Chains

Chapter 9: Lonely Blossoms and New Friends

Anne-Lee stood on the wall and watch Nathan prance around talking to different people. Men and Women that own million dollar company like him and even some of the girls that came just to be at a party. He drunk and sipped on his wine. For him to beg her to come to the party he sure did leave her lonely. She sighed she knew this would happen. She pull out her phone and started to call a taxi to take her back to the hotel but Swazi interrupted her.

"Cherry-Blossom? Why the plain look on your face? You look very stunning in that dress." Swazi spun her around and hugged her. He had missed his old friend he wanted to hug her as much as possible. Swazi had a mini crush on Anne-Lee. But he had always thought of them as brother and sister and nothing more. Anne-Lee giggled and hugged him back. She had needed someone to lean on and he was right here with her.

"Oh Swazi, I'm tired." Anne-Lee said as he lead her to the dance floor. She wanted to cry but she didn't want to give Nathan the satisfaction. She had been wanting to release her feelings for weeks about how she had been hurt. Her heart was heavy but her pride would always block her feelings but she never forgot about it. It would always be on her heart and mind. Day and Night.

"But you shouldn't be we are still young and vibrant,"He looked down at her she hadn't changed her facial expression. She was serious and she was hurting so he took her off the dance floor and took her to a quiet corner to take. "Anne-Lee talk to me. Are you ok?"

"I don't know," Anne-Lee had a tear run down her cheek. "I don't know what I am. I don't know how to feel. Was it my fault?"

"What are you talking about?" He had moved the little curl that was in front of her eye. He felt the pain radiating off of her we they saw each other at the office. He could already tell but he waited to see how long she would tell him and her she was getting ready to tell him whats wrong.

"Robin-"

"I'm going to kill him..."Swazi hated Robin. He could tell that he was a jackass when he first met him 2 years ago. Now he has hurt Anne-Lee which is a big no no in  his book. "Tell me what his done to you love."

"He cheated Swazi, and I don't know what I did to deserve it." Anne-Lee cried silently. The tears were hurting him. His sister is hurting and he can feel it radiating off of her. He was tired of people hurting her...he was too tired.

Anne-Lee felt the table shake and him shaking with anger. Swazi did have a anger issue problem not that the fact that he got angry a lot but when he did he didn't know how to control it.
Я собираюсь убить его слишком" He talked in Russian when he was angry."Я собираюсь разорвать его на куски."

(Translation: I'm going to kill him, I'm going  to tear him into pieces.)

"Swazi please calm down," She put her hand on his arm he had grabbed it and placed it on his heart. "I don't need you going to jail."

"Я обещал защитить вас. Я чувствую, что я вам неудачу вишни." He was fustrated some how Anne-Lee always knew how to calm him down.

(Translation: I have promised to protect you. I feel like i'm failing you Cherry-Blossom)

"I'll be fine," Anne-Lee said. "It wasn't meant to be thats all. I guess I am not meant to be with anyone." Anne-Lee pulled out her cell-phone once more to call a taxi. "I'm here for one more day! So tomorrow we will hang out all day." She pinched his cheek he was still heated. He looked up at her and gave her a smile but she could still tell that he was mad. "Calm down tonight, find me a pretend sister- in-law."

"Ok Anne-Lee, I'll be by your room by 9:00 tomorrow morning so we can spend time with each other." He hugged her wishing he could absorb his sister's pain. He walked her to the taxi and soon went back to the party.
