She didn't cry, she wouldn't allow herself to cry. After what seemed centuries Marlisa reached the river and sat down. Her hands were violently shaking she took out her pot bag and her rolling paper. Her hands were shaking so much she didn't even attempt to roll a joint. It seemed hours for Merdardus to show up, but when he did she trhew a smile on her face. It hurt a little, but she wanted to make him happy. He ran over to her, panting slightly.
"Marlisa, I'm so sorry…I'm……late……Marli, you're face? What happened? Are you okay?" Marlisa looked up to her childhood friend and nodded, she would not let her emotions interfer with her afternoon.
"I'm fine, it just_" Merdardus sat next to her and lifted up her bag, he placed it down beside her and frowned. Marlisa followed suite, "Merdus…" The female placed her trembling hands to his cheeks and looked at him. He was still looking to the bag. "Is something wrong, you lok so pal_" She gasped as he took a hold on her hand and lowered it to the ground. He continued to grip it tightly, pretending not to notcie her trembles.
"Your bag is heavy Marli, is your family going on a trip to Poland to visit you're aunt." The girl shook her head, glancing to the floor. "You're Uncle in England?" He asked his voice craking a little. As soon as she shook her head again, the boy bit his bottom lip tightly "Marlisa…. Why are your bags packed." There was no answer. "Please tell me…" She shook her head. "Marli, I care about you! That's why I need to know, something happened… I may be foolish but I'm not a complete mroron… The bruises on our face… Your packed bag, that fact that ou're trembling now even when I touch you." Merdardus shook his head and looked to the ground "They kicked out then?" She noddedfeling his hand leave hers. She closed her eyes and pulled her knees up to her chest hoping it would make the shaking stop. She glanced over and Saw Merdardus attempting to roll them a blunt, she smiled a little at him as he brought it to his lips and took a deep breath in. He placed it in the girls mouth. She took a pull and leaned on his shoulder, the blond didn't say anything he simply placed his arm around her shoulder. They sat for what seemed hours smoking in silence, but eventually there was no pot left. Marlisa smiled a little at th opertunatiys she had now.
Merdardus was grinning back at her, she brought her hand up to his cheek. He shook his head an quickly stood up. She frowned again and let out a small groan.
"I'm really very late. I will see you tomorrow and I will… Uh I will help you with this thing propblem situation." With that he ran off and Marlisa laid down on her suitcase. It wasn't long until she fell asleep.
The dream didn't happen that time. She had no dream at all, it was just silence and black. It was silence until she heard someone call out her name. The female shot up when someone touched her. She let out a small shriek and pulled her knees up to her chest. She felt someone place there hand on her back and turned to see a familiar face. It was Melchior Gabor, her breathing stopped for a moment as his facial expression voiced concern.
"You should get home, it's dark your family…" He stopped for a moment and looked to her bag. "They're probbly worried." Marlisa looked at him and shruged holding the tears in her chest.
"It's not all around town yet? That's amusing, well Melchior, this medow is my new home. On night like this of course. And on rainy days, I'll go fuck some strange man for a bed and when it begins to snow… I'll hoprfully be gone by then. One way or another… I will hopefully be gone." Melchior put his hand out to her, she looked at it for a long minute. He took her hand and pulled her too her feet. She looked at him, very surprised as he picked up her suitecase. "Put it down! Put it down now! I don't want to go back! Melchior I am not going back to that house! I a staying here, let me go! Let me go now!" She shrieked, pounding her small fist on his chest. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her close to him. She let out a small cry, followed by another. She shook her head and continued to cry into his chest. He simply stood silently allowing her to let it all out. He cautiously placed a hand on her back.
"I'm not taking you back to that uncivilized place to be beaten anymore… But I will not let you die here in the medow. And I will not allow you to be spoiled by some undeserving drunk… You will stay with me, I will sleep on the floor until we can sort everything out…" Of course Melchior was not all too happy to have this girl in his home, but he was still happy beyond recognition. It was odd, he only just met this girl, but he was so intigued by her. He pulled her clooser to his chest just waiting for her crying to stop.
"I-If you want me_" He placed his hand over her mouth and shook his head. Marlisa closed her mouth, he grabbed her hand and the two walked off into town to his apartment. When the two arrived Melchior placed her bad down next to the bed and lead her too the bed. The female sat down and looked over to Melchior who was putting a kettle on the stove.
"Why exactly are you doing this?" Marlisa asked bluntly, obviously trying to heal her wounded pride. He simply shook his head and looked back to her. She narrowed her eyes and watched himcarefully. "It appears that you don't want me for a good fuck or else I'd probably be on my back right now." Melchiors face went pale, he just continued to make tea pretending not to hear her. He waned her, he knew that he wanted her so badly. He shuddered a bit at this thought. She laughed a bit. "You'll probably fucking sneak up on me in the night and rape me. Make me scream like your little bitch." She shook her head. And smirked a little. "You may seem refined, but you are still a man. A man who I know has a breaking point. Men… They are weak when it comes to there desires. Like my brother…" She stopped speaking for a moment. She didn't see it as Melchiors business, but she had already cried in front of him. Maybe he deserved to know what everything was about.
"What about you're brother Marlisa…" He said concern lacing his voice, this caused her to pause and look over at him. "What did you're brother do? Was he the one who hit you?" Marlisa nodded opening her mouth, the words were starting to come easier.
"Yeah… When I woke up this morning, my mom told me not to come back.. You see there was this silly fight that I'm not going to get into right now. Aparantly I'm a slut… Me a slut? Fucking funny… But, I flipped out on her, I couldn't control myself then my brother and fther came down stairs and then he was yelling then her pushed me and he hit me, again and again and again. It never seemed to stop, and my father just walked away. It stoped for a bit, then her started again. I was just standing there like an imbecile… I didn't even try to defend myself… I don't know why, I just fucking stood there." Melchior poured two cups of tea and sat next to her.
"He wont do that again… I wont tolerte it. I will_" Marlia shook her head and took a sip of tea.
"No, just leave it… It's ok. I'm going back to bed." She said handing him the tea. He stood up and walked to the table watching her as she fell asleep.
