  Okay, you’re pretty sure your eyebrows just jumped off your face and into your hairline—kind of like how Liam’s wanted to just moments earlier.   Your feet are immediately frozen in place, almost as if they’ve been physically cemented to the floor. Your legs feel foreign, like a pair of oversized ice blocks, their weight suddenly too heavy for the rest of your body.   A surge of ice shoots through them and flares throughout the rest of your body, making an especially notable impact as it slithers through… Magbasa pa

  Rambunctious laughter erupts from the living room, and you immediately recognize the boisterous sound; Karl Vallemosso, grandpa’s life-long best friend. A moment later, you hear Gran’s hearty laugh as well. You take a peek in their direction from the corridor and you can’t help but smile in gratitude.   You’re glad she has so many good people around her who love and support her. You’re also glad to finally see a genuinely happy smile on her face after so long. You haven’t seen or heard her smile and laugh… Magbasa pa

  You’d managed to beat the worst of the impending snowstorm last night, but not by much. Thankfully, the forecasts don’t expect any more snowstorms for the rest of the weekend. The memorial service doesn’t start for another two hours, but you’re already showered and dressed so you figure you’ll set the table for later.   You grab a bunch of paper plates from Gran’s pantry, and you can’t help but notice how they’re vibrating, but only because the hands that are holding them are trembling. Truth be told, you… Magbasa pa

  “Holy shiz-nit, Trix! Are you really telling me you…” you’re not even sure you can say it out loud. You can’t bring yourself to say that she fucked him. For crying out loud, you can’t even picture both of them together! It just seems way too strange.   Jordan is Drake’s long-time best friend, for goodness sake, and is pretty much an older brother to Trixie by default.   You guess she doesn’t see it that way, at least not anymore, and from what she’s telling you, apparently neither… Magbasa pa

  You’re pacing around your apartment like a madwoman, tossing around piles of papers and clothes and everything else that’s in your way.   Your keys. Oh God, where the hell are your keys?   Your movements are getting more and more frantic with each passing second that you can’t find them.   You don’t understand. You just had them.   Where the fuck did they disappear to?   Ugh! Of all the fucking times for something like this to happen!   You run your hand through messy hair, disheveling… Magbasa pa

  Even though your legs currently feel like they have the fortitude of straws, they somehow manage to carry you off into your bedroom. You absently kick your boots off your feet as you put your hair up into a ‘pineapple’; a practice that your night-time routine has dictated for the last decade or so of your life.   You change into your pajamas with far more effort than you think a person should require to change clothes. Twenty minutes later, you’re lying in your bed with freshly brushed teeth,… Magbasa pa

  You flip the light switch on and you’re immediately greeted by the sight of your living room; a small, confined space full of utter chaos.   There are books and old newspapers scattered everywhere, littered all over the floor and the counter and the sofa, and there’s an ever-growing pile of plastic bottles in the kitchen corner that you should have taken out to recycling over a month ago. It’s messy as hell, to say the least, and a perfect reflection of your current state of mind.   You… Magbasa pa

  When you finally meet her eyes again, she has this knowing smirk on her face.   “What? You didn’t really think I’d be able to get by just working at the ‘Great Ole’ Mushroom’, did you?” she raises her hands and gestures to the space around her to emphasize her sarcasm. “The only reason I’m still even here is ’cause I need an alibi to keep my boyfriend from being nosey, and Larry is pretty good at covering for me. I’ll be over and done with this crapper soon… Magbasa pa

  Your heart is still racing as you head to your car.   You’re shaky all over, your hand visibly trembling as you reach for your door, and you know it’s not because of the cold, despite the fact that the temperatures have dropped to below freezing right now.   You can’t get the look of his eyes out of your mind. They literally scare me…but they also make you feel something else; something you know you shouldn’t be feeling. Something you don’t think you’ve ever felt before. The way… Magbasa pa

  Your body moves before you can stop it, and a mix of shock and fear and something else you’re not really sure you want to admit that you’re feeling force your hands to push yourself off his shoulders, hauling you backward in a slight stumble.   Your abrupt reaction quickly puts some distance between you, but his other hand refuses to budge from its current resting place—your now very rigid waist. His grip on it actually seems firmer, if anything. You’re breathing hard, and the air enters and leaves… Magbasa pa
