a single tear trailing down from the corner of his eye. Leaning down, I pressed a kiss to his eye, tasting the saltiness in my mouth, then I did the same to the other.Neo’s mouth brushed mine again, his back arching off the bed to reach me. I had to remind myself to breathe. He was still trembling. I wanted him. God, I wanted him. But wanting Neo had never been more important than making sure he felt safe with me. So I waited. I let him decide how close was close enough. He kissed me

I See YouDANIELMy eyes followed Neo out the door to the garden where he was talking to his brother. The kid on my shoulder wouldn’t stop running her tiny hands down my face and distracting me from what was going on. I placed her down, patting her hair gently. God, these tiny creatures were insufferable. I wondered how Justin was coping with his. Neo was walking toward me just as I went out, his expression tight. Charlie followed behind him quietly. “What’s the matter?” I asked, stepping beside him, “Is everything alright?”“Mmmn,” he said, even though his expression said otherwise. Something was wrong. And he was brushing it aside, like he always did. “Uhmm, Charlie can you go wait in the car please? We’ll be leaving soon.” Neo said to his brother, who nodded and left, before his eyes flicked back to me. “Okay, what’s going on?” I asked again, as Neo strolled to the other side of the room, away from the noisy children. He sighed loudly, plopping down on the couch in the ro

When The Time Is RightNEOI sat up all night rewriting the lyrics of my rejected song. To take my mind off the ugly memories that were threatening to swallow me whole the moment I read those verses. Crossing out all that I'd written on the notepad, I tore the paper out, crumpled it, and threw it on the floor, among so many other crumpled notes I’d written before. Running my hand through my hair, I raised my head to see Daniel standing in the doorway of my bedroom, arms folded over his chest, staring at me. When did he come in? I hadn’t heard any sound. “You didn't come down for dinner,” he said, casually walking over and sitting down on my bed. He folded his hands over his knees, eyes on me. “Wasn’t hungry,” I murmured, shutting the book and placing my head on it. Footsteps made me angle my face in Daniel’s direction to see him walking towards me, watching me with those eyes that made me feel naked. He crouched beside me near the chair and desk I was sitting on. Placing a han
