Chapter Fifty-one : Let's Party
Lynn Vandestine
He wraps a towel around his lower naked body, stepping out from the shower, then looks at the mirror ummindfully.
"What kind of a freak showers at noon?" He suddenly hears a low voice behind him. Lynn turns, then notices his brother lying on his bed, holding a wine bottle in his hand.
"Only your brother does," he chuckles, lightly shaking his wet hair, then pulls out a blue shirt from the wardrobe. "Are you drunk?"
"Of course not," Mahone sits up idly, looking with sleepy eyes. "Wait."
Lynn turns to him, "What?"
Mahone puts the bottle down, then walks to him, feeling horrified. "Lynn, the scars in your back look....more. What happened to you?"
Lynn turns away from him, buttoning his shirt quickly. No, he didn't want to remember the three months when he was starving in a basement, being tortured and beaten up, w

Calgary, CanadaJune 2011Lynn Vandestine"I don't think we're going to the jazz festival," sighed Mahone, biting his nails."Stop doing that. Gross!" Lynn spoke with a hint of discomfort in his voice, watching his brother behind of a newspaper, also reading."This?" he held up his index finger, then cut the nail with his teeth, throwing it at him. "Want more?" he laughed, teasing him."You're disgusting!" Lynn threw the paper at him, shaking himself. It was a bright day of summer, their house was at the Edgemont neighborhood, an amazing place with mountains view. The Vandestine Castle had been standing there for generations, shining by its history. It had been almost two weeks since June had started, it was the time in Calgary for the international jazz festival. Though

Samlin Greenham"When is our competition gonna start?" I ask a girl from our team, Ally and sit on a bench."Boys team first. Then us," she replies. Today is the competition, I've been worrying about. It's not a big deal, just the selection for a captain. But somehow it feels a big deal to me, I'm not ready to hand my title to a new swimmer, when I've been the captain for three years.Five hundred yards freestyle.A crowd has already formed around the pool. The captain of the boys team is Brian Hardy. I usually don't consider people who aren't my friends, but if you asked me how his character was, I'd say he was nosy and clingy.Well, now he's coming. I look away."Hey, Sam." He shows a stupid grin, then turns to Ally, "Hey, Sis. How's my mother?"Brian is her elder br

Samlin GreenhamI suddenly open my eyes.I blink and slowly move my head. The pain in head is light, a little like when you are injected morphine.Where am I?I move myself in a seated position, then look around the room, remaining dark.It is my own room.I clamber off from the bed and stand up and switch on the light. The clothes I'm wearing is dry, surprising. The windows are opened, bringing cold air and the door is opened, so I warily step outside.Somebody brought me home.How night is it?"Mom, are you here?" I call out, wondering if someone's in our house. I stay still and try to hear any sound.It's quiet.I go downstairs and examine the front door, which is locked from inside. The grand clock says it's 7 p.m. a

Magdalen Islands, CanadaMay 2012Lynn VandestineHe picked up the pen again.Though he hesitated to write, because it wasn't easy. It wasn't easy for him to reveal his expression clearly, knowing he wouldn't be forgiven.Knowing he didn't deserve forgiveness.Knowing he had hurt her terribly.And also knowing it was his last living hour.Life.Hurt.Pain.And....love.Aren't they all similar? he thought. He had been alive for twenty years, so at least he could tell he lived. He could tell that he'd seen things, how things could be beautiful and how things could be twisted, turning into ugly.He wrote a little more."Can you imagine what am I gonna do? There's is a tiny boat waiting for me in the sea, alone. I'll lie down. I'll look up at the dark sky, at the shining stars. I'll not look back.The boat will be moving.I will be moving.

Lowell High School, San FranciscoSamlin Greenham"A new kid is coming in our class." Emilia says, arranging some books in her locker. I don't know why, but she looks happy about something."Boy or girl?" I ask and close my locker. I have to change my shirt, because I ran for almost one hour and didn't go back to home, directly came to school. God, I'm still sweating."A boy." She replies, smiling and narrows her eyes. "And you're single."I grimace. "And I am going to the bathroom." While passing her, I notice some CDs in her locker."M83, huh?" I pick one, frowning."Jesus! It's a French band, Em!" I read the labels. Midnight city, we own the sky. And.....Summer love."They formed in France, but they sing English songs. They are in America now and they are pretty good," she explains.I stare at her silently. I know M83.But something seems missing.Isn't it Jake's favorite ba

San Francisco, USAApril 2012Lynn VandestineHe was standing in an old, mouldy garage, where he had come to meet a guy. Actually, he had no other choice except keeping his order and coming here.His heart was throbbing with fear.At that moment, a man came into the place. He had a bald head, wrinkled skin and that kind of blue sharp eyes which made someone real scared. Two suited man with black sunglasses also appeared behind him."Agent Stanley." The old man, named Chief Malum, said in a deep voice and stopped a feet away from him."Chief Malum," Lynn replied flatly."I never asked you why you don't use your father's surname." Chief folded his arms across his chest, pinning him with his eyes.God, he hated this man."Because my so-called father was a good man. Just like you." He bantered him.Chief laughed lightly. "Oh, he was. It's so bad you killed him. You didn't need to."

I uncontrollably sit on the ground.Apparently I fall."Hey, hey, you okay?" Edwin hurriedly sits beside me."I'm fine." I answer shakily, closing my eyes. Actually I wasn't fine. I haven't seen my psychiatrist for almost a month, haven't taken my medication. Now, the flashbacks are gone, but I still have the headache.I am breathing hard.I wonder what caused the flashbacks."C'mon," he wraps my left arm around his shoulder and lifts me up. "The lake is near. You need some fresh air."I walk with him, dropping my head in his shoulder. I feel a little surprised by my act, because I don't even know him.Or maybe I do.His body scent seems familiar."Don't try to think too much. When you apply pressure to remember a thing of your past, which was maybe painful, it affects your neuron cells.""It wasn't painful. Perhaps," I stop walking.And I open my eyes.Sudd

Los Angelos, USAAugust 2016Lynn VandestineHe enters in this long building.The building is cloud-kissing, like it was built to stand with pride. He's feeling a bit tired because of the five hour driving, yet he can't avoid the anger in his mind.The sexy black receptionist in the desk, Landy Keller, smiles sweetly after seeing him."Handsome boy, long time no see!" She pouts playfully. "Where have you been? Oh, my mistake. Of course, you had work, didn't you?"Lynn puts his elbows on the mahogany desk, no mood in flirting with her. "Yeah, I had. Can I see Chief now?""Um__Chief's not here, Agent Stanley." Her smile immediately drops, smoothing her curly hair nervously."Landy, it's important." He ignores her, briskly stepping front to the elevator."No," she grips his hand tightly. "I'm saying it again, Chief's not here and you can't go in without an appointment. Now step aside."
