I could easily feel like it was the end of the road for us both. I wished my life could be free of drama, not constantly interrupted by alarming bad news, when it seemed like things were finally going my way.
"I can explain." I stepped forward, advancing towards them both as I made the first move. "I don't know what you two think this is but you have to listen to me first." It was the first time my heart was racing this fast and I was truly afraid of the consequences because I had done nothing wrong this time and considered it unsafe for them to make the decisions that led them to believe I was responsible for anything.
"Explain yourself?" Caramel shook her head, her voice sounded like she had been crushed by a literal heavy metal. It was not challenging to tell she had yet to get over the incident from the previous day.
Her hair sat in a messy bun that looked like it had been rough handled. Her face sat make up free while she
"You want to move out?" My mother sounded astonished by my delivered piece of information. I had expected a similar reaction but I didn't think she would grow as pale."Why would you want to move out?" My father said, speaking for the first time in the scene.I had no idea if it was right to explain how ignorant they were and how their reaction am yesterday had birthed my suggestion, but I decided against it."Mother, father." I cleared my throat, hoping I sounded the best version of a polite child. "Don't worry. Don't go thinking it's all because of yesterday. Yes, it inspired my suggestion but trust that it is something that had been going on in my mind for a really long time." I started. No matter the conviction they needed to her, I had made my mind up and there was no going back."But Ally, your father and I-" my mother began but I was sharp enough to cut her short."You see, mom, that is the p
Hazel followed inside with me. I was carried away by my lust for this stranger's free suggestion to have her room that I paid no attention to the look of disapproval on my friend's face."Wow!" I blurted out with pleasure. One side of the room was covered with banners of tattooed citizens from ceiling to floor and I loved how it brought the room to life."This is simply beautiful." I commented, eating the interior decoration with my eyes.The other three walls were painted in a dull chocolate brown colour. One side of the room had an empty bed bunk I proposed belonged to her former roommate.The room was strangely neat. There was a reading desk close to the window tha
"Mom, dad, I'm home." I announced, walking into the house and shutting the door behind me. Everything was in order and I could blame the neatness on Becca. She walked out of the kitchen holding a broom in her hands that were dressed with long cleaning gloves. I marveled on how she rarely ever got bored of doing such things that I played lazy with. "They are not home from work, save your breath." She rolled her eyes at me."Really?" I furrowed my eyebrows. They usually came home a lot early on Fridays. These days, I realized the inconsistency that followed working but I had paid less attention to it."Yes, really." She shrugged, wasting no time to drop the news. "How was your search for a dorm room?" She took the gloves off, "any progr
I blinked a few times to get a better image of what was going on around us. Caramel added more fuel to the fire, taking her time to kiss this lady.Admittedly, I felt my heart sink from the shock of the incident before me. My mother had gone frozen to the ground. Caramel pulled away from her kiss with a huge grin and then turned to look away, stopping when she caught our gazes.Her eyes widened and she looked like she had seen a sea of ghosts. Once she made eye contact with my mother, my mother fell back, landing in my hands.Caramel blinked, unable to keep eye contact with me. She took me by surprise, dashing out of the room and heading straight for the steps. Without thinking to help me get our mother back to stability, she was very
"What is it?" He drew his eyebrows together, demanding that I proceeded with talking. I was uncertain as to how I could tell him all about it."Em-" I trailed off, swallowing a nervous lump in my throat. I wondered if I could just let Caramel tell him for herself but the mighty lust that constantly empowered my soul warned me otherwise."It's about Caramel." I sighed. He rushed to stand beside me and held me tight in his grip. "Why, what is wrong with her?" He gripped my shoulders and shook me slightly. "Is she okay?" How could she have chosen to let go of a man that loved her well enough."She is. I wanted her to be the one to deliver this to you but she is..." I was unable to complete my statement as the sudden swing of the bedroom c
I had no time to ponder on how he was present at the gathering. My mind only thought about the benefits that came with his presence in the room.I was not a newbie when it came to playing truth or dare but I was certainly not complaining. The noise was deafening but I resisted paying attention to the hooligans and noise pollutants. "Ooh!" Someone blurted from behind.Justine blinked multiple times. It seemed like he had only just noticed my presence. I crawled towards him and the murmurs from the people involved in the game intensified. They looked like the type of people that were used to these kinds of moments. "What are you doing here?" Justine mumbled against my
"Ally... Ally?" The constant call for my name brought me to reality and I could not help but wince at whoever it was.It felt like the presence of a heart on a forehead, but I suffered a terrible headache."Hm?" I mumbled, still keeping my eyes closed."You should get ready to leave for school." I recognized in that instant that the voice belonged to Ride."School?" I peeked an eye open. "It's almost eight in the morning." She informed me, a smile on her face. I groaned in disapproval, stirred and pulled the blankets over my head rather than oblige to her consideration.
"Here we are." I inserted the key into the door hole and turned twice. Justine stood behind me with the men we had met downstairs. They had been responsible for transporting my bed and he had willingly joined to help."Thank you so much." I sighed in appreciation, holding the door in place while they hurled the huge bed into the room and on to the empty bed bunk.It was a bed sized just for two and it fit perfectly into the empty bunk. Even though I knew the men had been paid, I picked my purse and tipped them off to show my appreciation. "It's nothing, miss." One of the blonde men said in an unfamiliar accent.They all left my presence, leaving Justine and I alone i
