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.
