Twenty-Second Differences

{'Beauty is a curse on the world, it keeps us from seeing who the real monster are.'}

Heartbroken.

A sensation of which your heart has been trampled to bits and pieces by a person. A venom in your stomach and a tight knot in your throat. As if all the wings of butterflies inside you were torn to bleed. It is when each of the days becomes a battle to carry on and each of the night becomes a war against your own nightmare. It's an invariable swing of emotions, the worst feeling ever and no matter how hard you try to forget them, they drift right back into your thoughts.

I was left by someone I had loved for the first time. She died horribly because of me. And it gave me a reason to believe that love is not something you can attain easily even if we had the same feelings. That time, I felt like I was six feet underground.

Then I met my angel.

When I saw her for the first time, a spark of hope began. She looked so stunning and untouchable, that if tainted, the clouds would open apart to w

    {'Can you imagine finding someone who stays?'}After I slammed my locker open, I tossed my books a little bit rough inside, causing all my stuff to fall on the floor. I cursed loudly, my voice produced echoes in the clear hallway. What a great day, indeed!I missed out on Chemistry because of Quinn so I didn't have the option but to stay at the gazebo for a while before I decided to wait for my friends in front of my locker. I was so aggravated at myself because I really messed up. Things were getting worse every minute of every hour. These mixed feelings for her were tumbling me from top to bottom and I had this gut that it would get shoddier every time I would see her angelic face almost every day of my senior life.Winding on my knees, I heard the last bell rang and all the student's various chattering could finally be heard around. Gathering together my stuff with one hand (the other holding my laptop), someone lent me a hand as they took my stuff from the floor. I gave them my th

    {'I was never insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched.'}If I could describe this situation, I could name a few things and it still would be a huge understatement.The food was brilliant, of course-- a complete course of French cuisine which was set professionally over the table with non-alcoholic red wines for each one of us. The seat arrangement was somewhat awkward.Dad urged me to sit next to Quinn because we were practically still together for him. As Tiana had told him, we were just quarreling-- no big deal! He was already accepting our relationship but I have no idea if Quinn and I were okay.Of course, not! Quinn and I were not okay.Next to me, Mom was chatting enthusiastically with Aunt Claire while my father seated at the head table. They were completely oblivious of what was happening. I was staring down at my plate, refusing my eyes to end up in a discomfited circumstances. If I look up, I was sure that Khloe would give me one of her nasty smirks. If I turn

    Quinn{'I took the leap and built my wings on the way down to yours.'}I was completely clueless. I didn't know what they were thinking. Or what was I thinking and what's gotten to my sister's head when she stole that black album from me.Before we headed to the dinner, I had no clue what Khloe was fussing about. She seemed anxious, telling me that I'm a dim-witted girl for not having the courage to feel even a little bit of something for Risa. Although she didn't know how much I feel so different just from seeing her breathing.My sister—— she clearly knew that being with Risa was like chasing a rainbow yet she was too stubborn to hear what she was saying to me.Or maybe I was the stubborn one. My mind was turning down my own heart's plea. My body knew who it wanted. My eyes would always make their way to where they loved to gaze. My hands were responding to who it wanted to hold dearly yet my mouth wouldn't even escape a single word for her to be all mine. But my lips would always w

    {'There are people who take the heart out of you and there are people who put it back.'}Watching the stars hanging dazzlingly in the clear sky, I couldn't help but smile ever so lovely while thinking of her. If I could express magically how happy I was, then I was probably flying over the moon, watching all the meteors showering over my head. If I could describe all the rumbling butterflies within me, their wings were probably shining in beatitude. It felt like I was laying over the clouds, wandering on the seventh heaven instead of sitting on my room's balcony.Peeking inside my room, I grinned contently at my friends, seeing that they were all snuggling together over my king-sized bed. Of course, Hilary was between the couple so that she could prevent the two from touching each other. Standing up and tiptoeing without a sound, I slipped inside my walk-in bedroom closet. I turned on the chandelier lights and started to rummage through my jewelry drawers. Once I found the old golden

    {'Fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth.'}Someone was shaking my shoulder when I woke up and I turned around when I felt two arms enclosed around me. Right away, I smiled when I caught the wondrous sight of my girlfriend as she was looking at me with a pair of dimples on her cheeks. I was glad that I was able to convince her to spend the night here because I didn't know if I could keep her away from me after what happened last night.She was claiming that she was a professional stalker, but still, it would be dangerous if I let her wandering on the street with her sweetheart's face. So here she was, in our guest room, taking all the glory of my morning."Good morning, gorgeous," she greeted and gave me a peck on my lips. "As much as I would like to stay on the bed with you, I need to go. I don't want to get caught in here and way back home.""Wait!" I sat up and pulled her back when she began to move away. Giving a little bite on her shoulder, I snuffled her sunris

