Dark Truth Read online

  “I don’t know, mabe because I’m tired and I want to go to sleep. Thats what people do when their tired!” I said answering his annoying questions in the same tone that he used with me.

  I did need the sleep so I could get up and have a early start of my day considering that I have alot to get done to be able to leave the next day. But I was hoping that I would see or have any sign of Mike, or my fantacy of him anyway. Wichever he really is now. I still can’t put my finger on that one,(figuritively speaking of course.).

  “Yeah, sure Raven. You just want to go think about your little imaginary vampire boyfriend. Even if you were able to meet him, I’m sure that he would have nothing to do with you. He is a big star and you are nothing to him. So just get over it!”

  “Whatever.” That’s the only thing that I could think of to say to him. Mike has to like me when I meet him or I’ll die.

  “You know what Rave? I think I’m gonna go out tonight. Sometimes you really make me sick, especially now. I will not be stuck here subjected to watch you, and your sick, rediculous fantacy’s.” He said in a manner that was much more than fury. Then he paused to take a deep breath and continued. “You really need to grow up and come back to the real world! “His tone changed to smug and sarcastic as the next words came out of his mouth. “You know what? Call my cell when that really happens, when you come back to reality and your sanity. Until then I’ll be staying with a friend.”

  “Lavon your just picking another fight with me so that you can go see your other girlfriend. Go leave, I’d rather be here by myself any way.”

  “Whatever you say Rave. I’ll see you later, or mabe not. Depending on you.”

  “Well I guess I won’t be calling you anytime soon then.” I spat the words at him. “I feel drawn to Mike. Even if it does sound crazy and I won’t ever stop fantasizing about him, cause unlike you it makes me happy.”

  “You seriously have issue’s Rave. Your crazy, mentally insain. I’m outta here!”

  “Well by then. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!” He left then.

  And as I watched him walk out of the door. I started to question my own sanity. Am I really crazy or has Mike really been comming to see me..

  I really wish that I knew what was going on here . Is this real or just a well thought out fantacy or a perfect dream? Am I going to throw this part of my life away for something that will never be real, for me to be with someone that I will never seriously have the chance of being with. Even if this life I have now isn’t so great it is still a life. Well I guess I will just have to chance it when I make this trip to New York. To see the wonderful Mike Wolfe, and to see if he would ever dream of wanting or having somone as me.

  As soon as I walked into my bedroom, Mike appeared in through my window.

  “Mike. your here!” I said with so much excitement and love in my tone of voice. “Please tell me am I crazy or are you really here? I’m staring to think that I’m going insain.”

  He smiled at me taking away my breath with his gorgeous self. “Raven. I am really here in a way.” He seen my confused expression. “Something I’ll have to explain to you later, but at the same time you are fantasizing.” My expression was seriously confused now. That makes no since to me what he is saying right now. He smiled again. “My dear Raven it is to complicated to explain to you right now, but in time I will explain everything to you. When you are ready.”

  “Mike is their anyway for you to proove it to me, please? Something that mabe you can show me and tell me so that I know I’m not loosing my mind, my sanity.”

  “I can do that soon, in time. Please just be patient with me. I promise that all of this will be worth it.” He gave me his word and sounded very sincere about it. “Now Please won’t you come over here to me?”He reached out both of his hands to me and smiled so perfect.

  I walked over to where he was. He took my hand in his and pulled me closer to him. He caressed my face gently with his other hand and I started to shiver from his touch. He leaned in, to softly whisper in my ear.

  He said. “Raven I know how you want me. I can see it, I can feel it comming from you. I want you even more. Just knowing how you feel about me, truely I’ve never met anyone that has wanted me for my self. They always want the character that I play in the movies. But..... with you it is different. I really care for you Raven. You do not deserve the life that you have right now. You deserve me, somone to love you and care for you and you be the center of my life. You don’t need to be hit on and controlled. That is not what love is. Raven I can love you if you accept me, when you know the truth.”

  “Your right Mike. I do want you. I want to know the real you. I don’t care about your character you betray in the movies.” I whispered back to him. “But will it really be so? Will you actually, truely ever be with me in that way in true life instead of only my fantacy’s?”

  He sighed, but put both of his hands on my face. “At this direct moment, we can’t. But I promise that after you truely get to know who I really am and fully understand, we will definately be together in anyway that is possible for us.” He truley sounded sincere when he told me this. In a way his face was saddened but beautiful and full of love. “But until then my dearest Raven I hope that you can settle for this.”

  He gazed into my eyes with a secret of burning desire that for some reason he was trying to hide from me, but I could see through the mask that was there. He gently pressed his fingers to my lips, tracing their shape. After a moment he moved his fingers from my lips and held my face with one of his hands, then kissed me so slowly, so passionately. The way his lips melted against mine and moved in the most wonderful way, their is no words to describe how magically it felt to me.

  He started making his way down to my neck, then he paused for just a moment, so that he could lift me in his arms and carry me to the bed, so that he could lay me back gently. He moved his lips back to mine.

