Sapphire

I wriggled around in my bed for a quarter hour before I decided to get my ass out of it.

Sean promised me that he would take me to Nina's house today. If there is another person that deserves an apology, then that would be Nina. I have been anything but nice to her. She wanted to be there for me. She tried to pull me out of the trap that I was paving for myself. But I'd didn't listen. She tried. But I failed her. I not only failed her trust but I failed out friendship. And I had to build my strength to face her.

Though it is surprising that she is still mad at me even after knowing what has happened to me, I should care less about it right now. Because after all, I am like this because I didn't listen to her.

I had pushed everything away and suddenly my new friends were allied. I left behind everything for them and it is indeed very stupid of me to do that. I deserve this. I deserve every bit of this for the foolishness that I still carried.

    Sapphire "I am so sorry, Sapphire." "Hey, it's okay." "Really, I'm such an awful friend!" "It's okay, you didn't know, right?" "But still, I should have been more persuasive. I knew you were stupid and I still let them get you." "Hey!" "I don't know if I even deserve an apology from you. My negligence has a worse impact than yours." "It's okay. I don't mind, really." "I'll make it up for you. I will even let you borrow my lunch tomorrow-" "Nina?" "Yea?" "Shut up." "Okay." Sean said there was an interesting cafe in the next street that offers coffee in a very modest charge. I instantly agreed on that because standing on a street and discussing our school's gossip is unhealthy. There are so many people that might hear us. Sean said he doesn't care if the prices are high, but it pulls me back to see him pay so much on my food. So, when we did reach there, Sean asked Brett if he wanted to join us. More like, informed him that we're out. And Brett couldn't resist himself. Bu

    Sapphire I dragged my suitcase out of my room and pulled it through the stairs. It comfortably slid through it and landed with a thud on the ground. I hushed to myself and took careful steps down and straightened the suitcase. And then, moving over to the front I started pulling it toward me, stepping back slowly. I hit my back with the main door, and didn't realise it until it happened. Sean's impatient honks were heard through the thick door and I opened it with a close proximity to hit my head. When my face was finally thrown out of the door, I scowled at him in response. But I highly doubt he could even see that though his windows glass up since his annoying honks never ended. I quickly put the note I wrote for Juliette on the adjoining table and pulled my suitcase out of the door. As I involuntarily swiped the little sweat forming across my forehead, I slowly shut the door and locked it. I checked it for assurance and turned around. I dragged the bag down with great difficulty

    Sapphire When I was told we're going to a summer house, I thought it would be cute little house alongside a beach with a small gate and a room for a short family. But it was nothing like what I imagined it to be. To say it's huge is an understatement. I doubt if we can note it as a summer house because it's almost like a mansion. Not a huge royal paintings kinda mansion but bright technology kinda mansion. Both the ways it was a mansion. I felt Sean's fingers closing my jaw up, that has been gaping at the sight before me for the past 10 seconds. "I didn't know a summer house could be this beautiful." I said. "This is not the summer house, pretty girl." He said, with a chuckle. "What?" I asked. "This is where my grandparents live when they need their alone time. It's their holiday place most of the time when they aren't fine to travel around the world kicks in." "Why did we come here?" "We're going to stay here for tonight and start to the summer house tomorrow in the morning

    Sapphire I got a bit too enthusiastic for our next date and ranted a few random excuses for Peach to believe my urgency to leave her. Ofcourse she was insistent to know about the awkwardness of the situation but I made sure I acted well in front of her that she would have no clue about what we're up to. I asked Sean for help to convince Peach but he just flipped it off. He said he couldn't care less about the whole matter and asked me to feed some noses into her brain. But that's not that easy to do. Peach might act like a kid, but she is very smart. She can sense if anyone is lying and would quickly sense the fishy thing. Though it is good to have her here and she's very good at heart, it's very difficult to keep up with her. She talks a lot and she has so much in her mind that I'm afraid that I'll fail to keep up with her. And back to where I was, I hurriedly walked from the gallery and headed to the stairs. In my over enthusiasm, I took two steps at once and tripped over the las

    Sean Her face lit up like the night sky. She widened her eyes as her face broke into a huge grin. She looked dreamily at me and then back at the muffin I was holding. Though it was a small thing, she seemed pretty happy with it. I silently took out my Polaroid and captured the face while she looked up at the fireworks a few moments back. When she finally did land her eyes on mine, the genuine smile spread across my face made the moment even more magical. It's so unfair she can look so beautiful without any effort. She hardly tries to put make up, or anything for that matter. Yet she manages to make me fall for her every moment I look at here. The love that I have for her drives me insane. It's not just once, that I fell for her. She can effortlessly male any man fall on his knees. She creates an aura around her that no one can resist. "You knew it?" She asked, incredulously. Darling, I've been in love with you for a long time. "Of course." I said, carefully picking my words. "

