Albert “Max? Is that really you?” I asked, dumbfounded, as I approached him. It was hard to believe something like that, it had only been a few weeks since I had last seen him and now here he was, all changed. That was unbelievable. “Actually, I thought you were going to call me Deborah,” he said
***** Melanie “This party really is delicious, God has such good meat that it makes your mouth water,” I commented while I and the others were praising the party. My husband had just left when he went to answer his cell phone, but he was taking a while. It wasn't that I was a woman who always w
Melanie My husband and I left that parking lot hand in hand. At a certain point, I turned to see if Max was still there, he was looking at us with a disappointed face. I didn't know what was in his head. He thought I was going to put on a cheap show because I saw him kissing my husband. He thought
Annie There was something about wedding parties that I loved, so see her because of the girls' day that my mom gave for me and her whenever we had these important moments to go, so she and I spent every day getting ready doing our hair, our nails, our makeup, putting on a dress and shoes that said
So, I was very shocked and intrigued by that boy. Why the hell was he talking like that? Did he not like Uncle Jake? Whoever in its consciousness wouldn't like Jake, since he was the coolest person in the world? And if he were still single one day and if I were of legal age, I would ask him to marry
6 years later Laura When I woke up that morning, it was still very early. Jason was sleeping peacefully next to me, and I smiled at the sight. I gave him a calm kiss on the forehead, and then I intended to sneak out of bed without waking him, but he held my arm even though his eyes were still clos
Laura As soon as I left Stephen's room, I went to Daniel's room, which was right in front of the other boy's room that I had just left. Unlike Stephen, Danny was still sleeping, and he always slept with the door open, so it was easy for me to go in there and go to his bed so he could wake up. “Ti
Laura “Mommy, can I tell you something?” She asked after a while. I lifted my head to look at her face. “Of course you can, my angel,” I said, and my brow automatically furrowed. “Is something wrong going on?” It was my concern as a mother speaking louder. She giggled. "No, no. It's okay, relax
Annie When I woke up, the first thing I noticed was the feeling of lying in my bed. I was back home, safe, and just knowing that made me want to cry with happiness. I hugged my pillow and inhaled that smell of my comfort that felt so good to me; I just couldn't believe that I had actually decided t
“I really wish I didn't care, just like you don't care,” I said. “Are my grades at school terrible? Fuck them; I don't care. Who cares about social life or social issues? I want everyone to explode. I'm going to continue here in my room playing my shooting and death games until I feel accomplished.
Jake Gardner “Please tell me. Is he really out of danger?” My wife asked on the other end of the line. “Yes, he is,” I replied. “The bullet hit his shoulder. He’s going to be fine.” I heard her sighing on the other end of the line. "Thank God. I'm going to call Amber to let her know; she's so wo
Annie It was my parents there trying to get closer to me. My heart almost came out of my mouth, and I almost melted with relief and also anguish. “Dad… Mom,” I stammered, my eyes filling with tears. But Peter was quick; he put his arm around my shoulder, pulling me to his chest, and placed the bar
Laura Jason was driving the car while talking to me about something random. “Terry is coming home this Christmas,” he was saying. “He has done an incredible job at the Pretoria branch, but he misses his family.” It had been a few months since Terence had moved to South Africa for work; he was one
Warning: sensitive content Annie “Are you ready?” Peter asked me as he and I were about to storm the Mexican diner down the street. He and I had spent hours talking about it, and no matter how much I told him not to do that and go back home, he said he would only come back after I granted him that
Laura I woke up with a start when I woke up, suddenly remembering where I was and what I was doing. “Wake up, Jason…” I called him, while running my hand over my face. He was sleeping next to me and woke up too. “Hmm, what's wrong? Did something happen?” He asked, looking at me with a sleepy fa
Annie “I thought you were the only one who understood me. So now you can’t blame me for being attracted to the monster that I am.” Peter's words weighed on me. When I found out about his secret, it was as if the world around me woke up in its most naked and raw colors; it was as if I now realized
Annie “I can't believe it; it's not true. Peter would tell me something like that if it were true,” I said in denial, my voice breaking. The surrounding town took its course as I stood there at the payphone with the phone to my ear. Peter's psychologist had just told me something that was shaking a
