GRIPPED UPON SECRET. 18.Her Life
"Is there a problem here?" Ethan! His voice breaks through the iced tension that we are all captured in. "Not at all." The answer comes from the guy who had troubled me. I see the veins visible on the guy's neck, his posture much more tense as he glares down at Ethan's necklace. It's different, unfamiliar to me. " We were only passing by." A cold shiver runs through my spine when he passes a look my way for a moment. I want to go to Ethan but I decide to remain in place. I feel like I shouldn't, not right now. I let out a sigh of relief when the green eyed stranger with his friends, walk past. I feel Alan's hand gently push me more behind him, when that guy attempts to walk a little too close to me. We all stand in place, not moving for some time until they have gone. With the coast clear, I step out from behind Alan and turn to Ethan. His eyes are already on me. An unreadable emotion passes through his eyes, his face all serious as he stands there watching. Something tw
GRIPPED UPON SECRET. 17. A Warning.
It's finally the weekend and I am seriously looking forward to later.I wish I could say it was the excitement that woke me up early, tossing and turning in bed, but no.Last night, the interaction between mom and that nameless man, refused to leave my mind.My mother's behaviour, made me even more curious about her interaction with that man. In my view, he was crowding her. He made her feel uncomfortable. The surprise that appeared on her face when she saw me, didn't scream the good kind of surprise.I sensed that she wish I hadn't shown up last night, at that particular moment. In other words, she wished that man didn't see me.There is something off about that man, whoever he is.He instigated some weird tension between mom and I, last night.Downstairs, I take in a breath as I prepare to talk to mom. I can't let last night go, not when it's a constant thing replaying in my mind. Walking into the kitchen I see her standing by the sink, looking out the window with a cup of tea in ha
GRIPPED UPON SECRET. 16: The Meeting.
I had lost myself in the art again.It felt good, really good.I felt myself smile at times as the brush caressed the easel.This was the life, this moment right here.Art had been another way to speak without words, an expression of the voiceless.I was young when art found me and I never looked anywhere else again. Uncle Johnathan had encouraged me the most, to treasure the love I have for the art.' I believe it's something you were born with, an inheritance possibly.' I'd caught on to those words.Now that they replay in mind, I wonder whether one of my parents was possibly an artist.And if so, I wonder what kind of artist they were.What was their story?After that horrific night, I stopped touching the paint brush.My vision centred around the attack and that deprived me in some sense. Fear had prevented me from doing most things and I felt drained. The journey to the now wasn't easy because all around me, darkened.Without an inch of light.In this moment, I feel light. I ha
GRIPPED UPON SECRET. 15: A past comes to life.
'Little moon.' My eyes shot open as the name rang in mind, reminding me of what happened minutes ago. That name had been what I woke up to, its echo falling into the back of my mind like a background song in a car. Soft but firm and demanding for me to listen. My mind had been quick to scroll through the hidden parts of my brain, selecting a memory from my child hood. I'd heard this name a couple of times then, through dreams and I've recorded down what I could remember about it. Till today, I can't tell what it meant. This call. It felt like a summon at some point but then, what would it be for? I woke up all sweaty but on the floor. I noticed this when my body muscles felt uncomfortable. 'What is going on with me?' I have asked this more times than possible and instead of it annoying me, I felt chills run through parts of my back. It couldn't be happening again. No, not again. 'It was just a dream.' I try to convince myself. I didn't sleep well. 'What made you sleep on
GRIPPED UPON SECRET. 14: The Unrest.
The moon shined brighter than ever at that time of night. Ever since young, Serena had loved watching the moon, surrounded by the millions of stars as if they were a community. As she grew up, the love didn't waver but the attention she gave, was never enough anymore. She felt this way. She had aged, with time either being merciful or harsh with life experiences she went through along the way. Reality felt like a dream while a dream seemed more like a fantasy. In the present now, chance had introduced itself again and Choice, became a thing of the past. The past. It had all fused itself into her present and what a harsh thing, to now call her reality. Each time she visited that secret place, she was reminded of the past she ran away from. She shouldn't have ran away but she did, because she was a coward then. Silence at the time had been her worst move and now she paid the price. Everyday, she was reminded of her biggest betrayal yet. Her silence had been the cause, all
GRIPPED UPON SECRET. 13: I'm scared.
It's in the early evening, I do my homework. I was exhausted, so I took a nap. It was needed. It was good and I enjoyed it. Homework? Not so much. I'm mindlessly biting on my ballpen, doing math equations in my head when I hear it. Her footsteps. A single knock on my door, then she peeks her head in, already announcing that she's here. " Hey Sweetheart." The smile she wears on her face doesn't reach her eyes. Tired eyes. " Hi Mom. Busy day?" She's come home later than usual. I know that it's still early to comment about this, considering the fact that it hasn't been long since she's been working there. " Yes." She nods. " How was school?" She opens the door a little wider, giving herself more room. I shrug, " school is school." She shoots me with a look. " That's not really an answer, but I'll let it be." " School and I have a complicated relationship." I say, my tone light. She chuckles as she heads out. I turn back to my books, letting out a sigh at the amount o
