The Shades of Love

Chapter 3: New Beginnings


Flashback


As they walked in they could smell the sweetness of the brand new coffee, the sweet, known sent of chocolate cupcakes.
They made their way to the middle of the little shop where They soon spotted a group of guys talking and laughing in a small circle.
The girls giggled with the anxiety.
All they could think of was the tingling feeling that was growing in their stomachs.
As they slowly approached the corner where the group of boys were laughing, they started to second thought the decision of coming to meet the young rockers.
The boys turned around to see who was approaching their table.
“My baby Brother! I was starting to think you wouldn’t be coming today!” the oldest of the brothers said.
Bill frowned at the baby comment. He hated to be called baby, especially by Tom.
“Finally we see Mr. Birdie arrives!” the young man with long brown hair said in a mocking tone.
“Look who’s talking jungle man!” the younger one replayed.
The boys cracked up laughing.
The girls still behind the tall punk giggled trying not to be so noticeable as normally they were, one dressing like a walking, talking rainbow and the other trying to be a rapper.
The boys only noticed them when a small dark haired waitress came to ask for their orders.
The band members looked at the young girls intrigued.
“Excuse? Do you already know what you would like to drink?” The dark skin young woman asked.
“Yeah… maybe a cup of coffee?” Tom asked looking at the other band members.
“I don’t like coffee…” The black haired sister said.
“ok… how about a soft chocolate and caramel cappuccino for … ?” The older twin asked not finishing the question.
“Yeah!” the girl quickly responded with a smile.
“For me too please.” The girl with the blond bangs asked.
“And me!” Bill said with a bit of a ashamed smile.
“of course! Cause Bill isn’t man enough to drink coffee.” The young man with braids said annoyed, mocking his younger brother.
The boy next to them sat down in one of the big comfy pillows right in the corner of the room.
“may we know who you are?” the blond man sitting next to Tom asked looking at the sisters.
“I’m Mimi and this is my older sister Stef.” The girl said gesturing to her sister with an intoxicating smile.
“ermm… and why are you here?” the guitarist asked.
“Well, Bill kind of asked us if we wanted to come with him.” Stef said looking at her feet trying to hide her light blush.
“well Billy boy over here made a good decision for once in his life!” Tom said laughing, Bill frowning from the slight insult that his brother had just made.
The girl came once more with the drinks.
All happening so fast it almost seemed to blur out of memory, so slow it seemed like time didn’t want to move forward.


End of flashback


She looked at the door that in the death of nigh seemed more cold than ice.
All the life that once passed thru it, was now gone forever.
This now seemed to be uncaring for every feeling she had.
How could all of this have happen from one small event?
All those feeling they had shared now seemed to have disappeared into the air.
She only wished she could go back, back to when there was still something to save.


Flashback



She fell on the bed, her eyes shimmering in true happiness.
The hotness burning thru her white cheeks.
It hadn’t been long since they started to see each other.
Now more than ever she felt like he was the one for her.
She constantly thought of him.
How his cold hands felt against her sun like skin.
She blushed when she so suddenly heard a familiar voice.
“Hello babe!”
A soft smile spread thru her cherry pink lips.
He slowly pressed his lips on her neck.
His cold breath sent her shiver of pleasure thru her body.
His tingly tongue made her moan under her breath.
“Tom…” she silently said.
“What my love?” he asked in a sweet, caressing voice.
“I love you.” She said kissing his lips.
“Love you too.” He said with a charming smile.
They kissed once more sealing their love with unsaid promises.

The Shades of Love

Chapter 2: The Unknown Sun


Flashback


“Where are you?” the man asked.
“City park…”
“Ok. I’ll meet you there.” The voice said and hung up.
“Weird…”
“What?” Mimi asked.
“Nothing I guess… It looks like the man is going to come and meet us here.”


End of Flashback


One call, just one call had changed everything, changed their whole lives.
All because of a cell phone, such a little object had such a huge effect.
How could have such a meaningless thing do such a powerful result.
Connecting lives, changing futures, realizing impossible dreams.
Now she looked up to the gleaming sky and saw it all.
An occurrence that shouldn’t have happened, still like a dream far out of reach.
She remembered the trees that embraced them that day, the small lake that sang for them.
How things had changed…