    Sapphire."How's it?" Sean whispered into my ear, making a tingling sensation.We were right now standing on the deck of the ferry, on the top most floor, while the rest of the family stayed down.After our little make out session in Sean's room, my face was all flushed with red. Though his warning seemed intimidating, I can't refuse to say that it was tempting.We got down and met Julia. She's changed plans and came here directly to travel with us.We soon got into the ferry and set off. Everything was going fine and his family greeted me, and that's when Sean decided to pull me up.I warned him I don't want to get caught making out by their family but he just waved it off and dragged me up.As soon as I climbed my last step, he sealed my eyes with his hands and said he wanted to show me something.He guided me to a certain place, carefully taking small steps with me. He slowly took his hand off my eyes."Amazing." I breathed out, looking at the view before me."I knew it." I could fe

    "You have been very rude." She corrected me. "Okay, I have been very rude but that's not the point. She knows I'm doing it for her. Why the hell can't she get that?" "I don't blame her for this, Sean. You were being unreasonable to her." "Mom, not you too. You know I care a lot about her. That's it exactly why I'm doing this." "I am not denying that you don't care about her. It's just that you care a lot about her. It's not healthy for any relationship. You are way too demanding. " "Mom, you really think it great to fight over a freaking friend?" "Exactly. It is not even a valid excuse to fight over something. Then why are you making a fuss out of it? Why can't you just let it go." "I can't mom." "Why the hell not?" "Because she is acting like miserable. She's sick." "And what is that sickness that is making you act like the world's coming to an end?" I didn't reply with the same speed I did for her past comments. "Sean." My mom breathed out. "I know you care about her. You

    Sapphire As I stepped inside the house, the warmth enveloped me in its heat. The water flowed down my body, tapping against the floor as I walked. Sean, on the other hand, was not close to my condition. He was wet, yes, but not soaking wet. His clothes stuck to his body, and he might be feeling cold too but the heater in the car drew the moisture from his body for the maximum part. And, I was still looking like I took a shower but forgot to strip my clothes off. I was shuddering and Sean's huge coat over my back isn't really helping me. When we got inside, I wasn't surprised to see Julia pacing across the room with a mobile pressed to her ear. She halted when she heard the door open and gazed at us. Relief washed across her face at the look of both of us, but her worry never left her face. She mumbled something to herself as she rushed to us. "What - where did you go?" She asked, as she held my arms by her hands and rubbing against it to infinite heat into my body. "I.. I just

    SapphireThe sun has just sunk below the horizon as my phone ringed to the side. I snuggled closer into covers and buried myself in the warmth, reluctant to open my eyes to the darkness. I felt an arm over my shoulder and a pair of eyes watching me in darkness.The bed shifted onto my side and I heard a small voice."Hello?" She said in a low voice."Baby girl, is that you?" Sean's voice was heard from the speaker. A warm smile spread across my face at his voice."Daddy!" Sarah said in an excited tone. "Why are you calling at this time? You know we shouldn't disturb mommy.""I'm sorry baby, I forgot." Sean chuckled. "What is mommy doing?""She's sleeping." She whispered. "When are you coming back home?""I'll be coming home in a few hours, baby girl." He said. "Are you taking good care of mommy while I'm away? And how is your little brother doing?""My little brother is being a very bad boy." I heard our 3 year old daughter say, "He's always kicking mommy in the tummy. I think he foun

    After I had lunch, and Sean just sat quietly stately at me because he's not supposed to eat anything, we headed to the game.We needed to report a couple of hours earlier because Sean is in the team. He left me in the VIP waiting room, and headed to his team.The only time I got to see him was when he was about to leave to play the game."Are you still mad?" He asked me, cupping my face.I didn't know what to say. Should I stop pretending?"Can I get a good luck kiss?" He asked me, looking hopeful.It took a while for me to analyse the situation and reply, but before I could say anything, Sean's face saddened and he shook his head."It's okay.." he said, pulling me into a hug. He let go of me after a few seconds and started walking back into the ground."Wait!" I yelled for him. He stopped in his step and turned around.I quickly walked to him and kissed him on the lips. "Don't ruin your game for me. I love you."He grinned and pulled me into a deep kiss. "I love you too.""I wasn't a

    Sapphire So today was just like every other day in my life. Atleast, it wasn't the same for Sean. Well, to be very honest, today is the day I decided to grace this planet by my birth. I was pushed out of my mom's womb today. When I was a kid, my parents used to tale me out with them, with Julliete being the kid who enjoyed the priveleges with me, to celebrate my birthday. It used to simple, we'd roam around, I'd cut the cake and then dad would plan a dinner for all of us. But eventually that came to end when my mom left us, and my dad left me. Since then, until now, it was only Juliette and I that remained. Julliete would bake a cake, which always ended either burnt or too raw, but I would just smile and compliment her that it was amazing. Everything changed in my life when Sean entered. My life became like a fidget spinner. He control it only his fingers. Just like the spinner, I would occasion fall down in miseries, but Sean being the guy that's good at everything, never let th

