Synopsis
Emily
Broken, used and worthless.
They are the words that have been branded into my mind
for the past five years.
Now freed, but they stole my smile and left me with
only tears.
My dreams of the future died right before my eyes.
I'm fighting to find my way back, but I’m too weak.
Kanye
I won’t let her walk this road alone.
I’ll hold on for her. The dark can’t last forever.
Her heart beat keeps time for the rest of my life.
Our fate will not be denied or erased.
It will be beautiful.
“How great your love is for me.” I whisper.
“Forever Emmy”
Excerpt
Found, saved,
released… freed.
Should I have a smile on my face? I should be happy,
right? I’m going home. I’m going to see my family and I’m going to be safe from
now on. No more hands touching me. No more bruises to watch fade away from my
skin.
But I’m broken, ruined, and worthless. What can I
offer them? I’m tainted. Darkness has touched me more times than I can wrap my
mind around.
This suburban family doesn’t know what true evil is.
I’ve laid beside the devil countless times and he’s turned me black. Inside and
out.
The world around me grows louder and I come out of my
thoughts, staring at the ground. I turn my head to look for Kanye, who is
standing behind me. We just stepped off the plane that brought me home. He’s
watching me, again. Each time I glimpse a look at him, my breath catches. He
hasn’t changed at all in the last five years. Still the most handsome man I’ve
ever laid eyes on. His wild, short blond hair and deep blue eyes that tell me
he’s so much more than just a pretty face; his thoughts are always deep and
meaningful. His body is still fit and muscular. My head still only comes up to
his eye level.
Shouts distract me from my examination. I look around
and find my parents sprinting toward me. Across the airstrip not listening to
any of the men screaming behind them to stop. My mother drops her handbag,
items spilling from it; however, she doesn’t stop to pick it up.
Time slows for just a moment as I watch my parents. My
mother’s short brown hair whips in the air. Her eyes wide with tears falling. I
can see one of the teardrops hit her red shirt, and there it sits, a lone wet
tear, a teardrop for me.
My father’s cheeks are puffing in and out heavily. His
arms pumping hard, I watch as each vein pops up as he pulls and pushes his arms
backwards and forwards.
I tilt my head to the side. They’re running toward me,
to embrace me. To comfort me? How long will it take them to realize their Emily
is gone. How long until they realize I’m repulsive. And I will lose them, all
over again.
I’m scared of their touch. Light, loving, forgiving.
Oomph! They’ve crashed into me and time sets back
to present and harsh reality.
My dad picks me up, circles his arms around my body,
and cries into my neck. My mother hugs me from behind. I feel her tears soaking
through my shirt.
I’m scared. My chest feels heavy. My heart begins to
swell. It expands and the ice around my heart starts cracking, breaking off in
tiny pieces.
My mother’s sobs turn into screams at my back and
larger pieces of ice break off. I’m left with just a swollen heart, who just
let everything in. Pain, suffering, torment, relief, love. I can feel it all
and it’s too much. But I can’t turn it off.
My chest starts heaving, but my mouth refuses to open
and let out the cries that are now clawing at my lips to let them have a voice.
A voice… they’ve never had a voice. Someone who cared what they cried, someone
who would fix the hurt they were feeling.
It’s happening. My body melts into my father’s. My
eyes sting and blur. Slowly, I open my mouth and there they are. The cries.
They’ve gone ignored and unwanted for so long. They are mine. My cries of pain,
torment and my relief.
My father jolts at the agonizing sound that’s ripped
from my throat. My mother stands back and repeats my name on a whisper.
Hands wrap around me from behind and I know whose they
are. The one person who at this moment is going to send me over the edge. Kanye.
I fall into him, his warmth, and strong arms. We
collapse to the ground and he holds me to him. My head to his neck and his hand
under my knees.
Kanye repeats on a whisper while rocking us on the
ground, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
I continue to let my precious cries go, while the man
I love and the man I cried out for so often apologizes for the pain he didn’t
inflict. Pain I can see he has inflicted on himself.
I’m letting my pain go and sharing it with the world.
Now everyone around me knows just how much agony I’m in. And they’re listening;
they will try to help. They can’t. But at least someone cares. That’s all I
ever wanted.