Flashback


Mimi and Stef were sitting under the trees.
The shadows of the trees made it pleasurable to be outside.
The breeze that swept thru the leafs making a somewhat musical sound float thru the air.
How all that felt perfect, like time was never going to pass, like they could be there forever.
They day-dreamed of the day they would finally be able to live their imaginings.
They started to hear footsteps on the gravel coming closer and closer.
Although they could clearly hear it, they ignored it.
It couldn’t be anyone they knew, so why even care? They both thought.
“Excuse me…” A known voice said behind them.
It was soft as velvet and sweet as honey.
They gradually turned around, to where for their surprise they saw what it seemed to be a mirage.
They saw a tall, pale and skinny punk. Big shades covered his face and pitch black mohawk raised gloriously on the top of his head.
“How could this be?” Mimi murmured.
“Did any of you lose your mobile phone?” the man with an androgynous look asked.
Stef slowly raised her hand.
“Me…” She said in a chap faded voice.
The boy grabbed a small device from his over sized bag and handed it to the oldest sister.
The girls just sat there still in shock.
The boy looked at them and then around thru the small garden they were in.
He looked a bit embraced, as he was expecting another reaction from the young girls.
As the silence steeled making them all feel somewhat out of place.
The young man thought of polite ways to get out of there.
As much as he knew he had to leave, there was something inside of him that made him want to stay there with the sisters.
Then he felt his phone vibrate inside his back pocket.
He slide the phone to his hand and opened the text.

From: Tom
If u take much longer there will be no donuts left for u
Gustav is eating them like there is no tomorrow


He looked once more at the girls.
“So… Would you like to… like go get a cup of coffee?” The man asked with a weak smile.
Stef shook her head.
“Of course “ The girl said getting up.
Mimi snapped out of her perfect little bubble and also got up.


End of Flashback


All they weren’t expecting suddenly started to happen.
Almost as a play unrolling in front of them, but they were in it.
Stef could only think about that weird, unique, almost uncaring first time.
When their dreams and reality crashed.
The light line of the horizon just like that day.


Flashback


They were walking down the Street with their dream rock star.
As the boy saw it the girls behind him seemed to be different, They were talking and giggling.
They seemed to be funny and bubbly.
The way the summer sun hit them made them seem from another world, from the most perfect dream.
How would he explain to the boys that he had brought some random fans with him?
He didn’t even know the reason why he had done that. Why he felt this urge to be with them, to protect them.
He felt like he already knew.
They walked down to the little coffee shop on the corner of the street.

The Shades of Love

To my big sis Steffy *__*


Chapter one: Summer Dreams


Stef was sitting on her bed contemplating the stars up in the sky.
In her mind the thoughts of a perfect boy, more like a man.
His smile crushed all the stars.
The light shimmering of the stars remembered her of the glitter of his brown chocolaty eyes.
She slowly looked at her sister sleeping next to her.
What she would have given to be as calm as her.
After all that had happen in those last few days.
Life, living, loving just breathing had gained a completely new meaning.


Flashback


“Stef we’re going to be late!” Mimi screamed from the car door.
“I’m coming!!!” The older girl screamed while she ran down the stairs and thru the door.
“GOD! I swear u take more time getting ready that Bill!!!”
“No I don’t! Now let’s go! We have to get to a show!” the dark haired girl said running to the driver’s seat.
They speeded thru the empty streets, the slow, shallow rain falling on the car sounding like music.
Red and green lights passed by in a blurry fading image of their desire.
They stopped in front of a dark tall building that said ‘Estudios TVI’.
The rush they were felling would have made most people over dose from joy.
They stared at the door thinking about to do.
The door suddenly opened.
“come one in. we still have 2 more seats.”
The girls ran inside after thanking the young woman.
As the sisters swept thru the places in the audience, but the seats were nowhere to be found. The only spots they could see were on the front.
Those were always kept for the show guests.
Another woman came up to them and asked them to follow her up to the front seats, where they sat down.
The woman came on stage and introduced the band coming up.
“We all know them! Their latest hit as gone thru the charts, and now they’re here to sing their hottest album ever! Please welcome Tokio Hotel!”
A Big door opened behind her and smoke started to appear smoke from the ground making it all seem very mystical.
Tom came running with one of his most dazzling smiles, being his lip piercing just tingling, waiting to be used.
After him came Gustav already playing with his drum sticks, in his own little world full of Metallica and drums begging to be played.
Following Gustav came Georg spinning his lady like hair, spinning it like it was all of his body weight in gold.
The girls were amused at this unique, interesting, above all funny behavior.
Finally was Bill, the more girly looking one yet not the most feminine one, he’s behavior as soon as he walked on stage was a mixture of ecstasy and pure rock’n’rool.
They slowly yet mechanically took their places on the small stage.
Girls all over the audience screamed at full lungs, waiting that would make the young rockers settle their eyes on them. Yet something not understandable made Stef and Mimi Just look. Not jump, not scream.
Their eyes astonished by the sight of the performing artist on stage, the music dragging them even.
When the boys looked thru the crowd, the young girls standed out, being the only ones that even being so close not a tear sheered.
The boys became mystified by their exceptional behavior.
The show slowly came to an end the young rockers left the stage with the fading lights.
The screams turned into lights whispers, relieved descriptions and sad memories of an already dead dream.
The happiness the girls had felt moments before vanished like it had been sucked into a big black hole to never be seen again.
They around and walked of the dark, desert like room.
Their hopes far away, their dreams off to the next country.


