Another Tale From This Side of Dark

"Your brokenness is beautiful"Thomas grunts.

Claire closes her eyes,bites her lip and waits.

Waits for it to come. It has been so long since she felt anything.

Wouldnt it be good if she felt something from him?

As far as first days go this was low on the totom pole. And again he whispers as he runs up her leg and underneath her skirt.

"I just want to see if I have made you wet"

No. She screams inside.

No. But again. She just lets him. As all the boys before.

And she moves her legs apart.

He pushes a finger in and grunts. Moving on top of her.

All crunched up in his car.

A tear rolls down her cheek as she thinks back to when Johnny was alive and things were good.

She might have been looking for Johnny to no avail. Instead of looking in Thomas’s eyes.

He pulls back and mutters.

"Whats wrong with you? Do you want me to stop?"

She shakes her head. No.

"No,Keep going"She whispers."I just want to feel something"

He moves inside her. Fast and quick.Then slow. He kisses her and then she stops holding her breath.

Looks in his eyes.

And realizes. He has been empty too.

He has been in the dark too.

Thomas leans forward and kisses her eyelids,Wipes her tears.

And whispers back.

"Me too Claire,Me too."