    {'There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.'}With my chin up, I was sitting on the couch with composure while this hag was scrutinizing me since she made an unpleasant entrance here. There were reasons why I should murder this girl in the woods.First, she was Quinn's ex yet she seemed not agreeable at this little piece of information as she stared at my girlfriend like she was something that needed to be done raw every day on her bed.Second, she interrupted our oh-so-glorious moment a while ago and I was formally sexually frustrated. Third, Claire demanded her to stay here for the whole weekend and that could get her a chance to harass my angel sexually in bed in the middle of the night as Khloe secretly had told me. I refused to leave so here I was, praying that Claire didn't notice that I really needed to be home right now.Taking a glance at my angel beside me, I made a frown as she acted like this was all nothing for her. DUH?! Her ex and her current gi

    Quinn{'The best revenge is massive success.'}The shades of the night cascaded through the room as I hung up after I said I love her, knowing that she was already sleeping on the other side of the phone. Throwing my phone down carefully at the bed, I glanced up at the familiar form, standing in my room's doorway. Her blue eyes were set of mine, observing me for a couple of minutes. Her stare made me huff in worries and it gave her reason to shut the door as she came inside without asking any permission.Jane had been quiet and that meant she was aggravated, controlling herself from uttering insulting words that she would regret later. It is just the way she was; a total escapist. But I knew this time, she brought all the courage with her to talk to me. And I knew that she wouldn't even try to win me back because it's silly for her to do so.A deafening silence freely mixed with the nighttime. The only thing that came between us was the light from the lamp over my bedside table, polis

    {'If you are going through hell, keep going.'}Several weeks had passed yet curious eyes couldn't move on to the fact that Quinn and I were together. I've been chased and I've been pushed inside a closed space. Almost a disgusting mouth landed on my lips just because of the sudden news of my relationship with Quinn spread out. The entire week dragged like I'd been running from monsters and searching for my safe haven. Now that the peasants of my kingdom or should I say the entire school knew that my senior and last doll was Quinn, I was haunted by the people I cheated with, assuming that they could taste my sin again with their hungry lips.And all those boys who kneeled around my feet were aggravated because I shattered their dream of having the sweetest face that they'd ever seen. Some of the girls were pretty sickened but who cares? I was the most desirable girl here until my girlfriend arrived and they could do nothing about it. It was a fact and I swore that I wouldn't mess thi

  • Raindrops [GL]   Last Epilogue

    Quinn{‘Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale.’}My own forestry eyes automatically opened by the sound of exquisite kisses. The sunlight fell against my own sight, making me sigh in warmth inside. Instantly, my lips tugged a smile once I saw my girlfriend watching me slowly waking up to reality.To a beautiful reality.I took a time to cherish the view beside me. Starting from her pink lips who looked so misty from the way we endlessly kiss last night. To her heavenly eyes that I held endearingly to the deepest core of my heart and then to her raven smooth hair that caressed her lovely face magically. My arms found its way around her waist and pulled her naked body closer which caused her to moan silently.“Good morning,” I said, bringing my lips to her own.She giggled through our humble kiss. “Morning, love.”I pulled myself back to gaze at her, stroking her face soothingly with the tip of my fingers and then she closed her eyes softly

  • Raindrops [GL]   Forty-Third Tears

    {‘Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts.’}The rain was pouring hard over the damp soil of the cemetery. Looking up, the sky seemed in agony and in greatest sympathy. I gripped my black umbrella hard as I refused to accept that the person inside the casket deserved this kind of cry from heaven.I turned to look at my parents beside me, including Aunt Claire who was now crying. I searched for Khloe but she was nowhere to be found as I predicted. Honestly, I didn’t want to be in this place right now but my Dad wanted me to. He wanted to wear something black and go with them as a formality.Watching the coffin slowly pulling down beneath the moist earth, I walked forward and tossed the white rose hard, not even cared if the people around me gasped from what I did. Turning around, I stormed off, throwing the umbrella aside and ignored all the people who were watching me.I didn’t care. Even in the p

  • Raindrops [GL]   Forty-Second Choice

    {'There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds'}QuinnI had two choices.It was either take all the risk and be brave just what my Aunt had advised me to do or rather what she persisted me to do.Or...Follow that bastard's order and end all my family's hardship including our future.I didn't want to accept that this was all happening and at the same time, I made the biggest mistake of my life by not making sure that they wouldn't go here. But they were here. Here she was, obliviously walking into the pits of hell that was about to crumble down with me all the way back to the deepest.I was scared. I was always afraid but I was trying my hardest to remain standing. It was painful to see my Risa trying to reach out for me but I couldn't and how I wish I could. However, at that moment, she gave me strength and courage. I wanted to survive. I wanted to fight for them. For my parents. For my grandma. For the sake of my family and

