THE DEVIL IN ME

An awakening

"It was a sunny day the sun shone so brightly that the shades on the ground we're as dark as ever, I slipped into my dress and it brought out my features, the stylist had done quite a number on me and my make up was not heavy but wasn't stopping it self from having it's elegance, I took the flowers and went out of the door, I was so excited and nervous that I felt it sicken my stomach, I had my life planned out perfect man, perfect job, perfect income, perfect everything, I entered the limo and then I played Marron 5 locked away, it was a grand ceremony, at the altar before God and man, he looked me in the eye and said to me, "tell amo, Sally you're the best friend I could ever have and I promise to make you happy till the day I die" we had a grand ceremony a few weeks later he started drinking and smoking, bringing different girls and having sex with them on my bed, MY bed, the worse part was that one got pregnant for him and then he Brought her to our house and she gave birth from legally wedded wife u turned to Nanny and the lovely girl was taught manners I did my best to make their child a mannered girl. Two years after we got married I have my little Paulino and Paulette, he changed and he'd beat up my Paulino and started Paulette when I was home it was hell long story short he killed my love for him and ran away with my best friend leaving the girl and I to write our own fates with he's children, look Liz don't ever make your past define you if you do you'll go crazy" she took a second and left Liz think, she'd been silly all along it was her dad that told her Bradley died himself, then why the fuck was she still thinking he'd come from the great beyond to get revenge, now Sally was right her brain was trying to give her a massive fright and stupid her she was falling for it. How stupid she was and the worse part she caused her family and friends pain.
Few weeks later, she returned to her normal self not letting Bradley Hamilton cloud her thoughts. She still wanted to know who the freak in the hoodie was so she had gone to the same mall, but there was no luck, she tried again several times a week and something she wouldn't buy anything so she'd asked lance to follow her so she could try again at least this time with all characters present she hoped, there he was in he's marine blue hoodie he sat there coincidence really she thought, but this time fear wasn't an option she'd sprung into action and soon after had left Lance, "come on you hoodied freak take the fucking bait" and he did he followed her to the back of the mall where there was a dead end, she quickly hid behind the dumpster and heard the guy talking, "Boss, I can't find her, it's like she just disappeared. Okay boss I'll get her" he had put the phone down and then she jumped him "who da fuck are you, and why are you hell bent on ruining my life" she Brought out the small pocket knife she had hid earlier and then just under a breath, she had he's back against the wall and he's hands up and she had rendered him powerless, "who are you, I asked you a question, so answer you bastard" she said impatiently making him tremble in fear then she pulled the hood down to see it was a complete stranger, "I'm Norman I was looking for money when my friend directed me to a guy he's name, he's name was Lance ummm Lance Grimm and he had hired me to run you mad sating something like he didn't want to marry someone with a past like yours", "Liar say the truth you fucked bastard or else I'll kill you and believe me when I say I know what prison like" she yelled after he's confession, "I swear I'm telling the truth, I swear on my dead mother's grave I'm telling the truth don't kill me my son he's me and I need him, please" she could sense the honesty in he's words and couldn't help but feel her heart rip and she spoke "quit working for him and I'll pay you double the amount" he agreed and they part ways never to see each other again, she returned to the mall and didn't act like anything was wrong she would be so foolish to believe a random stranger would she? What if he was telling the truth? What if Lance really didn't know how to tell her and everybody else he didn't want to be with her? This was a mystery she wanted to solve. Later that night she transfer the money to Norman  and went to be and after that day she noticed the whole melodrama had stopped. Days turned into weeks and soon Liz and everyone else at her college found themselves studying for the year's last exam, the exam process wasn't a short one and wasn't that long and before any one knew it she had finished the graduation ceremony was just a formality. Her life had turned into a dream the day her dad took her in as the new PA so she could learn the ropes of being the boss, this was finally what she wanted. After a few months Lance started acting up but she had noticed it during the holidays when the company had gone on break cos of the spirit of the season, Lance didn't seem to be himself, so she thoughts it would be best to talk to him about what ever was wrong. She drove to his house and opened the door with her spare key, as she entered she heard noises, she walked up the stairs and saw Lance having a three some with girls she had never seen. They didn't notice she was standing there, so she stood, although she was hurt she hadn't been surprised this only proved why he was acting up and in a flash the thought of Norman popped up in her head, what if she was over looking the obvious that Lance really wasn't the guy she had thought he was? All the questions flashed through her head, she had been so lost in thought she didn't notice that Lance and the prostitutes were staring at her, the clearing throat sound that came from Lance spanned her out of her thoughts she didn't say a word and just left, when she got home she went straight to bed and ignored all the texts and calls from Lance, she was in the mood to even reply to he's texts not talk of hearing he's voice, 'to be honest' she thought 'why the fuck am I sad or hurt I've never been lucky in love, the only person that ever loved me more than I loved him is in his grave, the other lover was a deranged lunatic that also lost he's life and the last one was cheating on me, so if I must say my kinda love story has two dead men and one cheating bastard, guess love wasn't made for every one, well even if I'm not gonna let that stop me' the words flashed through her head like her brain was finally awake and was telling her heart that it was done being in charge.
