Safe Haven Pt. 1
I woke early that Sunday, dreams, or should I say nightmares, not allowing me to want to even attempt at sleep; nor could I lie there wide awake.

You're a fool, boy. You'll never deserve him. Being a whore was too good for you. You should have stayed in your box where you belong.The voice was sudden and crippling and suddenly I felt her hands around my throat.Mykel must have noticed the change in the air because when he looked at me his whole face changed.He slowly leaned forward and stamped the blunt out before sitting back just as carefully."Mattie?" He reached but pulled away when I tried to scamper backward and away from him, a whimper escaping me.All I saw was her face swimming before my eyes, her malicious smile spreading like cancer across her distorted face."No. No, please."

She's got a smile it seems to me Reminds me of childhood memories Where everything Was as fresh as the bright blue sky Now and then when I see her face She takes me away to that special place And if I'd stare too long I'd probably break down and cry His voice was nothing like I'd ever heard before. My breath caught as he sang. There was no need for him to scan his eyes over the monitor. His eyes stayed locked on me as if this was for me and me alone. Oh, oh, oh Sweet child o' mine Oh, oh, oh, oh Sweet love of mine She's got eyes of the blu

I remembered the way they cowered from Mykel as he spoke, glancing in my direction as if I would speak up...or if they could reach me..."You were smaller," Mykel said softly, kissing my cheek. He rested his forehead against where his lips met my skin and sighed."I wasn't when I ran off," I countered."Things are different now than they were then, also, Mattie," Liz said. I looked at her and shrugged. "Think about it, doll," she went on, "when you ran away, you'd had sixteen years of abuse that you dealt with every day. You were kept in a state of fear. They trained you to be afraid.

I melted into his embrace, and he picked me up from the tub, his bigger body holding me against his chest bridal style. No words were exchanged as he carried me into his room, my clothes already laid out on his bed.He set me down by the bed and we both made short order of getting dressed.Suddenly I was angry. At myself. At Mykel. At my parents, my sister, the very world. I stood beside the bed, my back to Mykel, my arms crossed over my chest defiantly.I felt more than I heard him walk up behind me. My breathing stopped and I stiffened as he touched me. His fingers, barely grazing the tops of my shoulders slid away and I heard him sigh lightly behind me."Mattie..." His hands lightly gripped my elbows in an attempt to turn me to face him, but I shook from his gr

Gently she pushed me to a sitting position, her warm, smaller hands cradling my face. "I love you, Mattie. There aren't any conditions to go along with that. I don't care how much you may cry, baby, or how often you freak out. You're not a nuisance. To either of us."But as far as I am concerned, Mattie, you're just as much a part of me as...oh, my love...I could never just cast you aside." She thumbed away tears from my cheeks before vanquishing them from her own. "I knew what I was getting into when I hired you, Mattie. Do you think I was unprepared for what might happen bringing you here?"I brought you here, permanently, because I love you, Mattie. And I've already lost two brothers. I won't lose you, too. I'm not going anywhere."With that, she pulled me back into her embrace, repeated she loved me in a softl

"I'm so in love with you, Mattie. Not for your body, but for you. And..." he paused and looked to his sister before meeting my gaze, as I looked to him when he stopped talking. "I've never felt this way before. Not...not with Kaiden, not with anyone. And...with as much as Kaiden's death about destroyed me, Mattie, I don't think I could survive losing you. In any form."I watched as tears fell unbidden from his eyes and he made no move to brush them away.Liz still dragged her fingers through my hair, calming me. "I love you, too, Mattie. I've grown pretty attached to you these last few years, huh. Sitting out on the swing with you in the mornings is m

"I'm proud of you, too. Tonight I'll show you how proud I am." I whispered the words against his cheek, hearing his breath catch. I pulled back and smiled slyly at his flushed skin. As I turned I subtly raked my fingers lightly across his crotch, and I chuckled to myself at his involuntary whimper."So, how about a drink?" I smiled at the look he cast me."Yes, how about? Only a couple, though, we have work tomorrow morning." She gave me a pointed look that told me to make sure she only had those couple. There was a sudden change in her eyes then, a flicker, and if I hadn't been paying attention, I'd have missed it.We did end up only having two drinks a piece before Liz bid her goodnights. I watched her leave before standing to follow.She left her door open for me to

We both jumped and turned to face where the voice came from. Neither of us heard him come home.Liz paled. Mykel stood in the doorway, his hands clenched in fists at his side."How the fuck did he know where you are?"He sounded angry and Liz tensed beside me. "Mykel, you need to take a breath." I walked up to him and placed my hand on his chest. His heart was pounding."Mykel," I said in low tones and his eyes flickered to me. "You need to control yourself. You're scaring your sister."At those words, his entire demeanor changed. Carefully he approached Liz and knelt down, his hands on her knees."Lizzy, I'm sorry. That...wasn't how that was supposed to come out."
