I flew by car after car through every intersection My foot heavy on the gas pedal with each passing second, going faster and faster until everything I sped by was si the vehicles in my way Horns blared from every direction, but they didn’t stop me
Nothing could fucking stop me
Not then
Not now
Not ever
“You know it as ets, theto learn the truth One day soon, I won’t be themonster that haunts her dreams”
I took a sharp left onto a back street, causingout a pedestrian as I sped up the hill to avoid ravel as I took a curve, not letting up on the accelerator Shifting into neutral, drifting sideways into the straightahere I drove the gear stick hard into third then fourth gear Speedingnothing to drown out hts
I tried, I tried so fucking hard to get her to safety Knowing she never stood a chance by my side
No one did
“I pro you say and orderyou up in the ht I will do whatever it takes toprofusely Gasping for her next breath
“Jesus Christ, A to do with it”
“Then why? Why are you doing this? Is it because your father knows aboutto tell And if he did, it doesn’t ood at, you said it yourself! I won’t leave the house I’ll stay in my room I don’t care!”
“What kind of life would that be for you?”
“One that’s with you! And Rosarío! The only life I know!”
“Motherfucker!” I roared untilwheel “Why couldn’t you have listened tolisten tomy foot deeper onto the accelerator
Sixty-five miles per hour…
Seventy…
Eighty…
Eight-five…
Ninety…
“Please,” she panted
Baitingme
I growled, crashingthe side of her face withher botto her hard into the wall behind us, causing her mouth to fly open froue with mine
The taste of her
The feel of her
The scent of her
Was all around me…
“Jesus Christ, it won’t stop! It won’t ever fucking stop! Justall the tiht
“Were you this needy with your Papi? Always up his ass, begging for h of that already? All I do is provide for you”
“It’sfor an ounce of warmth
“ToSo, what the fuck can I do for you now…”
As soon as I reached Evita’s ear, I sucked it betweenher ht
Pulling the trigger into Amira’s heart
Finishing her off completely…
“Why? Why do you keep doing this to me? What have I ever done to you, todoor me like one…”
“I hate you, Da down the sides of her face as she started to slam her fists into my
chest…
Ninety-five miles per hour…
Breaking triple digits…
I drove, battling the saint and the sinner onexistence Conte the life I wanted, the one I deserved, and the one I lived in
“How the fuck did it co do this to her? What the fuck?!”
I loved her with every last breath in my body, every piece ofbelonged to her
I Belonged To Her
“Turn around, just turn the car around and ht!” I shouted, slaain “Shut the fuck up! You’re no good for her! You’ve never been good enough for her! You’re nothing but a fucking monster! It’s who you are!”
Another sharp turn, another curve, another hill
Faster…
Faster…
Faster…
I left Rosarío’s house last night with every intention of never looking back Finally leaving Amira behind to set her free As far away froed I went to her for one reason
To say goodbye
Like everything with Aoddamn destiny For the first tiized for all the shit I put her through, and all the regrets I could never change All the moments between us would forever be a part of ed I repented forevery last word spoken, and left her behind
Except, fate stepped in and put a halt onto avoid the ruthless, unforgiving motherfucker
It was already set in motion, the fucker knehat I wanted, needed, and couldn’t live without
“I caift, and to tell you I fucking love you, Muñeca I will always, no matter what, love you I need you to remember that You think you could do that for me?”
After giving her oodbye, Ion the brakes, skidding across the wet pavement when I remembered I still had her doll, Yuly There was no way in hell I was going to take Yuly away frouilty conscience Silently praying I wouldn’t have to see her beautiful face again
