LOGINThe night was dark, with only the gentle light from the moon shedding and casting its warm glow over the earth. Stars littered the night sky, and against the pitch black backdrop of it all, the scene above looked nothing short of a beautiful painting. The sound of leaves crunching underneath someone's feet cut straight through my thoughts. Immediately, I turned to the side, and standing a couple of feet away from me, was a black wolf, tall and mighty with its beady eyes staring down at me. A couple of moments passed as we both stared at each other, none of us daring to move. Something swirled in the pit of my stomach and before I could make sense of all that was happening, I found myself transforming back into my human form. My fear heightened when I realized whoever it was, was still in its wolf form. I didn't have to think too much because I'd barely mumbled the rest of the questions, before the wolf morphed into his human form, and the moment he did, a huge smile made its wa
I gently pushed the door to my bedroom shut. When a small click reached my ears, I heaved a sigh of relief. I had no idea why I'd just done that. Mum was probably halfway to slumber town now, so why was I so worried that I would have woken her?I sighed again, before gently clasping my hands together. A slight tremble rocked my fingers, but I kept them together, going they would stop soon.Luckily for me, it didn't last long. The moment I witnessed the last of it, I headed to my study desk in the corner of the room and pulled out my books. I had a test in the morning, and AP Chemistry, isn't something you just waltz through with an empty brain. I knew there was trouble the moment I read the first line and was unable to grasp anything. After trying for the second and third time, and still nothing had changed, I just knew I was cooked. There was no way I could focus on studying, not when there was something on my mind. No, not something. Someone.Zayn.No matter how many times I t
I squirmed in my seat as I fought to keep my giddy self from doing something I would regret later. I had my back turned to the mirror as the make-up artist swiped at my cheeks with some brushes. A low giggle slipped past my lips as the brush tickled me. "Hold still now." She chuckled as she dabbed at my cheeks a couple of times. The makeup artist was a petite young woman of about my age or more. " I'm almost done." "Okay." It was taking everything in me not to jump out of this chair and get everything going. Don't get me wrong, I was overly excited about this. " How long do I have to wait for?" "You don't need to." I peeled open my eyes as I got the go-ahead from her to turn to the mirror. I spun in my swivel chair and a huge gasp left my lips the moment I jammed my reflection in the wall-size mirror. I looked gorgeous and I wasn't even exaggerating. In all honesty, gorgeous wasn't the right word for it. It didn't even add up. Two strands of my blonde hair shimmered down the si
"To my sunshine." I grabbed the letter before reading it out loud, a goofy grin on my face. " I can't wait a second to make you mine, but before that, here's a bouquet of roses to remind you that nothing can stand next to how beautiful you are." My grin widened as I hugged the bouquet, its scent wafting through my nostrils. This entire gesture was so Adam; he was the sweetest man in the world and I was so lucky to have bagged him. Another sigh slid past my lips. I missed him terribly. We hadn't seen or spoken to each other in the past week. Why? Because Sam insisted we didn't. She had this crazy ritual that included no calls, texts, or meetings between the bride and groom until the wedding day. Since she was a mutual friend and it was all good fun, we couldn't say no right? A thought occurred to me almost instantly. I was alone and had plenty of time so no one would know, right? It didn't take long for me to decide; I was going to do it. After gently setting the roses aside, I made
Goosebumps crept up my skin at the sound of that. No, it couldn't be. Adam? No! I struggled to wrap my head around it. There was no way. Adam would never do this to me. It just wasn't possible. Or maybe I was exaggerating things, or even overreacting maybe. I still didn't know who was in there so how could I be jumping to conclusions? I took in deep breaths for a couple of seconds as I thought of what to do. After I'd sucked in oxygen to my satisfaction, I bent down to sneak a peek at the keyhole. Adam always said he would look into it, but he never got to fixing it and I couldn't be more glad. The moment I got a good view of the room, I recoiled back immediately, bile rising in my throat. If I hadn't just seen it with my eyes, no way in hell would I have believed it? Sprawled wide on his bed with his hands behind his chocolate brown hair, was none other than Adam. I didn't know which was disgusting, the sight of him or the naked woman on top of him. Even in my sleep, I would be
I watched as we zoomed past the beautiful buildings, the world on the other side passing by in nothing but a blur. A cacophony of colors swirled against the raindrops that slid down the limousine's windows, giving me a live view of a real-life painting. It was beautiful, and maybe if I was in a better mood, I would have enjoyed it. But now, nothing, nothing else asides from the plan I had in mind could patch up my shattered heart. "... we're late because of you." I found myself tuning into my mother's recent conversation. She was seated opposite me as she lashed out. Whether it was at me or the driver, I wasn't exactly sure. " Do you know what this means?" "I'm talking to you Alessia." I guess she actually was talking to me. "What do you have to say for yourself?" " I'm sorry," I mumbled without emotion. Everyone was tensed up, me included, the last thing I wanted was to push my problems on someone else. " I'm really sorry mum. I didn't mean to make us late." "Oh, It's okay. " She
A cool breeze rushed at me the moment I swung the door at the top of the stairwell open. Like a door leading to somewhere unknown, I stepped into the fresh air. The space in front of me was empty, with nothing but a glass railing that bordered off the edges. It was basically a flat surface with
There was no way I'd just heard right. It just wasn't even possible. Not in this life or the next. Had he any idea what he'd just said? It wasn't some kind of word you could just toss around when you wanted to. It was bloody murder. Murder!“What?!” For a split second, I thought I'd somehow man
The stench of alcohol wafted into my nostrils and I scrunched up my nose, fighting the urge to barf for the umpteenth time. It'd barely been an hour since we were here and I couldn't count the number of times I'd almost retched and puked out my guts. Oh, what I would give to be anywhere but here.
I didn't know for how long I had passed out, but now that I was awake, it didn't make sense that I was having mixed feelings about it. I was like a bunny trapped in a dark hole. I wanted to get out, find out what was on the other side, but the zeal to move was nowhere to be found. I wanted to ope
