2024-10-29 19:42:56Valerie walked up to me with a smile before engulfing me in a calm, friendly hug. I hugged her back before she pulled away.
"I've wanted to see you since my Aunt's party" she said before turning to David. "Hey Dave"
"Hi Val" David smiled smartly.
I didn't know wether to invite her in for something or to just have whatever discussion she's here to talk about right here. Of course she's got something to say to me and that's why she's here right now.
"Didn't think I'd see you here" Val told David.
"I dropped her off" David hummed beside me. "I'll just be leaving now" he said to both me and Val before kissing my cheek and walking off. We both watched as his car revved out of the parking lot.
"I thought your together with Scott" Val said looking a bit confused. I'm sure I am too, cause I don't know what she's talking about.
"Um...I don't understand"

A/N ok this chapter is mighty long but I thought I owed you guys a favour for not updating yesterday. So I hope you enjoy and don't forget to comment your favourite parts;)*****The smell of fresh baked cookies filled my nostrils reminding me of one of the reasons why I love to bake. Being in the kitchen has always thrilled me since I was a little girl. My mom even had me my own mini-kitchen. It was the best thing ever.Now, I get to cook in real kitchens, Where the oven timers goes off and if you don't hurry to get your cake or bread out, it gets it burnt. When I had my mini-kitchen, nothing ever gets burnt. I don't leave the kitchen sink running for too long. I was a perfect cook.Rose bantered over to me with a tray of fresh cookies. They had chocolate crusts in them and that made me only lick my lips the more."Your not planning on keeping yourself in here and brooding right?" Ro

I didn't want to seat on the rug even though it looked expensive enough to pay my rent. Kale sat next to me on the couch after introducing me to the little group as soon they started playing straw or whatever they call it. But you have to pass straws with your mouths to the next person."Stormy your in?" A blue head girl asked me. What is it with Kale having coloured hair friends like him. I shook my head. Only Scott seems normal. In the hair aspect. "Come on. It'd be fun" Cop said. I was beginning to wonder when he'd say something. He had his hair whiter and added a few rings to his face."I'm good" I said placing my hands on my legs. I stared at Kim and she snorted before wrapping her arms round Scotts arm and he didn't even make a move to move her away. I winced feeling sick to my stomach."All you have to do is pass the straw with your mouth" Cop grinned."She's not playing"

Scott placed his hands on my thighs the moment we got into his car. I sent a quick message to Anna telling her I'd left and that I'm alright. Scott started the car and we were off to who knows where?I'm hoping he takes us to his apartment cause I need to be alone with him tonight. I fear Anna might come back to the house and I don't want her asking me questions."Storm" Scotts voice broke through the silence in the car."Where do you want us to go?" He asked softly. His voice was a direct contrast of the one he was using some few minutes, back at Escala. I was wondering what changed but I guess we've both had a long evening and the weight of it is downing on our shoulders now.I just want to be alone with Scott. To kiss him, to hold him. Even though I don't know where we stand right now."Your place""My place it is" he did a sharp bend I feared he'd topple us over. But h

I woke up from the heat of the blanket over me. I Rememberd Scott had turned the heater on when we arrived last night. I struggled to move but was stuck. It wasn't the blanket but Scott. He was laying on me with his head on my stomach. I ran my hands through his hair.His hands gripped my waist as I tried to wiggle out of his hold. I need to use the bathroom quick and have a glass of water. Probably, turn the heat down a little bit. Scott wasn't sweating cause he wasn't the one suffocating just now. I pulled his hand away softly before i was able to crawl out of bed.Last night, Scott poured his heart out to me. Well, not all of his heart cause he didn't say he loves me. Not yet and I don't know if he ever will but I'm content with what I have with him right now.It's better than nothing. And I'd rather have Scott say hurtful things to me every day than have to stay a week or two without

