If it’s both ways, it’s not crazy madness. It’s a love language. ~A. Gupta

I sat in my bed and looked down at him. Like the other night, he looked beautiful as he slept. For me, I could not sleep. I was restless and even though my eyes were tired and my body needed sleep, I couldn’t seem to fall asleep.
And it made me wonder if one could be addicted to touch. Specifically his.
I sighed.
When he had entered my room, I had pretended to be asleep as I didn’t want to look at him and see his expression for what I had done. I had gone to Brandon’s room and

I stood up and did it for her, it was getting difficult for her to move around even a little with her pregnancy at its final stage. “You have been awfully quiet.”I rolled my eyes at her. ‘I am always quiet.’She made a face at me and said, “I meant you haven’t even talked to my son. I’m sure he misses his auntie Vi.” I looked up at her in surprise. She gave me a soft smile and said, “Everyone of

My nightmares bleed through my fingers on the white canvas, but sometimes a dream sneaks in between. ~A.GuptaViolet“I don't know how you do it,” I turned toward the familiar voice. Daisy said, “You are seriously so talented, Violet. I still can't draw a perfect arc without erasing it a few times.”‘Thankyou,' I smiled up at her. Daisy had been my friend since I joined the community classes. She was five four, and has black eyes with dark hair framing her face. And she was sweet. She always had something good to say to me. Unlike most people who treated me like I was disabled and shouldn’t be here learning art just because I couldn't speak— they think that I was a p

Normal is the wrong word often used for average.~ Henry S. HaskinsColeI waited outside the building where her art classes were held. My t-shirt was inside out in the rush that had commenced back at the house after Bree’s water broke and I drove her and Mad to the hospital.Even though everyone was there in the hospital, giving their support to the would be parents and I had personally asked the doctor who had assured me that everything was looking right and that both mother and child would be fine, I was still a little stressed out with my mind on my best friend and because of my own past.Two days ago Bree felt an excruciating pain in her lower abdomen that Mad had to take her to th

In the house of trust, love is born. ~ A. Gupta Violet My leg throbbed from where Tara had intentionally knocked the can of blue paint that was on my table. In retaliation Daisy had squirted all of her tube colors on Tara’s head, making her hair look like a rainbow. The shriek that had followed was still echoing in my ears and not to forget the evil look Tara had given me before she had stormed off, saying, “Watch your back, bitches.” “We are going home for you to change and then we will go to the hospital.” His words pulled me to the present with a jerk. The word hospital was like cold water on my body as two days ago Mad had taken Bree to the hospital because she had been in so much pain. And it had made m

Mrs Carter sat with Mr Carter, his arm was protectively wrapped around her which reminded me of how Cole had helped me just now.My fingers were tightly knotted around each other as I sat there with Kiara on my one side and Cole on the other. The other two elder Carter brothers were on their way to be here to meet the new addition to the Carter family. Ever

It’s heart-breaking when something you lost is found by someone else. But being happy for them is what makes you worthy for the happiness you deserve. ~ A. Gupta(I was confused which one to write, so added both)It’s heart-breakingly beautiful to carry the loss in your heart and still be genuinely happy for others blessings, knowing you could never have what they have. ~ A. GuptaColeI pushed the glass door and stormed out of the hospital. I walked without any destination, wanting to escape the clawing tentacles of the past and the piercing screams that had tormented me for so long.I closed my eyes only to let out a loud groan and curse as my eyes burned and everything started to blur. Watching Bree in that hospital bed took me two

Knowing what you want and having to step forward to grab it are two different things. It needed courage that I seemed to lack no matter how hard I try.~ A. GuptaViolet“Then, you shouldn’t have walked out of there like this, Cole.” The words scratched at my throat as I said them.I closed my eyes for a moment, savoring his name on my lips. I had said it hundreds of times in my mind but for the first time I voiced it and in front of him no less. It felt intimate to me for some reason and when I opened my eyes and saw him staring back at me with those dark brown eyes I knew he noticed it too. His face was in the shadows as he sat on the divider in the parking lot behind the hospital. He looked dark and severe, but I wasn’t afraid of hi

In the dark loneliness I let my pieces fall apart without anyone to see them. And then I scream out my pain to break the silence around me.~ A. GuptaVioletI knocked on the door and a moment later Bree answered, “Come in.”When I opened her bedroom door and entered, I found her looking at the painting I gifted her a day before. It had been three days since she gave birth to Ivan and two days since Cole up and left without saying a word to anyone.I had slept while looking at him and when I woke up the next day he wasn’t there. He wasn’t anywhere. Maddox had said that he was fine but didn’t tell me where he was and why he left, not that I asked. Unlike me no one was bothered with it, it seemed like this— Cole’s sudden absence— was normal.When Bree saw that it was me, she gave me a wide smile. She said, “Kiara took Ivan. They are in Dom’s room.”I shrug

