The clouds looked like fuzzy, clumped up pieces of cotton wool from my position at the window.

"Good afternoon everyone, this is your captain speaking. The American Airline flight to California will be landed in about seventy minutes. Do enjoy the rest of your flight." The deep baritone voice called out over the speakers and I couldn't help but feel my stomach knot in anxiety.

Seventy minutes more till I land in the same city as Luka. This was all I wanted all month long, all I planned for the last one week.

Taking this step was proving harder than I thought it would be. Saying goodbye to my mom, Annie, Tammy and Dylan this morning and I almost burst into tears at how much I'm going to miss them.

"You've got this, Isabella." I whispered underneath my breath and blew air through my mouth to try to calm myself.

I opened my wallet and dug out the description Paula gave me written on a piece of paper and checked to be sure the card my mom pressed into my hands earlier this morning wa

    LUKAI've never had any issue finding home in a new place without family or friends. I ran away from home and lived on my own for two years spending months at a place before moving on till I fell in love. Finding my footing in university has been hard. The thing with going on to college is that it exposes your inadequacies. I've come to learn that i'm not as smart or gifted as I think I am. I've passed through everything barely putting in maximum effort till I got to college. Now I have to put in effort to an extent at least, I have to study, do assignments, presentations and all of that. I'm also not interested in making friends right now, though somehow people always surround me. After class today, I went straight to see a lawyer regarding Leonardo. I meant what I said about having him live with me. I'm all settled in now and and I can start working on it. It's not going be so easy though. Apparently, it might take me suing my parents and I'll have to prove it in court that they

    BELLA I stretch out my hands lazily to the side, searching for the warmth I clung to all night but finding nothing before I lazily open my eyes and reach for my phone on the bed stand. I sat up in shock when I saw the time. It's almost noon. The blinds were drawn so that there was no bright light flooding the room so I didn't know time had gone. The emptiness beside me is my answer that Luka had already gotten up. But I knew he slept in this bed last night. Sometimes at night I woke up to find us pressed into each other side by side. The memory stretched my lips into a small smile. One of the best things ever is to be spooned by Luka. It's one of the most intimate non sexual thing between us which I really like. I do like the sexual parts between us too. I open the room door gently and stuck only my head out trying to check if he is still around before I go out there. The area was empty so I stepped out only to see a note stuck on the fridge. I have classes back to back. Order in

    LUKAI waited for her to come to bed tossing and turning around till it was almost 2am before I finally got up to go and find her. She wasn't in the living room so I go to the other room only to find her curled up on her side on the floor wearing her jacket. I mutter a string of curses underneatg my breath. "for fuck sakes, I didn't say sleep on the floor. The bed is not here yet, so of course we have to share the one available." Now I seem like a total prick for making her sleep on the cold floor in an empty room with no cover or blanket on her. I hiss again before cursing out. There I go again feeling like an ass. I bent and carried her up bridal style and taking her to the bed. She did the same thing from last night, clinging on to me and adjusting into my warmth. Her cheeks were tearstained and I cursed myself inwardly. I lay there beside her for a while watching her sleep. The rise and fall of her chest, the softness in her features illuminated by the dim white light. The

    "D! I miss you." I exclaim with a whine, leaning on the kitchen counter and staring at Dylan's cute face over Luka's shoulder. "Bella the Baller" Dylan screamed out and Luka moved his phone out of reach and I rolled my eyes at how petty he was being."Don't you have each other's number? If you want to reunite why don't you do it on your own terms and separately?" He hissed out and I continued trying to peer into the screen to see Dylan while he kept moving away from me. I could hear Dylan's soft chuckle in the background as we struggled for the phone screen. "Why won't you just let me see his face," I screamed at Luka. "He is my friend too." "Then call him with your own phone and on your own time." He answered back, moving towards the living area and I followed him. "Why can't both of you act like grown ups?""Shut up." Luka fired at Dylan now. And I tried to reach over his head to get the phone. Somehow my breasts brushed the side of his arms and we both noticed the contact and

    The loud bangs on the door woke me up with a start and I got up from the couch. The same one Luka ordered which I hated the day he got it but I've come to love. I rub my eyes and wobble to the door on tired feet. It's the same routine the last few days. Wake up, ignore me, go to school together and come back home drunk. I'm low-key worried now on the amount of alcohol Luka consumes, no way that is healthy. I open the door relectantly to a tipsy Dylan with messy hair. He also smelled of a different perfume which I caught when he wobble on his feet and I reached out to stable him by placing me hand around his waist and letting him lean on me. I assisted him till we got to the couch. My inside was twisting with jealousy. "Where were you?" I asked leaning down to peer at his face. "At a party." He chuckled after answering and I didn't know what was funny. I stare down at him and how inebriated he was, muttering sentences I didn't understand before I hissed and went to the k

