Let me have a dream that's against all odds and feels like too big to come true.~ A. GuptaVIOLETMy thumb hovered over his name on my phone screen. I had just talked to Mad on the phone and even though he didn't say it, he definitely meant for me to give Cole some slack. I have to question his sanity to be honest, because wasn’t he the same person who had told me to not forgive him so easily not too long ago. And then there was Alex... I don't even want to think about him. Betraying bastard..“How much do you love Bree?”“I don't know. You tell me, how much I love her if it means that the thought of losing her is equal to someone taking my heart out and leaving me to die.”“If something happened to her, will you be able to move on? Love someone else?”“No, sweetheart. It’s not something I will be able to do.” There was a beat of silence before he said, “Vi, I know it’s hard for you to forgive him but he came back for you, it should at least mean something. I am not saying that you s

From rage and pain, a resilient heart blooms. ~ A. Gupta.VIOLET“WHERE are you going?”“None of your business.” Just as I stated to walk past him, he grabbed my elbow pulling me to a halt and then raked his eyes down my body. His sherry eyes burned as he took me in, leaving goosebumps behind on every inch of my body. No matter how hard I try to not be affected by him, he always makes me aware of his affect on my body.I was wearing a red dress that was calf length and had a slit up to just above my knees. It was the very first dress I had bought for myself last year. Simple and still looked sexy enough, and I had paired it with silver heels. But the way Cole was looking at me one would think I was half nakéd.“I wish,” He muttered. And when I opened my mouth to give him a piece of my mind, he jerked me toward him, making me suck in a breath as his arm banded around my waist and every inch of my body molded against his. I swallowed as his eyes dropped to my lips that were painted re

Including someone in your prayers is a truest form of love. ~ A. GuptaVIOLETSOMETHING is wrong. I know it. I could feel it in my bones but I have no one to ask. My worry had become so crippling that I couldn't even talk to Mom when she tried to comfort me. All I needed was Cole, to see him with my own eyes and determine that he was alright. To ask for his forgiveness and to let him punish me if that’s what he wanted. I just wanted him to be okay, to be by my side even if he hated me for what I did. As the time passed, my worry only accelerated and I started to lose my own self as I could hear the tik of the clock in the silence. Mom and Dad had gone with Alex, and neither of them thought to tell me what was happening but I saw how Mom’s face had paled and her eyes had glittered with unshed tears. Whatever it was, it was bad. And I knew it was about Cole. I knew. But they wouldn't tell me. It hurt to be in the dark even though I understood that they were trying to protect me but I d

My heart belongs to you, the way I belong to you. Only, I wish you belonged to me too. ~ A. Gupta.VIOLET“Cole.” His name came out on a whisper like a prayer. My breath hitched and my lungs stopped working at the sight of him as I took in the bandages covering his head, arm and upper chest, the wires and tubes going around his body. “Tell her that I forgive her.” Brenna had passed his message to me, and I couldn’t think about anything else but that. I had been clinging to those words since they told me about his accident and then kept me away from him regardless of how much I pleaded to let me see him. And every time I thought about those words, it only brought fresh tears to my eyes. Even when he was in a hospital bed in so much pain, he was thinking about me. Me, who had hurt him.But now as I looked at him, his dark eyes devoid of any emotions told me the truth. He hadn’t really forgiven me. I swallowed as I took a step toward him where he laid in a hospital bed, looking like he

Forgiveness comes at a price. Who’s going to pay? ~ A. Gupta.VIOLETI Clutched his hand between mine, unable to let go as the weight of everything that transpired between us fell upon me and I felt too exhausted to do anything else but just marvel at the fact that he was alive. I didn’t want to think about anything else, he was here and he was mine, and everything else could wait. “If you don’t stop crying I’ll think you’re not happy to see me alive.” Cole said, wiping my tears with his other hand that had the IV jostling and making him wince with discomfort.I shook my head and placed his hand back on his stomach. “Don’t move.”“Don’t cry.” “They are tears of relief, Cole. I was so scared and I was also afraid that you won’t ever forgive me.” I replied, looking down at our joined hands, ashamed of what I did even though he had forgiven me. “I am really sorry for that.”“It’s impossible not to forgive you, princess. How will I live with myself?” More tears escaped with sobs that
