A Dream

I smiled when I saw Ben walking towards me,  as handsome as ever. The lights illuminating his sharp facial features in all their glory. "Come here" I pouted, opening my hands wide for him. He reached me and pulled me flush against his hard body. I closed my eyes taking in his masculine scent and feeling his warmt. But suddenly, I felt a liquid splash on my face and neck. Wondering what it was, I opened my eyes to see a headless Ben hugging me. I screamed and screamed and pushed him away and continued screaming. His body fell to the floor close to his pool while his head was already floating in the pool. I screamed again and again until I screamed out of my sleep. I jumped up on my bed, clutching my chest tightly. I looked around and realised I was in my room with Lily who was now awake due to my scream. "What's wrong Martha?" She asked worried and a little scared"I ha

"How was your.... " my mom's words hung in her mouth when she took in my rigid, almost lifeless form, plus the police man behind me."Dear lord! What happened to you sweetie?" She rushed up to me, touching my face frantically but I was too drenched to answer. I was still in shock."Ben is dead" my mom gasped as the police man said "it was a horrifying scene, we cant explain how and what happened yet but for now, take care of your daughter" he finished and left me with my mom after telling her that he would come back the next day for questioning."Oh sweetie" my mom hugged me tight against her body. Fresh tears rolled down my cheeks."Ben. Lights. Pool" was the only thing that came out of my mouth."Its okay sweetie" she rubbed her hand soothingly up and down my back."Why did you leave me Ben?" I cried furiously "I didn't" he replied wit

I wrapped my hands around the coffin that my mom was in, crying my eyes out. The tears that came from my eyes could fill up a drum. My mom was gone. The second person I loved in the world was gone. I know, I'm not supposed to love anyone more than my mom but then again, love was very tricky. I loved Ben so much. He was my first.And my mom, she was everything, she was not just a mother, she was also a father. My dad was just a waste of human being space in the family, all he did was get drunk and come home late. Ever since he got fired from his old job, he became miserable, he never even cared about finding another one. My mom became the breadwinner of the house, working every hour of every day in order for us to feed and go to school and have a good life.All these things ran through my mind while I cried on top of my mom's coffin. Now that she was gone, how would we live? How would we survive?"Martha, please stop, that'

Martha save me!  Martha help me!  Martha!  Lily's voice was all I could hear in my head.  I sat on my bed, my legs clutched up against my chest with my arms, my eyes felt so heavy. Still frozen, I stare into space but somehow I noticed that Kelly sat by me and Liam was pacing back and forth in my room.  I was a mess. I was totally disconnected with the world. There were no tears left to cry anymore. My whole body was vibrating. Lily is gone. I watched her die in front of me. She was gone. No Ben, no mom, no Lily. I just wanted to die

I sat patiently on the couch waiting for Liam to walk through the door, I needed to give him a piece of my mind. I tapped my foot on the floor impatiently,  staring at the clock every 30seconds. It was 8:00pm and he wasn't back yet,  maybe he was with her. Not that am against their relationship but they shouldn't  have kept it from me,  if I didn't see them am sure she would have never told me. Just as thoughts roamed around in my head, the door creaked open and liam walked through"speak of the devil" I said standing up "am sure she must have... " my words hung up in my mouth when Kelly walked through the same door standing beside liam. "Oh great! Why don't we all have a family meeting" I spat humorlessly while gesturing for them to sit. "Martha""Oh don't Martha me" I hush my brother "you went behind my back to date my friend""It wasn't.. ""You went behind my back to date my brother" I say to
