"Well isn't it good to see you in a red shirt" David laughs at Scott when he comes in through the door. I turn my face the other way, trying to hide my smile. I made him wear that because I wanted him in a holiday spirit. Scott easily flips David off.
"Oh Storm darling" Elle greeted me with a warm hug. "It seems like months since I saw you at Thanksgiving" She winked at me.
"I made lots of cookies" I prompt to everyone including Scott's parents. Val sends me a kiss before dipping her hand in a green sock and pulling out lots of candies. I invited Rose and Hailey too and they're here. It's all so amazing.
"Seems like Val is all over the place already" Elle giggles. I move on from her to say hi to Grace. She sends me a warm smile before pulling me in for a hug. In the process, I glance at Scott's dad and he grins at me before walking to Carter and the two men banter about whatever they were talking about.
"So you've literally never played basketball before" I hum following Scott round the store as he pushes the trolley. I take it upon me to fill the trolley up."I've never needed it to" he shrugs and stop when I pause to carry a jar of Mayonnaise from the shelve. We'll need this for making New Years dishes and salads."Wait! Tell me how your highschool days were like?" I ask. We've never really talked about this stuffs but everyday, I leaned new things about Scott. He's like an atlas full of wonders. I can't get enough of knowing him. Each time I think I do, he surprises me."Nothing much. Went to school, failed my tests lots of times, fooled around and got lots of tattooes"I smile, trailing my finger up the rose on his arm. "I love them""What?""You're tattoos. It's like who you are, poured out in ink" I giggle. We move on through the store again, Scott had a really char
"I wish I could be here for New Year too" Mom puckers her lower lip at me and I smile before hugging her. She's going back to Canada today and it's bee one hell of a time with her. She gor to meet my friends and new family."We could always video chat whenever""Yeah, it's not the same." Mom rolls her eyes. Her bag is wheeled out of the back of the car by Scott. Since this morning, he's been quiet and I couldn't come up with a reason he's like that. "Give me a hug too would you?" Mom asks Scott.He looks uncomfortable but still goes to hug her I stiffle a smile. She looks so small in his arms because of his height and it has me knowing that's how I look like toi when we hug in public."Take care of yourself...and her" Mom tells Scott."I will" Scott promises before handing me her her luggage."Whoops! Look at the time, I've got to get running before I loose my flight
"Dad?""Baby girl... it's so good to hear your voice" My dad says. My heart fluttered with him calling me his baby. I've known that nick name since I was a little girl."Daddy...". My voice cracks. "You called me""Of course"I move uncomfortably on my chair, keeping my fingers crossed. He's got to have a reason for calling me."I miss you Stormy... it's been years""Yet you didn't call all those years" I didn't mean for my voice to sound judgemental but it does and I'm pleased with myself."I'm sorry Stormy...but I did call" His voice was low and full of regrets, I hope.
I skipped yoga because I wasn't feeling too well. But as I was leaving my English department, I spotted Anna walking toward me. She grins as she grips my hand, holding me and we both walked out together."I'm so happy to be hanging out with you again" she says."It is. How about you and me hang out at Perry Cafe. I'm sure Rose would like to see you again" I chime and she nods her head"I'd love that. " She leans her head on my shoulder " When are you starting the teaching with those little kids?""Soon. I still need to talk to Prod Astor and I'll do that tomorrow"Now, I might but be overthinking this whole reaching thing. It's just going to be foe two weeks in the highest but it might be stressful on my part because of my classes.We both walk toward my car, and I smiled to see Scott waiting there. His hands on the car and the other one in his pocket. He's staring somewhe
I rush to David the instant I see him step out of his car. He'd changed it to a really nice convertible and he looks different in a coat and not pullovers. I almost didn't recognise my best friend as I throw my arms round his neck."God! You've added up!" Was the first thing he said and I chuckled pulling away."Maybe, maybe not..but you sure do look good" I compliment with a grin."Well, I wore this once before and someone complimented me, so I decided to wear it again...maybe more often now""A girl told you that right?" I tease him and his eyes flash before he looks up, raising his glasses above his nose. Oh my gosh! He's anxious."Where's Scott?" He asks, completely changing the subject and I smirk. It has me wondering who told him that. Was it Rose?...grunt! Nah!"Stormy..."I blink until I remember his question, then my eyes dulled. It just
I'm nervous as hell as I walk up the steps to the little kindergarten home I'd be teaching the children in. I hope I'm dressed professionally in a grey skirt, white blouse and black toms. Although, Scott he mocked me in the skirt, I flipped him off saying I was good looking.The glass door opened and a plump lady comes out, a little child in her hand. She smiles at me and I smile right back at her before taking the already opened door from her and sliding into the building.The place is followed with lovely colors, cardboards cut into shapes if tiny things, lots bricks scattered around. Prof Astor approaches me from a nearby door and I allowed my eyes to slide down his outfit of pale blue jeans, white shirt and sneakers.He looks....cute."Good day Mr Astor" I smile up at him and he takes my hand shaking it."Please call me Jacob out here. Last time I checked, I'm just four years old
I roll my sleeves up, helping Cherry to color a pencil she drew. It looked like a banana of some sought but she was pretty good for her age. It's my second week reaching here and it's been a really fun experience for me. I dropped the color and clapped my hands for her, a wide grin took over her face, then her eyes dart to the door and they go wide.Turning around, I see Scott standing at the door, his hands his in his long jacket, his dark rugged jeans right on his legs, and his boot as always was chelsea. He looked sinfully handsome just standing there and he didn't even have to try.Aside from his sinful looks, he has a horrified expression on his face. When I smile at him, he strolled I'm, walking to stand behind me."They're not going to bite, you know" I say and as if on cue, all the kids turned to stare at Scott who cleared his throat."Hello" he says to them and they all chant a hello too. Little C

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
