Chasing After Her

Chapter 8

"Here they come one by on and the light grows dim,the one who would take you down,are moving out they're closing in,so out of the trenches,I'll drag my body one more time,right to the final push and hold the line,I'll be the last one standing,you'll never take me down,they can fall all around me,still I'll hold my ground"

"I don't need anyone to love me".

That same saying from Carla has been running through my head all night.

How can someone so sweet, caring and loving say such bad things about herself.... Something doesn't seem right.

I look over to my left and see Carla and Alexander sleep.

They went to sleep about an hour or so ago,after everything that happened,Carla just feel asleep,but Alex looked as if he couldn't keep his eyes open long enough so he went to sleep after Carla.

That was just something in Carla's tone making it seem as if someone has hurt her,and hurt her badly.

When she was talking she seemed weak,heartbroken,and there was pain was laced in her voice.

I just don't understand who would want to hurt her.

Who....could hurt her?Her mother and sister?

I remember when we were younger and me and Alex,would go over her house all the time and her mother would just go on and on to our mother about Amelia.

Something didn't seem right but hey I was only 8 at the time you can't fault me for that.

But I should have paid more attention to Carla and maybe just maybe she could see herself in the way we see her and that is beautiful, loving,sexy,caring,compassionate, and did I say sexy.

I just want to show her that life is not all bad,I mean of course you go through ups and downs but that makes you into who you are.

And that's where me and Alex come in,Carla won't know what hit her.

And I know the perfect place to take her out and get her out of her shell and see the brighter side of life....especially with me and Alex in the picture.
