maika & the word like

few times is maika ever nervous .  she's confident , it shows .   horrid posture is never in the equation and nor is a trembling lip.  cracked and crying nails can never been seen.  usually .

a motor is maika. she's quick, fast, speedy. in everything she does. not negatively of course. her thoughts run wild in her mind and the engine within her mouth is always turned on. the engine is not lubed however, it's not always fine tuned.

a wild brain is too fast for a quick mouth. thus the word like has become something she's been branded with. valley girl? no.  a motor mouth? yes. 

yet there are times, when the world is against her. when her mind is slowed down, pacing. worried. nervous. the likes don't move traffic .  they only wait for traffic. the tumbleweeds waving as they pass by. the thoughts resembling a droughted desert. 

often times people will say the purpose of like is to give the mouth waiting time as the gears in the brain churn. 

for her when the gears shriek and rut, like disappears. poofing from thin air into an abbess. 

how do you tell when a certain criss is nervous?   when the like runs to the hills .

criss effect

victor criss was never afraid to drop an f bomb or two in reference to his sister . quite frankly , the entire criss family wasn't afraid to swaddle maika in swear words, instead of a warm blanket. all were violently spoken, all spears simply chucked at her.

the annunciation of the lord's name hollered at the top of lungs in the direction of maika. a biological term for a female canine being used as a household favorite description.

open the box of maika's mind and shrieks of darkness will swarm you. one of the greatest being her mother's older male company, who weren't all hesitant to comment on her 'dolly parton figure'. and each of their words followed a swear.

the day her calves received the treatment of victor criss controlled barbie dolls, she was met with more swears. all landing around her. all swarming her. 

suit after, she realized the words had to be the reason why everything failed her. why no one cared. no one comforted, or even swaddled.

maika criss knew no enemy, except for spoken words.

drabble one

the garage door

i like to see you

but then again

that doesn't mean you mean that much to me

a party girl title doesn't fit her. with connotations revolving around recklessness, she simply doesn't fit the profile. articulate but emotionally ,  intelligent but mathematically , appreciative yet outgoing. you could find her center stage however a stage is a carpeted floor. twirling in a cutting world , smiling in a rave full of wannabes. need-to-bes. 

a party girl who collapses over for a boy who's lips never stop slapping when his peach fuzz mustache is brought into a conversation. two years her senior always sounded exciting in a saturn mind. except what do you do when your body suffers consequences of a chase ?  of running through a doggy door yet unable to escape due to simple measurements. never love something too much, it'll one day scribble over your story.

a party girl whose body indents hospital sheets. where armies of garage doors infiltrate the eutopia of ignorance. of doubt. reassuring lies run away crying when the truth sits on their stoop. perfume lingers on his body, the same one who guided her into the hospital bed, with a single push of a button. the scent isn't the one that sits on her shelf , either .

a party girl who doesn't turn a cheek, her mind just conjures up a good excuse. he can have friends. maybe it's his moms. the truth treads in the back of her mind , she knows it's the truth, thus why she hasn't let it drown

a party girl who still spends time in tangled sheets and rolled carpets with the main cause. until she gains the remembrance of other people who wave in her life.

a party girl who deep down somewhere beneath the surface of her personality iceberg, only wished her brother cared more. maybe even hoped he would have scribbled his name down on the visitor sheet. 

a party girl who thought this would be the worst pain someone could endure. broken bones everywhere. however, whoever in that somewhere that writes her story only sketched down an introduction. because mental pain is worth a thousand broken bones.

IT STARTED with the yelling.

it continued with every wager in his voice. every fluctuation in his tone. yet once his fingers curled in tyranny in casted the paper of her hopes apart— he had been done for.

from an outside point of view with all the inward knowledge one might think the exorcism would be the breaker of the two. however it wasn't. a stresser? yes. but not large enough a rift to have maika — criss — bates do what she would.

with no power to file for a divorce, maika resorted to old fables and magazines. ones that were crinkled in classrooms and spit on to teach about proper morals. right and wrong.

in there maika found her holy grail. the idea that gleamed in a golden hue begging for her to consider it. and, she did more than consider.

the fifth commandment never chimed as holy in her mind as it did now.

