WestFiction- "Supreme" by Vicky

Mark walked alone around the town, it was a cool morning of December, he looked around him and everything around him seemed so...out of reach for him, he looked at the couples walking hand in hand, giggling, kissing and he felt jealous, why he couldn’t find anything like that? Why he was all alone? Millions of questions were running inside of him, but there wasn’t an answer for him.

He felt a cold breeze caressing his face and for the first time it bugged him, he wanted to feel a pair of loving arms around him, he needed to feel a tender kiss every time he came back from work, he wanted to be alive again, but how could he find that special person in a world made of lies? He needed to know it

Yeah are you questioning your size?

Is there a tumour in your humour,

Are there bags under your eyes?

Do you leave dents where you sit,

Are you getting on a bit?

Will you survive

You must survive

He walked into the huge house he was sharing with his mates, slowly he took off his coat and made his way to the kitchen “Hey mate” Kian walked in smiling widely “hey” Mark said shortly “how’s it going?” Kian sat in front of him “Good...” Mark took a beer from the freezer and sighed “Hey we’re going out tonight, are you coming?” Mark shook his head “no, I wanna stay at home” Kian was surprised, Mark never missed a party “Are you sure? We are all going” “yeah...why? as if you would remember I’m there...” he snapped Kian sighed and walked out “Im in my room” he yelled before leave. Mark felt bad, he never was like that, but there was something inside...something that was hurting him deeply.

That night, he took a long warm shower, while he sang a sad song, he looked at the guy standing in front of him, he was a bit more fat, there were black circles under his eyes, his eyes were lifeless, his skin was pale...he was like dead...his soul was empty, his heart was cold as ice...he was living but his life had no meaning at all, not even his job made him happy anymore...

When there's no love in town

This new century keeps bringing you down

All the places you have been

Trying to find a love supreme

A love supreme

Mark searched for a friend, but they were all out in dates, parties, girl’s houses...tired and bored he sat in front of the computer and logged into the net, and got into a chat room, he looked for a girl to talk with, but everything there was fake...just a lot of silly girls...he logged off quickly and went for a walk. Outside the same scene of the morning was in front of him, happy couples, old married couples...Mark sighed deeply and walked towards the pub.

His eyes searched for a place to sit, when they stopped in an empty space, he walked slowly looking around, he didn’t saw the girl in front of him and she didn’t looked at the guy in front of her, they bumped “Oops sorry” she said smiling “its ok” he looked down at her, she was shorter than him, she had long dark hair and big blue eyes, they stayed looking into each other eyes “hm...I’ve...I’ve got to go bye!” she said walking away. Mark sighed, love wasn’t on his side. Never.

Oh what are you really looking for?

Another partner in your life to

abuse and to adore?

Is it lovey dovey stuff,

Do you need a bit of rough?

Get on your knees

The days passed, but nothing changed, he was still feeling lonely and empty. He looked at the girl sleeping next to him, she was one more, she didn’t have anything special, and for sure, he was just one more on her list, nothing else...Mark woke up searching for his clothes, after get dressed he got out of the house. He walked around for hours, thinking about this last months, about the lonely nights...did all this pain really worth it?...after a long sigh Mark wished it would worth...

Yeah turn down the love songs that you hear

'Cause you can't avoid the sentiment

That echoes in your ear

Saying love will stop the pain

Saying love will kill the fear

Do you believe

You must believe

Again, at home, Mark looked at his friends and their girlfriends, it was so cute watch them so happy, so many happy faces, so many happy people, it was making him sick.

In his room, Mariah Carey’s music slowly was filling the room, and Mark’s ears. He smiled softly looking at the pics of his ex-girlfriend, a sudden tear softly made its way down marks face, to end in the picture he was holding...he looked at the phone...an idea came up...what if she was lonely too? What if she loved him still?...Mark tried to fight the feeling, but it was a good idea. He picked up the phone and dialed a number. A male voice answered “Hello?” Mark thought for a minute about ask for her or hung up...he hung down.

Again the loneliness filled the room. Once again he was losing his faith.

Mark picked up the phone “Hello?” he answered lazy “erm...hi, may I talk with Mark?” a female voice asked “this is Mark” he answered softly “hm hey! I’m Nat...remember me?” Mark’s eyes stared to shine again “Yeah, hi” he said softly “Listen...I’m sorry, I should have never cheat on you Mark...I never thought I would miss you so much...do you think we could meet up again and have a talk about it? Mark smiled for a while before answer...Maybe he wasn’t so unlucky after all

Come and live a love supreme

Don't let it get you down

Everybody lives for love

Come and live a love supreme

Don't let it get you down

Everybody lives for love
