I waited a little while, for about 10 minutes before my Uncle Ben finally got home. When I heard the door knob, my heart started to race. What should I tell him? What should I do? Maybe it wasn't such a good idea, but now, it was too late.

"Susan! I need some help here!" he yelled in a happy tone. He had three huge brown paper bags in his hands as he tried to walk towards the living room. As his wife, Susan, didn't seem to come, I decided to help him. I used my ability to lift the three bags and put them on the wooden table infront of the couch I was sitting on. Uncle Ben frozed when he saw me.

"Sha-Shawn?" he asked in amazement but with a smile, a tender smile.

"I..I hope you don't mind...I..I wanted to talk." I replied quite nervously.

"Of course I don't mind! I'm..I'm really glad you came by." his smile increased in tenderness and satisfaction, it kinda made me felt at ease. And of course, it was followed by the usual, "Do you want something to drink?"

"Really?? I can't believe this!!" I said to him in a laugh. In just a few minutes, he and I became...friends. He told me more about himself, how he once met the Royal Family in England, his little fight with a star, etc. He was cool.

"And how about you? How's your life going?" he asked with the same tender and caring smile, this made me know that he really wanted to catch up on those years he missed. I wanted to tell him something, but I was afraid it would spoil the atmosphere, so I played the game.

"Right now, it's kinda cool. I've got problems only in some schools subjects, like my all time hated subject, Maths! I hate Maths more than anything else in this world." I replied, my nervousity had disappeared. I don't know how but it disappeared.

"And...do you have a girlfriend?"

I was sitting at one of the 7 white coloured tables outside the cafe. With an orange juice infront of me, I was waiting for my boyfriend, Shawn. He seemed so nervous about meeting his Uncle. I saw the latter enter the house a while ago, I suppose they're chatting. I wonder if Shawn's okay.

"Well, well, well, look who's here." said a familiar voice behind me, bothering me in my thoughts.

"Kevin, what do you want?" I asked as he sat infront of me. He had this smile, the smile that I hated the most. The one which says, I've got a plan and it's a good one.

"You know what I want." he replied coldly as he took my glass of juice and drank the whole of it. I hate him, I really HATE that guy!

"No, I don't. Tell me, what do you want??" I asked again, with anger in my voice. Can't he just leave me alone? I don't want to talk to him, can't he go away?

"Listen to me! You better not play the fool with me. You know what will happen if you don't do what I say. You will LOSE your dear and lovely boyfriend." he replied with this smile, this disgusting smile.

"DON'T YOU DO ANYTHING TO HIM!!!" I yelled with anger and hate. How far can he go?? That asshole! He won't spoil my life again!

"Oh! Why can't I?? YOU did something to someone dear to me!! And you know what? You'll have to PAY for it!". He got up and went away. No. No. NO!
He won't spoil my life again!!!

"She's so beautiful!". There, I said it again. Lord, why can't I stop thinking about her? It can't be love, what I feel for her is so much STRONGER! I'm obsessed by her. (Taking a photo out of a wooden box infront of me) Her hair is so special, the color of fire, of passion. She's perfect. She's a goddess!

I want to be with her, I'm meant for her, she's meant for me. I will do anything to be with her, she has to be mine, yeah...she got to be MINE. But how? She just broke up with this Michael freak, will she be ok to start another relationship? ...Fuck! Even if she doesn't want a relationship, I'll force her to have one. I'll be so good that she won't resist, she'll be mine and mine only.

After our studies, I'll marry her, we'll live together in an apartment. She will stay at home to take care of the kids and everything else that a woman should take care of. When I'll get back from work, she'll have the dinner ready, then she will massage my shoulders, then she will put the kids to sleep and finally we'll make love over and over again. It's gonna be like that every single day of our life! Yeah! That's our future...me and Maria!

"FOX! Dad is callin' ya!! He's in a BAD mood!" yelled my brother from outside. Damn! I forgot to take out the trash yesterday night, I'm gonna get the usual punishment. Fuck! I better hurry or else Dad will be even more angry! He will tell me, You've been a bad bad boy so you're gonna get the punishment!

