Home. (Short story)

This a creative writing piece for school. I am not sure if it is any good but still hope you enjoy. 


It is interesting how easily a person’s mind can latch onto such experiences that they never wish to revisit, For years, she walked past this traumatic place as flashes of memories streamed back. For years, her mind avoided that part of her life but when the moment came for her to return, She had to grit her teeth and bear the pain. She had once promised to leave this place and never to look back but now they have gone. She must reclaim what is hers, the memories, the place, the pain - everything. She would tell herself that everything is going to be ok despite her heart’s desire to run as far away as possible. 

Silence filled the icy atmosphere as she stared blankly out the window, watching the frozen forest rushing past. A deep husky voice broke the silence. 
“ You alright?” How could she be alright? She was returning back to her dreaded nightmare. However, she feigns a smile, turns to face Darren to reassure him.

Turning into the driveway filled with painful memories. Opening the door, a bitter, cold wind pushed beside my body, like I wasn’t even there. I walked through the rough, log door into the dilapidated wooden cabin as Darren gingerly followed. The overpowering scent of cigars and the musty, bitter odour of whisky still hovers in the air. With each breath, flashes of my so-called father came back. I see him lazing around on the lounge, drinking, smoking, yelling, littering the floor with his discarded glasses and the ashes of his previous smoke. Leaning on the closest wall and gradually sliding down until I was crouching on the ground, rocking back and forth humming a familiar tune that had always calmed her down. Darren stood over her watching, uncertain what he should do and could only helplessly wait for her to pick herself up. 

For the second time, he asked,
“ Are sure you can handle this?” However, ignored his question and ambled her way up the stairs. With every step up, she is pushed back with pieces of a horrific memory until she reaches the top and blinded the my flashing light of the screen of the TV that has never been turned off. All of the sudden, it was like a huge boulder crashing down on her as the painful and unwanted past floods back. 

Indistinct yelling. Louder and louder with each step I took. Behind the action, a light shown from the static T.V. A shiny metal objet was being pulled back and forth. 
Tears dripped down my cheeks while quivered with fear. My sister holding one end and my father on the other. Fighting over a craft scissors. Yelling at the top of their lungs. I watched as a blood-red droplet stained the creamed colour carpet. My eyes followed the invisible lines in which it originated. The scissors broke in half, one end stained with blood  the other end untainted. Trickles of blood rolled down my father palm. 
Outraged, with my sisters act. However I knew she was only defending herself.
Not only herself but for my sake too. His powerful arm reached out. 
Fear washed over me, as I could not bear to watch what might come of this. 
A high pitch scream suppressed within finally caved in before breaking the chaos. 
Eyes watched over me as I trembled on my own two feet. 
I stared into the darkness as afraid to open my eyes and see what terrible scene I missed. Two warm hands, protectively wrapped around me. 
I knew it was my sister. 
“ I want to go home” I whimpered.
“ You are home” she replied reluctantly. We both knew this was not home. 

She opened her eyes, to find the red stain still on the creamed colour carpet. The T.V stared blankly back at her. She could barely stand as she felt weak in her knees. She stumbles her way back out to the frosty yard as she replayed the aching memory. From behind two muscular, protective arms wrapped around her. Supporting her weight in case she fell. She felt a never ending warmth pour over her from Darren. He rest his chin on her shoulder.
“ I want go home,” she stuttered. 
“ I will go wherever you go, because home is with you,” He responded confidently. She turned around, embraced in the warmth of her husband while resting her head against his sturdy chest. This time she knew she was home.

