'2:18am' the red glowing lights from my alarm clock displayed.
I had been counting the invisible dust motes in the air for what felt like forever. I needed a distraction.
With this in mind, I picked up my glass case from my bedside table, opened it and slipped it on my nose.
There was no way I was going to lie here and be bored out of my mind. So I was going to do something about it.
Why don't you just read?
But that was it. I didn't feel like reading. After slipping my feet into my Pokémon slippers (yeah, you heard right), I exited my room, takin

Devin."Stop that!" Mom warned and backed it up with a powerful whack on my fingers."You know I love you right?" I diverted trying to distract her.She smiled. "Nice try.""What?" I cocked an eyebrow stretching my hand and attempted taking another cookie when an unexpected hand smacks my hand away.Ezra (my immediate elder brother by two years) dimpled at me. "I don't think you should do that.""What do I care what you think?" I whined before pushing my lower lip out in a pout."Mom, just one," I held a finger up, "and I'll be fine."A snicker comes from the door accompanied by the little devils themselves."Give it up already, will you?" Quinn inquired without sparing me a glance and drinking from a cup."Yeah bro." Agreed her second half.Maybe I

Warren.RIP mama.You never got to see your little Warren all grown up. Well, grown up wasn't the term I would use for myself.All those months carrying a baby in hopes of holding him in your arms, wasted. Well, not wasted but beneath everything that's messed up in my life, I know I'll live if not for anything but for the person who gave up her life for my sake.You missed my first words, first steps, first mischiefs, first falls, first fights, you missed the first half of my life but life as they say, must go on.Sun beating down on your headstone, I wonder if it blinds and annoys you as much as it does me.Dust devils swirling with the summer wind around us. Birds chirping happily unaware of your state."I can't believe dad didn't remember today. " I utter in disbelieve with a shake of my head.

Morowa.Room bathed in the soft yellow light from my bedside lamp. With one finger scrolling through the screen going through the form meant to be signed by my guardians send to me by the school staff.Manny sat across from me on the bed, almost mirroring my Indian style position but chewing on her nails. Stellar example, after telling me it was a bad habit countless times, she still does that same thing in front of me.Shuffling from my front signifies Manny probably standing up. The sole of her shoes creating gentle clicking sounds, probably pacing.Why is she even so restless?I finally direct my gaze at her which confirms my suspicions. She was pacing and chewing in her nails, her mouth moving every now and then, uttering inaudible words."Manny?"She halted her movements seeming startled at my voice. Her face sq

Warren.Nervous, excited and bored expressions played on the faces of the students as some blabber on and on about the 'most romantic city in the world', some in earnest discussion about mischief and no doubt fun which they were sure they were going to have on this trip. Goodluck to them.The voices a distant hum to me while I was whisked away by the winds of my anxiety and floating on the clouds of fear.Well, I was sure my expression was absolutely terrified and scared. I was not even excited. Did I mention scared ? Yes scratch that, I was beyond anything near scared.My hands grabbed the material of the seat and slight moist tickled down the side of my forehead to my cheek. My chest pushing against the material of my now soaked fleece top. I never signed up for this. Well, I did but now that I was here, no, I didn't want to be here at all.

Devin. Warwick Paris was worth all the praises it was given.After so many protests, questions, pushes and few shoves, we're finally settled in our rooms.I still didn't get the point as to why we had to stay with people we don't like.I think this was a bad idea on Mrs jeans part. Well I might not really know if it really was a bad idea but I know that it was intentional I know that that woman just wanted to make the lives of all students within a miles radius of her, a living hell."So which side would you like to take?" Dasher inquired with his head cocked to one side."Okay I take the one on the right and you take the one on the left how about that?"He Shrugged. "Okay anything you say is fine by me at long as I get to get some shut eye."I'll have to agree with him

Morowa.The faint glow of the evening sun baths the room, casting shadows of objects placed strategically around the room, giving it an air of elegance. Twin beds placed directly opposite each other with sheets of the finest cotton and silk covering and decorating them.Bare footed and lacking a top, Heather laid on the bed to the left of the room, eyes closed, taking calming breaths, her chest rising and falling as she took deeper breaths than the last whenever she released the first.She says it's a stress relief technique and I won't argue with her but I know that method just never clicked with me for cl some reason.Every time I try taking calming breaths, things I would rather be doing than sitting and breathing comes to mind and I just stop trying and go dp that instead.My legs and arms spread in eagle pose,

