It had been a truly tough day for me. All of my bottled up stress, rage, and sadness had been on the verge of escaping in an uncontrollable burst of emotion. I was like a volcano ready to erupt. My emotions were boiling as hot as magma, and it burned like hell. But I couldn’t let that show, I had to appear strong to him. I just had to!

But the moment he walked into the room, I couldn’t hold any ...

She blinked, trying to return to reality. At some point, she stepped back without realizing it. Isha was no longer calling her over. Hands clasped together, carefully watching Jinx, as if silently asking _"did I do something wrong?"._

No. No, no, no… She didn't. Never.

Jinx swallowed hard, forcing herself to step closer, kneeling and reaching out her trembling hands to Isha's light.

The girl pi...

His hand brushes mine as he places my cup of tea on the table. 'Thank you.' I say, my hand burning from his touch. He nods in response and settles beside me, opening his book and begins scanning the page. I raise the steaming mug to my lips, the scent of peppermint overflowing my senses. 'My favourite.' 'I know.' He responds. It shocks me, that he listened to me while i ranted for half an hour abo...

Thank you for rubbing my back as I fell asleep at night.

I don’t think I ever told you how much that comforted me.

Thank you for making lunches and dropping the kids off.

Those slow mornings mean everything to me.

Thank you for giving me another son.

A reminder of everything we’ve built together.

Thank you for showing up for two boys you didn’t create.

The way you’ve ensured we never go without...

There's a certain warmth to him that I can't quite explain, a warmth that spreads up into my chest, into my neck, then the tips of my ears as I glance to my side. He's a steady presence, arm pressed agaisnt mine. He doesn't reach out, doesn't move, doesn't even offer a word in the silence. I let my eyes fall back to my hands, flexing my fingers.

I pause, hand splayed open in the cold winter air. ...

“There is more out there in the world for us to discover. The destinations and the journeys that we shall go, we will be together. Isn’t that what you want? There is a future written in the stars that is destined for us. We believe in the stars because that is how we met. Our stars collided, we collided helping us to realise what we adore. We collided to have a future that is meant for us,” I say ...

My love,

You are the oxygen in my lungs

You are the blood coursing through my veins

I am filled with nothing but you

My love,

You are every thought in my head

Every nerve in my body

You are every beat of my heart

My love,

A black hole, stealing all my love

I am every planet and you’re my sun

You are the centre of my universe

My love for you is an ocean

And I drowned long ago

My love....

I close my eyes and I see you beside me

I see you walking my heart feels as though it’s running a marathon

I hear your voice it’s like hearing the waves in the ocean

Tell me what it means if your all I think about

Your all I wanna see throughout the day

What’s it mean when I look into your eyes and I see a future I see you walking down the altar....

"Xara, you are my sun, my stars, and the air I breathe. You consume me, my every thought and wish." I take another step towards her, but she doesn't move from the ledge. "I hear your sweet, serene voice in my dreams calling me and I've never craved the sound of my name more than when it escapes from your lips." Another step, I'm right behind her. I crouch down and soothingly stroke her pale s...

Maria had done her hair and makeup beautifully, something she hadn’t done alot, but tonight was special. She was going out with Joel, a guy she had met online. They’d talk over messages alot and Maria had really liked him. Maria was putting more efort into what she wore and what she looked like today, just for Joel.

Joel had gotten out of bed after laying there for a while. He was nervous, very n...
