"It's getting late." He whispered in my ear. My eyes flew open and I sat up while he passed me my clothes. I put them on and he escorted me to the bus stop. The sun was setting and the orange sky grew darker as we walked side by side down the street." Why you so quiet?" He asked." Oh nothing, just thinking." I replied but honestly, my heart felt heavy. I knew coming here was a bad idea. He pulled me out of the road by my waist as a speeding car zoomed past." Get your head out of the clouds Thandie, I didn't screw you that hard did I?" He said smirking and I slipped out of he's grip." Oh please." I scoffed. " I know you won't admit it, I know." He laughed as we finally reached the bus stop and fortunately the bus appeared." See you." He smiled as he helped me on to the bus."Bye." I smiled back. The bus was mostly empty with a handful of people. I sat down at a window seat and leaned against the glass. The steam from my breathe blurring my vision as I stared out the window and reg
Have you ever felt like your looking at life through a screen, like it's just a hologram that you will never be part of? And you keep wondering aimlessly doing the same things over and over again. That's how I felt as the days went by, slowly getting consumed by the school work, the social anxiety I always hid with a smile and my devastating obsession with Dante. I couldn't help it, this man had such a chokehold on me that I couldn't help but have flashbacks that would leave me hot, sweaty and craving for more of him. Sometimes I'd think about Jason and couldn't help but smile, annoying as he was, I kind of regretted treating him that harshly, he hadn't harmed me in any way and seemed to be pretty decent. Zahira snapped her fingers in my face noticing that I had zoned out." Hey heyy, Thandie. Earth to Thandie.""Oh sorry." I said snapping out of my day dream." Literally zoned out there. Who are we thinking about?" Annalise said resting her head on her hand. We were seated in the lect
Finally the concert came to an end and it was time for us to leave. I, honestly was still in shock, as we walked out of the building with people streaming out in clustered groups. " Wasn't that the best concert ever?!" Annalise said she still was as excited as she was before the concert while Zahira and I looked exhausted. " I need sleep." Zahira moaned before resting her head on my shoulder. " Sure, I'll call an uber." I said getting my phone from my purse to call one."Hey you!" A loud voice said behind me, startling me so much that I almost dropped my phone. It was one of the usher's and yes, he was calling out to me. I looked around confused, I didn't think I had done anything wrong."Come with me.""Hey hold up, what did she do wrong?" Zahira said standing between the usher and I."She hasn't done anything wrong, she's just needed inside.""Well we're coming with." Annalise spoke up."No, it's just her." The usher said and I looked around at my friends, I knew who wanted me the
Tears streamed down my eyes as I walked slowly down the street in the pouring rain. The street was empty and lights reflected off the water, rippling on the pavement as I walked. Soaked to the bone, I bit my lip to keep myself from sobbing. Why is it always me? These words echoed in my head as I finally reached my apartment. The second I closed the door, I completely broke down sobbing as loud as I could because I couldn't hold it in any longer. It happened again, the boy I gave everything to was just using me. I gave him everything, my time, my money, my body but it turns out I wasn't the one he wanted. No, he wanted the i*******m model because apparently "he didn't want to ruin our friendship and lose me by dating me" does that make sense? What's even worse is that I had learnt with her in highschool, we even used to sleep in the same dormitory and he knew that!I cupped my face in my hands and leaned on the door. After a while I took out my phone and deleted his number then started

"Are you okay?" My friend, Zahira, asked looking concerned. Her dark eyes focused on me as she tied her long dark hair into a ponytail."Of course I am, why wouldn't I be? I'm just thinking about the assignment that's all." I said quickly. We had just finished our only class for the day and had decided to have lunch at a burger place that was close by. I ran my finger on the familiar scratches on the wooden table as my mind buzzed with annoying thoughts. The place was nothing fancy, it was just comfortable and warm, that's why we loved it so much. It had a friendly atmosphere too, plus the food was really good. Annalise, my other close friend, stared at me and I looked at her confused."What?" I asked."There's something you're not telling us, isn't there Thandie?" She slit her eyes at me. She was pretty intimidating for a petite girl, her dark dreadlocs were tied up in a bun and her gold hooped earrings gleamed in the light. She had on a black mask that she used to cover up the vitili
