Heart-xoxo

   His arm felt warm along the length of my spine, making me smile in delight each time I gently pushed against it. Electricity jumped between us each time we shifted, lighting up our faces almost as much as the fireworks   The boat rocked slightly beneath us, the charer of the surrounding people seeming far removed from where we were. It was as if we were on a totally different planet in a whole different universe, with perfection and surpise working together in perfect harmony. In front of us Tory giggled and pointed to the latest firework as it bloomed beautifully mysterious in the sky above us. "That one! Now THAT one is my favorite!" W

In Susan’s typical fashion, she had forgotten that I had started school that day. She only realized it had when I appeared at the bottom of the stairs, fishing my phone out of my backpack, at 7:30 in the morning. “Camping?” She asked lazily, her eyebrows raised. She had a mug of steaming coffee between her hands, the ‘Sunrise’ nail polish on her nails chipping at the edges. Her hair was sticking up in all directions around her head, and she was wearing the long, white robe Robert had bought her when they first met on the cruise ship. The golden ‘S’ was proudly stitched onto the side, a stray string or two c

The last lyrics of “Few Seconds” rang in my ears as I slowly pulled my earphones out. The song had been playing on repeat for the last hour and half. (Ever since I had rolled over on my side around 1:45 AM and accidently selected it from my playlist on repeat and had yet to turn it back.)   Turning my head to face the clock, I saw that it read 3:16 AM. I let out a long, drawn-out sigh, chewing my lip. Red spots flashed in front of my eyes as I refocused to the darkness of my bedroom, the outlines of the things in my room blurring. My eyes roamed about the room, choosing another spot on the white-washed wall to stare a

The music seemed too loud in my ears, echoing inside my head. Eric’s smile seemed too fake, and his hands felt too hot on my hips. I blinked, ducking my head. As I glanced down, scream came up and got stuck in my throat. My skin stretched painfully over my hands, strained to the point where I feared that it would come off. My fingernails went pearly white, blood gushing from under the strained nails. My feet became a dark, ashen color, digging into the tops of my feet, threatening to pop my shoes off. My eyes couldn’t focus, and the soft light from the candles seemed to grow bright as dozens of super novas’. I hurriedly dropped

The Heirloom "Bring me...my son..." The king gasped, grasping his servant and pulling him close. The servant, determined not to let his utter disgust for the dying king show, gave a solemn nod and scurried out of the room and down the hall. His footsteps echoed as he left, his breath heavy, as he had been the messenger between the two for days now. The servant, who was known around the castle as Thogur, had seen countless kings and princes come to power for the kingdom of Aarain, yet he had not aged a great deal; they had all died within a decade of knighthood. As soon as Thogur had gone, the dying king pulled from beneath his robes a smal
