Staring back and forth from the logged in page to tinder on my laptop, I flipped the pancakes with the saucepan with my hand.I had already started a conversation with a local farmer on the dating site and I stared in anticipation, waiting for his next reply.
I was absurdly attracted to person on the other side of the keyboard even though I had never met him
-i did hope to one day.
So when a notification sprung with the signature tinder tune, I totally abandoned my almost done pancakes, walking over to the laptop.
Marc: sorry, i was sort of busy. Miss me that much?
And soon, I found myself smiling at the monitor, and it was at the smell of something burned that I rushed over to the pancakes.
"Don't burn the pancakes" Mother said as she handed me kitchen gloves to hold unto the heated handle.
"Mum, you have a

"There" I whispered as I finished the touches of the home made pumpkins."Happy halloween, love" His shill whisper pierced my ear as his arms wrapped around mine, staining my bright red dress. "Eww, your dirty" I said, taking his hands of my clothes."Well, your grandmother said I trim the gardens. Sorry for being a good son in law" He said before I pushed him away with a smile. "Ohh.

WULegs crossed on each other, my eyes navigated each face that they wore with their chairs voluntarily forming a circle. Lydia's face turned to both sides as she flashed a smile as a sign of greeting.Her gaze suddenly halted on me before she opened her mouth to speak."Wu" She softly called with a smile."Don't you have something to say?" She asked as I uncrossed my legs, sitting up."Well, i feel i have to now. I didn't figure you'd remember" I said as I maintained a lopsided smirk."Tomorrow makes it thirty days" I said it casually followed by a few murmurs.

The disciplinary board had emailed me, they had come to a decision regarding the cheating scandal and whether or not, I could complete my final year examinations."It's going to be fine. That can't terminate admission, you're a star student" He said as he adjusted my hair that peeped through my silver colored hijab-shiny, but for good luck.I wore it the day i applied for the scholarship that got me to where i was, today.

The noises of the impaled my ears, slowly sulking me into a form of hypnosis to telling the truth as I began to zone out."Ms Baie" His voice dashed me back to reality as I just stared like a deadbeat, my hands slumped tightly in the handcuffs. Soon, life was a heavy cross to bear.I didn't sleep, I couldn't sleep."You want to tell us the truth now?" The investigators that oversaw the arrests asked, now comfortably sitting opposite me.My eyelids were heavy, begging to be closed as my uncle just nodded as a form of reassurance."I've come to a deal" Douglas s

MARIAI halted in the lot before i put down my windows-"Hey" I called her attention before they opened the doors to come in.Her clothes were different, she was out of those orange uniforms but her mood changed. Evidently stuck on her face was a frown, one i could was of disappointment."Jacq" I called, looking into the rear view mirror once she settled and she just looked away."Please, just move" She whispered, not even turning to look at me. "Just move?" I echoed as her elbows rested on the window frame before i sighed."I ran across miami to pick you up and i thought the least i could get was a greeting" I remarked before i ignited the engines. "She had a rough time. She'll get over it" Her uncle replied as i reversed to the roads.I hope despite everything, this was the last time she ever stepped her foot in here.****

And then in a spontaneous moment of trying to break free, i kicked as hard as I could, pushing both of us to the ground.We both struggled to stand as he reached for the knife that fell to the ground while I made an attempt to run free.I was weak, having already being stabbed as I staggered to the edge of the balcony, before suddenly i felt the weight of hands around my lips, allowing me to trip over.

WUGazing over my shoulders cautiously, i still stirred my brewing cup of tea in the awkward silence-only the metal tea spoon stirring against the sides of my mug as our eyes caught.With some sort of disgust, she still looked away, having no words for me still. My grandmother and I seldomly got along but her judgemental silence was nothing you'd wish to deal with."I'm gay"I had told her before her eyes gestured a million words her lips couldn't speak. "You know I'm just gay, i didn't murder" I finally muttered, not looking away from the swirling of freshly brewed tea."Just gay?" She echoed with a sigh that seemed to unburden her shoulders."I'm not less of your granddaughter neither am I less of a woman because I'm gay" I immediately snapped, almost angered."So have you known this all your life and you just decided to drop this on m-"

"You're contracting, baby's coming out soon" You could hear the sound of her hands against the gloves.Jacqueline's head was tilted and her eyes faced the ceiling, refusing to look at Harry who was barely holding himself together in his blue scrubs and the napkin he had against her sweaty forehead.She was weak, feeble as if it were her first time. She couldn't believe she'd have another this soon, and all she could hear was the sound of their voices the night they talked about it.NINE MONTHS AGOThere was still a box lying on the kitchen counter.

