Breathe.
I smothered my nervous palms against the sides of pants as I handed Leroy an almost empty cup of coffee.
"You shouldn't allow me drink coffee, I can't afford to take any bathroom b-"
"Chill, it's going to be alright" He whispered.
I was about to enter a room full of the many faces that'll eventually decide my admission here at Miami Medical. The disciplinary board had emailed me, they had come to a decision regarding the cheating scandal and whether or not, I could complete my final year examinations.
"It's going to be fine. That can't terminate admission, you're a star student" He said as he adjusted my hair that peeped through my silver colored hijab

The noises of the impaled my ears, slowly sulking me into a form of hypnosis to telling the truth as I began to zone out."Ms Baie" His voice dashed me back to reality as I just stared like a deadbeat, my hands slumped tightly in the handcuffs. Soon, life was a heavy cross to bear.I didn't sleep, I couldn't sleep."You want to tell us the truth now?" The investigators that oversaw the arrests asked, now comfortably sitting opposite me.My eyelids were heavy, begging to be closed as my uncle just nodded as a form of reassurance."I've come to a deal" Douglas s

MARIAI halted in the lot before i put down my windows-"Hey" I called her attention before they opened the doors to come in.Her clothes were different, she was out of those orange uniforms but her mood changed. Evidently stuck on her face was a frown, one i could was of disappointment."Jacq" I called, looking into the rear view mirror once she settled and she just looked away."Please, just move" She whispered, not even turning to look at me. "Just move?" I echoed as her elbows rested on the window frame before i sighed."I ran across miami to pick you up and i thought the least i could get was a greeting" I remarked before i ignited the engines. "She had a rough time. She'll get over it" Her uncle replied as i reversed to the roads.I hope despite everything, this was the last time she ever stepped her foot in here.****
VAMP CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT - SOME GOOD STILL LEFT IN THE WORLD
KALEOTHE NIGHT OF THE MURDERThe bleeding scars. The bitter truth-and the gruesome reality.One touch, and palms enveloped my my lips, urging me to yell, to bite -but the only one hurt was me, the hands pulled me away from the kitchen.The metallic clang was enough to alert the person behind the mask and as i heard the shivering sounds, i was terrified. And then in a spontaneous moment of trying to break free, i kicked as hard as I could, pushing both of us to the ground.We both struggled to stand as he reached for the knife that fell to the ground while I made an attempt to run free.I was weak, having already being stabbed as I staggered to the edge of the balcony, before suddenly i felt the weight of hands around my lips, allowing me to trip over. Then as the knife trailed upwards my body

KALEOThe photographs were boldly taken, of the scene, the ropes and her bruised neck.I wiped angrily at a tear as i dropped the phone, which i knew I would pick up again as i grieved the gruesome outcome."It was a devastating suicide that rocked the whole community"The press release of the recently conducted investigations but hardly was i convinced my mother would kill herself. I knew she struggled, back when Elizabeth died, but she put so much work and her promises-her goddamn promise never to leave me.And each second i was on edge, finally persuaded to attend her funeral, to bade her one last heart wrenching goodbye."You should have some rest" Maria suddenly whispered, enveloping my palms with hers as she tilted the ring on my fingers."It will soon be over" She assured. "I'll be with you. We start tomorrow and your grandma said we'll rest at a motel or so bef
VAMP CHAPTER THIRTY - THE ART OF COMING OUT
WUGazing over my shoulders cautiously, i still stirred my brewing cup of tea in the awkward silence-only the metal tea spoon stirring against the sides of my mug as our eyes caught.With some sort of disgust, she still looked away, having no words for me still. My grandmother and I seldomly got along but her judgemental silence was nothing you'd wish to deal with."I'm gay"I had told her before her eyes gestured a million words her lips couldn't speak. "You know I'm just gay, i didn't murder" I finally muttered, not looking away from the swirling of freshly brewed tea."Just gay?" She echoed with a sigh that seemed to unburden her shoulders."I'm not less of your granddaughter neither am I less of a woman because I'm gay" I immediately snapped, almost angered."So have you known this all your life and you just decided to drop this on m-"
VAMP CHAPTER THIRTY ONE - SOME THINGS
AALIYAHSome things,-are bound to happen.We call them accidents, because we never expected them. Unfortunate because we never wanted them.And devastating, because we dreaded them.They say this things come for a purpose, to make us stronger and we must learn to embrace a new challenge-to determine that our sorrows won't overcome our joy and our pains won't cover our gains.That these things either shape us or break us, it defines us if we let it-it just depends if we're ready, ready to take it by the horns and defeat it.Because they also said these things were never meant to conquer us.~I could use a whole of speeches as I sat, my legs swung beneath the hospital bed, begging to fall to the ground and i cleared my throat.The doctor had seemed longer this time and i often sighted him dash
VAMP CHAPTER THIRTY TWO - HAPPY PEOPLE ATTRACT HAPPY PEOPLE
JACQUELINEWe had walked around the block in search of her mother, all efforts had been in vain."There's really no need to get worried, she might just have needed some time away" I continually convinced but she shook her head."She never goes out. She just sends me these errands but she might be angry about-" She paused as I halted, looking to her."I might have maybe told her i was gay" She said and i just remained quiet as we marched on the same block we already checked twice, maybe even thrice.Then all of a sudden, she gasped, running towards a building of shops with her face washed with relief.In the same direction, someone who i guessed was her grandmother by the striking resemblance, innocently sat on a chair."See, she's safe. She might have just come to get-" I said as I looked at the name of the shop above us."James and s
