2024-10-29 19:42:56I 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

Kim stared at both of us like she's just seen her greatest nightmare, coupled up with an evil smirk like she was going to unleash all hell on both of us. Walk away Storm. Just walk away. But no. I stood there, challenging her to say one shit to me. I've had enough of her attitude and she always trying to come in between Scott and I. My fist clenched tightly."What are you doing here?" Scott asks her and her eyes flickered from me to Scott as if sending him a signal."Oh so what? She lives here now?" Her wicked mouth spurned. I stayed by Scott, still, waiting."Just leave Kim""Don't you think this is too much? You've gone too far Scott" She scoffed and Scott turned to me looking a bit uneased."Stormy, go up. I'll be there with you soon" He said and my anger flared up. How dare he trie to shut me out on this. And he called me Stormy. Not Strom. That's an un

That's it. This Semester is over. I walked out of literature class with David by my side. He too was grinning. It was a stressful semester. Especially for me. The fight and the quarrels with Scott put me in a bad position. But I'm glad it's all over. I hope it's all over."So what do you plan on doing during the holidays. Going back to Canada?" David asked me. We were headed for the coffee shop to have a last of it for this year before next semester."Nope. My mom is coming over instead" I said and he stopped walking, only to look at me."And she's going to stay with you and Scott in his apartment?""It's our apartment now" I reminded him. "And by the way, Scott seemed pleased about it"David pushed open the door for me to enter to enter the cafe. I smiled at his gentlemanly behaviour."Wow. That doesn't sound like Scott at all but if you say he's ok with it, cool"

The ride back home was quiet and observing. I spent most of the time staring out through the window at the buildings rushing by. Scott too was silent as he drove, his left hand on the steering wheel and the right kept running through his hair in between minutes.We were both waiting for who would break the silence. The conversation or more like heated talk at the coffee shop. The spark between David and Scott has been lingering around for a while now but today, it went off. I was expecting Scott to react more than he did but he didn't. The topic of Anna mellowed him down."Storm" Scotts voice sliced through the silence in the car. I swiveled my head to look at him. He was contemplating something in his head. But what?"Are you mad at me? Please say something""I'm not mad" was my honest reply. I faced the window again."I know you better than that, Storm. Something is bothering you"

I hurried to move off the couch like I was just caught having sex in a garage. But this my house. I and Scotts house and I don't know why his mom choose to show up in the middle of no where but I won't feel intimidated. Scott moved from behind his mom to my side."You didn't tell me you where coming over" He growled in a low displeasing voice. It had me wondering what would've happened if she had walked in on us having sex on the couch. I cringed."I can't visit my own son again?" While she said this her eyes were on me taking in my loose shirt and casual jeans. The woman looked too uptight for a normal visit. Her gown looked like something good she'd bought from a Gucci store. Her rhinestone earring was glittering, casting a different light across the room."A call would have been ok"

With a smile on my face, I exited the room with an angry Scott in the bathroom. He's still brooding about me locking him out of the bathroom so I could shower alone. And then he resulted to saying he's going to send his mom home to Baltimore. He's so rude.I could hear plates clanking in the kitchen and the coffee machine going on and off. On reaching the bottom of the stairs, Grace was in a purple tracksuit and I must say, it is a change from the two times I've seen her.The garden party and last night. She looked someone straight out of a vogue magazine even in simple wear.She dipped her hand into a bowl of berries and turned to me standing in the doorway. A smile stretch on her face."Good morning" I smiled going toward her. I'm not sure the kind of conversation to have with Scott's mom so I just sat down quiet hoping for Scott to come down soon. But knowing Scott, he might choose to seat this one out and brood throughout the day."I'm sure you rested well. Where's Scott?""The bat

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
