Without You

19

It really upsets me and I'm basically upset at myself for being so naive and gullible as I have been in the past as far as being intimidated by the stylists with the wardrobe and the hair-do's and the poses and the this and that and all that stuff that isn't me.

What it does is it makes you an image, and they plaster you on all these magazines and sensationalize and they're all very nice and sweet and goody-goody but still, it's just false as far as, you know, the image that's portrayed; it's not me.

Jade walked slowly towards the broken ruins of Joaquin's home. She pushed the door open but jumped as it snapped off and fell towards her with a thump, That echoed throughout the house. Jade looked around the bottom floor of the house, checking to see if River was anywhere to be seen, luck wasn't on her side at the moment as it could be seen.

Jade continued to look around the house with caution to make sure that she didn't bump into anything to make more noise, but also to check that no people, like those in the BMW were lurking around.

Jade started to head for the stairs when she heard a clash and smashing of glass bottles.

Jade ran up the stairs and followed the sound to a room where River lay.

His skin and complexion was as pale as snow. His clothes were torn and his hand was cut by the glass that lay beneath him. Jade healed beside him and gently lifted his head onto her lap.

"River..what happened here".

"L...leave Jade".

"I knew you would come, Jade".

Jade gently laid River back down and got onto her feet. She shivered at the deep, husky voice. She trembled whilst turning round, to be faced by a bulky looking gentleman.

His suit fitted him perfectly, his greasy hair was combed to one side, showing his hairline. His jaw was sharp enough to cut anything.

Jade took a small step back, making him take a step forward.

"W..who are you?"

"My name is John, I am a friend of your fathers. Unfortunately, we do not meet on the best of terms".

Jade took another step back.

"What do you want with me".

"Information".

John grabbed Jades wrist and pulled her beside him. Jade tried to release herself but his grip was like titanium, unbreakable.

John pulled her out of the house and waited before two other men, just as bulky, walked  into the house and came out again, dragging Rivers lifeless body with them.

Jade tried to go after them to check up on River but John's grip only tightened further, making Jade breath heavily and hiss in pain.

"I wouldn't try that if I were you" John whispered.

Jade relaxed herself, allowing him to loosen his grip.

"Come on Jade, let's sort this out".

"As adults"
