"You thought I was a fool?" She knew it was useless arguing him. "Why are you silent, couldn’t answer?"" "My silence means I am tired of fighting and there is nothing left to fight for, I am tired of explaining my feelings to you but now I don't have the energy to explain them, right now I am on a self healing process and I am trying to forget everything that I ever wanted from you, I have always adapted to the changes in my life and even now I'm going to adjust and I'm not complaining, I am just trying to move on gracefully with all my dignity, I will definitely return your money, sorry and thanks for everything.” with that she walked away tears clouding her vision, rubbing it with the back

I asked for their sudden silence that kinda scares me. "People have...four last year" Alveera relayed ruefully, looking sullen all of a sudden. "What happened to them?" I couldn't help asking. "They were paired in death combat. Finals, they have to pass it to move into next level" Stephen said as Alveera released his arm to pull behind her loose strands of jet black hair. "You mean...they were paired to kill each other...?" I asked jaw dropped in terror.

Thud. Thud. Thud. "What the hell is that?" Sam asked as something hit the wall in a continuous motion. It was coming from the room next to ours. Sam and I stared at the wall, wondering what Grace- the girl in the next room- was doing. The thuds grew louder and faster, then it finally dawned on me. My face reddened like a tomato as sounds of Grace moaning filled our whole room. "Holy shit. Grace, it's too early for this." Sam shouted but I knew Grace wouldn't hear anything, she was preoccupied at the moment.

Cause we even sleep in one small bed back in the village with his shirtless all around but I found no sparks, maybe because I’m just trying to ignore him and convinced myself that It was just a part of me idolizing him as my best friend but the more it gets longer the heavier it gets for me to hold this feelings of mine towards this guy with the same name as mine.

"There's nothing," he replied. "Alicia, has someone been talking to you? Did they lead you to a misunderstanding?" Charles kept his cool, but his right hand drifted to his leg, a dead giveaway that he was fibbing. He probably did not even notice he did it every time he lied. The weight that had been crushing my heart finally hit the ground with a thud. "What's going on here?"

He didn't know if it would help, but he knew one thing: he would never let her get hurt again. Silence. Benjamin could feel blood flowing from countless places on his body. He tried to open his eyes, tried to check if she was okay, but he couldn't. His eyelids wouldn't move. Somewhere in the distance, he heard sirens from an ambulance and police vehicles. They were shrill and piercing, rushing toward them. Help was coming. They would be saved. And just before he lost consciousness completely, Benjamin had one final thought. 'Please, God. Let her be safe.'

It wasn't the tense hush of hiding, the profound void of the Stillness, or the grim quiet of a battlefield after the fight. This was a deep, resonant, and utterly peaceful silence.