thirty dollars eased in her bank account and in her possession was now insulin.  following this possession was a blurred memory.

it happened at dinner.  norville running his mouth wherever it desired and not paying any mind to it. casting words down upon to his wife regarding sanity and holiness, both of which he doubted she had until the 'fortunate' exorcism.

it took a second or so before his mouth slowed down. the motors reeling shakily with croaks here and there. the best part occurred over night.

maika turned over on the serendipitous sheets to a flatline.

following suit was an anonymous call to the local sheriff that in the middle of nowhere rumors bedazzled the tale of a body being underground. the sheriff for once listened and pulled out the rusted shovel.

however was the news that a rumor is just a rumor returned, maika set the plan further into motion. a girl with a petite frame dragging a heavy set man was no exception of a suspicious sight. thus she dealt with her work at night.

norville is currently tucked away in a nice, shallow grave.

in the middle of nowhere.

this time when maika's fingers touched the phone the sheriff would not be speaking to a stranger. it would be maika bates speaking hysterically with tears flooding in reckless waterfalls down her cheeks.

upon her notice of norville's death the secrets of an affair with another woman arose. maika was not aware of this. but her heart felt nothing, not even a little pang.

all her life she had been dubbed as dumb, worthless and idiotic. a blonde baffoon who couldn't even get into cosmetology school even if she tried. and with all the tyrannous words maika soaked up came a shocking silver lining.

the town believed her to be too dumb, too idiotic to be capable of murder. so her name never was chalked onto the suspect list.

boy did she run after hearing her name with the word clearance. she ran to maine, in her car of course, but ran. dashing on the backroads to reach the closest place to what she called home.

only once in the following years would she visit the late victor criss' grave. and that was when she arrived. a grave without a body but nonetheless a grave. her woes and confessions were whispered to a careless brother.. who probably even now turned his cheek when she spoke. though murderous now, she was just as naïve as ever.

never again did she visit victor criss. and never did she get the family nor the nuclear comfort of america that she so did desire. never thrived inside of a norman rockwell painting. perhaps she lived in beautiful sorrow within the sun flows of van gogh.

she resides now, alone, with three dogs and three cats with a capybara, making her money by illustrating linguistically the strange occurrences of that 'party clown'

but for certain once the modern age swooped her away, she did all she could to hide the scars victor left on her calves from the day he decided barbie's could be blades.

let the record show and the lord know,

maika criss is not dumb.

[spitonderry]

MAIKA'S parents didn't gift her a pony, or a sweet purple birthday cake for her 18th birthday. instead they gifted her a husband.

NORVILLE BATES never really knew maika. he heard about her from her parents,  and proposed to her after the third date. unfortunately for him, maika never returned his feelings.

always naïve , maika married out of threats from her family. which, she didn't even realize were threats due to the lack of intelligence she possessed . told she would be written out, removed, she did as she was told.  already losing her brother,  she couldn't lose her parents either,  and certainly not due to one of her mistakes . 

besides, a man twenty eight years her senior couldn't be all that bad, could it?

THE WEDDING wasn't her dream wedding. rather the wedding you see broke highschool heartbreaks thrive in. where her dress was cheap and the flowers fake. where the scabs from the late victor criss were present on her calfs , at least he was there in spirit.

following the wedding, the one sided couple packed up and soon resided in the lonesome town of newton, connecticut. far from derry, maine,  far from her home.

norville didn't pay much attention to her, occasionally glanced at her. gave her the routine forehead peck every night before bed without sending the personal i love you afterwards. only because he didn't posses the i love you, not for her.  maybe the 'i lust after you' would've worked better.. was something deep down he actually possessed.

for such a HORRIFIC man deep down inside, he threw her into the church's ways. in such a small town, people believed in the church more than they believed in each other.

norville wasn't afraid to tell her at night, whisper in her ear, that hell called her name if every sunday she didn't squeeze into her best outfit and walked below him into the church.

and after each MASS,  norville would lead her into gift shops, each sunday around her wrist would be the knot from a string that held onto a red balloon.

maika was donned as the sweet young woman, the woman in the purple house. seven o clock was the time she would embrace the rickety rocking chair glued onto her front porch.

