- HAZEL - My body jumps up with a scream. I’m panting hard and breathing heavily while having the worst mental breakdown I’ve ever experienced and I’m voicing it out loud with wails. “What? What’s wrong?!” Killian sits up. He’s by my side, putting an arm around me but I can’t hold myself. I burst
- KILLIAN - I stare at the bed long enough to study her response to things. Hazel’s eating her fourth bagel while, not something I agree with, brushing her hair. She’s also watching a sitcom on the tv. After last night, the disturbance which forced her to wake up, I’m just letting her do her th
- KILLIAN - I ring the door bell. Getting into the estate she lives in was not hard at all considering I have already been here once. Or have I? I can’t remember but I do know I’ve sent her a gift before. One she might be receiving sometime soon again. Maybe this time, it’ll be her own body parts i
I hear the sound of quiet movements as a body lunges up the ground, seeking stamina on a wall while running ahead, towards me. This person is also unwise, I can tell every shift of the objects in this room by the second. I’ll let him or her come. Just when I feel the swift brush of air behind me,
- ASAMI - An ally might overstep boundaries but passing your judgment by ordering her death is uncalled for. Those men weren’t sent to kill me, but according to They, if I ended up dead in the process, he won’t hold it against any of them so they were left to roam freely doing whatever they wanted
I stand in front of his car. I don’t know why but being this close to him, alone, when there’s nothing obstructing my thoughts seems scary. . . I got so caught up with what was happening around me that I didn’t think this through. Did Hazel say something to him? Is that why he’s here? I feel bil
“So you know how to plead?” Sarcasm oozes off his tone. “Have you learnt to offer mercy though?” Seeing him take the knife out of its leather strap scares me. “Pleasee. She’ll never smell my presence again. I’ll be away from her, just don’t hurt me, Killian please.” My words are getting jumbled as
- KILLIAN - What did I expect? I step harder on the throttle, speeding as fast as I can. Why did I bother to aid her and meddle with her business with S? I should’ve just left. I should’ve waited somewhere I wouldn’t have interfered till she was done doing her thing. My fists clench on the
- 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.
