2024-10-29 19:42:56I 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.

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.

Scott POVShe left! I told her I love her and she left. She just got into that car and walked away. I squeezed my hands tight so I don't run after the car and lessen the tires. I'm mad that she left just right after I confessed I love her and I'm also slightly mad at myself for saying that in front of my friends.Now, they're all looking at me like I have two heads. Fuck! So much for being a fuck boy.I noticed Kale walking toward me. "Don't even say a word" I tell him and he shrinks back. I've got to find her. I need to hear what she has to say.I know she already told me I'm late but I don't believe that. I could see the longing in her eyes when I told her I love her. She doesn't have me fooled. She loves me too. I know."What was that about, Scott" Kim ruptured! I don't even have time for her nonsense right now either."Aren't

I stood in the doorway to Scott's room which as Elle said, was opposite mine. Scott was sitting on the bed with his face pressed against his palms. He was shirtless but in loose pants. I knocked twice on the door and his head snapped up.They looked hopeful when they saw me standing there but I wasn't still ready to promise him anything until I know what this his new habit is about. I walked into the room and shut the door behind me."Let me see your hand" I said and sat next to him. I had noticed the cloth he wrapped around it when he walked in and he'd tried to hide it from me throughout dinner."It's nothing" he mumbled."It's either I see or I leave" I said and hoped he didn't say Leave. Cause I'm sure he's capable of doing anything at anytime. But instead, he looked defeated as he raised his hand to me. I uncovered the clothe to find his knuckles busted."How did this happen?"

I thought I was completely at sleep until I heard a strangled scream from across the hall. I jerked out of bed and got to my feet while listening for that scream to come again."Please! Help!"Scott! The voice was coming from his room. He was having a nightmare again. I remember the last time was when we were at his loft. Seriously, I thought it stopped. I was thankful he didn't lock the door as I rushed into the room and I gasped at the sight in front of me.Scott was sweating and his legs tangled up in the sheets. A crease formed on his brows while his lips parted. I found myself hovering over him and brushing his sticky hair away from his face."Wake up, Scott. It's just a dream" I said to him and his eyes snapped opened. I thought he was going to scream or do something silly but to my surprise, he pulled me by my waist and dragged me to his side. He tucked his hands beneath my head and the other went r

Seating in one of Prof. Astor class made me realise that I haven't given him an answer to his offer. He must've been waiting for long but I still haven't contacted my mom. She told me to text her some few days back but I ignored that. The reason, unknown to me. Oh yeah!...Knowing my mom, once I call her or pick up any of her calls, her first question would've been to ask about how I'm faring and I wasn't so sure I was doing fine under the last few weeks. Except when Scott told me he loved me. I felt great and now, we're together I hope. I just wish he doesn't do something stupid. He always does. Mostly, it's just his temper.David clasped his hands on mine and I stared at him. The class was over and I'd drawled my way through. I only hope I can meet up soon. This semester is coming to an end in two weeks anyway and we'll be In the holiday seasons. The Christmas seasons. No wonder it's been so cold lately.

I set the bowl of flour on the kitchen counter and stood behind it. Scott insisted he wanted pancakes and we're making it together. I watched as he cracked four eggs into a bowl. Now it's ready for whisking."You know the semester is ending soon right" I said, hoping to catch a conversation. Scott has been too quiet and I'm beginning to think he's still mad about the Jacob incident."Of course I'm aware. Aren't I in the school? " he poured the whisked egg into the bowl of floor and then I started mixing it."That leads to the second question. Do you know it's less than there weeks to Christmas?" I asked and he chuckled."Are you trying to annoy me?""Nope!"i set the bowl of mixed flour down and then put the pan on the cooker while Scott added milk to the mixture. I don't know why he insist on using milk all the time. I love mine without milk. But either way, it's still good pancake.

I squeeze my hands tight drawing blood. Scott was strolling to where David and I stood. He had his hand filled with coffee. Coffee from Rose's cafe. He went to see her. He looked sleek in dark jeans and for once, it wasn't ripped at the knee. He was on a plain black shirt and on it, he wore a long jacket that reached to his knees. And I'm well aware that I'm not the only girl staring at him right now.He's mine. I'll be goddamned!When he got to me, he grinned popping his dimples. "I got these for you" He literally pushed the coffee into my hand. All around were some people staring at us. Somehow, he managed to make an entrance. I stared at him and shook my head with a grin. Classic Scott."You went to see Rose? Why?""To ask for blessings" Scott said timidly making Joseph laugh. I hit his arms and he stopped."Really? Blessings? Just yesterday you asked me to move

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
