My Fiction Best Write
Alyx opened the door to her apartment and looked around to see if Marie was in. Looking in the mirror on the back of the door she looked in the mirror to see how she looked in her black leather pants with purple and red ribbons intertwined. While she thought she looked good in them they were no where near as hot as the red crushed velvet corset with the purple trim and lacing.
Walking to the left to the kitchen she dropped her coat and purse on the table. Looking at the clock she noticed it was quarter to two in the morning. As she opened the door to the refrigerator to grab a water bottle she spotted the phone. Seeing the message light blinking Alyx grabbed the water and picked up the phone and dialed the answering machine and put in her password.
" You have two new messages."
" Hey Alyx this is Eva I’m calling to tell you that when I get done with work I’m going to stop over. See ya later."
" To delete press seven…"
Beep.
"Next message"
" Hey Alyx this is Marie I’m going to be home late tonight so don’t wait up. I have a date. Bye"
" To delete press seven..."
Beep.
"First skipped message."
" Marie this is Jak… Um… Are we still on for tonight? If so I’ll pick you up at seven p.m. . Dress nice, cause we’re going out to eat and then going clubbing and then maybe go for a walk. Bye Marie"
" To delete press seven..."
Beep.
Crashing down to the floor, Alyx threw the phone at the wall. Wiping the tears off her face from hearing the message she screamed" A boy I am crying over a frickin’ boy. Who is going out on a date with my roommate? A frickin’ boy. Frick I just broke the phone. Now I’m talking to myself. Great I’m going crazy."
Alyx was picking up the pieces of the phone and throwing them in the garbage can when she noticed the mail on the floor next to the door of the living room almost like someone had thrown them at the table and missed in their haste. Finishing picking up the phone she grabbed her water bottle and picked the mail off the floor and put it in her purse on her way to the bathroom to fix her makeup. Deciding not to let the message get to her she walked into the bathroom and grabbed her makeup bag and started washing her face to get any trace of tears off. When she finished she walked over to the radio next to the shower and pressed the play button and blasting out was Opeth.
~ Out on the road there are fireflies circling Deep in the woods, where the lost souls hide Over the hill there are men returning Trying to find some peace of mind. ~
Smiling at the song she listened to it while she applied her mascara.
~ Sleep my child ~
Finished with her mascara she looked through her make-up bag for her red eyeliner and purple glitter. Finding them she starts to apply the eyeliner.
~ Speak to me now and the world will crumble Open a door and the moon will fall All of your life, all your memories Go to your dreams, forget it all ~
Almost done with her make-up she hears the start of a new Opeth song.
~ In the corner beside my window There hangs a lonely photograph There is no reason I'd never notice a memory that could hold me back ~
While she finishes with the small touches of purple glitter at the corners of her eyes and a little glitter on her chest. She starts to nod to the song looking in the mirror she smiles. Seeing this beautiful girl with violet eyes and hair down to her butt staring back at her.
~ There is a wound that's always bleedingThere is a road I'm always walking And I know you'll never return to this place ~
Walking to her room across from the bathroom she walked straight to her bed and sat down to grab her book from the nightstand and heard the next verse of the song she cringed at the way it hit close to home.
~ Gone through days without talking There is a comfort in silence So used to losing all ambition Struggling to maintain what's left ~
Grabbing her Black, Red, and Purple ankle boots she walked down the hall into the living room to sit and read her book. Listening to the song she sat down on the couch facing the window to the terrace.
~ And once undone, there is only smoke Burning in my eyes to blind To cover up what really happenedForce the darkness unto me ~
Waiting for her sister to show up Alyx was staring out the terrace to the street with an unnoticed book in her hand. Hearing the song Closure come on she realized that she had reached closure in just doing what she had to, to get cleaned up. She worked through things by removing the remains of the affect he had on her and put up her true self.
~ Heal myself-a feather on my heartLook inside-there never was a startPeel myself-dispose of severed skinAll subsides-around me and within ~
If Jak could not realize what a beautiful, honest, caring, person she was then he was not worth her time.
~ There's nothing painful in thisThere's no upheavalRedemption for my pathosAll sins undone ~
A small smile on her face as she stared out the window across the terrace. Looking across the city she turned away and picked up her book and sat down on the terrace with the view of the city in front of her.
~ Awaiting word on what's to comeIn helpless prayers a hope lives onAs I've come clean I've forgotten what I promisedIn the rays of the sun I am longing for the darkness ~
As she looked back to her book her sister Eva walked into the apartment looking sassy in her black leather skirt and a blue silk halter top. Walking past the kitchen Eva sets her purse down and states "Dad and Mercedes are debating on trying on a third child."
"Eva," Alyx says as she sets down her book. "Jacob can't even give his four kids any attention. He gives all his attention to his wife and money, mostly money." Standing up and walking over to the window she said, "Why should they try to have a third child together? He already plans on giving the business to either you or to Jacob most likely Jacob."
