QUEEN SNAKE

a soft sigh left her pinked lips before, after learning everything to do with that DANGEROUS game, blue hues looked at her mother . Betty did mean when she said she p r o m i s e d, she would never go near that game unless it was to shut it down and she did VOW to shut it down. 

“—— I promise MOM . “

                                                    the biker girl traded her LEATHERS for a big LIE.

                           HE ISN’T SURPRISED by the way she seems to think regarding what happened, the fact that her husband or former husband had in fact killed several people in town. but that wasn’t on her and it wasn’t her fault for not seeing it because hell he hadn’t been living under the sae roof for some time as it was. a sigh escaped him and as his fingers brushed along the edge of his brow he stepped up closer to her.                                he came to check on her and that was what he was going to do. “ we all missed it. “ he reminded quickly as he stood before her. “ none of us saw it, he had us all fooled alice. “ he reminded brow arching. “ so we just have to —- move on. “ he admitted. bad advice but he was never very good at this. 

          move on.  that was easy for him to say, wasn’t it ?  he hadn’t lived through it, hadn’t had to suffer this so close to home.  everyone seemed able to move on aside from her.  she found it hard to even look at the andrews these days, knowing she’d defended a man like hal for so many years.

                           NO. HE SHOULDN’T. but yet here he was unable to stop himself, honestly he had turned around three times just coming up her driveway. telling himself it was stupid — that there was no point rehashing it all. their son was gone, that conversation was best not had — right? it wasn’t about the conversation, hell he didn’t want to have it, he was okay NOT HAVING IT but there was that part of him who had to check on her.                                the sentimental side had to know she was okay. even after all this time, after they were torn apart, married other people. other lives – apart. things always seemed to lead back to one person; alice. “ maybe i like the punishment? “ he offered shrugging his shoulders. “ i wanted to see that you were alright. “ he added in being a little more serious then his first statement. 

          you don’t deserve him.  that’s what she tells herself when she looks at him.  it’s been difficult to admit, but ever since he’d slithered his way back into her life, she’s been finding old feelings resurfacing.  and it wasn’t fair because she knew they couldn’t be.  right ?  after all they’d been through, after what she’s done and how she’s treated him, how she’s treated  everyone  she doesn’t deserve the happiness.  doesn’t deserve the care.

          but here he is regardless.
