Calla's POV

I dashed out of the cab and ran into the building. I overslept and was almost thirty minutes late to work. I remember checking the time few hours ago and it was 3pm when James call came in and he was going to tell me something before I fell asleep.

Yesterday was really hectic,new material were sent from Julie to create a new line for Falls before Halloween and one of our package got missing. So we had to go to the post office to claim it. Neither of us knew were the post office was so we misread the address and ended up circling Jackson street, instead of Johnson's street.

Now that I looked back on it,it's actually pretty funny and I couldn't wait to tell James about it.

i ran to the elevator right before the door close and I walked inside. A man stood by the wall inside the elevator,i didn't bother to look at him because I was in a haste. It just was another suit and tie from the law firm above.

"Morning!" A familiar voice greeted. I was almost sent into a frenzy when

    James' POV The thing about depression. It comes at you slowly, It's kinda like grief. First,you denied it,then you realize you've been empty on the inside all along. You're reaching out to a version of you that no longer exist.It's quiet. It's tint. It's corrupted in your mind. You find yourself leaving a crowded room to stand alone in the dark because it's more comforting. You get addicted to escaping the pain because you can't reach for the surface. It's like standing in a quicksand and sinking in. At first you shout for help ,you struggle and try to get out. Then,you realize no one is around and no one is coming to save you. So you let it consume you. You wait for it to kill you like a disease. And sometimes,it whispers in your head to do the killing by yourself.Sunlight hasn't hit the walls of my room since that night. The dark had become comforting and sleep have turned from my emeny to my closet friend. On the day after the treacherous phone call between Calla and I ,I had s

  • Wine Stained Lips   Chapter Fifty Seven

    Calla's POVHave you ever felt like you're stuck on a sinking boat in the middle of the ocean? I felt just like that.The ocean is a scary place,some say it's an abyss of the unknown. You won't think of drowning,instead, you'd fear the silence,the sound of waves,the screams from beneath. Right then,the harmonious sounds from the shores wouldn't seem beguiling again. Rather it'd be as hunting as a death rattle-- taunting, disturbing,and petrifying.James was my ocean. I never thought I'd get lost to the point I didn't fear drowning in him. I feared the silence. I feared the unknown that laid below his shallow waters.To have someone you love flip without knowing what made the do so,hunts you. It tears you apart and leaves you confused. Confusion was the worst of all the feelings I felt. I cried and and howled like a wolf under the moon and I was mad at him for it,but my confusion left me in a maze I couldn't get out of. I couldn't understand why he decided on letting me go like that af

    James' POV The dreams were back and this time they were almost real. I could almost touch the silhouette of his garment as he drowned my head under water. I tried to scream but I couldn't make a sound. I ran and I ran and he came after me and deeped my head under the waters again. My mother stood by the sink and watched with a smile spread across her cheeks and her eyes missing from it's sockets.I screamed so loud as I tried to get away from his grip. Then,I woke up with sweat dripping down my back and my forehead .My hair was wet and the bed was soggy, holding onto to the fragments of my dream on my pillow.I feared sleep so I stayed awake for the rest of the night and it went on like that for the next one week until I decided I was going to stop trying to sleep at all.My eyes were sour from staying awake but I couldn't risk to see my Father's face in my dreams. Since I found the pictures in London,I've been stuck on the same loop and nightmare of my father out to get me. And on

    James' POV The party was loud,Just the way it has always been rumored to be in L.A.Gus was more excited about seeing the lights on Beverly hills and the rich men in expensive suits and witty classist jokes. I've seen it before, and I know how it goes. The thing about the rich is they grow fonder with each penny and that proportionally makes them more shitty and less empathetic. To party in L.A is to dance with the devil.Of course,that's a very vague generalization because not everyone in the room right now is some evil textbook villian but the story remains,you have to be ugly at heart or be really damn lucky and good at what you do to get into a Hollywood party.I grabbed a shot and drowned it down my throat after excruciating slow passing of time mingling, performing, and pitching myself for strangers approval. I slightly loosen my tie,just enough to hope it makes some sense of relief from the lump I felt in my throat."James...Oh my God,can you believe this?!" Gus said enthusia

  • Wine Stained Lips   Chapter Fifty Three

    Calla's POVAs I approached apartment 4B,my steps got slower and unsure. I looked at the jean jacket in my hands and my cheeks flushed in embarrassment. I didn't know what to say when I see him. Even though I had countless scripted dialogues in my head. Why was I nervous to talk to him. It's bad enough he already saw me bleed. I might as well,let him see me obliterated into thin air.Suck it up. I scolded myself,and walked closer to the door. I curled my fingers to make a fist and knocked on the door. I held my breath and anticipated him opening the door while I stood in the hallway. Which will be funny, because it'd like an alternate universe.Ginny opens the door and a sigh of relief gushed out of me."Ohh- Hi?" She looked surprised to see me."Hi Ginny." I replied with a toothy grin."I wasn't expecting to see you. Come in!" She said excitedly."Okay..." I said as stepped into their apartment. Apartment 4B was a lot like apartment 3B,where I stayed. It was spacious and it had lar
