Saturnalia (Marilyn Manson short story) ✔

Chapter 7

Our relationship is very happy.
We love each other so much.
Until one fact.
The press has already found out.
And they hate me.
They hate a cripple, depending on her stupid wheelchair.
But then Brian would tell me : "Emily, you are stronger than anyone i've ever known. Fight, and don't bother with others. I will always be there for you. I love you."
And he would always give me a long kiss, loving hug, everytime i cry about it.

Also Brian is helping me with training walking.
Exactly. I wanna try it.
Because i wanna be a healthy girl.
Not for me. But for him.
Jeordie is happy for us, which makes me happy too.

My record are two steps.
It isn't anything big, but at least it's something.
And it's completely worth it, when i see those sparkles in Brian's eyes...
He'd always say : "My perfect girlfriend."

"Emily, baby?" Brian's voice brings me back to reality.
"Yes?" i turn my head to face him.
"I'm gonna get some chinese. Want something special or as always?" he asks me.
"As always." i chuckle and he nods.
As always.

I was invited to eat the young
I was invited to eat the young
By the roadside, all the bones they clean
Dump gas in our machine
I will still be here to hold you
No matter how cold you are
No matter how cold you are