PARADISE was never a concept in a marriage such as this one,  but one might say paradise came to a halt.

maybe she wanted to kiss some men,  wanted to sneak into motels late at night , wanted to feel something .. she never would.  perhaps a few lips here and there— but never more.

though she never had an actual affair, maika's mind wandered and her thoughts verged on adulterous. she dreamed of past lovers, new ones she hoped would sweep her away from this hell hole. however, the hole would soon swallow her whole when one night norville would catch the name of another man as she was sleeping.

but he never took into account how she was only dreaming of finding her brother, victor, alive.

following such sinful acts, norville confiding in the local priest, who threw maika into waves of mental and verbal abuse. she was told she would burn in hell, if this were twenty years prior they would have her on a stake, such awful things.  and when she cried about victor just as norville was coming home, an EXORCISM against maika's will took place. screaming, swears, crying , everything maika despised, was in front of her. violently carving into her as she weeped for 1989 to come back.

fuck a C L O W N . this was worse.

one of the neighborhood kids claimed they saw her giggling, excitement filling her pores and happiness causing her to beam one faithful day. where norville was away on a business trip supposedly. another kid claimed they saw her rock on the rocking chair that slept on her porch, waiting for her husband's early arrival.

always an optimist,  every sun meets its rain. every beautiful rose gets clipped. every perfect moment thaws.

and norville, was forcing a THAW..  forcing a thaw into the devilish driven marriage he threw onto a doe girl— woman.

no one is sure how she DIED, how the nice young woman across the street fell dead. the neighborhood kids believed the older husband did it, the older neighborhood kids churned a theory of the local priest killing her for her sins of adultery and 'disobeying' the bible . the older side of town just believed god had enough with her, and let her see what hell truly looked like.

she never got to the life filled age of twenty.

the truth is still uncertain, of why maika bertha criss bates fell to the wooden floor, dead and littered with scabs.

the only thing certain is that 333 primose st, newton is considered haunted by the town. the house kids like to go exploring in when halloween stalks and knocks on their doors.

─◌♡̶ ⋆｡˚ ⍈ FATHER ;  maroon criss , alive .

INTERACTIONS? maika and her father don't speak very often . however he spoils her rotten but only because of him wanting her to look the best ,  his want for her to marry some classy man .   specifically his best friend . maika never found her father interesting and often felt uncomfortable with how he treated her.. leading to her becoming very distant near him .

INTERACTIONS? the relationship maika has with her mother is built upon fear . maika has witnessed how marianne treats victor and it often frightens her. marianne favors maika too, but to a point where maika wants to run away. she's often told by her mother that she's useless, stupid. but her mother says this is good, considering it makes her more appealing to , men. upon her mother's wishes, after she turns 18 she would end up getting engaged (forcefully) to her father's friend. her mother sees maika as an asset purely, a way to acquire better relations with other families. 

─◌♡̶ ⋆｡˚ ⍈ BROTHER ; victor criss , deceased INTERACTIONS? without a doubt , victor criss despises his sister . maika always tried to be there for him, always wanted him to just love her. victor rarely showed love for her, but nonetheless he was somewhat protective when it came to guys. after finding out about her brother's death, maika would spiral into a deep depression , never really recovering afterwards. all she wanted from her brother was love. because that's who should've been there for her.

─◌♡̶ ⋆｡˚ ⍈ HUSBAND ; norville bates , alive. INTERACTIONS? an older man than maika by many many years, the two barely showed affection. hidden perversion and lusting along with parental arrangements is what made this marriage occur. norville showed maika little affection unless it boosted his social standing or made him feel good. there was no love for her, only lust and greed. for their marriage she was a lay and a more importantly an asset. he didn't even want a family. somehow, maika passed away, and the man many blame for this tragedy is the one and only norville bates.

➛『 DEEP DIVE  𓂄

─◌⋆｡˚ ⍈ PERSONALITY ; maika is extremely dumb, extremely. mainly because her parents never told her to worry about education since she'd just marry some rich man. but she's also extremely kind, sweet and always means well. very against cursing, maika prefers to use extremely tacky slang and code words for curse words— she literally believes curse words curse you. if you're ever lonely she's the person who's gonna try and give you company, if you're at a party and are drunk she's the one who's going to drive you home.
