2024-10-29 19:42:56I've totally given up, I'm now convinced that he won't show up.
Why did I have to have him as a partner? Couldn't it be someone, who would be available at this time?
Looking around me, I notice that a majority of people have received their ribbons and that only a few, still have nothing in hand. Even Sam, who's partner surprisingly is a friend of Hailey's, has got a ribbon.
I was surely surprised when he rose to his feet when he was called, and she was by his side. I was curious as to why he didn't tell me. Did he think I wouldn't be interested or what?
I would ask him once we were alone.
Speaking of Sam, he glances at me once again to check, and like the other times, I shake my head no. Opening my mouth to say something to him, his eyes move behind me where they widen a fraction, before a smirk comes onto his face.
He looks back at me and gestures for me to

I might have only sat once on a bike but I've never travelled on it. I've had to hold on to Roman and try keep calm as we both travelled to where we needed to be.I wasn't thrilled about my plans being interrupted, but I knew what I needed to do and the faster time went, the sooner I could return to Danny and we could enjoy our first night away.I still couldn't believe that Roman showed up like that, as if he knew the perfect time to interrupt us. He is so demanding it annoys the heck out of me.If this partnership were to even work, I had to put my foot down and not let him put me in a corner and leave me with no choice, like he did back at the Academy. The thing with Roman is that he's always been demanding, growing up. Thinking back now, I used to tolerate it but not anymore, we are grown now.We finally arrive at our destination and before I can have a look, we are let through a gate and led to a s

"I asked you for a simple thing, but you couldn't do it, could you Roman?!" I whisper yell, dragging out a half asleep Roman by arm, out of Rosy's room."It's not my fault you resisted when I tried waking you up." He shrugs, rubbing at his eyes."Don't you dare lie, you didn't do such a thing. You just had to keep me here a little longer." I point at his chest."And why would I do that, it's not like I enjoy your company so much that I'd want you to stay any longer." He throws at me.Ouch.I have to take a few seconds to recover from what he's just said. I don't know why that kinda stung."Well if you wanted me nowhere near you so much, why did you even go further with this partnership?" I ask." I couldn't stand to know you'd be some idiot's partner, who knows what they could have been thinking around you or worse, done." He says in disgust.

The tension is so thick that you could probably cut it with a knife. We've all remained in the same position for a minute or so now and all I want to do is disappear from here.I've long fixed myself now, not liking the secret emotion that passed in his eyes when he had a good look at me. " I asked you a question, what the fu-" "Have some respect and wear a damn shirt, there's a lady present." Roman bites out.My cheeks and neck warm up after Roman says this.An inaudible gasp escapes my lips when I'm pulled flush against Danny's chest."Oh you mean this lady?" He says, his breath warming my ear. "You seem to forget that she's my girlfriend. My girl." He puts emphasises on the last word, burying his head in the crook of my neck.Instead of feeling the familiar good feeling whenever I'm in Danny's arms, my body instead, grows tense and uneasy as Roman'

I've buried myself in bed for the rest of the day, nursing my guilt and trying to get over the look of disappointment that Roman threw my way. If someone were to get a look at me, they'd think I'm going through a breakup. I've been feeling really bad ever since the morning and I haven't had the courage to step out of the room. I cant imagine running into him again, I'll feel much worse. It's better I try feel better now before I see him again.It's both amazing and annoying how much Roman, can still have an effect on me. After all these years, he can make me cry, laugh or downright annoyed and angry, that I wish to strangle the life out of him. I dont understand how it is possible that I wasn't able to truly kick him out of my life, I mean I had made peace with him never returning back into my life, but now he's back. Everything was fine when he was gone, I had accustomed myself to my new normal without him in my life

