The Secrets Hidden In The Scars: Chapter 20

Hey, everybody! Chapter 20 has been added to my book "The Secrets Hidden In The Scars". The first part is here, the second part is here.

So, time goes fast, and I didn't even notice how I finished working on the second ten that seemed to me much better than the first one. We're getting closer and closer to the middle of the book! Yes, yes, it will happen! I promise this book won't be too long! I will complete it someday. But I have to spend much more time on one chapter, as they are now much longer. Meanwhile, working on the book is getting more interested because many events are happening. Yeah, I warmed up by the middle and began to write something good (no, I didn't) and interesting! I can't do this without screw-ups, but I'm doing my best to give you the stuff that would hardly be included in the list of the worst works ever. However, this is for you to judge, dear readers...

Anyway, I would be madly happy if you liked this book, added it to your library and told me what you think of the storyline and the characters' actions. I hope you would't lose your interest for my book and would read it until the very end. My English is not perfect, but I'm doing my best to make my texts more or less readable.

To get a mood for reading, play the song Aly & AJ — Something More, the lyrics of which were used for the orginal title of the character.

Here's a little snippet from one of the parts featuring one of the characters, who is going to show you how to get lost after screwing it up:

"Listen, dude, did ya decide to drink because of a girl?" Christopher wonders. "Are you grieving because a cutie rejected you?"

"Oh, yeah, I got rejected! You can't even imagine how much I got humiliated... Nobody loves me at all... You see..." Edward starts showing something with his hands slowly and hesitantly. "But I do wanna hug a girl and put my head on her big breasts... M-m-m... Well, or least to be held by Mother in her arms... Like in childhood... You suck a pacifier and don't care about problems... The important thing is that Mother is near, loves you, and feeds you in time. But now nobody will caress me like this... I'm alone in this cruel world..."

"You say it as if you've lived with tortures and sufferings and seen very much."

"I have lived with tortures and never been truly loved," Edward replies in a low, slow voice, moving his dead eyes to Christopher and starting to try to embrace him tightly. "I do say, nobody loves me at all... Everybody thinks I'm a scumbag, though I'm actually very sweet and fluffy. Nobody wanna get it, brother, you know... No-bo-dy!"

"Okay, everything is clear about you," Christopher exhales slowly, pushes Edward off himself, and puts his glass on the bar table. "You thought meeting me was a cool reason to drink and complain about your life."

"If you lived my life, you'd also be whining from how terrible it is," Edward takes a little sip of whiskey and exhales sharply, feeling this drink burns up his throat and spreads a nice warmth all over his body. "My life is disgusting, and nobody loves me. My girlfriend betrayed me and had me wrapped around a finger... My father never loved me and found a reason to insult and humiliate me... My brothers always mocked me and never thought of befriending me... And my mother never thought of me for a few years we spent apart."

"Buddy, what kind of shit are you saying? You said you lived all your life with your mother and met your father very late! And there was no talk about your brothers!"

"Huh? Really?" Edward rounds his eyes and shows his wide stupid smile, clapping Christopher on the shoulder. "Well... Yes! That's correct! I met Father very late 'cause Mother banned me from seeing him... And brothers... The brothers are just idiots... Idiots that shouldn't have been born..."

Have a good day!
Love, Estrella Rose.