Eight hours later...I held the most beautiful boy I had ever seen in my arms. He was so small. So fragile. And so trusting of the arms that held him. “We decided that you should name him.” Bree said as Mad sat beside her, his arm protectively curled around her shoulders.I blinked at them, my eyes filling with tears that I hated anew. It seemed that day, eighteen months ago a dam broke and it didn’t stop. I looked at Mom and Dad, who gave me encouraging nods. Turning back to Mad, I asked, “You don’t mind?”He looked at me like I was mad. “Are you crazy? Why would I mind? He is your nephew, and we want you to name him.” His blue eyes softened as he said, “We want you to be an important part in our sons’ lives.”I looked around the room as my mind felt overwhelmed. My eyes fell on Dominic who had fallen asleep in the past hour and then on Alex who winked at me. Brandon had slipped out shortly after the little boy was born and the doctors declared that both the mother and son were fine.

PrologueEighteen months later...Violet‘You should stay for dinner with us.’ Hailey signed as I picked up my purse when I saw it was already six in the evening.I ruffled her hair and signed back, ‘Maybe some other day.’She narrowed her eyes at me, because as sweet as she was, she was also smart. She recognised my words for what it was. Excuses. ‘You always say that.’“Stop pestering her, munchkin.”We both turned to look at Kevin, who entered the house in dark blue jeans and white polo shirt. He was like a typical father figure we watch in daily soaps and even though he was gentle and always respects the boundaries I have set for our friendship, I couldn't make myself feel what I once felt for the man that should not be named. I liked him enough but not as much as he liked me. Maybe I should try harder, if I shouldn’t hold onto my dark past then I shouldn’t hold on to those feelings as they were in the past too.Coming toward us, he bent down and greeted his daughter with a hug an

Two months later...ColeI slid the aviators up my nose, they have become a necessity considering I was unable to sleep without drinking myself into stupor nowadays. I picked up my phone from the centre console and dialled the number that I had been dialling compulsively since the last two months like an alcoholic searching for one last beer can in the kitchen.“Did you find him?”“No. There’s no sign of the boy you gave us a picture of.”I gritted my teeth, my hand going to the back of my neck as tension gathered in my shoulders. “You all are incompetent fucking arseholes. You can’t find a teenage boy, what can you even do?” I growled into the phone.“Mr Bianchi, we are trying our best. We checked the city surveillance, there’s no sign of that boy.” The P.

Two weeks later...ColeI sat in the darkness that was only punctured by a low fluorescent lamp on the other side of the sofa on which I was sitting. The heavy silence surrounding me felt suffocating, the kind where every breath stabs in the lungs. And as I struggled to breathe, the world around me seemed to be peacefully sleeping. Along with the woman on the hospital bed.I wrenched my gaze from her sleeping form and looked up at the ceiling. I was on the eighth floor of the hospital that was considered to be the best and yet they couldn’t wake her up. Like the rest of the world she was sleeping too, but unlike the rest of the world she has been sleeping for a long time now. Coma. The first letter word with a power that put the one person’s life on hold, affected others who were close to them, while the whole world around moves at their regular pace like nothing happened.She hasn’t woken up since the last time I left her— six years ago, except she did fifteen days ago and as fate ha

We belong together, And you know that I am right,Why do you play with my heart? Why do you play with my mind?Said we’d be forever, Said it’d never die,How could you love me and leave me and never,Say goodbye? ~End of the road, Boyz II MenColeI looked down at her beautiful face as a single tear rolled down my face, sitting this close to her I already felt the pain of being separated. She looked so peaceful while sleeping like a fallen angel, a princess broken by the monsters of our real world. Her pretty face was still flushed pink from our earlier activities. After the way we had made love, the intensity of it hadn’t vanished before we were attacking each other once again like hungry animals. Every part of my body, every cell in my body had wished to gorge on her. It felt like it was my last meal before a life sentence. And I wanted to have every last morsel I could.And now as I sat beside her, fully clothed, my whole body trembled and I didn't think I’d ever be able to overcom

I didn’t know how that could be possible but it was and if all I could ever have of him was this connection between us then it’ll be what I’ll have.I slipped my fingers into his hair and his hands slipped around my waist, pulling me into him. Our bodies pressed into each other like they were glued or we were born to fit like this. Two pieces of the same puzzle. He picked me up and I wrapped my arms and legs around him like I had done millions of times before or like it was just an act I remembered from my past life. His sherry eyes were dark with emotions that I knew mirrored in mine, so many unspoken words remained between us but all our lips could do was kiss each other and we hoped the other person understood the un