Proving Your Love Pt. 10


Meanwhile, Gaara hide just arrived at their hideout and entered into the main room where guns turned and pointed at him. 
“ What do you think you are doing?” While pulling out his gun through it wouldn’t do much. 
“ What does it look like? I am going to take revenge for Rebecca but first we have a little guest that is just about to arrive.” Just as he said his last words Belinda jumped into the room not knowing that this was a trap. Kevin knew how strong their love is and he knows that Belinda will do anything for Gaara as for Gaara will do the same.
“ Belinda!? What are you doing here?”
“ I heard that something bad is going to happen to you. So I followed my instinct to find you.”
“ Oh how sweet. I will take my revenge. Jack and John pull them away.Both of them looked at each other and turned to Gaara. Gaara gave them the indication to listen for he knew the consequence that will apply for them. Jack and John pull Belinda away from Gaara but being careful not to hurt her otherwise Gaara will be not happy. 
“ I will watch you, watch me kill the women you love.”
“ Don’t you dare.” 
“ Watch me.” Kevin lifted his gun and fired a bullet into Belinda’s leg before shooting another one into her heart. Fortunately John noticed where this bullet will land, he knew if he didn’t stop it, Belinda will die. Without thinking for another second he jumped in front of Belinda taking shot which land right into his stomach before falling down. 
“ What!? how dare you protect her. I will...” 
“ You have been surround Kevin, so put your weapons down and no one will get hurt.”
“ I don’t care about them, I will finish what I have planned to do.” Once again Kevin lifted her gun to shoot but this time, the mafia had moved there guns towards Kevin instead of Gaara, while one shot at his firing arm to force him to drop his weapon. 
“ What do you think you are doing?”
“ Don’t you understand, you have betray them. You care more about yourself then them therefore they decided not to listen to you. Your days are over.” The police burst in hand cuffing everyone in the room except Gaara, Belinda, John and Jack. The ambulance rolled in pulling Belinda and John in before rushing to the hospital. 
“ Belinda, I am so sorry. I should have tried better to protect, Believe me I would use the rest of my life to protect you from harm. No one in the world will ever hurt you again.”
“ Gaara, it is fine. I put myself in danger, I will be fine Gaara all thanks to that guy. I will be fine.” Gaara jumped into the ambulance with Belinda holding onto her hand never letting go once until she entered the emergency room where he contacted Dora and Yuki after which they all rushed to the hospital. Darren called for the best doctors to assist Belinda and John as he did stop the bullet from hitting Belinda’s hurt. Everyone waited in Darren’s private waiting, impatiently hoping that Belinda will not be crippled after the incident and John passed critical condition. The emergency light turned off while the doors opened with the doctor walking out. 
“ Doctor, How is Belinda?”
“ Is she ok Doctor? Is she? Is she? Is she? Is she? Is...”
“ Dora, calm down. Let the doctor talk.”
“ The surgery is a big success. She will have no after effect from the bullet but she would not be able to move the leg for quite a long time.”
“ How long, doctor?”
“ Exactly. How long? How long? How long? How lo...”
“ Sweetie~”
“ It will take take around 6 months- 9 months.”
“ That long. There must be...”
“ I am going to take her out to let her calm down.”
“ No I must see if she is ok.”
“ Don’t worry she has Gaara. Now lets go my little angel”
“ Darren~” Everyone waited in the waiting room except Dora and Darren while Gaara was accompany Belinda, holding on to her hand. The doctor came out of the second emergency room bring news about John to Jack. 
“ Doctor, How is my friend?"
“ He has passed critical condition so he shall be safe for now. But he will need to stay in the hospital to recover for a couple of weeks.”
“ You sure, he is ok now. Right?”
“ He is fine. He pulled through.” 
“ Thank you so much.” Gaara had left Belinda’s room to get some water while Dora and Yuki entered the room. Darren was amazed with John’s bravery and decided to ask Gaara for more information about them, so he may get them become a bodyguard for him. Belinda’s anesthetic wore off after a few hours waking up to Gaara fallen asleep next to her bedside while still holding on to her hand. Dora was leaning on Darren same with Yuki but on her fiance, all fast asleep. The hospital food was on the table next to the to her. Belinda used her right arm reaching out to the food while trying her best not to wake Gaara up but she was unsuccessful. 
“ Oh, Belinda your awake. Let me help you that.” 
“ Don’t worry, I think I can do it myself. I was trying not to wake you because you looked so tired.”
“ It is ok. As long as you are ok. I would never feel tired.”
“ I missed you.”
“ Me too.” They were looking into each other eyes, Gaara slow leaned into hoping to kiss her on the lips until...
*Yawn*
“ Belinda, your awake. How are you feeling?”
*Yawn*
“ What!? Belinda is awake?... Belinda~ Your awake. How are you?”
*Yawn*
“ That was a goodnight’s sleep. Oh hi you guys are up. I will go and get ourselves so coffee. I will be right back.”
*Yawn*
“ Coffee?? I need some too I will join you.”
“ Hey, I will come and help you.” The boys left the room, leaving the girls to have time to talk.
“ You guys have very, very bad timing. Why couldn’t you wake up later?”
“ What!?”
“...”
“ He was just about to kiss me. It has been over 7 months since we last kissed and you work up and ruined it.”
OH~~~
“ Do you want us to call him back in?”
“ You wait, here I will go and get him”
“ No, wait come back it is ok. I guess I can wait later, but still... You owe me my kiss..."
“ Ok, wait...” Dora leaned in preparing to kiss her.
“ Wait... Let me finish I meant with Gaara.” They 3 of them moved onto the upcoming events until the guys came where Belinda turned to Yuko and said ‘I will kill you if you hurt my darling... once I can.’ We all paused for a few seconds following a laugh which we hadn’t had for such a long time.