My head is pounding, that's the first thing I feel as I wake up to a brightly lit room, which I realize is the hospital.So I am in the hospital, just great. I do remember being at the club with Danny, but somehow, I cant recall why Roman was also there. The full step by step details are mashed up and thinking too hard, trying to remember makes my head hurt a bit.Though I can recall trying to stop a fight and then everything went black.Looking around the room, my brows shoot up high when I see both Danny and Roman, passed out on those small couches. I'm fairly surprised that the two haven't killed each other yet.Gosh, this is not the weekend I'd been looking forward to. This one surely turned out to be a disaster, lying in the hospital is proof of that.As I shift on the bed trying to get comfortable, I hear movement on the small couch, this surely earning my attention. The person wa

For three days I've missed school. I couldn't really focus on anything and I was pretty much tired most of the time. Tomorrow though, I have every intention to go back to school, because I'd definetly lose my mind, if I stay any longer in bed.Sam had come to check on me earlier on, though he got a 10 minute permission to do so, with a female on standby, that female being Avery.I still wasn't sure about what was happening between them. I mean they gave no indication of things being more then what I witnessed, in all the times we've spent around each other.After that day, the two wouldn't be seen in the same room together, I'd say it's more on Sam, who did a repeat of what he normally does whenever Danny shows up. He leaves.I don't know what's going on with them, but I intend on finding out. But first, I need to check on what was going on with her and her ex Luke. The last time she mentioned him, she

I can't keep my eyes off of him right now as he stands in front of his bike, his back to me. I bite at my fingernail, telling myself that I'll do what I'd set out to do and then I'll leave him alone.We are partners after all and last night, we seemed civil enough to continue being that today. Taking a breath, I go on over to him, approaching him with caution. I hope he woke up on the right side of the bed today.Standing in front of him, I take another breath, saying a silent prayer before softly tapping his shoulder.He spins around to face me, making me to stagger back in surprise of his sudden movement.His brows shoot up in surprise.I'm pretty sure he wasn't expecting to find me standing in front of him."Hey, I was," I stop mid sentence when he takes out his earphones."Hey, you're back."

"What?" I finally ask, turning to face Avery, who's been staring at me for some time now, after Roman left."Nothing." She looks back down to her magazine, trying to avoid eye contact."Really, you actually expect me to leave this be, after you've been staring at me for God knows how long." She sighs, sitting upright now and looking at me. She opens and closes her mouth, she looks to be struggling with what to say."What is it?" I press."It's nothing really, just that -" "What?"" I know that you're just partners, but the way you two are so comfortable around each other, one would think you two have known each other for so long ." Yeah all our lives. I shake my head off that thought."Partners, that's all there is." I mumble, not meeting her eyes." I know that but the way h

Months later....I can't believe we finally did it, we graduated. I am more then ready to change the scenery and head on to college, with Roman ofcourse. He totally surprised me when he told me about how he'd had everything covered, before I could even start stressing about it. He literally begged that I let him have his way and darn it, I found myself agreeing before I could think about it, when he suddenly pouted, giving me innocent eyes and all.He can be so sneaky when he wants to.I finally left the Academy in good terms with the place, no longer was there fear or anxiety. I walked away with a smile, being in steady ground with some people. They have been a part of my story, a journey in which would honestly take us having a sit down, in order for me to retell.The life I have lived has been full of twists and turns, ups and downs and though at times, I felt like giving up

I can't get his words out of my head, no matter how much I try. What he said, has brought so many thoughts into mind and those words, could only mean one thing, whatever it is, is important. His body language and tone suggested it and I can't think otherwise.I know that he has given me free reign over his phone, like I have done so too, but I just couldn't find myself checking his phone as if I am snooping around. I mean I trust Roman so much, it's bloody impossible for me not to.I can't go and straight out ask him, because that would mean I was eavesdropping. I didn't mean to overhear his private conversation, I just happened to hear, that's all. There are so many things I don't want do, that may come out wrong in his eyes. " Urgh, this is so exhausting!" I groan out." What's exhausting?" My head snap up in the direction of his voice, where he stands at the doorway.Before I can an

