FLAMES

Chapter 1

There a difference between being alone and being lonely.
Some days it's hard to tell the difference.

I'm always the last one standing.The world going up in flames while I stand here.Alone.

Sometimes that feels like I'm on top of the world, a good feeling that no one exists in the world but me.But when I realise that the world hasn't ended just yet and disgusting men and people do exist that's when depression really hits.

But I swear I'm okay.

Theres never a dull moment in my life, I have far too much adrenaline for that, if only you knew.Maybe you do know me, maybe I know you.But for now let's pretend we know nothing.

Or we might go down together.

Im not completely alone.I have my work partner who I'm with most of the time because well I'm mostly always at work but who likes feelings? Not me, friendly or not I'd rather not tell them I like them.

Why open up when you can just shut up right?

Have you ever experienced a death?

I have. Too many of them.And I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy.

Okay maybe my WORST enemy, motherfucker is annoying as fuck.

"Chris! Seriously please shut the fuck up I can't take it anymore jesus."

He looks up at me as he's about to take another bite of his sandwich and this time gently presses down as his attempt to make little to no noise yet fails.Again.

I grit my teeth and I'm sure he can see the pure rage in my eyes as I stand up and slam the door in his face.I huff as I close my eyes.I mean I know I can be a bitch but dude I can not take chewing noises I really can't it's just one of them things that angers me to the top.

I take my pistol out my jeans and reload it as once you re enter these corridors you never ever know what can happen.We have the highest security in the country yet you never know what people are planning on when you owe people so much shit.

I hold the gun close by my side as I walk down the miserable corridors towards my boss's room.Not my BOSS boss of course, never met that pussy in my life don't think I ever will but my other boss who isn't really my boss because he works for my other boss.

Makes no sense I know.

Anyway I get to baldys door and swing it open as I lean on the side of it.

I raise two fingers to my temple and salute him. "Sup captain, work?" I ask him with a tight grin in my face.

He shakes his head rubs his eyes "fucking hell" he whispers under his breath and I gasp holding my hand on my chest pretending to look upset.

"Wow, swearing at your workers, do I mean nothing to you? I'm hurt"

"Fuck off will you Rue, you know if I had work for you I would give it to you, now go make a pretty bracelet or something."

Oh he went there.

"Aw a pretty bracelet, maybe I'll make one out of human hair pretty unique don't you think, you gonna give any donations? Oh my bad baldy I'll have to ask someone else."

He laughs "real funny Rue get out"

"No worry's on my way, need me to do anything for you, you know sweep the floor, make you a sandwich, that sort of girly stuff or just the bracelet for now?" I ask him with pretend puppy eyes.

He stands up and pushes me out the door.I turn around to face him again and look at him with a sarcastic smile.

"Good luck" he smiles back ready to shut the door in my face.