Eva walked over to Alyx and put her hand on her shoulder. "Alyx I get the fact that you don't like dad for just dropping you and not helping you with anything. But you can still call him dad, he is you dad you know."
Turning to look at Eva with a glare on her face. "Why should I call him Dad when he wouldn't talk to me because I wasn't the boy heir that he wanted from mom. Never mind the fact that I tried to be the boy he wanted."
"ALYX stay on topic. Mercedes almost died last time she got pregnant. How is she supposed to get through it this time? It would be bed rest from the moment of conception and you know that she wouldn't do that." Eva says while turning away and throwing her hands in the air. "By the second day she would be up and ordering everyone around and making sure everyone did everything right."
"Eva, Mercedes will most likely convince Jacob that it will ruin her figure and she won't be able to beat Gina at their games of ‘Who's the better Debutante?’ " Walking away from the window and turning to face Eva, Alyx said with a smirk on her face, "Almost like Russian roulette on a whole knew level."
Eva walked over to Alyx and smacked her on the arm and said "Alyx-Marie Sophia Antoinette Graves enough you may be the older sister but I will still take care to make sure you do not embarrass yourself nor our family name. I love you and I know our parent's are not the kind of parents most would want but they are still our parents." Looking at Alyx and trying to get why draws this grudge out. "Why should it matter about our parents ideas you are a grown woman who lives her own life with her own ideas, and her own challenges that she has over come and working to over come. Come on Alyx grow up and get over it."
" I get it get over my issues and grow up I am working on it. I know what I have going on and I am working on it and my issues with 'Mom' and 'Dad' are mine to deal with if I want to. I just don't want to deal with them they are exactly what I hate in life. Inconsiderate, selfish, Money obsessed, controlling, and assholes. Not to mention they married into more of the same ilk. Oh, why should I want to hang out with them and they’re oh so special families." With a smile she asks, "By the way Eva, how is Zack I thought you two were getting serious. Do you plan on moving in together soon? "
Throwing her arms in the air and grabbing her hair she Eva screamed out, "Alyx you are the most annoying person ever!"
Hearing the door handle jiggle they both looked over to the door in time to see Marie and Jak stumble in drunk and all over each other.
Alyx sat down on the couch and put on her boots, stood back up again and asked " Eva do you mind if I sleep over at your apartment I so don’t want to deal with the drunk and stupid here?"
Eva was staring at Marie and Jak in shock and said "Sure as long as you cook breakfast."
"Thanks Eva, I just have to grab some stuff from my room."
Marie and Jak started to stumble down the hall towards Marie’s room when Eva grabbed Jak’s arm and shook him and said, "You just made the biggest mistake ever. You asshole and you," turning to face Marie she slapped her across the face and smirked at the sound she made, "Marie I hope you know you may have just lost your best friend in the world. She would have done anything for either of the two of you. And you both ruin it by going and doing something as this just for a little sex. Jak you and Alyx had a date tonight yet you canceled by calling the coffeehouse to tell her that you had to work late." Looking between the two of them she turned and started walking to the bathroom to help Alyx pack up some of her stuff. She said, " Neither of you realize just how dangerous it is to piss off a Graves. But if you broke her heart you will."
Jak looked at Marie and started to shake. Thinking that he was laughing she started to join in when Jak started to stand up straight she saw the tears in his eyes. When she saw that she realized she might have lost someone important to her for a quick fuck, she started to cry also. Walking out of her bedroom was Alyx looking at her they saw the strong beautiful woman she was and the fact that they might of hurt her hit them so hard that they collapsed on the couch. When she saw them she looked at them and it was as if she was looking through them as if they weren’t even worthy of her notice anymore. Alyx called out "Eva are you ready to go I have all the important stuff if I keep having to get kicked out of my own apartment I may have to take my name of the list and move back into my old one it’s still open."
Eva walked out of the bathroom saying, " I agree even though I think tomorrow you should get all your stuff and move back. It was bigger and it didn’t have the trash in it. But, I digress I am ready to go. We only have to walk to the elevator and go up to floors and apartment 13605 is Zach and mine’s."
As they walked down the hall you could hear Alyx " WHAT you moved in together and didn’t tell me. I should smack you both."
" Alyx, I was going to tell you when I saw you today but you had to work at two out of your three jobs today."
"Eva, honey, don’t kill me but I worked all three. Of my jobs today."
"ALYX-MARIE SOPHIA ANTOINETTE GRAVES I BETTER NOT OF HEARD YOU RIGHT. Going out with any back up, without any help, without telling anyone, you are in so much trouble. Sly is going to kick your ass and you know he lives next door to us."
"EVA"
Both Eva and Alyx were walking side by side on their way to the elevator with small smiles on their faces.
