Hearts Lie and So Have You

Looking around the room it was hard to see through the smoke that filled the room so strongly the bitter sweet scent stinging my nose as I felt myself grow dizzy just being in the room for a few minutes. "You wanted something?" I asked staring at my father standing tall although I was getting sidetracked since the colors were starting to blend together, I hated getting the secondhand highs but I loved my parents I could deal with it.

"You need to go and meet Marky on the corner me and your mother have somethings to discuss." He said with a raspy breath standing up at a six foot eight which made him tower over my five foot nothing frame.

I nodded walking out of the house feeling light and letting out a short laugh as I saw my best friend waiting for me like he always did when my mom called him up since he was never allowed in my house although I spent tons of time over his having buckets of fun. And don't go on with those nasty thoughts perverts! we're [i]just]/i] friends we play video games and all that stuff nonstop though.

"Harley!" He called running over to me as we gave each other a hug we had known each other forever. "Whats new?" He asked letting go of me and wrapping an arm around my shoulder as we walked back the way I had come from.

"Eh not much. Just kinda going nuts." I told him with a shrug but a gunshot made me jump and it sounded like it had come from my house. "Marky..." I said my eyes wide as my throat constricted in fright as I stared at the house.

"Harley hold on just stay calm." He told me pulling out his cellphone I could hardly hear his voice as everything seemed to waver in front of me as I sat down slowly onto the sidewalk. I felt arms slipping around me starting to rock me back and forth gently. "Police are coming... Harley please just don't worry it'll be fine." He tried whispering assurances in my ear.

It was over. As soon as the police came they pulled out my mother looking like she was crazy blood spatter all over her clothes as my dad they pulled him out on a stretcher sheet pulled over his face I felt my whole body freeze all emotion leaving me. There was nothing.

I felt someone pulling Marky away from me as my eyes widened in shock, "Marky!" I screamed as someone tried telling me to calm down someone else was holding him back. "Marky don't let them do this to us don't tear us apart Marky!" I cried out as I struggled to get out of the persons arms and Marky was having just as much luck as me.

"Harely I promise I'll find you! They can't keep us separated!" He called back at me tears streaming down his face.

"PROMISE ME!" I screamed as they pushed me into a car.

"I promise!" He called.

It's a funny thing really because it's been about a month and I'm about to be placed in a foster home far from here... and I haven't heard a thing from him and now the only thing I have left from him is a simple small silver ring on my smallest finger on my right hand.
