"I noticed you are distant to your Dad, it's not like before. Is everything okay.?"
"He did something he shouldn't have done. That's all."
"If you want to talk about it I'm right here."
" No, not right now. "
"Okay I understand, but don't think about it too much. Open up with someone even if it's not me, you'll be fine."
I looked up at her and wondered if I really deserve her love .
"If it's opening up to anyone then it's you. You are all I got." I said reaching out for her hand.
She smiled at me then asked. "Jewel what are we?"
That caught me off guard. I didn't know what to say. I knew I love her and I would do anything to make her mine but that will only drag her into my mess.
A mess that I also don't know how I'll get myself out.
"Uhm- what?...I don't know Tash." I said
"What are you afraid of?, that people will talk? Jewel you know I love you right?" She asked holding both of my hands.
"I know,and I love you too. Let's just not rush it,please."
"Okay look,I understand how you feel about all this relationship thing and maybe you think I'll hurt you but honestly, I've never felt like this before,"
She paused then continued.
"This is real, it is Jewel. Give it one more shot. With me."
I believe in her and all that she said. I wish it would be easy to say yes to her as it was with Brett. Starting up a relationship will only make her get more involved with my plans and that's the last thing I want.
"Can we stop talking about this please." I said
"Seriously?, you don't want to talk about it because you feel nothing or what?, make me understand Jewel."
"Haven't I told you that I love you?, I really do Tasha but let's just keep things low key."
"But-
" I have my reasons why. Let's not start a fight. " I cut her off.
She didn't answer back.
She started to drive real fast I thought we were going to crash. I got scared and started to tremble.
"Please SLOW DOWN!" I screamed.
"OK!OK!... Take it easy I'm slowing down." Tasha said shocked by my reaction.
Was I really affected that way?.It's now clear my whole life was turned upside down with that one incident. I'm never going to do things normally like I used to before.
"Are you okay?, I can take you back home if you want." Tasha asked with concern.
"Am fine, just drive slowly."
There is no way am backing down. I want to see the face that I'm about to destroy.
If I really want to avenge for my baby's life and mine it has to be now.
"Are you ready to face Brett again?"
"I've Never been this ready. The question is, is he ready?"
"I'm happy you decided to let go. It's the right thing you know." Tasha said smiling.
I was totally right. I knew telling Tasha about my plans was going to make me feel bad about what I am about to do. No matter what happens, there is no way I'll sit down and pretend nothing happened.
Ain't nobody or nothing is going to stop me.
My mind is all made up.
"We're almost there. They'll be excited to see you." Tasha bluffed.
Who the hell is going to be excited to see me. All they'll do is judge and stare. But who cares anyway. This isn't the same Jewel.
This new Jewel has zero tolerance to anyone who will dare step in her way. I have nothing left to loose and that's what keep pushing me to this.
"Here we are. May I?"
Tasha opened the door and lend me his hand.
My head was full of thoughts that I didn't even notice her parking and alighting the car.
"Like in the movies?" I asked laughing
"Yes my love. I'm your perfect date. You just haven't realized it." She goes again with all the flirting.
She isn't that bad.
I chuckled at that. "Oh stop it." I faked a blush.
I can't believe I'm back here. This is where it all started and most probably where I'll make an end to it.
All of it.
My blood pumped just a little bit fast than usual. I was nervous and scared. This is not who I wanted to be. It's not who I was either. But it's who I am now. And it's too late for a change.
I took the first step in the school hall way and the echoes blew out my mind. Everyone was murmuring. I'm not a dumbbell so I know it's about me.
Who cares anyway.
I'm only here for just one thing.
Make him pay.
He'll regret he ever did that to me.
It's coming for you Brett.

DONE (Unedited)
Short Story"I'd rather fight with him for the rest of my life than replace him." I told my best friend Tasha sobbing bitterly. Every time I say I am done I find myself going back to him. He's so brutal but every time I'm in his arms I feel so safe. I'm still...
