Eighty: Josh

I’ve done a lot of unforgivable things in my life, but I have decided to commit the most sinful act today. I chose to die in front of her because I wanted her face to be the last thing my eyes could ever witness before I’m taken to hell. There’s no way somebody like me would go to heaven. My sins outweigh my good deeds, so hell is my eternal destiny, but before going there I made up my mind that I want to steal a little bit of heaven. 

In that terrible state, I have driven and I am not sure how I have made it here, but here I am, in front of her apartment building. I can barely see. I have taken drugs, I have alcohol in my system and I have even swallowed some pills. I’m tired of living. I&rsquo

  • Inevitably Captivated   Epilogue

    In our lives, we make decisions that may, later on, be thought of as nothing but mistakes. They may be considered our biggest regrets, what we wish to erase from our memories. They may be our main source of disappointment, the thing that pains us once it crosses our minds. Some may think allowing Josh into my life is one of the decisions I certainly regret, but this isn't the truth. I would never regret a single moment I spent with Josh because even if he brought me pain at some point, I can never deny the joy he brought me. I can never deny the happy moments we spent together. I can never forget all that he taught me.

    It’s funny how one small thing can change your whole life and turn it upside down. As for me, what changed my life was nowhere near small. Dating Josh changed me a lot. It changed the way I now see life and how I deal with people. It’s been ten years since I last saw Josh— well, face to face. I have seen him on TV and the news. I can’t be any prouder of him. Yes, we haven’t been in touch, but I know that he has come so far. He is now in charge of Dahlberg’s enterprise, and he has achieved nothing but success. He has also founded a charity foundation for helping addicts. He has been open about his addiction and how it has affected his life. I love how he is not ashamed of his past and how open he is about his journey with drugs. He has been clean for nine years and every time I hear him talking about it on a tv show or in an interview, my heart swells with pride and love. Yes, I still love Josh. Romantically. I dated only one person after him and w

  • Inevitably Captivated   Prologue

    I think we can all agree that life is unexpected. Everything can change in the blink of an eye and matters can slip out of your hands faster than you can imagine; it may be faster than how your mind can process what has happened. Pretty worrying, huh? But it can also be exciting. You never know.

    College started last Monday and I’m lucky to have Lisa as my roommate. She was my roommate last year and we became best friends on the first week of freshman year, so it was fun to spend the whole year with somebody I actually like. By the end of the second semester we were given reports to rate one another- a typical procedure the college dormitory administration holds here- and we both wrote that we’d like to be paired with one another again for sophomore year and here we are!

    “Welcome to my humble place, Taleen.” He gives me a welcoming smile, stepping aside for us to enter. “It’s my first time to see you around, are you a new friend of Lisa’s?” he wonders as he walks with us to probably the backyard. “No, you just haven’t seen me around.” I shrug, looking at him for a second before looking away.

    Coughs escape my mouth as I bring myself to the surface of the water. I fell in an area that is six feet deep, so that explains why I can’t stand. “Oh shit!” I exclaim with a gasp as I see my phone at the bottom of the pool. I quickly dive down to bring it then I swim back to the edge. My face is throbbing with pain and I find difficulty in focusing on anything except the dead phone in my hand. “I’m so sorry!” Josh apologizes as he pulls me up, but I couldn’t care less about an apolo

    “I just love your impressing techniques.” Daniel teases me, causing me to shove him off the couch. They’re acting as if I intended to throw the ball at the poor girl, causing her to fall into the pool and damage her phone. Taleen is quite intriguing; something about her makes me want to know more about her and I’m not sure what that thing is. Maybe I’m attracted to the way she looks. I can’t describe her as beautiful because then I’d be doing her injustice

    The fact that I enjoy studying biology is making this paper a lot easier for me to write. I’m supposed to submit it in three days and I’m almost done with it. It’s been two days since the barbecue party and luckily, my face isn’t bruised. I take a sip of my coffee and crack my fingers while making a circular motion with my head to relieve my neck a bit before returning to my paper. Mondays aren’t my favourite, to be honest. I have lectures from nine to three then I have a f

  • Inevitably Captivated   Seventy-nine: Taleen

    Ten more days have passed and I like to believe that I am used to his absence in my life. My family now knows I’m not with Josh anymore. I think it was a shock to them, just as much as it’s a shock to me. I think a part of me thought that Josh and I would be back together soon despite the breakup because we simply cannot stay away from one another.Maybe we have finally learned how to do that; however, I don’t think I have mastered that lesson yet. I still don’t know what I’m going to do if I see him before my eyes. I don’t know how I’m going to feel if he and I are invited to the same event. There are a lot of things I’m not ready for and I’m not sure when I am going to be ready.

  • Inevitably Captivated   Seventy-eight: Josh

    Meaningless. That’s how my life is without her. I still can’t wrap my head around what happened between us. She left. She packed her stuff and walked out of that door. I expected that to happen and to be honest, she took so long to leave, but why does it feel like she made that decision so early? I haven’t had enough of her yet.I long for her. I long for the warmth she brings whenever I take her in my arms when we both go to sleep. I long for the way she puts her head on my shoulder when we watch tv. I long for our cooking dates. I long for her presence.

    “Come on! You need to get out! This isn’t healthy for you.” Lisa tries to get me to leave the apartment, but I won’t budge.“My muscles hurt,” I lie, pulling my fuzzy grey blanket over me. It’s a lie I have been using a lot to escape from any outing. I’m curled on my dark blue couch, having my tv on and doing nothing. For the past week, I have enjoyed doing nothing except for going to work and college. I think I have memorized every single detail about this apartment. The more I stare at the walls, the more I realize they’re actually ivory white and not cream-coloured,if there’s even a difference.

    Not again. He promised. He told me he wouldn’t approach drugs this month. He lied. I’m fed up and tired. I’m drained. I have given him my all and I don’t think there’s something left in me to give.Because of him, I have gone against my morals, against every single thing I believe in. I lied to myself, doing my best to convince every cell in my body that he can get through this ordeal. There’s nobody to blame but me. This is my fault. I believed him when he said he didn’t need anybody else but me. I have to admit, I have always beensceptical, but I brushed off every doubt, feeding myself lies, so I would push myself to continue this journey.

    Almost two months have passed. Taleen didn’t leave. She refused to give up on me even though she should have done that a long time ago. I wish I could say I got better, but I keep on relapsing. I keep fucking up no matter what she does and I don’t know why she hasn’t left until now. I’m stressing her out. I’m giving her a hard time. I’m holding her back from living her life and she’s still here. She shouldn’t be here. She shouldn’t be with me. She should leave my sorry ass. College started a week ago an

    We reach the hall where the event is held. Avery is not with us. She said that she was tired and she would be in a terrible mood if she came. It’s one of the Dahlberg’s hotels, of course. It’s amazing. The walls are high and they’re painted in rich grey. There are hints of gold here and there, placed artistically to make the placemore classythan it already is.I glance at my reflection in one of the mirrors as we pass and I realize how close I am to Josh. In fact, our arms are linked together. I look at him and I see how handsome he looks despite his relapse. I fight the urge in me to kiss his cheek because I don’t want to earn weird looks from anyone and I still want him to know that I
