Post by Salamai von Hellan ♥ on May 15, 2007 20:53:38 GMT -5
The sun had just fallen and the packed beach was now cleared out. The breeze of the ocean was a bit to chilly for most people. Salamai Von Hellan slowly walked through the white sand, being careful not to step on the small sand crabs that scattered across the beach. Her hair was much longer, makeup darker. She somehow looked older than only seventeen. Her left arm revealed large, noticeable scars. Her face held an emotionless vacancy that could not be explained by anyone. A loud ringing broke a silence, and she pulled a red chocolate cell phone out of the back pocket of her faded skinny jeans covered in rips in random places. Done intentionally of course. She read through a text message and smiled as she sent a reply. It was her friend back in the city asking if Salamai was OK and if she made it home.
Salamai had to sell her father's car so she could actually live under a roof. Her apartment was poor, but it was better than a cardboard box that laid in the middle of a concrete sidewalk. It almost made Salamai want to go back. She missed her friends, her apartment, her job she left. She was only a singer in the bar across the street, but it was all worth it. It seemed like things were falling into place, literally falling into place, for the first time ever in her life.
Salamai sat down on the sandy beach, laid the cell phone to her right and felt for the silver necklace that clung loosely to her pale neck. There it held Anthony Jameson's initials. She quietly wondered where he was at that moment. If he had a girlfriend... So many questions, so much time to collect the answers. She didn't know why she moved back. She just had the urge to.
If the people in this town knew what all she had done in those five months she was gone... None of them would believe it. They wouldn't believe that she was addicted to one night stands, addicted to drugs... She was a completely different person. She watched the water with her bloodshot eyes with that blank look back in her eyes.

Anthony’s past months had been like hell. He thought of Salamai every second and couldn’t sleep at night trying to think of what she could be doing at that moment. He hadn’t been able to smile a lot since that night at the mall. Seeing her drive away from him hurt him really bad. He hadn’t talk to Chase a lot anymore, he didn’t even knew if Chase knew about Salamai, but he didn’t tell him anything. He didn’t quite want to think too much about it because he knew he could not forget about it. He had her in his mind all the time wanting to drive away and look for her. He wished that she was ok, but couldn’t help to worry, he knew somehow how life at a big city was and it was hard even for people that have lived in big cities all their lives.
He hadn’t had a person to talk to and had nobody to party with. Except Helena but still he had nothing to do with her. Every time she was with him, he always thought of Salamai. He tried one night to go out with her and didn’t really work, so he just walked away and be a loner. Helena was sweet and cute, but she had nothing like Salamai and he only wanted Salamai. Helena kept trying and he just told her the truth but she just couldn’t get it and still was by his side. She tried to cheer him up, but nothing worked.
Anthony had been walking around town for a while. He had nothing to do as always only trying to figure out when would Salamai be back? But he waited and waited, stayed all night waiting on his bed looking through the window to see if she passed by, but she didn’t passed by. He didn’t like the beach at all, but town was getting kind of boring already. He walked by the beach looking at the people sitting on the sand or playing on the water. He walked with his hands on his pockets and kept looking at the sea.
He just going to leave and maybe go someplace else when he saw a really familiar face. A face that he had been waiting and wanting to see during the past 5 months. He smiled, smiled for the first time in weeks maybe months. He had a reason to smile now. He started walking faster and faster getting near that familiar face, he wanted to make sure that it was really her and that he wasn’t dreaming. It was Salamai! He walked in front of her and smiled “you are back” he said sitting in front of her just looking at her eyes, at her face. It was really amazing to be able to look at her again. He leaned over her and hugged really tight. He couldn’t even realize if he was hurting her or not he was just so glad that she was back.

Salamai heard a familair voice say "you are back" and she gasped. "Anthony? Oh my gosh.. It has been months."she said cheerfully and returned his hug. He was squeezing her pretty tightly which would explain why she couldn't really breathe. "How have you been?"she asked curiously. She pulled out of the hug when her cell phone went off again. She read through a text message from one of the guys she had slept with once or twice before. Nothing but a bunch of perverted ideas he had in store. She laughed slighty and showed the message to Anthony.
"Can you beleive it? I sleep with someone once and then they send me a bunch of perverted messages about what they are gonna do to me next.... Typical, huh?"she chuckled and stared at her glittery, scene decorated nails. They were no longer short and the polish was no longer chipped off. Her finger nail polish was smoothly painted on and her nails were just a bit long. She did not remember that Anthony didn't really know who she was anymore. The old Salamai was gone. Vanished.

