Dating The Devil

Tears

I walked up to the street leading to the pub. I had closed from work and I wanted some company. Things were still not smooth with my step mom. Since the day I yelled at her, she had not spoken to me. Everytime I greeted her she gave me that scary look of hers.

Her son, I mean my step brother, was coming back from Finland this week after completing his first degree in Helsinki University. He was no different from his mom. I remember the first time we met, this guy scared the hell out of me. And for the record, he almost raped me when he came home last vacation.

Both of them in the house was going to be like dining with the devil and his secretary. I really had a lot of tolerance for those two.

After what happened last week, I thought she wasn't going to step on my nerves again, well she had surprises up her sleeves for me.

I called Edmund and he came to walk me home. It was fun being with him. His jokes were always so hilarious. I felt so good anytime I was with him. I had not forgotten about Flynn. He was always at the back of my mind. I just didn't want give him false hope. I couldn't date him and that was it.

Edmund and I walked down the street leading to my house. I didn't want trouble with the witch in the house so I asked him to go back to work so I could walk home alone.

He looked left and right then gave me a kiss on my lower lip. That wasn't bad. I just smiled and continued my walk home.

I was so lost thinking about the kiss, I didn't realise people screaming around me. They screamed whenever they saw something extraordinary. I wasn't interested today.
I smiled to myself when I looked up and saw Edmund in front of me smiling. Then he vanished.

Was I dreaming? I turned around and saw the commotion behind me. I became alarmed. I ran back and saw the biggest tragedy I'd ever seen. Edmund had been hit by an articulator!

He was barely recognizable! God, what had I done? I led him right to his death. How could this happen? I couldn't believe it! No! No! No! No! No! This could not be happening.

I was lost for words. Tears flowed freely down my face. I couldn't control them.
I met a guy three days ago and he was gone! Everything was just wrong!
Noooooooooooooooo!

Then everything went black.
