Entry 29. June 13, 2009.
[x] Take this time to become more intimate with Melanie.
"You're so persistent. And to think I had actually driven Melanie out of my life. Now all I can do is think about her. I guess that's not such a bad thing... She's beautiful. Why had I grown so cold towards her anyway? Hell if I can remember... Why does she look so sad tonight? I need to cheer her up..."
All alone once again, Felix and Melanie lock eyes and realize how much of a mess their lives have become in just a few days. Felix sits beside Melanie on the couch, as the two young adults think about how their lives could come crashing down any day now. The madness is in a way...exhilarating. He places his hand on her thigh. "It sure has been...crazy these past few days, huh..." Felix says, as he looks into her eyes. "Madness..." Melanie says, as she gently kisses him.
The fickle fingers of fate draw their scissors... Life is a fragile thing. The cords, in their grasp, could be severed at any moment...
Melanie pushes Felix down onto the couch. She gets on top of him and they embrace in a passionate kiss. "I never stopped loving you, Felix..." she says as she stares into his eyes. Her eyes, wet with sorrow and happiness, intrigue him. "You're so beautiful, Melanie... The most beautiful I've ever seen..." he says as he pulls in her closer. The two embrace once more. Their bodies warm; their hearts race. "Don't ever leave me again... Please don't leave me all alone..." her confused tears fall. "Never again..." he promises her, as he holds her tightly.
Bang. Bang.
Melanie and Felix fade away, enveloped by weariness, bodies locked, into their dreams. Both feel that nothing can ever again separate them. A life together, intertwined with happiness and regret, consummated by their promises in a time of foreboding...
Bang. Bang.
Clinton finally comes out of the bathroom at 8 PM. He sees Felix and Melanie sleeping, arms around one another, on the couch. His fatherly instincts almost kick in and tear them apart; however, he pauses...blinks away a tear and smiles.
The crows gather in a frenzy as the day comes to a close.
June 14, 2009.
The rising sun shining through the windows awakes Felix far earlier than he is used to. He feels Melanie resting on top of him. He runs his hand through her soft, gorgeous hair. Melanie stirs from her sleep. "Hmmm... Felix..." she leans in and kisses him as she wakes up. "Melanie, lets get out of here," he tells her. "Okay Felix..." her trust now resolute. "Your father wants us away from this. We can figure it out. We will figure it out," he says, determined. It's 6 AM. Patrick, Tom and Clinton are still sound asleep. As Melanie uses the bathroom, Felix looks around the house and finds Patrick's car keys on the counter, as well as three bicycles in a storage room.
[] Steal Patrick's car to get away.
[] Make your getaway on the bicycles.
[] Leave on foot.
[] Chicken out and stay here.
What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?
