Because I was bringing him back to life. I didn’t even unscrew the vent. I just grabbed and pulled. I heard the screws scatter across the floor. “Up. Now!” He nodded and began to climb into the shaft. I crawled in after and shouted out his turns. He did as I said. He reached the vent cover. “Go inside.” His torso went first and I heard his body smack the ground. I heard Sherman shout but I got through before any action happened. “Charlie! What’s going on?” Sherman had on medical covering from hair to foot. His …show more content…

You’re going to be a dad soon. And they need you to embrace them. To love them. To protect them.” Freddie started crying. His teeth grinded together and he began rocking. Spilling out more number sequences. The pathways were opening. His memories were flooding in. “You didn’t suffer alone. Evie was there. She made sure Ella survived and your children were safe.” It took all I had to keep my emotions directed at him and not on Evelyn. “And your rebirth will not be alone.” His eyes shot to me for the first time since I beat him. He sought forgiveness. Reassurance. And I would give it to him in this moment. Whether it was truth or not. “I’m here. Ella needs you right now. Look at her. She is right there. All you need is to choose. Leader Adams or Freddie?” He whispered it out and I exhaled. Freddie. He was here now. Leader Adams didn’t exist anymore and this Freddie seemed sane. All I had to do was show him his souls. In the end, Ella saved him. His babies gave him the strength. Hopefully, I would get the chance to do the same. “I’m so sorry, Charlie,” Freddie cried out. “I tried to stop my impulse to arrest her. I screamed it. He was just stronger than

    He demonstrates his aunt’s willingness to help writing: “‘I know that things are bad between you and your mom right now, and I just want you to know that I am on your side.’” Her generosity made a great impression on Andrews. He extends this thought further when he writes “‘And in the meantime, if you ever need to get away, my house is always open to you. And to Darian, too.’” The trust his aunt placed in him influenced him hugely in his life. He continues to impress this point recording: “I was grateful but shocked. She and Mom were really close, and for Susan to go behind Mom’s back like that was huge.” He used emotional change in order to exhibit how moved he was by the support he received from his family members even if it was only one ally who was on his side from the start. This abundant amount of assistance from his aunt causes the audience to empathize by relating personal experiences from their own families to the

    I placed the knife on the table and turned around, pinning my gaze inside the plastic wrapped room that I had carefully prepared. An agonized face glared back at me, blue eyes burned beneath the black eyebrows. “What the hell is this?” I carelessly studied the forehead which tightened and twitched with tension and my gaze wandered off to his left cheek. “This... is the moment of truth.” I replied to his cry with ease. He was breathing heavily. Oh, this felt so good. It has been a very long time since I let my dark passenger come out to play. Thirty-eight days, sixteen hours, and twelve minutes to be precise, Trinity has kept me occupied long enough. Then I sliced his left cheek to take my blood slide.

There was sadness clear as day in his eyes, but no, he did not deserve to be sad. He did not have any reason. He didn’t love her. He couldn’t provide for her. Not like I could- or would.

  • Personal Narrative: My Secret Place

    1183 Words  | 3 Pages

    Once upon a time, I saw the world like I thought everyone should see it, the way I thought the world should be. I saw a place where there were endless trials, where you could try again and again, to do the things that you really meant to do. But it was Jeffy that changed all of that for me. If you break a pencil in half, no matter how much tape you try to put on it, it'll never be the same pencil again. Second chances were always second chances. No matter what you did the next time, the first time would always be there, and you could never erase that. There were so many pencils that I never meant to break, so many things I wish I had never said, wish I had never done. Most of them were small, little things, things that you could try to glue back together, and that would be good enough. Some of them were different though, when you broke the pencil, the lead inside it fell out, and broke too, so that no matter which way you tried to arrange it, they would never fit together and become whole again. Jeff would have thought so too. For he was the one that made me see what the world really was. He made the world into a fairy tale, but only where your happy endings were what you had to make, what you had to become to write the words, happily ever after. But ever since I was three, I remember wishing I knew what the real story was.
