Nothing Above You

Three

Enzo Marcelo

My eyes open and I groan. Why does my body feel so much tired. I open my eyes completely and look around a little.

I wake up to my photo in a frame on the side table. I try to focus on the photo more but my vision is blurry. I don't remember a photo on my side table.
I slowly get up on the bed and my head feels heavy and it hurts.
I look around the room.

This place is unfamiliar. The room is white with my photos hanged on the walls. Not just some, there are many of them. There are huge photos and small photos. One whole wall is filled with my pictures. The wall that is across the bed.

What the fuck?

I get up from the bed and walk towards the wall.
"Man I look handsome." I smile to myself as I study the pictures. "Hm, so you took pictures even when I was alone, you bastard." I look at the picture where I clearly remember that I was spending my private time.

As I stand there, the door of the room opens. I see him walk in with a smile and a tray in his hand.

"Morning~" he greets like nothing is wrong here. Of course.

"Liam." I lunge towards him and grab his throat. The tray in his hand falls but his smile never falls off his face. That ugly and creepy smile of his.
"Yes, choke me. Hold me." He says with a grin and a blush on his face. This fucker.

I pull back and gain my composure. Even tho my head is heavy, I need to get out off here. "I won't stop you from drooling over my pictures, but you need to know your line. If you dare to come any closer to me, again. I will put a bullet right between your fucking eyes." I say and walk towards the door. I am stopped when Liam holds my hand. I glare at the hand that is holding me and then at the one who is daring to touch me.

"Do you have a death wish?" I speak in a dead serious voice when I take a step closer to the man.

"Why? Why can't you just love me?" Liam looks at me. For a moment, I see a sane person in his eyes but then the insanity starts creeping in again. He smiles again. His eyes and his lips, they don't match at all. His eyes are angry while his lips are shaking and smiling.

"Let. Go." I demand. He does what I say but waits for me to answer. "Tell me one damn reason to even think about loving you, Liam. You are out of your mind. You are crazy. And most of all, you are the son of my father's biggest enemy. How can I trust you."

He looks at me shocked. "How..how did you know?" He looks at me like his biggest secret is revealed. I see the color of his face leave and return.

"Do you think I'm that dumb?" I scoff. "No, don't let this affect us. We can be something..please. I didn't reach you with bad intentions." He pleads looking at me. Almost begging. His eyes are teary and his face is sad.

But still, this doesn't feel right. He doesn't feel real. This is something my heart is telling me.

"Us? There was never any "us" so don't fool yourself. If you dare to come closer to me in the future, I will not think twice before putting a bullet on your brains. This is my final warning. Do you fucking understand?" I look at him in the eyes and there it is. The look of this crazy bastard that tells me he is nuts.

His smile is creepy and ill. His eyes are so lifeless. Not a single light is there in his eyes. There are dark circles around his eyes and they look so tired and lazy.

"Oh, and that photo" I point at the picture that is on the wall. "Post it on twitter. I look good. It will make people go mad." I scoff and smirk before putting my hands in the pocket of my pant.
