The Emptiness She Holds

Her

Chapter 7: Her

By the time I was finished jogging I was panting for breath. I wasnt used to running because well DUN DUN DUN I was locked up for 3 years only thing I could do in juvie was pull ups on my bunk bed ladder and push ups in the courtyard aswell as the weekly brawls..

I was tired and sweaty I knew it was time to head home

But first I should take a quick stop at MCDONALD'S BABYYYY

King of fast food and ur dead ass wrong if you say other wise *CUE EYE ROLL*

I know I just worked out this pretty lil body but mama HUNGRY

I grabbed my hair and redid my pony tail since it came slightly loose from me zooming through the forest earlier

I jumped on my bike and speeded out of there looking for the closest McDonald's

the song Thunder by imagine dragons was playing in my helmet and I was singing along while I got some weird looks from the cars around me

Oh well I know their lives are stupid and boring while mines is just PEACHY

*incoming call*
*incoming call*

My helmet sounded

Who tf dares to interrupt me and my mus-

*mom is calling*

Oh shizzzz

"Answer"

Then I hear my moms screeching voice

"Blaire where the hell are you!?"

"Um on earth " I said bluntly

"Now is not the time for jokes you said you would be back an hour ago" she said firmly

"Well we both know I dont mean everything I say" I said coldly annoyed that shes changing a bit ever since she married mr asshat

The line went silent on the other side

I sighed loudly "I'll be back soon" with that I hung up and finally caught a McDonald's

I went through the drive thru and ordered a meal with a mango smoothie

Then I made my way home

•••

"You saw me this morning children " I said sarcastically as the guard at the gate stopped me to question me

I sent him a glare after my comment and he backed away shaking visibly

I rolled my eyes as he opened the gate and let me in

I drove all the way to the driveway and parked it before hopping off with my McDonald's in hand

I went up the stairs and opened the double doors

I walked inside and noticed the brothers coming down the stairs all dressed up

I ignored them and went to the kitchen

"Where the hell have you been" Elias the eldest spoke

I ignored him and took a drink from my cup.

It was silent and the tension was thick in the air

All of a sudden I felt a pair of hands grab my neck and slam me towards the fridge dropping my McDonald's In the process

I banged my head on the fridge hard and immediately got dizzy

"Answer when I'm speaking to you" I heard Elias yell loudly

This bitch wants to throw hands

I snapped and brought my knee up hitting him in the groin and then elbowing him in the gut

He stepped away trying to breathe and I continued forward grabbing him by the hair and smashing his head against some pots that were hanging above the sink

"Dont tell me what to fucking do" I mocked him in the same manner before letting him go as his brothers stood stupidly in shock watching everything

I put the cup in the sink and walked up stairs and towards my room immediately going to my bathroom and stripping my clothes off

I looked in the mirror and saw that some blood was trailing down the side of my head

Those fuckers

I took my jewellery off and jumped into the shower turning on the cold water and carefully soothed my head trying to avoid the wound

I winced when I came in contact with it and parted my hair away from the wound then I slowly let the water cascade down on my head and body washing the blood away

Once I cleaned it I got out and parted my wet hair and wrapped it in a towel and then I went straight to the aid kid and grabbed a patch of cotton and then bandaged it on the wound before taking out my blow dryer and drying my wet pieces of hair

I walked to my closet and slipped on a casual outfit since it was still daylight I decided to wear an oversized shirt and black cargo pants with some socks

I went to my room and took out my canvases and paint brushes I brought with me

Gee I wonder where they were headed I thought back to how my step siblings were dressed

I shrugged it off and brought my canvas downstairs and then outside to the porch where I set it out and took out my pallet of paint

I thought of anything random and my mind went straight to the woman who appears in my dreams once in a while

It was freakish because she looked just like me

Freakishly long blonde hair with the highlights of those charismatic green dazzling eyes that made me want to dance in the forest

She gave me a sense of warmth

Rhys has been investigating what happened years ago...I know that my dad wasnt the only one involved in the beatings because sometimes a woman with brown eyes and chestnut hair appears and shes carving a knife down my thigh and then this mysterious woman is defending me

Ever since I got in a car accident at the age of 10 i was left with some of my memories gone the doctors said it was my brains way of protecting me from the trauma.

My thoughts go back to the mysterious woman and I start with the background where I always imagine her in

It's a river and shes sitting on a rock with her feet dipped in it and her head facing upwards towards the sky and she was looking happy

I remembered some distinctive features about her like the light freckles on her nose and her dimples showing as she smiles

Especially the angel wings on her neck that I ironically also have

I paint for I dont know how many hours until my wrist starts to hurt and I look up from the canvas for the first time and realize I'm still outside as I watch the sun go down

Sighing I wrap it up and cover the painting with a tarp and head upstairs and straight to my room where I place the painting outside the balcony and make sure its positioned in a spot where if it rains it wont get wet

Then I head inside and wash my hands and a few places where the paint splattered. I still wonder...who she is

<~>
