Adrian looked all around his home office, wondering how he got to that point. He could hear the echoes of Mrs Henderson's words asking him if he was truly alright. He used to think he was fine, he didn't think so anymore. He didn't understand who he was anymore. He was a complete shadow of himself and he knew it.

All he could think about was Elena-her smile, the smell of her hair every morning, her big eyes which always attracted him to her. Even after hours of working long, he always felt better when he looked into those big round eyes of hers. "Oh! How I would love to see those eyes again and forget myself in them."

He heaved a sigh.

"Why the hell did I let you go Elena? I miss you so much...I love you so much. I was so stupid...so foolish to let a damsel like you go. You were a jewel in my life, that...I didn't notice your worth until you were gone. What am I going to do now? How can I win you back when you wouldn't even cast a glance at me?"

  • Hey! I Want You Back   The Silence Before The Storm

    Sunlight steamed through the curtains and cast golden patches across the living room floor. Aria sat cross-legged on the rug right in front of the television. Her concentration was fierce as she stacked brightly-coloured building blocks onto a tower that looked like it was going to fall anytime soon.Elena sat on the couch still in her pajamas. Her legs were tucked beneath her. Sophie handed her a steaming cup of tea and for herself a steaming cup of coffee. She sipped her cup of coffee as she lazily flipped through a digital movie catalog on the tablet on her lap."I was thinking we could have a movie night this evening just before bed time." Sophie said.Just then, Elena's phone buzzed on the coffee table by her side. She picked it up and as soon as she did that, she read the content of the message she had received."Charity brunch. Today. 11 AM," she said.She heaved a sigh as she silenced her phone.Sophie giggled. "Do you plan to ghost Callahan's networking opportunities? He's de

  • Hey! I Want You Back   The Shadow Of Her

    Every place speaks something. Hers spoke silence.She sat on the edge of her creme leather couch, her left heel still on, the other kicked somewhere in the room. A half filled glass of red wine sat untouched in hr hand. The room she was in remained still as if it was expecting her to do something. It was as admirable as it could be. It didn't look like a soul stayed there at all. But she did.There it was-a photograph on the console. There was a company retreat a few springs ago. The photograph was taken at sunset on the rooftop bar of the hotel they had stayed in. The man she loved stood beside her in a tailored beige suit. One hand was in his pocket and the other resting on the back of her chair. And he was smiling. His smile did not look forced or anxious.But she knew. He wasn't smiling at her.She picked up the frame from the console and began to trace the edge of the frame.She remembered the time he used to smile at her, cancel meetings just to be with her, whisper things as so

  • Hey! I Want You Back   Fractured Memories

    As the clock struck 10:45 PM, the rain taps could be heard audibly as it hit the windowpane. At this time, Aria was asleep, Sophie was busy with her book in her room and Elena was on the edge of her bed with her journal in her hands, flipping through the past pages. As she flipped through the pages, something caught her attention. The ink on the said page was slightly faded. "He bought us two tickets to a jazz night I casually mentioned once, and he was not even a fan of jazz. I caught him watching me more than he listened to the music so many times that night. It was that night I knew. It was that night I knew he loved me. And that scared me more than anything else. I did not know how to hold something that felt so big. A small laugh escaped her lips, watery and real. She remembered the way he leaned towards her that night. It was as if the music gave him a bit of courage- enough to close the distance between them. Tears welled up in her eyes. They were gentle and unhurried. These

  • Hey! I Want You Back   Between The Lines

    There she was-home As she stepped in, the dim light radiated her skin as the soft gum of the refrigerator filled the silence. Aria was on the couch, all curled up. A blanket was tucked around her legs, as her favourite stuffed bunny rested in her lap. Sophie offered a gentle smile as she saw Elena walk in. She kept the book she was reading face down on her laps. "Hey, Elena," she said almost whispering. "How did your meeting turn out?" Elena did not answer right away. She set her bag on the counter. She pulled off her heels and walked towards Aria. She placed the back of er right palm on Aria's forehead. As soon as she did this, she heaved a sigh because she realized that Aria's fever had eased a little. "It went well," she said trying to maintain her cool. "Everything is set." Sophie studied Elena and decided not to push it. "Okay, that's good." Elena's eyes were fixed for rather too long on Aria. Her jaw was too tight to match her words. She sat on the floor next to the couch

  • Hey! I Want You Back   Three Years Too Late

    The sound of the applause roared through the board room in Montgomery & Co. as Adrian stood to make a speech. "Good morning everyone. Well, I have to say I am extremely impressed by all of your work. I decided to see what Montgomery had to offer when they pitched the idea for a state-of-the-art high-rise. Believe me, it is nothing like I have ever seen before. And I am glad to say I would be glad to invest in this project." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, everyone present in the board room stood to their feet as the room burst into applause, sealing the moment of success for Montgomery & Co. Elena was as glad as any other person in that room but yet he maintained her poise. At that moment, it was impossible to read her mind. Fixing his gaze on her, Adrian wondered if she still had any feelings for him as she wore a blank expression on her face. As soon as the meeting ended, Adrian walked briskly across the room hoping to have a conversation with Elena. But Elena saw
