Sydney's POV
It was about two 'o' clock in the afternoon when I got back from the laundry mat and the store. I went into Kristen and Julia's room and set Kristen's clothes neatly in her closet and Julia's 'items' on her bed. I was on my way out the door when I noticed a flier on Kristen's bed:
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
COME GET YOUR SCARE ON AT THE HALLOW'S EVE BALL
GOOD FOOD
GREAT GAMES
A HAUNTED HOUSE
AND LOTS OF DANCING
SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? COME TO DOWNTOWN PALM SPRINGS AND JOIN THE FUN.
I looked at the paper and felt sadness in my heart. I wish I could have just one night for myself; I would love to go to the ball, but I knew that my stepmother wouldn't let me go. So, I put the paper down and my dreams in the closet and made my way to my stepmother's office. It was just the usual dust, vacuum, and throws the trash out.
By the time I was done it was tea time.
"Sydney, the girls and I are taking our tea in the lounge," My stepmother says.
"Yes Ma'am," I said.
I went into the hall way and was stopped by Kristen and Julia's demanding voices.
"Sydney, hot water," said Kristen.
"Sydney, warm milk," said Julia.
I said nothing and nodded my head so small, that they thought I just stood there clueless.
"SYDNEY!" they both said.
I just walked away and made my way to the kitchen.
The kitchen was extremely huge, there was a storage room where all the cleaning supplies were and it was so big that there was room for me to have a bed and sleep in. the room was always cold and damp and the blankets I had were barely enough to keep me warm at night. But I didn't have time to elaborate, I had to get tea ready.
After I put the kettle on the stove and the tray ready with all the essentials for tea, I sat in my favorite chair by the fireplace. I began to think about my life and how hard it has been, so to feel better I began to sing.
(music plays in background- song: in my own little corner by: whitney houston's Cinderella)
I'm as mild and as meek as a mouse
When I hear a command, I obey
But I know of a spot in my house
Where no one can stand in my way
In my own little corner, In my own little chair
I can be whatever I want to be
On the wing of my fancy, I can fly anywhere
And the world will open it's arms to me
I'm a young Egyptian princess or a milkmaid
I'm the greatest primadonna in the land
I'm an heiress who has always had her silk made
By her own flock of silk worms in Japan
I'm a girl men go mad for
Love's a game I can play
With a cool and confident kind of air
Just as long as I stay in my own little corner
All alone, in my own little chair
I can be whatever I want to be
I'm a thief in Calcutta, I'm a queen in Peru
I'm a mermaid dancing upon the sea
I'm a huntress on an African safari
It's a dangerous type of sport, and yet it's fun
In the night I sally forth to seek my quarry
And I find I forgot to bring my gun
I am lost in the jungle, all alone and unarmed Then I'm glad to be back in my own little corner
When I meet a lioness in her lair
All alone, in my own little chair
(music stops)
I was beginning to feel a lot better.
"SYDNEY!"
Well it was nice while it lasted.
Adrian's POV
I was lucky enough to find a badass Zorro costume, I went back to my apartment where everyone was; we were all putting on our costumes and showing them to eachother. Jill was a fairy princess, Eddie was a jail inmate, Dimitri and rose were in their cowboy and outlaw costumes and I am the sexy, charismatic, badass Zorro.
"Pray for mercy from, Zorrrrrro Ha!" I said as I pulled a fake sword from my belt in a spanish accent.
"Pray for mercy from, Sheriff Belikov," Dimitri said as he pulled a fake gun.
"You guys are such dorks," Rose quips.
"Silence!" I ordered; I quickly move behind Rose and place my sword on her neck.
"What will you do to save the woman you love from a gruesome death Muahahahaha!"
"Aren't you supposed to be a hero?" Jill asks.
"Not today"
"Hands off criminal," says Dimitri
"Never," I snarl.
"Draw"
Dimitri and I draw gun and sword on each other; we were chasing each other around the apartment for I don't know how long, with Dimitri 'shooting' me and I'm throwing my sword around while everyone was laughing at us. I managed to trap Dimitri in a corner.
"Now, prepare to die!" I yell; and before I could strike he pulls another gun and-
"POW POW POW!"
"Ugh, that's it, im done for…*cough* goodbye cruel world." I collapse dramatically and stick my tongue out.
"Wonderful show boys, I think this deserves a round of applause," Rose says. Everyone claps and Dimitri and I just bowed and padded each other on the back.
"If you will excuse me I need a smoke break," I announced.
I made my way outside to my balcony and lit up a cigarette. I don't smoke or drink as much as I used to; I only smoke when I am extremely stressed out, or tired (like now); and I drink on special occasions and a little at parties.
My life was in order, I was sober, going to college for art, and I even have a job at a local bar. Everything was turning out well, just one thing missing.
Love
I really wish I had someone to share my success with; I want the feeling of being held in someone's arms, to feel that warm embrace of someone who cares. I thought about what I would do when I did find my true love, what I would say to her, and what I would do to keep her.
(music plays in background- song: youll be in my heart, by: Phill Collins; changed 'will' to 'would' for Adrian becuz hes singing about the future he wants)
Come, stop your crying, it will be all right For one so small, you seem so strong
Just take my hand, hold it tight
I would protect you from, all around you
I would be there, don't you cry
My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm
This bond between us, can't be broken
I will be there, don't you cry
'cause you'll be in my heart You'll be in my heart
YES, you'll be in my heart
From this day on, now and forever more
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always
(music stops)
I wish she was out there, but who would love a guy like me?
If I was a woman, I wouldn't.
When I looked up I saw a shooting star.
I wish to find a woman who would love me for me.
So I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, again im sorry its been awhile. Please R&R.
