Sometimes I feel I’ve got to
Run away I’ve got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I’ve lost my light
For I toss and turn I can’t sleep at night……by Soft Cell        

  Five minutes ago……  

 “Thanks…Max,” the words for some reason didn’t feel so right leaving my mouth.

He nods his head slowly, “Anytime.” His voice drips with sarcasm, “I didn’t know you had a fan club,” ‘oh god here we go…’  

 “Are we in a relationship now?”  

 “Funny, you like giving those assholes attentions, I don’t blame you.”   “Max, those guys only wanted one thin from me. You on the other have wanted all of me, I hope.” I smile and try to lighten up the mood; his eyes close and a smile stretches across his face, “I’m trying ….goodnight.”   “Goodnight Max.”

 I quickly kiss him on the cheek and began walking the concrete that lead to my home.   I could here his Mustang ply away at the road as it took off.

  “So you’ve told me, listen-.”  

 I look up from the grass that I was so entranced in and had to stop myself from moving; Naomie, my sister the one I could count on, just fucking kissed Shane, a girl I thought I cared about.   And by the looks of it she enjoyed it, perfect.    

“G’night.” I waited until I knew Naomie was inside and approached the shagged haired girl. She turned around quickly, probably trying to leave before I got there.

  “Carmen…”   “What the fuck!” I drop my bag and pom-pom’s,

“It’s…well…not what it looks seems.”  

 “Oh…please don’t go there,” it felt so odd being this close to he again, seeing those green eyes look at me,

“She kissed me on the cheek,”  

 “She might as well stuck her tongue down your throat, god your just in-love with her!”  

She rolled her eyes and smiled,

“Fine, that’s what you believe …I got an essay I need to write, or else I fail”; She walks past me, or at least tries to; my arm shoots out and stops her. Face to face, no more hiding,
