Is she crying? "No wait, don't answer that. Fuck, I feel like a teen with tantrums." Hazel chuckles. I can hear the pain masked in that. "Do you want to cut ties with me?" I wait to know if that was some kind of joke. She didn't say more. Standing a few feets away from me in a nearly empty parking
- HAZEL -I stare at the love poster on the wall of Jasmine's corner. That could be me right now, with someone by my side, but I chose to stay here. I look up to face the wood supporting the bed above me. I never knew Jasmine as the lovey-dovey type but even she has a hidden poster on her wall. May
- KILLIAN -She's not here with me. I desperately hoped that she would be. I guess a confession didn't really mean anything. I dip my hand inside the glass bowl full of popcorn on my bed and feed myself to it. I'm sitting lazily on my bed while watching a series. I decided to pause everything I had
Kate flinches and grips my arm. "Oh, oh!" She holds me tighter. "I knew that man was no good from the moment he showed up." Her other hand grabs a handful of chips. She sticks it in her mouth at once. Crumbs fall on my thighs. Just great. I'm not enjoying the privacy invasion but I guess adjusting
I took the role as his parents. He's the one person I can actually talk to and make feel better because he relates to me so much."Want to continue watching?" I ask, laying the duvet on my bed. "Mhm." She pulls the duvet over her legs. I pick the remote and climb the bed and lay down by her side,
- HAZEL -My eyes open when a knock on my door wakes me up. Confusion is the first thing I feel and I roam my hand on my bed to look for my phone. I check the time. It's six thirty pm. I still feel so fucking sleepy. Another knock draws my attention to the door. With a groan, I climb down from my
- HAZEL - We just arrived. I'm making my way inside the hall while Kaiden is outside talking with some gentlemen. It's hard to miss the event center. Even from the entrance, I can hear the sound of soft saxophone music. And everywhere else is empty. I hold a portion of my dress up between two of m
Holy cow! My eyes widen at the flavour that blesses my tongue. I sip again, this time swallowing large amounts. This tastes like bliss. Like euphoria. I'll be having more of this. I turn around and hold my hand out with the wine glass between my fingers facing the pyramid and take a shot. This tim
- HAZEL - I let out an exhale, resting on the car window. These past few days have given me some time to think. Not about anything serious, just more about the right thing to do and my well being. “When will we get there?” I ask my driver, my eyes still on the road through the tinted window. Since
- ASAMI - It hit me like a wave the moment my mind and body became responsive to stimuli. My memories came crashing back to me all at once like a plague and what’s worse? I can actually feel an ache at the back of my head. I bite my lower lip to hold in the groan that nearly leave my lips at the a
She is nothing like a lady. Or not a decent one at best. I wonder if she treated all her victims the same way. I wonder if she dined to their demise. “You surely have good taste with wine.” She husks, her voice dragging out. The lady rests her elbows on the desk, clapping both her hands to a side
- KILLIAN - I let out a sigh, playing with my zippo in a dark room in the penthouse of a hotel. I’m expecting an important guest tonight, one I’ve wanted to meet for a very long, long time. The end of one side of my lips curl. I’m not smiling. Far from that, underneath this eerie smirk of mine is g
I let out an exhale, remembering every encounter him and I had since the night we met. He was flattering. Very gentle and the good kind of masculine. He also held me to him when he lied about us to Kate. . . . And even though it’s just two people I’ve been with all my life, I’ve not been in a rel
- HAZEL - By the time I woke up, he was gone. My bed was nicely laid despite being on it and my window was shut. I couldn’t perceive his cologne and there was not even a single trace of him ever being in my room. That sucked. I know he was here but it doesn’t seem so. I miss waking up to him in
Her room is girly. Way too girly. All stylised with feminine colours. This makes me chuckle under my breath. Sleeping in a room like this would give me nightmares but I’m pretty sure she gets cotton candy dreams. The irony is funny. “Your room is. . .” I clear my throat, looking for the right word.
- KILLIAN - It was quite easy. Coming over. Not having access to her the whole day got to me. Even while working, it was all I could think about. That’s why I decided to pay her a visit. A surprise one. This morning may not have been everything we hoped for but I know her too well to know that
- HAZEL - I stare out the window, sat on my bed, enjoying the night sky and city lights. A smile forms on my lips as I take a breath of fresh air at the nostalgia. Home. I’ve missed home. It’s non chaotic and less harmful. It’s warm and cosy. Everyone loves me here. Sadness suddenly becomes arde
