“What? Did he really accept that?” I laughed.
“Of course. Why wouldn’t he?” she shrugged.
“What’s up with you and Fabien?”
“Don’t ask that, Dawn. They are trying to eat each other constantly. Trust me, it’s getting disgusting after a while.” Sage groaned.
“Ah, don’t mind her. Fabien is great. We are great.” Harley wiggled her eyebrows.
“Good, I’m glad to hear that,” I said but she didn’t stop talking. She continued to give me every detail about him, about their relationships…I mean “every” detail.
After half an hour, I left the club with a smile on my face.
This club held a bad history, but from now on, it had the power to put a smile on my face. It would be all about the good things in our lives.
Three Years Later
ANGEL
“Happy birthday, MJ!” Dawn was singing the birthday song for MJ.
We all clapped our hands while my little boy blew out all the candles. His smile was adorable.
“Auntie,” he said after examining his toy car and wrapped his little arms around Dawn’s neck. It was his way of thanking. He preferred to show affection rather than using words. Because of this he was still talking with one-word sentences. Even though he could easily handle a long conversation. He had a deep, silent intelligence that was shocking for a three-year-old boy. Sometimes I thought he understood more than he should.
“Happy birthday, little man.” Xander said and lifted MJ to his arms.
A part of me broke when I saw how MJ looked at Xander. There was clear affection and awe in his face. He had the same look when Alex gave him his present. MJ studied his present with intelligent eyes and smiled at him.
“Uncles,” he said and tried to wrap his arms around both Alex and Xander.
Me?
I was watching them from a far.
“Mommy?” MJ called out for me. His voice was so mature for a boy at that age. I haven’t been a good mother to him but he didn’t give up on me with his little heart. I smiled at him but my mind wasn’t proper enough. After two years of professional help I wasn’t on the right track, yet. I didn’t even know if I’d ever be normal again.
“I’m coming, baby boy. I’ll just bring the knife to slice your cake, okay?” I said and he nodded his head. I felt Dawn’s eyes on me and reassured her with a smile.
She knew I sometimes needed the time alone. I was glad she didn’t push too far.
I walked into the house back and frowned when I heard the voices from television. Dawn must have forgotten it on.
I walked to the voice and stopped dead in my place.
Today, Michael Harrison was found stabbed in his prison cell and pronounced dead while being transported to the hospital. The victim’s brother, William Harrison, a current prison inmate, has been arrested for the alleged murder.
It was three years ago when the Harrison brothers were convicted with life sentences for multiple counts of rape, murder, kidnapping, drug trafficking and obstruction of justice. .
I couldn’t look away from the TV screen. I felt like my body was surrounded with ice. My skin prickled and the ground spun under me. I put my hand to the wall for support.
No one knew what I’d been through. No one understood my feelings.
Everyone thought I was about to be cured. But I wasn’t…I was beyond the limit to be cured.
I missed his face…
I was in love with my nightmare and even though I knew it was wrong I couldn’t help myself.
