2020-06-25 02:11:57∆ Adalyn's p.o.v ∆
The souvenir is far back from college but it is almost as if it occured yesterday since I remember every minor details as clear as day.
"You did what?" Isaac asked in frustration
"It was not even that obvious!" I tried my best to defend my cause
"I don't know if I should thank you or hate you to death." He said grabbing my shoulders in his wide hands and shaking me a little almost as if he wanted me to realize the situation.
I only blinked in confusion and looked at him in the eyes confusion written all over my face. Trust me I was more than down to earth than ever when I accidentally gave a hint to Amber that Isaac might or might not like her in some sort of way. I wouldn't say I am clueless but...
Okay, maybe I am clueless in some situations but this is the magnificent results of the lack of human interactions.
I was sitting at lunch with Amber by my side who was munching on some unknown substance. It looked green and had a nice smell to it. I didn't ask further questions on her choice of meal and instead admired how she looks at Isaac in astonishment as if he is a god when he marked a point... If this is the right term sporty people use.
I took a sip of my ice cold water which make my teeth clatter just a little. Even with the freezing weather I would rather drink icing water rather than some hot tea or coffee. I've always preferred cold things. Icy scents, cold drinks and even cold weather.
"Eyeing him from afar will not help." I find myself saying to Amber in an amused tone
She looks back at me surprised and cheeks lightly flushed.
"I was not starring!"
"I can't believe I am the one identified as clueless!" I said without even thinking first and this is when the "accident" took place.
She looked at me with her eyebrows furrowed and I quickly packed my belongings and came up with an excuse to avoid her questions about what I meant exactly and also to stop Isaac from ripping my head off. I rushed out of the cafeteria and could hear Isaac's voice repeating my name over and over again.
When he found me, I told him what I accidentally mentioned to Amber and the look on his face was priceless.
I tried to contain my laughter from erupting at any moment from the way he was slowly pacing back and forth in front of me trying to find a solution so Amber doesn't find out.
"I think I have the best idea." I exclaimed with a smile nearly reaching my eyes.
"Really?" He told me his eyes full of relief
"Tell her the truth!"
"You know damn well I can't" He sighed
When I notice Amber coming behind Isaac I didn't say anything and instead motioned for her to stop in her tracks and she obeyed even though she was confused. Isaac had his head burried in his hands and kept frowning. Then an idea popped in my head. I smiled proudly and told Isaac to tell me what he likes about Amber. He kept confessing to me. I am like a treasure chest to the pair. They tell me everything and anything and every time I make sure they wouldn't regret their decisions.
He kept going on and on about her and I could see a wide smile form on Amber's face along with blushed cheeks. Isaac ended his speech by saying he knew Amber was out of his league and telling her the truth would do more bad than good.
"What if I told you that she feels the same way..." I said taking a step closer to Isaac
"What if I tell you that she compliments you just kike you did..." And another step closer
"What if I told you that she knows how you feel but before that was as clueless as you..." I took a final step, grabbed Isaac's broad shoulders and turned him around in Amber's direction.
He looked astonished but out of all the emotions rushing through his mind there was a hint of love and I could say that I was proud of my masterpiece. Ambet kept getting closer to Isaac and I took some steps back and closed my eyes to avoid all the lovey dovey scenery. They both laughed afterwards and I slightly opened my eyes and breathed out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
"Thank you Adalyn!" They both say in unison
"I'd have to say I did a pretty good here." I said pointing at them
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I found myself laughing out of nowhere and could see the confused look on Margot's face. In another situation or mostly with another person I would say it was just a silly thought and dismiss the thought but instead I told Margot and she kept laughing during my anecdote.
"So you are some type of matchmaker?" She said in between laughters
"I guess so!" I said giggling
After our laughing session I calm down a little and start talking again.
"Do you want to get married?" I asked Margot and I could tell that she was taken aback by this question.
"You know... Referring to Isaac and Amber's story." I justified
"Um I am not sure." She said after a moment.
"Why not?" I asked unsure of what her answer would be.
"I just don't feel the need for a man to intrude in my life and stay there forever."
"What about a woman?"
There was a long pause, complete silence. We looked at each other but our expressions were blank not sure what to do or say. The ringing sounds of bells and speakers weren't even able to make us flinch. I knew exactly what was happening. We were missing the train; again but there was little to no space left to think about that. We were preoccupied about something else. This is day I learnt that silence can feel deadly when it is considered as the elephant in the room.