    I kicked a stray pepple on the sidewalk and groaned in frustration. Ever part of my body ached. From my head, to my thighs, arms, back and feet. Practise today was hell. Coach had decided to take things to a whole new level for the female team. One of the biggest blessings of moving down here is their sports program. It is way better than my former school. I wanted to pour ice in a tub and soak my thighs in it. That's how much it was burning. Especially the laps he had us do. It was also already late. This is the latest I've ever had to leave a basketball court in my life. It was almost 8pm. The moment I stepped out of the elevator to the hallway that led to our own apartment, I almost burst into tears. I could hear loud music booming from one of our apartment and I couldn't help praying that it shouldnt be coming from our next door neighbours. When I came to stop in front of our door and found out that the loud music was indeed coming out of our own apartment it just ramped

    LUKA I'm grateful that today is a Saturday and I have nothing major to do at campus this morning. I stretch tiredly before going to make myself a protein shake. I haven't been in the gym all week and I needed it to get pumped enough to start the day. The living area was the same way I left it last night. I tried to do some preliminary cleanup, just so it didn't look like a dungeon but it still needed professional cleaning to get it back to my taste. I woke up Joey, the cool guy from engineering I met a few weeks back. He had a twisted kind of dark humor which always cracked me up. He was the only one I let sleep over last night. Everyone else left last night including the two that continued the party in Bella's room. I raise my head to her door now thinking of her. She looked pretty mad at me yesterday. It's not my fault that she didn't see the message about me informing her of having friends over on time. That's on her not me and I wouldn't have even been mad at her if she ha

    BELLAThe dejavu I felt waking up in a hospital bed with Luka beside me was the first thing that hit me. We have too many of these scenarios between us already. Me fainting his car and him taking me to the hospital, him staying right beside me after my kidnap and now this. He had his head on the bed beside me, and he was clasping my left hand tightly. I reached out to feel a wet piece of cloth on my forehead and a drip inserted. I felt better. Definitely not as weak as I did yesterday and the aching had subsided. I must have scared him again. Considering the fact that he was full blown frowning in sleep and his lips were slightly parted. I tried to pull my hand out of his grasp and the motions woke him up because he was getting up immediately, "what is it? Are you okay? Do I go and get someone? Do you want anything?" He asked the questions so fast like he was rapping out lyrics to a song that I barely had time to answer. "I'm fine," I croak out and notice that my throat is dry.

    My hands trailed on the rough skin on Bella's thigh with so much concentration that I didn't miss it when she flinched away. The loving and tenderness that I have spent the last one hour coaxing into her skin was gone. In its place was the rigid straightening of her spine and shoulders, an indication of how tense she suddenly became, almost as if she knew what was coming.The last six months we have been living in a bubble. I had accepted that it was okay for her not to say those three magical words that used to make my heart soar back to me, but lately it's been getting to me. Or maybe it's the way she never wants to talk about the 2 year gap in our relationship, or the baby we didn't know we had but lost. I want to know if she still secretly blames me for what happened. If every single time she sees the scars she hates me the way I do myself. I didn't mean to but I sighed loudly, my shoulder drooping before I rolled her body away from mine and got up padding softly to the bathroom

    "I'm really sorry for the part I played in this. Especially knowing that you saw everything that happened that night. We staged a ruse and didn't take you into consideration and for that I'm sorry. Luka is my friend, and all I want is for him to be happy. He means so much to me that's why I came here and I told you my side of the story, it's up to you now whether you believe it or not." Erica ended and got up to leave. I couldn't bring myself to nod or acknowledge her. She had shown me proof that she was after all in a relationship with someone then, who was a professor at their school and telling me this could put her in trouble but she had chosen to do it anyway. I don't know what I was expecting to feel when the 'proof' came, but I'm not sure it's this. If I don't have the usual anger or person to blame for all my predicament then where do I stand? What is this deflated feeling I have in my stomach? Like a balloon punctured at the far end. "Bella," Luka began after a whi

    The ride down to Luka's place was one of the most uncomfortable rides I've ever had to endure. My reference to his trysts with other girls was like an elephant in the room. It made me irritated and angry but he looked sad and kept giving me glances which I acted like I wasn't aware of. It was a different apartment from the last one which came to me as a suprise. But what I didn't expect was to see a fur covered, energetic dog launch at me. It did occur to me to go back to the shelter and ask about her wellbeinh after I got out of the hospital but I always assumed she would have been adopted or have moved on without remembering who I was. The moment she saw me she barked loudly and ran to me, wagging her tail. She remembered me, and that made me so warm and happy inside. I spent the next few minutes sitting there on the floor of Luka's studio apartment recieving her licks and hugs and reciprocating her love with my belly rubs and hugs. It took a while before she went on to greet Luk

