2024-10-29 19:42:56I decided to leave for New York as soon as I can. I felt so suffocated in London with all the memories every place I turned to carried and the void I felt due to losing the most important persons in my life. I couldn’t function normally like before without any of them beside me.
My pain turned to anger once I realized that no one was coming to my rescue. I hated myself for wasting my life running around to be there for people who needed someone to lean on and now there is no one beside me when I needed them the most. My mom was right, People just don’t stay because we want them to.
I was hesitant to go to New York but what are the chances to meet a couple of pop stars accidentally when you walk out of the college campus to get coffee? Maybe one in a thousand to none? So I decided to take my chances.
I got admitted into one of the world’s leading art and design school. I decided to take illustration (BFA) as my major, something I’ve always secretly admired at.

You are my FLAME Dad's Duty.
After Seven Years, I stepped out of the elevator flicking my hair over my shoulder. I walked lazily towards the direction of my office room removing my sunglasses. My secretary, Lydia came running towards me and joined beside me as I kept walking. She offered me my coffee cup but instead of accepting the cup, I pointed to the file on her hand signaling her to hand it over to me. I opened the file and slowly ran my eyes on the first page of the document inside it as I kept walking towards my room. “This is not what I asked for.” I threw the file on my secretary’s face yelling at her in front of my employees who worked on my floor.“Get me the right one,” I said with a glare and proceeded to my room as she ran back to her desk. I heard multiple ‘Good mornings’ from my staff as I crossed their cubicles but I ignored it all. I entered my office room pushing the glass door rather harshly in anger. My office room was located on the 24th floor of
You are my FLAME Why?
When I was lost in my thoughts staring at the serene view through the glass wall from my floor, I heard the door to my office room open suddenly making my body jerk in surprise reeling my mind back to the present. Listening to the whistle sound coming from behind followed by the ‘thud’ sound of the door closing, I realized who it was without even looking back. I sighed in annoyance, “Don’t you have some basic manners to knock?” I said turning around with an annoyed look. Damon gave me a ‘are you talking to me?’ look and pretended to look around like he was searching for someone else in the room. “Why are you here?” I asked him rolling my eyes. Suddenly the door opened again revealing two gentlemen carrying a huge table into the room. “What’s going on?” I asked to no one in particular in confusion watching them bringing the table while grunting.
You are my FLAME Destiny.
Destiny has a lot of names, fate, future, divine decree, gods will. Some people say it's karma and some say it’s just coincidences. I never believed in any of those but after that day I didn’t know what to say. I just want to say one thing that I learned from things that happened after that day, you will have to scatter all the pieces first if you want to assemble the jigsaw puzzle perfectly. Life or fate or whatever you want to call it, it has a beautiful way of smearing paint on the canvas only to make an extraordinary piece of art. “I am sure you’ve known him. He is the most popular among the five of them, and he is about to release a solo album in few months. People are so hyped about this even before the album release so we thought if he debuts as an actor in my film then it would reach a wider audience and gain more support.” Uncle Richard talked passionately. I could see the excitement in his eyes. I understood how much he was happy that Vian agreed to
You are my FLAME It's time.
“Ryan? What are you doing here?” I couldn’t believe my own eyes. “Uh… I guess I am your date tonight.” He said with a shy smile. “What? No way. It’s so good to see you, Ryan.” I said excitedly and without thinking I hugged him. He was surprised but he hugged me back letting out a chuckle. I didn’t expect Ryan as my date but when I saw him I felt pure excitement like I was meeting up with a friend after years. I mean he is a friend, but I felt zero awkwardness even though he was my ex-boyfriend. “This is really a sweet surprise,” I said sitting on my chair which he pulled out for me like a gentleman. “I am relieved that you are happy to see me,” he said looking at my eyes while making himself comfortable on his seat. “Of course I am. Why would I not?” I asked him. “You have no idea how nervous I was. I almost left this place a few minutes ago.” He said honestly. “That’s why I asked your father not to tell anything about me to yo
You are my FLAME Dream
“I will take care of this, Uncle,” I said in a decided tone thinking that it’s time to meet Vian. “How?” I heard Ryan and Uncle asking me at the same time. “Don’t worry about it. Everything will be okay.” I assured them. I send Ryan and Uncle off assuring them again that I will take care of everything and then I asked my secretary Lydia to get me the D5’s manager’s number. “Is that so? That’s bad. Are you sure that I can’t even get ten minutes of their time?” I asked again, sounding desperately holding my phone tightly. I talked to their manager Mr. Edward once Lydia got me his number. He was polite and spoke like a gentleman once he heard who I was. He said that their schedule was pretty tight for that day and asked me if I wanted to meet up with Vian and Jay later that week. I didn’t want to. I mean I could, but I just wanted to deal with this matter as soon as possible and get back to my life that doesn’t involve them. “Is i

