Bucket list.
“Jay, open the door.” I banged on the front door for the third time, but there was no response.
Vian and I showed up at Jay’s house as soon as it was dawn. I had a plan in my mind to take Jay’s mind off of things. Vian didn’t know anything about my plan, and I was planning to keep it that way until its time.
“If you don’t open the door in three, I am breaking in. You know I will do.” I sent a warning. I was about to kick the door in frustration due to lack of movements on the other side but the door opened suddenly making me stumble. Thankfully I balanced myself by grabbing Vian who was standing beside me.
“What?” I heard Jay’s curt reply standing with an annoying look at the door.
“Get ready. We are going somewhere.” I didn’t give him time to say anything and went inside pushing past him.
“Not in the mood.” I heard him from the back. ‘Well, too bad. I didn’t come here

It’s been months since I came to London. We successfully graduated passing the final exams with flying colors. I miss old town badly, but I promised my grandma to visit often before I left. London life was very much different from the life I had in my grandma’s town. Even though I have been visiting my mom every summer, staying here, permanently felt different. The city was always busy, and it was hard to keep up. I felt like I was always running. I helped my mom with café work in the morning, and I worked at a pizza shop as a delivery person in the evening. I applied at the University of London for an English literature course and was waiting for a call from the office. It was my mom’s idea to apply to that college. She thought if I go to college in London then she can spend more time with me unlike before. She had this beautiful picture of my future in her mind where I become a professor or a writer, fall in love, and start a family in London. It all sounde
You are my FLAME Jealous.
It was that day I was the most excited in my life. I woke up early that morning to choose what dress I was going to wear and how I was going to style my hair. It took hours for me to choose a perfect dress. I was in a good mood for the whole day. My mom looked at me weirdly when I was whistling while helping her in the kitchen. My brain was firing serotonin all day keeping me high. I was looking at the clock every five minutes expecting it to strike at 4 pm. I told my mom that I was going out with Vian and started getting ready an hour before. I wanted to look beautiful, but I didn’t want to come out like I was trying too much. I decided to go with a simple purple crop top pairing it with high-waisted jeans and white sneakers. I let my hair down styling it with light end curls. I kept my makeup minimum but concentrating more on my eyes. I used eyeliner and mascara to make my eyes lookout. Vian used to say that my e

At midday, customers coming to the café had reduced rendering me to be bored. I was feeling lazy and irritated the whole day. My mood was oddly off, and I just wanted to sleep in all day. Willie and Damon came to be with us taking a day off. Damon was so happy that his dad let him bunk school, and he was so excited to play games with me all day. But I couldn’t keep up with him for more than an hour so I let Sofia take care of him. I took my sketchbook out after a long time. I didn’t have anything particular in my mind, so I just started drawing a beautiful dress I saw on TV. I was watching the met gala on TV a week ago, I was astonished by a dress worn by a popular model to the gala. I couldn’t take my eyes off of it. It was a floor-length gown with a thigh-high slit and only one arm covered in fabric. The silhouette itself wasn’t exceptionally unique, but the pattern on the dress dropped my jaw. Reminiscent of bea
You are my FLAME Starry sky.
I called Jay after a while staying with Damon. It wasn’t hard to distract Damon. I just had to ask him if he wanted to play games with me. “Hey, Jay, What’s up?” I tried to sound cheery hoping he forgot all about last night. “Can we meet? I want to talk.” He asked me. I noticed the discomfort in his tone. We never acted formally towards each other before but then we never said things that hurt each other either. “Sure.” “Let’s meet at the coffee shop near my dorm. See you there, Aves.” The way he called my name made me smile. That was kind of saying, ‘I forgot all about last night so you don’t need to worry about that.’ I could have called him to our café, but I didn’t want to when my mom is upset especially when the matter is related to them. When I arrived at the coffee shop he wasn’t there yet so I decided to wait while having a cappuccino. So I ordered before. “Hey Aves,” Jay came in and sat on the chair across me announcin

The wind that blows stops for no one, Like unfettered dreams, boundless and free. This spinning earth won't ever forget you. Each new day dawns just for you. A brand new day peeks from my heart. Awaken Oh, my soul Seize the day in your hands. And spread your brand new wings. Little by little, life's burdens start to weigh.

You are my FLAME Dear Jay,
I told the name of the hospital to the driver where he was supposed to drop me after a second. My mind never once warned me to change my decision. I knew it in my heart that I had to go to Jay. ‘I don’t care if I was going to meet the queen, Jay comes first.’ When I reached the hospital, I asked for directions from the receptionist at the front desk and almost ran to the ward that she pointed out. I saw Jay sitting on one of the visitor’s chairs in the hallway. He looked aghast. He wasn’t sobbing but tears kept racing down on his cheeks. “Jay,” I called out his name slowly walking towards him. He turned his head towards my direction looking at me with his sad eyes. As soon as he saw me, his chin trembled even though he was biting his lip to control himself and his eyes poured out tears in a flood of uncontrollable tears. I ran to him and hugged him. He hugged me back tightly throwing his hand

You are my FLAME Hidden in my heart.
D5 won the competition as we all wished. They haven't even started their career yet, but they received huge support and received lots of love from the people already. They also announced that they were going to continue being a band and going to work on their first album. People were so excited about the news, and I saw people on social media were already intrigued and talking about it. Mr. Ben was really happy with how it all ends although he didn’t expect it. He thought that the boys would gain some experience before beginning their journey, but he never expected that they could shake the entire nation with their talent. He went ahead to New York to start their work for their first album and gave a week's vacation for the boys to spend some time with their family before they leave it all behind. ‘I mean who knows when they will be able to see them again.’ To spend this time together, me, Vian and Jay came to the old town to spend their
