The Falling. (Book 1)

Isn't it crazy how your whole life can change just from the few people you meet? How they have the ability to trick you, manipulate your mind and have you bending over to their own will.The fact that one person can make you change your whole outlook on life and how you see yourself is scary and truly amazing too. That they can make you forget your morals and true values.What you believe in and how you look at life. That was K for me. He made me feel good about myself and accept myself. True we had our differences but I like to believe we helped each other grow...apart.My names Rina, and I'm short and chubby with a cute soft belly that could be a pretty comfortable pillow. I have hazel-brown eyes, thick small pink lips, a light shade of chocolate as my skin colour and shoulder-length goldish brown hair that's really hard to tame. In conclusion, I'm black."Are you sure this is what you want?" My mom aske

Butterflies in my stomach and legs wobbly like jelly as we reach an isolated place which is surprisingly beautiful. I think we're in some artsy environment because there are paintings all over the walls and blank canvases all around and it smells like paint so yeah.He leads me to the stage and I immediately sit on it, my legs dangling on the edge, I put all of my torsos weight on my hands and lean back admiring the room. I see Ian looking at me from the corner of my eye, grinning like he's won a prize...maybe I am."What?" I ask him matching his smile."Nothing, I was just admiring your beauty Ri" he says with a wide smile...he shortened my already short name to 'Ri'! I'm already thinking he is my ' boyfriend ' and I can't help the blush that rises to my cheeks after what he just said...' I'm beautiful '!"Cheesy line, but thanks" I try to sound not affected. His laugh is so precious he has me joining in

Three months later.So much time has passed and life has been a bubble of bliss. Ian and I are still going strong but lately, I feel as if he is pulling away. When I asked him about he said I was looking for a fight. "Baby, is there anything wrong with us?" "What do you mean?" "Tell me if I'm wrong, but lately it feels as if we're not connected like we used to, are you comfortable being with me?" "Where's all this coming from Rina!?" he raised his voice and YEAH he called me Rina! That hurt so bad...what happened to 'sweetcakes' "Woah! Why are you shouting? It

The party is going great and the atmosphere is fun, but what has me worried is the tension I'm sensing between Ian and Zoé. What the hell is going on here that I don't know? Thuso also seems to be looking at him with pure disgust but when she looks at me, its a look of sympathy.I get up from Ian's lap to go grab some water, I feel no need to drink alcohol because I feel shit is about to blow up and I need to be sober for it."Where are you going baby?" Ian asked me holding my wrist."Why does it matter to you!?" Zoé asked angrily, woah!"I wasn't talking to you Zoé, mind your business!" Ian spat out and Zoé got up to stand in front of Ian."You know what Ian, you full of shit! I can't believe you outta all people would do that, how could you be so cruel and selfish. Screw you!""Okay...what is going on..." but none of them answer me "Zo&e
