It is often said that emotions shouldn't be bottled up, but rather allowed to get out and flow freely. Sometimes, it is better to let the tears out, so that you can feel less burdened.     Rachael no doubt played along with those words as she cried out, settling under a tree. She felt tired of letting all things be built in. It was tiring to her. She let the tears flow freely as well as the memories of her father's words.      His words were like a knife that pierced her heart. It was unbearable, mostly because she hoped for some beautiful outcome only to get disappointed by the reality of life.   She imagined her father would simply apologize and long to spend more time with her, but it was the opposite. Her so-called dad only saw her as something of value to his massive material wealth.    He just

  Have you ever felt a gush of achievement and then feel as if it was going down the drain? That was how Andrew felt while watching Caleb goes back to his former life. A life of sexual immorality, that he was trying to get over.     Andrew turned abruptly when he noticed that Caleb has met his gaze slightly. There was no doubt he felt hurt. After all, he has been deeply attracted to this fellow, and will always be beside him when he needed a shoulder to cry on. He would always counsel him on how best to tame his feelings and not give in to improper sexual desires.     He sacrificed his time, words, and attention, hoping that one day he could get a grip hold of himself and eventually do the right time. All of this at the expense of him falling deeply for Caleb. Hiding this feeling, just to help him and stand on his own feet.   "Andrew, pl

 Feelings they say can be unpredictable. It can be tricky too, making you feel uncertain about positive things in life. At some time, you might wonder why you kept having this feeling... Especially when you least expected it. It can be a nightmare sometimes, getting you to roll over the bed at night. Making your heartbeat only at the sight of that person.That was the case with Andrew. He became attracted to Caleb at the time, he requested they talk together. Andrew was feeling lonely then since her mum was going out with another man, and they would soon get married. And then boom, the vibes, talking, the smile he shared with Caleb turned to a forbidden feeling for him.'Same-sex attraction itself is not bad, as long as you never gave in to homosexual acts and only controlled your feelings,' That was the phenomenon Andrew followed when he realized his feelings for the same sex. But one thing he never realized was that he kept sinking in, and became deeply

Even with these, certain feelings and emotions can start seeping in and make you want to give up.Who knew Andrew was facing a lot. Not only did he end up being the one behind his mother's death, but he also had to deal with insecurities and a guilty conscience. Not to mention the blooming feelings toward the same sex, the one deemed as forbidden, and an abomination in his eyes.Who said teenagers do not have problems? They do actually. They need help too. Andrew felt it when Caleb, does not value the words, attention, and care he had shown to him. Truly speaking, the one with the big smile might be the one suffering the most..... The ray of dim light from the window side shone as Andrew opened his eyes slightly, as he took notice of his environment.The hospital bed was rather soft compared to h

  The silence continued as the two stared at each other. In  few seconds, Mr. Ryan gulped down another cup of alcoholic wine. He gasped slightly as he darted his elbow on his face."Your mum? Who was she in my life? Well, she meant nothing. Good riddance to her. You are the only one I care about now," Andrew felt as if a sharp knife was dived into his heart. His jaw dropped, as tears clouded his eyes. His throat was dry as he closed his eyes, inhaling deeply.' Now is not the time to cry,' he told himself as he met his stepdad's gaze again."You know your mum was a Crime detective, one that doesn't mind her own business. She was the reason for causing deep pain for me. She killed my elder brother, the only family I had. He killed him," he enunciated the last part as he let out-breath from his mouth as he poured another cup of the wine."My elder brother was one of those gangs that have left the part of the UK agitated slightly.