The past 4 months Yuki and Yuko are preparing their wedding while Belinda is on her way to recovering. Dora joined Yuki on her dress and the maid’s dress hunt helping her through her plans for the wedding. Yuki’s special day has finally arrived, the day she will finally married that special guy. Dora and Yuki where in when of the tents where she is getting ready while Belinda has yet to arrive. 
“ Yuki, calm down. She will arrive she just need to take some time since she is still in a wheelchair.”
“ I know but it is my special day. I just want her here so I know that she won’t miss out.”
“ She will never miss you wedding day. Trust me.”
“ I know... Hey look she is here.” They continued to prepare for the wedding in their little tent while outside The groom is checking everything is in place for the wedding before getting to his position. The wedding was beautiful and reception was a joyous occasion for everyone especially for the bride and the groom. Finally they all can live peaceful lives full of happiness like before while the girls spent large amounts of time together when they have the chance. But they do miss the times in they had in high school even when they have great life now. 





~THE END~

Proving Your Love Pt. 9


Meanwhile in the Gaara’s limo with Jack and John, Gaara has turned red with anger. 
“ You might as well drop your puny little knife because I have a gun and I can kill you both in one second. So, do you have anything to say?”
“ If we tell him we will be dead meat.”
“ But if we don’t tell him then we will still be dead meat. so what do you think we should do?”
“ Not...”
“ What are you guys mumbling about? Quick speak up, I am losing my patience.”
“ Ok, we will make you a deal. We tell you everything and we will be a snitch to the others. We will help you instead but just don’t kill us.”
“ Why should I trust you? How do I know that you are not doing this so I can keep you alive and instead you rat me out.”
“ Because Kevin is such a pain in the ass. The worst boss ever. You know ever since you left it has been...”
“ You ruined the only thing that we can bargain to keep our lives, you idiot!!”
“ Uhh... I mean’t the this other kevin, you know...”
“ I see, I will spare your lives if you would work for me. I promise that you will get a good reward for this. I will be a better boss than Kevin ever was but you have to understand if you do rat me out your lives are at stake. OK?”
Yes sir, we will remember this and we will guarantee to help you out and not rat you out for the sake of our lives.” Gaara, Jack and John signed a written Death Agreement before discussing on a plan before Gaara dropped them off close enough to the hideout but far enough for them not to be seem together. Jack and John walked into the hideout where Kevin and some other members of the mafia are discussing some other plans. 
“ Ahh~ Jack and John, you are back. Did it all go well?”
“ No, sir. We had interruptions from Belinda’s bodyguards, who had guns with them and we only had knives.”
“ I see, I guess I can’t blame you. She probably would have prepared for this where is she now?”
“ The guards probably took her to the hospital and then somewhere away from her house because we did get to slash her before the guards jumped in.”
“ She must of gone to a friends house. Ok you 2 find where she and report back to me. Quick GO!”
Yes, Boss Jack and John immediately left the hideout to complete there task but not before they reported back to Belinda. 

Belinda entered the dining the next morning with the help one of the maids as she had gotten lost within the house. Dora and Darren have arrived in the dining room for a few minutes before Belinda had entered and few seconds later the doorbell rang. We continued to eat our breakfast waiting for the guest to come in with the butler. 
“ Good morning guys, how are you?”
“ Ok, but you seem to be very happy today.”
“ Yuki, my darling” Belinda jumped out of her seat and immediately made her way to hug Yuki like she always did in high school.
“ Belinda, I heard what happened yesterday night. Are you ok? You’re not injured that badly are you?”
“ I’m fine, it is only a scratch so don’t worry. Dora already got a doctor to look at it but she didn’t really need to.”
“ Of course, I did. The knife could have had poison or they cut a vein. You never know what is wrong unless you check it.”
“ I agree but along as your safe nothing else matters.”
“ By the way, Yuki you seem to be in a very good mood” Yuki blushed and smiled while shaking her head proving to us that something important happened.
“ What did he do? Do you want me to kill him for you?”
“ Belinda~ I think it is fine, I believe that it isn’t a bad thing. Right, Yuki?”
“ Well... Yuko and I are... en... engaged.”
“ What!? I’m gonna kill that guy.”
“ Belinda, you always say that. but I think he is perfectly fine as long as Yuki is happy.”
“ But still...”
“ You can’t kill every guy Yuki goes out with or engage with otherwise Yuki will never get married and live her life”
“ But still...”
“ Belinda~”
“ Fine..” We ask Yuki for the details of the proposal while Darren left for work until Ryeowook came and we began searching for more information on Gaara. 

