Born and bred straight from Sunday school exploits; there's a history to Friday few know and even fewer understand. Where he's been is dust on the back of his hand and a steel blue gaze that brushes it away without ceremony.

That boy is sin wrapped up in a prayer, his smile says he'll save your soul but his eyes say he'll damn you in the same stroke.
He wears his vanity like a satan worshiper wears blood, in perfectly pressed collars and sharp, sharp colors. A crucifix swinging low from his neck that burns into even the most silver of tongues. Oh, if Eden ever had a snake, he's it. It's his hands forcing any devotee to their knees, his mouth next to their ear, telling them it's okay to take the lords name in vain.

He's a permanent fixture at a last supper that was never meant for the likes of him, a devil in an angel's skin, serenity and disruption in a single breath. There's innocence that can be found in the shape of tousled bedhead from one too many naps, across a pew, against an alter, floating on a sea of holy water. But it's gone the moment the sermons are over and the choir is silent. If you listen closely you can hear him whisper: "Even your God knows you're a whore."
A Bible that lies forgotten in a box, buried in a barren river, left uncovered by anyone with eyes. Faith blinded in the way he carries himself, a grace owned only by those brought up too rich to worry. A trick of the light dear, pay attention, because Friday Knapp was raised off hand-me-downs and games of scraping pennies from lower middle class floors.
He hails from a Widower with seven under him and a Veronica brought together by religion. A marriage doomed by a void, an inability to follow Genesis 9:7. Suppose medicine didnât understand the power of prayer. Miracle baby, gift from God, her Good Friday.
Oh, how she loved him. How his father couldn't care less. Caught somewhere between being another mouth to feed and absolute royalty. Her flesh and blood amongst the half breeds. The prettiest, the wittiest, the calmest. The only one she could drag to church. The only one who wanted to listen.
His past is chock full of ingredients for the making of a Molotov Cocktail: a volatile combination of a God Complex and a Pathological L i a r. The exterior doesn't match the mess within. Porcelain holding tar. Was it God they promised came with blonde hair and blue eyes, or Lucifer?
There's no information here, between then and now. Sorry, it must have gotten lost in translation. Didn't you know it was originally meant to be read in Hebrew? I suppose you'll have to choose your path. Jewish, Baptist, Catholic...
Friday found his. A savior by the likes of the Virgin Mary, pure in both her ideals and her soul. Untarnished, something perfect, something made in God's very image. Something he can't decide if he wants to preserve or destroy.
Someone should have warned her. His obsession only lasts as long as her devotion places him above her own oath. How long can she hold his weight?
