Description Their eyes are watching me, trying to catch me breaking.

They zone in on my weakest points-
My pulse
My lips
My fingers.

The pieces of me that could give it all away.

I can't believe how much they resemble vultures, eager to rip me to shreds.

When was the last time you saw him?

Now that wasn't an obvious question or anything.

My ears pick up on the deadness in his voice.

The answer is an easy one. Duh.
But why let them know?

Come now, Joanne. Don't just shrug. You have to want us to find him. What if he's hurt?

Ah, they're going for the guilt approach. Not very original.
Or effective.

This is a serious business. Do you understand what this could mean for his whole family?

They think his family actually cares?

My eyes snap in his direction, narrowing slightly.

Are they really that idiotic?

He told me himself about all the crap they put him through.
He wouldn't want me to make any of this easier on them.

Joanne, it would mean the world if you could help us, even the slightest bit.

Just because they're lazy. They don't think that he's worth working for.

I always thought he was worth it.

Do you have any idea where he could be?

Ideas? Nah. I was pretty darn sure of where he was. I had watched him go.

I turn to the window in the room.

He had left willingly.

Can you at least tell us when he'll be back?

He isn't coming back.

She won't be giving in anytime soon.

I wonder what they would think if they knew I could hear them.

If they knew everything I was holding back,
How hard this was for me.

I can feel my eyes glaze over.

They're finally leaving.

It took long enough.

One last smile in my direction.

Keep the mask a little longer.
She's not going yet.

Ha, she's intimidated by me.

My face is expressionless.

That's interesting.

If you happen to remember anything, please. Please let us know.

If she only knew-
There's no idea in her pretty little mind.

She has no clue.

I close my eyes at the sound of a bang, suddenly left alone.

I remember.

Wow, this is really amazing! I love that you bolded/italicized individual lines, I think that really adds to the mood of the piece. It's absolutely beautiful, though. Very nicely done!

Thank you I try to be expressive with my fonts, and sometimes it goes unnoticed. I'm glad you caught on though, and that it added to your reading

That's really neat! I love when people do things like that. Sometimes I think I read too far into it with some stories though.
