TEQUILA Chapter twenty one~ Nightbeams
Just like the moonWe must go through an empty phaseTo become full again•••There was nothing beautiful about the life she lived. Her life was a haiku of ugly changes and she had lost hope at the time she needed it more. There was nothing to cheer her on and no shoulders to cry on. It wouldn't be much of a surprise if one could rip out her heart and see the river of tears and pain it withheld since the day she lost her sister.She automatically shut everyone from her life. Not crying. Not speaking. Not eating. Not doing anything. It was so alarming that some people thought she'd commit suicide soon and till this day, it marveled her, how she had been able to survive till this very moment.Could it be that somehow, somewhere deep down in her being. In the secrecy of her heart, she was living by hope. The hopes of things going back to how it was before and maybe with the hopes that there was really something called time travelling and if there was, she'd go back to her twelve year old

I don't dream because sometimes we'd never have the things we want no matter how much we dream to own themWhy waste time on illusions? Yet he says 'Dream. Believe. Make it happen'_Yara Chizaram Williams•••"Flying pigs, aliens taking over the world, sunshine doing rainfalls..."Toby's jaws dropped open in shock, wondering if she knew how asinine she sounded." Teqs, who the hell has dreams of flying pigs and aliens like those are so very impossible.""But that's why they are dreams. Dreams are so impossible to achieve.""That's only if you haven't any atom of optimism to make them reality."Atom? Really?!" so you're saying; I can make pigs fly if I'm optimistic enough?" she asked suggestively."Well... figuratively, that can happen but literally speaking, it's so impossible." he replied thoughtfully."Pigs could fly either way. According to you, that can happen." she said as though it was the most normal thing that could ever happen."The key word was 'figuratively' Teqs. Pigs don

Although I guess if I knew tomorrowI guess I wouldn't need faithI guess if I never fell, I guess I wouldn't need graceI guess if I knew His plans, I guess He wouldn't be God.•••I'm ill. Terminally ill and it's that bad that up till this moment I'm only surviving...His calmness.His plain look.His toneless voice.It wasn't making any sense. How did he announce that he was terminally ill with a kind of calmness akin to the soft whistle of the breeze sweeping past them? How did he even manage to keep a plain look and make his voice sound so toneless whilst he announced a whole bundle of catastrophe?And she? She sat there taking in the news with an impassive expression. Not reacting, not even an iota of show of feelings for someone who just revealed he had a limited time to live. Unlike his mum who'd smile and assure him that he would be fine anytime she talked about his illness and Sarah? Sarah would probably break into a loud fit of painful sobs and afterwards, glue to him thro

Dance with me under the diamondsSee me as breath in the cold•••Morning tea.That was what was engraven on the brown brick wall of the big eatery towering over them. The building looked like some vintage store with a thick glass door that just required a little forceful pushing before one could get in.The lights inside the eatery were still on signifying that the owner wasn't closed for the day. Few cars sped past them on the road and across the eatery were night marketers and some Individuals footing their destination."Umm... so this is it?" Yara asked looking over at the building with an uncertain gaze, her helmet was still hung over her head."Apparently." Toby replied, dismounting from the BMW while he pulled off the helmet over his'."Is this like a teashop?""Actually it's more than just a tea shop.""Well, okay..." she shrugged as he took her hands in his before making their way to the door of the restaurant.She stared at both their hands holding each other, feeling her wh

'Cause every moment I find youI fear the days that I don't.•••"Good day students of Bluebell, I'm happy to see y'all here after the amazing weekend I trust we all to have had and even though your weekend wasn't all amazing, don't be discouraged, there are better days ahead..." Sarah paused, throwing her gaze around her audience all seated inside the vast auditorium orderly fashion."Without futher ado, i'll like to let us all know that Bluebell's students week is upcoming and as part of our activities for the students week, it's important to note that we, Bluebell's voluntary services will be going on an enlightenment spree to juvenile homes and other institutions and we'll be giving talks on anxiety disorder and how to manage them, domestic/ drug abuse..." she paused again, taking in a deep breath.She was pretty outspoken and the ounce of attention she commanded on stage was outstanding. Her eyes twinkling brightly as she scanned through the crowd with an encouraging heartwarming

I know people that'll bet on anything to stop meI don't know if anything can stop me.√√√Monday 12: 39pm."It's appalling to hear that a student of this prestigious institution would engage in such absurd crime as to stealing. This doesn't speak well of this student and it beats the prestige of this school whose name is at stake due to this absurdity. Miss Yara,do you have any thing to say for yourself ?""I didn't steal." was her simple reply.She was seated in the center of the school's disciplinary committee who had a long mahogany table round the vast pristine office environment, her mother sat at the extreme of the table, watching grimly at her daughter who had her arms clenched tightly in between her school skirts.Mrs Meyers frowned, "you picked pocketed alot of things from the party, things you knew were worth a lot of money. It's stealing also, Ms Williams.""I didn't even attend the party. I was home." she argued, keeping her tone leveled."And how about who's in this vide

