Song recommendation: Thousand Years Christina Perri. "What a boring day!" Arabella groans as she walks out of the hall they just had a class in. One of her worst times ever, lectures. But she had no choice but to attend. She walks to her locker and pulls out a textbook she was to read later at night. Exams were fastly approaching and it is better she starts reading early."Jesus!" She yells out upon seeing a certain someone that was made visible the moment she closes the locker."WTF! Stop being a ghost around" she complains, holding onto her chest to calm her raising heart."Wait, I remember you" she points out, "you are the guy from yesterday, the one Zoe doesn't want to talk to" She puts on a thoughtful face sizing the guy up and down.No matter what she said, he didn't respond. His gaze at her was intense as though he would eat her up if given the chance.This got her frowning, "do you perhaps don't talk to strangers?" She raised a brow demanding for him to say something but he
"Why must it always be like this? Why must my love always bring me unending pain and sorrow?" Zoe asked no one in tears, she stared at the bright evening sky in pain and agony.Just when she thought things are falling into place, another comes up and drifts them further apart than they already were."It hurts so much" She clenched her chest, and the pain was unbearable.All this while, she has been able to handle it knowing she will be able to stay with her as always but then, she can't anymore.Knowing how much Arabella hates gays, this is the beginning of the end of their relationship."I've always loved you, more than I loved myself but you never saw me," She said in between her sobs, "Can't you see? My heart is weary, yearning for your love and my head keeps seeing no one but you. Why can't you take a step closer and feel it all? Just a step closer, to hear how loud it screams for you" "Love is indeed pain, your love hurts but I can't stop walking deeper, seeking to reach the end
Three weeks laterZoe stood behind the stage, sweat dripping off her face and her palms getting moist. Even when AC was available, she still felt hot.It was time, the day she had been preparing for but it felt like she had never been ready for it. She walks and takes a seat on the sofa, with a deep sigh, she bows her head trying to keep her cool.She is the next step on stage after the ongoing contestants are done and she is trying her best to be her utmost best but things seem to be taking a different part.There is nothing she could think of but Arabella, ever since that incident happened, they haven't had much to discuss and it's pretty frustrating.She isn't sure if Arabella will attend, but deep down she hopes she does."You'll get there in five minutes!" A brown hair man of about his thirties informs.Zoe nods, "Thanks" She grabs the bottle of water by the side and gulps it down.A few minutes passed and it was time for her to go on stage, As she walks in, she never stopped gla
"Zoe?" Arabella calls running up to her, "hold on, please" she pleads Zoe, who wasn't expecting anyone, was stunned to see her chasing breathlessly. "Rabella!?" She calls out, surprising evidence in her voice."God!, I feel like I just ran a thousand miles," Arabella exclaims, hands resting on her thighs."What's up? " Zoe asked, with a slight frown on her face.Arabella flashes her a smile, " that was pretty awesome back there " she starts, standing up straight.Zoe nods, lips forming a thin line. " Thanks" she had nothing to say."Did you have to risk it all? " Arabella couldn't help but ask, she isn't a fool not to know what Zoe did back there."Somethings are worth risking " Zoe force a smile, " and I don't regret it, never will" Arabella nods in understanding, " thank you" she voiced.Zoe Bobs in response, turned and was about to leave when Arabella spoke out" I'm sorry!" She breathes out."You shouldn't be ...And I'm ok with your decision" Zoe didn't want her feeling bad and
People change, desires differ from the usual and the heart yearns for something else, that's what we all are made to believe but then, it seems as though things get to take effect only if we condition our mind to believe in it.It's been two years now but Zoe was still the same, thinking about the same person and her heart keeps yearning without ceasing.She stood before the tall building, lost in thought while staring at the black clouds that sprawl across the sky, billowing in from the east. The air grows heavy and the humidity presses down suffocating everything beneath it. The scent of rain is dark and heady, the stillness falls over the street and in the silence comes a low crackle of thunder rolling across rooftops to the patterning of tiny raindrops.For a moment, everything stops, even the wind holding its breath. A streak of hot silver splits the sky and the downpour begins The weather was as gloomy as how Zoe felt she stood like a statue oblivious of her surroundings and e
While Evie was preparing to leave her dorm, a knock came bringing her attention to the door. She places her bag on the bed and heads for the door."Hi!" Came Zoe's greetings with a smiley face.Evie wasn't expecting her to come by this soon, she blinked trying to hide her surprised and flushed face but she wasn't good at masking her feelings as Zoe could tell with just a glance."Hi!" Evie responds shyly, clueless about what to do."I am here to refund your umbrella and to help you out with your project" Zoe informs and offers her the umbrella."Oh!" As all Evie could say, she takes the umbrella."Thanks for lending it to me, it greatly helped" Zoe sounded grateful.Evie nods with a smile and quickly averts her gaze to the floor. She doesn't know why she feels so shy talking to her, it's unlike her being shy and conserving. She's always open and more of the adventurer type.Silent engulfed the place as both stood there staring at each other awkwardly.Zoe gave a light cough and asked,
"What's with the look?" Evie grumbles feeling uneasy under Amanda's glare."Nothing" Amanda shrugs, turns and picks up the teacups taking them to the sink."Is there something you wish to talk about?" Evie couldn't understand why she would call her in without any reason."Why does it seem like you are in a haste to go?" Amanda retorts with a question."Of course I am, why won't I?" Evie foolishly answered without thinking." Oh!" Amanda exclaims and faces her with lowered gaze, Is my little niece perhaps in love? " She raises a brow." Jezz, Aunt, what's come over you? " Evie exclaims, almost shouting. Face red in embarrassment." There, I said it... I knew it" Amanda said with a satisfied look seeing Evie's red cheeks." You are truly in love" she adds, concluding her observations." Can you stop? I'm not, ok, we are just friends " Evie tries to deny but her face sold her off."Friends that love each other" Amanda chuckles, shaking her head."No, we don't!" Evie denies."Yes, Evie...
"What's with that face?" Amanda asked, turning away from the coffee machine."Nothing" Evie's tone was low and soft, saying out her inner feelings.Amanda knew it wasn't simply nothing, her niece that she knows can't quit and sulk to herself. Something is wrong.Amanda exhales heavily, staring at Evie and then the cup of coffee in her hands. "I'll be back!" She quickly excuses herself to serve the coffee.In about a few minutes, she walks back in and takes a seat next to Evie. "When you are little, no matter what is eating you up or who is bugging you, you always run to me and complain. You never let your mom know a thing, 'cause according to you, she will scold you if you are wrong and console you less if you are hurt but me, I'd always side with you and pet you to the fullest." She reaches for Evie's hands."I can tell when you are and you ain't fine, those sad eyes say it all even though you try to hide it." She gulps down her saliva, "You are all grown up, so many things have happ
