STOLEN HEARTS

Luke

Same day as last chapter.

I got home from school, dreading to see my parents.

I'm going have to tell them about Nashi.

I know dad regrets kicking Nashi out, he is even more upset on how she didn't care when he did.

And mom, well...she's depressed.

She doesn't have her little girl here anymore.

Hopefully she'll be better once she gives birth to my unborn siblings.

Yes, you heard me, siblings.

My mom is six months pregnant with twins.

Hopefully, at least one is a girl.

I walked into the little cottage like house, and I see my mom lying on the couch.

"Hey Luke, how was school?" My dad asks, coming out of his office.

"Interesting you could say." I replied.

"Couch, now. Explain." He pointed to the couch mom was sitting.

I walked to the couch and sat beside mom. My mom gave me a quick, welcome home, hug.

My dad sat in the chair across from the couch.

I took a deep breath.

"I saw Nashi." I told them.

"WHAT!?!?!" Both my parents yell.

"I also saw Rosemary, Nova, Sylvia and Lily. They apparently now go to Magnolia High." I explained.

Both my parents held looks of grief.

They really miss Nashi...

I wish I could help them, but the only way I can is to get Nashi.

And that's going to be impossible.

She's stubborn, just like dad.

Nothing is going to get her to come here.

"I got some work I need to finish." My dad broke the silence.

"I'll start making dinner." Both my parents left to go do their things.

I sighed.

I went to my bedroom and sat at my desk.

Time for homework!

I took out my school books and took out my headphones.

I put an earbud in and turned on my favourite song, then questions started filling my head.

You've got a hold of me
Don't even know your power
I stand a hundred feet
But I fall when I'm around you

Why did you leave Nashi?

Show me an open door
Then you go and slam it on me
I can't take anymore
I'm saying baby

Please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart

Why did you leave, Sylvia? Lily? Nova? Rosemary?

Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart

Sylvia...

I'd drive through the night
Just to be near you, baby
Heart open, testify
Tell me that I'm not crazy

Why am I feeling like this towards you Sylvia? Why does my heart race everytime I see you. It has always been like this since we were kids.

I'm not asking for a lot
Just that you're honest with me
My pride is all I got
I'm saying baby

Please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart

What is happening? Why are you all at Magnolia High?

Would you please have mercy on me
I'm a puppet on your string
And even though you got good intentions
I need you to set me free

Please...

Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart

Tell me...

Consuming all the air inside my lungs
Ripping all the skin from off my bones
I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
I would gladly do it twice
Consuming all the air inside my lungs
Ripping all the skin from off my bones
I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
I would gladly do it twice

Why?

Please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy on me
I'm a puppet on your string
And even though you got good intentions
I need you to set me free

Why are you making us suffer?

I'm begging you for mercy, mercy
Begging you, begging you, please, baby
I'm begging you for mercy, mercy
Ooh, I'm begging you, I'm begging you

We all miss you...

Please, come back.

Hell yeah! Two chapters in one day!
