Sitting in the garden with a book in my hand and a pair of airpods plugged in my ears was the best combination.
Hometown smile by Bahjat bursting in my ears.
My eyes kept on scanning the lines until it was dark enough to go back inside. Lifting myself off the swing, I hurriedly went inside towards the kitchen.
Skipping through some cupboards, I came across my fathers favorite cupboard.
He used to lock his food in it since me and my mother always liked to steal and than devour it. He had the best taste in everything. His cooking was just extra. Sighing I brushed past it. Sadness washing over my features once again.
Grabbing a pack of Doritos and a glass of cranberry juice, I strided back to my room. I sat down on the overused bed making myself comfortable in it. Placing my laptop on my lap, I played an episode of Stranger Things. If you haven’t watched that show than you live under a rock, my friends.
Munching on my Doritos I started to watch it. Hours later, I had finished the whole season.
My eyes became droopy and I slowly drifted into sleep, more like nightmares.
The next morning I woke up with an extreme headache. My brain was pounding like it had got hit by a hammer. Getting up, I winced when nausea washed over me. I felt like I had to throw up. Moving quickly towards my bathroom, I emptied all the contents I had eaten yesterday in my toilet. I could hear my erratic heartbeat ring within my ears. After throwing up several times, I rested my head on the wall behind me.
Closing my eyes, I blew out a deep breath. Calm down Tina.
My head was spinning. My whole body ached from the impact. I could taste the salty bile in my mouth threatening to come out again.
I slowly got up with a blurry gaze and walked towards the sink. Rinsing my mouth with a few gargles of water, I walked out of the bathroom not bothering to look at my reflection because I knew I looked like shit.
I went towards my side table. Taking a hold of the nearest painkiller and an anxiety medicine, I swallowed it dry.
Laying back on my bed, my eyes fluttered close due to the exhaustion. My body felt numb. It ached. My breaths were shallow.
Everything was just so painful to endure.
And once again I had to deal with my body by myself.
No one was there. Not even my mother.
Lucky me. A thought escaped my mind making me chuckle.
Miss you and love you daddy.
A week had passed in a blur. In which either I was on the bed or I was in the bathroom with my head in the toilet. Yuck. Yeah you guessed it right, I was throwing up everything I was eating. I felt great. My mother hadn’t come back home, she just texted me saying that she was on a business trip with the client. Just like always she wasn't there to treat my disease.Sighing, I got off from my car and leaned against it for a minute, my head still spinning from all the vomiting. I hadn’t ate much since my stomach was contracting painfully from inside but I had to endure it. Endure all of it just like before. Before I could walk, a pair of arms engulfed me in a tight hug making me flinch hard. They immediately retracted their arms and stood infront of me. “I’m sorry!" I looked at the intruder and saw Flora standing with a frown on her face. “Girl, you look horrible.” She fake gagged. “I know that already.” I sighed and grabbed my backpack from the passenger seat. “Rough weekend?"We bot
“This project will consist of partners. I’ll be assigning the partner you’ll work with and I don't want any complaints, am I understood?” The teacher also known as Henry addressed to the class. A chorus of yes’s were heard.I took a side glance at Zachariah who was busy writing something on his notebook. He looked extra handsome today. He wore a pair of beige dress-pants and a white collared shirt which was folded up to his elbows. A silver chain hanging from his neck. Three rings rested on both of his hands and a black beaded charm bracelet.Are nerds that hot?His face looked so innocent. The glasses rested on the bridge of his nose. His soft pink lips were turned into a pout. Extra delicious. His hair was messily disheveled, draped on his forehead and eyes.Illegal.“Anna and Tyler,”“Cristiano and West,”The teacher called out names. Groans were heard in the room but my eyes were fixed on something special. And that special was him. Am I getting obsessed? Yes.“Linda and Bella,”
All my life I was running in circles. Running away from everything but still spinning back to the very same dark spot which had been swallowing me up from inside.But life has some unexpected turns and twists. Some are bad, some are good. The good ones only come when you pass the bad ones.Right now I stood infront of the library, hoping I could keep my headaches at bay. The migraines were coming back and I definitely was not looking forward to it.Sighing, I strided inside looking for the same dirty blonde head but to my avail there was no such head. My eyes trailed towards my watch that read 12:45. Was I late for the meetup? Yes. If you ask me the reason, I wont say it. Looks like he ditched me. Expected. A groan erupted from my mouth as I walked too the nearest table. Plopping myself down, I rested my head on the table. Closing my eyes, my mind drifted back to the dark hole. A hole from where you could never come out even if you tried.Life is entertaining too some.A flash of pa
