......IXESKIES......

As I open my eyes, the creaky roof of an unknown house made me terrified. Another day of helpless abuse is going to be my work. Darkness hugs my own self who is now pale for days of no food to eat. Maybe there is, but I don't want to especially that it comes from my boyfrie— opss, correction, my ex-boyfriend filthy hands.

Tears fell down my swollen cheeks as I began to stretch my slender body. I don't know if I'm alive, but all I know, my mind is now dead, as well as my emotions. I'm now all empty.

"Suz, my beautiful girlfriend, where are you?" the voice of the man, I mean the devil that kidnapped me fills the dirty room where I am now.

I stand up and about to hid from him but he snatched my hands, "Don't touch me." I threatened him with the voice full of seriousness. He do as I say.

I'm about to go out when his voice made me tremble, "Don't you dare go out again sweetie, or else, you know what I can do to your not-so-good family" he whisper in my ears before he goes out.

I kneeled right after the door shut close. I cried and cried because of sadness that I felt and mad for myself because of I agreed to be the girlfriend of a psychopath.

I calm myself before I go out. The light still disturbing my newly awake eyes, I still headed in the dining area where the man siting in one of its chairs.

"Oh, you're here? Join me, you need to eat so many especially that your face is now so thin." He observes me while giving me food.

"I don't wa—" I don't have time to finish my sentence when a plate crashes in front of me. "So sorry darlin', its your fault you don't obey me, tsk tsk tsk" he sighed and clean up the mess. Its just the two of us here, no maids, no other people disturbing. Just the fvcking two of us.

...*****...

I'm now in the balcony, looking at the trees that freely sway with the wind. How I wished I'm like them, can freely sway and dance, can freely go out, especially that I'm now a prisoner in the arms of a psychopath who's so fvcking crazy inlove.

I remembered how we used to, he's not like this in the past, he's just a man who's smiling is his thing. A man who has a black hair that sways everytime he looks back at me, a man who has a dark blue eyes that is full of emotions, lullabies that can make you feel what he can feel, a man who has a perfectly tanned body that others are envious to have, a man who has a perfectly pointed nose that he always scrunch if he's upset with me, and, a man who has a lips that is so soft, everytime it met mine, I felt warm.

But this time, he's not he. He's now a prisoner too, a prisoner of the past that damaged him. The past that still hunts him, and now, made him like this.

Again and again, tired of it, the tears flows out from my eyes. Even in times like this, all I can do is to remember all memories, memories that can make me shatter into pieces.

...*****...

Its time

I looked at the window just in the side of the room. The moon shines so bright, how I wished I was like that. So confident for who I am, and of course, always surrounded by stars that leads me for where path I choose.

I looked at my hands, now full of bruises and scratch. All in my school is envious of how I used to be, a rich, so smart, and a beautiful girl. But little did they now, I'm now here, in summer break, have been kidnapped by the man I used to care, I used to think, I used to trust, and, I used to love.

I get the piece of the broken plate from the mornings quarrel, as I think. I get it and smiled bitterly, "You can end all of my hardship." I looked at it once again before I slashed it in my wrist.

Pain

All I can feel is pain. But I know, after this, I can't feel anything. Even a single pain, nothing.

I'm slowly closing my eyes when I heard his voice. The voice I loved. "Suz, Suz, wake up, sweetie, wake up" I saw his eyes, glistening because of the tears that is forming.

"Alexander? I missed you, but please, don't make me wake up again, I don't want to, I'm sorry."

"Please don't, don't leave me, your mine, JUST MINE." His voice echoes inside my ears, before I shut my eyes, the man who kidnapped me come back............again.

What a windy day is it

I'm now heading to school, bag in my back, eyes in the front, and lips smiling like crazy. Do you want to know why? Because summer break is now up.

As I enter the gate of the school where my highschool days becomes hell, the wind blows my hair that gives me shivers down my spine.

I take a deep breath and fix my jacket, I looked around and saw a man looking back at me. I looked everywhere to look if its just someone in my back who's what he's looking at but it is literally me. I just shook my head and headed to the room where my class is.