You could hear his brief chuckles and my loud giggles as i almost tripped.He halted to catch me in his hands. His arms wrapped around me as the winds breezed into my face, swaying my hair to the sides. I wore a smile on my face as it all moved slowly——i was here, not mentally but in this exact moment. Physically, in a short white dress and a veil that had fallen along the aisle. And i wanted to stay here. I wanted to always be here.He gripped me a little hard that it began to tickle and i pushed him away to the ground before making a run for it. I ran towards where the sun was setting and where i could still see Maria and the other people and the wedding canopy that we had set.Just a few of us, family.

WUI had always wanted to bring her flowers, but not like this, not at her grave. It was shimmering with snow that dropped to the ground.And my boots were buried in it whilst i stared at the red flower i had dropped it. I looked to the chair that was beside, snow on the seats before i sat in. My gloved hands wrapped my elbows as i moved my head warmer. Each breath i took gave accompanied with a chill. It was freezing out here.But i didn’t care. I just wanted to see her.“Anyways Fox is going to spend time. Life probably, i just don’t want to know or get myself involved in anything like that” I said, as if we had been talking for a long time. Silence dawned as i looked to the gatekeeper. He was already used to me coming here since the past few months and talking to a corpse. I wasn’t crazy, he knew it.He would often say how i wasn’t the only person that came here to do it. The truth is,

JACQUELINETWO MONTHS LATER"The loss of a someone close to us is perhaps one of the deepest and most sensitive we will ever come to experience. It can be difficult to process these emotions and work through the stages of grief" I had started out, calm as if i’d gotten my emotions in check. You could hardly believe that i was the same one that broke out in tears a while ago.I cleared my throat, staring Wu in the eyes, who had nodded to give me a sort of encouragement. I then breathed heavily before i carried on."To say Aaliyah was selfless would be an understatement— She was more and to a lot of us, even more. She tried her best to brighten our lives even when she was living in the dark" I paused.I had read all the articles to prevent me from crying when i passed the eulogy. I had read about remembering to breathe, eating befo

WUEverywhere was silent, the door had finally stopped swinging as the nurse went back out. The same nurse that had wheeled me in. I sat in my chair in front of the bed in which she was laid open.The nurse had raised the sheets over her head but i was sure that she was listening. I had hoped that she was listening.Jade.Tears overwhelmed my eyes before they fell down my cheeks. The tears that were more than enough to ache the throat and make the voice disappear. I searched for the words to say as i finally saw her unconscious body, laying across the bed. I didn’t know it was going to be this hard to do this.“J—” I couldn’t get passed the first letter of her name as my voice quivered. I was shaking, as i buried my face into the tissue in my hands. I snorted in it before heaving in a deep breath.“Hey Jade” I broke into uncontrollabl

I could hear my slow groans as i was intubated.But alas, my eyes were open and i could see Leila walking slowly towards me with Wu beside her and the only question asides who wouldn't have thought——Was the inevitable one of whether or not i was willing to let go. But the choice was not up to me.If not, maybe i would have chosen to stay and then my eyes fell her. With whom i shared so much of a striking resemblance with. Who would've thought?My own sister, Ayeesha.-There was a light that flashed behind my eyes. The light, before my eyes shut wide open. Dele was beside me and Diane, and Wu.“I’m so glad you’re awake” Dele said, clenching my p

JACQUELINEAaliyah walked towards the door, twisting the knob to slide the lock out of place. I could see her shadows from beneath her door. It had approached after knowing merely twice. And then the door swung open to reveal her in an apron——and a half wide smile. “Jacqueline, now what are you doing here?” She asked, sticking the tips of her fingers into her mouth. “I just came to see you” I replied as i walked in, closing the door behind me.NOWI walked in, brushing shoulders with the sheriff that was just about to take his leave from Wu’s room. I trailed him with the corner of my eyes as the door closed behind him. They were scattered around the halls i had noticed. And Wu was seated up, against her pillow which was against the wall.She looked better.She was better. She had a bandage wrapped around her left wrist and one around