I slowly walked towards him without breaking eye contact. He straightened up noticing me approaching him. I felt a cold raindrop on my neck, goose bumps broke out all over my body when I stopped to stand just a few steps away from him under the same tree. “Why are you here?” I blurted it out suddenly. It came out wrong, on the contrary to what I feel. I wanted to hug him and at the same time, I wanted to slap him the moment I saw him. Despite everything that happened in the past, every cell in my body craved him, every synapse in the brain started firing like a firework in his nearness. “I came to see my best friend.” He said softly looking straight into my eyes. “I thought you forgot about her,” I told him without believing my own words. Somehow in my heart, I knew he never once stopped thinking about me.‘Weird, isn’t it?’ or should I say fascinating? That I could read his eyes as clear as I did years ag
You are my FLAME Addicted.
Dear diary, Sorry, it's been so long. I haven’t remotely written anything for years. You used to be my secret safe where I could lock away my deepest desires and regrets. I could be completely honest, and you won’t judge me. But then since I moved to New York, I haven’t been myself. Somehow my life lost its purpose, and I did things just for the sake of doing it. Scratch that. I did things and lived my life because I owe it all to certain two persons whom I learned to love later in my life. And that I didn’t want to admit to anyone… not even to you. Because that is not living… it’s just existing. No human on earth wants to admit that they are nothing in this world… not even to themselves including me. But that isn’t the only reason. I know Damon’s been snooping around my room looking for you. I know he means well. He just wants to know what’s wrong with me and help me. Sometimes he seems to be the only person in the entire world
You are my FLAME Trap.
We all have that one friend who always acts dramatically even for the simplest of things in life. Dev is just one of them and the only one in my life. I never seriously considered the thought of killing someone in my life before that day. What can I say? He just brings out the worst in me. When I reached his home, worry etched on my face, I saw him sitting in front of his TV, wearing pajamas, snacking chips in the middle of the living room leaving the front door open for me. I knew right then, yet again I fell for one of his tricks. “Hey Ava, come on sit and watch. This is so fun.” He said smiling pretending to be innocent patting the seat next to him when he noticed my arrival. If I say that I was burning with rage at that moment, that would be the understatement of the year. “Why did you call me here, Dev?” I asked him gritting my teeth on the verge of losing my patience. “Ah, that,” he said as if he just remembered that he called me there. “I got a

I blinked a few times to adjust my vision and then I screamed noticing the person who helped me.“Jay!” I hugged him tightly in excitement without believing my eyes. I was relieved that at least Jay was there beside me even though my dad and brother couldn’t make it.“Do you think we would let you get married without dad walking you to the aisle?” I looked around hearing Damon behind me. Willie, Damon, and Dev walked towards me in their black suits and I couldn’t help but get overwhelmed watching them. Since the moment they have taken off the blindfold, it all felt like a dream.“I thought you guys aren’t gonna be there.” I wept like a crazy girl hugging my dad and my brother in elation. Weirdly, even when I was happy beyond words tears kept rolling down my cheeks.“Baby girl, you haven’t said anything about my masterpiece,” Dev said running his hands over my dress. I was surprised an
You are my FLAME You are my Flame.
I was taking an evening walk with Vian towards our high school in the old town. The sun shone brightly on the western sky just before setting like it was ready to give the stage to the moon and the stars. We were walking in silence immersed in our thoughts.A day before, Vian suddenly barged into my office with Damon and took me with him hauling me away from my office without saying anything about where he was taking me and leaving Damon in charge of the company like he owned it.I was busy for the past two weeks, and I couldn’t even properly text Vian on those days. I was trying to finish a deal with a Chinese company that was interested in investing in our company. If I get that deal successfully then, I needn’t worry about paying Ryan’s dad’s debt in a year. With Vian and Jay’s help, I could pay him off within 6 months.I tried my best to refuse Vian and Jay’s help but they somehow convinced me. Jay told me that he was payi
You are my FLAME Sorry.
“Seriously? You are still wearing that?” Vian questioned with a very upset look in his eyes. “I… I forgot about it.” I said feeling guilty and defenseless. “You forgot about it?” he asked me in a mocking tone. “It’s YOUR finger and YOU are wearing it.” He pressed the words pointing at my hand. “How could you forget something like that and it’s been two days,” Vian said with a menacing look. He was right, and I have nothing to say to that but I wasn’t going to stand there looking all guilty and go down without an argument. “Well, you were with me on those two days, why didn’t you say anything about it? You must have seen it at least once. You should have told me something before proposing to me.” I yelled back. It was the most absurd thing that came out of my mouth. “Oh, I am sorry I didn’t notice the ring in your finger because my concentration was elsewhere in your body,” he growled back without thinking. It took him a second to realize what

