I could feel it. The darkness swarming around me. It was suffocating, the last thing that could ever relate to begin pleasant. I was slowly chocking on the pressure around me. It was empty and dark as always. Nothing or no one around, yet it felt like I was drowning deep deep down in an ocean. An ocean of despair.She had to be here. She was so close i could feel it. I could feel her presence around me even though I could not see even the shadow that she did not have.
She stud there silently drinking in my appearance, then a heavy sigh escaped her lips as she took hurried steps and embraced me in a light hug. She cupped my face between her hands and kissed my forehead lightly, a faint smile forming on her lips."When did you get home?""Early this morning." I replied watching her cautiously. There was an edge to her features. She looked slightly u
The harsh smell of medicine and clinic hit my nostrils as I stepped into the hospital. The air-con hit me fast causing faint goosebumps to rise up my skin and a cold shiver run down my spine as I hugged my arms around myself.I did not waste time getting to Ming's hospital room. My mind was racing with a million thoughts, but overruled by then all was the hope that she was indeed awake and okay.
My eyes remained stuck staring at his dark brown ones. Fully shocked I could not seem to close my lips that now had a small space between them, hanging inches apart like a gaping fish.The waves on his natural dark coily hair stayed smoothened in perfect lines on his head. Amusement danced around his eyes as he bit on his lower lip and smoothened the rough little stubble on his chin with his index and thumb fingers, still looking right back at me.
This is the first time I'm doing this, and I'm very sorry this isn't a chapter, but I felt it was necessary to let you guys know about my current predicament, mostly to avoid any hate speach or over pushing on my comment section.I'm going to be slacking a little on my updates more lately than before. Why? Because I have a life outside writing, a situation of most which I can't mention here most importantly.I'm not in a right state right now and things are a bit tough but I'm only saying this to explain why I won't be updating quite often anymore as it's affecting me gravely.And to top all of that, there's school... A very time and energy consuming thing that's also going to affect my updating schedule. Yes! I am still very much a student in every sense...But I'm going to try my very best to post at least a chapter every week. I hope you can understand, you
MY HANDS MOVED fluently on their own accord around the scrawny sketch pad now covered in scrambled up images. I had the picture in my head yet whenever I tried to put it down to paper it always came out so wrong.'Why?'I nearly screamed out of frustration at the remedy then I stopped for just a moment to take in my hand work. It was a rough sketch indeed. The darkened lines bind with the edges of her skin put me at an edge, it wasn't even real... Yet I was jolting. This is my doing, my work, my drawing, of a creature that had hunted my dreams for so long up till now.The hollowness in the depths of it's eyes made my stomach clench. Knowing fully well that it was inside of me and it could probably see exactly what I was doing right then....or not.I remember the empty look in it's eyes like I was staring at it live all over again. But I refused to be consumed by the thought, and just
"About?" I swallowed, not in anyway liking the intensity in the words that just fell off her lips.Ming sighed deeply, looking around to see if anyone was looking in thier direction before lowering her head and whispering one word, one name, that had my brows going up and the extra mile. "Isabella.""You know... The doctor?" She said."What about her?"" I can't really pinpoint it... But there's something up with her. " She looked like she was in deep thought, there was little wrinkle between her brows as she stared down at her fruit punch and spoke low tones. "While I was blanked... I saw something".With those words, I sat upright now full-fledged, interested in what she was saying and so was Faye.The way Ming's fingers shook when she said those words, ever so slightly i would have missed it if I was not trying to observe every bit of her movements and reactions,
Even though the vacancy in this small fitted diner was becoming more and more after brunch serves, the place was still noisy, filled with laughter and clashing of plates cups or glasses but yet still the silence in the tiny space at the back in our little corner booth between my friends was deafening to my ears.I watched Ming's expression contour into one of confusion and Faye's into one of disappointment.
