Love and Lament 39
His lips came crashing on me and knocked the air out of my lungs. Does that really happen to anyone, I wonder. For a few second, I could think about anything. My brain was in a mess, what was I supposed to make out of this?When he said he wanted to end my misery, I convinced myself that he was finally breaking up with me - for real. Although I was pretty sure we ended our thing the night I came out clean in front, I was still hoping that things would work in my favour and I'd never have to break our thing.But this - this insane act, the most unexpected one - this never occurred to me as a possibility. After what seemed like a few seconds, he finally let go of me."We're going to be late." He mumbled, looking at his watch. After a displeased frown formed on his face, he looked over at me and cupped my cheeks. "I want to make things right with you right now, Chloe, but I'm afraid we don't have the time. And I couldn't have waited until after the test - you were miserable and there was

"I'm sorry honey, but he already left." Brett's mom said with a saddened expression her face. Little Anna was stilling hugging me by my legs and kept jumping about how she missed me."He left?" I asked her, unable to believe what she had told."Yes." She said, her lips forming into a thin line. "I'm sorry honey. He wasn't actually in a great mood. The test was stressing him a lot and with everything going on..""It's okay, I understand." I tried to smile, but I don't know if it appeared like one. "I just wanted to see him one last time before I go for it. He was the one that wanted me to write it in the first place.""I know." She said. "Can I ask you for something?"I looked up at her with at frown. "Of course you can.""If you still care about him after everything, which I know you do, please give your best today. He might not be here to wish you good luck but it's so obvious that he is anxious about how you're going to perform. Please, just remember that he would love to see you go

After a month"Are you listening to me?" My mother narrowed her eyes at me, slightly knitting her eyebrows together to let a frown form on her forehead.Her eyes had bags underneath, and a few dark circles brushing her skin. She hadn't slept well lat night. Well, to he very honest, she hadn't slept at all. It was evident by how many times she almost fell asleep on the table while we were having break fast."I am." I said, almost rolling my eyes at her but resisted my urge before I could throw myself in a situation that would earn me a good amount of scolding.My eyes burned too, partly because they released more tears and completely drained themselves of any liquid and also because of the many sleepless nights I have been having with everything going on."Where's your bag?" She asked, trying to test if I was really attentive in the conversation.The conversation was getting routine. She constantly reminded me that I should stress myself and that I should get nervous before the actual

"What do you means it's me?" Brett spoke, as he got up straight to face me. I was involuntarily fidgeting with my hands, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get any words out of my mouth. It was that moment of silence we were having where both of us are confused to process what's running in our minds. The temperature of the seemed to increase with the slow anger in Brett's face. He's definitely not the guy who jumps to conclusions, but there is nothing that is not known here. He heard what I said perfectly, and he is judging the situation right. "I'm sorry.." I said. That was all I could say after looking at how his face was emotionless and stern. "You helped her get with me?" Brett asked, almost in frustration. "You thought we dated? For fuck's sake, I didn't even know her until I saw her that day!" "I didn't know she was lying.." I said, trying to sound as convincing as possible. What I did was stupid. And I realised it after really long. I know I don't stand a chance

The damp cloth was still resting on my waist, treating my unhealed wound. It was supposed to reduce the burning sensation there and I think Brett is pretty good at nursing my wounds since I don’t feel the intensity of pain anymore.He went off to meet Linda, who was forced to not come to the police station so that Anna doesn’t know of her brother being arrested. My mom helped Linda with convincing Anna, so both of them had to let just me to go fetch him. Sean tagged along until he was sure I could handle the situation alone, since Sapphire was still in the hospital.She will be discharged tomorrow morning. Sean will probably just be there by her side until she goes home safe. Brett and I can go meet her tomorrow and thank her loads from our side.Brett promised to come back home and sleep with me tonight, because according to him, I don’t know how to take care of myself.Well, I’m not going to argue with him on that. But I’m pretty sure my mother knows how to take care of me better th

