As I got into Felix's car, I felt my body relax. The graduation ceremony was tiring, and I just wanted to rest. Felix must have noticed because he held my hand and asked if I was okay. I smiled at him, feeling grateful that he was there with me.
We drove in silence for a while, but it was comfortable. I watched the city pass us by, the buildings and people disappearing into the background. It was a beautiful day, the sun shining bright, and the air crisp and cool. I couldn't help but think about how lucky I was to have Felix in my life."Are you excited about your graduation, Felix?" I asked him, breaking the silence.He smiled, "I am. But I'm more excited to have you there with me."I blushed, feeling my heart skip a beat. "Of course, I'll be there. I wouldn't miss it for the world."As we continued driving, I leaned my head on Felix's shoulder, feeling his warmth and the rhythm of his breathing...As Felix drove the car through the city streets, I g
I felt so worried and anxious as the doctors explained the need for more tests to determine Isla's illness. Seeing her lying in the hospital bed, looking so weak and fragile, broke my heart. I couldn't imagine what she was going through and I wished I could do something to help her. I held her hand tightly, trying to offer her some comfort and support.As the doctors left to prepare for the tests, I turned to my aunt and hugged her tightly, feeling grateful for her concern and care for Isla. We both prayed for Isla's recovery and hoped that the tests would provide some answers and lead to the right treatment. It was a difficult and uncertain time, but I knew we had to stay strong and hopeful for Isla's sake.I went home at around 12pm to prepare for Felix and red's graduation. I wanted to sleep so badly, but I can't miss their graduation ceremony. I also can't wait to meet Felix's familyAs I was getting ready, my mind was racing with thoughts about the grad
I packed my bags and made sure to bring some books and my laptop to keep me entertained during the trip. As we hit the road, I can't help but feel a bit sad about leaving Felix behind. But I was also looking forward to spending time with my family and taking a break from city life.During the ride, my aunt and I caught up on things, and I updated her on how Felix and I are doing. She seems pleased to hear that we are still going strong. Isla was sleeping in the back seat, and I couldn't help but worry about her. But I know that being with my family would make her feel better.As we arrived at their hometown, I was greeted by familiar faces and a lot of warm hugs. I felt so happy to be back here, even for a short while. It was great to reconnect with old friends and be reminded of the good memories I had here.I spent most of my days helping my aunt with chores. At night, I would usually sit outside and watch the stars, appreciating the calmness and simplicity of t
I couldn't wait to tell Felix about Nathan, my new friend from Isla's hometown. I dialed his number and waited for him to answer."Hey, babe. How's everything going?" Felix's voice came through the phone."Hey, Felix. Everything's going great, but I have some exciting news to tell you," I said with a smile."Okay, what is it?" Felix asked, curious."I made a new friend in Isla's hometown. His name is Nathan, and he's really cool. We've been hanging out a lot," I told Felix, excited to share the news with him."That's great, Iris. I'm glad you're making new friends. What's he like?" Felix asked."He's really funny and smart. He's also really easy to talk to. We've been talking a lot about our future plans, and it's been really interesting," I said, feeling grateful for Nathan's friendship."Well, I'm happy for you, Iris. It's important to have good friends," Felix said, sounding supportive."Yeah, it really is. I can't wait for you to meet him
I sat on the couch, my mind still reeling from the news that Xefora was disbanding. I couldn't believe it was happening. I had put so much time and energy into the band, and now it was all falling apart.Feeling overwhelmed, I picked up my phone and dialed Iris' number. I needed to talk to someone. Someone who would understand what I was going through."Hey, Iris," I said as soon as she answered. "Can I come to see you? I need to talk to someone.""Of course, Felix," Iris replied. "What's going on? Is everything okay?"I sighed heavily, unsure of where to start. "It's Xefora," I began. "We got some news today that we're disbanding. It's all over.""Oh no, Felix," Iris said sympathetically. "I'm so sorry to hear that. Of course, you can come over. I'm here for you."I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. It was comforting to know that Iris was there for me. "Thanks, Iris," he said. "I'll be there tomorrow morning."_________________
I felt overjoyed as I watched Felix run around the yard, chasing after the playful dog, Isla's family pet. Seeing Felix's face light up in pure happiness brought a smile to my face. It's been a while since I saw him this carefree, and it made me feel so happy to be with him.I decided to join in the fun and ran with the two boys, laughing as they playfully chased each other. Felix was always so full of energy, and it was contagious. I felt grateful for moments like this, where we could just let loose and enjoy each other's company.As we took a break, Felix playfully ruffled my hair, and I couldn't help but laugh at his silly antics.

