New Story Because I Will End One Soon

Title From Background

A Trigger To My Heart

Once upon a blue moon a man came into my life that will be my destruction or salvation depending on what I choose. He lives by his own rules and he broke the rules that I followed. All that I know about him is that what he wants he gets and who he doesn't like will die. He will kill those who get in his way and he well.... I'll let you decide.

During that time it was peaceful but then the crime organizations started a takeover little by little. That was when I was starting out in life at the tender age of seventeen. You see I graduated high school early and began my career as a writer. Oh I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Mia and that day set a crash course for my fate.  

Three Years Ago

"Well I'm off to my apartment now mom!"

"I can't believe that you're leaving me so soon." She says in a sad tone. Tears could be seen gathering in her eyes.

"My novel sold so I made good money off of it and now I can live on my own." I say as I try to console her. I hate making people cry.

Since my novel finally sold, I was able to move out. My mother at the time was single and had given up on finding a husband. Mom is very understanding and loved me so much, so I was leaving for my new future, I understand that she would be very sad.

"Don't forget to call once in a while young lady."

"Yes, mother dear." I say as I check my belongings to see if I had everything.

"Oh, my dear," she said as she hugged me tightly, "you're always welcome back here when something happens. Don't forget that you always have a home here no matter what." Her voice was gentle and full of her love.

"I won't, how could I?" I say earnestly. I know I will not forget.

"Oh people have ways." S

"Yeah, sure mom, well I'm off wish me luck." I say after I give her a kiss goodbye.

"Good luck and I love you." She says trying not to cry.

"Love you too mom, forever." I say with a huge smile.

I waved goodbye and started on my trip of life. The novel that was sold was called The Mystery of the Black Panther. I was inspired to write this from a neighbor who was said to have purchased one but set it free since he failed to file the proper papers. Well if that rumor was true then I haven't seen it to prove it. Though it was excellent inspiration that I needed.

The apartment that I got is about a two hour drive from my hometown. It isn't all that big but it is livable.  I also have a cat to keep me company until I can find a good suitor. Well that's going to take time, since I really haven't been all that great with men.

After a few days of living on my own I wanted to make another novel but no ideas came to me. I tried to go searching a topic, but to no avail. Soon however one day while I was walking trying to find my inspiration to write I met a young lady. She looked so depressed but before I could say anything to her she got up looked at me strange and ran off.

I did have some trouble making friends, but this was ridiculous. When I returned home that evening my apartment was broken into. Well you can say that is what aspired my next novel. Though it turned out to be a ghost story rather than a mystery and it didn't sell as good as my last novel. I did however make a good friend.

Lilly is her name. She just walked right up to me and said, "If I were more beautiful than you would you be jealous?" All I did was stare at her stupidly and say, "Actually I think that you are just more blessed with your DNA than I."

That was how we became friends believe it or not. She wanted a witty comeback from someone who thought that she was nuts and not mental.

"So your name is Mia, well Mia my name is Lily and I like your style. Let's be friends so that I can learn from your example."

"Um, Lilly I don't think that...." I started to say before she cut me off.

"Don't be nervous or shy I need a friend like you. By the way I heard that you were a writer, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Can you write about me?"

"I need the inspiration."

"Let me see here I can inspire you on that guy over there."

"What about him?"

That was the time I met someone famous.

"He acts so gentleman like I hate him. He's down right creepy."

"How so?"

"Rumor is that he is a gangster."

"That's a rumor and I don't believe everything that I hear."

"Name one rumor that you heard before and really did believe."

"Well, The election rumor on the president was that he was going to win and I did believe that one."

"You know that was a fixed race right?"

"You got me, there was this other one. It was about a man who would do anything to reach his goals and if I met that man I bet id have stories to fill up a whole warehouse."

"What did he do to get that kind of reputation?"

"Apparently he saved his own son from kidnapers and never once called the police, he never once went to the hospital for stitches or very bad injuries, and I think he did a business hostile takeover."

"Wow." It was all I could say due to the information I was getting.

"Those are just rumors and I think they are true. Some of those wounds did get a serious infection but never once did he go to a hospital."

"That must be one stubborn old man."

"Actually he was about twenty four when those rumors started."

"Amazing I'm surprised no one noticed."

"They noticed but no one dared try to persuade the "man with a death wish" if you know what I mean."

"That is remarkable."

"I'm telling you just old rumors, so that people who have too much time on their hands and nosy make up just to see the bad and not good in others."

"You read way too much into these things, you know that?"

"Well I have to read the papers. I need to keep up with the times and fashions for my novels. Sometimes I'm inspired by an obituary."

"That's nasty!" Lilly exclaims loudly. It sounded almost like she didn't take me that seriously.

"Hey whatever gets my story, I will use it."

"True. Well anyway, you have time this Friday night?"

"Yeah, why?" I ask a little suspiciously.

"Meet me at the North End Shopping Center. Come alone and prepare to get a man."

"Not you too." I say rolling my eyes at her.

"Huh?"

"Mom did that to me before as well as some friends. Sorry but when Mr. Right comes then I'll take him."

"Deal, just buy lunch."

"It's a deal then," I say laughing as I wave goodbye, "bye Lilly."

That was one weird girl that I could possibly meet, yet I did not know the other people I would soon to meet as well.
