Contentment Left Behind
Monday, January 29th, 2007"Um, no thanks. That kinda bitch isn’t my cup of tea," she retorts with puff from her cigarette.
"Save the drill for your horse of an asshole,love. I tried. I’ll see your ass tomorrow at work. Call me if you need me." She watches her friend as she swings her handbag over her shoulders. They cheek-to-cheeked and she disappeared of into the crowd towards the main door.
So what if I’m depressed, she thought. So fucking what if I feel lonely and need company. She sucked in her cigarette long and hard, in an attempt to possibly take all the heavy pain in her heart away. What seemed to be an innocuous defeat got her choking in her own breath.
She angrily threw the cigarette butt down on the floor and squashed it beneath her Manolo Blahnik pumps. Stupid fucking assholes. Bitches. Fucking ashes on the floor. Fucking smoke tried to kill my ass. She drowned the last bit of her drink and grabbed her purse on the table. One of her legs got caught up with one of the stools. She falls down, curses loud enough for everyone around her to hear. With as much dignity as she could muster, she stood up and stared back at the audience that looked at her like she was a matter of much interest, the sea-lion balancing a beach ball on her nose.
"Stuff that smoke up your face, you bastards. Your wives at home’s feeding yer wailin child and you’re lickin up whore’s asses. To hell with you all!" she yelled as she clutched her purse close to her breasts. She walked down as haughtily as she could towards the exit, flinging her arms around and making as much noise, havoc to anyone that got in her way.
The cold dusk of night air hits her face as soon as she steps out. Nothing could deter her sadness within. She gulped in as much fresh air as she could, and stared out at the dark sky, forming in her mind, her body, her soul.
"You took him away, You bastard! He said he’ll never leave me but YOU took HIM away! WHY?! What did he do to YOU to deserve this?! What did I do?!" Tears were streaming down her face she she cried out loud, forcing out the answer from The One. Her knees buckled; it gave way to her vulnerabality, went down right to her weaknesses in her body to scratch it out again.
There she was again, begging for an answer, yearning for him to wrap his arms around her again. Defeat wasn’t an option. Not even to fate. She wasn’t going to settle down knowing that he was dead. She wasn’t just going to be contented with the answer. She’ll find out. She’ll find out Why.
Thus her journey begins.
