My eyes were shut closed waiting what will happen next. I jumped from my seat when their doorbell rang.
I saw Lucas stood up and went to their main door.
I gulped continuously. What was that? Those kinds of moments are the thing that I only witness in a book, and I couldn’t believe that it almost happened to me.
My breathing was ragged and my heart is beating wildly. Stay still, heart, please!
I heard voices of men, and realized that it was Matt, Lucas’ another visitor. Both of th
“Miss Grumpy.” Stacey suddenly speaks. “I’m just going to return something to Nurse Kelly, alright?” She said and as if her rounded eyes were talking to me, too.“Where am I supposed to go?” This is my chance to stalk away. Finally!“Go to the field already.” She instructed.“Okay.” I let out a small laugh then Stacey waved his hand good bye.“Lay!” I was about to walk away when she called me once more. “I will bombard your house for the next two weeks if y
I’ve wanted to tell it to Stacey, all of it. I know she got my back, always, but if telling this to her will risk the part where she will know about my ‘planned’ life, then it is better off this way.I am lost in my thought when someone hugged me and cover my eyes with his hand. I know it is a guy, and I know who it was because of his scent. His embrace was soft and comforting.“Stop crying. I am here.” Matt said soothingly. I don’t have the strength to push him, I just want to bury myself and cry until my tears were all gone.“I am here. You
I entered the campus while my eyes were stuck on my Biology notebook. Today is the start of exam week. There is a lot of pressure and a bunch of discussions that needed to be reviewed. This is very different compared from when I was just home-schooling.“Alayna!” It was Stacey. She was wearing her hair into a chignon pigtails, white top and of course her signature mini-skirt. I really don’t agree with Stacey losing some weight, she looked really really different. I mean, I don’t know why she insists to have a body like J.Lo… J.Lo is thick, while Stacey is making herself skinnier. I scrapped the thought and continued reading my
Friday came and I could totally say that my mind is stress-free right now. After taking our exam in Piano Skills I, I invited Matt to hang out with me in the fountain.“Where is Stacey?” Matt asked as he chews vigorously his corndog.“Oh, she is with Ethan, her crush, asking him to be her buddy?” I trailed off and looked at the blooming view in this garden. “Damn. We need more Stacey in this world.” I looked at Matt hesitantly.
“Alayna, a French boy is looking for you.” Karen called out while I was in my room. I looked at myself in the mirror one last time, pale as ever, but my wardrobe improved a little as Karen lend me some of her old dress. But I still prefer to wear a pair of chucks instead of that two inches high-heel she was suggesting.I went downstairs and found Matt comfortably sitting on our couch.“You are stunning.” Matt went to me then he took my hand.“Matt, take care of my daughter.” Karen emerged from the kitchen and she was eating a… is that a croissant? “And this croissant tastes
“Lay, what have you done?” It was Stacey, her eye brows furrowed. We were on the bus stop, waiting for the bus to come. I just leaned my head on the post and closed my eyes for a bit.“Nothing. I just didn’t get enough sleep during weekends.” I answered lazily. This is because of Lucas Nielsen, who kept pestering my mind with his sudden I miss you on me. I couldn’t sleep properly. My heart is being weird every time I will recall that scenario. I know for a fact there are dark circles under my eyes. Th
Tomorrow morning, I’ve decided to buy Stacey a gift for her birthday party later. It was nice that her birthday is a holiday here in Torshavn, meaning, there are no classes for today.I simply wore a black top, denim jeans, and a hoodie. Karen was with William in the wet market, so I just went out and walked myself in the bus stop.I have three gift choices for Stacey, I have this in mind since last week. I took out my mini-notebook, containing the list of gifts for her and read it one by one.First, I thought of giving her a hair clip. I find her very pretty when her hai
“Ethan.” I called out.“Hey, is Stacey here?” Ethan asked, he seems hesitant. Or maybe he’s just being shy… He is carrying a box, a gift for Stacey for sure.“Yep. Come on in.” We both made our way to our table.“Dude. Nice to see you in here.” Matt welcomed Ethan with a shake hand.“I’ve decided to come, even though she didn’
Lucas tiptoed his feet as they climbed upstairs. He was holding a cake in his other hand, while his son's hand on the other."Mommy won't like this. She hates waking up at midnight." Blue, their first born, said in a grumpy tone of voice.He wanted to laugh, because he knew that Blue was the one who hates waking up at this hour. But for sure, his son will be much annoyed at him. And a hundred percent sure, he won't cooperate with him anymore.
Three years later."Shh, little Quen. Here... here's your milk." I immediately grabbed the bottle of milk beside me, and let little Quen have his milk.I closed my eyes in frustration when he ignored me and continued on weeping."Oh, little Quen. Please stop crying, please, please. I need to go, now." I've wanted to cry together with him in frustration.
The sun was just about to rise when I left the house. After everything had happened, I forgot that I still have some things in my locker. So I've decided to finally take all of it.As I approached SOMA, the sun was up already. It felt kind of heavy to be here again. There were tons of memories flashing in my mind.The campus was filled with birds' noises. It's a weekend, therefore there were no students roaming around the school.When I saw the
“As days passed by, we became the best of friends. We were inseparable, really. We went to school together, eating lunch together, even in our school play we were in it, together. Then I thought, having someone you call as a friend, it felt amazing. It was surreal, maybe because she was my first friend for my whole 18 years of existence here.” I gazed at Peter, his face was calm but I could see sadness through his eyes.“I could say that Stacey is the epitome of happiness. If you ever tried to be with her even for just a minute or so, you’ll feel comfortable in her side…” I let out small laugh.
I’ve witnessed an angel sets her majestic feet here on earth.Never expected this angel would appear in my existence.As this creature spread her wings,
With just three rings, he answered it immediately. I noticed that he just came out from the company he's working in. Roger greeted me joyfully, he badly wanted to go in here with Brook and his children to celebrate with us, but unfortunately, there's a project for him that needed to be finished immediately because of being absent for two weeks.I truly understand my dad. And I am so glad for him to greet me even just a phone call. Brook and Thorn, who were both in the house, joined the video call to greet me as well. Thania wasn't there, because she flew back in California to take her exam. But she sends her regards at me through a text message.As
"Happy birthday, to you. Happy birthday, to you." Karen, William and Lucas chorused as they sing the Happy Birthdaysong for me.They were all wearing a color red shirt, with matching party hats in their heads. Lucas was the one holding my cake with a number 18 candle on the top of it. I cannot help not to show a sunny and childlike smile to them.This was the exact picture as I celebrate my other birthdays. Me lying on the bed, watching myguestsas they pour their heart singing just to see me smile. But this year's a bit di
“It’s alright, baby. Let it all out.” Lucas tried to comfort me with his words. I sat down on the floor, my body felt weak and emotional right now.There is no one that could save me.Then I just felt my tears falling uncontrollably onto my face. Lucas was there to catch me in his arms.“Come on, get up. We’ll get you the hospital.” Lucas nuzzled closely to me, but I pulled myself from him.“Luc
Of course, both of my fathers’ thought of something to torture Lucas, and by torture they meant is to play Jengga with their hands dipped in iced cold water before they have their turns. If my Lucas lose, and I quote from: “Thee des’rve not our daught’r, and we might not but strip off thy labeleth as h’r own boyfriend.” You don’t deserve our daughter, and we must strip off your label as her boyfriend.Well, thankf
