Carry My Child, Miss Laurier

             “Perhaps, the greatest risk any of us will ever take is to be seen as who we really are.” I stated dreamily while holding a medium wand that my father bought for me thirteen years ago. My left foot took a step forward as I smile heartily with both of my hands clasp altogether as I look up in the sky, remembering my favourite fairy tale, Cinderella.My best friend, Everleigh, sighed as she peel off the mask of a tangerine. “You are twenty-one year old with boyfriend who still believes such fairy tales.” She made a tsk sound before taking two slices of tangerine inside her mouth. “Come on girl, we are living in 21st century where people booze up in bars and clubs, butt-party all night, make love and travel from time to time! You do not expect someone to live inside a story book and wait for a Cinderella-like story that your boyfriend could not even

While I am walking on the hallway inside our building, I can't help but to fall a tear from my own eyes, still inside my head on how Elric shakes his head earlier, telling me that he didn't love me a little. That alone makes me want to shout but I contain myself, knowing that I am in the middle of the crowd— students walking to and fro, while I am here, tearing up. I bring my left hand up and bit the side of it, wanting to stop myself from crying hard. My nose is a bit sore now and my muscles are in tension. I could not understand the pain I am currently feeling but one thing is only clear to me...I am hurt.Deeply hurt. I did not expect heartbreak can be this painful. You see, Elric is always been my first love. Who wouldn’t? I mean, he was actually super nice to me. Treat me as if I am that precious, he often calls me sweet names way back when we were just friends. He was always the one who will approach me and ask me out. Lend me his hand alway

I hurriedly grab my things to follow the three guys going outside the room. Some of our block mates notice how my friends went out fiercely and I can feel how their glares are going deep into our backs. The moment I went out, I only saw Rael's back who is consecutively tapping the elevator's button when it closes already, leaving the two of us behind.  My breathing is so heavy the moment I came near him who is now looking down at my face. I am certain how worried flashes over my face, making the latter groan once again before gripping my wrist to get down with him using the stairs. "I seriously can't handle that man when he's mad, you know that. No one can." He whispered as we went down with a sign of hurry. We even almost bump some students but we just apologized and walk back down again. Knowing Levi, amongst these three men, he is closer to me. Aside from Everleigh, I also grew up with him until we finished our grade school. His fami

The next day, I felt Leigh pulling both of my legs upwards while I am still on my deep slumber. I opened my right eye to look at her and the latter is already bathe and dressed. While groaning, I push her using my feet and she immediately squeal when she fell down on the floor. I chuckled as I turn to look on the other side, wanting to go back to sleep but she smack my legs right after she stands up.“Stand the f*ck up and don’t mourn inside this room, you b!tch!” She exclaimed.I frustratedly get up from my bed to sat down, giving my friend an absurd look. “And who says I am mourning?”Everleigh roll her eyes upwards before she kick me on my legs a little then throw me a towel. “Pick yourself. We will be showing that as$hole that you are fine without him.”I watch how Everleigh walks towards our wardrobe then she started screaming while ranting how her night was boring last night and on how Nathan pick her off fr

Waking up with a growling stomach, I look around my room and notice that it is still dark outside. My curtains are still open and the lights from billboards is seen outside. I get up from my bed and notice that the CD player is still there but it a soft melody is being played on it.A smile creeps on my face, realizing that Everleigh did it. She did not bother to get her player back to her room and I really love her for being this soft in terms of my fragility. Since I a famished at this early hour because I did not bother to eat last night, I walk outside my room and notice that it is still 4:19 in the morning. I peek at Leigh’s room first and saw her sleeping soundly so I just smiled and went to the kitchen to make us a breakfast. It just took me maybe half na hour so I ate peacefully in the kitchen while scrolling on my social media account until realization dive down inside.“Goodness, f*ck…” I whispered before I get up from my chair and ra
