- 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
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
- 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
“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 - 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
“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 - 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
- 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’
I’ve been very, unarguably hurt and projected my feelings at him. I could’ve told him. I could’ve trusted him but I chose not to and hurt both of us in the process. Yet he found out anyway. And even now, he’s the one I lean on when I need a safe place to stay. My eyes begin to water. I don’t want to
- HAZEL - I peak my head past the refrigerator door, keeping a decent watch of my environment while I eat the life out of this pastry. You know when you think being rich gives you all the benefit of good life and good food? Wait till you realise that there are better benefits known to man outside
- KILLIAN - I raise both my hands high above my head in a stretch, yawning. Tonight is the one night I admit that I am overly exhausted. I am keeping myself busy. It’s the best way to avoid all that’s going on temporarily and keep my mind from spiralling. It’s also to avoid getting in contact wi
- KATE - I zip the last bag I’m taking with me to travel. I take a few steps back and place my hands on both sides of my hips as I stare at my luggage before me. I’m just spending a few weeks in school yet I’ve packed so much. I’ll need them all though, one can never be too prepared, staying at hom
I choke on a spoon. Before I could signal to him for a drink, a glass of juice is placed in front of me. I grab onto it and drink it, drowning the food clogging my pipe down my throat. I should not gush my food, there’s no where I have to be. “Thank you.” I voice, strained, dropping the now half f
- HAZEL - I have a grumpy face on. I woke up with it. Showered with it and even dressed up with it. Thanks to Killian, my chin hurts but he sure as hell put me in my place last night. Right exactly where I needed to be. It was needed but I guess I didn’t realise how much needed it was. I guess I n
She doesn’t consider me a problem. Ouch. Bless her confident heart. “Is there someone after me?” Leaves her mouth. “Am I really unsafe in my dorm or was this a ploy to get me within your vicinity?” I take another step forward. The closer I am to her, the harder it is to not look at her in every
- KILLIAN - She’s staying in a different room. Normally I wouldn’t be this bothered if I didn’t want her to stay with me in my room. When last has it been since I actually held her in my arms? When last has it been since I had her here with me, peacefully laying by my side on my bed? The highlight
- ASAMI - The ear scarping noise as my dagger scribbles something on a metal board leaves me running mad but I’m not stopping. The scratches on the board tell an undeniable tale of suffering but it’s an object after all, I’ve had to feel this turmoil on my own skin before. I’m clutched on a chair
