The love that stole my insanity

“I’m sorry Mike I don’t love you anymore.”

Did I do something wrong? Was I too relax with my freedom? Those are the questions I asked my self as begain to realiz. She dumped me...

Breathing became difficult as my brain grasped for strains of reality hopelessly putting them together. My now ex girlfriend was the most perfect person. After her choice to leave me I began to numbly walk through life. Work then home, That’s all I could do to keep from going to her. Days passed of starting idle at the television set. Chewing my thumb nails down to the numb, rocking my recliner.

Nothing was working anymore, I grabbed my car keys and drove to her work. I knew she would be there I just didn‘t know how I was going to present myself.

She walked away from me before I could respond. Should I ask for closer? Or maybe ask for the things I lent her? As I pulled into the parking lot of the dinner she worked at I figured it out. I’ll ask for my house key back!

A smile crept on my face as I scanned the parking lot. Until my eyes glanced over her. With her was a silhouette I recognized but couldn’t quite put my finger on.

It had only been two weeks right? There’s no way Daisy could have moved on...Right? I rolled my windows down to listen to the conversation cutting my engine at the same. “Jacob I need to get back to work! Waite for my at home and we will discuss this.” “Daisy! I forgave you and said nothing to Mike. MY TWIN! when you cheated on him with me. Do you think I’m as stupid as him?” “Jacob! STOP! I’m at work right now! Go. Home.”

Chills rolled down my body like a cooler of cold water poured over me. My twin! In the back of my head I heard a soft crack. Followed by the crumbling of glass. Small voices crept in my head making it hard to reason with my conscious. “She cheated with your twin someone who’s supposed to have you back no matter what!” “Aren‘t you going to do anything?” “Where’s you’re balls at man?”

Jacob day on the hood of his car determine to Waite. While Daisy went back to Waite tables. What could she possibly want from my bum of a brother. He dropped out of Harvard to be in a band! Destroying the family name, we were supposed to be the first set of twin lawyers in our family.

My body slid out of the car without any indication from my brain. This no good slacker! I walked up to Jacob with my fist balled in my pockets. “Hey man?” I said smiling “Mike? Did you see what happened earlier?” He said with a cocky tone and solemn face. “ ya man, don’t worry about it. But um..” I scratched my head like I had something nerve racking to say. “ You two haven’t had sex have you?” He looked at me confused “I know we’re close but we’ve never been-“ “Trust me I have no ill intention just...”

I wasn‘t going to let him off I played the full show. “I just came back from the doctor and well...have you too?” I looked with an inquiry look. His eyes nearly popped out of his head.

I listed a brow “Jacob?” “What wh- wh- what exactly was th- th- the doctor’s for?” “Aids” I spat out without a thought in my mind. His mood shifted multiple times as if he was changing avatars in a game. Through gritted teeth he said “Are you sure” “As pos as my test came back. I came to let her know, She was the only women I had been with my entire relationship. I guess she was cheating on the both of us” I heard him mumble as his fingers raked through his hair roughly.

Hey this is what they get but I still don’t feel any better. “Jacob would you like me to go with you right now to get checked?” “ would you?” I smiled a cocky one. “Come on know we've always been close.

I took the drivers seat as I allowed him to freak out. This was good cause my fingernails had been digging into my skin. If I hadn’t drove I would have left marks on the insides of my hands.

Jacob kept rambling next to me as I drove aimlessly. I couldn’t quite figure out what to do with him. That’s when I saw the power plant. I Quickly switched lanes and then ran the passager side of the car into the fence. Causing the air bags to deploy on his side. Quickly I laid my seat back before mine did and waited for it to happen.

After my air bags deployed I checked for his pulse. Unconscious that’s when the plan began to formulate. I switched cloths with Jacob then drove back to the dinner, and found Daisy standing out.

I smiled I felt the baptism of revenge and I loved it. I grabbed her by the waist and pulled her in. “What’s wring?” I looked at her confused. “Jacob?” “Ya babe?” She smiled “I love it when you get rough!” she sighed “The powers out!”

