A Lie Away From You

It is 6:00 pm and crowds arriving home from their activities to their families, pets, and that special someone disturbed the roads. Doors kept opening with people entering their residences. You could hear the loud noises of emotions, arguments, and conversations from every angle of the streets. Far west of Brooklyn, where the streets gleam and never fall asleep, stood a house near the Harper family bakeshop. Its owner appears to be lonesome, yet he is a kind married guy who endured being devoted to his spouse. The door of his yellow-painted home opened, and he stepped in, with his hands occupied with Jennie's fa

The next morning the sun had awakened, and the Lenovo smart clock on the desk next to the bed ticks. Jackson tossed on the mattress to avoid the irritating noise from his alarm clock. He did not want to wake up from the bed. His heart still hurts from last night's incident. And what he desires is to stay in bed and not have to go out. He did not want to explain himself to his best friend. Who always notices when he's depressed. However, what he is experiencing is worse than depression. It is a heartbreak without the breakup part. Who could have guessed that he would spend his anniversary mobbing and alone in bed

The powerful wind blew through the yellow house when the door opened, and an À la mode woman stepped in. She turned on the light and felt disgusted by how dirty the living and dining room appeared. Empty alcohol bottles and dirty dishes with food in them were on the dining table. Burn out candles, rose petals, and daisies scattered on the floor. Jennie became upset. The one thing she despises the most is littering, and Jackson knew that. He had never been this sloppy since they lived together because he understood it offended her. "What has changed about him over these past months?" She questions herself when she enters the kitchen and notices stains, empty whiskey bottles, and spilled food spots on her white marble counter. However, what alarmed her the most were the several bloodstains on the table. Jennie felt anxious, and her mind when wild. She thought something severe had happened to her husband, but she cou

Julie entered her house, and to her astonishment, her parents were awaiting her in the living room.  "Don't you people feel bored or something? Why are you still awake at 1:00 am? You guys are too old for morning patrol." She told her parents and let out a sigh.  Julie noticed that her dad looked sleepy and angry. He kept drowning his head and waking up from his sleep every time his wife spoke.  "I guess this is not dad's idea. So mother, what do you want to know?" Julie asked her mom in a sarcastic tone.  Mrs. Harper frowned at her daughter's statement. "How was the party? And to be honest, I was the one who forced you to go. So, I deserve to know what happened?" She told her daughter.  "This club is impressive and dope!" Julie screamed toward Jackson, who stood closer to her.  He

The sunlight reflects through the window and flashes its lights across Jennie's face."Ummm, hmmm!" Jennie said as she tried to keep her eyes shut. But, the sun did not consider the fact that she's just arrived home from her trip. And she had been crying all night because of her conflict with Jackson. It kept intensifying its lights in their room.  "Five more minutes, please." She cried and placed the pillow over her head. Jennie felt a movement on the bed, and she quickly threw the pillow off her head and sat up.  "Good morning, hubby." She whispered and tried to reach out for her morning kiss from him.  "Morning," Jackson said in his deep voice and left the bed without touching his wife.  He did not look back as he walked into the bathroom. Jennie seemed upset, and she felt hurt. Tears settled in her eyes, but she held them back and told herself, "
