Music of the Sun

Chapter 11

I held myself warm that night. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't stop thinking of them. Damn. I am messed up. I am fucking messed up. I need something to keep me active, but what? I removed the sheets off me, and walk out of my room, and walk down the stairs. I see two guys fighting on my doorstep, not physically, but verbally. I run up to the door and opened it. "Hey," I say. Margaritte pushes them away to the side and sighs. "Hey... Cass, just tell these two that they can't push you to love them both at the same time. You just need to chose. Who you want to be with?" Margaritte walks in and pass me. Bueno steps in. He grabs my hand and says, "Cass, I care about-" "No, he doesn't Cass," Bruno interrupts Bueno. "Fuck it, boys," I say, walking away from them and into my kitchen.

A few hours later. Bruno, Bueno and Margaritte are all in the kitchen. I'm in the lounge, watching MTV to clear my mind. "Bueno, just cut the carrots," I hear Margaritte say. "Fine." "Bruno watch the stove." "What's a stove?" "It's what's in front of you, bitch." "Oh... I see it." I roll my eyes.

A couple of minutes later. I hear one of the boys say, "What did you do? Cass is gonna kill us." "Let's not tell her what happened. Here hold this." "Sure." My heart pounded like some heavy bass drum. I stand up and walked into the kitchen. I scream. "Marge?" I sat down on my ankles, and placed my hand on top of her hand, and lifted it off. I looked at them, then at my hand. I saw blood. I got up from the floor and turned around. I see Bruno with the knife. I place my hand in front of him. "Give me the knife, Bruno." And he did. I place the knife on the kitchen table. "What are we going to do?" Bueno asks. "We live life like it never happened. The life before all the girl is mine thing happened.," I say, air quoting, the girl is mine. "What do you mean?" Bruno asks. "It means that your going to leave me alone." "I guess, this is goodbye." "Bye Bruno." Bruno left. I grab Bueno's hand. "Just like before," he says. I nod. "Let's all the cops and say that the murderer took before we can catch him." "And that your protege saw the whole thing happen, but didn't see that face of the murderer." "Let's go with that." I smile at him and say, "You make the call, Bueno."