Anthony looked at her as she pulled out of the hug. He had missed her lots and felt like hugging her all day long. He didn’t want her to go away one more time; he wouldn’t be able to stay in town this time. “I have been good I guess, nothing good has happened,” he said still looking at her. He was going to start asking her questions when he heard her cell phone. He looked at the message that she was showing him getting a little bit mad and jealous that a guy was messaging Salamai, his Salamai about things, but his anger kind of went off when he realized that she had never actually been his Salamai.
He tried to forget about the message and smiled again “well you surely have change, I mean physically” he said examining her a bit. He kind of like her knew look and all that stuff, but he just wished that she didn’t change in personality. Or at least that everything was going to be like before. “So how was it? You had lots of fun right?” he asked kind of realizing now that maybe everything wasn’t going to be like before after all.

"Pitiful isn't it? We even agreed that it was a one night stand... Men.. I guess that is what you get when you sleep with a guy like five years older than yourself....."she laughed, still not noticing she sounded like a little whore. She smiled at Anthony and ran her finger along his face, almost not touching it. "You look different somehow."she giggled and quickly moved away her hand. She simply deleted the message off of her phone.
"Things were different. Not exactly fun all the time. I did have fun a lot though. My job was amazing. I was the vocalist in a band that plays for the bar across the street..."she shrugged. She rummaged through the purse that had been slung on her shoulder to begin with and threw aside a bottle full of different types of pills. "Bad allergies."she shrugged and continued to search through the purse until she found a new carton of cigarettes. She shoved her pills into the purse and lit a cigarette. She only smoked half a pack a day. She slowed down.
"I slowed down on smoking. I am down to half a pack a day."she smiled proudly and laid back in the sand. She looked at the sky with little interest/

Anthony just tried to smile. It was being really hard for him to be listening about a guy that had been Salamai. “Yeah umm well I guess it is,” he said looking at his hands. He wanted to look at her, but he felt that if he looked at her while she talking about another guy he would either walk away from her or burst into tears, tears of anger and pain. “Um I feel the same,” he said looking back at her. “Well It must be better and be in a small town with a “country” boy right?” he asked her kind of knowing the answer, but wanting it to be different. He looked at the sand and then back at her “I went out with Helena sometime” he said trying to figure out why he was saying that to her “it was quite fun, she is really funny” he couldn’t really believe that he was saying this to her and most of it was a lie because he had gone out with Helena, but just once. He looked at her purse and at the pills, he didn’t quite believe that all of those pills were for allergies, but he didn’t pay much attention to that. He looked at the cigarettes “Yeah good. I am really proud of you,” he said smiling at her. At least she was a little bit healthier than before. “So have you talk with Chase?” he asked curiously.

Salamai did not answer Anthony's question. She tried to change the subject and sat up. Before she could Anthony mentioned going out with Helena. Salamai felt a little jealous, but she decided she would have to get over it. If there was one thing she learned, it was pointless to hold on to something that would end making her ache all inside. "Well it is nice to know someone can stand her.."Salamai said with a bit of ice in her voice.
"No I haven't talked to Chase... I don't know when I will..."she said with a slight smile tugging at her dark red painted lips. She didn't want to think about what would happen between them. She tossed the cigarette onto the the sand and looked over at Anthony. "Oh.. Um.. I have your necklace.."she said. Her cheeks reddened. It was just like yesterday he told her they would trade out when she came back. She never planned on returning.

Anthony looked at her. She indeed really had change. He missed somehow the old Salamai, but was glad at the same time that she changed. He heard her comment about Helena and laughed a little bit “Ha um yeah she is a bit annoying, but really nice. I haven’t seen her lately maybe she found someone else to bug or like.” He said looking at her face, her hair, her lips… it was kind of weird to be there next to her, it seemed to him that this time would never come.
“Well since you left I haven’t talk to him much.” he said as he heard her talk about the necklace that he gave her at the parking lot of the mall. He looked at it and smiled pulling out hers from his neck that was under his shirt. He always had it with him, but many people didn’t notice it because the t-shirt covered it up. He took it off and hand it to her taking his back. He wanted her to keep his, but didn’t know how to explain that to her. it was really hard, now that she came back and didn’t really know her as he used to know her, to find the right words.

