And let me juat make a clarity the day Alex and I are finally going on our date.I came back from work a little bit earlier there wasn't much to do anyways so yeah.

The shock of my life

"Drunken words are sober thoughts", Unknown. I just stood there frozen like a statue and the only thung that made then relaise that there was a third person in the room was when my hands got slipery and my phone fell.I didn't pick it up but continued standing there like a kindergarten child who had just wet her pants. I did not say anything but there was a lump in my throat and the tears that had gathered in my eyes found their way down my cheeks.The lady brought a blanket up her chest while Alex wrapped a towel he'd carelessly tossed on the night stand. I guess they were in a hurry. He took big steps towards me while his gaze was fixed with mine. His hair a little bit moist like he'd just showered.The moment he stood behind me the strong smell of whiskey hit my nose . Intoxicated. He's intoxicated. How can he be doing something like this while he's

Can't live without you

The sunlight seeped through the thin curtains of my bedroom. My whole body was aching and I swear the throbing headache could almost crack my skull open.Another day another phase of what ever pain I left.Nothing was well with me today. I felt so worked up and exhausted. You could swear that someone was beating upy whole body the previous night. I felt a sharp pain below my bust cutting through the middle of my chest.I had no idea of what it was but it was killing me. If possible I could have just removed it and sent it as far away a possible but irvwa shere to stay.My skin was pale , the palms of my hands had no colour What is wrong with me ?I couldn't raise a single part of my body. It screamed pain in all sorts of languages and accents.I tried lying by the side of my body to grab my phone on the side of the bed . The pain still unbearable in each an

I wanted to be positive but I ahd to give myself time and overcome this one step at a time.I felt more attached to this chapter that kept reminding me of him.How could one move on when they know very well that someone would not be in that chapter. I was told I could get better as time went by but I felt each and every minute ticking by sunk me into greater depths of this darkness.I couldn't wait for these John Cena's to finally stop follwing me around. They would take turns gaurding my door. There was absolutly no fresh air to breath. My Father grew that habit of asking about any love love relations I had with anyone. I was old enough to date whom so ever I want yet I still had to answer these questions. Am I a teenager?What ever happend that day was a secret, only Eliz knew. I told h
