Sapphire For a moment, I doubted if I heard him right. I can't come to a conclusion right? Sean cannot be the person he's talking about. "Sean Lanter, the guy you love, is your nightmare, Sapphire." He said I refused to comprehend what he wanted to convey. It can't be. "Are you freaking out of your mind?" I said. "How did you even think I'll buy that shit-" "I knew you wouldn't believe me, sapphire." He said. "He's got you in his spell. You don't see anything negative about him. After all, he is the guy you are in love with." I didn't care how he knew about my feelings towards Sean. The only thing that bothered me right now is how he was even thinking I would believe him. He surely has something planned and I will not fall for his crap. More over, he claims that he is Parker's brother. He can be doing it for his own revenge. "I find it rather difficult to believe what you're saying, Toby. Why wouldn't you say this if it paves a good way to take revenge from Sean? But sadly, I am
Sean I tapped my foot against the accelerator of my car. The cool air was filling the car and I smelled my own cologne in it. I was looking at the traffic signal to turn green and allow me to go past these vehicles. I sighed as I thought of what happened back there. I left the cafeteria early to deal with Parker. After finishing my business with him, I went back to the cafeteria and looked for Sapphire. She wasn't there. I checked the library and other places but she wasn't found. Nina checked the washroom but damn, she was completely out of our sight. She had history next so went there to check but surprisingly, she wasn't there. I sent her multiple message, which were obviously not answered. I later learned that she waz not in school. I was mad. I was angry too, she couldn't just skip classes and leave. She knows Parker and all are in the school and they can do anything to her and she's not bothered about it. I thought she'd go home but I wasn't sure. I didn't want to cause a
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
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
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
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
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
Bonus chapter 1Sapphire"Jessie, baby girl, where are you?" I cried out for our little baby as I walked into the living room.I sighed when I didn't find her there too. 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.

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
