2024-10-29 19:42:56Scott is tailing behind me all the time I walk to the bar. On reaching there, my eyes zero on all the drinks that's there and I cringe I don't drink and the only times I did is when I had to out if necessity. Scott comes to stand bedside me, his hands going round my waist and I lean into him.
"I'll pass with the drinks" I stare up at him and he raises a brow.
"Who were you kidding? I knew you won't try drinking" Scott says as if he knows me so well, but then again, maybe he does. Even more than I know myself.
"Water?" I ask him and he nods walking me away from the bar. We step out for he porch and I shrug when I see people in the pool. For godsake! It's freaking December.
"You wanna swim?" Scott asks me with raised brow and an amused smile and I shake my head. "So why the deep stare?"
"It's just... it's freaking December and these people are in a pool. It's so cold" I complain and Scott ru

Scott hands dance with mine as we watch the rest of the group have a fun time. It was supposed to be a fun time but I don't want anything that would trigger Scott so I decided to sit cool, and also watch Nolan from the side of my eyes. He's also sitting calm and observing the group but they involve him in some fun once in a while.Twice, our eyes met and he winked at me and I smiled back. Scott didn't notice that but the more I'm sitting here with him, the more I feel I should tell him not to determine the friends I have. He can be possessive but there's got to be a limit."Are you having fun?" Scott whispers In my ear and I shake my head."Do you want to leave here?" He asked and I stare up at him. "Maybe the Jacuzzi" he says with a smirk and wink, making my cheeks ruddy."I told you I'm not a fan of water and God!...in public?" I huff because I'm down right shy. His arms run up and down my arm.

Beep! Beep! Beep! I wake up to the ready beating of a heart rate monitor. My eyes flutter open and I have to shut I again, sk I don't get blinded by the brightness of the place. My hands come up to touch my head where there is something tied there. A clothe is wrapped round my head."She's up!" I hear someone say beside me, then there's like five heads hovering above me. Two are nurses the other three. My mom, Elle, and David.I struggle to get up but I'm pushed back down in the bed by my shoulder."You have to stay down, Stormy, you were hurt badly" one of the nurses said and I comply, resting my head back down against the hard pillow."Mom" I croaked and she brought me a glass of water, I gulp it down in a rush, asking for me and she just kept producing it. When I'm refilled and felt like I had little bit of strength, I sat upright, my eyes moving round."What

I'm released from the hospital today, but I don't go home. I head straight for the ICU, to see Scott. It's been three weeks since he's been out. It's also been three weeks, since I've been under care. The nurse is there, smiling at me when she seems at the door. She's grown used to me coming in everyday."We're just done checking him" she says before she and her team of fellow nurses walk out of the room. I stroll in, even as he's down, he still looks so handsome, the bandage round his head was gone now, the cuts on his face are fading away and he's getting his skin back. His health on the other hand, not so sure about that. The nurses haven't said anything.I take the chair next to the bed and hold his hand. "I'm here again" I start. "I was a discharges today and now I can go home. My prayer had always been for us to leave here together but you're still here and now I'm let out" my voice comes out as a whisper."It's gett

"You can chose to mash it up or leave it like that" Elle told me before walking out of the kitchen. I stare at the bowl of strawberries sitting on the counter and choose to mash it, so I pull it closer and get to work.Carter walks into the kitchen, his briefcase in hand and a glass of fresh milk for his pregnant wife. He's been insisting she took milk all the time."Where's Elle?" He questions"Stepped out for a bit. I bet she's at the greenhouse" I say with a small smile. Their level of love for each other is adoring and I admire it."Stormy, you look well today. How's it going?""Good. Really good""Why are you at home though. David left for school hours ago" he places his briefcase on the counter, leaning on it to stare at me."Um... I'll be leaving soon. Just wanted to help with the berries"Elle comes back in and she has a supr

Rose kept jumping around me in the mall, so eager to see my tattoo. I told her only when we get back to her place but she's insisting I shoe her in the bathroom, and no way in hell, I'm taking my top off in the bathroom of a crowdy mall."I'm not doing that, Rose" I tell her again and she bite her cheek, looking away after she rolls her eyes. Hailee attempt to walk ahead but she pulls her bag, by her hoodie, keeping her in place."Have you gone to see him today?" She asked and I throw a carton of milk into the cart."No. But I plan too, after now" I say, staring down at my shoes, they seems to look faded. Funny how I'd never noticed that before."Acting like you don't care about him won't dull the pain, Stormy" She surprise me by saying and I gasp, placing my hand in my chest."Who said I don't care about him? I think about him Evey single fucking day" I huff and she nods with sympat

I park my car in a not so arranged manner before getting down and running toward the tall building. My heart keeps skipping, keeps beating like I'm running a marathon. But you're running. I get to the door of Scott's room and it's pulled opened before I can even open it.Val smiles at me, pulling me in, I step in after giving her a hug, and then turn to the bed, where Scott is seated. His skin looks vibrant and we'll like he's not even been in coma for years. His eyes? I haven't seen them because he hasn't looked at me. The doctors are working on him, tearing him out."It's a miracle" she chimed beside me. "He moved twice last night but tonight, he woke up" Val filled me in. I'm too overwhelmed that I can't even speak. "The nurses on duty, and also Elle who was here with last night said the times he moved, he was whispering some things""What?" I turn to stare at her."Your name"

"Really Kim?" Kale scoffs at her, his hands clenched and she shrugs. "How can you do that when you know she's here" he's talking about me. I get up from my sit, grabbed my now empty containers of Bagels and step out of the room. "Get out!" I hear Kale say to her....It's been a week since I went to that hospital to see Scott and I don't think I'm planning on going there. Not she I keep feeling Kim might be there with him. He kissed herz and that image is just in my head. I've tried brushing it off, saying he's not in his right mind but I just can't.There's a gentle knock on my door and I stand up to get it. David is there, on the other side."Hey" he smiles before walking in."Hi" I shut the door."I was just about going to the hospital, wanna come?" He dips his hand in his pocket, rocking his heels back and forth. I shake my head. "Why?""I can't" my vo

Scott is asleep, with his hands over his eyes when I step into his room. It's bright now, and there are some flowers arranged by the corner of the bed. I'm pretty sure Scott wasn't super happy about them, and I can only see him grumbling, and making that annoyed face when the bathroom door opens and Kim steps out.She looks her usual self, in skanky clothes, only she'd dyed a part of her hair pink. Her eyes widen when she sees me, and I'm sure my expression mirrors hers. My hands clutch the Knishes in my hand tight. Why does she have to be here right now?"Hello Stormy" She gives off a creepy smile before sitting on the bed next to Scott, and running her hands through his hair. I gulp, my eyes twitching. My next motive was to pull her hair, but I can't be violent right now. It might just make Scott think I'm lunatic."I brought some Knishes for him" I say and she grimaces."He dosen't like Knishes

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
