My Love - Westlife.
Octavia
I tried flicking my eyes open, but couldn't.
It was difficult. It felt like I was smashed up and patched up. There was this stinging, peircing, uninterrupted pain on my back like I was being repeatedly stabbed with a knife fresh out of the fire. Everything was blank through out, before it'd represent white or black. I could feel nothing. But I did hear voices. Not all the time though."O.C, baby, please move your hand on mine let me know you'd be fine for me. I know you can hear me." I heard a sniff. "The doctor said your chances of leaving is so slim, that a miracle is what we need for you survive."
And the voice which I believed was Eliakim's would fade away, leaving me behind to wallow in my darkness, stillness,

This is the Part two of Me You, Nothing In Between. Beth My name is Bethany Millicent Osaze. I am sixteen years of age, and the first child in the family. My mom had me when she was eighteen, and Dad, Well, let's just say mom was already pregnant with me before she met him. Nevertheless, he still treats me the same like my other half siblings. According to mom, dad used to sing songs to soothe a crying me, when I was little. I was told that he always carried me wherever he went, letting people know that I was his. Was even more than my real father who used mom and dumped her when she was seventeen, without being aware that she was pregnant. My real dad name is Adetayo, and he hasn't had any child till date. After mom birthed me, he wanted to take full custody of me, but mom refused. Even my step dad who I address as "dad" since day one. Turned out that my grandpa was a lawyer an
Its midnight and I wake up to the thump, thump, thump sound on my window. Aware of who it is, I take the covers off me, wear my fluffy flip-flops, and then make my way towards my window. I raise my binders off, and then slide open my window to the lanky giro taking her hoodie off. Her face twists into a huge frown. "Jesus, Beth. What the freaking fudgenuts hell. Don't tell me you are sleeping by this time of the night." Emily exclaims, taking her earphones off her ears. Smacking gum loudly in the mouth. "The others are waiting for you. That's why I was sent to come and get you in the first place." We've been friends since my family moved in here. She's fourteen, in grade ten, and tall like me. And acts like the elder between us two. "Sorry, I forgot. Yesterday was a long day. I was battling with-" She waves her hand away, to dismiss whatever explanation I had to spil
Listen to Give Your Heart A Break by Demi Lovato. Beth His honey brown eyes are so big and beautiful that one can get lost from staring at them too much. He has a nose that looks like it has been broken one too many times, and a hard unforgiving mouth. Plus he's wearing a black hoodie. So I can't see if he's bald on has hair. He is sitting quietly at a corner, and seem to have his eyes fixated on me the whole time. As he raise his band aid clad fingers up to take a drag out of his cigarette. I take a hard dry gulp as he puffs out the curly white smoke of the cigarette, because my insides were suddenly on fire. I didn't feel cold anymore, despite that I have Stephen's jacket around me. I want to know who is this male who has a quiet mystery surrounding him. He isn't even involved in the party ongoing. He's farther away from Stephen and the rest of the adults. And he se
This makes me halt on my tracks, and I turn to face him. "What did you just say?" I ask him, dangerously low. Clenching my fists that I can hear the cracking sounds coming from them. I can feel my body invigorating for war, that I'm shaking more than I intend to. "Did you just open that trashy mouth of yours, and call me a bitch?" I inquire, taking steps slowly and steadily towards him. "Emily, you have to tell your friend to take a chill pill and relax. She's acting really immature. For one who's sixteen with the yummy boobs." Stephen yells towards Emily, who is already standing on her full height, looking really unsettled as she fidgets with her hands. Because she didn't expect any of this to happen. "Shut up, you shameless raccoon of a cousin brother." She growls at Stephen. And Stephen shuts his flap, before scratching the back of his head in an awkward manner. It's still unbeliev
