Gun Your Way To My Heart
Restaurant
Aralyn groaned rolling on her bed. Who was calling her when she wanted to just sleep?
She picked up the phone not bothering with the caller ID
Marae
That's no way to talk to your best friend
Aralyn
Be a sweetheart and leave me be, I'm tired!
Marae
Are you now? So you're gonna ignore the fact that you promised to meet up this Saturday which is today!?
Marae
You forgot. Maybe being bitchy runs in your blood
Aralyn
You don't want me to come, do you?
Marae
Come on Ara, I left Liam just so we could spend time together and what? You're gonna let me regret it!
Marae
Of course Blair too. It's always been just us
Forty-five minutes later...
Aralyn waves as she enters the restaurant
Marae
The hell! You are late!
Aralyn shows herself to a seat
Aralyn
Blair, you look lovely
Marae
Yeah, compliment her and ignore me
Blair
Come on, you know you're beautiful!
Marae
A compliment could also help
Aralyn
Yeah, you're.....great
Marae
Great? Why the pause then?
Marae
Seriously, you are such a -
Waiter
Hello ladies. Would you like to order?
Aralyn
What'd you like to have Blair?
Blair
Oh, I'd like some tea
Aralyn
Alright, green tea for Blair and strawberry 🍓 juice for me
Aralyn
I didn't see you at all😒
Marae
I'll have hibiscus tea?
Aralyn
Thought you said that shit sucks the last time I made you one
Marae
Perhaps you make it wrong
Waiter
Alright, I'll get that
Blair
Alright, what's with the mood!?
Aralyn
Nothing that concerns you two
Marae
Wounded? Look at all the blood I'm losing
Blair
Since when are you this cold to us.
Marae
Whatever once more and I'll kill you
Aralyn
Did you just threaten to murder me?
Aralyn
Blair, I will kill both of you before you can attack
Marae
Come on, what's wrong?
Aralyn
I mean I was resting
Marae
Who in the world forgets intentionally?
Marae
*sigh* So you're mad cause I woke you up
Marae
Such a... sorry then
Waiter
Here are your orders
Aralyn
So what are we gonna do?
Aralyn
How about getting stuffed with food
Blair
It's my day, in your face, Marae♪♪
Aralyn
Let's finish up here first. And if we delay, there'll be no time to shop
Shopping
Marae asks holding up a little pink dress
Aralyn
No, you will look like a moron.
Aralyn
Get the black dress, you look good in it
Blair
And what do you think about this sparkly blue one?
Aralyn
It matches your hair, it's nice
Marae
But enough about us, what about you, Ara?
Marae and Blair push her into the dressing room.
She keeps mumbling even as she changes.
Blair
Come on, you can style it your own way
Aralyn
Are you done? Let's go
They walk out together after Aralyn pays
Aralyn
Don't mean to be a party pooper but it's 6:58pm
Blair
Come on, don't mean to be yet you're still being one
Aralyn
Look, I've had a bad day and I wanna sleep it off
Marae
Blair's staying with me, wanna sleepover?
Aralyn
Maybe next time, should I drive you home?
Marae
No, goodbye then. Be safe
Blair
Text us when you reach home
And they walk off in the opposite directions
Aralyn walks to her car and immediately drives off.
Blair
Do you think we did something?
Marae
No, she's like that. You should be glad she talks to you. She would barely talk to me years ago.
Marae
Yeah, Aralyn's the strongest person I know. She's been through a lot you know.
Marae
There's always at least something messed up in your life
After a thirty-minute drive
And a half an hour of 🛀 showering
Aralyn picks up her phone while smiling. She could already guess who it was
Blair and Marae we're checking up on her
Marae
T How disappointing. I looked forward to your burial
Blair
And the annoying zombie awakened
Aralyn
Yeah, leave the guy!
Aralyn
I reached home, showered and wanna sleep. Who's with me?
Blair
Aren't you scared living alone?
Aralyn
No roommates to use my perfume and shampoo
Aralyn
You know, one day you'll not find my breathing body and regret saying those last words to me
Aralyn
And I can finally sleep!
She jumps into her bed squealing as the warmth envelopes her
Nightmare
The little Aralyn shouts as her step-father pulls her up the stairs by her hair
Duncan
And who were ya calling, huh?
Duncan
That didn't sound like no one to me
Duncan
You're getting yourself boyfriends now, eeh?
Duncan
You wanna be a slut?
Duncan
You wanna be like your mother?
Duncan
So you calling me deaf. You calling me a liar!
Duncan
Then what is? You think I'm stupid, don't you?
He says pushing her to the floor
Duncan
Think you're all grown up you can fool me now. Don't forget I made you
Aralyn
Liar!!! You're nothing but just my disgusting stepfather and mom's dead now so we have no connection. We're both related, you're no one to me!
Duncan
You're right about that. That bitch is dead
Aralyn
My mother was no bitch!
Duncan
You shut the **** up!
He shouts laying a blow on a face
Duncan
The shit was just another loose lady
He lands another punch before beginning to strangle her
Duncan
You know what they do to bitches
Aralyn gasps for air trying to push his hands away
Duncan
Try that shit again and I'll show you
He says tossing her to the side
Aralyn walks up soaked in sweat
She immediately reaches for the glass of water on her bed
Aralyn
Just relax, you're safe. No one's gonna find you!
Aralyn
Fucking five in the morning
Aralyn
Just had to go two more hours
She shouts tossing the glass to the floor and it shattters
Aralyn
Why are you still here? This should be about me, I get to be happy free but no, you're here
Aralyn
I hope you die and rot in hell!
She falls to the floor in tears
