Apart

Paul

"You?, I would have never expected the person to be you Max" I could not believe my eyes the person in front of me was Max the person I treated as my brother sure because of business I have not been able to meet him as frequent but we were together since kindergarten and the most important question is why did he do this? he knew I am in love with Daisy yet he did that, could it be because he knew how heartbroken I was and took an act of revenge yet that does not give him any right to treat Daisy like that; there are so many questions browsing inside me. "You know him?" one of my peers asked me "Unfortunately I do," I said with anger whenever I made eye contact with him "What do you have to say for yourself?" I asked him but really I wanted to punch a hole through his heart "I liked Daisy way before you did" he said as spit his blood on the floor "What?" how did I not know about this I do not have a brother code moment here but I couldn't understand why would he go this extreme to have her and since when was he all psycho for her that he kidnapped her to keep her all to himself, my anger went on the next level I could not stand him even for a second all I keep picturing is Daisy in danger and all the bruises he gave to her. "I don't want to hear it. She is my girl and no one touches her" I said out loud and the room became silent at first I could hear Leo, Enzo, and Rufus making a fuss about how I knew him but that is not the point here. "It is funny that you say she is your girl but did your "GIRL" mention she had a stalker for the past few months" he laughed as he was saying but there was a truth there she did not mention any stalker to me she always seemed happy around me and how did I not notice she was in trouble; the only thing she shared to me was about Usher I made sure he cannot step in this city in his lifetime. He continued "I have been following her since forever but when I got to know that she is dating you my obsession with her increased with a touch of haunting her to death but it did not stop her she was acting brave when I met her in Jenny's party I had her then too but you came and she had the courage to fight me that just instigated me" as he was saying all these things I was busying connecting the dot and everything was falling into place "I kept sending her photos of her in every opportunity I got and that spooked her even when she was around you, do you remember you guy were having a nice little date but she kept looking around? that was me" I punched him right in the face and one of his teeth fell out and he kept laughing and smirking "I wanted her to know that I am always around and she is never safe no matter who she is with" I took a hammer and a nail and bash into his knees. He was in pain I loved that I could not think how scared she would have been all this time but I wanted to know the reason why she didn't tell me about this, did she think I wouldn't be able to protect her? "You think this would stop me? the answer is no my friend opps... best friend. I continued tormenting her plus she had a soft spot for you so I threatened her that if she told about you or anyone their life would be in danger that worked for a while but then she moved. I could not find her anywhere but then luck was on my side I spotted her in the supermarket and I followed her and came to know the new address she is staying and good job to you too, you made sure she was staying in a world-class place with the highest security possible" I took a knife and slashed it on his face, he screamed this time I enjoyed it more than ever then I took a chair and sat in front of him "You will pay for this but I am enjoying how much pain you are in as I am telling you this fairytale. One of the nights I saw you going to some shady parking lot and spotted you with Jenny and clicked some portraits of you with her and when the time came I sent it to Daisy and as I expected she broke up with you because well the world knows you used girls as much as I wanted to deflower Daisy but I left her alone as she was in pain by losing you but for me, it was more like showing her not trust anyone and she made a mistake by trusting an asshole like you, everything was going as usual but then I saw her in front of your house I immediately knew she was going to you then I couldn't control myself and took her away".

