"You know," I begin, stirring my cocktail with a toothpick "it takes seven years for every cell in our body to be replaced." I lift up the toothpick with the olive skewered through it and tap in on the edge of the glass. "It takes twenty-seven days for us to shed our skin." I put the drink to my lips and down the rest of it. "Two more years, and I will have a body you've never touched. Two more years and I won't know what it's like to have loved you. Two more years and I will be free of you, completely." I put my tongue out as a drag the olive across it taking in the remainder of alcohol before taking it off the toothpick completely. He watches my every move as if he's in a trace, right up until the bare toothpick is in its glass once again. I look him over one last time before turning to leave, it takes everything in me to walk away from this, from him. "You want to forget this?" He asks huskily. He doesn't need an answer he knows. Sometimes I believe he knows me more then I know myself, he knows that I can't forget him, he knows that sometimes, can't is a won't. I stare at him with words unspoken. "I don't want to," he says too quickly, like it just managed to slip past his lips, "and I won't let you." I inhale sharply as his lips find mine and all I can think of is how he's sentenced me once again, another seven years.

"Kill him! Kill him!" The crowd cheers. Today's match was fight until they back down, but if they don't, you kill them. If- I mean when- I win, I will get 5 million dollars. These fights give me cash loads just so I can kick ass and attract a crowd. I snap his neck and feel his body become limp above me. The crowd cheers louder once I push the lifeless body off of me. I stand up and regain my posture as the referee allows himself in the ring. The referee comes and grabs my hand. "We have a winner!" He shouts to the crowd with my hand in the air. Clapping passes through the crowd but I just nod to them. We land ourselves in an empty alleyway to catch our breaths. "They're crazy." I pant and my brother agrees. "I can't believe they're so eager for a photo." I let out a breathless laugh but that ends when I see a black suburban stop right next to the alleyway. Men in suits come out with pistols in they're arms. "Silas." They say my brothers name. My throat gets dry as one's eye lands on me. "You're his famous sister, si?" He holds out his hand but I just eye it disgusted. He doesn't take no for an answer so he roughly places his hand in mine, giving it a firm shake. "Leave her alone man." Silas, my brother pleads. The man releases my hand with a chuckle. "We'll be out of your hair, we just need the money." My brother looks at me with the color draining out of his face. He looks worried but I am as confused as a fucking squirrel. Everything changes after this. Everything will affect her and everyone's life. Everything is different, but everyone must keep their hands off her. *** I only write for FUN! I don't take this seriously but I do it as a hobby! This book may contain mature scenes!