My head fell back in tiredness. Jessie is always active and is always hiding from her momma.I walked into our backyard and looked around. I smiled when I glanced at my 7 months old baby crawling on the floor.I went to her and picked her up. She lifted her tail up and started licking my hand. We adopted Jessie a few months ago, right after Sean and I moved in together.Since Sean was always at practice and was always roaming around the world for his games, he decided we should get a dog to keep me company. But honestly speaking, he bought it so it could ensure my safety while he's away.I quickly headed back and closed the door that led to the back yard.

    SapphireMy eyes remain closed as Nina fixed my eye shadow. I was completely ready until dad came and we had a family moment.He said my mom would be so proud of me and so happy for me if she were alive. I didn't realise I was crying until Nina yelled on top of her voice that I was spoiling my make up.She was so mad at me for being so irresponsible and not worrying about my wedding."I don't understand how you could do that. I worked so hard on it!" She protested as she tried to fix my make up."It's okay. I know you can fix it back.." I encouraged her."Shut up. I know I can do it but it won't be the same. It was so perfect in the beginning.""It'll be even more amazing now." I said."I can't believe how you can remain so calm. It's your wedding! Aren't you worried about your appearance?""No." I said. "I don't care how I look, because I know, Sean's going to marry me anyway.""Good that he's in love with you." Chloe said.I learned that Parker didn't go easy on her because she was

    Sean I weakly smiled to myself and leaned back on the couch. I closed my wallet, taking on last glance at our first date picture. Our High School love still seems so fresh in my mind that it involuntarily brings a smile across my face. Ten years have passed and it's finally going to be our wedding. I still remember our graduation, our universities, our long distant relationship. Nothing has changed. We've remained firm together, and walked past all the hurdles that life planned for us. We emerged out with the same love we began with. Our love, through the years, has learned to grow stronger and restrained all our efforts from breaking it. Today, when I look back at the times in our universities, I really wonder how we could stay apart for those years. My university was in West coast and Sapphire's was in East. We knew our dreams wouldn't come in the way of our relationships. Maybe it's our love that made us become what we dreamed to become. I'm now a changed man, that now plays fo

    No. No. No. Shit. I quickly retreated from the window and hurried to my sweater. It was lying beside my bed on the desk. I quickly grabbed it and wore it over my head. Opening my door, I ran out. I hurried down the stairs and headed to the main door. Before I opened the door, I grabbed umbrella. The water droplets fell on my face I went out. I quickly tried to open it but it wasn't. Cursing, I threw it away and ran to him. He stood there rooted to his place, as the water drenched him. I wonder how long he's been standing like that. The water dripped down his face, his clothes stuck to his body. He got rid of his bandages. "What the hell are you doing?!" I yelled on top of my voice as I approached him. I pushed him with my hands but he doesn't budge. "Are you insane? It's freezing out here!" I said, the water drenching me. He doesn't speak anything, infuriating me even more. I shake my head as the pouring becomes heavy. I catch hold of his wrist and pull him. "Get inside." I

    After a few days. I was back to my home after school. I had managed to submit my projects and assignments and took the quizzes and tests that I'd missed. My grades have fallen back to normal. I was doing well in chemistry and my teacher was pretty pleased. All these days, I tried to forget everything that happened to me in the past few weeks. I succeeded in my attempts. I was good at getting over this pretty easily because I knew there wasn't any possibility of hope. Hope is merely a word that makes people trust in false beliefs. It's a barrier that stops you from moving on. All these days, I haven't caught sight of Sean. He didn't turn up to school. And he didn't call. Brett occasionally talks to me about Sean's progress in health. He was doing well. And Sean heard a different story from his family. They told them I didn't want to see his face anymore since I still hate him. I wasn't shocked at that one. He has to move on too. And maybe, his family might have gotten nothing el

    I don't know what would happen if I stay here any longer. It would be the worst choice for the both of us. "Sapphire, wait!" Sean's voice came from behind as he followed me. I hastened my steps so that he wouldn't catch up with me. It's better if we get time to think over things. We shouldn't hurry into anything at this point of time. It is crucial for the both of us and I don't want to make the mistakes that have already been done. The damage ha been caused I'm scared it'll take a lot of time to heal things back. As I exited the park, I briskly walked onto the pavement. Sean was still shouting my name and I had to hasten my speed further me. He shouldn't ask me to stay, please. I need time. I walked away to the footpath and the people around me started to take notice of me. Oh no, I don't want people to notice this. I ran onto the road and hurried to the other end, hoping they'd leave me. Hoping Sean would leave me. But, it happened in a flash.I heard a blazing sound of horn
