Shaking off all the thoughts, I waited for Eric to return. I couldn't call anyone. I seriously need to go there and meet.It's all because of the invention of the phone that we never memorize anyone's numbers.But I'll memorize everyone's numbers now. As Eric entered the room, he raised his eyebrows twice before resting them again asking me if I called anyone."I don't remember anyone's number." I sighed. I left my phone in the car before we headed to meet Roy. I frowned as a question popped up in my mind."It's okay. Meet them when you're okay." He patted my head."Can I ask you something?" I asked. Seeing my serious face, he frowned too."Yeah, sure.""When you found me, did you find anyone else with me?" I asked.I know this might be a stupid question or may create many doubts but I needed to make sure if Roy was still alive.He hesitated to speak for a while which tensed me. Growing up anxiety ate up all my patience as I sat straight ignoring the pain for some time."Uh... yes." H
When Dora was about sleep, she realized she haven't talked with Fred all day. Her health was improving slowly which was unexpected.She thought her body was strong enough to cure anything, but she was so wrong. Sighing deeply, she lay on the bed staring at the ceiling quietly thinking about the giftshe brought. The gift might be useless but she had no idea if Fred would find it cute.After roaming a lot in the market, she ended up calling her little sister for any ideas and the suggestion was so simple! She regretted not having any gift buying knowledge but it wasn't like it was her choice though. Thinking of a gift for Fleur was a tough job as she didn't know much about her so all she could buy was a show flower bouquet with no fragrance.Just when she was about to doze off, a notification on her phone made her excited as she quickly grabbed it and checked it was Fred.An instant smile took place on her sleepy face as her fingers started replying to his texts.Soon after a long talk
Walking inside Dora's room, he expected to find Sylvie beside her, but she wasn't. Maybe she went to the terrace. He went to check if she was fine and found her standing safely behind the grill, her back in his direction. He didn't disturb her and went back to Dora who was still sleeping. Sitting beside her, he stroked her hair thinking about the word Sylvie told but he ignored it in between the argument. 'Boyfriend' she had said. How did she get to know? Guess this little girl was smart. He scoffed and looked at Dora's eyes which were closed. He was yearning to see her Hazel orbs but seeing her like this, he found her adorable. —Frederick's POV— She smiled. When I looked at her, I couldn't help myself but wonder what was she dreaming about. Are you dreaming about me? So silly of me. You'd even be hitting me in your dreams for god knows which fault I committed. I scoffed at my thoughts leaning back, still stroking her cheeks. They're not wet because of tears but I could feel her
The light creeping into the ocean shadows, the long strings reaching the depth were visible to my naked eyes when I kept drowning with no hope of another day. I kept floating.Thoughts were swirling in my head but I could ignore them as I felt my lungs filling up and my nerves stinging with sharp pain before relaxing. I was going numb.Surrendering to the waves of the deep oceans, I closed my eyes and the corner of lips lifted up. I was finally free.Free from betrayal, free from humiliation, free from being a weakling, free from this toxic world.And I thought those would be last thought before I felt cold air invading my lungs and I coughed heavily shaking my vocal cords. I felt a hand rubbing my back but I kept breathing as in instinct. But I was in rage. I was on the land because someone had decided to be a helpful human and help me out of the water as if that was what I actually wanted. Where do good and kinds humans go when you actually need them?I looked up to find a group of
I returned back home with a deep sorrow for deciding to end things in such a rush. It was indeed a hasty decision and I was too self centred to just think about myself when I had someone who looked up to me all the time.Gabrialla. My little bean. Even though she recently had a coming age of ceremony but I still see the little girl before my eyes when she smiles, when she cries, and when she holds the whole universe in her eyes. Gabrialla needed me to have the universe in her eyes. Because I agree or not, I was her life. And I was too cruel to take that one thing away from her when she found purpose of her life in someone else."How's college?" I asked the girl who now had calmed down and gulped down the whole glass of water."It's okay." She whispered and looked at me. "You won't do something like that again, right?" The little girl asked."No." I replied softly and kissed her forehead."Can I trust you?" She asked, breaking my heart."Yes." I answered. I felt a pang in my heart wit
As if the heavy burden was never on my body and I never lost my breath, I jerked up from my sleep with my eyes wide and breathing shallow.The first thing, my eyes noticed was the photo frame hanging just in front of my eyes on the wall ahead which showed me and my sister laughing at each other while hugging and our hair were made into something funny.I frowned and looked around to see a huge room, probably the size of my studio apartment and the clear full moon shining outside my window on the other side of my closed curtains.I heard a knock followed my the click and the door flung open showing a tall figure."What is it, Yun?" A sleepy deep voice spoke, while rubbing his eyes. "Another nightmare?" He added.The horror now was not being at an unknown place, which looked like it belonged to me, but the man's identification."You...you..." I shivered to even take his name from my tongue. The land owner, my bully since high school, was standing casually and asking me a question which
"Now will you please tell me what's wrong?" A soft voice from behind me spoke and caught my attention. Mia looked at me with tired eyes that woke up just because of me but lips held a slight smile in assurance that everything was okay now. But what was wrong? Didn't I just get smashed under the heavy bricks and rods? Why is this situation so different from my everyday life? Where's Gabriella? "I...don't understand..." I muttered, biting my lips and trying to recall if my memory was a dream and if I remembered any of this life or this right was a dream. "What is it that you do not understand?" Calvin asked softly and cupped my cheeks. I pushed his hands away slowly and sighed. "Everything!" I answered honestly, ignoring the fact that none of them would understand what I meant. Not that I was gonna explain anything anyway. "What do you mean?" Mia asked, frowning. "Nothing. Can I be alone, please?" I asked, pulling my knees to my chest. "Are you okay, babe?" Calvin asked. "Yeah."
I opened my eyes to the surroundings of white ceiling and walls and four people looking at me with concern. I was laying on the hospital bed with white sheets covering my body and dim lights accompanied by the sunrays lightening the room.I took a deep breath in the silence andWhere was my sister? Mia walked closer. She touched my forehead and smiled."Fever's gone." She turned around and said to others. My eyes wandered at each of the faces. Mia, who's eyes looked red and puffy — she had cried. Calvin looked equally scared as her, hair still a mess. Alice, who had sadness in her brown orbs, was standing across the wall with her hands folded before her. The man who I didn't know was rather looking differently at me.Though he was concerned but he seemed to have a doubt in me. He was suspiciously eyeing me as if wanting me to answer his questions which were unasked."Yuna...babe." Mia called softly and I looked at her. I was confused and my mind felt foggy with all questions and surrou