He was strong and resilient, even in the face of his parent's disapproval. I hoped that he would find a way to pursue his dreams and make himself happy.ISLA'S P
Nathan and I were walking together in a park when she decided to bring up the topic of Isla."So, Nathan, what do you think about Isla?" I asked, trying to keep her tone casual.Nathan looked at me quizzically. "What do you mean?" he asked."I mean, what do you think of her as a person?" I clarified. "Do you think she's a good friend?"Nathan nodded. "Yeah, of course. Isla's been my friend for a long time, and she's always been there for me. I appreciate her a lot."I smiled, feeling relieved. "That's good to hear. And what about her looks? Do you find her attractive?"Nathan's cheeks flushed slightly, but he kept his composure. "Well, I think Isla has a very pretty face. It's kind of angelic, you know?"I grinned, feeling giddy at the thought that Nathan found Isla attractive. I decided to push a little further. "Have you ever thought about Isla in a romantic way?"Nathan's expression grew serious. "I don't want to ruin our friendship, Iris. Isla mea
As I looked out the window of the car, I felt a tinge of sadness in my chest. I had grown accustomed to the quiet and peaceful life in the suburb, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I also enjoyed spending time with Isla and our family and seeing Felix happy playing with our younger cousins.But now, we were heading back to the reality of their city lives. I knew that school and other responsibilities awaited me, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. However, I also felt grateful for the time I had spent in the suburb, and the memories she had made with Isla, Felix, and our families.I turned to Isla, who was sitting beside me and smiled. Despite the bittersweet feeling of leaving, I was glad to have shared this experience with her cousin. We talked about their favorite moments of the trip and promised to visit the suburb again soon.As the car entered the city limits, I took a deep breath and prepared myself for the busy day
As Isla's best friend and cousin, I was devastated when I read the results of her tests. Leukemia. The word echoed in my head, a dark and ominous cloud looming over everything. I felt tears prick at the corners of my eyes, but I held them back, not wanting to add to Isla's distress.I knew Isla was a fighter, but the news was still heavy. It was difficult to process the fact that my cousin was facing a serious illness. All I wanted to do was hold her and tell her that everything was going to be okay, even though I knew deep down that it wasn't going to be that easy.But I also knew that Isla was a strong person and that she had a lot of people who loved and cared for her. I vowed to be there for her every step of the way, no matter what the future held.I sat there, feeling helpless as I listened to Isla's sobs coming from the other side of the door. My heart ached for her, and I wished that there was something I could do to take away her pain.But I knew
As Felix and I walked along the sandy beach, I couldn't help but feel a sense of peace wash over me. The sound of the waves crashing against the shore was soothing, and the warm sun on my skin felt invigorating.Felix and I had come to the beach for a much-needed break from our busy lives, and I was grateful for this moment of respite.We strolled along the shoreline, our feet sinking into the sand with every step. Felix reached over and took my hand, his fingers lacing with mine."Isn't this amazing?" he said, his voice filled with wonder.I nodded, smiling. "It's so peaceful here. I feel like I could stay here forever."We walked in comfortable silence for a while, watching as the seagulls flew overhead and the waves rolled in. I could feel my mind clearing, my worries and stress melting away with every passing moment.Felix suddenly let go of my hand and ran towards the water, laughing. I followed him, the cool water washing over my feet as I splashed in the waves.We played like k

I could hear the sounds of instruments being tuned and microphones being tested, and I could feel the energy in the air.Red spotted us as we entered the backstage area, and his face lit up with a smile. "Hey, guys!" he said, coming over to greet us. "You made it!"I hugged him tightly, feeling a sense of pride and admiration for my talented friend.

"We're excited to see you perform, man," he said.Red gave us a quick tour of the backstage area, showing us where the performers would be getting ready and where the instruments were being stored.

As I sat in the small studio watching Red and Felix practice the song they had created for Red's upcoming concert, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. Both of them were so talented and watching them work together was like witnessing magic in action.Red's voice was powerful and soulful, and it blended perfectly with Felix's guitar playing. They were both completely immersed in the music, with their eyes closed and their bodies swaying to the rhythm.I sat there quietly, not wanting to disturb them as they worked on perfecting the song. It was clear that they were both passionate about the music and dedicated to making it sound just right.As they finished playing the song, Red opened his eyes and looked over at me, a small smile on his face. "What do you think, Iris?" he asked."It's amazing," I replied, my voice filled with admiration. "You guys sound incredible together."Felix turned towards me, his eyes shining with excitement. "We've been working on it for weeks," he said. "
I felt a mixture of excitement and nerves as I and Felix arrived at his parent's house with their two children in tow. It had been a while since we had last visited, and she couldn't help but wonder if things would be awkward between them after all that had happened.But as soon as we walked through the door, any fears I had quickly dissipated. Felix's parents, who were waiting eagerly at the entrance, embraced them both warmly and were quick to fuss over their grandchildren. The kids, in turn, were thrilled to see their grandparents again and immediately launched into telling them about all the things they had been up to since their last visit.Watching Felix's parents dote on the children brought a smile to my face. It was clear how much they adored their grandchildren and how happy they were to have them around.

I sat on the edge of the bed, my fingers tapping nervously against my thigh. I looked up at Felix, who was sitting across from me, his expression serious. He had just asked me if I was ready to try for another child, and I had agreed, but she couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled in my stomach.It wasn't that I didn't want another child. In fact, I had been hoping for one for a long time. I loved our daughter so much, and I longed to give her a sibling. But the process of trying to conceive had been difficult the first time around, and I was afraid of being disappointed if we failed to make another child.Felix reached across the bed and took my hand. "I know you're worried, love," he said softly. "But we've done this before. We know what we're doing."I nodded, but my mind was still racing. I couldn't help but remember the months of disappointment we had faced the first time around. We had tried everything, from tracking my ovulation to taking fertility supplements, b
It was a bright and sunny Saturday afternoon when I received a text from Max inviting me to Leo's first birthday party. I was excited to be a part of this special celebration.

MAX POINT OF VIEWI sat in the doctor's office, my heart pounding in my chest. My mind was racing with thoughts of what could be wrong with me. The doctor's words echoed in my head: "There's something in your stomach, Max."My stomach churned as I waited for the doctor to explain further. Was it cancer? A tumor? I had heard so many horror stories about people being diagnosed with serious illnesses, and I couldn't shake the fear that I might be one of them.The doctor's voice brought me back to reality. "We need to run some tests to determine what it is," she said. "It could be something minor, but we need to be sure."I nodded, barely able to speak. Fear had taken hold of me, and I felt completely out of control. I couldn't bear the thought of being sick, of having to go through treatments and surgeries.As I left the doctor's office, I felt like I was in a daze. Everything around me seemed hazy and distorted, and I couldn't focus on anything except my fear. I tried to call my partner
