My life has changed a lot in a short time. I look around the dimly lit room, and it's nothing like where I used to live. But despite waking up from a scary dream that really shook me, I can't help but smile.I can't remember the details of the nightmare, just that it was scary and I had to struggle to wake up. I can't believe how different my life has become in just a few weeks. I know how I ended up here, but it's hard to grasp how everything has changed so much.That nightmare still bothers me, and I hope it's not true. Usually, I try to forget it, to push it away. It's not like me at all to dwell on these things.Someone has come into my life and transformed me in ways I never expected, and now I hardly recognise myself. Well, that's not entirely true. I see a version of myself that I lost years ago. I wish I could figure out where things are headed, but right now, it feels like I'm losing control of my life.I was happily ensconced in my little routine. I'd go to university, then

Birthday Party (Now)The sound of the alarm wakes me from my deep slumber. I hate work, I hate school, and I hate mornings. Hitting the alarm button, my mind considers just going back to sleep. I look around myself. My life is nothing extraordinary. I live with my roommates, and I spend most of my time either here, at school, or at work. I should be waking up in a hotel right now. Somehow I failed at that this year. Groggily I walk to the shower. I climb in as the water hits my skin. The feeling is fantastic. Today needs to go fast. Tonight, however, needs to go even quicker. I honestly need tomorrow to arrive right now.Getting out of the shower, my feet hit the cold tiles as I wrap the towel around me before I walk through to my bedroom. Getting sorted, I walk out, glancing around the flat; it is quiet. I move to grab food before I embark on walking to university. I don't like driving if it isn't too far. My mind is flying away with every thought running through it.Stepping into u

I chuckle at her face. "Really, Lisa? Aren't you ready yet? I left a note telling you to be ready by eight. Did you miss it?" She rushes over to me, grabs my hands, and pulls me up from the couch."I am ready; look. I don't wear this to school and work, right?" I glance at her. I can't help but wonder what she expected me to wear. I know, but expecting that is crazy."No way, you're dressing up in something nicer than that." She points at my outfit with her finger. She doesn't like it, which isn't surprising. I had a feeling this might happen. I stand there, looking shocked and shaking my head. She just smiles.I don't want to show my body off. I don't want the risk of it. Plus, who is going to be looking at me anyway with her there?"When was the last time you went out? Like, you went out, out, and enjoyed yourself and showed yourself off? Before Kyle. So move it." Walking, she begins to pull me through to the bedroom. She throws open the wardrobe doors. She is rifling through it as

Beatrice turns and smiles at me. "Wow! Who would have thought John's brother would be so hot? I mean, yeah, okay, John isn't bad, but wow, the difference." She is smiling far too much. I certainly have no chance. Not even in hell would I have a chance?"He is. Good luck." I give in, just like that. I know that I won't win, and I won't fight for a guy either, and clearly, I am not ready. The fact is, I don't get why women fight over a guy. I don't understand how a guy can cheat, and instead of being angry at the guy, the women fight over him. Like, he is a perfect man. I, for one, won't fight to win a guy.Grabbing our drinks, we walk back to John and Sean. We walk to a table and sit. I start drinking. I feel so out of place here. Like I am in a place full of people who know each other, and I know no one. On the plus side, there is booze, so I will stay for a few hours and then go home. No doubt Beatrice and John will be here all night."Come dance." Beatrice grabs me. Her hands are pu

My eyes look down over my body. I'm not special. Sitting we talk for a short while, he smiles at me suddenly like he has remembered something. His smile melts my heart; I feel like I want to touch him, kiss him, and I have not felt like this about a guy in years. "Hey, isn't this party and night meant to be for you? Why are you sitting here in a corner looking like Baby?" His voice is soft and cold, and I laugh. I have to; his baby comment is just too funny not to laugh. He is referencing me to Dirty Dancing but has this all wrong. I consider how to explain it. "Well, I would rather stay in the corner. Unlike the baby, she had no choice. Her daddy put her there. Me, I am happy here hiding away. Considering the fact I don't do all this, parties, people and things. I have not done it for years." I watch as something sparks in his eyes, my mind trying to figure out what caused it. "My ideal night is watching TV, and a glass of wine or any alcohol. You can tell that, seeing as I only kn

