body div#devskin0 hr { }
I admitted some things on the few minutes before it turned midnight. At first it was hatred then my eyes digressed to the few crackers I scored from the party tray. My body tilted in the seat having my bent arm hold me up. I looked aloof but not this man's wine that splashed in the glass next to me. This man's smile was wider than normal and his cherry cheeks spoke more than my fingers crushing the side of my face. Every motion he made was met with a quizzical brow I couldn't look at the laughter that filtered in from all the rooms especially this room. I took the nearest drink and slumped off the table but not without a few eyes to stare my back down. "Hey...Hey!" A gruff voice said aloud, "That's my drink bud." I rolled my head to side to look back and simply said "I don't care." Not even sure how I got in this mood but it rested on my shoulders till I found the fireplace, it's my second home but the one person who I cared for was not here.
I found collapsed bodies on the bed where I shared my secrets to this person I cared for. I hit their sides making them wake up realizing they have missed most of the night and told me "thank you." I smiled and hit the bed while they both left. Soon the room spun and the laughter downstairs was unbearably close to my ears. Thats when I looked up it was two men sort of stunned to see me or..."We're sorry didn't realize anyone was in here." I got up from the bed and in passing them said "It's fine just napping." I closed the door before anything could be said back but I knew going downstairs was yet again, another place where I'll be interrupted. I took another staircase one that was dark, with a little window looked out on to the fields in the backyard. How peaceful.
Snow pitted on the porch's stairs all i want was to step outside just needed to pass a few folks. I entered the laundry room then turned to the kitchen. It seems most people hang out in this place than the other 5 or so rooms on this floor. I squeezed, looked overjoyed and waved a bit to many until I opened that door. Damn that cold cold air. I breathed it in feeling nothing but it's icy entrance. I guess I lost myself because a man in a black overcoat was sitting on the stairs; I really wanted to jump over. He turned his sharp face to the side pushing this longish hair back revealing the short sides. I bit my lips. I pushed some snow in my awkwardness but he stirred and turned with a surprised "Oh!" My heart dropped. It's that guy from the table. He started to play and push his fingers as they lay close between his legs. "Do you...Do you ever miss her?"
There was a long pause as he rested his hand into the snow, burying it like that day we met her. I shook my head "No, no." I shut my chin to my neck as I started to ache from the sadness I tried so hard to suppress. He got up, as a hot nostalgic happiness sunk into my chest. His militaristic coat swallowed me when he embraced my frozen frame but "Stop. Em I..." There it was those tears I held for Emily. I looked up at Jake, his face hardened when I mistook him for Emily but that wasn't the case and I didn't have the urge to correct myself. There we stood so grateful for each others embrace but regret folded under our back. I took his hand and raised it like a dance so ready to begin but no not tonight. Tonight we rested our heads knowing that at least someone else knew the pain we had.
