Sometimes a hint of light at the end of the tunnel is enough to give the strength you thought you didn't have. ~A. Gupta
Six Months Later...

“It’s beautiful...” I whispered softly as I laid my palm on Bree’s swollen stomach. She was almost reaching her full term and I was fascinated by the way her baby was letting everyone know that he was ready to come out in the world.
Brenna looked at me, her own brown eyes were wide in amazement but unlike me her wonder was for me speaking those two words. Slowly, but I was starting to feel comfortable with the Carters. These people have become a part of my life that brings me nothing but safety. Until now I was a family m
Every time someone falls in love, there's another person who is wishing that he hadn’t.~ A. GuptaColeFuck.I shouldn’t have drunk that last bottle.Or one before that.Or the one before that.But who was fucking counting to stop me.I stumbled out of the bar, third of the night as in the last two the bartender thought I’d had enough for the night. The stupid fucking bastard didn’t know anything about enough.The only thing I’d had enough was...Enough was the pain I had been try
Still water runs deep. ~ProverbVioletI couldn’t sleep.I tossed and turned on the bed, the blanket warm and comfortable on me but it felt heavy and smothering. The light in my room was on, it was as bright as it could be and still I was tense like I was engulfed in the dark. And there were monsters to drag me back into my past.I glared at the empty chair by my bed and couldn’t help but curse him for making me so dependent on him.I didn’t realize or maybe I didn’t care as long as he continued to give me what I wanted, but now as he was glaringly absent, taking away the silent crutch that he was to me, I realized how much I’d come to depend on
She was the beautiful dream I had been searching for. The one to wake me up. ~Atticus.ColeI woke up with a banging in my head and one on my bedroom door. “Go the fuck away!” I grumbled but instead of going away, whoever was on the other side of the door entered my room.I slipped my head under the blanket, snippets of last night coming back to me and I groaned inwardly. I wanted to go back to the awesome fucking dream I was having. Those blue eyes were peering down at me and her fucking lap was the best mattress I had ever slept on. I wanted to jump back into that dream and forget about the reality.I heard the footsteps coming closer and squeezed my eyes shut. Fuck. I said, &l
Sometimes life gives you a second chance because maybe the first time you weren’t ready for it. ~UnknownViolet“You look tired...” Mrs Carter said as I sat down on the kitchen counter.“Couldn’t sleep.” I mumbled as I crossed my hands on the counter and laid my head down.First, I was unable to sleep without him being there in my room. And then when I went to his room, it was impossible for me to sleep with him looking so lost and hurt. I had spent four hours sitting on his bed with his head in my lap. It was only when I had heard Dominic and Maddox out in the backyard, playing basketball that I had slipped out of his room. Normally, Cole joined those two, but Maddox must’v
“According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with four arms, four legs and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves.”ColeAs Maddox and Mrs Carter left the kitchen, leaving me alone with her, I turned around to look at her. She sat with her palms wrapped around her coffee mug. Her profile was to me as she glared down at her coffee like somehow that caffeinated drink had offended her.I sat down on the stool beside her and shifted. My mind replayed the words Maddox had said to me. He wasn’t the one who had taken care of me last night when he had brought me home, which made it clear who was. And it also highlight
Obsession.If it’s both ways, it’s not crazy madness. It’s a love language. ~A. GuptaVioletI sat in my bed and looked down at him. Like the other night, he looked beautiful as he slept. For me, I could not sleep. I was restless and even though my eyes were tired and my body needed sleep, I couldn’t seem to fall asleep.And it made me wonder if one could be addicted to touch. Specifically his.I sighed.When he had entered my room, I had pretended to be asleep as I didn’t want to look at him and see his expression for what I had done. I hadgone to Brandon’s room and
Quandary (noun)A state of perplexity or uncertainty over what to do in a difficult situation.Violet“What are you thinking?” Brenna asked as she tried to adjust the pillows behind her back. I stood up and did it for her, it was getting difficult for her to move around even a little with her pregnancy at its final stage. “You have been awfully quiet.”I rolled my eyes at her. ‘I am always quiet.’She made a face at me and said, “I meant you haven’t even talked to my son. I’m sure he misses his auntie Vi.” I looked up at her in surprise. She gave me a soft smile and said, “Everyone of
My nightmares bleed through my fingers on the white canvas, but sometimes a dream sneaks in between. ~A.GuptaViolet“I don't know how you do it,” I turned toward the familiar voice. Daisy said, “You are seriously so talented, Violet. I still can't draw a perfect arc without erasing it a few times.”‘Thankyou,' I smiled up at her. Daisy had been my friend since I joined the community classes. She was five four, and has black eyes with dark hair framing her face. And she was sweet. She always had something good to say to me. Unlike most people who treated me like I was disabled and shouldn’t be here learning art just because I couldn't speak— they think that I was a p