I looked around taking notice I guess I did do that when I crashed into the area to change cloths. I picked her up and sat her on the hood of the car. Spreading her legs so that my hips could slid between. I felt the thrill of this kick into her as her nails dug into my shoulders.

Giggles slipped from her lips as she told me to stop. I leaned into her ear “let’s take it to the back seat?” Luckily I had crashed my car not his and grabbed some supplies on the way back. As I tossed her into the back of the car I reached my hand Into the back from the passenger seat.

“Daisy tell me. What is it you love about me?” I said in an eerie voice I could see her eyes tracing the smile that crept on my face. “Jac-“ I slapped the tape on her face as she fought against me. She clawed me struggled even, but nothing helped her. I eventually zip tied her hands together. Along with her feet I grabbed a crow bar and struck her across the head.

Swinging the door open I drug her out the car letting her fall for satisfaction. I slung her over my shoulder and put her in the passenger seat of my car. I grabbed a random brick and tapped it to my brothers right foot. Then drove them to a cliff. They were bound to wake up both tied and gaged I would just Waite for them to start shifting in a panic to get loose. I sat there swallowing large bottles of vodka.

Somewhere around sunset they both woke up. But I didn’t say anything I just sat there and enjoyed the blurry sun rise. When it rose a little more I looked at the faces of the two people who distorted my life. “Why did you do it to me?” I asked them, mumbling followed my question but it wasn’t good enough. I stripped the tapes from both Thee mouths and let them talk. “Mike” Jacobs words trembled just as much as his cowardice personality.

I finished off the vodka and turned to Daisy. “If I gave you the chance to save your life right know what would you be willing to do?” I looked at her tears streaming down her face. “Anything!” She whimpered I turned to him “same question, What would you be willing to do?” “Anything you want!” Good! I smiled threw the car in reverse and headed to a place I had built a while back. No one knew about it but me.

I could hear them shifting around trying to find a way out. “Stop trying to save yourself! Or I promise you will die trying.” I said pulling on to a dirt road the winds in the roads lasted for a bit before I had to break through the thick of some trees. I got out the car and walked over to their side. I opened the doors and pulled them out after cutting their feet loose.

I pushed them into and through the house out into an empty pool. I cut their hands loose and pushed them in. It was about 8 ft. i walked into the house and grabbed three dessert eagle and tossed two down there. Each one of them grabbed the gun and pointed at me. “Not so smart of a choice” I said smiling they looked confused. “Only I know the way out. So if you wanna leave...Somebody got to go.” a laughter slipped out of me.

It was too funny as I watched their face slip. Tears even streamed down Daisy‘s face as she looked for Jacob. “J” I could hear her desperate expressions as they both switched to target each other. “Daisy“ I could see the wheels turning in his head.

I looked down at them ”who’s it gunna be?” “Why!?” I could hear Daisy scream only to hear the pop of a gun set off the alarming screams From her. Her body laid there bleeding out. “Jacob?! Why?”

I could see his stone cold face the entire time. “If you could cheat on him with me, What’s to stop you from doing the same to me? You belong to the streets to me!“

I reached my arm out to pull him up out of the pool. I slipped my arm around his shoulder and led him close and at gun point. Just as his arm did the same to me. We both stood at the edge of the pool with a gun pressed to the back of our chin. “You didn’t think I could trust you after this did you?” Jacob said to me “I never expected you too!” I said

Jacob looked at me through a side ways glance I did the same to him. “Are you trying to make it home or not?” I said reminding him “Are you trying to let me live?” He reminded me

I slowly pulled the gun back and started walking for the patio door. When I heard a shot fire and a pier pain strike my heart. Looking down at my chest blood began to pool. I turned around to look and I cloud see Daisy struggling to hold onto the side of the pool.

Before I fell as one last fuck you I pulled the trigger. As the sound in my ears began to drain like a tub filled with water. I saw the bullet land right between her eyes. Then my gun misfired and with my last bit of strength I looked for Jacob to see it had hit it. Right in the neck my eyes began to flood with blackness. And my body began to go cold I was No longer able to move anything. As I saw my pathetic life flash before my eyes. Like a movie with out sound and a story with no plot.