∆ Margot's p.o.v ∆I was dumbfounded by what she just asked. Not that I feel uncomfortable with this question, far from that. It's just that the last person I was expecting to tell me this bluntly is Adalyn.She had a blank expression on her face. Her eyes being the only source of glimmer and light on her naturally pale face. Surprisingly, the colour and shine didn't cover up the fact that they were blank; no feelings whatsoever. There was something else in them that I couldn't quite catch.I was always the talkative type but Adalyn somehow managed to make me speechless at any given situation. Her coldness and bluntness makes you shiver with just one glance but I know her better than that. She has warmth; a lot of it, but it is hidden behind multiple walls made up of deception and numbness.At that moment all I could manage to say is"I'm sorry what?""A woman." She

∆ Adalyn's p.o.v ∆We began to walk quite slowly towards our destination when I realized that we would never get there on time at this rate. With some sort of unanticipated burst of courage, I lightly tugged on Margot's arm and began to increase my pace.I could tell by the priceless look on her face that she was far from expecting this.We were almost the same height but the favoritism of me being taller made it slightly difficult for her to keep up."Slow down missy!" She whined which only made me chuckle at her choice of her words and sarcastic tone of voiceI obliged and moderated my motion. Margot momentarily exhaled and looked at me in disbelief. I came to a sudden stop at the view in front of us. The gigantic oval shaped building with huge glass windows and modern aspect. I missed this place so much, the thought of being here again instantly brought a wide smile to my face."This is... Incredible!" She exclaimed"Wait until you see the inside." I said more than eager at the tini

∆Margot's p.o.v∆My curiosity got the best of me and I couldn't help but ask who could possibly be Adrianna. It could be anyone. Her mother, a cousin or even perhaps a friend she cherishes a lot. My thoughts were all over the place and all I needed was one thing, one simple word. Answers. I did not want to seem excessively intrusive so I tried my best to not seem bothered by the fact that at no moment, Adalyn mentioned a certain Adrianna."Who is this... Person...?"All sorts of emotions filled Adalyn's eyes but confused overcame everything. Why would she be? All she needed to say was who Adrianna is. I did not need any detailed explanation whatsoever. I decided to give her some time but my impatience was growing each second. A personality trait I got from my beloved mother. "I- I'm sorry I forgot to um say- that- um she is... Um-""It's okay take your time."

Adalyn's p.o.v∆I gradually grew accustomed to blabbering about Adrianna. I used to be afraid to talk about her, by fear that the latter listening to me would be judgemental but what did I ever have to be worried about with Margot. She was so open minded and always tried to understand the situation as much as she could to help someone else. It brought back so many memories, so many I wish I could remember forever and some that I could put six feet under. People judging you for no specific reason or even thinking that the world revolves around them, that they have the right to do anything. When clearly; they don't. Having such a detailed opinion on everything can sometimes help and sometimes be a burden. You want to speak up and say what's on your mind but you feel confined to keeping eveything to yourself. It was like that for me since childhood. If I'd have to write it all down, it would take me decades. So I just keep quiet which is one of the tragic side effects of having opinions.

∆Margot's p.o.v∆ Where was she? It had been quite awhile since Adalyn excused herself to go somewhere. Obviously I was most probably over reacting but then again I had a horrible feeling about it. I could feel it in the deepest crevices of my gut. I sighed out of frustration and decided to go check, just in case. I pushed open the doors which apparently they have some sort of tendency to make abnormally heavy and all I could manage to do was stay speechless for a split second before reality gave me a good slap. The tap was open thus emerging the bottom of the sink and slowly forming a pool of water on the floor. Adalyn. She was, well, unconscious. Her body laid on the floor and the water was creeping up to her left hand. Saying that I was mortified would be an understatement. I rushed towards her and I was quite confused. A faint smile played on her lips. The type of smile which occurs when you feel free and finally away from all of your worries. It was barely noticeable but was sti

