WU
Slow but steady droplets of water fell to the ground in a somewhat rhythmic fashion as i heaved a sigh.
The constant noise of heavy rain drops hitting the roof was already enough to disrupt my sleep but just as i thought of the worst that could happen
-the roof began to leak in several strategic places.
I muttered as i turned over to the other side before raising the blanket over my head and just as i finally decided to close my ears i felt a tap on my shoulders.
At first, i shrugged it off as nothing but my imagination till i felt it again, this time, pressing harder.
"Wu" I heard a low voice amidst the noise and i pulled down the blanket to see Susan by my bed.
"The roof's leaking on the top bunk" She said as she pushed me before bending to lie in my bed.
"Relax, this isn't going
MARIAI smoothered my jumpsuit but before walking down the corridor and into the visiting room.The once in a while we were given the chance to receive visitors, was presumably short and as i walked on, i sighted Gloria by the doorway.She had been a wreck for those first few days, but after she had her first hearing, it seemed it went almost as good enough as we hoped.And that was a reason i remained optimistic for mine, my master calendar hearing was drawn a week earlier as soon as i spoke to the lawyer that Marc hired."How are you doing?" I placed my hand across her lower back before walking towards the table."Maria" Marc's eyes gleamed in surprise as i sat across."Marc" I called and a smirk formed on his lips."Your boys, i think they're going to be fine. I've hired a very prominent lawyer that handles immi
WUTHE NIGHT OF THE MURDERLike every bad decision i ever made, it all started in a bar-The colors of street lights smeared from behind the blurring glass by the sides of the less eccentric bar closer to my house.I turned around, stealing glances each time i heard the ding sound of the opening door-It was as if i was reliving that night all over again, but this time, clearer.Soon, after looking at the fast paced clock and then at the text that displayed on my phoneWu: Can we talk? At the bar down the block--i decided to leave, finally letting it sink that all of this was a not a good idea.But then, she walked in with her hands in her black leather jacket and her eyes behind a darker shade of her usual glasses,-probably because she
JACQUELINEONE WEEK LATERJules helped by folding the ends of the box that was labeled with miscellaneous-"I'm officially moved in" I whispered to Emily with a wink, and she literally squealed in excitement."Where's your brother?" I asked and she gave an eye roll- "Probably down the block or somewhere" She shrugged her shoulders before walking off."Thanks" I said, turning to Jules."At least now i don't have to worry about rent and utilities-" I joked with a smile as i turned to the box."Ever since Harry, and you know, working shifts in a coffee shop ain't gonna pay my rent" I paused after she let out a shrill laughter."I'm sorry about, Wu" She said, hesitantly."Oh, it's not your fault-" I waved off with a scoff."I did testify about the
WUThe voices of each reporter, all overshadowed by the song in my head as i walked back into the van.Slowly, enough to hear the soft clangs of the metal handcuffs against my wrists and i turned away from the press and their suffocating questions.The security stretched his arms to push them back wards as i came down those steps before the hot flashes and the clicking of their cameras.And while the distinct attorney gave the overall press conference, the door was shut.The bangs. And the flashes. The clicking. The verdict.And those Goddamn voices in my-****"Fucking head" I gasped, jolting from my bed before i sighed at another consecutive nightmare.And i fell back into the bed, my hands into my face.TWO WEEKS LATER
AALIYAHYou could say death gives one a whole new perspective about life, never will i have agreed till i as there--hanging in the imbalance between life and death, swirling in an oblivion that held the truth.And there's just something about that, that changes you, that is if, you make it out.If you make it back.But the real truth is, you have to have tasted death to understand the true meaning of life.****TWO WEEKS EARLIERI shut my eyes, shaking frantically at the sound of the gunshot that managed to pierce right above me.He groaned, clutching his bleeding wound as he placed the gun to the table in anger before hitting me across my face with his feet."This was not how it was supposed to end" He muttered, blood spilling through my lips as i rolled.&nb
MARIAMy gaze buried deep into the swirling of the coffee i had in my hands and i could swear it reflected right in my pupils, perhaps that was what Marc looked at.He pulled away as the smell drifted past my nose with the heat and i smiled. The smell of sweet, fresh coffee.That was underrated and the sight of a sexy man in an apron too.I bit my lip as he stole a kiss, juggling the pan in his hands which held the pancakes before dishing them unto the plates.He glided his hips stiffly from each sides to the sound of a latin music as maybe a way to impress me.But he already did. And i wish I could tell him, there was no need, Marc.But God, i loved his moves. And his hair and his food.I loved him-And the hot coffee in my hands.
JACQUELINEFEW MONTHS BACK"Harry, come on-" I groaned, my arms in the air as i yawned, turning my face away from the camera."I'm terrible, I'm just waking up-" I rubbed around my eyes as he pulled away the covers, climbing on top of me with the camera in his hands."Which makes you more beautiful. Natural is beautiful" He said, placing soft kisses down my neck and i scoffed, pushing him to fall on the other side."I told you, i don't cheesy. They make me cringe" I said, without resisting the smile that crept to my lips.He shut the camera close before placing it unto the table and climbing back unto me."I need to get to work-" I mumbled before he shut me up with a kiss that slowly went down my torso."Oh-"****I peered from behind the fenc
AALIYAH"Ah-" I groaned as i struggled to sit, my legs swinging from the edge of the bed, after which i sighed."You don't need to stress yourself honey" My mother's hands dug into my messy curls as i stood."You still need some rest" She said, her hands trialing down my bony cheeks and across my neck."I can't stay here all da-" I was interrupted by a cough as i waved it off, making my way to the bathroom.For a moment, i stared at the back of my palms, with a scar from the intravenous and i looked to the mirror before brushing my hair to side with a sigh.I was so happy i didn't get to loose my hair but some times, i wondered if cancer was somewhat better-either way, there wasn't so much difference, with the timeline or the prognosis or the pills.And the regular hospital visi