While Ryeowook was away at Dora’s house finding information, Ryeowook’s wife Rebecca had a secret meeting with Kevin somewhere secretive that no one will find them.
“ Tell me Kevin, Is she killed yet?”
“ Well you see...”
“ No she is not, You said you will try and kill her and when you try u always do so what happen this time.”
“ You see, that girl is Gaara’s wife to kill her we must do it behind Gaara’s back.”
“ If you can’t kill her than I will. Give me the gun!”
“ No, we can’t get you back involved, Rebecca.”
“ Give it,” 
“ You don’t even know where she is right now”
“ I know exactly where she is. So, give it NOW!!”  Kevin hesitated at first but once he looked into her eyes, he knew he couldn’t refuse her, so he willingly gave her the gun before she left. John was spying on their conversation and once he heard enough, he contact Jack to tell Gaara. Gaara knew that Rebecca will immediately go and find Belinda, so he rushed to find her. Kevin decided to help Rebecca and prepared back up for her and sent her, the best members in the mafia. At Dora’s house, Ryeowook pick up a call from Rebecca that someone at work has asked him to coming in and help him. Ryeowook left the three girls to find more information while Rebecca hide in the corner of the gate waiting for Ryeowook to leave the house. 
Ding...Ding...Ding
“ Mistress, there is someone here that says she is Ryeowook’s wife and is here to help with the research while he is gone.” 
“ I see, well.. let her in.” Rebecca came in and introduced herself nicely, putting on an act to make them like and trust her. An hour has passed, Dora, Belinda and Yuki quite liked Rebecca. 
Beep...Beep...Beep...
“ What’s that noise?”
“ Not sure, it seems like someone has broken into the house. We will just wait here until the butler notifies us.” We stay for another half an hour or so until the butler came in. I led him outside to ask for the intruder is which he answer by saying a guy with red hair and a love character on his forehead. Immediately I knew that is was Gaara, worried what he may do I ask Yuki to come with me to find him. Rebecca and Belinda was left behind to keep researching not knowing the dangers that lay ahead. 
“ Gaara, what are you doing breaking into my house?”
“ You better have a very good reason otherwise, we will call the bodyguards and you will not see Belinda. If that is what you want to do”
“ What are you saying? I need to find Belinda she is in danger. Ryeowook’s wife, Rebecca, is planning to kill her we mustn’t let her have alone time with Belinda”
“ WHAT!?”
“ No way, she seems so nice and everything. You sure that you are speaking the truth.”
“ I am sure... wait you met her?? where is she now? Please don’t tell me she is with Belinda right now?”
“ Yes she is. But you must heard wrong she was so nice.” 
“ NOO, We must get to her before Rebecca kills her. Like Right NOW!!” Dora was the first one to rush off to the room that Rebecca and Belinda is in while Yuki and Gaara ran after her. Dora had also called guards to rush to the same room hoping they can protect her before she is able to. While everyone is rushing to the room Rebecca is preparing to kill Belinda making sure that it makes her look innocent. 
“ You have a nice name, you know that use to be used as my nickname by Ryeowook.”
“ Really... Thats such a coincident.” Rebecca replied in a very annoyed manner.
“ Are you ok? You sound...” Belinda turned around seeing a gun pointed at her head.
“ Rebecca, what.. what are you doing?”
“ You do not know how much I dislike you. I am just a substitute for you in Ryeowook’s heart. Now that he is spending every minute of his spare time with you. So know I will kill you, therefore the only lady he will ever care for is myself.” 
“ But, I never ask him to do such things for me. He did it to his own according. So..”
“ I don’t care, as long as you’re gone he will no longer keep loving you are spending anytime with you. Say you goodbyes.”
“ Belinda~”
“ Drop your gun!”
“ Gaara.”
“ You drop your gun or you wife will die.”
“ If he drop his gun then you drop yours.”
“ Why should I?” A bunch of guards surrounded Rebecca with guns and among some of the guards where police that was called in by the butler. 
“ Drop the gun and put your hands down and no one will get hurt.”