Warren.What on earth was she doing here and why?Oh, I knew the answer to the last one. Trim hips swayed to unheard music when she gave my shoulder a light shove to waltz into further into the room. Gentle clicks emitting from her flats with each step taken."What are you doing here?"That was it. This only confirmed my theory. The Tyler clan really wanted to ruin my life. If Mr. Tyler wanted to settle this, why not settle it directly with my father but oh well, I guess playing games was all the range this season."You know a simple welcome would have been nice." She said. "How about this. Say 'hello Sapphire, I am very delighted to see you after so long."Not a chance. "And why would I say that?""Nothing. Just thought you'd miss me."My patience stretched to the farthest limit,&n

Morowa.I'm never doing that again! I mean could he get any worse?I literally just told him I didn't want to get any cooler and he just decides, I need to 'chill out'."Calm down, Rowa." Val consoled from beside me with a hand placed on my shoulder."And why would I do that?" I question with disbelief. "He just freaking did what I told him not to do.""I know and there's no excuse for that and I'm not defending his actions or anything but I don't want you to do anything you'd regret later." She explains. "We can plan our revenge carefully and swim in satisfaction."That made sense. No use in getting mad and acting in three moment. I'll give him the silent treatment until I carry out my revenge.I raised you better than this, Morowa.Manny was already shaking her head

I grabbed a handful of the sodden earth and sniffed it."I don't think ma would've liked to see you do that," Warren objected. I flicked him off and took another huge whiff of the scent.I heard grunting and after a few pants, felt a touch on my shoulder. His straight face came into view and the orange light behind him created a halo around his head. "You ready?""I'm sure this is what ma would've wanted." I breathed in and tried to relax my stiff shoulders when Warren picked up the ceramic vase.After he settled into the same kneeling position beside me and we just sat in silence. My mind strayed and I felt he did the same.I would never get over what she did. Not fully but I had that mutual understanding that she felt she was protecting us anyway she could. Admittedly not the best decision as this is where it had led us to; her on the other side and both of us hurting and shattered.

Wriggling my toes in the wet sand, I smiled up at the sun feeling like a kid at Christmas. My shades flipped over my eyes and I smiled at the redhead beside me. "You know, you don't have to be so grumpy on the beach.""Uh, yes I do," she said. "Someone has to be the adult here."I smirked and wrapped my hands around her, stopping further movement and eliciting a yelp from her. "Oh yeah?""Yeah." She bent her head to the side. An open invitation and how could I resist? I lowered my head and dropped a kiss on the curve where her neck met her shoulder earning a shiver in return."No need to get all touchy, people!" The shout made Val jerk in my grip and our heads collided at the sudden movement. "Let's try to keep what goes on in the bedroom, in the bedroom please!""Yeah, we have children in our midst so keep it light and PG." Devin backed her up and I could hear them snicker behind us.After our initial shyness after the graduation cere

*ONE MONTH LATER*Wild cheers tore through the field and caps flew in the air as our graduating set hugged each other with wide smiles plastered on their faces."Congratulations!" Warren crushed me into a hug threatening to cut off my blood circulation but I wouldn't have it any other way. "Told you we'd make it."The huge eagle of happiness and pure joy in my heart only allowed me to nod, smiling widely. Before I could say, Jack, Val snatched me away from his side and right into her tight hug. "Omg, we made it, Rowa!""Yes." I squealed with her as we both jumped multiple times while holding hands. "Now you can give my baby brother the kiss he's been dying for.""Shhh." She covered my mouth with her hands, her eyes wide. After peering over my shoulder, she tried to conceal the vivid blush on her cheeks. "Remember I'm taking things slow.""Slow, shmlow," I scoffed waving my hand as if throwing the idea away. "It's just one k

