This piece was written for the Soaring Twenties Social Club (STSC) Symposium on the topic of Romance. If there’s one thing I have to say about the STSC, it’s that everything we do pushes me to become a better writer. If you’re an artist, someone looking to hone the gifts, check the STSC out!
Now, it’s been a while since I’ve published anything. I hope you my friends are doing well. I’ll be back to consistency henceforth! Many Blessings!!!
“Can you explain it to us exactly how it happened? or what happened?” Bryan said.
He’s listening to the voices in his ears telling him what to say, I can tell. I know he wishes to kill me right now but the law sadly permits none of it. His legs couldn’t stop moving as he asked me the questions, his eyes couldn’t clear up from what are tears. How red they have become in the past few hours.
“It’s simple Bryan,” I said. I moved my chest closer to him dangling the chains in my hands. “He broke my heart so I devoured his.”
Bryan held a fist which brought a smile to my face! I sniffled, wishing he would use the fist to end the beats of my heart but he got up. He walked out the room leaving me empty.
“FUCK,” I yelled as the door shut slamming my palms on the table.
The hours before being brought into this room played again in my memory. His body leaking its blood on my dress. I felt the tears circling my eyes so I laid my head on the table. “You broke my heart,” I cried.
“He broke my heart. He broke it,” I yelled.
Evan vowed to me, vowed to love me, never hurt me yet he broke my heart. I see again my head the way his blood leaked out of his heart as I laid him down.
I heard the door open, “You’re free to go,” I heard. “John, your lawyer is waiting for you in the front, John here will escort you out.”
An officer walked past Bryan, unlocked the cuffs and got me up. I looked into Bryan’s eyes, he’s just in pain just as I am. He broke Bryan’s heart as well.
“Just letting me leave then Brother In Law?” I held my hands next to his chest, “Just going to let me go after all of this?” I see the pain in his eyes, I feel it in mine. He closed his eyes and turned away from me.
“Why can’t you do anything Bryan? Your brother is dead and you’re doing nothing to stop the person who did it!” I walked the opposite way after saying those words, “He won’t do anything. He probably can’t find anything.”
After being brought out, I walked to my car. In the car, I wept. “What is there to live for when the one you love, the one who gave you life breaks you heart?” The tears continued.
“Janet,” I heard. I rolled down the window after seeing John’s face, “don’t worry, they won’t be able to get you on anything. You go home, rest and leave the rest to me.”
I nodded, rolled the window up and continued with my tears.
Another knock on the window brought my head up. I rolled it down again, “You’ll bring me in now Bryan?” I asked.
“I’ll do everything possible to make sure you get life for killing him.”
“It’s better than killing myself Bryan so please make sure you bring me to the judge. He broke my heart and I couldn’t let him live. Now I have to live alone with the darkness in my head,” I cried and rolled up the window again. “ Bring me to justice Bryan before I drown in pain!”
Thank you for reading dear friends. Have a blessed day!
