Heart Aches
Vincent My heart dropped into my chest. The scene unfolding in front of my eyes was like a horror movie. I knew it would happen in time. I knew I had decided to let go, but I still wasn’t prepared for what took place down on the dance floor. She kissed him. Anne kissed Andrew. The shocking realization had me dropping the microphone I had picked not too long ago. The static made from its contact to the floor had people recoiling in annoyance. It didn’t stop them though. They were still going at it. It was over, I guess. Anne no longer belonged to me. In my bid to compose myself, I caught sight of my dad standing with his guests at a corner. He was staring straight at me. I knew that look. My dad could read me like a book. Even with no outward emotions, he knew. Fiona was also giving me a weird stare. I couldn’t tell what she was thinking but somehow, I knew she was in on the secret as well. I wanted out. I felt stuffed. I felt I would pass out if I didn’t get a breath of fresh a

The Night Before Dawn
Vincent No doubt, she is breathtakingly beautiful. Many men would worship the ground she walked on just to behold her alluring slender curves and firm breasts. I know I’d felt the same way when we were dating. Maybe, I would have felt something if not for the state I was in. But at that moment, I was empty of sexual desires. She reached for my right hand, took it, and placed it on her firm boobs, putting pressure on my hand so that my hand could in turn feel its denseness. I stared from it to her face, and at the tears in her eyes. This woman loved me, there was no doubt. I wished I could give in to her need to make her feel loved like she’d always wanted, but to me, it only felt like taking advantage of her vulnerability and making her more miserable. I couldn’t do that to her. I slowly bent over and picked her robe, then covered her with it. She stared pleadingly into my eyes, pushing against my chest as if it was dead and she was trying to resuscitate it. I raised my hand and h

Deserted
Anne “Pam!” I yelled, pushing the door to my hostel room open. I had finished classes early and decided to make a stop at my hostel before heading to the mansion. There was no one in the room. I walked to the bathroom and peeked through it. No one was in there. Where could Pam have gone? I asked myself coming to stand in the middle of the room and looking around. I tried calling her phone but it went straight to voicemail. I twirled around the room a second time. I was puzzled at the emptiness I felt. Not just within, but around the room. A feeling of foreboding washed over me as a ridiculous thought entered my head. I didn’t want to act on it cause’ I know it wasn’t possible, but just to settle my fast-racing heart, I decided to forge ahead. I went to Pamela’s corner and opened the long locker that was unusually unlocked. It was empty. Pam’s things were gone. My heart sank into the pit of my stomach as I took steps backward in disbelief. What did I miss? Where did I go wrong

Dating Andrew
Anne I awoke to the soft sound of my name. As I opened my eyes, I saw two hands coming towards me. I wasn’t afraid for I knew instantly who it was. He had called around 5 pm and arrived twenty minutes later. It meant he rode his bike and he was at a high speed. “How did you get here so fast?” I asked, sitting up with the help of his arms. “I rode on my bike,” he answered like a schoolboy caught stealing candy. He knew it’ll make me mad. “But Drew, you’re still healing. How could you have ridden the bike here?” He took his arms from me and sat down on the bed, staring down at his laps. “And you got here pretty fast. That means you were on high speed, Andrew!” I yelled, drawling his name. I was peeved by his thoughtless actions. I know he cared about me and all that but it was high time he started considering how his actions affected the people around him. God forbid, but if he had hurt himself riding to meet me, how did he think it’ll make me feel. I’d be devastated and would nev

Revelations
Anne“I’m surprised to find you here. I thought you’d be smooching with your boyfriend,” Joshua derided, walking into the garden.“Leave me alone, Joshua,” I said dryly, not even turning to look at him.“Come on! Don’t tell me you’re tired of him already,” He said with a humorless chuckle.I didn’t respond. I just shut my eyes and imagined he had been carried away by the strongest wind, or sunken into quicksand, or even dragged away by hungry lions. Anything that would make him disappear from my presence.“Anne, I warned that this wouldn’t end well. Not for any of you. It’s one road alone, the one to disaster,” he said confidently, moving to stand beside me.I suddenly turned and faced him. My sudden move made him jerk his neck back.“How do you know all that?” I asserted, right into his face. “Are you like a soothsayer or something? Why are you so confident about your predictions?” I asked, never losing eye contact.He was taken aback by my sudden forwardness.“They are mostly on poin

