Anger and hurt spoken without words are much painful to witness. ~ A. Gupta.VIOLET“Cole, please!” I made a mistake and now I didn't know what to do. Stupid, stupid, Violet. I looked around myself and realised for the first time how remote it was back here, there was no one to be seen and because of it even the door to the club looked too far away. I looked at Cole who had Kevin pinned against the car and contemplated if I had enough time to go back inside and bring Kevin’s friends because Cole looked unhinged the way he held Kevin by the neck, I was afraid he’d strangle him.I decided to try one more time to reason with the enraged beast. “Cole, stop it. Please...” I grabbed his arm but he shrugged me off like I was a pesky fly. “Damn it, it was my fault. Leave him alone!” I winced as he punched Kevin, slowly worry was setting in as I saw the trickle of blood from Kevin’s nose and how he started to fight back. “No. No. No. Please, you both need to stop.” I screamed when Kevin sl
Including someone in your prayers is a truest form of love. ~ A. GuptaVIOLETSOMETHING is wrong. I know it. I could feel it in my bones but I have no one to ask. My worry had become so crippling that I couldn't even talk to Mom when she tried to comfort me. All I needed was Cole, to see him with my own eyes and determine that he was alright. To ask for his forgiveness and to let him punish me if that’s what he wanted. I just wanted him to be okay, to be by my side even if he hated me for what I did. As the time passed, my worry only accelerated and I started to lose my own self as I could hear the tik of the clock in the silence. Mom and Dad had gone with Alex, and neither of them thought to tell me what was happening but I saw how Mom’s face had paled and her eyes had glittered with unshed tears. Whatever it was, it was bad. And I knew it was about Cole. I knew. But they wouldn't tell me. It hurt to be in the dark even though I understood that they were trying to protect me but I d
The worst feeling in the world is being hurt by someone you love. But what is more frustrating is when you try to hate them and realise you are incapable of even doing that. ~ A. Gupta.COLEIt took me more than a few tries to open my eyes and look around myself to understand where I was and why the fuck it felt like my body had suffered a running truck. But just as the white walls and antiseptic smell of the hospital room registered, my mind helpfully reminded me that indeed I had suffered through a running truck. Fûck.I remembered vividly how I had been racing down the empty streets when out of nowhere a truck had came out and collided with the side of my car. Even when I had tried to take control of my car, it had kept going like the man was taking out some personal vendetta against me. If it had happened anywhere but Willow Creek, I’d have definitely chalked it up to someone trying to rile my uncle up in Italy, but I didn’t think it was the case. Because for one, I was definite
My heart belongs to you, the way I belong to you. Only, I wish you belonged to me too. ~ A. Gupta.VIOLET“Cole.” His name came out on a whisper like a prayer. My breath hitched and my lungs stopped working at the sight of him as I took in the bandages covering his head, arm and upper chest, the wires and tubes going around his body. “Tell her that I forgive her.” Brenna had passed his message to me, and I couldn’t think about anything else but that. I had been clinging to those words since they told me about his accident and then kept me away from him regardless of how much I pleaded to let me see him. And every time I thought about those words, it only brought fresh tears to my eyes. Even when he was in a hospital bed in so much pain, he was thinking about me. Me, who had hurt him.But now as I looked at him, his dark eyes devoid of any emotions told me the truth. He hadn’t really forgiven me. I swallowed as I took a step toward him where he laid in a hospital bed, looking like he
I want you and I want to be everything you want. ~ A. Gupta.COLEIf I thought hurting her would make me feel better and the pain in my chest would ease, I was wrong. It hurt like hell to watch her blue eyes fill with tears and that beautiful face pale as she turned around and walked away from me. My heart raced in my chest as the door shut behind her, leaving me in haunting silence with nothing but pain as a companion. And it wasn’t just physical pain that made it impossible to breathe. For some reason it felt like if I let her go this time, I won’t be able to get her back again. And it fûcking terrified me. In that instant, my hurt and rage transformed into a desperate need to go after her, mingling with a sense of self-loathing for allowing myself to succumb to my need to hurt her back. I wished I could take back my words or go back to ten minutes prior and stop myself from uttering bullshit lies like the one where I told her that I hated her. Like I could ever hate her.My bre
Forgiveness comes at a price. Who’s going to pay? ~ A. Gupta.VIOLETI Clutched his hand between mine, unable to let go as the weight of everything that transpired between us fell upon me and I felt too exhausted to do anything else but just marvel at the fact that he was alive. I didn’t want to think about anything else, he was here and he was mine, and everything else could wait. “If you don’t stop crying I’ll think you’re not happy to see me alive.” Cole said, wiping my tears with his other hand that had the IV jostling and making him wince with discomfort.I shook my head and placed his hand back on his stomach. “Don’t move.”“Don’t cry.” “They are tears of relief, Cole. I was so scared and I was also afraid that you won’t ever forgive me.” I replied, looking down at our joined hands, ashamed of what I did even though he had forgiven me. “I am really sorry for that.”“It’s impossible not to forgive you, princess. How will I live with myself?” More tears escaped with sobs that
How do I tell her that she's the only thing I hunger for and if I didn't get her, I might really die this time. ~ A. GuptaCOLEIF someone asked me what does heaven and hell wrapped up in one feels like, I’d say this was it. It was being in her bed, surrounded by her things and her presence, her scent and everything that she was but not being able to do anything about it.It has been a week since I got discharged from the hospital and to my surprise Alex dropped me off at Violet’s studio. And every day since then I had been living in a hell of her making and heaven because she was in it with me. Each day I was subjected to her smothering care and as if she wasn’t enough Mrs Carter dropped by unexpected and then decided to look after me herself. But I was quite happy that she did because with her she brought food— food, that was actually edible, unlike whatever unhealthy shit Violet cooks. But I won’t ever say that to her even if my cholesterol level dips or suddenly I start to have an
All I desire is a life lived with you. ~ A. Gupta.VIOLETNO one told me that an unfulfilled desire can make you go crazy. Why am I saying that? Because I think I was turning into one.The smallest of things were making me angry and the barest of touches from him were making me mad with the way I hungered for him. All I wanted was to grab a fistful of his dark hair and lose myself in those sherry eyes and have all those fantasies that were keeping me awake at night come true. To finally have what I couldn’t for the last two years and for the days that I spent in my captivity.Even though I had overcome that part of my life, almost come out from the darkness, sometimes they still try to drag me back. Sometimes, I feel if I didn’t constantly fight back once again I’ll get trapped in that nightmare. But whenever I felt like it was getting too hard, l had found solace in him, the man Daisy likes to call as my protective bear. But he’s more like a hero to me. Always there, somehow underst