I held my forehead against the cold metal. It stunk of iron, of dust left uncleaned for a long time now. The region where my skin was stuck to it was beginning to lose sensitivity. i felt numb as the coldness almost froze that part of my forehead. Yet, my forehead didn't cease to sweat.It was hot, and since my nerves were not trying to calm down, my throat almost burned due to the raspy breathes I've been receiving. I felt a warm hand clasp mine, that was resting on the cold metal. I felt warm breath fanning my cheek, and y forehead rested side ways."Go home, Chloe." He said, pushing a few strands of my hair behind my ear. "It's late.""I won't go home until you take me." I said, looking at him through the cell.He was currently locked up in the cell, and I was standing outside it. It was almost infuriating to know that the police had accused him without acquiring proper evidences. They just have a witness, but until they catch hold of reliable evidences, they can't lock him up.See

I was sweating profusely. Suddenly, my limbs grew weaker than usual. I stared wide eyed at the person before and gasped.Sapphire ran a hand through her hair and roughly pulled them back. She came to me and hurriedly brought me to my feet."Are you okay?" She asked, her face drained of the blood. She palmed my face and searched for injuries. Knowing how I was almost harassed by him, she would obviously be worried about how my present state is.My mouth felt dry to reply. I opened my mouth to say something that would escape from me, but before anything could happen, Sapphire fell back on to the ground. I gasped when I realized that Parker had yanked her back by her hair."You bitch." Parker gritted the words out angrily, yanking her back. "It clearly looks like the both of you need some taming to be done."My eyes widened as he grabbed her and yanked her back angrily. She groaned in pain and struggled under his monstrous treatment. I didn't know what to do. I needed t help her from the

I was worried.Worried about how things were going to be. Worried about how Vicki was going to take it all. Also worried about might be happening to our friendship when she takes things in a different way.Although she's going to hear it from me before from anyone else, I don't think she's going to entirely happy. I should have told that I couldn't help her when she asked. I love Brett, and I knew it would be very difficult for me to let go off him. I shouldn't have taken the chances.But then, if I told her that I love Brett, she might have told it to Brett too. I didn't know if Brett had feelings for me back then. It would ruin everything we had. Even the friendship.Vicki is my childhood friend. And she is a very good person. Maybe I shouldn't be so worried about telling it to her. Maybe I should just let her decide and tell her everything. It's for the best.I nodded my head for myself, taking renewed strength from within me.I can do this.I mumbled to myself, walked through her

The wind was blowing in my face, numbing my cheek bones and nose in the ice-cold atmosphere. We let the windows down as we drove alone on the deserted road, my head sneaking out into the air.I closed my eyes for a few brief seconds, as relief flooded through my entire system. I could hear the gradual roar of the engine as we sped up, and the demeaning silence it was bringing when we occasionally stopped to surpass the bumps.The rustling of leaves under the tires, and the distant growls of animals were the only noise in the silent weather, and the only thing that subsided against the slow music of the car.We are on our way back to Boston. After packing our things up and meeting up with Sean and Sapphire, we headed back to our home. Brett and I had no awkward moments, much to my relief, and Sean and Sapphire could thankfully not think about anything going on between us.I was glad, that I'm left free of explanation because I know that Sapphire is the first person that will be excited

Prologue
I didn’t understand why but I felt a hollowness within the confines of my heart. The feeling had been persistent for the past one month ever since I heard the news but I had assumed that it would go away with time. But contrary to my belief, it only intensified. I realised only later that it was a feeling of longing that first started within my chest, to the point where I thought I might puke my stomach’s contents before it averted it’s focus to my eyes. I was again at a loss of words to explain why I was at the verge of tears. I surely had to be stupid. I wasn’t lost, Mom wasn’t mad at me nor did I fail my math exam again. Surely everything was fine. Then where were the tears coming from? Could it be Dad? But I haven’t thought of him for at least a month, ever since I got to know about that news. Right. There it was. The news. That was why I was crying. I was so caught up in it that I didn’t even realise how much it was bothering me! Of course, the news wasn’t that bad! In fact,...