“ I hope not. I am going to finish my job one way or another.” Rebecca lifted her hand slowly placing the gun right in front of Belinda, while Gaara pushed through the guards and police.  He rushed towards Belinda as Rebecca pulled down the trigger and the bullet was fired. Gaara pushing Belinda down, closing his eyes hoping that he was not to late to save her. Darren open the door in time to see the shooting while Dora rushed to his warmth of comfort, hoping and praying that Gaara made it in time to save Belinda, her best friends in the world. Yuki covered her eyes with her hands flinched at the sound of the shot but unable to force herself to see what has happened in case it would turn out to be the worst case scenario. Dora forced herself to turn to see if Gaara has made it in time to save her, turn her head ever so slow afraid of what she may see. Yuki and Dora, open their eyes to see that their friend in Gaara’s arm without a single drip of blood and Rebecca handcuffed by the police’s. Dora rushed to her friend with tears of relief, knowing that her friend is safe. Her tears flow down like an uncontrollable rain while hugging Belinda as tightly as she could afraid to let her go. Police left the mansion before telling Belinda to go to the Police office to file a report once she is out of her trauma. Belinda has still holding onto Gaara afraid she let go that he will leave her again. The 5 of us enter the guest living room without a saying a word we were all traumatized and in disbelief that Ryeowook’s wife is her. More importantly, how shall we break the news to him that his wife tried and kill his first crush/love. We decided to discuss how we are going to tell him but once we enter we all fell silent none of us wanted to be the one to tell him. Fortunately, he broke the silence for us.
“ Hi guys, what happened while I was gone? Gaara? Your back?”
“ Hi Ryeowook long time no see.”
“ What going on here?”
“ Well...” 
“ Well...”
“ Well...”
“ Well...”
“ Well...”
“ WELL....” Everyone turn to Belinda as she was the one who was the closest to Ryeowook. 
“ What why me? Why can’t you guys tell him? Dora...” Dora looked away immediately instead turn to Darren and leaned against him. 
“ Yuki...” Yuki grabbed her cup of tea and start sipping it as if to keep herself busy. 
“ Darren...” Darren looked towards Dora and began a conversation with her indicating he is in a deep lovey dovey conversation.
“ Gaara...” Gaara started coughing and mimed that he can’t talk cause of his voice.
“ Fine...” Belinda explained the Ryeowook about the events that has just occurred while his expression change from a confused look to a person in shock. While Belinda was explaining to Ryeowook, Gaara received a call from someone important. 
“ Gaara, where are you going?”
“ Just somewhere I will come back, I promise.”
“ But...”
“ Trust me!!”
“ Ok...” We watched him leave the room, everyone in the room knew how much Belinda didn’t want him to go as she hasn’t spent time with for over 7 months. Ryeowook left after him to check with the police and his wife about the whole incident, he was still in shock but he had to confirm. Not long after Ryeowook and Gaara left, the butler entered with a phone call from the police to me. 
“ Hello, this is Dora.”
“ Hello, miss. We have just got information that the Mafia that Gaara has been undercover in has decided to kill him, so, you must stop him in at all cost from leaving you house.”
“ I’m sorry, officer but he has already left. Are you sure that the mafia is trying to kill him I mean he is the boss isn’t he?”
“ True, but they are going behind his back. Thank you for telling me. We will immediately try and stop this murder from happening. Good bye Miss.”  I hanged up the phone and began explain the phone call to the rest of us once I finished I had realised Belinda has gone. 
“ Calvin, Did you see where Belinda went?”
“ Yes, mistress she left just a while ago when you where on the phone.”
“ This is bad, Calvin get some bodyguards to find her and please get the cars ready we are going out to look for her.”
“ Yes, mistress.” We all rushed out hoping and praying to find Belinda. Love gives you strength to do or find anything/one Dora and everyone else just hopes it Belinda would be safe from harm. She has escape one near death experience, they do not want her to go through it again.