I asked so I just kept my cool. But one of these days, I'll press everything I want and need to know out of him. Including his dreadful nightmares he said he has from time to time. It was also nice to know he doesn't have them when I'm around and he sleeps like a baby.I squirted toothpaste all over my brush before pastering it to my teeth. I'm still at Scott's. I didn't leave last night cause he promised to drop me very early at school but now he's still in bed.I thought about splashing him some cold water to get up but as quickly as that thought came, it varnished.When I got back to the room, my phone buzzed on the nightstand so I picked it up to see a message from my mom and David. I decided to read my mom's own later and read David's own now.I need to call my mom cause I haven't spoken to her in like forever and I know she misses me. Gosh I'm terrible at being a good daughter.C

This is not happening again. They're friends and they need to get along. I hate to believe this is all my fault."Scott" I whimpered."Get inside" he said coldly and harshly. He opened the door for me to get in and I got in silently.He shared one more look with Kale who looked unphased by his glare. Scott got in next to me and I expected nothing less than an ear

"you can stay here as long as you want dear" Elle said. We were both in the kitchen and I was teaching her one of my infamous way of baking.I smiled at her."You can also help me work on my greenhouse" she said and then leaned in close to me. "David is doing a shitty job at helping" she grinned and I chuckled."That's not true. I'm sure he's very helpful""Yeah. For carrying buckets around but not planting" she said and we both laughed.I haven't seen Carter around and David said he was still at work. I didn't ask what work he does cause I don't want to pry. I've pried enough already."At least David is helpful. I'm sure Scott can't lift a bug" She said with a smile and my mood was instantly soured. She realised her lack of sensitivity and closed her mouth. I told Elle everything that happened. Excluding the part where he said I should fuck Kale. I cringed.

Playlist;The Scientistby Corinne Bailey Rae ••• Two Years Later "You make a beautiful bride" I say to Val and her eyes brighten up like lots of stars. She seems so happy, carefree and have been super nice recently. Actually, it all started when she started dating that Ben guy. Remember? The eye-glass guy. The one that creeped the hell out of Scott at his sendforth party 2years ago. Speaking of Scott... When he left to Milan, we'd been in touch. He'd called a lot of times, we face-timed. And even though it wasn't always easy, with him being so far away, we coped. More than once I'd seen him with other girls on social meida and I'd grow jealous but he'd say they're only friends. We had a fight once because of that, and we didn't speak for a whole week but we made right up. Since then, we didn't speak much. We seemed to just distance oursel

I walk down the aisle of Target mall, picking whatever junk there is to pick. Scott is by my side. One hand stuffed in his pocket, while the other navigated the trolley.It's his last day here in NY with me and we decided to do some shopping. It wasn't the most fanciest thing to do together seeing he was leaving tomorrow but who cares! He solely agreed to come shopping with me even though he hated shopping, and malls all together."Is that all you want babe?" He asked and I grin. Oh yeah, he's paying for all the junk I pick. Consider it a little present for his going away. It's been months since I came to the realization that Scott wouldn't be with me again for a long time, but now the burden is just weighing on me so much, because it's so close."Not exactly. I want more snacks" I say and take a left turn on another aisle. Scott being the patient boyfriend that he was, followed me without complaining.

Two weeks since Scott and I have been back together. The sentence seemed impossible but here we are. Now we're planning for Scott's sendforth party to Milan. He'd be leaving in two days time, and Elle just saw it fit to throw him a party as we might not see for a year or months."That's a very unlucky color" Scott said in a annoyance behind me."Are you being sarcastic or you're just being an ass" I tell him and his eyes roll."Oh yeah, my sarcasm meter is really red right now" he sends me a short and attitudinal smile which sends me into a fit of laughter. And like all other events, Scott was thinking of sitting this one out too. But he can't, because the event was made for him."Try out the navy blue suit" I suggest."Are you fucking with me right now? It's a sendforth not a wedding!" He growls."But you want to look good" I tell him, his left brow go up.

I have my hair In a loose bun by the time I'm out for the shower, I oiled my skin, making it glow so bright. My eyes are no longer dull, my lip is no longer twitched in an annoying manner. I feel happy with myself. Happy that I'm happy within. The very person that's brought me sorrow in the last few months is now the same person making me happy. He's always been the one making me happy.And even when he couldn't remember me, somtimes I sat and thought of what could've been, or what had been. I visited the lake so many times, remembering the time I went there with Scott. I woee most of his shirts at night, and I listened to The Fray so much because it reminded me of him and the time we first argued about a favorite band, on one of the first days we met.I smile, glaring at myself in the mirror before I walk out of the bathroom, I fling on one of Scott's shirt on as I know he always loved when I wore it. Nothing's changed I hope.