∆ Adalyn's p.o.v ∆Who would have thought I was going to marry the Shakespeare of my high school.Today was a big day, I was going to meet his parents for the first time. Stress was at its paroxysm. Apprehension fulfilled my body as I was getting ready early in the morning so that I did not miss the train to Seattle.I was in love with him but it seemed as if it was planned. On my 24th birthday, my friends set up a blind date and me being the shy person I was, I didn't decline it and forced a smile to seem happy about it. Let me say that when I saw Jerry; my husband which at the time I identified as a geek, I was shocked yet it was intriguing. The whole time I spent with him was him bragging about the new investments he made or the new house he was planning to buy and let's just say it was not my cup of tea. Conversations in general were not what I mainly liked so imagine sitting two hours with someone who k

Margot's p.o.v ∆I woke up with the sun rays beaming on my face, I checked the time on the clock which was on my nightstand and saw '7.00 a.m' . I quickly hurried to put some decent clothes on and tried to tame my hair but obviously giving up and putting it in a low bun.I was an adult now. Already 18, I couldn't believe it. My family insisted for me to come to my hometown;Seattle for the special event.I had no interest to show up there after everything that happened but somehow, my mother managed to convince me.I would stay only for a week, it can't be that bad... Right? I hadn't gone there since I was 16. I always wanted to be independent and have no one control what I say and do. They did forbid me from doing anything on my own but I didn't listen as always and only took in consideration what I though and only what I wanted to achieve.Let's just say that when I ran away from mytown

∆ Adalyn's p.o.v ∆•I gathered all the little to no courage I had to start the conversation and thanked her again since it was entirely my fault if she was late. She kept saying that it was no big deal and that either way she didn't want to go to Seattle which I find funny as a coincidence that we both don't necessarily want to go there•"It's not like I wanted to go to Seattle anyways." She said nonchalantly"Neither do I, but I still have to be on time. My life depends on this.""I don't think your life should depend on anything else but your own perception" •I raised a brow at her confused since I had never thought about this before. This statement kept frustrating me. I usually tend to understand things or even simplify them, but this appeared to be more complex. •"What do you mean exactly by my own perception?" "Well it depends on your current situation."

∆ Margot's p.o.v ∆I was reluctantly over thinking Adalyn's offer. Help? I had grown up overcoming my struggles with the help of none other than myself. So when she offered her help, I was more than skeptical. I politely declined with no specifications on this conclusion and I could easily tell that Adalyn was not having it."You've helped me so much with my issues and I obviously feel the need to do the same." Adalyn insisted"No don't worry about that! It's totally fine.""What I need to worry about is the fact that you always refuse help from everyone and honestly an explanation wouldn't hurt anybody."I sighed. She was right after all, my parents had teached me from a very young age that if you want to have a hero to get help from then look into the mirror because one day everyone will leave.My father is a dreamer who nonetheless doesn't let his coping mechanism consume him.

She simply looked at me with a frown look that read 'I don't see what you are talking about' and just like that, it is almost as if lighting struck her and she quickly flashed one of her signature dimpled smile and dismissed my statement.I shook the thought out of my head when she continued to list reasons on why a divorce can be beneficial. Most of them were reasonable and made sense but I was still stuck to the denial stage which consisted on remaining calm with a deadly silence. At least this is how my father describes my attitude.Not noticing that it seemed like I gave the cold shoulder to most people was not the issue. The real one was my

∆ Margot's p.o.v ∆It would be no surprise if I told you we missed the 09:30 a.m train. What is surprising is the way we missed it. For once it was not our decision; well not entirely.I was abnormally getting lost in Adalyn's blue ocean eyes which were the polar opposite of mine; mine were a regular dark brown but she seemed to like them a lot since she complimented them at any given chance. The way she describes them resembles a description from a book.She described them as darting back and fourth, shining in the sunlight. They were a deep, earthy brown - the color of the earth after torrential rains. But there was something else in them, something glistening. Glistening like an old copper penny being examined in the warmth next to powerful flames that were licking the safety glass door of an old fireplace.Her inspiration most probably comes from her wide knowledge and desire of reading every second of h