"What do you want to buy first? Clothes or shoes?" I asked my all-time best friend, Kathryn. She wanted to do some shopping before her first day in school. I'm so glad that she's back!

"I dunno. What's the most important?"

We thought about it for a moment, then in unison, "Clothes!"

We laughed a bit then we headed towards one of the best clothes' shops in this mall. We didn't even know what we wanted to buy, we would just enter the shop, look around and pick something that looks nice and which is still in the fashion. Kathryn bought her usual type of clothes, some tops and some leather pants.

"I'm gonna look really sexy in these!" she said to me with a grin. That's my best friend! I didn't like to wear tops and pants, it didn't really fit me. I'd rather wear a nice and sexy dress, yeah, much better. I chose a black and soft dress. I wonder if I'm gonna wear this at school, but anywayz.

Kathryn had finished paying for her clothes when I chose mine, so she told me she would wait for me outside, just in case a cute guy would pass by. I agreed with it. She sure hasn't changed, same ol' Kathryn.

After trying my dress, I asked for a slightly bigger size. I should stop eating so much fat foods. Mean burgers! As I was going to try the slightly bigger dress, someone called me.

"Maria??" I asked in disbelief. It's been quite a while since I talked to her. I heard she broke up with Michael, it seemed that the latter was in love with someone else, but I don't know who. What does she want?

"It's been a while, huh? So, what's up?"

Am I dreaming or what? Why is she so suddenly friendly with me. I know it sounds silly but...c'mon! That's Maria Rulin, the sister of the boy I broke the heart, the girlfriend of my ex.

"Nothing really interesting. And how about you?"

She smiled, it wasn't a...well...it was a friendly smile. No denial in that but, all this is so weird. Geez.

"I'm okay. Um...my uncle Ben just came back from nowhere."

What????????

(I'm lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling)
I just saw him, that asshole! He will pay, he HAS to pay! After what he did to me, I think he really deserves to suffer, even more than I suffered! I will make sure his life will become a hell. He made mine a hell. I remember it all, I'll never forget it.

It happened in South Africa, when he arrived in town. I was standing near the local shop, buying stuff as it was said that there would be a huge storm that night. He seemed scared, so, I decided to go and talk to him. We became friends quickly. He always looked sad. We spent that night in my tree-house, the rain was falling, the sky was completely dark. We had so much fun. I think he even became my best friend.

Some weeks passed, all was going on smoothly and well. We had our fun, we worked together, played together, we did everything together. Until, one day, SHE came back. Adriana. She was one of the most beautiful girls ever in this world, I loved here since I was like 5 or 6. I didn't knew it at that time, but when I saw her that day, it all came back to me. But what I didn't know, was that Taylor fell in love with her too.

As I'm a very shy guy, Taylor was the one who got to talk to her first. She fell for him. I lost. I was a bit angry at Taylor but...as I considered him as the brother I never had, I forgave him. I could wait for another girl. Unfortunately, things started to get worse. Taylor and Adriana were always fighting, sometimes she even slapped him. But the latter always managed to earn her forgiveness. Then, one night, the phone rang.

Adriana seemed so scared on the phone, her voice was shaky, like if she was terrified. She told me she had a huge fight with Taylor, that they had broken up. I felt so sorry for her, I loved her. Then, she added that she was scared of Taylor, she told me that he told her that he would never leave her alone and there was no way she was going to break up with him. She asked me for help, she asked me to come to her house. I accepted.

God, if only I went quicker, or earlier. When I arrived at her house, it was late at night, I saw Taylor getting out of the house in a hurry. I ran inside, and...there, she was lying on the floor, dead. She was DEAD. I couldn't believe my eyes. I immediately tried to call the police but the phone line was cut. I ran outside to call for help, but he got back, Taylor got back. He begged me not to tell anyone what happened, that he would do it himself. He seemed so sincere, so I believed him.

The next day...he was gone. No one knew where he went. He just went away. That day, I promised to myself, that I would find him and make him pay for what he did. It took me some time, but I found him...and he's gonna pay. He's GONNA PAY!
