Secret Desires

CHAPTER 1

  There I was, standing in the middle of nowhere, a phone was pressed against the right side of my face. I stood silently reminiscing and thinking of where and when it all came crumbling down on me like an avalanche.

  It only took a single phonecall to completely break what was left of Keith Mitchell. I wasn't sure I heard her clearly through the phone

"What did you say?" with my voice as craked up as it was and my throat as dry as I ever, I still managed to shout into the phone.

"I ran away" said my childhood friend who I had grew up with to love and cherish as my very own little sister.

"Prim you're making a terrible decision you...." I was trying to talk some sense into her but she cut me off.

"No I am making the right decision, those monsters kicked you out because of your sexuality and they even poured holy water on Dex and his baby sister, I can't stay in that house for another day, I've taken with me all the money I've been saving and my stuff" she said and I just remained silent for a while trying my hardest to explain to her that she shouldn't have left home.

"Prim look, they hate me, not you, you're their daughter, they love you" I said and she sighed heavily on the other side.

"Look, this is probably gonna be the last time we'll have any contact for possibly a long time and..." my eyes widened after taking in what she had just said.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked as my bag accidentally fell off my shoulder.

"I mean that I don't want you stopping me so I'm not going to tell you where I'm going, all you need to know is that I'll be safe..." she stopped as I also heard someone speaking on the other side but I couldnt hear the words"..my flight is about to leave, I love you" she said and before I could say anything, the called ended.

  I tried calling her back but it was no use.

She was gone

My sister left me

"I love you too" I whispered as the tears began uncontrollably rolling.

  I collapsed on my knees and just sat there sobbing silently. It had been a while since I left that house.

  It was starting to get dark and I desperately needed a place to sleep.

  I wiped my fae with my sleeve and grabbed my back before heading for the park.

........

   It was now almost eleven and I felt sleepy. I sat on a bench and took out my journal and picture of my parents'. I put the book next to me as I stared down at the picture.

"Hey guys" I started but immediately I did, the tears began stinging my eyes again.

"The Gibsons threw me out a while ago, you guys probably already know that" I said and smiled and the first tear dropped on my mom's face.

"Don't cry mom" I said staring down at the teardrop as the moonlight made it glisten.

"Dad, tell mom that she's overreacting, at least I'm still alive" I said and chuckled at my dad's face before eventually wiping off the tear.

"I miss you guys" I said grinning at both faces.

"It seems that even though you guys aren't here, you are the only ones I have" I said and wiped my face one more time before dropping the picture and taking the journal.

Hey Journ,

  You like the nickname? :D

   I don't even know how I still smile through all the pain I'm feeling inside. I'm dying and I know it but I still feel that I should at least try to give myself hope by smiling

Today's activities sum up to me being homeless again

The dickhead cheated but guess what, I was the other woman in our story. I was the illegitimate affair, I was the whore, the husband snatcher, the home wrecker.

My bestfriend left because of a secret I didn't even know why I kept.

My sister left me

    I just shut the book closed realizing that I could no longer hold in my laughter. I had been laughing the entire time I was writing.

Call it insanity or what ever

  Normal people would cry themselves to sleep but I actually laughed as I went through what happened today in my head till I fell asleep.

........

  As I slept I suddenly felt someone tap on my shoulder. I groaned and moved alot till I almost fell over but was caught.

  I opened my eyes and I saw a man, he was wearing running clothes and had earphones in.

"Why are you sleeping here?" he asked but I just remained silent as I studied his figure.

  He had some light muscles which were evident through his clothes and he had light stubble, he also had some really messy and curly black hair.

"Kid!" he half yelled pulling me out of my thoughts and I blinked a little.

"Are you homeless?" he asked staring at my bag and I looked away.

"Come on" he said and carried me bridal style before making me sit up right.

"I don't mean to pry but can I atleast help?" he asked and I began thinking about the first time I was on a park bench and a certain boy came over and tried to 'help'.

"I'm Aaron" he said and I smiled at him and outstretched my hand.

"Keith" my raspy voiced made me sound like an ogre.

"So?" he asked and I nodded.

"I live like six blocks away" he said and I didn't respond in any way hoping that my story was actually turning around for the better.

.........

  As the door closed behind me, I glanced around looking at every thing, from chairs,to tables, gently placed and arranged animal figurines that stood on a shelf, even to the clock.

"It's pretty early so you can get some more good sleep on an actual bed" he said taking my bag ad signalling me to follow him.

  We finally got to a room which I assumed was the guestroom and he dropped my bag on the bed.

"Feel at home and call me if you need anything" he paused a little and smirked as he said the 'anything' but I just shrugged as I heard him leave and the door close.

  I crashed onto the bed and just stared at the ceiling.

"Another strange man's home"
