Revy Two-Hands doesn't believe in romance, or in big, buff, misunderstood assholes falling in love with self deprecating, gorgeous and naive virgins, she didn't believe in love. To her its all about the money, the power, the booze and having fun till its over. Temporary pleasures; sure, but the fact that she had a miserable childhood helped. Revy didn't blame the brat though, she was never really given a shot that really counted as opportunity. And the stupid kid really did believe in fairy-tales and shit, so she was bound to get hurt when reality struck. Thank the asshole on top for that cause that meant she wasn't as delusional as Rebecca, the street rat. Even if that mini maid thought otherwise.
Sometimes she wonders if there is a reason as to why there is a hardcover romance novel stashed away under her floor boards. Not that she ever bothered to read it. Besides she always managed to put strain on her eyes while reading, not something she liked to think about considering how she developed that problem in the first place. She didn't know why she kept it, the fact that it was the only memory of her parents made no difference, just the way the inscription in her fathers writing on the first blank page didn't or the picture of the redheaded kid and woman smiling at the camera didn't. And yet, as she sat alone with a bottle of booze and the book in her hand she couldn't help but wonder.
Its not that she needs to admit that she misses them, cause she doesn't. Lived too long without them. But she wonders what it would have been like, had they been around longer. And she hated that...she wasn't sentimental, memories made you weak and she was anything but.
But still, as the picture lay burning in the old, blackened ash tray amongst the cigarette butts of the night, the old hard cover novel remained tucked away under the floorboards for the next lonely night.
So...why did she keep it? How the fuck would she know.
Tada...please review. :)