Salamai simply nodded. Helena probably was annoying, but Salamai only experienced her being a bit of a bitch. Well Salamai was a bitch too, so they were both even on that one. She smiled a little and handed Anthony his necklace. She held the necklace with her initials in her hand, not ready to put it on just yet.
"So... Um... I missed Salem. Which is sort of weird since well I was so anxious to get out of here once before."Salamai chuckled and pushed away some of her black hair that had fallen over her eyes. She wanted to tell Anthony that she missed him too. That she missed him almost more than anything. She didn't know what to do, so she leaned over and kissed him slowly unaware of what to do exactly. Kissing him was how she was trying to tell him how much she missed him.

Anthony just smiled a bit; he knew that she didn’t quite like Helena and well Helena didn’t quite liked Salamai. He was kind of sad for Helena because even though he wanted to feel something for her friendship was the only thing he could give her at the moment. He looked at his necklace as she looked at hers; looking up to her he put his necklace on his pocket. He didn’t quite wanted to put it on and maybe later on he would give it back to her hoping that she might keep it was a good memory.
He laughed a bit as she said that she had missed Salem. “Um well I guess everybody misses home even though how much you wanted to get out of it,” he said smiling at her. He knew that he would miss Salem too if he went out of Salem some day, which he did hoped, but knew it wasn’t time to drive away from home, at least not yet. He was kind of surprised as she leaned and kissed him. He didn’t quite knew what to do, he did knew that he had been waiting that kiss long ago and was glad that he could have it. He just kissed her back, getting deep into the kiss. He had missed her kiss, her soft lips pressing over his. He had nothing better to say, so he just kept kissing her waiting for her to pull away from the kiss because he wasn’t going to stop kissing her.

Salamai continued kissing Antony. She wrapped her arms around his neck and grinned a little in the kiss. She swore to herself that when she came back she would not end up in a sticky situation again, but she was no longer silly, confused. She knew exactly what she was doing, what she wanted. She wanted Anthony. And she planned on taking up the chance this time. She wasn't going to end up crying herself to sleep night after night again.
Salamai could just imagine the look on Chase's face right at that moment. She never even told him goodbye. She began to feel bad, but pushed the feeling away. She pulled away from the kiss for a moment only to say "I really missed you too."

Anthony kissed her like if she was going to leave him again. He wasn’t sure if she was going to leave again and leave him behind, so he wanted to enjoy every moment, every second, every kiss he could have with her. As he felt her arms around his neck he started wrapping his around her waist. She had an amazing figure and he had always enjoyed looking at her. Just as she pulled away he smiled “I missed you like you have no idea” he said giving her a quick kiss. “I love you so much and I don’t want you to leave me anymore” he said hugging her and started kissing her. He wasn’t sure what to expect again from her he had said those three words and wasn’t sure if it had been good for him to have said them so quickly. But he didn’t cared that much now because he had her around his arms and wasn’t planning on letting her go that easy again.

Salamai simply nodded. She couldn't really speak. Her breath was pretty much taken away. It almost seemed that the only thing that her body would allow her to do was kiss Anthony. All of this seemed like a dream that she didn't want to wake up from. Her body felt numb from being so nervous. Her hands were shaking a little.
"I- I might not stay..."she whispered and began to kiss him again. She was already expecting Anthony to break the kiss to answer to that. Either the answer would be good or bad. But she did have a job and a home back in the city. She wanted to ask him to go with her if she left again, but she doubted that he would go for it. So she simply continued kissing him.

Anthony’s heart started beating faster and faster as he heard that she might not stay in Salem. He didn’t know what to do or think, he just kept kissing her. She had been the only good think that has ever happen to him in his life and she was walking away from him. he had never actually feel something likes this before not with such intensity. He really loved her, but couldn’t anything to stop her from being happy and becoming a better person. He would just hate himself if he make her loose a great opportunity that she might have back in the city. He had been thinking even before she came back if he was going to be able to go and look for her or maybe even go with her if she came back one day. It was a hard decision, but he didn’t quite believed that he could go away from home. But he loved her so much. “Please don’t leave me” he begged her looking into her eyes. He wanted to be with her and didn’t know if he was going to be able to look at her drive away from him again.

Salamai simply looked at Anthony with her arms still wrapped around his neck. She leaned in and laid her head against his shoulder. "I just don't know how to start back here. Where am I going to live? Where am I going to work? How can I face my dad? How can I face anyone?" she asked Anthony. Confusion crossed her face for the first time that day. She wanted nothing more than to be with Anthony, but how in the world could she start back here in Salem.
Salamai removed her arms from Anthony's neck and hugged him. She was hoping that Anthony would have the answer.
