Since when did
R J K P E
Become
J & E
P & K
And me?
In just two days
We went from one big group
Too two and two and lil single me
I mean I’m happy for my friends!
They finally got together
But now I’m kinda lonely
When Theyre too busy flirting with each other
I actually had a crush on J
But E did too
He took his pick
_And it wasn’t you_
I’m really okay
No need to ask
But playing nice and s...
Heart pump
Breath quick
Blood rush
Palms slick
Doubt creeps up my spine and wraps his cold, spiked hands around my neck.
Breathe
Faster
Hot tension fills my body as every muscle tenses.
My stomach drops and pulls in as fear joins the massacre that is my mind.
Fear slithers and wraps around my chest as doubt scratches at my throat.
Fear slices my rib cage and doubt seeps into the wounds. Doubt’s ...
Yea I have friends
And I have a friend group!
I think
It’s hard to tell
I join the conversation and they save me a seat
But when they talk to me ours eyes never meet
They said there was a party
They even said I could come
But the invite never came
And now I feel dumb
Are we friends?
Do you like me?
Or are you just politely tolerating me, hoping that I leave you alone.
I’ll treat you like we’re...
“MAUI?!?!?!?”
He lifts his head slowly, dark brown curls gently falling over his shoulder.
“What..?”
I jump onto the table and grab his ear, “MAUI DEMI-GOD OF THE WIND AND SEA!”
“What the crap!” He yanks away quickly and holds a chair between me and himself.
“I AM MOANAAAAAAA!!!”
Fear fills his eyes as my usual sweatshirt and jeans shifts into a grass skirt and beaded tube top and my chain changes...
We’ve always been taught:
“Things have to get worse for them to get better.”
Or
“The sun is warmer after the rain”
Or something similar to that.
What they don’t mention is that the good part is often cut short and is never fulfilling enough to compensate for the darkness.
The darkness lasts to long.
When do I give up?
Does it ever stop?
I can’t fight for the rest of my life. This isn’t living.
Y...
I sit on the hotel bed, a slight shiver from the cheap AC runs through me. I open my book but pause, the sensation of being watched lays heavy over me. I look up and can’t feel it anymore.
_Strange-_
I look don’t at the page and feel eyes on me again, this time closer. Panic catches in my throat as I fell the energy in the room shift.
_They’re moving?_
I glance up again and the feeling drops ins...
“Don't look now-” He whispers, putting his hand on my shoulder and his mouth up to my ear.
“But they're right behind you.”
I can hear the smile in his voice as I continue drawing the symbol into the sand. My hand shakes with the feeling of being watched.
_As long as I'm in the circle, they can't get to me._
Although the knowledge should comfort me, I can't shake the pressing feeling of their veno...
I pull the hood farther over my face as I push through the crowd. Poison and waste sting my nose. I hate this part of the city. I feel a hand lightly slip into my pocket, I grab their wrist and whip around to face them. Light orange eyes stare back at me and a smile spreads across his face.
“Welcome to the ruins, _Avinna_” He slips his hand around my waist guiding me into the nearest alley. I don’...
“How-“
“And why!”
“I don’t know.”
“How the heck did-“
“I’m honestly not quite sure.”
“You _accidentally _joined the Italian mafia?!”
“HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW??”
“Didn’t you sign a contract to join?”
“No but i got a cool temporary tattoo!”
“I hate to say it but that isn’t temporary…”
I stare back, still smiling but fear filling my eyes.
“I ACCIDENTALLY JOINED THE ITALIAN MAFIA AND GOT ...
