Aubree's Pov
"Hello, I am Mary, I will help you with your physiotherapy sessions." A sweet nurse smiled at me and made me ready for the first session.
She told me to do some neck exercises and some simple stretches, then we began with some breathing exercises. After a while, she began to ask me questions regarding my life.
There are times when the mind is dealt such a blow it hides itself in insanity. While this may not seem beneficial, it is. There are times when reality is nothing but pain, and to escape that pain the mind must leave reality behind.
Our lives are mere flashes of light in an infinitely empty universe. In 12 years of education the most important lesson I have learned is that what we see as “normal” living is truly a travesty of our potential. In a society so governed by superficiality, appearances, and petty economics, dreams are more real than anything anything in the

*Then* Aubree's Pov The day when I met Jaden at the party, I realised that we would have to hang out everytime, whenever Laurawould be with Nathan. After we left them alone in the room, we both went out towards the swimming area, and I felt too odd, with him. I felt as if I had a million things that I would love to say to him, but at the same time, I was worried that those things may not be a good topic to discuss, since we had just met. But more than that, I was worried. What if things did not work out between Nathan and Laura? She would blame me for that. "So Aubree, what are your hobbies?" Jaden asked me while he handed me a drink. "I love to dance, and I love to decorate, hence with the interior designing. What about you?" I asked him and he smiled. "I love to sleep." He stated and I began to laugh. "Who doesn

*Now* Aubree's Pov We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection.Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them – we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.Shame, blame, disrespect, betrayal, and the withholding of affection damage the roots from which love grows. Love can only survive these injuries if they are acknowledged, healed and rare. I think in the end, you would have stayed with me, out of obligation...or maybe comfort. Maybe I was safe to you, and you needed to feel that. I know how scared you get of the unknown. To you...I must be kind of a security blanket.

Aubree's PovThen"Hey Aubree! Glad that you came." Jaden greeted me as I got into his car and saw that Laura wasn't there. But she had promised to come."Where's Laura?" I asked him while he began to drive his car."She isn't coming. She's buzy with Mr. Cuteand his little winkie." Jaden said and we both began to laugh.In a way I was glad that Laura did not come. Today was our first dance class and Jaden had promised to take both me and Laura there. He too had enrolled for it. And now that Laura had not come, Iwas sure that he would partner up with me during the dance."Aubree you know how to dance. But what will a guy like me do there? Probably I will make a fool out of me and I could never be able to dance." Jaden said with a frown on his face.Oh no! I could not let him quit. What if he's not there? I absolutely love to dance, a

Aubree's PovNowIf I did not mention earlier, then I am again, Jaden's family was rich. The type of rich that they owned a personal beach house. And it was just a small one for him. But the view in front of me told a different story.In front of me stood a beach with green emerald coloured water crashing into the mountains as well as on the glittery sand. Out there at the corner, stood a three story beach house, made entirely of wood and the rest of the beach was full of sand covered with sea shells of all colours and umbrellas.People in the modern world are the most bored generation. They keep refreshing their Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages to see if something interesting is happening. They would switch on their television sets every now and then with the hope to see some interesting content on it. I always hated that life, I wanted a quiet and happy life, something self-fulfilling and happy in

Aubree's PovThenEver since Laura found Nathan, nothing remained the same between us. One year had passed by, and our friendship was taking a new turn. We used to be so close that we hung out every day. But now, it seemed as if we were no longer friends. And Laura felt the same thing. So one day, we decided to meet, so that we could discuss the matter.We both met at a restaurant and began to talk about our lives."I'm so sorry Aubree. I'm such a bad person to abandon my best friend just because of Nathan." She apologised."It's all right Laura. I do know that we had other priorities. But now we need to spend more time together." I said with a smile and she smiled back at me."No I'm serious. I never knew that I would be ignoring you because of Nathan. I'm damn sorry. I hope I can try not to be with him all the time." She babbled while I just sat, giggling.

