Tall Tales

Chapter 5

"Last night, Tomas Shafer was found dead in a shallow grave. He was 21, with light blonde hair and approximately 5'9. His family say that he was a bright young man with a loving girlfriend and a one-year-old daughter. His funeral will be set for Monday at nine. This is your local news for Riverwood. And I am Amanda Parks." I only heard what she was saying not processing it. A 21 year old killed. In our small town. A place where everyone knew everyone. Nothing like this has ever happened. Like I said this is a very small town. "Who would do this?" I asked myself. I stood up and walked into the bathroom and finished my makeup. I decided to wear a long sleeve floral print shirt and faded skinny jeans with Addis that are white with three golden stripes on them. And I added my mom's engagement ring. "Hey, Mac, I'm not feeling great so I'm skipping so you need to drive yourself. But be careful!" Jace said wrapping his arms around me . I nodded my head and walked to my car.

"Kill them with kindness! Kill Em Kill Em!" I sung as I entered the school's parking lot. I turned off the small sliver Volkswagen that I drove. Peyton was at my door waiting for me."What happened?" She asked concerned."Mental breakdown and got beat up." I answered in a casual tone. But I was worried she was going to be mad."Well go thing we're not going to school." She said. Just then I realized that we are walking to her 2016 Charger. I didn't argue nor did I agree but I continued to follow her and get into the car."So Sin," She started. I completely forgot about him. We haven't spoken in at least two weeks. Now I feel bad. I liked him so much, he must think that I don't care."Marcie!" Peyton snapped. I looked towards her with wide eyes."Were you listening to me? I said Sin is back and I'm taking you to see him." I don't know what to say, so I nodded my head and waited to see him. Maybe he won't hate me, or be mad. Maybe.

"Marcie." Peyton spoke while rubbing my arm. I opened my eyes and looked around. We were still in her car ,but we are outside of a big house. The full front of the house is glass. With wood accent dividing it."There he is." I said pointing at Sin who is standing on the porch."Bye-bye." I said getting out. I didn't wait for her to talk."Sin." I said as he picked me up and kissed my cheek."I missed you ,Doll," Sin said looking at me up and down."Want the hell happened?" He said in a dark tone. He is looking at the bruises on my face and knuckles."Mental breakdown and I got beat up." I said. Sin put me down and lead me inside."So let's start with the breakdown." Sin stated. I sat down next to him on the couch. I took in what he is wearing as I thought about what to say. His shirt is a cutoff making it into a loose muscle shirt which made the arm holes a deep cut; allowing me to see a part of his side ,so from the view I could see a tattoo. He also is wearing a lip ring. "I hate myself," I started "I have for awhile now, my family doesn't notice it. But I can't help it. Mom is bipolar, one day she is leaving bruises on me and the next she is sweet! She is fucking Aaron! She only cares about Jace!" I yell. I feel anger. So much anger."Dad doesn't even care! No one really cares that is a lie used to gain trust, something I give way to easily." I fell over on a Sin."Doll," he said softly "I do care, I will always care." I hugged him tightly. Sin is such a good thing in my life. I can't let him go."Come here." He said getting up. I followed him to a closed off room."Is this where you explain your weird sex habits or the part where you kill me?" I asked jokingly. Sin stopped just to laugh."Either." He said as we walked in. This room holds knifes, guns, and other weapons." So the kill me part." I said as I walked close behind him."Marcie, I fight. Not like illegal or professional,but when someone screws with me or my family they pay. So I'm going to teach you to fight." He said while wrapping a white band around his hands; then mine."Boxing tape." He said after he finished. We went to another part of the room that was for boxing. Sin climb into the ring then pulled me up in it too. We started on kicks. Then went to punches.

"Here." I said as I handed another knife to Sin and he hit the target easily. I am sitting on the table handing him the knives the throw."Dang you look hot right now ,Doll." He said grabbing my waist and kissing me. This one being long and sweet."I won't let you get hurt again." He mumbled with his head in the crook of my neck. I ran my fingers through his hair and laugh as he made a purring sound tickling my neck."What?" Sin asked innocently as he made the sound again."Try it," he encouraged me. Once I did I sounded like an cat dying then being sent to hell. Sin and I started laughing."Thank the Lord he brought me you." Sin said as we sat on the small table."Oh hang on!" I said and grabbed a red pen off of the table. I took his hand and placed it on my thigh. I started drawing a red heart on the corner of his hand."All done." I said happily. He looked at it and kissed me."Thank God." He said. I nodded in agreement."Can you stay the night, pretty please? For me Doll?" Sin spoke softly and convincing me to call Peyton.
Peyton: Hey Gumdrop
Marcie: Cover for me I'm staying with Sin
Peyton: Okay don't have sex *wink wink*
I smiled and told Sin I can stay."Wait you need clothes." He said while walking up the many stairs. We reached his room which is a navy blue and has dark wood ,but  either of those features made the room look small. It's huge, it also has a walk in closet that Sin went into."Uh, this is the smallest thing I have." He said handing me shirt and boxer shorts. I went and tried them on."Well uh okay." I said looking at the shirt. It is more like a dress that ends at  mid thigh."Dang that looks nice." Sin put down his phone and pulled me on top of him. So now we are laying on his bed with me on top."What's your tattoo?" I asked as I traced the pattern on his shirt."I have several." He pulled up his shirt to reveal them. One ,on his side, was a quote that read "oh my daring, it's true. Beautiful things have dents and scratches too." I love that but there is one on the waist band of his sweat pants. He folded over the band so I could see it. It is three nails with dripping blood and has a 3-D shadow effect. Then on his other side his has a  yin yang."Why a yin yang?" I asked pointing at it "Oh, it's a brother thing." He said looking at it."I didn't know you had a brother." I stated "Yeah he ran away years ago when we were 15, we got that before he left." I laid my head down and thought about everything."So, do you have a secret tattoo or anything to show your rebel side?" Sin asked."I have a tongue piercing." I said. Sin's looked at me in shock."I like piercings, like your lip, I really like that." I said making him freeze ,but he quickly got over it."Really now? Do you like this then?" He asked then rolled over ,so he was on top, and began kissing me. Of course, I kissed back. He licked my bottom lip asking for enteric which I gave him. His tongue explored my mouth ,he was also making it clear that his piercing was in. When we finally stopped our breath was gone."Let's build a tent!" I got up and signaled him to do so to."A tent?" Sin asked cautiously "Yep, a tent," he laughed and looked at me."Don't you mean a fort?" He asked as he got the pillows and blankets off the bed."Yes, a fort." I corrected myself "Let's do it then." Sin said happily.