"Suzette, early bird again huh?" the voice of my bestfriend, Ash, welcomes me with a big smile in her face.

"Nana will scold me if not" I laughed while arranging my things for the class.

I became friends with Ash when I was still in Elementary days, she's the Miss Perfect while I'm just the girl that everyone envies of because of my parents status. Its a rainy day that day when I hid in the library to cry so hard. As we all know..........family problems. I remembered how she approached me that day.

"Here take this."

"If you want to cry, just cry, even others laugh at you, when they experienced it, they will understand you too."

I remembered how her smile affects me. How her touch makes me feel safe. How her hug makes me home that I've never felt from my mother or father.

"Is Mr. Simons late again?"

"A 100 percent, I bet." She wink at me that made me laugh. She's always like this, doing silly things before she concentrate on reading some of her books, of course, romance.

...*****...

A couple of boring hours has passed but no figure of Mr. Simons appeared in the door of the room.

"Your bet got so far, I expected that late that you're saying is just like 30 minutes but it ends up a couple of hours huh?" I looked at Ash that is just looking in the window. Looking at it so serious.

I tapped her shoulders and talked behind her ears, "Boo!"

"Hey, you scared me like hell. Silly."

"Your the one who's silly looking at the window like you saw a ghost." I laughed but as I didn't expect, she became more serious.

"Hey, Ash, what's the problem? I'm just joking around."

"Nothing, just my mind explored and just lose it, ha ha ha ha"

But I know, she's hiding something to me. I'm about to ask her about it when a woman comes in front of the room and announced that Mr. Simons aren't teaching for us for today. As I expected, my classmates cheered joyfully, thinking about what they will do for the last 60 minutes.

...*****...

I'm in the cafeteria with Ash, the idiot one who's just looking in a far far place that I don't know.

"What's happening to you Ash? I'm worried, you look like an idiot all day."

She looked at me with eyes that is full of fear, "N-no, its n-nothing, my head just hurt a bit."

"You should tell me earlier, let's go to the clinic so th—"

She stopped me and talk with assurance, "I'm okay, its getting better so don't worry." Then she smiled.

"Ok-okay, if thats what you want."

We continue eating with silence filled the air. Even though I know that many people are in the cafeteria too. Its like its just the to of us, and of course, the atmosphere that is filled with silence.

I sometimes turn my gaze to her but I can't sense a little thing, just her eyes that is full of questions. When she notice me, she will just turn her gaze and smile. That's it.

...*****...

I'm now home, but doesn't feel like. I'm about to take a shower when Nana comes up with her hands that is full of veins because of working carrying a bowl of soup.

"I just make some if you want to eat it up." She smiled while putting the bowl in the table beside my clean bed.

"Thank you Nana, I don't want anything else, you can go out now."

She nods before she close the door carefully.

I hop in the bed and closed my eyes thinking about Ash, thinking about what she's thinking that made her like that, thinking about what she saw that made her attitude like that all day.

Don't tell me she really saw a ghost?

"Ahhh."

I screamed because of what I'm thinking, "Its not true right? I'm just overthinking." I cover my face with a comforter and tried to sleep but failed.

I just got up and about to take a shower to freshen up my mind when I remembered the soup that Nana bring to me. You really know what I want huh?

I ate it up, before I go to the bathroom to get a shower.

"Suzette! Come down now! We're going to eat dinner!" The voice of one of our maid yells infront of the bathroom door while I'm combing my hair.

"Coming!"

I'm about to go out when I saw a shadow outside my window. It made me curious and peek at the window.

There I saw a man in a hoodie just like the one who I saw in the school. Maybe one of the rivals in business of my parents. Nevermind.

Its natural to me, especially that I know that its because of my fvcking parents who I think who doesn't know I exist in their life.

But this man who's now looking but at me, gives me chill. I can't see his face clearly especially that he has a mask in his mouth.

I just shook my head and didn't care about what I saw.

What I really must think is that why Ash's attitude like that?
