Teardrops

Teardrops

 

Once upon a time there was a little mouse who was in love with a beautiful red rose.

Her beauty and grace were nothing like anything he had seen before, so he would spend hours by just looking at her gentle leaves and wishing he could just hold her, even for a second. He was madly in love, but even so, he never had the courage to come any closer to her. He thought he didn’t stand a chance with such a perfection.

The rose however, burned from desire to meet the little mouse. She could always feel his stare on her back and every time she caught a glimpse of his eyes, she could tell they were so sweet and filled with love and honesty. The rose felt as nothing and nobody could harm her when he was around.

They were both crazy for each other. Their love was so pure and unlike anything else in the world.

But one day the little mouse didn’t find his red rose. The spot where she stood so still and gracefully before was empty. She was gone.Two big watery drops stumbled down the mouse’s face and fell down on the ground. His heart was broken into million pieces and the love he felt for his lost rose was now stronger than ever before. In fact, it was so strong that his little heart couldn’t handle the tragedy. The mouse didn’t live to see another sunset.

Months later, two flowers appeared from the ground on the same spot where the teardrops fell. They grew into two red beauties, who lived on to tell the story of the little mouse who loved a red rose.

 

Amy

Amy

Amy was a pretty girl.

Not in a ”gorgeous,jaw-dropping” kind of way though,but there was rather something unique about her.

Maybe it was her beautiful,dazzling smile that made people feel special around her.
Or maybe her little sapphire eyes that were like two puddles of water-so clear you could see into her soul.

Amy was a popular girl.
She lived in a huge house,that looked more like a mansion,with the most spectacularly beautiful garden ever seen.
Living the life of a princess,many would assume her to be arrogant and self-centered,but the truth was far from it. There has never been a girl as loving and caring as Amy.
She had many friends therefore,friends that loved and were ready to die for her.

By having it all – looks,brains and wealth,there was not a person alive that didn’t predict her a bright future.

Amy was only 16 when she went missing.

Indifference

Indifference

-What do you mean you’re in jail ?!

I heard my mum’s high-pitched voice coming from the kitchen.

-How on Earth should I find that much money in 2 hours ?! You’re insane.

She slammed the phone down loudly and started swearing.

-What did he do now ?- I asked as if we were talking about the weather and not my little brother being in jail.

-Ah god knows what. Alcohol,drugs,whores.. Frankly, I didn’t even dare ask. That little brat is going to be the death of me.

I wasn’t very surprised by her indifferent tone and calm behaviour as she was lighting another cigarette and looking for the bottle of whiskey. Her lack of interest in her own children never failed to amuse me.

-So you’re gonna go and get him,right ?

-Ah,but darling I have a meeting with Roger in half an hour and you know how important that might be for my promotion.-she put some red lipstick on her full lips and it seemed like she had already forgotten that tiny,little detail about Daniel being arrested. -And besides,I couldn’t possibly find the money for the bail in such short notice.He’ll be fine,it’s just one night in the prison for fuck’s sake.It’ll teach him a good lesson.

After she had done her make up she blew me an air kiss and walked out of the door.

Unbelievable. Though,nothing could amaze me in this family anymore.With a constantly drunk father, mother whore and a brother criminal, I often wondered how did I turn up to be normal.

After I made sure all my credit cards were in place,I fetched the car keys and set off to,once again, rescue my little brother.

Wicked

-You wanna know a secret ?

He knew exactly how to draw her attention.

The girl was so young that he could easily be confused for her dad. With his big,black beard and gray hair,he didn’t look attractive at all,which made him question himself quite often why did girls like her fall for his lies.

-You don’t? That’s alright.Girls as pretty as you should be cautious.-He smiled.

-I shouldn’t talk to strangers.- She finally spoke,but he could sense her curiosity.

It’s gonna be easy with this one.He heard his wicked mind say.

-Oh,but that only applies to strangers who want to hurt you.I just want to talk,that’s all.- He gave her one of his sweet,innocent smiles and noticed a bit of a relief on her face.- ”You can trust me.I could never,not in a million years,do harm to such a sweet girl.”

She blushed.

Bingo.

So,what’s the big secret all about ?-she now started acting all cool,which was typical for girls her age.

-Oh,I will tell you.Just gotta make sure no one can hear us.-he said as he took her hand leading her to a darker place.

She followed him slowly,unaware of the wickedness of the monster in front of her.

Wow,she is so pretty.

I thought that every time I looked at her.

The moon was shining bright and we could both see its reflection in the water.

It was a magical night and she was a magical girl.I loved her blue eyes that were deeper than the ocean and her small lips I was dying to kiss.She was the type of girl you only meet once in a lifetime.

The ocean felt so warm that night,or maybe it was her wet,slippery body that kept me warm. We were in the water for hours,totally unaware of the time,gazing at the stars and wishing the night lasted forever.

I should go. She quietly said to me.

I could see the first signs of the new day and knew she had to leave.

Tomorrow,same time ,same place? I asked with hope as I watched her go deeper into the water.

She gave me one last,mysterious smile before she dived in,making a big splash with her fin.