    {'Chaos is an angel who fell in love with a demon.'}"I am very disappointed..."I closed my eyes tight and leaned my head against the car window as Khloe spoke out finally after an undivided silence. I didn't say anything... I was just gobbling all the pain I was feeling right now even if I didn't want to. I couldn't help it for the reason that it was too strong and I think it would not fade away no matter how. Just hearing those cruel words from Quinn caused me to feel so vulnerable and broken. It was too intense that all of my being shattered. I didn't want to believe all of this but she slapped it in my face, breaking what we had built together.How could she do this to me? How could she keep all of those lies whenever she touches me? How could she say she loves me back if my touch makes her sick?Why she was crying? Was it guilt or she just couldn't take the empty feeling of not being able to feel? It wasn't my fault that she could not sense anything physically but why was she b

    Quinn{'The only thing we have to fear is fear itself--nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.'}I had to do it.I had to tell her the truth. They needed to go away from here or that bastard would pull them in his web of wicked games. I wanted her to leave, away from here—— away from danger, even if it means losing her.Despite I had successfully pushed Risa away, hearing those painful words unbuckled my knees as I slid my back against the door, embracing myself together and sobbing in agony. I didn't want her to know what I really was but I knew such desire wouldn't do any good for the both of us because eventually, she would find out. I was just so afraid to the point I was fooling myself.Freak, I thought to myself. Maybe I truly deserved that insult because instead of embracing it, I kept it under my sweet fake personality. I deserved her resentment because I broke our promises to each other, concealing the truth I

    {'If you love someone, let her go. If she comes back to you, then she's yours forever. '}I tapped my foot in annoyance as I listened to the security guy who was talking with Khloe. We were outside the gate of this country club and I couldn't wait to see Quinn anymore. Khloe said she needed help but it was really odd that she wouldn't even answer her phone. We called her so many times but the line would always direct us to her voicemail.Of course, my friends tagged along with me. They were waiting inside the car we had rented from the airport while we were talking to these two big guys wearing a guard uniform. Tiana was excited as I was while Hilary kept on complaining because she didn't get to pack properly as if this was a vacation. Bailey? Bailey just slept all the time as if she didn't care."I told you, Ma'am. We can't allow you to enter this private property without authorization from the people inside," he said, not paying his whole attention to us while he scratched his fatty

    Trigger Warning: Read at your own risk.{'The worst enemy is memories.'}QuinnThe sound of the ticking clock softly caressed my ear—— never stopping. Timeless and eternally like my throbbing heart inside my chest. My eyes flickered open and I saw myself standing in the middle of a grandiose foyer. The surroundings felt neutral and miserable as the nightshade slipped outside through the glass window, overcasting my form tremendously. Tilting my head up, the light of the chandelier in the center of the ceiling was the only thing that breaks against the darkness.It was like a dream—— or memories.Deliberately, my eyes landed on a form, standing in the middle of the grand staircase. It was a little girl, gazing back at me. Her eyes were untainted and innocent as they gleamed against the light. She stepped down one at a time, still, her forestry gaze not leaving mine. The hue of her braided hair was blonde as mine as it draped over the princess-like floral dress she was wearing.As she w

    {'She walks in beauty, like the night. Of cloudless climes and starry skies, and all that's best of dark and bright. Meets in her aspect and her eyes.'}QuinnEyes close, the sound of the ocean waves spoke calmly in my ears. I tried to enjoy myself as I lied down under the sun yet there was always lacking: the sun heat, the sea breeze, and all that reminded me that I had lost a significant thing. However, paradise also recalled the beautiful taste. Her lips and those eyes which kept the colors bright upon all my sight could see.I was missing her so much——badly and terribly.Even though I had decided that it was better to give some space between us, I knew I couldn't endure being away from her like this. I called her a few times, to tell her the truth, but I didn't find the courage to speak out to her.I was too scared. I also felt guilty whenever I hear her disappointed voice in each of my calls. I wasn't that responsive to her and always had to cut the call short. True, I was busy b

    {'I became insane with long intervals of horrible sanity.'}Gripping my wheel hard, I drove faster like a madwoman. Hitting the road as if I was in a race, I couldn't help but feel hurt about this morning when Quinn left me without saying goodbye. There were hundreds of questions floating in my mind right now. Was she angry about what happened last night or she feels disappointed because she realized I'm not good in bed? But that was nonsense. We did it a couple of times until we fell asleep together so I wondered why she left me alone in our beach house this morning.Last night was so seamless for me and flashes of memories came abruptly into my mind as I caressed the angel wings pendant she gave me. The way she touched me was the gentlest feeling I've ever felt. The way she kissed me was so passionate and my heart never ended to burn in intensity. I was in a far-reaching pleasure that I almost died in unbroken enchantment.However, waking up without her in my arms felt so lonely and