  I seriously hope that this is for real and not one of my realistic fantacy’s or one of my too realistic dreams.

  He whispered in my ear. “I really do care about you Raven. I’ll always be with you, even if it is me watching you from a far. Until the day comes for me to tell you everything about me, and hope that you understand, cause I honestly want to be with you.”

  He then laid beside me and held me tightly so that he could ensure me , that he was always going to be around and so I would really believe that he cared for me.

  It felt great feeling his arms around me so tight but delicately at the same time. Their is no way that I could believe that what he was telling me was a lie. No reason to dought his words at all.

  Before I knew it, I was sleeping soundly curled up and in his arms, pressed up against his muscular chest, smiling and dreaming about when the day will come to where I could be with him in everyway imaginable. It was a very realistic dream.

  It was me and him laying on a gigantic bed. It was covered with a silver and white comforter, with red rose petals that looked to have been thrown all over the big beautiful bed. We laid there as he caressed my body, so gentle and so softly. With a smile in his eyes that let me know that he truely could love someone as normal as me. As I expressed my love for him in evey way that I knew how, plus a little extra! It was beautiful, magical this dream that I am in. I don’t want to leave this dream right now.

  When I did finally wake up from the most best dream I have had of Mike yet, I could feel my smile leaving and replacing it was, I’m sure the most horrified, most tortured look imaginable.

  “I knew it.” I told myself outloud almost in tears. “I should have known that he would not be here when I awoke this morning.” The tears started to stream down my face as the sobs grew in my chest. I must have let my fantacy’s run wild again, letting them take over me.

  I finally dragged myself out of the bed and down the stairs to get me something to
eat for breakfast. After I ate I realized that I really was going to New York to meet my Mike. This one thing was true. I leave tomorrow morning. I will catch my flight and be with him soon.

  I still had a little hope left that just mabe I could still have a chance to be with him, even if the chance might be small. But that was enough to brighten my day right their, And enough to knock the breath out of me at the same time with excitement. I practically ran back upstairs to throw on some clothes, then to go ahead and pack my things for my trip tomorrow. I really am going to pack my black dress to wear to dinner with Mike.

  While I was packing, I decided that I would go to Lila’s house when I am done here. So. When I was finally done with everything that I needed to have ready and everything that I needed to do, I headed out the door to go see my lovely cousin.

  We are like sisters, we were practically raised together so she definately had to hear my good news. I believe that she will be excited for me, but she will also tell me to be cautious. She knows how I feel about Mike and she wouldn’t want me to get hurt in the process of me getting my hopes up.

  Finally I arrived at her house. The drive seemed a little longer than usual. Mabe because I haven’t been comming to her house as much as I used to.

  I got out and went and knocked on her door. “Who is it?” She asked.

  “It’s Raven who else girl?” I said playfully to my cousin with the excellent mood that I was in.

  “Oh, hey come on in.” She said opening the door for me.

  “So how have you been Lila?” I asked. I could tell that she could see the excitement on my face and in my voice.

  “Pretty good actually, which you would know if you came down more.” She teased. Then she paused to look at me strange and asked. “So whats up with the high spirits? Did you finally get up the nerve to leave that pathetic, abusive excuse for a man Lavon?”

  “Something like that.” I said smiling. “I have the most wonderful news to tell you. You will be in shock, mabe even jealous.” I had a smug look on my face, but I couln’t help it.

  “Well what is it? Spill it out!” She said with as much enthusiasm as I was feeling, which was alot.

  “Okay. I entered a contest about two weeks or more ago.....”

  She interrupted me with her own excitement”What contest?”

  “Hold on let me finish. Please.” I said

  “Oh, sorry. Go ahead then. I won’t interrupt.”

  “Thank you.” I told her. “Now like I was saying. I got my mail yesterday, and I won the contest that I entered. I get to meet Mike Wolfe and the rest of the cast! I leave tomorrow. I get to have dinner alone with Mike, then afterwards we will go to a party with the rest of the cast and just hang out. I get to stay their in New York and hang out with them for a whole week!” I squealed. “Wouldn’t it be great if he asked me to dinner at his place where I actually would get to be alone with him!” I said smiling to my self in deep thought.

  “Raven shut up! Are you serious? Wait, this isn’t one of your fantacy’s is it.” She asked suspiciously.

  “Of course not! I’m not that far gone Lila.” I said rolling my eyes at her.

  “I don’t know Raven, sometimes you worry me.”

  “Whatever!” I said getting a little irritated with my favorite cousin. “But anyways. I was on a website about Dark Love. I seen that their was a contest. Whoever was able to draw the best portrait of Mike Wolfe and the main characters from the movie, would win the free week with them, and the dinner with Mike. I sent my portrait and the entry fee into the address that was given on the site. I actually won!” I squealed with excitement again.

  “I really am in shock.” She stated. “Well, congradulations, girl! You deserve this. But tell me this. Does Lavon know about this little ronde vue?”

  “Of course not! He would take my tickets. Besides he left the house last night and said that, he was not going to come back until I forget about Mike Wolfe, and stop my fantacy’s about being with him. But of course that will never happen! Especially now, that I get to meet him.”

