Chapter 34:

The fear I had was inexpressible, I was lost in the limbo of what to do, whether it was to cry myself for her and her suffer or to be strong for her, within my gear held back. She tremble scratching herself, her face and her body, looking anywhere she could with a terrified look, so scared.

I see myself for the first time looking at my real girlfriend, so vulnerable, so weak and so much sadist. She had never walk out of her shell within where she stays all her life inside, the dark that covered her and took her smiles away, it all started with the women she called her 'Mom'.

Kylie now appeared to be as a burn victim, pink-seared, scabbed over, an epidermal landscape of knotted leathery, skin stretched taut over wearied body. Her ruins running together in her messed up mind, her feature indistinguishable.

And I, I didn't know what to do, and even if I did,I didn't know how to do it. A part of me wants to help her in anyway I could, abolish her fear that keeps taunting her, and another part of me wants to know the real story of my Ky. I couldn't call her mine now can I?! A part me is ashamed that even though she is my girlfriend and more my son's mother, I know nothing about her, about what she is suffering through behind the calm composure of hers.

At some point the door to our room, which was previously her room, opened and a bright light gaze upon us. I didn't really have time to switch the light on, everything was at peace once, with my eyes closed and slight deep breaths were heared in the silent room, then seconds later a wreck of a sound came, screeching loudly knocking me from sleep. Seeing what Kylie is suffering, shocked Noah came inside, looking at his sister, who is by now speaking to herself without any meaning from the words she pours along within the tears. Seating beside her, he didn't know what to do, or he did, he was just shocked how this happened.

"Everything is OK, Ky" Noah start as soon as he drift away from the thoughtful gaze on her, "you are at home, with us, with your son and your boyfriend. Everyone here loves you and cares for you, about you, you hear me don't you" Kylie though doesn't seem like she is hearing him, she continued her jumbled mumbling, a bombinate sounds coming continuously from her lips, that are now swallowed and dry, "Liam slept my room today, he said that you abandoned him and that he isn't sleeping alone when everyone slept for two" Noah chuckle, me smiling, and for a while, we had a temporary relief when Kylie stopped mumbling, but then she continued.

With wide eyes, I swiftly nod perpetually to him, for him to continue talking about anything he could. And as he start, we continued blabbering anything we could to make Kylie's attention to us, to make her out of where she now stays, blindly.

"I saw Amelia and Hayden making out behind the bars yesterday.." My mouth blurted, I wasn't going to speak about them now, but then Kylie turn to me with a creepy smirk, I could swear that she was the one who set them up, and planned that, and then I would surely swear that I jumped out of fear for her smirk and her whole act as those words passed her lips. Noah laughed, slowly continued by Kylie too, then so I continue, "hey, that wasn't funny. You nearly pulled my heart out of my body"

"Not funny" they both gave me a bored look after speaking in sync. Laughing again with me included this time, we took a minute or minutes for breathing before Kylie sigh, inhaling a deep breath.

"Thank you guys" she bothered.

The next morning, Kylie was up with a fresh mood, her calm and composed feature along her sweet and beautiful smile. I wondered somehow if the last night happenings were dream, and for a while I believed it was, but that currently changed when I saw the faint scars scratched marks on the places she kept on her skin last night.

The door bell that rang twice echoing in the hallway, that sang melody of quite and calmness, Astree quickly rushed to the door muttering how irrisponisble the butler, Mr.Hwart is.

"Liam, you eat those with fork not spoon" Kylie say, taking the spoon off Liam's hand, as he watch her take it off,

"I have some training to do, I'll be late today" Noah seems distant as he said so, he didn't even give her a glance nor to me, keeping on staring at his food -which was an Italian Pasta cooked with fish and some salsa -., it was hard to figure what happened to him, maybe he was worried of Kylie and what happened to her.

Astree then came, with a paper of an envelope; white with golden robe, written widely with hand cursive 'Welcome party', it had a rose colour to the edge, in a diamond shape. It attracts some attention but it was girlish thing, stopping Kylie from stating her thought. Slowly handing the letter to I, she turn to go.

"Can you add me some dessert, please Astree" Kylie batt her eyelashes at her, pleading her with the sound of her eye. Lately she has been eating lots of desserts, she said she always does.

"Sure, honey"

Shaking my head as they continue eating their food, I open the letter reading the invitation quite briefly.

Dears,

It reads, starting with a golden that scribbled on the white smooth paper, that looked rough but is highly silky when touched.

I wanted to invite you as my precious guest for a soon happening welcoming for my new house, found at the coast of the river, windom street. It will be highly appreciated if you appear, for we might will on something as of business and such job stuffs. A delirious dinner, dancing and some programs will be held this Sunday, at exact 9 pm. You dear are invited with a person as a date, for you are a person who deserves to be invited.

Not a formal invitation, but also not informal. But still, not really expert on writing such things. The sender shall be a beginner and has a growing company. But when I see the sender at the bottom of the paper, I was indeed shocked.

"What does it say?" Kylie asks, collecting my attention to her, with a concerned and careless look, eating the dessert Astree brought her a while ago. "who is the sender"

Yours sincerely
Adina Kings.
