You are my FLAME

My name is Ava. I am living in a small town called old town with my grandmother. I moved here to the mid-semester from London when I was in middle school due to some personal reasons. My mother couldn't take care of me with all her work so she sent me to her mother to take good care of me. She is working hard to save money for my college.When I moved here I didn't expect anything. I just want to be a normal girl who goes to school and comes back home and sleeps after doing all my homework. I don't want to enjoy my life partying and dating. I can't do that when my mom is working hard for me, but you can never be sure.My grandfather died recently so my grandmother took over his souvenir shop. She is a kind woman who puts other's happiness over hers. I admire her a lot for her hard work and her never-changing smiling face. She always has

The way they both acted when we were in school and when we were outside, confused me. In school, they went on their way like I was a stranger. At lunch, Jay didn't even look my way when Jackson and his friends teased me while crossing their table with my food in hand. I sat alone even though they were just sitting at the next table.I should have joined them but the way they were acting the whole day felt unwelcoming. Well, I shouldn't have bothered by it since I have been alone even in my old school. I guess I was just a little too excited and imagined being friends with them when they were just being nice.On the contrary, they started acting friendly when we are outside, which confused me. 'Were they embarrassed to be seen with me?' That thought ruined the great of my day and here I am pondering, unable to concentrate on my home

Fast forward 5 yearsVian's POVIt was the last day of our tour. It felt good to be home after several months of travel. This year's tour was a success and everyone was happy how all the places were fully booked. We added extra shows in some venues since the tickets were sold in the blink of an eye.It was incredible but at the same time terrifying how people shower us with their love. Some days I wanted to run away and hide from all the attention like today.Everyone was busy backstage running here and there to make sure everything was perfect since it was our last show of the year. The makeup artist was touching up my makeup, and someone was checking whether my mic was working properly. But I was in

My heart wants me to stay.My mind pushes me away.Which one shall I listen to?This confusion overwhelms me.To be by your side daily,To retrieve my stolen heart,Shall I trace your footstep orWane in sleeplessness?I want to fill this gap.If I come close, allow me.All I need is half a second of proximity.

Have you ever felt useless in life? When someone you love is in anguish, you know they are in pain but you don't know why and therefore you don't know how to help them. How does that feel? How does it feel to watch them drown from aside? You don't know swimming and there is no one you can approach to help. Every time you see them crying alone hiding from the world, do you feel that splitting pain in your heart? Do you feel worthless standing in the shade watching them not even able to wipe their tears? Because that was how I felt whenever I saw Jay.I thought everything would be fine the next day after that controversial argument with Vian. I mean it was not like we never had arguments all those years. Jay and Vian were the ones who fought the most. Even then we never left each other's side, and I guess that was why we were never able to be mad at each other for so long. But I real
