She was recovering really fast and the whole family just began to exhale in relief when she was plunged into severe relapse by an offsetting text by her fiancee saying he's 'moved on' since she won't be alive for too long.
That was the roughest year for Shirley and I'd catch her cry herself to sleep almost every time.
I was hurt because she was going through such pain and I couldn't do anything about it.
After about six months, she decided to go back to Paris to start all over again. After days of contemplation, Mum finally agreed.
I prayed in my heart for her safety as I watched her walk towards the plane, her back turned towards us, her last words re-echoing in my mind.
'I'd be opening a lemonade shop soon with the amount of lemons life keeps throwing at me.' She chuckled sadly as her hazel eyes glowed dimly.

It's been hours since Tee left. Tired of staring at the ceiling, I picked up my phone and as usual, I had several missed calls. Scrolling through my call log, I noticed an unknown number dialed a day ago.'Who could this be?' I muttered as my thumb hovered over the dailer. Curiousity getting the better of me, I dailed the number, hoping it doesn't turn out to be a stalker or someone worse.After a few rings, the reciever picked.'Hello?' I said, my voice unnecessarily shaky as I spoke.'Hello. I didn't think you would call.' A strangely familiar voice filtered through the buzzing static invading my ears.'Yeah, likewise because I'm not sure who's speaking. I saw your number dialed on my phone and I had to call to know whose number it is.' I answered.'Ouch. So you didn't save my number afterall.' He replied. 'It's Victor. Victor Storm.'Silence.'Hello?'

'That's like, ten minutes walk from Art at heart!' Amber replied'Wait... Art at Heart? I thought it was called the Dreamhouse?' I questioned, looking puzzled at my Goth companion who paid me zero attention.'Oh... well, not much persons know it as The Dreamhouse yet so... you know what? I'll come get you. Where are you at Worswick street?' Amber asked'At uh, Dreamhouse?' I said 'As in, the kiddies park dream house.' I added for clarification.Ambers melodious chuckle filled my ears as she replied.

I'm not much of an attention seeker but then I guess it's happening today. I marched on in my black platform boots, ignoring the hoots and whistles as I walked into the workshop building.

A look crossed his face I couldn't quite decipher, but he answered.'Sure. Of course we are. And I'm sorry if I overstepped my boundaries and acted like an overprotective father, I just... I care...about you, that's why. And I don't want some guy coming to telling you sweet words just to get laid.' Allen seethed, his fist clenched as he spoke.'Allen...' I warned. My heart swelled a little with joy because of his words but I didn't let it show.'I'm-I'm sorry.' He pulled me into a hug. I was stunned at first, my arms hanging limp at my sides but a few seconds later I hugged him back and his shoulders relaxed.'It's okay.' I muttered. 'I forgive you.''Thank You Princess.' He replied, hugging me a little tighter. 'Gosh, I've missed you.'Chuckling, I replied. 'I've missed you too.'It felt good now Allen and I are cool again. I wouldn't want to loose an amazing frien

I looked up from my manual and let my eyes stray a bit.At least I made myself believe that.I was subconsciously searching for a particular pair of green eyes and when I found it-or rather- when it found me, I smiled inwardly.His eyes remained fixed on me, not straying for a second.The instructor's lecture on bench fitting fell on deaf ears as our stare contest continued.Then he smiled, his dimples on full display. I ignored the flutter in my stomach which made me feel antsy. Soon I'd have to use the bathroom.'Annie.' A voice whispered beside me. I refused to look as I didn't need to guess who was trying to get my attention.'Not now, Amber.' I replied, not sparing her a glance.'No, can't do. You've been avoiding me all week.' She continued.'Yes, It was deliberate. I'm not interested in what you have to say, thank you very much.' I responded curtly.'But-'<

It was lunch break and there I was, nibbling at my tacky lunch distractedly...alone.You read that right.Ariel and Dara were nowhere to be found.I turned down Allen's offer to sit with him during lunch because I expected those two to be here sitting with me right now. As I finished my lunch, I saw them waltzing in, talking excitedly to each other.'Ariel, Dara, where have you been? You said you'd be here by lunchtime.' I enquired, slightly annoyed and relieved at the same time.'Oh, we had to do some...stuff.' Dara said, smiling knowingly at Ariel.'Yeah. We had some matters to attend to.' Ariel shrugged.'Um...You guys wanna share?' I asked hesitatantly, already feeling hurt for them doing 'stuffs' w