  “Well you know how I feel about Lavon, because of the way he treats you, but still,I would at least call him and tell him that your leaving. Don’t you think? That way it will keep alot of trouble down to a minimum.”

  “Sure. I’m going to call him, but only after I’m at the airport getting ready to board my plane. I’ll tell him that I’m going out of town and that I will be gone for around a week. I’m not going to tell him where I am going. I don’t feel like it is any of his buisness.”

  “Yeah I guess you have a point their.” She told me.

  “Of course I do!” I said a little smug. “But anyway I just wanted to stop by and tell you the good news.”

  “I’m glad you told me. I just can’t get over the fact that you get to have a private dinner with the hot Mike Wolfe and then you get to hang out with the rest of the cast. Mabe your luck is changing for the better.”

  “I seriously hope so. If it’s not I’m afraid that I won’t be able to get away from Lavon. Everyday just gets worse with him, with his temper and controlling and all of that.”

  “Thats true Raven.....” She hesitated. “Just don’t get your hopes up. I don’t want you to think that this will mean that he will be with you. I don’t want to see you get hurt.”

  “Don’t worry so much Lila, I’m sure I’ll be fine! But I need to get back home. I want to clean the house up a bit then fix something to eat so I can get in bed early. Don’t want to miss my flight you know.”

  “Okay. And hey, good luck with your date with Mike. Mabe things will look your way on this one.”

  “Who knows, but I’ll catch you later girl. I’ll call you when I get back, and even if I don’t come back. So keep your phone line clear.”

  “Oh, I will.” She said if she expected it to be bad. “I’ll see you later Raven.”

  “See ya Lila.” I said as I walked out the door.

  When I got home, I cleaned up the house and washed some clothes that were in the laundry basket. Then it was time to sit down to eat. It took a while to clean so I’m really hungry.

  I ate then got ready for bed. I walked into my room and climed into bed. I laid their in the bed for what seemed like forever before I fell asleep. I thought about what tomorrow was gonna be like, what Mike and the cast were gonna be like.

  My alarm clock sounded.

  “What!” The alarm woke me up quickly. It was very loud, it kinda startled me. But I got up and stretched. I pulled myself out of the bed then went to shower and get dressed in some nice clothes that I picked out lastnight. I fixed my hair parting half to one side and letting it hang strait down my back. Then it was time to leave.

  At the airport. I called Lavon to let him know that I was leaving and would not be back for a while. He was furious, but in truth I don’t care, I don’t want him anymore. I can’t take his abuse anymore. After we argued for five minutes I hung up on him, then boarded my plane.

  I had to rush to make it to my plane because of Lavon, but I made it.

  After about ten minutes of being in the air, I started to relax a bit. I was finally on my way to meet the man of my dreams.

  A stewartist was walking by, I stopped her to ask for a pillow and something to drink.

  “What would you like to drink?” She asked.

  “Could you get me a Dr. Pepper please.”

  “Sure. I’ll be right back.” She said very politely.

  “Thank you.” I said smiling.

  A few minutes later she returned with both my soda and my pillow and I thanked her once more. I opened my soda and took a big drink before sitting it down on the little tray in front of me. I fluffed my pillow and laid my seat back slightly and just relaxed myself further.

  I took in a deep breath and sighed as I thought about
today, with Mike and about leaving Lavon behind, in Maine. No one yelling at me, threating me or hitting me.

  I could feel the stress just lifting off of me. I felt like a brand new person, someone who could possibly be happy after every bad thing that has happened to her. Mabe Lila would be right and my life would be taking a turn for the better. Mabe Mike will possibly like me enough to want me. Mabe my fantacy’s were actually real. It seems imposible, but just mabe it could really be true and we could be together like he said in my room when I supposedly fell asleep in his arms.

  Fantacy or not, I’ll do me best to be myself and just hope that it is enough. I’ll show him the kind of person that I am. Caring, loving and acceptionately sweet the kind of person who will like him for who he really is and not his character that he plays in the DARK LOVE movies.

  I don’t want to get my hopes up too much, but I still hope that I have some kind of chance to have my dreams to finally come true. To be with someone that I actually have feelings for, even if , I don’t know him and have never met him. Their is still something in his eyes that make me melt everytime that I see him on the covers of the magazines or on the t.v., when I watch the movies that he stars in.

  It feels like to me that he is the person that I am supposed to be with, like we were made for each other. Mabe these are the feelings that I have been having lately. Meaning exactly like I thought. I am supposed to be where ever he is and that we are really supposed to be together, like fate is the one that is bringing us together.

  Chapter Four

  In New York City

  My thoughts were interrupted when the pilot announced on the intercom that we were about to land. Once we landed and I got off of the plane, I stretched my legs and arms. It wasn’t a long flight but I was still stiff.

  I looked around the airport, to find the driver who was holding a sign with my name on it. It took five minutes of searching, but I finally spotted my driver and I walked over to where he was.
