Remembering Liam

The sight of the familiar street used to lighten my spirits but it's only a constant reminder of what I couldn't get. The all too familiar house with one storey and the sight of the Gulmohar trees in the sidewalk brings back too many memories. The trees shed most of their leaves and stood in the cold October morning. I've never realized it's already been eleven months the last time I stood here.As, I continue trotting down the street, with the cold air hitting my face, and the skies so dark except for the morning star and the moonlight making the place looks so serene and pleasant. It captivates me how beautiful the skies are before the daylight, and yet everything disappears when the sun rises. Nothing stays the same way I thought, I need to learn how to accept my reality but it's not easy. I just want to stop being ungrateful. I rounded the corner and headed towards my home wondering why I thought it was a good idea to come here. Today is t

"Liam " I yell trying hard not to cry. We were alone in his home playing hide and seek. I was in his parent's room hiding in the closet. But it's almost been an hour and it's getting creepy. It reminded me of the horror movie, the girl hiding in the closet and then her phone ringing.I bit my lips hard willing myself not to cry, it's dark in here and I couldn't find the courage to yell again fearing of any spirit. I fear that if I scream, a hand would suddenly clamp my mouth threatening to kill me. I pray in my head mentally, sweating profusely.Tick Tock Tick  TockI was counting down seconds when the closet door yanks open."BOO""AHHHHHHHHHHI woke up alarmed and sat up yanking the covers off me. I look around frantically and my eyes landed on Liam sleeping figure at his chair. I look around his huge room, the walls are painted in

I stood on the balcony gazing at the sight of the mountains and skies. Manipur is truly beautiful, the cities are surrounded by hills on every side. The place gives a lively vibe and looks so gentle and peaceful. It's such a beautiful sight and I would have felt like it was okay but I could never be happy knowing my mom and dad are running away from the deceased family. Liam dad is a lawyer and he's trying hard to solve the problems, he got a call from my parents last night asking about me. It's been exactly two months since the ex-employee of my dad committed suicide, the news is the talk of the town for the whole week, it still is. I have moved in the guest room last week although Liam strongly disagree, I never knew why he would want me to stay with him, he probably pities me and thinks one day I am gonna break which is far from the truth because I don't even know what to think. I stop caring and I am too sad to cry. Why dwell on the what if's? I would acce

It's December twenty-fifth and almost three months I never got to talk with my parents, I am mad at them for leaving me alone but I couldn't bring myself to contact them either. The town is celebrating Christmas but I stay alone not really in the mood for Christmas. Days turn months and soon months will turn year. If only my parents are with me I would have bought gifts and we would have been so happy celebrating Christmas together. As he said Liam goes to college from his home, we would never stay alone together, so we hardly talk with each other. Chase texted me last night to meet up today and I am meeting him later. I know it's unfair for him to prolong this relationship and it needs to stop. No matter what I am breaking up with him. I was watching a movie with a phone in my hand scrolling the Instagram feed. I raised head and froze when I see Liam in the doorway staring at me. The intensity in his eyes makes me want to run out of the

Two years ago, It's  November now, the month in which every student appear their exam, as for me I have my matriculation In February, Liam will appear his 11th-grade exam in January, in short, we won't be able to enjoy our holiday. Sad life I know. I wish I could be like Justin because he just finish his exam yesterday and he doesn't have to study until the new session starts next year.When will I grow up and marry Liam?It's not the first time I envision my future, getting married to him on the sea beach, us having our kids, it's everything I dream of in the daytime rather than studying. If my mom knows I have feelings for my brother with no blood relation she is sure to be disappointed in me. So, I never tell anyone about my feelings for Liam.Better safe than be sorry. I walk down the street muttering curses under my breath, mom has asked me to bring veget
