Love and Lament 36
"What do you means it's me?" Brett spoke, as he got up straight to face me. I was involuntarily fidgeting with my hands, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get any words out of my mouth. It was that moment of silence we were having where both of us are confused to process what's running in our minds. The temperature of the seemed to increase with the slow anger in Brett's face. He's definitely not the guy who jumps to conclusions, but there is nothing that is not known here. He heard what I said perfectly, and he is judging the situation right. "I'm sorry.." I said. That was all I could say after looking at how his face was emotionless and stern. "You helped her get with me?" Brett asked, almost in frustration. "You thought we dated? For fuck's sake, I didn't even know her until I saw her that day!" "I didn't know she was lying.." I said, trying to sound as convincing as possible. What I did was stupid. And I realised it after really long. I know I don't stand a chance
Love and Lament 37
After a month"Are you listening to me?" My mother narrowed her eyes at me, slightly knitting her eyebrows together to let a frown form on her forehead.Her eyes had bags underneath, and a few dark circles brushing her skin. She hadn't slept well lat night. Well, to he very honest, she hadn't slept at all. It was evident by how many times she almost fell asleep on the table while we were having break fast."I am." I said, almost rolling my eyes at her but resisted my urge before I could throw myself in a situation that would earn me a good amount of scolding.My eyes burned too, partly because they released more tears and completely drained themselves of any liquid and also because of the many sleepless nights I have been having with everything going on."Where's your bag?" She asked, trying to test if I was really attentive in the conversation.The conversation was getting routine. She constantly reminded me that I should stress myself and that I should get nervous before the actual

"I'm sorry honey, but he already left." Brett's mom said with a saddened expression her face. Little Anna was stilling hugging me by my legs and kept jumping about how she missed me."He left?" I asked her, unable to believe what she had told."Yes." She said, her lips forming into a thin line. "I'm sorry honey. He wasn't actually in a great mood. The test was stressing him a lot and with everything going on..""It's okay, I understand." I tried to smile, but I don't know if it appeared like one. "I just wanted to see him one last time before I go for it. He was the one that wanted me to write it in the first place.""I know." She said. "Can I ask you for something?"I looked up at her with at frown. "Of course you can.""If you still care about him after everything, which I know you do, please give your best today. He might not be here to wish you good luck but it's so obvious that he is anxious about how you're going to perform. Please, just remember that he would love to see you go
Love and Lament 39
His lips came crashing on me and knocked the air out of my lungs. Does that really happen to anyone, I wonder. For a few second, I could think about anything. My brain was in a mess, what was I supposed to make out of this?When he said he wanted to end my misery, I convinced myself that he was finally breaking up with me - for real. Although I was pretty sure we ended our thing the night I came out clean in front, I was still hoping that things would work in my favour and I'd never have to break our thing.But this - this insane act, the most unexpected one - this never occurred to me as a possibility. After what seemed like a few seconds, he finally let go of me."We're going to be late." He mumbled, looking at his watch. After a displeased frown formed on his face, he looked over at me and cupped my cheeks. "I want to make things right with you right now, Chloe, but I'm afraid we don't have the time. And I couldn't have waited until after the test - you were miserable and there was
Love and Lament Prologue
I didn’t understand why but I felt a hollowness within the confines of my heart. The feeling had been persistent for the past one month ever since I heard the news but I had assumed that it would go away with time. But contrary to my belief, it only intensified. I realised only later that it was a feeling of longing that first started within my chest, to the point where I thought I might puke my stomach’s contents before it averted it’s focus to my eyes. I was again at a loss of words to explain why I was at the verge of tears. I surely had to be stupid. I wasn’t lost, Mom wasn’t mad at me nor did I fail my math exam again. Surely everything was fine. Then where were the tears coming from? Could it be Dad? But I haven’t thought of him for at least a month, ever since I got to know about that news. Right. There it was. The news. That was why I was crying. I was so caught up in it that I didn’t even realise how much it was bothering me! Of course, the news wasn’t that bad! In fact,

With a groan, I roll over to see the time on the screen and as per usual, it was 6 am.I was just used to getting up that early because doctors said I was insomniac. I had secondary insomnia, which, medically proves that the stability in my mental health was low. Something that concerns my mom more than me.Yes, I’d been less socializing, less outgoing and less interactive but that was not some serious issue to ponder upon. It was a period of cha

"When you want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."~ Paulo Coelho~♡~“Do you really want to do this, Chloe?” My mom removed her glasses and looked at me with concern.“It’s okay,” I said, sliding the bag over my shoulder. “I’ve already skipped classes yesterday. Can’t afford to do it today too.”“I can talk to your teachers about it if you insist.”“It’s alright. I can manage.” I assured her.“If you say so.” She said. “But if you need to talk to me, I’m just a call away.”“I know. Thanks, mom.” I smiled as she kissed the top of my head. I waved at her and got out of the car.My foot was still not healed so I had to make my way to the school stumbling. I received a few weird gazes from people but they haven’t bothered to help me. I just shrugged it off and went inside. I had history in the first period so I went there.The class was empty except for me. I occupied my seat in the front and rested my back against the backrest of the chair.But I reall

"Stop letting people who do so little for you, control so much of your emotions."~♡~I grabbed my tray and smiled at the person behind the counter and walked away. I selected the most isolated table in the cafeteria before settling down on it.I held the Da Vinci Code in my hand and flipped the pages to read it. I didn’t have any friends, and the ones I had to think I was too much of a bitch. I’m not completely against their opinion, because that’s what I led everyone to believe. Autumn Ville would never want to make an acquaintance with me.I shook my head off the thoughts.I’ve always enjoyed reading Dan Brown’s books because they’ve always caught my interest. Unlike other thrillers, the book holds a lot of non-fiction stuff and many different plot twists that one would least expect.I heard a screeching of the chair and looked up from my book to look at Sapphire.“Hi.” She said and flipped her hair behind her shoulders.“Hello.” I smiled at her.“I can’t believe Sean ditched me to
