Alright, so I've taken a HUGE hiatus from this story (what's it been now, a year and a half?). But you know what? I've gained inspiration. This story has been sitting in my head for a while now. I'm hoping to make it as good as (if not better than) my first story. My writing style has changed, and the focus has shifted from a light-hearted, slightly problematic (I think) past to an angsty, dark, and completely, pardon my french, ******** future. Hope you guys enjoy (if you still care enough to read it!). biggrin

The drunken adults stumbled out of the bar, arms slung around each other haphazardly in an effort to remain standing, hands groping in inappropriate places that should’ve been well-guarded given that one was a widow – but only in the technical sense of the word – and the other was in a relationship – but only in the technical sense of the word. The two were giggling, like hormone-crazed children or sex-deprived psychotics. The two will regret this in the morning. Then again, maybe they won’t.
“Gerard,” the woman laughed as his chapped lips kissed her neck sloppily. There was no finesse in the movements, no grace. Just the need to feel contact, skin to skin. He kissed harder, needing to leave a bruise. He didn’t care she wasn’t his – she may as well have been, even if just for tonight. “Mmmm, Gerard, harder,” she said breathily, the noise coming out as a moan.
“Taylor,” he groaned, forcing her against a back alley wall and moving to her lips. It was clumsy – it wasn’t like how lovers described it. It lacked synchronicity, smoothness, emotion. It was the primitive necessity to feel something, even if that was just mindless sex.
“We shouldn’t be doing this,” she breathed against his lips. Her breath reeked of vodka, drank straight from the bottle. His was no better, it had the sweet stench of beer mixed with gin, and the more fancy drinks with names he couldn’t remember.
“I know,” he replied earnestly, but vehemently slid the coat she wore off her bare shoulders and threw it somewhere to his left. They’d pick it up; they always remembered to.
“You’re betraying your friend,” she said mechanically. They played this game every time – she attempted to be logical, he said he understood, and they continued anyway, guided by their lust. What they had wasn’t anymore than that – it wasn’t deep, it wasn’t meaningful, it wasn’t love.
“Shut up,” he growled viciously. This was a slight breach of etiquette; he never said that to her, never said anything different than what he usually said.
She shut up.
---
Leaving his apartment, torn lingerie in hand, she never felt dirty. Even as she snuck into the vacant townhouse, she never felt dirty. Removing what was left of her clothing, she never felt dirty.
But after taking a shower, she never felt clean.
She threw away another perfectly good trench coat, and climbed into the bed in the guest bedroom. She was aware Frankie didn’t know what went on in Gerard’s apartment in the late hours of night, and therefore the bed in the master bedroom was always open to her. But she never utilized that, never took advantage of his innocence.
She didn’t want to contaminate him with her feeling of never being clean.
She dreamed of gas masks worn by frizzy haired women and parades filled with confetti and dead people.

Haha, I hope to soon. I've kind of got a vision for the next chapter. The only issue is writing it.
Haha. Issue.

Hahaha, it's so nice to hear you say that but I know I'm not that great at this. I am hoping, though, to improve and THEN get published. It's a bit of a dream of mine. biggrin
And srsly? I don't know why ANY of us are here. We've got all our careers in the bag. We should start our own publishing house. =D
