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,

“Life is tough, my darling, but so are you.”~♡~“Are you ready kids?Aye Aye CaptainI can’t hear you!AYE AYE CAPTAINOohh...Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?Spongebob Squarepants!Absorbent and yellow and porous is he!Spongebob Squarepants!If nautical nonsense be something you wishSpongebob Squarepants!Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish!Spongebob Squarepants!READY?Spongebob SquarepantsSpongebob SquarepantsSpongebob Squarepa-”Hastily reaching for my phone on the nightstand, I get out of my slumber to stop my alarm. 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

“Never give up without a fight”~♡~I walked to my house with heavy legs. Each footstep felt as though I had a rock tied to me and I had to put my entire energy to do the job. When I reached my house, I walked past it to my neighbour’s.I walked up to the door and knocked on it. After a few seconds, the door opened and Anna stood in front of me. She smiled up at me and I found it hard to respond with the same gesture.Anna and I had become pretty close in these few months. I’ve always loved Anna when she was a baby. And she liked playing with me back then and now too. And I’m glad she isn’t like her brother.“Anna, can you.. please call your brother?” I asked, holding onto the door frame.“Yes!” She grinned and ran back inside to fetch his brother. After waiting for a few minutes, Brett appeared in front of me.“What?” Brett’s voice rang in my ear. He was looking irritated when I faced him and his eyes were narrowed, almost questioning my presence.“You told me you’d meet me after sch

“A single moment of misunderstanding is so poisonous, that it makes us forget the hundred loveable moments spent together within a minute.”~♡~BrettI don’t know what I was thinking when I brought her into my house. Yes, she was hurt but that gave me no reason to ask, or rather, force her to stay with us. Especially since I led her to believe that I don't care about her at all.I somehow felt like she didn’t deserve that pain. When I saw her wrist bleeding, and she was barely able to walk, I was wracked with guilt. This could have been avoided if I were there.Honestly, after what happened with Sapphire, I hated Chloe. She was the one person I loathed. She disgusted me.When we were kids, we used to be the best of friends. I remember every childhood memory I made with her. But since I moved away from Boston, I was angry. Angry at everything. The new place I’ve been dragged to, the new friends I met and everything else. Boston was a great place. Moreover, I had a best friend. I had Ch

"It grieves me to think there are people misunderstanding my heart on an issue.”~♡~I didn’t know what was wrong with him. He seemed completely fine when I talked to him last night. I was happy that things were going fine between us but he threw me out of his house in the morning.I didn’t know if he even felt the need to help me when I fell. I thought he’d try to be a little more gentle and caring. I don’t know why he’s being like so mean again.I decided to not go to school because I was going tired of all that was going on in my life. Moreover, I may have to face Parker, which I don’t want to do.“You’re not going to school, sweetie?” My mom asked me when she saw me sitting in our backyard.“No. I’m tired mom,” I said her.She came to me and sat beside me. “You want to talk about it, Chloe?”I looked up at her and smiled. “How did you know I need to share it?”“I’m your mother, sweetie.” She said and smiled back.I chuckled and took her hand. “I’ve been having a bad time these day
