Love Me In Silence.

Love Me In Silence. Chapter One.

Evelyn~13 almost 14, River~15, Heath~15 almost 16

I pressed my face closer to River's chest, a temping to block out all the screaming and crashes. He hugged me to him tightly from the small of my back. All of the tears that traveled down his trembling face, hitting my forehead. I couldn't help but to cry with him. For some reason, he shushed me, wanting me to calm down. He was crying, but didn't want me too. I pulled my arms tighter around him, and tried to have him closer yet another attempt. I kept begging and pleading for him to make them stop, the whole time knowing there was nothing that he could do. Also knowing, if there was, he would have already stopped it a long time ago. He cried harder telling me that he was sorry, he wished he could make it all go away.

I wasn't a child anymore, I was almost fourteen. I knew that this was the life that was given to me. There wasn't a single thing he could do to change that. Even if he killed to do so.

“River!” they called for him. He didn't let go of me, but he did hold onto me for his dear life. Of course I didn't want him to leave me here all alone either, yet I know that they're going to make him. I knew that all he was going to do was hurt River, I could never let that happen. River's arms slowly unwrapped from there place at my waist. As he found his way out of my grasp, I caught his hand, and tugged him back toward me.

“It'll be okay. Go back to our room, Evelyn.” he said in a hard tone. Whenever he said Evelyn, he means now and not a word about it.

I gave him a small nod. “I love you.” I whispered to him.

“Love you, Eve. Stay safe.” he ordered, and walked to them where they were waiting.

Suddenly I felt as if it was hotter than it ever was. I glanced around. Hearing more yelling and screaming, this time some was from River. He never liked it when they blamed him, just because he was the oldest. Once he leaves, it'll be me. I'm the next one in line for hell.

A flame caught my eye, as I looked up. A fire. There was a fire, in the orphanage.

Chapter One (Burn – Three Days Grace)

July 9th

I woke up with tears stinging in my eyes. I knew that I had dreamt of River. It had been over a year when they had parted us. For all I know, he could be in a different state. Our two old “Parents” went to jail. For hurting River, and for all the fighting, and throwing things. I was glad I was out, but I missed him, River. Every single day that I awoke. All because of what happened to us, I don't like becoming close to anyone. A lot of people here want to get to know there “Sister”, but I refuse, look what happened to me and River. He meant everything to me. He toke care of me, and told me everything was going to be okay, even when he and I both knew it wouldn't be, he was always there playing around we me, and helping me through a lot. I would never let another person take his spot, he was too special, and I needed him back. I wonder if he ever thought about me, or missed me.

“Hey Evelyn, Olivia wants you to come down, new guy.” the little girl, Kate, said leaping down the stairs she went. I rolled my eyes, let me be the one to tell him... Welcome to Hell!

I decided to skip the whole welcome the new kid, who cares, he's probably a little kid, and can't wait to have other kids to play with. Good for him, till he gets older. I was the oldest in here so far. Fifteen, soon to be sixteen. My birthday was in a few months. I looked out the window and looked at the trees. The trees that me and River climbed when I was thirteen. I saw the place that had burnt down. Where we had been together, and now apart. For all I knew, he was dead.
