A Murder And Love

I enter my room and flop down on the bed to enjoy the sensual chocolate cake and the cool and comforting juice.Finished with my lovely meal,I pop on some music and begin to think about the day that lies ahead of me.

I wonder how much has changed?,Will I see some familiar faces?,Will I see him?

"Yeah right,there's no way we'll meet each other again.Especially after all my father did to him."I say in a whisper while trying to shift my attention to something else.

Suddenly the urge to look at my photo album grips me.Deciding that I'm too excited and too nervous to sleep,I open my photo album to look at the pictures while my mind plays each memory associated with the pictures like a movie,filling me with warm and fuzzy feelings.I finally stop at the picture of three children who were celebrating a birthday and a blonde girl was about to blow out the candles.It felt as if that day was just yesterday,when we three built a fort in this house out of cushions and pillows,when we three decided that we were going to rule the world,when we almost poked Rosemary's eye out when she said it's time to stop playing and we had to declare her an enemy of our soft and fluffy empire.

My fingers glide over the face of the boy in the picture and I whisper an all too familiar thought to myself,"I wonder if he hates me?"

"This is not a story about the good defeating the evil.This is not your typical romance high to satisfy your emotions."

18 year old Jacob and 17 year old Kate have been through hell in life to say the least.The people who they thought they could trust,their friends,theirs families turned out to be everything they said they never were.Unfortunately more hell awaits them because some stories are just meant to be...bittersweet.