*Now*Aubree's PovThe next morning when I woke up, I found that Jaden wasn't sleeping next to me. Last night I did not even remember when I fell asleep. All I remember was watching a movie while in his embrace.I got up and saw that the sun was already shining through the windows and the most spectacular view was in front of me. There were different rocks, of all colours lying there, and the sea water rushed through it in full force, creating a very calming noise, making me feel even better, and I saw that the sun hadn't risen up fully, and the surrounding were plastered with a soft orange glow. The view of the horizon was definitely the best view one could wake up to."Hey you're awake!" I saw Jaden coming in the room with a plate of fish chips in his hands, a glorious smile while wearing a work suit."Are we going somewhere?" I asked him when he placed the plate of fish chips in front of me."Actually I

*Then*Aubree's Pov"Are you sure that they are not at the club yet?" I asked Laura who was currently in my room, raiding my closet to find a dress for me."Yes for the millionth time I'm telling you that yes they are not at the club yet. They were playing video games when I last called Nathan and he promised to call before they leave for the club." She heaved a sigh and continued her search to find a dress for me.After we left the restaurant, Laura called Nathan, who told her that they won't be in the club until eight, and hence we had time to get ready before we went there."Take this dress and curl your hair. And if you ask me about their whereabouts then I will kill you." Laura screamed at me while handing me a short red dress."Yes your majesty." I said and began to change.I knew I was over reacting now and she had the full right to scream at me.

*Now*Aubree's PovI was sitting in my room, while sipping green tea with my best friends, Laura and Nathan, when I received a text from Jaden.*Be ready by 8, I'll meet you and the other two at the beach*Jaden wanted to meet us now. It was sitll five in the evening so we had a lot of time to get ready. And I wasn't even thinking about doing something special, I would just pop out wearing my shorts and tee. Afterall, I had forgotten how to dress up now. It felt as if my entire body was aching when I tried to put makeup on."Aubree let's get ready! Jaden texted me, he wants to meet us." Laura said and jumped with excitement and I looked at her for a second. Wasn't she overreacting?"Okay? But he said he wanted to meet at eight." I said and she sighed."Urgh! Aubree we only have three hours! We need to begin now." She insisted."Girls and their dressing up. You think we guys actually l

Aubree's POVOne step forward, then the other following the same ordeal and stepping further, just a robotic movement and I knew I could do it. After all, I had endured much worse situaions in my life, other than walking on the aisle.My emotionless face, my tear stained eyes, my smudged blush and the imperfect lip gloss were hidden from the eyes of this world with a white veil. But now I knew that it would be the last day that I would cry for such a person. The last day that I had cried for my best friend Laura.The entire hall was full with people that I knew, who used to love me, but then, who knew the truth any longer?My face was still emotionless, just staring at the man who stood at the altar, ready to accept me as his love again, and this time, no one could separate us.It strained my heart. Well, strained wasn't even the word to define how my heart felt. Ever since I met her, I knew she would be my best friend forever. Who

Aubree's Pov*Now*The love that I gave him, was never reciprocated by him earlier. The love that he felt for me, never even reached me. And when we were finally on the verge of getting together, we were ripped apart all over again, that too by my own best friend.What did I do to deserve this? If I was betrayed because of the trust that I withheld in my best friend, then I would never be able to trust anyone else again.The girl who asked me what to wear, how to dress up, who copied all my homework, the girl who sang with me when we were all drunk and rolled down the streets, laughing and screaming profanities at all the passerbys. She actually shared each and every moment of her life with me. The woman who was now married to my best friend. How could I even face him and tell him about what she had done?You have no idea what people are capable of doing if pushed enough. It may not seem rational, but then, again, nothing

Aubree'sPov*Then*We began to have clashes, a lot of them. Not only because Jaden was lying, but also because he wasn't spending his time with me. He used to come home late at night, then claimed that he had work to do.But I knew best. He wasn't out for work, he was out there with Isla. She told me about this everyday. She called me each and every day and told me that Jaden still loved her and that he spent his whole time with her. It broke my heart to know this though. My heart drained with the knowledge of this information. Isla told me this, just because she was being a good friend and wanted me to know the reality. She told me that she wanted him to stop, but he never did.He was married to me, yet he wasn't into me not even now. What did this mean? He just married me so that he could be good in the eyes of his parents, and this world. He had married a broken girl, but was

