‘OH NO’, she yelled. I stood there facing her – as blunt as could be. ‘But… why, Jo? Why’d you do it?’ ‘I had my reasons’, I said in a shallow voice. ‘I sat through high school, through college, through work – all the girls around me. I could not take it anymore. I was a victim, Shay.’ ‘A victim?’, she sat down, breathing it … Continue reading Being A Victim
My big day was finally pulling closer. Everything was arranged. My dress lay in front of me, and all my shoes were lined up neatly. As I breathed in the excitement of it all, he came in. I looked at him and hugged him tightly, thanking him for everything. He shifted my hair behind my ear and kissed my forehead. He looked at my attire … Continue reading My Big Day Is Finally Here, and I Could Not Ask For More
Chaos, absolute chaos. There was havoc everywhere. It was a nightmare to watch. Sparks were flying across the room and people were running, chasing, even hiding. I did feel somewhat responsible for this, but I did not have time to think about that just now. I geared up and adopted my combat. I could see fire, injuries, yet hopefully no death. There were announcements being … Continue reading The Unforgivable Attack
‘COME ON. It will be fun! I promise’, my friend was yelling from across the room. It had been days since I had gone anywhere and she had taken it onto herself to make me. I was reluctant. I had a lot of things to do and honestly, I was not so thrilled about it. ‘Oh, Jane, you need to get out once in a … Continue reading Raise Your Glass!
‘Are you sure you understand?’ She demanded, looking me dead in the eye. She has always known what she wants. We are both sailing in the same boat, except I never wanted to be in this boat. ‘Yes’, I said, wrapping my hair in a tight bun. I knew this was never something I had aspired to do, but not everybody receives what they dream … Continue reading I Made It To The List
All the papers had been filed, the documents loaded, and the coffee machine turned off. I could finally go home. I clicked my phone open to see if I had gotten any calls. I knew he would be waiting for me. Tucked under the sheets with open arms – it was the perfect way to end the day. I just wanted to stare at him … Continue reading A Cuddle For Your Thoughts
‘Hey’, my phone blinked. ‘I’d love if you wear that tonight. I know you are a little afraid, but you will have a good time if you know what I mean.’ I knew this night was going to come soon. We had become very close in the past three months. I also knew that I owed him a lot, everything, perhaps. I picked up my … Continue reading Pulling the Thread
Another night, another heart break – it felt like a recurring situation that had gotten me nowhere so far. Like the amazing friends that they were, they stood firm through it all and came to me with our ritualistic solution. “It’s time”, Jo said. I nodded. Anna got the car keys, while the rest dressed me up. It was tough to get back outside and … Continue reading Therapy of Sorts
He was there, again. Following me everywhere I went. There was no one I could tell since they would not believe me. I could feel his shadows creep around me as I would sleep or wake up. He was messing with my head; I kept crying myself to sleep every night. I thought of reporting him. But what was I supposed to say? I … Continue reading The Saga
“Good morning, beautiful”, I looked at her, sighing. I wonder how I got so lucky to be able to wake up to her face every morning. “Give me a second”, I said to her, “I will be right back”. I rushed to the kitchen to make me some coffee, and grab some breakfast. I had a list of things planned for the day. I had … Continue reading A Love Like No Other`
