letting go

tattoos ,piercings

we walk into the tattoo shop and all I thought about it was right. there was one tattoo chair and a table where a book of tattoos laid. the paint on the walls were chipping and the place smelled heavily of mold. I look over Tyler and he smiles brightly.

a girl with blonde hair walks in with a bright smile on her face. I note that it isn't the only thing on her face. she has piercings in so many places I'm surprised it doesn't hurt when she laughs .

''hey Tyler" the girl says and I could tell immediately that she likes him.

the way she puffs up her chest and smiles hard to enhance her dimples decked with piercings. The way Tyler just looks over her its clear he doesn't feel the same. I don't think Tyler has feeling for girls that go past fucking.

''where's Abaddon ?'' he asks .

''he's in the back taking a smoke you want me to call him for you ?'' the girl asks.

''thank circes'' he says.

''your name is circes'' I say smiling .

''yea its weird'' she says shrugging.

''no it's like the Greek sorceress'' i say feeling my inner fan girl come out.

she tilts her head as if she's confused.

''I don't know what that is but I'll Google it later'' she smiles and walks toward the back of the shop.

I roll my eyes and turned my head towards Tyler.

''yea I know she's not smart but she can draw''he says shrugging and a little fascinated.

''I can draw too'' I say and realize how much of a kid I sound like.

''well if you can draw so good why don't we test that'' a voice of a man says from behind me.

I would've squealed if it wasn't for Tyler grabbing the back of my arm sensing my fear.

''abaddon she has a sensitive heart can't just scare her like that ''Tyler says and both break out in laughter and doing that weird guy hug.

''so you think you can draw better than me oh please you know nothing about tattoos or drawing'' says circes.

''i mean that is your opinion but facts are always better , but I'm not sure you would know the difference'' i say tilting my head to the side.

i don't know what it is but she just gets under my skin worst than steph did. I wish i could tear all those piercings out of that ugly face of hers.

''we both draw Tyler's tattoo if both Tyler and Abaddon like it that person is the best one'' she says walking up to me.

''gladly,Tyler what tattoo do you want'' i say staring into circes eyes.

''i was thinking about an angel'' he says and this feeling overwhelms me and i look over to him.

''well start people we ain't got all day now'' Abaddon says clapping.

''damn''tyler says holding both of the drawings together.

''damn'' Abaddon says after.

''well its pretty clear who won'' Tyler says looking over to me.

''circes yours was way to...soft i mean this is really bad....compared to Eric's" Abaddon says.

''yea it just looks really unfinished'' Tyler says still looking at mine.

''but eric's is really....its just better the whole idea of the angel with all the extra details in the wings its beautiful really'' says abaddon.

''yea even though its not her idea with the clockwork angel you can se her in it''tyler says smiling.

''lets get this tatted '' abaddon say putting on his gloves and sitting in his chair.

the whole time i sat looking over abaddons shoulder watching how he put the ink on tylers skin and how tyler never took his eyes off mine.everytime he flinched or groaned he would close his eyes for a second and look back at me as i flinched to and smile still keeping his eyes on mine.i saw circes in the corner glaring at me and i decided to ignore it.after all she will get him in the end with her smile and her blinking eyes.