Two days. Vian and I ignored this world for two days without giving a fuck about anything and lived off only eating takeouts with little sleep and lots of sex. We didn’t pick up any of the calls we received on our phones. In fact, we forgot where we kept them. Sometimes in the middle of the night or in the early morning and sometimes, at late noon we hear them ringing but completely ignored it just for the fun of it.I used to worry about others than myself usually. If it was some other time I would have thought about how Willie and Damon would be worried without hearing from me for two days and on top of that I didn’t even tell them where I was going. To be honest I didn’t know where I was going when I walked out of my house.But the whole world faded away when I was with Vian those two days. I was madly, irrevocably in love

I am not sure if I did justice to Vian and Ava's love in this chapter but I do hope you guys enjoy reading it............................................................................“You did. But… You… My name’s written there… striking Ryan’s name… is this what I think it is?” he asked me.“Yes,” I said firmly. I was nervous about what he would say after everything happened.“But… But why? Last night you said… you said…” he tried to say something, but he couldn’t as he was hit with lots of emotions remembering last night’s events.“I am sorry,” I said as my voice croaked remembering the night… remembering how I hurt him with my words.“Why? What happened? What’s changed?” he bombarded me with questions as he was surprised by my change of heart suddenly.“I know wh

“Elena!” I was hit with surprise and confusion at the same time.“Your dad let me in.” She said with an awkward smile as she walked in and took a seat beside me on the bed.“I am really surprised to see you here,” I said hoping that she would understand the real meaning of my question. I wanted to know why she came to meet me.But she remained silent thinking about something, fidgeting her fingers. “Do you want anything to drink or something?” I asked her but she politely refused.“I heard you got engaged. Congratulations!” she said with a small smile. It didn’t feel like she was actually wishing me, though.“Thank you.” I said smi

Darkness.That was the only thing I could think of when I came to my senses. I have been awake since an hour ago or so, but I stayed in my bed without opening my eyes.Darkness. Sometimes it’s not just something that you only see when you close your eyes or in other words that you can’t see anything in the absence of light but you could also feel it when there is no light in your life.I kept my eyes closed to see the darkness clearly so that I didn’t have to feel it. It awaits just behind the veil of my closed eyelids to engulf me as a whole.I will have to open my eyes anytime soon and let it swallow me but I prolonged the inevitable just by staying in bed with my eyes closed, feeling content as my mind made up an illusion of peace.
You are my FLAME Vian.
Vian’s journal. Dear diary, I am gonna tell you a story about a stupid boy who sacrificed his love twice for his friends. To him, they both mean the world, and he would do anything for them even if it meant hurting himself. I was just a cheeky, naïve little boy when Jay and Ava came into my life. They both loved me regardless of who I was and cared for me like I am their family. In life, nothing can be quite precious in this world as your ideas and experiences to share with someone. Nothing can be more magnanimous than being an inspiration to someone. On that note, I know I must always be grateful to Jay who inspired me with his dreams and ambitions when I was just wandering around in life, and Ava who made me run towards my dreams. To someone who doesn’t know who his mother was and has a father who travels a lot rather spending time with his son, Jay and Ava were the dad and mom to me. Over the years, Jay bec
You are my FLAME Jay.
Jay’s Journal. Dear diary, It’s so hard for me to see Vian and Ava like this. I cannot watch them being in pain, hurting each other. Everything was my fault. If only I hadn’t fallen in love… with her, with my Ava, I could have prevented years of pain for the three of us. Yes, I am in love with Ava, and I have been for quite a while. I don’t exactly remember when I started to grow feelings for her, but I remember the times when I enjoyed her company so much. I crack jokes just to watch her laugh and I tease and annoy her to see her cute pouts. I thought it was just friendship for a while but then I realized I didn’t want to lose her to someone when I lost my mom. She always took care of me and loved me more than my family. I’ve always enjoyed the way she treated me special than others… than Vian. I guess I was just too late to realize that. When we moved to London, I started noticing certain changes with Ava and also V