A moan slips out of his lips as I plant kisses along his skin. My focus is sorely on his neck and under his jaw. " Baby, what are you doing?" He asks, his sleepy voice making him sound so hot right now." Morning." I murmur in his ear before continuing with my assualt right where his weak spot is." Hazel." He groans, placing his hands on my waist, squeezing it and causing me to jump slightly.I lean back to look down at him." Will you wake up now?" A smirk plays on his lips whilst still keeping his eyes closed." Roman, look at me already." I whine." But I'm still sleepy." He says, trying to fight off a grin." No you're not. I'm here and that's more then enough reason to want to wake up." " Nope." I gape in disbelief of his answer. Fine, if he wants to sleep, then I'll leave him alone, damn O'

" Hazel?" I snap out of the trance I was just in, turning to look at my dad.His eyes show concern, even his approach towards me is slow and careful. I watch him silently as he sits on the coffee table, infront of me.We stare at each other for a moment, before he sighs, taking my hand in his own." This is the second time you've been up like this, in the middle of the night. You need to sleep sweetheart."" He wont talk to me. " I say numbly." Hazel...."" Roman wont talk to me, he wont answer my calls. I'm selfish aren't I?"" Hazel don't do this." I pull my hand away, cutting him off." I should feel different after having made this decision, but I'm not. " I rise to my feet. " Being here has made me realise that it's no longer just about me anymore."I walk away and head up to my room, feeling exhausted but not enough

I'm sorry.They are the words that my grandparents couldn't help but repeat too many times. It's been years since I'd last seen them and I thought I would never see them again. Tensions and disagreements were the cause of us seperating. After my mother's passing, nothing was the same again. My grandparents never saw eye to eye with my father again, both parties mourned differently. My grandparents thought it would be best for them to leave with me and raise me, whilst my father had time to mourn yet my father disagreed. He refused to let me go.The tension was too much and it was not good for either one of us. They suddenly left and communication thinned, until it was no more. Though it saddened me to lose out on contact with them, I accepted that I would never see them again. Years passed but now they are back, they want to mend our relationship and right, their wrongs.

It truly hurt me to see my dad the way he was last night. The image is still stuck in my head. His words caused an ache to my heart. It hurts that my dad feels so hurt, the blame that he placed on his himself was not right.I don't want him to constantly blame himself, for what happened to me. It's not his fault. I want him to understand this. I have to set things right, I know I have to. Things cant go on like this, it's exhausting to go through this rollercoaster ride once again.It's like my family and I can't catch a break. We need a break from all this. It's my first morning being home, having woken up in my own bed and breathing homey air. It feels weird not waking up next to Roman or him, not being the first one I see. We are so used to being around each other, now only being a phone call away just feels different. Everything feels different but not too bad, though I miss him terribly but being

I could never catch a break.I thought I was done with hospitals already, now to find myself in here again, it tells a different story. I have woken up and Roman is the first person I see. His head is rested on my bed, his hand holding mine. I shift slightly and try pull my hand away but his grip tightens, refusing to let me go.I close my eyes and will myself not to cry. I am so exhausted emotionally and I feel like I can't deal with what happened to me and what, I had learnt not so long ago.I almost died again.I faced death but the difference is that I remember now. I thought I was done with the lies, I guess not. I knew that there would be people who did not like me, but for someone to hate me enough to kill me, that's a whole different level. I have had enough honestly and a part of me, wants me to quit on life but I know I can't. Roman, my dad, my family and friends wont allow me to.

You stole everything from me.What does that even mean?" How can I steal something from you, when I don't even know you?......You're Roman's friend, no, you aren't anymore. " I shake my head." When Roman finds out about this, he will never forgive you. Never." I say, turning my back to them.I can't believe she would do this to me, to Roman. She is Kyle's partner in crime and she's been pretending to be a good person." Don't you dare turn your back on me Hazel!" She shouts." I can do what ever I f*ckin' want!..... You can't tell me what to do and who do you think you are to order me around huh?!" I say, glaring at her over my shoulder." Oh you'll be eating those words very soon you lil' b***!"" I'm sure I wont. Not when I'll be out of here in no time. Roman is coming for me." I say in confidence of my words.I turn b
