Dark Blue - Part 1

#9 - You Want to Hold Me Closer, and Secretly Entice

John began to kiss along Priscilla's neck, forcing her to moan in response. He then pulled away to look deep into Priscilla's eyes. She has a single tear now streaming down her flushed cheek. With a soft touch, John wiped it away.

"C'mon love, let's get your stuff." He said as he pushed her hair behind her shoulder.

Priscilla silently stood while nodding her head. She then began to gather her clothes that she had previously worn earlier that day. Wordlessly, she began to dress.

John stood near the threshold, waiting for her to appear from out of his bedroom. Once she came near, John wrapped his arm lovingly around her shoulders and guided her out of the door.

The drive to Priscilla's house did not take long. The car ride was mostly silent until John decided to off Priscilla a cigarette.

"No, I don't smoke." She answered softly.

John puffed away thoughtlessly on his cigarette, until the reached her house.

"I reckon it's best I say in here." He said as he flicked his cigarette onto the street though a tiny crack from his open window. It was the middle of November and it already had begun to get ver cold in England.

She silently leaned over and kissed him on the lips. "I'll be right back."

Priscilla got out of the car and marched confidently towards her house. The front door swung open and her mother appeared from inside the house.

"Priscilla! We were worried sick about you!! It's 9 at night!" Ann shouted as she opened the door wide enough to let Priscilla in.

"I'll only be a few minutes." Priscilla said flatly as she pushed past her mother.

"A few minutes? Where do you think you are headed this late on a school night?" Ann now followed Priscilla as she trailed into her bedroom. Ann then began to watch as Priscilla packed a suitcase filled with various outfits.

"I'm leaving mother. I don't know when I'll be back." Priscilla said without look up from her task.

"Leaving? Like Hell you are! You're only 16 years old!!" Ann said barging over to where Priscilla stood.

"Where's Paul? I want to tell him too." she retorted snidely.

"Your father had to work late. What is this all about Priscilla?" Questioned Ann as she threw her hands in the air.

"You did this mother. You brought this upon yourself. You lied to me, you fooled me my whole life. You and father, you always controlled my every move, even my thoughts! You tricked me. I've had enough of it." Priscilla shouted as she angrily threw clothes into her suitcase.

"We've gone over this Priscilla, I told you I meant to....."

"You meant to tell me, right mother." Priscilla then interrupted Ann.

"You are not leaving this house or...." Ann began to threaten Priscilla.

"Or what?? You brought me to this hell hole, and now I'm actually having fun. You can't stand it can you? I'm not under your thumb anymore!"

"Who is this Pam girl? What has she done to you? Are you taking drugs? Are you drinking?" Ann questioned her daughter with as worry hung from her voice.

"I lied, there is no Pam!" Priscilla couldn't take it anymore. "I've met someone and he cares about me!"

"Priscilla how dare you lie to me! You have been seeing a boy and you haven't brought him here? Where is he? Is he in that car that bought you here?" Ann began to become frantic.