AnneHe smiled when he realized he had gotten back my interest.“Let me start with the milder ones. It’s shocking all the same,” he stated, walking towards me in tormenting slow steps. “All the beautiful party gowns you swooned over were gotten by Vincent. Oh, the accessories included. Andrew’s still a kid, he doesn’t know yet how to treat a lady. Well, he had intercepted the first cloth and sent it himself. Vincent got the second one and intentionally gave it to Andrew to send to you. When Vincent remembered that you weren’t into heels, he had ordered a sandals replacement and had it sent to you. Andrew wasn’t as thoughtful.”“I see nothing wrong with any of that,” I shrugged. I saw a lot of things wrong with it but I wasn’t going to reveal that. Not to him anyway.“Next one,” he began, rubbing his palms together in excitement, “Right here in the garden, Andrew got cozy with a nerdy girl. What’s her name again? Pamela. He got like down and dirty,” he elaborated. “When he told me the g

She Looks Real
Vincent I staggered into my house, and like yesterday, I didn’t bother switching on the lights. It was going to hurt my eyes anyway. I looked toward the kitchen and saw the lights on. The housekeeper was still around. She had a key so she would lock after her. All I needed to do was go and throw up just like yesterday, then fall into a long dark sleep. I thought leaving the house would make it better. It didn’t. Not seeing Anne was driving me crazy, especially the thoughts of her in my brother’s arms. It made me miserable. Immersing myself in my work didn’t help as it did with Fiona. I saw Anne on different people’s faces. When a patient trips and falls, I think of her. When someone is rampaging down the hallway, yelling at nurses, I remember her. She was everywhere and it was driving me mad. This made me result to doing what I’d always hated. Drinking. Even if it was for an hour or two, I needed to empty my mind from the ravaging thoughts of her. The side effects were horrible.

Nausea
Vincent She pulled away from me, wiping at her eyes to stop the tears. I took a few steps back to give her some space, but I was itching to hold her. I wanted to kiss those tears off her face. I wanted to whisper soothing words in her ear and have her lay on my chest, finding solace. But she didn’t want that. “Anny, talk to me,” I whispered. I felt that if I raised my voice, she’d break down completely. She looked straight into my eyes as if looking for answers. “Anny, please talk to me,” I was beginning to feel nauseous. “Why did you do it?” she finally spoke. This drove my nausea down a bit. But I was confused with the question. “Do what?” “Vincent, all I ever wanted was to study, make my grades, find a good job and take care of my family. I never asked to be sexually assaulted, yet it happened. Fine, I was ready to move past that. I wasn’t going to send your brother to jail, nor did I request an apology from him, yet he gave anyways. But what I don’t get is why you two deci

Pale and Lifeless
Anne “Don’t be too hard on him,” the soothing voice of an elderly lady stopped me on my track. I turned to face the lady that let me into the house earlier that night. She had her bag hanging loosely from her shoulders and a kind smile on her wrinkled face. “Excuse me?” I asked, perplexed. “Don’t be too hard on him dear. He’s quite a mess right now,” she said with the same kind smile. I had frowned my face at this. She didn’t know one bit what was going on, yet she’s taking sides. I kept quiet, contemplating whether to just excuse myself and leave, or just turn and leave. “You must be thinking, 'What’s this old lady yapping about?' I would think the same thing if I were you, but hear me out, child. He loves you…” I rubbed my palm over my face in frustration. She still didn’t get it. “That’s not the point ma'am…” I had begun but the shaking of her head made me stop talking. “I know child. I heard you yelling in despair. I’ve also seen him at his worse for a while now. Dear, h

Hear me Out
Anne ”I’m here,” I said quickly, holding his face and shoulders closer. “What are you doing here?” he asked, trying to sit up. I helped him into a sitting position whilst trying to think of the real reason I came up here. I don’t even know. I hadn’t planned on what I would say. I just knew I wanted to see him. “That’s not important. What’s important is getting you to a hospital,” I said, trying to pull him up. He shook his head. I stared at him as if he was going crazy, “Why not?” “I did not faint Anny, I was sleeping,” he said tiredly. I stared at him in shock. He called that sleeping. He was looking so pale and… As if he read my mind, he smiled and said, “I was drunk Anny. I still feel its effect. I’ve been puking for a while now. I couldn’t make it back to the room, so I decided to bring the room to me.” He dared to make fun of his situation. I almost smacked his head. “But you are weak, Vincent,” I argued. “Not really. I’m just tired of going back and forth. Nothing sali