Aubree's Pov *Then* My eyes were open all the time. I looked at a body coming near me. Though my eyes were blurry at that time, I could still recognise him. It was Jaden. He had come here now, I would be safe now. Safe from Seb, but forever unsafe in life. Have you ever felt this way? That whether your eyes are opened or closed, it doesn't matter anymore. Like all your deepest desires are suddenly dead. Once in my life, I opened my eyes cheerfully, just to experience the good in the day to follow. I always had a hope that something good would suddenly come over, and my life will change to the normal one that I once lived. But nothing like that ever occurred. Though I still had that hope in my heart. I thought that if I owned nothing, had nothing, was nothing, I would have nothing left to lose, and I wouldn't be scared anymore. Because my whole life I’ve been so damn scared. Scared to live becaus

Aubree's Pov*Then*Matt was a druggist, he took advantage of me a million times. But it was all okay for me at that time, because he never hurt me. He actually loved me more than anything and he knew that I never could love him back. I screamed Jaden's name a million times while he was making me come. But he never said anything. He just walked away on me, because it was the best for the both of us. He knew it, and so did I.Sebastian was yet another case. He did drugs. He was extremely alcoholic. And he never stepped out of his room without being high. If Matt was a druggist and I was an alcoholic, then Seb was the king of us all.I just wanted a person by my side so desperately that I almost forgot that who I was dealing with. It was Seb, and you never mess around with guys like them. I knew this ever since he taught us how to dance. He never tolerated tardiness, or something wrong thatyou d

Aubree's Pov*Then*I may not be as beautiful as her. I may not be as thin as her. I may not have my well clicked photographs. I may not be as popular as her. But I know that I loved him more than she could even imagine. Because, at the end of the day, loving isn't something that's physical, it's something that comes from deep within. My love for him was true, and it wasn't just his physical appearance I craved for. I wanted his heart to be mine, I wanted to touch his soul, like no one ever could. But it was just an imagination now.I was way too nervous. It's like, I wasn't ready to meet him.Years had passed by, but still, the reminder of the look of his face was ready to send my heart to that time when I had fallen in love with him.How could I face him, after all these years that were going by? How could I even look at him and Isla together again, yet feel nothing at all? It was going to be

Aubree's Pov*Then*I could feel the touch of his hands, as they began to roam my body, drawing tiny circles on them, as he kissed the fuck out of my neck. I did admit that it felt good, but I never imagined that this is how my experience with Jaden would feel.I held his hands once, which were soft and warm, but today, his hands were rough and cold, making me slightly cringe at the thought of kissing him back.He began to kiss me all along again, and this time, I could feel something, but it wasn't so good."Jaden.. " I moaned, while his lips sucked my earlobe.After sometime, he stopped. Just laid beside me and began to stare at the ceiling."I'm leaving." He said.It was then that I realised that it wasn't Jaden. It was Matt. This is why it felt so bad, but then why did I think about Jaden? I was totally over it, it had been a few years since

Aubree's Pov*Then*It was our three months anniversary. He planned out a dinner date for me. He took me out on a motorbike that night, towards the fanciest restaurant uptown. I wasn't expecting much so early, but he was keen to give me a lot, because, this is how much he loved me.He took me to the balcony, and a surprise awaited me. The whole place was full of red roses, and at the centre table, my name was written with the flame of candles. He told me how these three months of his life had been so wonderful, and how he awaited those next years to run by.Then, in an instant, he wrapped me within his arms, hugged me, and kissed my lips. Kissed them so hungrily, that he made me feel like I was lit by a million matches at the same time. I never expected this kiss to be so good, but he made me feel a million things with just a single shower of kisses.Next, he took me to the penthouse

Aubree's Pov*Then*Their was no light. I was walking down the street and suddenly, all the street lights went off. I was scared.It was dark alone, that brought out the worst in me. Nothing else had the ability to scare me off like darkness did. It felt like I were not able to breathe. Like breath was being sucked out of my lungs, as if life was getting pumped out of my heart.I could not breathe, I could not feel my heart pumping blood within me. If this wasn't the worse, I heard wolves howling just nearby. I was so scared, that I thought I might pass out. It was way too much to bear.Just then, I felt my hand within someone else's hold. Someone was walking beside me, and even though I could not see him, I knew who he was. He had always been there, whenever I needed him, he came along. Even today.My eyes opened at that same moment and I realised that I were sleeping and thi
