CHAPTER: 2.••••••Three years had passed and I finally thought I had my life under control. At least, I tried to. I never got into any other troubles, and neither do I cause any. I was your typical book nerd. You will always find my face buried in a book, any book. It was my escape. There is always something special about the fictional world. When you're engrossed in a particular book you begin to imagine a life quite different from what you are used to and at that moment you are filled with excitement, you find yourself merging into a character and you become part of the action. Then the book ends and you just sat there reminiscing about what you had just read. Then you remembered that particular character who had died wrongly or didn't end with the right person romantically and you wanted a better ending for them. You began to recreate them in your minds, giving them a better ending for your peace of mind.It has always been like that with me. At ten, I was a good kid, I made

Chapter: 4.*****We made it to the hotel in about thirty minutes and I never said another word.I was lost for one.Chima took care of the necessary bills and even bought us refreshments for when we finished swimming. Knowing that I had no choice but to at least join in on the fun.It doesn't matter.I could just sit at the edge of the pool and watch them have fun.I'm here, that's all that mattered, right?So, with that thought in mind, I went into the changing room and began undressing. The twins were in a stall just opposite mine but Chima was nowhere to be found. I figured he might still be getting something for us and since he gave me his backpack, I just unzipped and pulled out what I needed and changed into them."You ready?" George's unnecessary high-pitched tone sounded from behind me and I grimaced while turning around to face him."You didn't have to yell, I was right behind you..." I rolled my eyes, zipped the backpack, and placed it neatly on the bench. "And yes, I'm r

Chapter: 6.******It was on a Saturday and school was starting back up on Monday. I was in my room getting my books ready when I heard Chima's voice speaking with my sister. She knew I was home but because she noticed I was avoiding him she lied to him that I wasn't home.At this point, I had already frozen in one spot. Eyes glaring at the door with utmost concentration, my hands glued on the stack of books I was supposed to be shoving into my backpack, and my ears focused on the smallest of sounds so I could make my move.I was going to hide under the bed this time or in my bathroom or the closet if I catch the faintest of footsteps steering towards my bedroom door.They both spoke for a little while longer then I heard footsteps approaching. Putting my plans in motion I went to my knees and quickly tried to crawl under my bed but the sound of Ada's voice at my bedroom door halted me. "It's just me." She whispered. I was peeking up from my kneeling position, hands pressed into the

Chapter: 8.*****Ever get that feeling of emptiness? Feeling of complete worthlessness.You're alive but you don't feel alive. You just find yourself drifting through each day like a mindless wind blowing around a plastic bag repeatedly in the same whirl-circle of nothingness, without an obvious direction or destination. You're tossing and turning, losing the sense of time...of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. You're trying to make life worthwhile, to find a reason to go on but none seem reachable from a hundred miles away...no, stretch that, a million miles away. Your heart yearns for something or someone.You know these feelings too well...Your constant companion. There is an infinite craving trapped deep in your soul. You feel them protruding through your very being, clawing at your heart with such ferocity so much so you shuddered from it.You need a cure, an antidote...a total restoration. You know exactly where to find mitigation but the maddening realization of truth mock
