2024-10-29 19:42:56As we enter into David's house, there's Elle seating on the couch with a newspaper in her hand but when I look well, surely it's a fashion magazine. Her eyes lit up when she catches me in the hallway, but the fall when they see how wet and gloomy I look.
She abandons the magazine on the coffee table and walks to me, her hands cupping my cheek.
"You look mighty cold. Are you alright?"
The same moment, David steps in also looking wet from the rain and her face is full of confusion. She looks behind us and I'm sure she's expecting to see her nephew but he's not coming. At least until I leave here. I don't want to ever be in the same space as Scott ever again. He used me, made me feel like a fool in front of his friends. Kim! Curse him!
"I'll heat up tea for the both of you. Stormy, go up and change" She kisses my cheek before retreating to the kitchen. I stare at David immediately.

The lamp by the corner is flung to the floor as Scott switches to full rage. I have tears rolling down my eyes as I do nothing to stop him from destroying the house. The front door swings opened and in walks Carter. He goes straight for Scott, pulling his shirt and shaking him."Scott! Stop this shit now!"Scott's eyes meet mine and they are redder than I've ever seen them. He's also crying and my heart breaks into a million pieces as he walks out the door, silent but with a hidden promise that it's over. It's all over. I want this. It's good for us to be apart this is best.Carter rushes to hug his weeping wife and I cling to the door frame to stop my body from slumping to the floor. I made the right decision. I keep telling myself.What Scott did cannot be forgiven. He has to learn his lesson. I can't keep pampering him and making him feel that everything is alright.

David was of much help to Rose as he moved round the cafe in a cute red apron. He looked like an original server. Someone born to be in a cafe but we all know he's an English master not a barrister."When do you start work?" Rose asks me.I set the empty tray I was holding in my hand, down so I could seat too. My feet was aching from moving about. I wonder how David is still doing it."After the Christmas break" I say and Rose squint."Isn't after Christmas your next semester?""Yeah but there's a two weeks break so in that period, I'm a teacher to young kids" I shrug with a laugh."Thankfully, no more Scott to crash it" Rose chuckled and I'm mute."Yeah"Rose shakes her head for some minutes. "I can't believe it. You both are done! It's unreal because I've heard you say that like three- two times" She swings her hand in the air as she tal

On reaching my car, I shut the door, enclosing myself in the little space and there I felt my insides tearing apart. He's willing to make this right but that does not guarantee that he wouldn't make another mistake and fuck us up again. I place my hand on the wheel, relaxing my head against the head of my chair and allowed myself to cry.I need this break away from him to think right. I need to know that I can actually do without Scott. I need to feel like my life isn't dependent on him now. We need this space. Why are you calling it space? I thought you both were over! The shrill of my phone echoing through the car made me pick it up, staring at the screen. David's name flash on it so I swipe."Hey! Not done yet? I was getting worried about you" David rants on the phone."Were you scared I had ran myself into a truck?" I chuckle and hear him sigh out."Probably, but I was worri

We were both quiet, staring at each other until I decided to break the silence."Hi" was the dumb thing I said and he chuckled."Good day Mrs Banks" He greeted my mom first without replying my awkward attempt at a talk. Mom took the discussion up looking so cheerful to see him."I heard you got into college" Nolan finally says to me with a smile."Really, Nolan? That was like over a year ago."He shrug. "Just prompting up" He replied with a grin."I'll go pick some more hot sauce" Mom said excusing herself and I'm left to wander where she'd get that cause we're in a clothe shop. Super mom."My mom told me you were back. I've wanted to come visit but I wasn't sure you wanted to see me" Nolan confess."Good thinking". I wasn't even in the mood to see anyone anyway. It's better we met like this than for him to come into my house and see me looking shabby and sorrowful."You look great. New York really is a nice place for you""Is it?"If only he knows the things I've gone through under th

Scott POVMy life has fallen back into a constant map of drinking, sleeping and eating. Even though I and Stormy has separated some few times, this time doesn't feel like last times. It feels surreal. Like she's never coming back to me. I'm not sure what I can do to get her back. I could try but it'd only be a waste of time. I could see the hurt and pain in her eyes as she left from here the other day my therapist was around.That last look broke me. I shouldn't have looked at her. It told so much and it cast a whole lot of guilt on my shoulders. Guilt, pain, fuck! Everything hurtful. I tried to call her but her voice would echo in my head."Don't crowd me I need space" it stopped me every single time from calling her. I can understand the fact that she needs some time to think but I'm afraid she'd finally realise I'm not good for her and she's wasted her time on me.I'm

My mom threw her arms around my neck kissing all over my face so I pulled her away, with a grunt and a frown."What's wrong with all of you?""You almost never come home so don't complain" Val giggled. I notice her following me up to my room and I thought she'd leave once I enter but she followed me, shutting the door."Have you heard from Storm?" She questions. Of course that's who she wants to talk about. I drop my bag on the bed and sat down, taking my boots off."No""Really?""Yeah"She rolled her eyes clearly frustrated with my short answers."What happened. Tell me" She came to seat by me on the bed and I would've shooed her away because I can, but I really need someone to talk to. Maybe Val could help me."She found out about Anna" I state and Val covers her mouth with her palm. "David and Anna are both her frie

Her phone doesn't ring at first but I try again. She doesn't pick. Is this she avoiding me or something is wrong. I grab my car keys from my drawer, walking out of my room. Val is following me, with questions written all over her face. Ones I'm not willing to answer right now."Are you driving back to New York right now?" Val yelled from behind me. I swirl around just so I could unlock my car and throw my bag in, but Val was standing in front of me already."Move" I demand and she doesn't, just stood firm."This is no longer about dad is it?" She questions. What does it even matter? I walk pass her and slide my door opened, slipping in. "Scott, answer me"I bang my door shut, driving away from the lot immediately before Val could even think of getting into the car. She's done it before, and she would do it again.As I drive with my phone in hand, I keep tapping it against the steering whee

I grab Scott by his coat, pulling him into the room I was admitted in. There, we can have some privacy."What are you doing here?""I came because I...I miss you" he mutter but it doesn't last, his voice raising again. "We've only been apart for roughly a week and you're already with your ex?""His name is Nolan""I don't give three fucks about what he's called. Why is he even here?"I stare at the door hoping no one comes in right now. "He's the one that brought me to the hospital""Because he got you drunk!" Scott snapped. "What if he took advantage of you"I appreciate him trying to look out for me, but I've known Nolan almost all my whole life and he wouldn't do such a thing to me. I got drunk on my own, it was my mistake but right now, Scott was looking at me as if he would rush out and strangle Nolan any minute. I held into his jacket, tight.

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