End of Flashback


Nothing had ever been so strange, so confusing, and so attractive.
As the force of destiny was playing with their young lives, joking with their weak feelings, changing their dreams.
But they didn’t know.
They would never know!
The shimmering star in the sky danced with the memory of that first day, of the first pain.


Flashback


Mimi and Stef were in the city’s garden, enjoying the sun, walking, talking and just having fun.
Their light giggles of pure joy echoed thru the threes, taken by the wind.
When the sun hit their white skin, it seemed to be made of millions of pearls.
Little kids ran around in the small playground, giving the whole garden a magical sound that complemented the summer feeling.
The little birds flying around, playing in the air, singing songs of true happiness and unique love.
Mimi’s phone went off with the sound of Tom’s guitar. Even after all these years she was still in love with the song On the Edge.
As she pickted up she saw that Stef was the one calling her.
Stef was right beside her; also Stef had lost her cell tree days ago.
“Stef? Seems like someone found your phone!” Mimi said in a weirdly voice, like she was suspecting the truthfulness of the call.
“Give it to me.” The older one order.
Mimi handed the phone to Stef.
“Who is this?” Stef questioned.
“No one. I just found your phone and I thought you would want it back…” The male voice said very peacefully.
“And how do you propose to give me my cell back.”
“Maybe we should meet.”

Trying to love but not to live

When she saw what was in front of her.
The scare, the pain, and the red she had caused.
It was all she had, and she had ended it.
That morning when she woke up it seemed to be just another normal and boring Sunday.
How did all this turn around so fast? How did she end up there?


Flashback


- I’m so bored! – she said into the phone.
- Don’t worry babe. I’ll be there quickly. Just wait until I finish the check out. – Mark said back.
She couldn’t wait for him to come.
He always made her happy, made her smile.
A few minutes passed and there he was.
- Love! – she said as she ran up to him.
- Calm down. I’ve only been away for a day. – he said laughing.
- It feels like it has been an eternity. – she said looking into his crystal eyes.
They always calmed her down. It was like a ocean with no end, a sky with no horizon.
He smiled at her.


End of flashback


He was the one thing that made her go on after her mother killed her father for abusing Leslie and hitting her mother.
Her mother ended up being arrested and convicted to the electrical chair for first-degree murder, even if she had only done that to protect Leslie and herself.
She was only 14 when this happened. She went to an orphanage where she had meet Mark.


Flashback


She was sitting in a bench in the back of the garden. Everyone was playing but she was scared and didn’t know what to do.
Then she saw him. A tall, brunette with blue eyes come to her with a big smile.
- Hello there! I’m Mark!
- Leslie. – she said looking at her feet.
She could feel her cheeks burn with heat from the red.
- You’re new. – he stated, not asked.
- Yeah! Not that good. Is it? – she asked this time looking at him.
- Its always good for a side. You shouldn’t focus on the bade side only. – he said putting his hand in her shin and lifting it up so she would look him in the eyes.
- I don’t know… its not that easy.
He came closer and whispered in her ear.
- You just have to try.
She smiled. He smiled too.


