- HAZEL -I sigh and roll to the other side. My eyes are still shut and I'm desperately trying to sleep. I'm so tired yet despite my efforts, I can't. I don't know if he just gave me a phobia for tiny spaces or if my actions still freak me out but I know my thoughts keep me from having a good night
My little payback ended badly after all. I sigh and stare at the large door facing me. There's no hope now, I guess I might just walk into it and cross my heart that it'll lead me back to the corridor I came out from. Back to my room. I'll force myself to sleep, I swear! Heck, I'll even glue myself
Killian turned the lamp off. I don't know why that made my heart skip a beat. I just asked him to direct me and he turned the light off. Is that his way of rejecting my request? I guess so. The room suddenly brightened. I used my hand as a veil in front of my eyes to block the rays of several ligh
- HAZEL -I still can't sleep. This time, it's not insomnia or thoughts keeping me awake, nor is it the noise from the tv. I sigh, well, it partially is. Just knowing he'd rather stay up all night than join me crushes my soul. I'm not asking for anything intimate, even if I want that, just a hug wi
"Oh, kitten, you don't want to know what I am to you." I handed him the jotter with the pen tucked in between some pages. I actually want to but I don't think I should ask. "Will you give me yours? Since you have mine." Killian didn't respond but his eyes did. He has a wicked smile on his face li
- KILLIAN - My watched beeped. My alarm has rang for the fifth time since I snoozed it. It's afternoon yet Hazel is still fast asleep. I promised to bring her to her dorm by eight but I guess that's not happening. I leaned over my chair to stare at the body sleeping peacefully on my bed. I don't k
I raise my brow without saying a word, waiting for her so say what's wrong. She will withoute asking, I know that already. Hazel stretched her hand backward, behind her head. "My neck hurts." It must be the injection. I sighed with relief . "It'll clear off soon." "Clear off soon?" She breath. "Di
- HAZEL - My neck hurts terribly. I don't know what Killian put there but the pain is unbearable. "Okay Kate, I appreciate the care but you can let go of me now." I forced a giggle. I'm trying to hide my tears from rolling down my cheeks. Seeing them together.... seeing her lean over to kiss him..
- HAZEL - Nothing seems interesting. Each day, I’m getting closer and closer to losing my mind yet I’m trying to get my act together. No one really talks about how overwhelming it is to have to hide a part of you you’d love to talk about so much. How miserable keeping to yourself actually is. It’
- KILLIAN - She’s avoiding me. It’s one thing to be understanding but it’s another to try to put up with it when I have so much going on. Hazel has not said a damn word to me for days. I’ve had no texts. No calls. Not even so much as a gaze from her and we literally are in the same school. I ca
“Well, time does things to someone.” I comment. I don’t want to talk about a painful past when I’m dealing with an even more difficult present right now because of her. I don’t know what she said to Hazel but it’s got Hazel acting in a way that bleeds my heart. It’s times like these that I hate bein
- KILLIAN - Rain. I stare at the wiper blades sliding back and forth over my windscreen, wiping the raindrops hitting the glass away to no avail. It keeps pouring. Heavily at that. The sound of the water hitting my car and every object in the environment, the ground included, eases my nerves. The
“What do you think about this? I call bull.” Kaiden asks, walking by my side. Boy, seeing him again this close makes me know how much I did not miss this blonde guy but I’m casual about it. It’s just so funny how the timing is. I took his woman from him and she dumped me the moment I met him again.
- KILLIAN - Seeing her leave because of me broke me. Seeing her walk away with the desperation to run after her being pungent but not able to destroyed me even more. It doesn’t make any sense. Just this morning and a few days ago, we made love. We were happy then all of a sudden she drops this
I avert my gaze to my phone. It’s two thirty pm. How long have I been in school? I lost track. I haven’t made any academic progress since I met Asami. “Sorry, just been overwhelmed with thoughts.” I sigh. “Want to talk about it?” Natasha chimes. My lips form a line. Not really. There’s not mu
- HAZEL - “Do you really mean that?” Killian reaches out to touch me. I shove his hand away, keeping my resolve. “Yes, I do. You disgust me, Killian. I’ve put it off long enough but I can’t anymore. Let’s break up and end this thing between us.” In his eyes, I could tell he didn’t want to bel
My jaw tightens. “If it’s for us, then you’d tell me so WE can sort it out together. That’s why I’m here, no?” The sound of a flushing toilet blares in the restroom causing me to blink perplexedly. The door blocking her away from me is pushed open abruptly. I let out a sigh of relief. Finally.
