Chapter 7- All I Knew
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Once everyone had woken up on Sunday, we had picked up Ali and taken her bowling with us. After we had parted ways, most of us wanted to get a fairly early night because of school the next day.
Kye was quite quiet the next morning. He had driven up to the house in his car, ready to pick me up, however, had not gotten out of the car as usual. Instead, he sat, parked up outside and sent me a text.

Are You Happy? Chapter 8- Recovery
My eyes fluttered open and I took in my surroundings. I was home. You know when you have stared at one thing for so long that you just instantly know when you come across it again? It was like that. That one patch of off-tone white on my ceiling told me everything I needed to know. I sat up, my head groggy and clouded by a layer of dust and placed my head in my hands, sighing. After a few seconds, I noticed how strangely bright it is outside and reach over wearily to pick up my phone from where I'd previously spotted it on my bedside table. The screen blared and my eyes began to sting. I closed them and opened them again, hearing an unusual silence echo through the house.
Are You Happy? Chapter 9- Vulnerability
At the soft knock on the door, I heaved my weak limbs off my bed, my legs tingling as I placed them on the floor. I hadn't walked for at least a day and a half. As I walked, I started to get my pace back, the nerves in my brain once again strengthening their loose connections. The stairs creaked under my weight, the anticipation building with every step I took. Opening the door, I admired the face I'd longed to see for the past two days (Asleep or not). She was breathtaking. Her stunning auburn hair, curled loosely, hanging just above her shoulders and her forest green eyes mixed with a tinge of light blue, once again sent me to another realm. Then, I found my gaze lowering to her lips. I let every thought flood
Are You Happy? Chapter 10- Don't Cry
I watched her from across the table. I watched the tears form in her eyes. I watched the expression on my mom's face turn to worry. I couldn't do anything. I felt so helpless. All I wanted to do was hug Thalia and tell her everything would be okay. She recited story after story of her home life. Broken glass; shed tears. The days she was beaten, the days sat in fear that her dad wouldn't come home and the days she thought they wouldn't even be able to pay rent. When she finished her story, she broke into a fit of sobs. In response, I placed my hand on her shoulder and she leant into my touch.
Are You Happy? Chapter 11- You're Cute
I couldn't sleep. I could hear her breathing beside me; I could almost feel her touch on my skin. I was facing the wall, listening to every rise and fall of her stomach. Scrunching my eyes shut, I breathed deeply, trying to drown out the thoughts of her. After barely three minutes, I gave up, turning around to see where she was laying- facing me. She was so peaceful. She was so beautiful. I breathed out slowly.I watched as her chest heaved up and down, watched the slight flutter of her eyelids

Are You Happy? Chapter 14- Forever
There was a hole in my heart. The minute she'd walked away, a gaping hole began to grow and it hadn't stopped. Not even during the eight whole days, she'd ignored me. You'd think it were impossible to ignore someone you lived with but somehow she did. She slept on the floor- waking when I slept and sleeping when I woke. She left early and came home late. Even through the weekend, she'd been out. I had promised Ali I would spend the weekend with her and I had stayed true to that promise. Now, as the sun set on a full school week without seeing her face, I missed her touch, I missed her laughter.
Are You Happy? Chapter 15- She Doesn't Love You
Kye's POVI didn't mean to do it. I was drunk and mad and so deeply in love that it just overcame me. I watched Mel look at that girl in a way she'd never looked at me. I watched Thalia's hand snake around her waist and I couldn't hold it in. I didn't want to hurt her. Okay, maybe I did. I wanted to hurt her for being able to capture the heart of the girl I could never quite clasp. Even as I screamed at her, I could feel every ounce

Are You Happy? Chapter 33- Epilogue
The world is a winding puzzle full of different stories and experiences. Full of people fated to die young and others fated to change the world. But sometimes, a person stumbles into the wrong thing, a person, a thing, a small object with the ability to change worlds. And, on occasion, the roles are switched. Because nothing is fixed. The world can separate people. In the world, we are living in especially. There's so much noise, so many people begging to get their voice heard. So many screams. So many yells for freedom. And those yells echo across the universe; they bounce off every wall in the galaxy until things change and suddenly the yell is one of a different message.

"Mel, come on!" May called from my living room. I took once last look in the mirror, bottling my nerves and with one last deep breath, I felt my nerves pour out along with the warm air, preparing myself for what was supposed to be the best night of my life."I'm coming!" I yelled down hastily before grabbing my purse from my dresser and heading down the stairs. I stumbled slightly in the extremely tall heels I was wearing, clutching the handrail to stay stable. I heard a chuckle from the b

Mel's POVI walked home with a slight skip in my step, one fuelled by an evening of happy memories under the sunset. It was around half 5, so I knew that mom wasn't going to be too happy with me coming home so late but it seemed that the events of the day had just made the worry slide off of me like there was a waterproof coating around my happiness.

Are You Happy? Chapter 25- Sillhouette
Thalia's POVI pressed my head further into my hands, my breath picking up. Quicker and quicker, I felt the cold air rush through my lungs, begging to enter my blood. This can't be happening... But it was. It was all happening at once- the loud noises echoing in my head, the soft crack as my heart began to split in two. I was breaking, every bone in my body shaking with the relapse of emotion that had just been struck upon me. I felt it pushing against me, crushing me under its abnormal weight. I tried. I tried so hard to beat it. But, as the water fell in streams from my eyes I felt a soft release in my chest and my world came tumbling down.***They say that the night is when you feel the most. When there are no more distractions. No background noise, nothing to distract you from the thoughts lurking inside of your head, aching to claw their way out. It's the time you are alone, with no one to guide you through the darkness inside your own head. For me, it was never quiet, there was
