The Noose, Chapter Four: The New Found Interests of Erik and Samson
This is the most BORING chapter I have ever written, when I wrote it I had only just discovered Nirvana so I was a bit obsessed, I can rewrite it if enough ppl vote on the poll for me to. XOXO Lah!
Chapter Four: The New Found Interests of Erik and Samson
We stayed up most of the night talking, I probably told him everything I ever remember, he told me about all of his life with his dad, and the REAL reason he was sent here, the reason his dad now hates him.
The fact that Samson would not follow out the family name, the fact that he too was gay. He explained how he told Kiara that when she had walked in on Samson and I kissing and she had freaked out but he told her that he was gay and she freaked out even more.
We both fell asleep at about 3am. I didn’t sleep very heavily because I kept waking up to check which situation was a dream and which was a reality. When Samson woke up at 11.30 I was already awake and showered, he rubbed his eyes with his fists and smiled at me, the kind of loving smile that warms your insides, like the first sip of a hot chocolate when it’s that perfect temperature, the warmth that radiates your whole body.
Nervously I looked at him and spotted his stereo "Oh my gawd, Samson, you have an amazing stereo, what music do you like?" he looked nervous, like he didn’t want to tell me.
He opened his huge cupboard, revealing about 10 posters of Kurt Cobain, the singer and lead guitarist for the band Nirvana.
"You like Nirvana?" I exclaimed, his eyes dropped to the floor.
"Yes, I like nirvana" I got so excited, I couldn’t keep my cool.
"Samson, I love nirvana, I swear if Kurt Cobain were still alive I’d marry him, he’s AMAZING. I don't think he was murdered, one day I'm going to prove it, then they will know that Kurt wouldn't do that, he loved Francis Bean, his daughter. He on many occasions called her the love of his life so why would he leave her?" I had never said anything like that to anyone. A small tear rolled down my cheek and Samson leaned forward to wipe the tear away but more came, millions of tears, tears because Kurt Cobain was the most loving father in the world and Francis would have had the best Daddy in the world but she didn't get a chance to know her daddy before he died.
Samson hugged me to his warm chest so I could hear his soft, even heartbeat. He whispered into my ear "What's your favorite song by nirvana?"
There were so many that I liked "Um probably, um, Heart Shaped Box, written in 1992 and produced in 1993, it was originally called ‘heart......."
He interrupted me "Heart Shaped Coffin".
He gently moved away from me and stepped over to the stereo, he flicked through all the CD cases and picked up the "In Utero" case, he opened the case and carefully placed the disk on the tray of the stereo then he pressed play, skipped to track 3 and sat on the beanbag near me. As the lyrics kicked in "She eyes me......" he took a breath and sang, his voice was amazing, he could easily win any singing competition, and he was spectacular.
He sang through the whole CD and his voice was perfect throughout the whole album, I had never expected that but it was great.
There was a tapping on the door and Samson shouted "Who and what?"
Kiara’s petite voice called "Samson, though I am disappointed in what happened, we are brother and sister so can I come in and talk?"
"Sure, why not, come in sis"
She opens the door and looks directly at me and I knew then that she didn't want me there.
She lunged at me "you caused all this and you stayed here, with HIM, I hate you Erik"
I wondered, what would happen? What was Samson going to say?
I did all I had done for my whole life, I ran away from my problems.
I ran for the life of me, I knew what I wanted to do, was it worth it?
