My nightmares bleed through my fingers on the white canvas, but sometimes a dream sneaks in between. ~A.Gupta

“I don't know how you do it,” I turned toward the familiar voice. Daisy said, “You are seriously so talented, Violet. I still can't draw a perfect arc without erasing it a few times.”
‘Thankyou,' I smiled up at her. Daisy had been my friend since I joined the community classes. She was five four, and has black eyes with dark hair framing her face. And she was sweet. She always had something good to say to me. Unlike most people who treated me like I was disabled and shouldn’t be here learning art just because I couldn't speak— they think that I was a p
Normal is the wrong word often used for average.~ Henry S. HaskinsColeI waited outside the building where her art classes were held. My t-shirt was inside out in the rush that had commenced back at the house after Bree’s water broke and I drove her and Mad to the hospital.Even though everyone was there in the hospital, giving their support to the would be parents and I had personally asked the doctor who had assured me that everything was looking right and that both mother and child would be fine, I was still a little stressed out with my mind on my best friend and because of my own past.Two days ago Bree felt an excruciating pain in her lower abdomen that Mad had to take her to th
In the house of trust, love is born. ~ A. Gupta Violet My leg throbbed from where Tara had intentionally knocked the can of blue paint that was on my table. In retaliation Daisy had squirted all of her tube colors on Tara’s head, making her hair look like a rainbow. The shriek that had followed was still echoing in my ears and not to forget the evil look Tara had given me before she had stormed off, saying, “Watch your back, bitches.” “We are going home for you to change and then we will go to the hospital.” His words pulled me to the present with a jerk. The word hospital was like cold water on my body as two days ago Mad had taken Bree to the hospital because she had been in so much pain. And it had made m
A new baby is like the beginning of all things— wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.~ Eda J. LeShanVioletWe waited outside the hospital room with the rest of the family. Nurses went and came out of the room in hurry as they did the doctor’s bidding.Dominic was the most stressed one as he raked his fingers through his hair from time to time and paced the corridor. Mrs Carter sat with Mr Carter, his arm was protectively wrapped around her which reminded me of how Cole had helped me just now.My fingers were tightly knotted around each other as I sat there with Kiara on my one side and Cole on the other. The other two elder Carter brothers were on their way to be here to meet the new addition to the Carter family. Ever
It’s heart-breaking when something you lost is found by someone else. But being happy for them is what makes you worthy for the happiness you deserve. ~ A. Gupta(I was confused which one to write, so added both)It’s heart-breakingly beautiful to carry the loss in your heart and still be genuinely happy for others blessings, knowing you could never have what they have. ~ A. GuptaColeI pushed the glass door and stormed out of the hospital. I walked without any destination, wanting to escape the clawing tentacles of the past and the piercing screams that had tormented me for so long.I closed my eyes only to let out a loud groan and curse as my eyes burned and everything started to blur. Watching Bree in that hospital bed took me two
Knowing what you want and having to step forward to grab it are two different things. It needed courage that I seemed to lack no matter how hard I try.~ A. GuptaViolet“Then, you shouldn’t have walked out of there like this, Cole.” The words scratched at my throat as I said them.I closed my eyes for a moment, savoring his name on my lips. I had said it hundreds of times in my mind but for the first time I voiced it and in front of him no less. It felt intimate to me for some reason and when I opened my eyes and saw him staring back at me with those dark brown eyes I knew he noticed it too. His face was in the shadows as he sat on the divider in the parking lot behind the hospital. He looked dark and severe, but I wasn’t afraid of hi
In the dark loneliness I let my pieces fall apart without anyone to see them. And then I scream out my pain to break the silence around me.~ A. GuptaVioletI knocked on the door and a moment later Bree answered, “Come in.”When I opened her bedroom door and entered, I found her looking at the painting I gifted her a day before. It had been three days since she gave birth to Ivan and two days since Cole up and left without saying a word to anyone.I had slept while looking at him and when I woke up the next day he wasn’t there. He wasn’t anywhere. Maddox had said that he was fine but didn’t tell me where he was and why he left, not that I asked. Unlike me no one was bothered with it, it seemed like this— Cole’s sudden absence— was normal.When Bree saw that it was me, she gave me a wide smile. She said, “Kiara took Ivan. They are in Dom’s room.”I shrug
Her dreams are my nightmares.ColeI groaned as I entered the hotel room I had booked for the night. My whole body was protesting with each movement I was making. Two nights in a row wasn’t a good idea and deciding to fight the man twice my size was something I shouldn’t have done. But adrenaline was high in my veins and people pumping me when I had defeated the prize fighter of the night had clouded my judgment. Luckily I had managed to dodge the killing blow at the right time or instead of just having a busted nose and aching ribs my brain would be plastered on the mat in the underground ring.My phone buzzed in my pocket but I ignored it as I picked up the bottle from last night and drank every last drop from it. My stomach groaned demanding food but I didn't even h
With each day that passes, her beauty baffles me. And all I want to do is to consume her and bask in the light she brings me.~ A. GuptaVioletI opened my eyes and swallowed a gasp. He was sitting in the chair by my bed and staring right at me.“Good morning.” He said and leaned forward. His sherry brown eyes looked tired and dark.His fingers were about to touch me, maybe caress my cheek but before he could I sat up and slid out of the bed, away from him. I glared at him over my shoulder as I made my way toward the bathroom. He had made me call him and say the words but even as I gave him what he wanted he didn’t return the favor. He didn’t come back. And the audacity of this man, to come h
