I stared into his deep greed emerald eyes, giving the smallest of smiles. He plastered on a practiced smirk, grabbing my hand.

“So…” he said, looking to my face. “You love me too?”

I was so lost in his eyes that I couldn’t respond for a second. It was like I couldn’t remember what I was supposed to be saying.

Before I could recall, a loud voice shouted, “CUT!”

Ethan’s smile dropped and he glar...

I open my eyes

I’m awake

I don’t want to be awake

I want to go back to sleep

I don’t want to face the day

I want my bed

Oh okay look at that my alarm is going off

I’m not getting up to stop it ringing

Well I can hit snooze at least

Getting back in bed now

Well okay now it’s ringing again

I could have sworn I just turned it off

Wait why is my alarm on again

Wait do I have school

Wait ...

Do you remember me at all?

Do you remember how you denied that you’d ever known me?

Do you remember how I begged for help and all you did was flee?

Do you remember how we used to laugh and talk?

Do you remember how you left me when I couldn’t walk?

Now as I watch from above, do you remember me at all?...

I tilted my head up just enough so that the sun flashed across my face. The warmth made me feel for just a second that maybe everything would be okay. But as I opened my eyes and saw my family standing there, my heart broke again. I didn’t want to leave them.

Mary already had tears streaming down her face. I dropped my bag and ran over, scooping her up in my arms.

“Everything is going to be fine...

We used to be happy

Now we’re are no longer an “us”

“I’m sorry” doesn’t cover it

But I won’t make a fuss

You sat and confessed

While love and hate blurred

You thought I didn’t hear you

But I heard every word

Waves crash and retreat

Sand forgives and forgets

And it happens once more

Still you have no regret

You apologized again

That last brain cell stirred

I knew you didn’t mean it

But I heard...
