At first, I thought it would be easy to just fight it and that it would eventually get better, but the truth was, it only got worse...As the days passed by, I kept having these sudden strikes of excruciating pain, making their appearance at the worst times.And though they were almost unbearable I still kept fighting, even taking pain-killers in my struggle to simply ignore them...Until one day...“Are you coming?” Leila’s child-like voice now sounded like she had walked a mile away as I kept feeling that sickening pounding only increasing in my skull.We were supposed to drive back home together since we rode together to school this morning, with her car.People were hurriedly passing by as all the classes were already over, some of them accidentally bumping my shoulder, making it hard for me to even stand straight.“No, you go ahead. I’m going to the bathroom to pee,” I quickly lied, forcing out a small smile, struggling to appear as calm as possible even though on the inside, I w

Richard & Melinda SummersBeloved parents1970-20021971-2002I blankly stared at the concrete headstone, various different emotions swirling inside of me as I stood there in silence, right next to my brother.Every year on my birthday, we used to come here and just talk to them like they would still be here, with us...But now...Now, I didn’t know what to say anymore...Maybe something like, “hey, were you guys my real parents?”Or more like, “hey, how could you keep such a big secret from us?”However, real parents or not I still considered Ricky my brother...my blood...After all, he was the only one, always by my side...The one who loved me and raised me, all by himself...even if he was still a child himself the day fate decided to leave us all alone in this crazy world...I lightly smiled, for the millionth time feeling so thankful for having him in my life, my palm grabbing his much bigger one, giving it a light squeeze.Feeling his gaze now trained on me I quickly turned my he

I watched Luc absently twirl the glass of bourbon in his hand, the two ice cubes clinking inside, his stormy grey eyes blankly staring right through the wall in front of him.“You seem...sad,” I observed, absently running a hand through my still damp hair, taking a seat on a comfy chair, remembering how they all remained silent during our drive back to our place, barely even looking at each other, let alone speak.He let out a tired sigh, placing his glass on the small table in front of the couch then leaned back, still pensively staring somewhere down.“I lost a brother today...” He quietly said, still not meeting my gaze, making me somehow feel a little guilty, even though I couldn’t even fathom why.“I...I’m sorry for your loss...” I weakly said, lowering my eyes to my lap and fiddling with the hem of my light blue flowered dress.“It’s ok...It’s not your fault... And I know I would’ve done the same thing though if I were in my brother’s position...” He quickly answered, leaving no

Suddenly, it felt like the temperature in that bathroom had considerably increased a few degrees as my breathing became a little uneven, feeling my entire body considerably heating up as I stood still in his arms, not even daring to meet his gaze.Deep silence followed for a few moments as we simply stood there unmoving before he slowly started speaking again,“I am not... We are not created for this... I am not supposed to feel this-this overwhelmingly intense feeling practically burning inside of me...I am not supposed to love you...Hell, I am not even supposed to feel love...And yet...I... I desire you...in ways that I can’t even comprehend, let alone explain...” He sincerely whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my spine, only now slightly pulling back to find my gaze, those deep gemstones holding such intense emotion as he quietly admitted,“I crave for you...I crave to have you, so much that it scares me...From the moment we firstly touched, something changed...Somethin

Blake “Wait...but...what happens when I’ll get old and die?” I thoughtfully stared up at him, hugging the immaculate white sheets against my bare chest, waiting for his answer.Those plump, inviting lips formed a light smile, his deep blue oceans intently watching me as he calmly answered,“You can’t. Not anymore,” Right before I felt his hand slowly grab my wrist, his slender finger lightly tapping against the mark, making me quickly realize exactly what he meant.“But...what if another angry archangel shows up and actually manages to kill me?” I asked, still not convinced.“I highly doubt that anyone would be stupid enough to piss me off like that but if that ever happens then I’ll happily bring down those damn gates, alongside Raziel...” He sincerely promised, his intense gaze slowly lowering to my lips and eager to feel them once again, he positioned his equally unclothed body above mine, supporting himself on his elbows, careful not to crush me with his weight.“The things you m
