It's December twenty-fifth and almost three months I never got to talk with my parents, I am mad at them for leaving me alone but I couldn't bring myself to contact them either. The town is celebrating Christmas but I stay alone not really in the mood for Christmas. Days turn months and soon months will turn year. If only my parents are with me I would have bought gifts and we would have been so happy celebrating Christmas together. As he said Liam goes to college from his home, we would never stay alone together, so we hardly talk with each other. Chase texted me last night to meet up today and I am meeting him later. I know it's unfair for him to prolong this relationship and it needs to stop. No matter what I am breaking up with him. I was watching a movie with a phone in my hand scrolling the Instagram feed. I raised head and froze when I see Liam in the doorway staring at me. The intensity in his eyes makes me want to run out of the rooms. He was supposed to be in the church and
It's new year's eve today, I woke up with a huge headache, I indulge myself in the book most of the time because honestly, that's the best distraction I could find. Justin would play with me sometimes, probably Aunt idea but that kid makes me laugh so hard sometimes. He's ten this year and being the youngest one still acts like a kid. A week passed and I haven't seen Liam since that night, the whole week is really hard for me, I only think about him. Aunt Ruth refuse to let me stay home for the rest of the week so I would sometimes go to church or tag along with her to the malls and grocery store. She's the epitome of a cheery woman. I decided to work at the town library for my expense and Aunt Ruth got the job the for me. I am glad I don't have to haul myself in the room for the whole day. As for today, I decided to join the New year's function because Aunt is too persistence. Youths are supposed to decorate the church and the town entrance. Liam and I always use to go and play with
Two years ago, It's November now, the month in which every student appear their exam, as for me I have my matriculation In February, Liam will appear his 11th-grade exam in January, in short, we won't be able to enjoy our holiday. Sad life I know. I wish I could be like Justin because he just finish his exam yesterday and he doesn't have to study until the new session starts next year.When will I grow up and marry Liam?It's not the first time I envision my future, getting married to him on the sea beach, us having our kids, it's everything I dream of in the daytime rather than studying. If my mom knows I have feelings for my brother with no blood relation she is sure to be disappointed in me. So, I never tell anyone about my feelings for Liam.Better safe than be sorry. I walk down the street muttering curses under my breath, mom has asked me to bring vegetables from Liam home because their relatives sent them from their place. While I was busy sleeping considering I don't have a
I raise my head and place my lips on his warm one, I could hear my heart beating erratically I fear he would hear it, Liam stay stilled and I pull apart feeling so ashamed. What was I thinking? Of course, he doesn't feel the same way. "I am sorry Liam " I mutter looking down, Liam lifts my chin and looks at me intensely, his lips came crashing down on mine in a second, it takes a moment for me to realize Liam is kissing me back and I love every minute of it. He tastes like a lemon tea probably from drinking before, his lips are the sweetest thing on earth. Our lips move in sync like we have done it million times, I love how it was our first yet it feels so familiar. He kisses me deeply, passionately as I matter to him, while I pour my love for him through my kisses. We pull apart later leaning our foreheads together smiling at what just happen. Liam is smiling widely like he just won a prize, I probably look the same. "Scar I love you " Liam whispers at me, my heart thud at his word
The smell of the strawberry shampoo enters my nostrils as water drips down my body. The cold water someone soothes my body and mind, although it is chilly outside and I am likely to catch a cold from standing under the cold water for almost an hour, I don't have the will to step away. My mind can never rest from all the thoughts I've conjured up, I could never understand why my parents never contacted me nor why Liam refuses to say anything. I walk out of the shower only when my feet began to itch from the coldness, I dress warmly in a beanie on my head, a dark maroon scarf and my blue jeans pair my favourite blazer. Anywhere away from the house is a blessing. I waited for Aunt Ruth in the living room playing with my long strand of hair mindlessly. She promises me to drop me off in the first day, I look up when I hear oddly familiar footsteps walking my way, my eyes met with Brown pair of tired eyes, dark circles around his eyes, I look away before I get lost in his eyes. "Hey" I ru
Two years ago,The skies are covered with mist, the weather freezing with no sign of any sunlight, our teeth chattering under the covers, we are supposed to study but we were in our bed shivering. "Scarlet, will you stay here?" Charlotte says hugging me closer. I lean to her warm body my eyes drooping, I nod my head mindlessly to her question. Charlotte and I share our room, both of us usually sleep together despite provided two different beds. "Scarlet don't you dare sleep again, you are supposed to help me pack my bags " she pushed me taking the covers off me. "It's freakingly cold, lotte please show me some mercy ""I told you not to call me that, " she says annoyed, I call her lotte because it is similar to lotte duty-free. she'll end up pinching me if I call her that. I woke up groggily rubbing the sleep off my eyes, It's December twenty-third, we all are supposed to go home for Christmas but I am still mad at my parents and my so-called boyfriend for sending me here. It's bee
Two years ago,"Merry Christmas" we all shouted in unison, The people around us were laughing and hugging wishing each other. It's midnight exactly and all the church members were sitting around the bonfire waiting for midnight. The representative's blast beautiful fireworks, the skies fill with multiple colours, Liam grips my hand tighter as we watch the firework display, it's such a beautiful moment, I wanted to replay it over and over again. "Merry Christmas scar, I love you so much " he whispers in my ears kissing my cheek. We were at the back so it's hard for people to see us, I grin up at him mouthing back the word 'I love you' If only I could stay like this forever. Soon, my parents came to wish me, my mom pinching my cheek playfully. "Merry Christmas love " "Merry Christmas mom, where is daddy?" I ask looking around for my dad. "He went to sleep early honey, are you ready to go back?" "Hmm, mom can I stay a bit longer, Liam can drop me home," I ask hoping she would say y
Continue......."Hello" Liam speaks in the phone, Sienna pulls back as soon as she kisses my cheek, I grimace at the feel of her lips."Yes, Aunt we'll be back" Liam speaks in the phone. All pairs of eyes are focused on him, the guys whistle at Sienna and I but both of us were glaring at each other. I don't care if she finds out about Liam and me as long as she backs off."Liam is that mom?" I ask sitting down beside him."It's not" he whispers in my ears, I look at him questioningly."I'll tell you later " he replies tugging me close to him. I could see our peers casting glances towards us.Bryan spin the bottle again, finally pointing towards Liam, I could hear my heart beating suddenly."Liam truth or dare?" Sienna asked in excitement."Truth" he announces. I release a breath of relief unknowingly."Okay, Do you have someone you like?" She asks her eyes fill with hope. Some of them nod their head approvingly at the question. Sienna and her friends were squealing while I roll my eye
