Still water runs deep. ~Proverb
Violet
I 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
Normal is the wrong word often used for average.~ Henry S. HaskinsColeI waited outside the building where her art classes were held. My t-shirt was inside out in the rush that had commenced back at the house after Bree’s water broke and I drove her and Mad to the hospital.Even though everyone was there in the hospital, giving their support to the would be parents and I had personally asked the doctor who had assured me that everything was looking right and that both mother and child would be fine, I was still a little stressed out with my mind on my best friend and because of my own past.Two days ago Bree felt an excruciating pain in her lower abdomen that Mad had to take her to th
In the house of trust, love is born. ~ A. Gupta Violet My leg throbbed from where Tara had intentionally knocked the can of blue paint that was on my table. In retaliation Daisy had squirted all of her tube colors on Tara’s head, making her hair look like a rainbow. The shriek that had followed was still echoing in my ears and not to forget the evil look Tara had given me before she had stormed off, saying, “Watch your back, bitches.” “We are going home for you to change and then we will go to the hospital.” His words pulled me to the present with a jerk. The word hospital was like cold water on my body as two days ago Mad had taken Bree to the hospital because she had been in so much pain. And it had made m