I stand there, waiting for Beatrice. "Where are you both headed?" She glances at me, then turns her gaze to Sean. She doesn't seem pleased, and it's nearly two in the morning. I managed to stay past midnight, which is a big deal for me. But I can tell she's not happy that I'm leaving with Sean and he's not staying with her. "I'm going home, and Sean's walking me. I have work tomorrow. I'll send him back, don't worry." I think that should make her happy, but she looks worried now. "Are you sure you want to do that, Lisa?" She looks at me, waiting for an answer. I want Sean to walk me home, yes. He's John's brother, and for some reason, I feel like I can trust him more than John. I start walking past Beatrice, not waiting for her objections or answering her question.I reach Sean; smiling at me, he grabs my arm, linking it through his. He begins walking me home; maybe it's not such a great idea. While we live close to the centre, and we live close to the university. We don't live that

Grabbing the cups, I quickly escape to the kitchen using the excuse of them needing washing. I will wash them, calm down, and then go back once I am calm. I can't sit so close to him feeling like this. Standing here, I feel the pull. He's behind me, good lord; how am I going to cope? How do I sense him so close to me so well??Turning to face him, he steps closer. My hair is standing up, and my body is screaming for him to touch me. I feel like a kitten in the gaze of a wolf. His body moves forward; without even a chance to think, his lips push against mine. So perfect. The softness of his lips has me moaning. I can't stop myself. Kissing him back, I wrap my arms around his neck. Pulling him to me, I need this. I need him. His kiss is forceful yet unforgettable. I am struggling to breathe. I feel dizzy. He's making me dizzy. His hands cup my ass, lifting me onto the kitchen worktop. His arms move, his hands grabbing into my hair, pulling it to expose my neck as his mouth starts to kis

Waking up, I feel tired; I slept, yet the dreams were so vivid they kept waking me, and I jumped in the shower. I jump in the shower hoping that it clears my mind, but it doesn't help. I begin getting ready, leaving the bedroom. I begin looking around; I can't see John, so I guess he is still in bed.The relief washing over me is not something I want to have to deal with before work. Grabbing a drink quickly and some food, I start making my way out of the apartment, leaving for work. I should drive. I hardly ever use my car; there isn't much point in me having it. John's car isn't here, so it is clear I won't see him until tonight, and he is already out.Sitting at work, it seems to be taking ages for time to pass. Maybe because my mind is so fixated on Sean and last night. It seems to be replaying it through my mind constantly, almost like it is taunting me with what I almost had. I keep checking my phone every few minutes to see if he has messaged. Why though? He didn't even ask for

The door we entered through swung open. I turned and saw Jackson coming in, a fearful look on his face. I stood up and looked at him, and he seemed really upset. He walked right past me without saying a word. He blames me, and I can't blame him because I'm the reason they had a falling out.I sat back down, feeling helpless. Beatrice put her arm around me and smiled, but it didn't make me feel better. It hurt a lot that Jackson didn't even say hello; it was like I was invisible to him."It will be fine, Lisa; he is just worried about John. no doubt when he sees John is okay, he will talk to you." Beatrice's voice is quiet and soft; it doesn't help me at all. We don't even know if John is okay."I doubt it, Beatrice; just think, the last thing he and John did was argue over me. I caused them to fall out, and we have no idea how bad John is; it is my fault." This is the exact reason I would not fight over a guy; it isn't worth it. It isn't worth hurting the other person, yet while I was

Driving in silence, I watched as we got out of the town centre; surrounded by trees and fields, we pulled into a drive, and the whole place was beautiful and open. The house was breathtaking; I have only seen houses like this in magazines and on TV.Walking in, it was even more beautiful than outside; the place was covered in windows, and looking out over the trees and fields, it was natural and beautiful. The size of the entrance is bigger than my whole apartment. Leading me inside, we walk to the kitchen."Do you want alcohol, a hot drink, or something else?" Looking at him, was he serious about alcohol?"It's a little too early for alcohol, so I will stick with a can of coke if you have any." Watching him walk to the fridge, he opened it, took out a can of coke, walked towards me, handed me the drink, walked around his kitchen, and looked outside. It was beautiful; I couldn't stop looking. It was as good as being outside, with the full-length windows. I almost forgot I was here; he