Anywhere wheneverApart but still together•••It was outrageously dumb. Posing as popstars to sneak away from school was a dumb idea, and they knew that it was. But they weren't going to risk another method like feigning illness.Besides, why ask more for what you really don't desire. Especially since she knew about his terminal illness, It'd seem heartless and absolutely mean to use it to her advantage.And she couldn't help imagine her subconscious applauding her for being considerate for the first time in so many a year.Jumping out of the school fence was absolutely stupid and cowardly and she knew she was never known to be such a puss. Besides, alot of things could go wrong with jumping the fence like; them having to sprain an ankle or in worst cases, getting a concussion. classic popstars should look classic.And then, there comes the option of obtaining a permit card which was also totally unreasonable because there weren't any substantial ground and reasons why the school au

Horrible. Like death.And he didn't feel scared.Nurses on scrubs and doctors with their coats and sethestcope hanging on their neck filled the hallway, walking frantically about. There was the emergency whirling sound causing everyone else to instinctively clear the way for a stretcher carrying an almost dying woman into an emergency ward.The hospital was vast. And the oncologist department was like a vast world of its own with different wards having different individuals. Some had a bunch of kids smiling at a board and a lady who had a book that looked like a children story sat in their midst also talking and smiling while, another ward had grown-ups all circled around, sitting and talking and laughing at intervals. The support group for cancerous patients. He was never interes

♠It's been a long day without you my friend,and I'll tell you all about it when I see you again.♠•••The graduation ceremony for Bluebell student's was going to hit off in the next one hour at the school auditorium. Everyone was excitedly talking about the graduation the same way they talked about her housewarming party. She could still feel her head pound from the too many alcohol, loud music and dancing. Almost everyone at school knew about their prom-at- home party because April had gone live on social media, showing off her designer's outfit which was a limited edition, Sarah who wore a chef look with a makeover that made her so gorgeous. She even captioned under her picture; 𝐼 ℎ𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑏𝑒𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑒𝑥𝑦 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝐼'𝑚 𝑎 𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑓 𝑠𝑜 𝐼 𝑐𝑎𝑛'𝑡 ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑝 𝑖𝑡. And then, there was Yara wearing a butterfly look which April made her open an Instagram account and caption something that read; 𝐵𝑢𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑠 𝑛𝑒𝑒𝑑𝑠 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑖𝑟 𝑤𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑

♠𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒖𝒍𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈: 𝒃𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆_Ujuritaellianna•••It's mid afternoon and the girls are sprawled on the floor, looking over the boxes and decorations they've managed to pull off so far, the house decorations wasn't so different from the one Yara had in her room, she had said it reminded her of change and she wished to maintain it. It was a large two bedroom apartment that had a spacious sitting room with a dining table, a kitchen and three toilets. At one side of her sitting room which was fully furnished was a scented candle lit up around on a fancy table surrounded by fresh flowers and Toby and Josie's framed pictures.It had becoming her usual routine to say a word of prayer for him, lit the candles and keep it covered in a glass jar while replacing the flowers too. A routine she had just finished along with the girls who had helped doing the house design.“Yara, you really sure you can keep up with this?" April asked in concern.“Yeah, I thought you'd mo

It was Benny. She wasn't dressed in the usual uniform she wore and stood religiously at the door, she infact looked different in the floral dress and Crocs with her hair falling across her shoulders. And it struck Yara how alike they looked with both of their hairs falling across their shoulders. She said

♠You shoot me down, but I won't fall,I am titanium.♠Week 4."It's called rebranding." Reya smiled, sipping the glass of juice gingerly."What does that mean?" "Good question.” she leaned in further, "it's like doing away with those issues that weigh you down and taking on the good side of why you're alive despite everyone.""But there is no good side of life when you lose your sister and years later your boyfriend or when you get molested and thrown into a juvenile because no one believes your story rather think you're a demon of some kind and there's absolutely no good side of life when your parents treat you like shit and lie to your face everytime." she scoffed, "so tell me, what's the good there?" Reya nodded affirmatively, "i understand, Yara. I do because you have every right to feel this kind of way and I don't want to be that person who would just like to tell you to move on. I can assure you, it's not so easy as anyone would tell you." she paused, taking in a deep breat

Her countenance was impassive and blank as though she hadn't just finished listening to Yara's story and asking that question. “It's soothing. Doesn't solve anything but it's better than turning to drugs and alcohol for help.” The woman smiled, “Have you tried to reach out to them again?” “No. I don't know if they ever want me. Sometimes I think I'm some kind of bad charm, I attract only the bad things to people around me and myself. ” Reya said nothing, urging her to go on. “Josie thought I was a small butterfly when I was little.

Yara said nothing except to sit still and stare blankly into space. She was aware of her environment, she was aware of the woman who had calmly been entertaining her silence for almost a month, she was aware of the reason she had come to her in the first place. She was aware that the woman, Chimereya also called Reya was her therapist ever since Toby's demise.It didn't make her speak. She hardly

"Today isn't my birthday. Y'all didn't have to do this." He grinned widely at all of them gathered."Actually, it was your girlfriend's idea."