I was done listening to his stupid fairytale of a story now it was time for him to see what happens when anyone eyes my girl I stood up and took the chair and smashed it on him lucky for me some of the chair parts were stuck to him which I loved and although I had many tools laid out for torture I took the matter in my own hands, "You think you will get away from this? but I have a piece of bad news I will let you live but you wish you were dead" I beat him until every body part of his didn't start to bleed and he had the audacity to say "You are doing this to me for a girl? how pathetic" I just was adding fuel to a fire I could not control the look on his face he was enjoying seeing me and Daisy apart so the next thing I did was take one of his eyeballs out "How you like that huh" it was a question he was in agony but I was not satisfied the things he did to Daisy is unforgiving "You know I saw her" I didn't quite grasp by this then he looked dead in the eye and said it which means he saw her naked and this time I hold his jaw ripped it open. The guy there was not trying to calm me down which was good because I would destroy anyone and anything that would come in my way, I took a hammer and laid him down and started crushing his legs until they felt like jelly then I heard Leo "Williams you got a call" this was not the time I could attend anyone I simply ignored him and continued bashing him "It is Daisy, you sure you don't want to attend this?" I stopped as soon as I heard it was from Daisy I left everything behind and took the call "Hey sweetie you are up, how are you feeling right?" I asked her as if I hadn't beaten this man to death well he was alive but dead to me "I am fine I want to talk to you. Can you come to our house?" she asked me but I focused on the word "our" "Wait you are not at home?" I asked her, if she was in a condition to be moving around like that and what are the girls thinking? they left her all alone "Yes I will be there" It didn't take me a beat to answer that. I was done with Max, I guess my anger would have not gone away if Daisy hadn't called me but I had one last thing to do I took Max and drove town out of town and left him there.I drove as fast as possible to meet Daisy the whole car ride all I could think about was how she said "our" Does that mean what I think it means? I got there in the blink of an eye, and my heart was beating fast I had no idea what was going to happen but I was going to see her which made me happy I wanted to know that she was okay also I wanted to tell her that now there is nothing to be afraid. I was standing in front of the door of her apartment I knew the lock combination but did not have the courage to get in there just like that I rang the bell and she opened the door I still stood there but she pulled me and closed the door behind and all this time I just was staring at her and out of the not so ordinary she kissed me, she was desperate for me, she wanted me, she needed me, I was her oxygen, her source of life. she down and saw blood on my hands and before I could explain that to her she said "I know now I have nothing to worry about and that perp would probably leave the town right? just like Usher?" I smiled at that time but I knew it was Rufus who said that to her but that didn't mind me at all, now all she had to do was focus on herself and her future plans "Are you okay?" I asked her and she hugged me and said "Now I am" I was so relief by these words that she took me to the couch and started explaining the whole thing "I don't know how it started but you ended it and I am really thankful for that also I should let you know that he was the one who sent me that photos and that is why I broke up with but why didn't you explain yourself? Oh, wait I did not give you the chance maybe that is why but you did not come after me or anything I doubted you I feel terrible about it I love you so much but the thought of you being with any other woman just baffles me and I cannot stand it.." she did not stop for it she was continuously telling her side of the story without taking a breath I knew she wanted to come clean about everything but I know she doesn't have to explain everything I am done with all these lies and secrets all I want is a fresh start with her and I hope the kiss was the indication of that if it is not I would still insist and we should because when I was not with her my life had no meaning, with her my life is full of color and rainbows and I love everything. I looked at her and asked her "Can we get back together?" she looked at me and said "I kissed you as soon as I saw you dumbass I obviously want to be with you but you need to promise you won't go around parking lot from now" she made a puppy face yet she had that spark of sarcasm coming out of her, "I want to you tell you something, I know we are back together now but I don't know if you know this but that asshole jerked in front me and he ripped my clothes off there" she continued telling me everything in detail which raged me I should have not let Max live but I will handle that later "You don't have to explain yourself I am with you and I love you no matter what, I am here for you and I will protect you from anything and everything you just need to tell me" she took a sigh of relief and was in my arms the entire time. We both talked about our feelings for one another and I wanted to show her how much she meant to me I think she might have read the letter but no letter can do what in-person confession can so I took her bed although she had tinkles in her eyes I knew she still needs to rest and by sitting the couch and talking won't help her condition and just like that my life came back to me  I said "Every day, my love for you grows stronger. I am completely addicted to you, and you are the only drug that keeps me going right now. When I look into your eyes, I see the real myself, a person who is now driven by a goal and a purpose. I'm not sure how to explain my emotions to you because I wasn't myself when I first saw you. I've seen amazing beauties in my life, and I've learned how to look at them once and then walk away. But with you, everything has changed. I believe you will understand. I want to preserve you as the flower I'm in charge of caring for. Being with you feels like being in paradise. I will take this obligation seriously if you are wholly mine. Wait there is no doubt that you are mine and mine entirely for life" As I was conveying my feelings she fell asleep I kissed her forehead and said " Rest now kitty we have our whole life" and tucked her in.
