Beating Heart

Chapter 2: Hints

“Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real” - C.M

The familiar strong smell of alcohol and cigar filled my lungs as I made my way in the back of the place with the silver suitcase right by my side. I opened the door to find a familiar sick smirk across his face 

I sat down laying the case on top of the silver desk opening it up 

"Babe I see you get better and better in this business each time"

"Orders are orders and remember I have a name how could you forget" I fired back without losing contact and keeping my anger under control avoiding to burst at him 

"Just a complement, this is why I like you to deliver my orders personally, they always come how I want them" once again he smirked making me want to burst out knowing he always did this to make me mad 

"That's good now if you excuse me I have other stuff to do" I stood up making it clear that now it was his part to finish this

"I see your in a hurry and here you go next time I see you that attitude better start changing" 

As I grabbed the packet I walked toward the door opening it just before closing it i responded 

"No promises"

When I got home I took a long warm shower and changed into my pajamas just before going to bed I opened the door to the balcony and sat in the big white fluffy chair. The moonlight was bright and few stars were out. I always did this before going to sleep, just sit here and look at the beautiful shining stars making the night sky shine. 

~Memory~

"Honey come here your mom and I are waiting for you"

Coming, quickly putting on my slippers I ran down the hall walking in their huge bedroom, and heading straight toward the balcony. 

"There you are come here" my mom held her hands out and dad gesturing me to join the embrace just the three of us, standing there watching the night sky.

"Princess always remember when your feeling upset or can't sleep look at the sky and remember that no matter what we will always be with you, pretend your mom and I are one of those big shining stars protecting you" 

~~End of flashback~~

Tears were streaming down my face, but once again I reminded my self about the promise I made and will accomplish because if it wasn't for that I would care less about my life. I whipped my tears and head back in walking towards my bed and letting the heavy sleep take over.

I woke up with sweat covering my whole body once again but then I remembered about the whole going to school routine, I was already complaining and it's the second day for me. I got up heading straight into the bathroom, once I took a nice warm shower I wrapped myself in one of the shower gowns and head towards the walk in closet. Once I found a outfit which was a floral top with a cream color skirt, and to give it the final touch I pulled some aqua blue pumps out of the top shelf of the shoe section.

As I was coming down, like always Faye was standing at the end of the stairs but this time I noticed she had a coffee cup and a bag with cookies.

“Honey I made these for you to eat I really don’t want you to start skipping the most important meal of the day”
