The Star Among Us

I feel a sense of warmth againstme. I thought I would diebynowbutIhaven't.I was stillin painsoI openmy eyes.Instead of seeing the night sky I see myself in a room, in front of me was a coffee table and a fireplace. On me was a furry blanket it felt nice against my skin but then I remember I'm in a random person's house.I try to get off of the couch but my body is in pain, I touch my back and feel stitches where the cuts are.Did someone stitch the scratches? I was stuck on the couch and I didn't know what was going to happen to me. Knowing all my life was not to trust anyone, I spent my whole life alone and survived alone. I was my own friend and everyone was against me.I hear footsteps near me, breaking my train of thought, I close my eyes and pretend I'm still asleep. I can hear the person sitting down and eatingsomething.All I wanted was to leave this house, but I couldn't, everything hurts when I move andthis person is near me.I open my eyes slightly to see the person but I s

"I don't know, I don't have a name." She says, I turn around and look at her. She looks back at me with no expression whatsoever.I walk towards her. I'm completely surprised that she finally talked. Shehad a deeper voice than me, it sounded pleasant to my ears.Then I remember what she said, she didn't have a name. She doesn't have a name?! How? Did her parents never give her a name?She has left morequestions then she answered. My brain flows with more questions, I needed her to talk more. "What do you mean?" I ask her trying to sound calm but fail. She probably heard the confusion in my voice."I mean what I mean. I don't have a name." Her finger plays with the fur on the pillow, stroking it back and forth."What about your parents?"Ithensitdown besideherlookinginto her brownorbs withworry in my eyes."I never had any. Been alone my whole life." She says, Those words stab my heart. I immediately feel so bad for her, living her life alone, no one to depend on but herself. It must ha

I enter the shower, turning the nobs and the water falls on me. At first I was scared from it but I immediately got comfortable with the warm water."You can use my shampoo and soapt" I hear from outside.Shampoo? Soap? What are those?I look around the shower and in the corner I see 3 shelves, they had many different bottles on them, even a sponge and a bar of green stuff.Looking closer at the bottles I can read what it says. Conditioner, Shaving cream. Body oil. Shampoo. I found it!Igrab the purple bottle and open it, then squirting it on my hand. Wait what do I do with this?I stiff it, it smelled nice. It smelled like Nayeon. Maybe she put it on her body.So I rubbed the shampoo on me, getting all of the blood off of me. I had to use a lot of shampoo to get it all over me, I quickly used the entire bottle of it.After washing off all the shampoo and blood I looked around for the soap. There were no bottles called soap but I did see a bar of green stuff.I grabbed it but due to m

After breakfast I drove to work again.It was the same as usual, piles and piles of work, endless hours at my office, one short break, and of course Jae abusing me."Let me go!" I shake my arm out of Jae's grip, he scoffs and gives me a creepy smirk. He walks closer to me, closer to me than what I'm comfortable with."You will be mine, just wait." he whispers in my ear while moving my hair behind my ear. I felt his breath brush against my ear, it sent shivers down my spine.I push him back and he straightens his white button up shirt, "I will marry you." He says before walking away.I sigh then walk back to my desk to get my mind off of him. Hours later I looked at the clock and my shift was ending. I stood up, packed my bag, said goodbye to the guard at the lobby, and got into my car.Before I drive off I looked on my phone for a few minutes before remembering that there was no food at home for dinner. I took the keys out of my pocket and started the car, then driving to the grocery

It was almost one in the morning before he finally retire to bed, he has been on Phone since ten in the evening and he didn’t even speak to his wife before he got a call and he was on that call till one in the morning. “I have to go to work tomorrow, you know.” He said to the caller and that was when he disconnected the call and he was able to drop his cell phone stretched up a bit and went into the bedroom to have a shower and went to bed, his wife Aziza was already in her dreamland when he got to bed, or so he thought. He took a deep breath as he try to recall some of the interesting conversation that she had told him on phone and smiles cannot leave his mouth as he recall. “Are we going to continue with this every night?” he heard her soft voice and that was when he realised that she might not be sleeping as he had thought and perhaps she was listening to his conversation. “What do you mean?” he asked and that was when she turned towards him and he saw her fully awake and stari