End of flashback


She didn’t know exactly what had happened that day, but she trusted him ever since. He said it had been love at first sight.
When he turned 18 he bought a house and they moved in together.
That had been precisely a year ago.
He took her out. They went to the park where they meet. He sat her in that one bench, their bench and he kneeled.
- Will you be mine for all eternity?
- I’m already yours. – she said with a smile.
It was then a group of tall men dressed in black approached them.
- Oh well! Looks like we have a party in hands! – the taller man said with a cynical laugh.
- I don’t know. That didn’t seem to be a yes to me.
- Well that will have to be fixed. – the first man said taking a gun from his belt.
He pointed the gun to her and asked.
- Do you want to marry him?
- I love him. – she said in panic.
- That’s not an answer! – he said in a mad voice.
- Yes. – she said almost in a whisper.
- What? I didn’t quite get that. – he said laughing again this time he had the gun pointing to Mark.
- Yes! – she screamed.
- Now that’s better! – he said.
The other 4 laughed.
- Well boys I guess that now we have to be the best men.. – he said laughing so loudly it seemed to be an earthquake.
- But first we want our best man gifts. – another one said.
- So pass you wallets, watches, whatever you have. But I guess that then you’ll have to buy another ring. – the first man said.
Mark got up, punched him and tried to knock out the other guys, but he wasn’t fast enough and the one that seemed to be the ‘boss’ of the group got up and grabbed his gun.
- Oh! I was so happy! I even thought of letting you live but now you have really pissed me off.
Two of the men grabbed Leslie and the other two grabbed Mark.
- Now let’s see. Who will I kill first? I know! Let’s play a game that I love. It’s called Russian roulette.
He took out the extra bullets in the gun and twisted it.
- Now let’s see.
He started to shoot until a bullet came out right towards Mark.
He spilled blood thru his mouth as he fell in the ground, where blood started to surround him in a dark pool.
She fell on her knees and started to cry. She was crying so hard that she could barely breath.
Then the started to ear the police.
The men ran and left her there crying bounded by blood and tears.
She couldn’t go on with out him, specially like this!
He was her reason to live.
The ring was beside him, once silver now tainted pink by the blood.
She picked it up and put it in her finger.
She kissed him and whispered in is hear.
- I can’t try time.
She picked up a knife that one of the men had let fall and craved it into her chest.
Right then the cops were stopping their cars.

When The rainbow Dies

There was nothing there, not a soul.
He was alone, in the dark that was his life.
He still remembered when there was light and colour, when his heart was still beating.
He had abandoned his house when he was 17. He had chosen to leave, not the other way around.
His parents where that would be called ‘good Catholics’ maybe to good and very close minded.
That day was the end of a part of his life, a life full of lies and deceiving.


Flashback


- Mom, dad. I have something to tell you. – he said looking at them sited in the living room.
- Sure son. Go head. – his father said with a smile.
- I don’t want you to get you mad.
The smiles in his parents faces faded and were substituted by concerned looks.
- What is it Eli? - his mother asked.
- I just want to tell you that … - he took a deep breath – I’m gay.
- WHAT?! – his father asked in a jump.
His face was turning red with anger.
- You can’t know. – his mother said more peacefully – you’re too young to know that. You’re just confused. – she said with a worried smile.
- No mom dad. I know. I’ve always known. – he said trying to keep himself calm.
- What have I done wrong?! – she asked looking up like she was asking God.
- I will not have an homosexual son! – his father screamed.
- So I won’t be your son! Forget I’ve ever existed! – Eli screamed back.
He went up to his room grabbed a bag and ran out of the house.


End of flashback


That day had broke his heart, but he started to work and soon found a way to forget it.
They had been his best friend in the last couple of years.
Most people dreaded them, but for him they were his hero, his only escape.
Until that day when he almost overdosed.
He wanted to overdose. He was sick of living, but somehow an ambulance that took him to the hospital.
While he was there he saw an angel, a beautiful angel that was trying to save him.
On that day he understood that maybe there was a reason to live, but that reason seemed to be out of reach.


Flashback


He opened his eyes and by his side was his angel, his personal miracle.
- Hello! – the young man said with a smile that could start a war.
He opened his mouth to try to talk but the other one put his hand over his mouth.
- Shh! You can’t talk. I’m Alan. You’re Eli. Right?
He nodded with his head.
- You have beautiful eyes Eli. – Alan said with the same gorgeous smile.
Then out of nowhere he got up and gave him a light kiss on the lips then pulled back a bit embarrassed.
- Sorry… - Alan said looking at his feet red like a lobster - I didn’t mean to offend you. You’re probably not even gay. Are you?
- I am. – Eli said in a week voice.
Alan smiled with true happiness.
- I have to go Eli. I’ll come tomorrow. I think you will be released in two days. – he said giving him a kiss in the forehead.


End of flashback


Since that day he had found a new reason to live, to keep believing, to start loving.
But that had change a few days ago.
It was all a nightmare again.
He was broken, again. But this time Alan wouldn’t come to fix him, to love him.

Yesterday tree fireman died in a fire on the city centre. When the old building collapsed the tree men were still inside trying to save a woman and a child that were locked inside.
The tree brave young man will be honoured in a memorial this Sunday.


It was all a bright nightmare.
He was sick of the tears. He couldn’t take the pain any longer.
He only had one friend left, a lost friend.
He would end what he had started in that long lost day.
He knew what was coming next.
Right before he closed his eyes he saw him, his angel, circled in light with his big truthful smile and he smiled too