Deep and varying shades of the sun set set the dark brown of his eyes off , the warmth of his palm over mine a silent reassurance he didn't plan in going anywhere anytime soon. His silence said it all while he waited for me to sift through and try to solve the puzzle of emotions clashing against each other, demanding my attention in my mind."Who would've guessed it?"Even with my eyes concentrated on the miniature view of the city below us and the cars, lights, people, movements seemed to take slow motions but I knew they hurried but it made no difference from this distance, I noticed his head tip back and he drew in an audible breath.He didn't give me a response, silently urging me to continue. I sigh and found his hand giving it a small squeeze."Who would've thought my creep would turn out to be this annoying being beside me."That drew a silent chuckle from him and he tightened his hold in my hand. "True." He

Glistening and bouncing light off each other, both rectangular caskets stood beside each other. People gathered around a few feet away from them as we all bowed our heads waiting for the Reverend to say the final prayers.My eyes felt ran out of tears as I held unto my new brother's arm like a life line cause I felt the earth would shift from under me if I let go.I just met her and we hadn't even connected the way a mother and daughter should and this happened. Her eyes, similar to mine, shone in my mind as she smiled up, warding off the chill of the world around me."I'm so sorry.""My deepest condolences.""She was such a strong woman, unfortunate really.""Are you sure they're even really twins, what if the boy was adopted?""What an unusual pair."All whispers, good and bad were directed at us even as we paid our homage to our mother. Hard to believe that she really laid insi

Ariana's voice came out loud in the void silence of my room as I searched for the blasted phone with my eyes closed, raining curses on the person calling me at this time of the night."Warren speaking." I rubbed my eyes still facing the ceiling."Hey son, your mother is having an episode of coughing and is spitting out her guts and we're in the way to the hospital right now, please meet us there beca—." He literally yelled threatening to destroy my ear drums while an engine revved in the background followed by coughs."Dario, the road!" Her warning drowned his voice before a the line dropped with silence."Dario!" The phone bug into my face where I breathed down the mouthpiece praying nothing bad had happened.My hands dailed his number again, my fingers slipping in the wet screen from my sweaty palm. Nothing added up. Zhurah coughing and the line cutting off abruptly?

Different fragrances and colognes mingled and mixed together with the movements of men in suits and women in long or short evening gowns and huge bonnets perched on their heads.At the top of the stairs, her eyes searched the room hoping to meet the only people that mattered to her at the moment. A hand on her shoulder distracted her sight from the massive double doors left ajar with guest spilling in to the vast room to stare into his concerned gaze."They'll be here."Easier to say and harder to believe."I don't know, I'm not worried about Kovu, it's Kara." She glanced at the door again."You still haven't told then their real names have you?""They're not ready."He stepped behind her, nuzzling her before placing a kiss on it. She relaxed into the huge, warm man with a sigh.His head still lowered, he slid his hands over her hips pulling her into him to feel his ha

His head rested against my lap, a comfortable weight while I ran my singers through his thick locks. Who would've thought my creep would be this guy. This intelligent, beautiful, caring guy with the most enchanting eyes."Why are you looking at me like that?""Like how?""Intense." He sat up and faced me on the large couch. "Like I'm gonna vanish into thin air.""What if you do?"His laughter filled the room and I breathed in concentrating on the sound. He didn't get it. Everything that had happened up took this point and he still stood beside me laughing at my question. Might sound cheesy but I couldn't imagine another day without him. Like a drug, he became addictive. My addiction."I won't," he said with conviction. "And even if I did, I'd hold you so I won't disappear alone." "Great plan."We laughed at our little inside joke and I attempted to braid his hair but only came ha

Mary decided to throw a little party to celebrate her united family and maybe bring her children closer to her.No mater how much she demanded their attention, they always acted aloof around her. Of course they paid her the due respect she needed but she wanted more than that.Dario's hands twirled one thick strand of her hair while she was drowned in her thoughts."What is it Amour?" He asked after noticing her absentminded state. "If you don't want to throw the party, it's fine, we can cancel it.""No," she rushed out and bit on her lip. "That's not the case."He changed his position so he could squat in front of her. "Then what is it?"Mary sighed. She wasn't planning on spoiling his mood or anything but it was chewing in her insides and threatening to reduce hey to nothing is she didn't speak."It's just I can't help but feel like my children don't want to get closer to me."His wor
