The Mortician's Daughter

Gunning Down Romance

Annabel

After school, I head home to an empty house. My father was working late and my mother had gone back to Missouri to help my grandmother after her heart surgery. That means I’ll be home by myself for the majority of the night; which was fine with me.

I run into the house and straight for my bedroom. I quickly change into my Batman pajamas before throwing on my Misfits hoodie and grabbing my black acoustic guitar and the tablet I’ve been writing song lyrics in since I was 13. Once everything was in my possession, I head back outside to sit on my front porch to enjoy the cool October weather and work on this song.

Andy

After school, I head home; worrying about Annabel. Something was clearly wrong with her and it all has to do with me kissing Scout. Honestly the kiss was a mistake and I know that. I just got caught up in the moment; Scout was my first serious relationship and I thought I loved her. Hell, I got her name tattooed onto me; I thought I was seriously in love. I sigh to myself before getting out of the car. I need to clear my mind and a walk seems to be the only logically thing to do.

I continue to walk pass the park and straight towards Annabel’s house. I stop dead in my tracks as I hear a guitar playing, accompanying an angelic voice. I peak around the bushes to see Annabel sitting on her front porch, playing a guitar. Just as I get closer, I can hear her belting out part of the song.

“I'm gunning down romance
It never did a thing for me
But heartache and misery
Ain't nothing but a tragedy

Love don't leave me

Take these broken wings
I'm going to take these broken wings
And learn to fly
And learn to fly away
And learn to fly away

I'm gunning down romance”


Once the song was over with, a smile appears on her lips as she puts her guitar down before she brings her knees up to her chest. She wraps her arms around them and begins to gaze out. I sigh to myself before leaving my hiding spot and making my precence known. Her head snaps up as I clear my throat. Her face goes pale. She’s probably how long I’ve been standing there and if I heard whatever song she was singing. “Hey Andy.” She says in a soft, shaky voice. “What brings you here?”

“I needed to clear my head, so I decided to go for a walk.” I reply as I walk up onto her porch. “I didn’t know you can sing, or play the guitar; you’re amazing.” Her cheeks flush as she quickly turns her head; a smiling creeping onto her lips. “Was that song written about any certain person?”

“Maybe.” She replies. “I started writing it the other day and just finished it last night; but it’s not like the guy it’s really about even cares. He’s apparently got a very beautiful girl on his arm.” I just sigh before walking over, kneeling down before her.

“Maybe he does really care and he now knows he screwed up royally with you.” I mutter before walking away…
