Chapter 1- "Stormy Blues "
Skip town. slow down
Push it to the east coast
Step down turn around
Push it to the west
Need less, use less
We're asking for too much I guess
Cause all we get is...
This is a story about people coming together in the most peculiar way. A set of short stories binged into one, about, lust, friendships, hardships, joy, sorrow, hate and most important- love.
A young woman dressed in cutoff acid washed jeans and a navy blue baggy T- shirt emerged from the garage face covered in oil and dirt. Her light honey brown hair loosely tied in a ponytail shone brightly in the Saturday afternoon sun as she took a swig from her bottle. Working on the car and Harley Davidson was hard work, especially when it was 87F out. The young girl went to the backdoor of the house and washed her hands.
She could smell the aroma of bacon sizzling in a pan as toast shot up from the toaster. Her grin widened as someone was making a BLT sandwich, most likely her brother. Her hands quickly grabbed it and smothered the tan bread with mayonnaise then with the many strips of bacon. After creating her masterpiece of food, she pulled out a chair and sat down eating her meal.
Just then on cue her brother approached her and snagged the sandwich from her slender hands and bit into taking in the fatty goodness. This made the young adult angry and she shot up from the chair eyebrows furrowed.
"What the hell Chris! Give that back it's mine." She pouted and tried snagging it back.
He laughed at her charade and stretched out his arm further making it now impossible to reach.
"Come on Claire, if anything you were stealing this from me... I just happened to make it in time and steal back what's rightfully mine." He smirked as she snarled rolling her eyes.
Chris knew that he was right and she hated it.
"Whatever... caveman." With that she went off to her room to get a towel, the shower was calling her name. Chris sat down on the kitchen chesterfield and stared into the outside world. The sun was fading quickly with every passing second and the sky soon turned black, he could see the neighborhood children scatter as rain set in.
I know, I know you tried to change things
I know you tried to change
I know
He walked over to the window and opened it smelling the freshness of the cold rain. Chris had always enjoyed rainy days, it always smelled so nice and set his moods into the most creative and relaxing change. His lips curved as a breeze passed to him, the hairs on his neck stood up and an exciting shiver went down his back.
Upstairs Claire sat down on the shower floor and let the hot water cascade her body. She closed her eyes and rested her head on the wall and thought let her mind wander about. Images of her childhood flashed with every second, her parents' funeral... Chris had thought she was too young to remember it but she did. A heavy sigh escaped from her as she lathered herself in raspberry body wash. The botanical smell filling the steamed closed room. She smiled feeling safe and comfortable knowing that the dark days have passed and that she was finally living a normal life.
Her hand traveled up a scar left on her thigh from the decaying times of Raccoon City. Her eyebrows furrowed as a soft glaze took over her eyes....
"Steve..."
Another heavy sigh bestowed her,
"Why am I getting like this .. What happened happened theirs nothing more I could of done or do. I'm here now and I'm happy."
With that she turned the faucet off and grabbed the burgundy towel and wrapped it around herself. Chris came up the stairs when he noticed his sister emerge from the bathroom.
"Hey Claire, I'm going for a walk."
"In the rain."
"Yup, I'll be back in a few hours, you need anything?"
Claire paused for a moment and thought about it. She then looked at him and nodded.
"Yeah, if you pass by a store pick me up some brownies."
"Period coming huh?" He laughed as he put on his brown leather jacket.
Claire rolled her eyes and scoffed. Chris chuckled once more before bidding her a see you later and took off while she dried off in her room. The rain was heavy but inviting as the streets where all empty and silent. He always loved solidarity, it was like a serenade to him...
"I miss you guys... especially you.." He said to himself, ever since parting with his friends after the Umbrella confrontation everything has been different... quiet. Everyone that had survived has made a life for themselves now, actually living life to it's fullest. And here he was living with his sister and having a steady job as a mechanic. There were his occasional dates with the opposite sex but nothing ever came to compare with her. She was perfect, the personality-flawless, humor, witty, and strikingly beautiful.
Thunder cracked the sky followed by a bright flash, the storm had only began...
