Loved Ones: Chapter Three: The Vision Of Yesterday

It usually is a happy morning till you remember the dreams of last night, and last night had being a nightmare. My hands gripped my head as if trying to physically block out the thoughts and ease the pain, I could still hear the cries, remember vividly the fear in her eyes, to Princess was i such a scary being. Sighing!, i stand, desperately trying to maintain balance, there were drugs, liquor bottles, condom litters everywhere. feeling dizzy i lose balance, it felt as if Something was hammering a nail through my head, painfully and slowly, i crawled towards the Something, unbolting the locks, the light was blinding.......

Taking aspirin went a long way in easing the pain, taking a peek at Linda, I felt embarrassed, she must have being knocking at the door for a while, her clothes seemed a bit damp. Maybe she knew of last night events, news kinda tend to spread like wildfire in this town.

Taking a hint from her worried expression, i murmur audibly " I didn't know you were knocking,"
"Huh!, Oh!, don't worry, it must have being such a long night for you," she replied, taking into account the condition of the room. Staring at me, she ponders *oddly enough, I came to rip him apart but instead I feel compassion for him, his head must hurt badly, guess the aspirin worked, his eye colour is almost back to normal *
I desperately wanted to object, I didn't host the party I just took solace in it when princess........, Looking at her quizzically, she hasn't asked of princess, did she know?, and if she did why isn't she making a fuss about it?, I lower my head, not knowing how to ask her if she knew about last night events.

" I heard," she said, noticing my discomfort. Her eyes still on me, continues " So what are we gonna do?,". I was pretty dumbfounded at her reply, initially i had expected her reaction, to make a nuclear bomb explosion pale in comparison.
It must have being the drinks, but i knew if i said this words they weren't gonna come back and still yet i said it, " Do you know what hurts me most?......," my voice trailing off, getting a hold of myself, i continue " i took our relationship to be more than what it is, you never cared about us, you never asked about my past, I stupidly clung on to something i should have let go off, and that mistake cost me Princess", I pause. I could see her face, she was barely keeping the tears in. Her focus, intensity seemed to be on beating an invisible enemy,  her fists were hitting hard into the floor. Ah! i screamed in pain, i don't know which hurt more, the noise her fist were making with the floor which was hurting my head, or her tears which hurt my heart. i stretch my arms to hold her.

Hearing a scream, she stopped suddenly, her head still lowered. Making to reply, she sees the outstretched arms, hopping in, she embraces me. I was confused, but even in my confusion, my arms held on to her, they didn't want to let her go. Sobbing silently, she replied " I love you, but it seems love scares you away so I hide it, you want me to ask you about your past?, the same past you wanna forget. You want me to make a fuss, how would i do that when you hear the father partied after his child was taken from him?, I came to hurt you but seeing you on your knees made me realize your just as lost".

I retort, jokingly " How can a 12year old know what love is". She moves to break the grip, i resist. Sometimes words seem inadequate to express emotion, so we both held on to each other, crossing boundaries we never thought where possible.

It was already mid-day, and we still hadn't figured out a plan, all we had ended up doing was cleaning up the room, and talking about different possibilities.

"Those times you wanna stop thinking but your mind won't just let you. Hello, Xparkle", a voice called out from behind me, the sound of the voice stunned me. Turning, i came face to face with the marquees family investigator, I stagger, guess the effect of last night partying hadn't cleared yet. He smiled, those wicked little smile that made you know that they were here to hurt you.

Taking his seat; noticing my eyes were still on him, he turned to Linda, I am Agent Law, You must be Linda, I have heard a lot about you.
Linda confused, finally asked "Who are you, and what did Xparkle tell you"
Law grins, " Xparkle, is that what he is called?" He asked rhetorically, "Anyway, I investigated you since you were close to him".
I jumped closing the distance in between us, aim a blow at his head, the blow tips him over the chair, i was upon him raining blows, lifting me up he tosses me aside, I rush back at him the smile on his face disappearing on the sight of my eyes. I stop suddenly, Linda stood in between us. Dusting his suit, he says "Am here to take you to the station."
At the station, our plea was rejected, they had no problem giving her back to me, she hadn't eaten a thing since yesterday, but the agent that made the arrest was hugely against it. The policeman on duty asked us to plead with Olivia, when we meet her that she's a nice woman and probably wanted to just have a word with us. Well lets just say that we got more than what we bargained for because when we met Olivia, she didn't let us utter even a word and with her back towards us, she said " Princess won't be bothering you again, now kid, in pain your heart clings to one truth; its either their fault or yours. who do u blame?." I trembled at her words, who do i run to?, coughing! i drop to my knees, a voice in my head answered "YOURSELF"
