Where the winds would take me

5 : Two people I like

Okay.

I loved my family. We were all nice people. Kind of.
But if I had a chance to choose my life from the scratch,none of them would have been here.
We were people who were put together by God, if you'd believe that, but even that couldn't bring us closer. There seemed to be invisible walls dividing us miles apart from each other even when we were at arm's Bay.
We were each other's but we weren't there for each other. Mostly.
We loved each other because of our role in other's life  but we didn't like each other to love beyond those roles.

Even my first memory of my dad was me going to hug him and him politely getting me off him. It felt like my heart broke in two that day. Whatever he'd do now, for better for worse for me,I'd always be reminded of that memory. I would never be able to shake that off.
I'd felt since then that he might actually not like me.

My mom was- , well let's leave it for other day. It'd get too long otherwise.
And I had a sister too.

Meh.

I got quietly inside as no one was home. Our ‘home’ never actually felt like home. There was just something about this place or about all of us combined that made it ‘not home’ home. It was basically just a house we all crashed in at night.

I slightly tiptoed to my room on the first floor through stairs. Old habits die hard.

I got inside the room and after debating with myself about having a big bath, I had one and then i trodded downstairs to make myself something to eat.

I'd like to thing about myself as a weird chef. I didn't experiment with a lot of things, but whatever I'd make would turn out pretty decent in the first try. Really. Sometimes the things I'd make wouldn't look that good on internet but it'd turn out to be pretty decent.

I decided to make sandwiches out of mashed potatoes, onions and bread left in the fridge. As I'd predicted it earlier, it turned out to be pretty decent one too.

Now I'd only one thing left to do.

Pick out my outfit for the match.

I took out a red tank top with blue jeans and donned on a black jacket. Not real leather because animals did nothing to offend me and even if they had-

Actually animals did do something to offend me.

More like birds did something to offend me.

When I was like maybe five or six, I was sitting outside having a carrot and then suddenly disrupting my peace came a crow which in its twisted mind thought that it would be funny to poke a child. On her head. With its beak. Continuously till she gave her carrot away to it.

Kindness had always been my motto though. I, being very chill, gave away my carrot to the crow and wept peacefully, silently sitting in my chair.
Ever since then, I stopped eating carrots outside. Jogging back to the memory lane, I did not actually eat carrots even after a long time.
I also forgot to mention my family was also there, laughing their butts off at me. Alas, simpler times.
Now things were way more complicated than the mystery of the Bermuda triangle itself and sadder than the endings of every sad ending movie.

But still. No feathers, no leathers. It must come as no surprise either that I'm a vegetarian too. I love trees. I love greenery. I love everything the nature gave to us except humans. Those fuckers can't pay me to like them.

So continuing, I donned on a denim black jacket on top. I left the house for the garage and got on my bike. Pretty soon I got to Lola Leah’s house.

She was my partner in crime ever since I'd been out in the real world. The world that nobody in my school knew I was familiar with, not even my lovelies Billie or Alex. Not a single soul had even had one percent idea about the life I lived outside my school.

And as I'd been promised earlier by her, she was waiting outside her home for us to go to our destination.
I got into her matte black sedan and we rode off to Persephone's Will.

It was a fighting arena. Drug suppliers and drug consumers, everyone from the whole messed up spectrum was welcome here. Unless you were a cop or someone who wanted to shut that place down.

Lola and I got off the sedan and went to our own trailers.

Let me explain it to you if you're confused slightly.

Lola and I met when I was randomly being chased by a black dog three years back and I accidentally got into Persephone's Will and coincidentally, into her trailer. She shoo'ed the dog away and gave me a tour of the place, not just the trailer and since then, I'd been going there since then.

She taught me how to fight in a ring, how to not attract any drug dealer/consumer in my proximity,how to run like a pro when you're being chased,how to knit and sew and stuff. She's practically raised me and groomed me for the real world.

I waited for the crowd around my trailor to disperse a bit so I could head inside but just as my luck would have it

“Hey there darling” came forth barritone of Mer linne Prince.
He wasn't a bad guy. Just a guy I wasn't into,yet.

“Your Majesty, hope you had a lovely weekend dining out on the finest tables in Paris?” I taunted in my posh imitation.

He let out a beautiful velvety laugh .

I won't lie. The guy is gorgeous and amazing but you know the little voice inside you ? Telling you to stop or you'll mess everything up ?

“Oh, love, only you could make me laugh on such a horrid day like this”
He breathed out looking deep into my eyes. A little deeper than I would've liked but who cares?

“My Lord? It's the most pleasant time of the year for you. The schools have opened and you're homeschooled. Hadn't you had the pleasure of stomping on a kid yet ? Reminding them of the miserable place they'll have to go to while you lay on your extravagant arse in your home all day?"

“That bad day at school huh?”

I might have gone a little too far.

“You know me Mer. You know me.”

He gave me the saddest smile he could muster

“Well I'm about to get to know you a lot better than I do now. ”

“Okay?”

He sighed like he was in deep pain.

“ Don't you get it, love?”

“ Get what? ”

“ I'm not gonna be homeschooled anymore. My family has made me join your school now”

“Okay. No”

He looked surprised at me.

“May I ask you why ? ”

“ I just don't think you should come. It's nasty and horrible. They are like pigs. ”

He gave me a eye blinding and genuine smile.

“ I'll have you by my side darling. I've got nothing to worry about. Except how to cure my procrastinating habits. ” He gave me a kiss on my forehead and left.

Mer and Tony and I.
How hard would it be?
It's only two guys.
Piece of cake.
Only two people I like.
