T Y L E RI saw Mey, Jess and her boyfriend, the football player, and two other people sitting in the waiting room. I assumed the man was her father and the younger guy was her brother. Since I didn't know them well, and I didn't feel like interrupting Jess who was crying in her boyfriend's arm, I took a seat next to Mey."Hey," I propped my elbows on both knees and dipped my head down. "How is she?""The doctor said she will be okay." She offered me a smile, but since I didn't feel like smiling right now, I merely nodded. "That's quite heroic of you, making her drink all that milk. The doctor said your action saved her life."I heard the word heroic and that I saved her life yet I didn't feel any better. It was my fault she had to go through all this. If I haven't been quick enough, she could've died. I covered my face with both hands and tried not to cry in public and embarrass myself.I could feel Mey shifting in her seat. "I ju

They Don't Know About Us | One DirectionWhen I'm older and my little girl asks me who my first love was, I don't want to have to pull out the photo album. I want to be able to point across the room at you and say,'She is sitting right over there.'This was the fourth time Colton blew me up on our date, saying he had some works to do. I was okay for the first two, I told myself to be more considerate on the third, but now I simply couldn't take it anymore. This job started as something that he'd do to fill in his spare time when he wasn't on the field practicing football or having classes at school. Yet I started to feel like I was no longer his priority. It was either work or school o

 J E S S I C A  W I L L I A M I woke up the next day, determined to make the most out of it. It was my birthday after all. I refused to feel anything but happy. I washed my hair and dried it with the hairdryer before curling them using a curling iron. I put more makeup than usual but not too much. I wanted to look pretty, not out-of-place after all.I chose a long pink dress to wear. "This is my day!" I told my reflection in the bathroom mirror.Some people congratulated me as soon as I arrived at school. Cassandra gave me a kiss on the cheek, making me go to the restroom just to wipe her lipgloss off my face. The other cheerleaders were just giving me a hug. I left as soon as they started asking what Colton and I going to do later to celebrate.I didn't think he even remembered. Autumn and the girls brought a birthday cake and we ditched the first period to celebrate in one of the club's rooms. Carlton had

T Y L E RI always loved science since I was a kid. It was the only thing that could make sense of everything and I've been obsessed with it.I knew the earth always rotated around its own axis. It rotated eastward in prograde motion and the only reason we couldn't feel it was because we were all moving with it; at the same constant speed. I knew all of that because I read it somewhere and I read because I loved the knowledge that I gained from reading.However, when someone said the world was spinning, they weren't talking about Earth's rotation. For the first time, I could understand them as my head felt heavier and heavier with each amount of hit I took.As I laid there, completely powerless, I looked at Blake's face. "You got what you want. You've beaten me up and I didn't resist or fight back. Please spare Jess and Colton."My jaw hurt just by saying that. It felt like it might fall off. I should've evaded his kick but I knew