The rest of the day had ended in a blur. I walked pass the streets, my mind drifted towards the last encounter with him.If you’re wondering where my car is; than let me rewind a bit back, some bitches who disliked me and my guts ruptured my tires. Yeah and that’s how I ended up here in the rain soaking from head to toe.Life is way too unpredictable. I was freaking cold. My numb feet led me through the neighborhood where the richest resided. Strands of hair were stuck on my face. My clothes drenched which sticked to me like a second skin and the skirt wasn't helping me either today. Lucky me today. The dark patch had been giving out a heavy amount of water. Trees looked like they’ll fall at any minute. Here, in LA the storms were bad. Very bad. Taking a few more steps I halted when I saw a familiar face talking too another.The person was smiling. A beautiful smile.Blowing out a shuddered breath, I continued my walk until my eyes met his. There he stood with a little girl in his
Zachariah;“She ish so pwretty.” Zinzi giggled as I tucked her in bed. “Really?” I questioned, more asking myself. “Yesh, just like a pwrincess.”“True.” I mumbled, not sure why.Kissing her forehead, I smiled at my little girl. “Goodnight baby and don't stay awake too late okay?"“Okay Zacky.” She replied and closed her eyes.Giving her another kiss, I exited her room and strided towards the lounge.These past weeks were weird. Whenever I saw her, she had her eyes latched on me. Scarlett was quite uncomfortable and always told me too stay away from her since she is a bad influence. But was she? Only time could tell. The time when Lilliana had lashed on her made her look weak but just for a second. Emotions had lingered in her eyes. She seemed conflicted. It felt as if she wasn't strong.Scarlett wasn't happy when she found out that I had to do my project with her. She maybe my girlfriend but she was too possessive. Sometimes she just wouldn't let me friendzone anyone other than her
Stirring in my sleep, I snuggled up in the warm pillow, feeling the warmth invade my skin. The sun beamed through the blinds causing me to stir in my place. I groaned as the first beam of sunlight hit my face making me wince, thinking who the fuck broke my tinted windows. And then suddenly I jerked up in the bed looking around my surroundings.Where the fuck am I? Soon my question was answered when Zachariah walked in with a tray of breakfast in his hand. “Oh, good that you’re awake.” He spoke making me tilt my head in confusion. “What am I doing here?” I questioned instead.“You don't remember?” He asked, placing the tray on the side table. I shook my head. “You fainted from high fever.”My turned into an ‘O’ shape as I scurried away from the bed and got up. A wave of dizziness washed over me as I crashed on the bed again. “Careful, there.” He said as he came towards me.“Fuck.” I mumbled.“You should rest.” He told me whilst I tried too stand up and this time I succeeded. “Uh, no t
Kicking the door with a thud, I walked inside my safe heaven. Several people sprawled over the place. Rap music blasted through the enclosed soundproof walls making the air more intense.A batch of light bulbs embedded in every corner of the roof. Seats, all around the huge boxing ring which was placed in the middle.The crowd screamed as the two men punched each other with full force.A twisted smirk emerged on my face as I strided downstairs towards the ring. The mask I had worn earlier made the entry more dramatic. I never liked my face shown to the opponent fighters. Gasps were heard as I passed the people murmuring amongst each other.The men who sat infront of the ring, probably the friends of the other party, looked at me with disgust. Bitches.Throwing my bag to the other side. I grabbed the rope and jumped in the ring. “Long time no see, Jason.” I smirked--making the fight halt. Looking over his shoulder, his eyes slightly widened in horror but was soon replaced with a smirk
Let the darkness take control.Some sick twisted situations tend to happen when you feel good. Ever felt the need to disappear somewhere? Cause that’s what I felt right now. Dig a freaking grave and let myself drown in it. “Viper, do you both know each other?” Jason asked, as his eyes flickered back and forth between us.Ryker cleared his throat almost pleading me with his eyes, to not tell him. “Hm. We both study at the same school. He being the geek.” I said nonchalantly, turning sideways to snatch the aid-kit from Nathaniel who stood in the corner with his mouth shut.“Geek? Excuse me, you’re just a stuck-up stupid queen bee.” He mumbled in the silent room. “I heard that, Ryker. Just because you aren’t popular doesn’t mean you should rub it in everyones face.” I hissed.Ryker was about to say something but Jason stopped him, “Okay you both, stop, before you rip each others head off.” He chuckled, amused by the throwbacks.“Shut it, old man.” I said. “What? Old? Me? The fuck? I’m j