    Life was slowly and steadily returning to normal. Did I cry alot after that phone call with Luka? Yes. Did I fight the urge to go to him and be sure he is okay concerning the pregnancy bombshell I dropped on him? Yes. Did I think he'll show up after that night and actually accept responsibility to apologize for the way every thing turned out? Again Yes. But he didn't. Somehow, whatever I said to him must have resounded with him because he stayed away just as I asked. And it took a while but I took a day at a time. I showed up to classes, I smiled when it was necessary and went to as much of the freshers parties I could go to while my therapist tried to make sure I didn't loose my mind. Day in day out, I told myself that now that I have confronted Luka with all the hurt and the pain, I didn't need to see him again and I was happy that he didn't show off so why was he here now and why did I feel the familiar warmth and twinge in my chest that was usually there whenever I was near h

    LUKAKnowledge isn't always power, it's sometimes pain. The kind that has you buckled over like you were kicked in the nuts. Nothing about this all consuming pain makes knowing about everything feel powerful. l feel powerless. With no single idea on how to fix this. My eyes burn and my wrist hurts from drawing and painting all day today. I also felt weak all over. When I drove down to Bella's dorm room last night all that was going on in my head was that I needed it not to be true. That there was a way out, a slim ray of hope that still gives me a redeemable chance but it had turned out to be the opposite of that. Not only had the details of what happened over the one year that I had stormed into my dad's office to get, found out to be true there were also more. Like a baby, a child between Bella and I that had miscarried. So much has happened, and I have no idea how I'm going to fix it. I haven't slept in almost 72hours. From the flight down home, to the flight back to going to

    BELLA"Who is there?" I snapped. The loud noise coming from the person banging at the door repeatedly and forcefully echoed around my little room. "Who is there?" I called out even louder than earlier and was met with no response, just continuous, loud, pounding on the door. I thought about ignoring the person since they didn't answer me, and also because it was too late at night to be calling on someone since it was raining heavily. I grabbed my phone, "if you're not going to answer, I'm calling Campus security." The knocks and pounding stopped for a while after my threat and I heard the person curse out loudly in a strange language that wasn't totally foreign to me, since I knew the accent. Before I could come up with a solution, the loud knocks continued. I opened the door intent on giving the person a piece of my mind if it was who I thought it was and I was right. It was Luka. He was standing there soaking wet from the rain with his teeth chattering from cold and his eyes re

    LUKAI woke up with an insane need to vomit and shot out of the tiny bed, searching with my eyes for the nearest toilet before I did it all over the floor. I barely made it to the toilet bowl before I found myself puking all over the cramped toilet floor. I puked and puked till I started to retch and my entire body felt weak and tired. Where the fuck am I and how did I get there? I lay back down on the cold floor, a little farther from the mess I just made but close to the toilet seat, and rubbed my head trying to remember bits and pieces from last night. It was the same thing from the last few days. I went out to drink, then Dylan joined me and the night ended with me drinking to stupour basically.I looked around the room, the toilet floor did look clean and I had zero energy to lift my body up right now anyway. The patterns on the floor of the toilet were faded like it had been scrubbed off due to use. From my position on the floor I couldn't see past a flowery pattern shower c

    BELLA"I ran into Luka at school." I tried to make my declaration as unimportant as possible so that my mom wouldn't be alarmed or throw a fit and I must have succeeded because she didn't say anything. She was putting away the groceries and if not for the slight pause in her movements I would have thought she didn't hear me. "Ma, did you hear me?" I asked just to be sure. "It's been more than two weeks now why are just telling me?" My mouth opened on its own when she said that. "How...how did you know?" I managed to stammer out. "Are you having me followed?" I chuckled at the question, "nah, we don't have enough money for that." "Seriously mum, how did you know?" "Why else did you put your head on my laps and was crying some weeks ago? And what else could be the reason behind you moping? The only reason you're telling me now, is because you're moving to the dorms tomorrow." Wow. Nothing ever passed by this woman. Nothing. As in Zilch, Zero, Nada. "Just because I didn't say a

    LUKAI threw my bag to the floor and fell on the couch like a sack of potatoes before sighing loudly. Sam, who when she heard the door open ran up to me wagging her tail in excitement followed me now to the couch and I stretched to pat her on the head. It did make me feel good everytime I walked in and there was always someone excited to see me. I barely had any time to think about my sad life and everything that happened today; from seeing Bella earlier to her running away, to me going back to school to finish up some school work to coming back home.But I know that I'm tired, very much so. I really think it's more mental exhaustion than physical. I guess I deserved this cold treatment but it didn't mean that it didn't hurt cause it hurts like a bitch. I got up and trudged to the fridge to get a bottle of water and the moment the cold liquid entered my stomach in protest it grumbled. I haven't eaten anything almost all day. I opened the fridge to search for something I could eat
