A Couple: A Fictional Narrative

“ I-I-I am so sorry, I also have family issues.” She said with a sad look on her face “My father was in charge of Auschwitz and he let my little brother Bruno die in a concentration camp…” she was cut off by the noise of dogs barking .

"Yes it is Sherlock. If you would have explained to me that the extremely hot bowl was in the refrigerator, I would have kept my oven mitts on."

“I think it’s time I got you back to bed, I shall have a maid fetch you whatever books you want.”

"That's what I've been trying to tell you," she replies, jumping up to check the window. Seeing nothing had changed, she sits back

“Mama!”. She nestled into her mother’s arms. “Why would they do this to me? How could they?”

“And what is a young lady like you doing messing around with older men? But I believe that’s beside the point” Ms. Ojo smirked as Mayella’s face began to turn a crimson red.

A forced smile came across Jake’s lips as he replied, “Yeah, I got lost after paying that traffic ticket and ended up here. I hope I didn’t startle the lady too bad. I was just trying to find the bathroom.”

“Thanks, Eugene. And the coffee is good by the way.” After he had filled up his plate, he took a seat at the table. “Has there been any movement over there at Ford's at all?”

“I’m sorry, but your parents are dead,” she replied. “The system overheated and the engine blew up. The fire started in the front of the car, and your parents couldn’t do anything about it. You were lucky that somebody called the fire department in time to get there, before you got burned down to your bone.”

“Hah,yeah. God knows how much effort did I put into the case to get you out of the jury. They could have given you a death penalty, if they wish.”

"I have something I think you're really going to like." Grabbing her hand he leads her to the back door.

Amy didn’t want to do this and break up their relationship. “What do you want to say?” Jeremy asked, still waiting for her to speak. She looked at his face, and to the ground again. “We have to break up.” She said with a trembling voice. Jeremy’s smile disappeared as his face turned serious. “Why? Did I do something wrong?” he asked, trying to remember if he said or did something wrong. Amy shook her head and sighed. “No, it’s not you. It’s me.” She responded, making it evident that she wasn’t thrilled saying

“Yes, would you like something to drink?” He called the waiter and he ordered a coffee while I asked for a tea. “Well, I know that I might sound like a girl and you might not be okay with what I’m going to tell you.” Harry said. Whoa, is it that bad? “I like your sister, well, more than like.” He confessed. I raised an eyebrow and I felt my blood boiling.

I’ve not been outside in 5 months… and 20 days, or at least I think so. It’s not really possible to tell in here since There’s not really any way to tell what day it is. It doesn’t matter anyway, if I think it’s bedtime then it’s bedtime. Breakfast, Lunch, and dinner. It’s all up to me. Huh, Miss Maudie’s house, it’s on fire. I-it’s burning! The kids are out there. I could- I could help them. They’re cold so uh I could give Scout this blanket as an act of kindness. No what am I saying of course I can’t. I’d look like a monster to them, I would just scare them even more than already are. I can’t risk that, besides Nathan wouldn’t let me. Who cares, in the end I’d be doing a good deed.