Storm POVWhen I wake up, my eyes immediately dart to the floor-to-ceiling window, covered with grey and white curtains. Then I turn to stare at the grey pillow. My head didn't hurt so much, I wasn't feeling too drowsy, and I feel light.The door pushed opened and in walks Scott, his eyes wide when he sees me on the bed, then he drops the tray in his hand before hurrying to me. His arms wrap round my body and I'm rigid for a while before I burst into a fit of tears, my arms almost strangling the air out of him as I hold him tight."I'm sorry, I'm sorry" he muttered, his voice shaking. When he pulls away a little bit, I see tears in his eyes and they're red. It's not everyday you see Scott cry, and seeing him cry now, just jerks me."You remember now" I mutter with tears, my palms touching both his cheeks.He lowers his head, sobbing and hiccuping some more, I place my hand

Scott POVThe back of my head is stinging with so much pain as I try to get up from the floor. Kim is hovering over me with a look of what I think is worry in her eyes. I glare at Nolan who suddenly looked guilty for hitting me."Are you ok?" Kim asks, her palms touching my cheek.I stare round the room at the eyes staring down at me. Kale is missing and so is..."Where's Storm?" I ask as I hurry to get off the floor. Kim eyes flew wide when I ask of Storm."Did you just call her Storm and not Stormy?" Nolan asked, approaching me carefully."What the fucking hell is wrong with all of you? Where is Storm?" I yell.I see Kale run back, look of panic on his face. "I really can't find her anywhere" he says and I frown."Who?" I ask him."Stormy" Kale sighs, his hands flying into his hair."Don

Scott POVI follow Kim back into the house. Somehow, talking with Stormy made me feel relaxed about something. I don't feel so hostile agaisnt her anymore."Want a drink?" Kim asked me and I shake my head. I'm staying away from that one this night."You said Kale was looking for me""No he wasn't. I just missed you" she pouts, lifing her legs up to plant a kiss on my cheek and I sigh. I should've known it was a lie. But whatever, it's Kim and it's not new so there's no point getting mad at her.When she's done kissing my cheek, she wraps her arms round my neck, and my hand go round her waist. She's nibbling on my ear. "Let's have some fun" she whispers to me and before I can answer, she starts pulling me toward a nested couch area."Hey Kim!" The bartender calls her and her head quirks before she looks at me."Wait here" she says and then

Stormy POV"Don't tell me Escala is the place you wanted us to hang out at" I said to Nolan when we pull up on the street lane to the party mansion. I still can't understand why a place like that could be used as a party hangout spot for horny and crazy teenage kids."You don't like here?" Nolan asked.I don't just dislike the place. I hate the place. It's the reason I and Scott are apart now. The reason so many bad things happened to Scott and and I. And I'm not not neglecting the fact that Scott is going to be there with Kim."Just relax alright?"Kale invited me for his birthday party, but I purposely wanted to skip it, and here I am pulling up into Escala's driveway. I let out a sigh, preparing for another worst night of my life.The party is already on. Half dressed females as usual, all packed out by the pool, while guys with hot trunks drove into th

Flames! I'm in a car. I'm not little. I'm my big self, watching my little self crying for my grandparents that are locked up in flames inside the car. How I got out is still a miracle to me. I'm standing, watching, helpless. There's nothing I can do. I try to move. Try not to hold the little boy that's crying, and comfort him, but I can't. Then there's that voice. A females voice that I've been hearing in my nightmares"You don't love me anymore, I need you back!" Knock! Knock!I groan getting up from bed at the continuous knocking going on at my room door. My head is throbbing and I'm having a site headache. It's been like this for hours, that's why I took a nap, but it's still there."What?!" I bark when I open the door and see one of the guys staring at me, his eyes wide at my rudeness, but he should be used to it now."Kale said to wake you up. Party starts in an hou
