Things We Do

The one for us. The
one life we live. The
disappointments we
go through. The
times we have dealt
with the weight of
the world. The heavy
head we carry. The
sadness we bottle
up. The fake smiles
we paint on. The one
day we have a good day.

Chapter 3 - Who is He?

“Shopping at the mall was a great idea.” Tina said.

“It really was!” Hailey said back to her.

“Abby! Abby!” Tina shouted trying to get my attention.

“What? What’s happening?” I said waking up from my trance.

“You haven’t said a word for an hour.” Hailey said.

“Are you still thinking about that boy?” Tina asked me.

“Yeah.” I said.

“Why? You don’t even know him.” Hailey stated.

“I know, I know. There was just something about him that just made me feel off.” I said to my friends.

“Well, yeah. A random boy came up to you out of nowhere and wanted you to come with him. I would be creeped out to.” Tina said.

“Yeah, but it's like this weird feeling I guess.” I said to Tina.

“Are you actually thinking about finding him?” Hailey asked.   

“No, of course not. I don’t even know him.” I said to Hailey.

“Are you sure your not going to go after him. Remember he could be dangerous.” She said back to me.

“Yes, I am sure. I wouldn’t go off and do something stupid like follow a boy I don’t even know.” I said trying reassure her.

“Good!” Hailey said. “And if he comes back I would make sure to punch him in the face and get rid of him!”

“I know you will.” I said laughing.

Hailey’s the type of friend you always want around. She is tough and caring. She will always make sure Tina and I are safe. And she will always tell what's on her mind. No boy stands a chance against her.

“So let's talk about boys!” Tina said excitedly. “Did you see Will the other day! He was gorgeous!”   

“Wow!” I said.

“Oh come on. I know a girl who has a crush on a guy named Owen.” Tina said smiling at me.

“I never said that!” I said blushing while I punched her on the arm.

“Well the blushing means you do.” Hailey said making me blush more.

“So what if I do!” I said.

“Ask him out!” Tina said to me.

“What? No!” I shouted.

“Why not? You two would make a great couple.” Tina said.

“I can’t.” I said.

“Yes you can!” Tina said back.

“You have two days to ask him or we will tell him ourselves.” Hailey said.

“Fine.” I said to them. “I will do it.”

“Yay!” Tina shouted with excitement.

“I can't believe you are making me do this.” I said.

“Your welcome.” Hailey said to me.

We kept on walking through the mall and while I was planning on how to ask Owen out, then that boys face from after school today popped into my mind. Who is he?

Flowers - Part 1

Let me tell you a story.
It's neither from the beginning nor the end.
The beginning indeed is the end.

She ate right out of my heart,
Neither because I let her
Nor because she could.
she'd been hurt a lot, turned against,
Even now she's a widow.
Like a flower she blossomed,
We grew together,
I was her stalk and she my root but even then
she remained the flower still.

Seasons came and went,
Unexpectedly we became more like pollen grains,
I knew what I wanted,
Became more defined,
but she remained vulnerable.
I pulled her(at least I tried),
cause every time the wind blew she whispered "Hold on, no 

one is going to get left behind".
I tried, I did.
But she remained vulnerable and got kicked about.
She was trampled upon like a cheap carpet grass.
Disposed as pleased like cheap degradable waste.
She let the lies of the world of passers-by get to her
then she became a lie herself.

She was beautiful no doubt but he didn't deserve her
and she him.
I was always there but to her I was just a wallpaper and
he, her world.
He made her feel as though she was wanted and loved.
Now he's gone.
Where is he now?
Who is going to take care of the tears that seem as
though the times of Noah are reoccurring.
Me! Me!! Me!!! I let go and let God.
She became a disease and I her cure.
But I was nothing anymore.
It was like she was immune.
More like she had other goals.
She wanted to make the world pay.
She blamed the world for her loss.

The Princess, Queen, and King - Part 1

           One day there was a girl, she lives in an old run down castle. It is December 27, 2020, her birthday. She is 17 years old as of today. She has no maids or guards. She has one friend and a boyfriend. She is a beautiful, kind, caring princess.
           She was calling her best friend on her 17th birthday. But her best friend never answered. So she decided to call later. She picked up the phone to call her boyfriend but when she heard a thud up stairs she jumped and dropped the phone. Which made the screen on her phone crack. She kept hearing thuds. Thud! Thud! Thud! She decided to see what it was but sure it was probably just something falling. She slowly walked up the stairs and while doing that she kicked off her beautiful blue sparkling heels and left them on the stairs. She didn't want to make noise as she walked, in case a robber was in the castle.

          She spent twenty minutes trying to unlock her bedroom door but it would not budge. So when the door finally came open after she put on her heels and went down stairs. She stopped in the middle of the foyer to look at the light coming into the dark hallway that was coming from her room. As she walked away to grab her phone she heard her name being called. It sounded like a deep manly voice.
          "Emily!" The voice called as she twirled around to see who it was. "Emily, it's just you."
          "Tyler?! Is that you?" She said holding back tears.
          "Who else would it be sweetie?" He asked while hastily descending the stairs  to meet her for a hug.
          "I've missed you." She replied angered right before feeling his warm embrace. "Why are you here?"
          "Lilly and I were going to throw your 17th birthday bash here. Until you called her and left a voice mail saying to meet you here." He simply lied. He was really there on a mission to kill her. He poisoned the water in the glass by her bed. "Instead you want to go out tonight? Lilly has work until midnight anyway."
          "No, let's just stay in and watch TV." The beautiful brown haired, blue eyed girl replied.
          "Okay, let's go up stairs and watch TV in your room." The tall, blonde haired, green eyed boy said as they walked up stairs.

Chapter 2: What?

             “I don’t understand.” I whispered to myself as I watched Abby walking away. “How could she not remember? How could she not remember me?
I started walking now trying to understand. I just don’t get it. She disappears for three months and then I find her at a school. What’s going on? The last thing I remember was us and the team going into a cave then it's all a blur. We all were back at our hideout except for Abby. So what happened? I kept walking 'till I got to our hideout to where the team was. They were all upset about Abby missing but after three months they started to give up.

“Hey kid, did you find Shadow?” Aaron asked. Aaron was the oldest one on our team. Oh, and if you haven’t figured it out by now, when I mean team I mean a superhero team. Anyway, Aaron, aka Sharp Shooter, is kind of a jerk. He uses a bow that has a gun attached to it. He is full of himself and a pain but he cares about us even though he doesn’t admit it. He thinks he can boss us around now because he is leader but we don’t listen like we listen to our first leader, Abby, aka Shadow. Ever Since she left we all had to adjust. Aaron adjusted to being leader.

“Yeah, sort of but…” I started to say till Aaron cut me off.

“Wait really you saw her!” Aaron said excitedly.

“Well…” I started.

“Everyone get in here quick!” Aaron said calling everybody over.

“What is it? What’s happening?” Pearl asked. Pearl can change her body into different rock minerals. So she can either be really hard or soft. She was Abby’s best friend.

The others filled in. In the room I could see Tony, Rose, Tori, and…

“Hey.” Dylan said teleporting into the room.

And there is Dylan. Dylan, aka Quantum, can teleport. Tony, aka Sociopath, can move things with his mind. Rose, aka Flora, can control plants. Tori, aka Virus, can control technology. And I, Jackson, aka Dagger, uses daggers and a katana that uses the energy of the earth to become stronger.

“Jackson found out something.” Aaron said.

“I found Shadow.” I said.

“That’s wonderful.” Rose said.

“So where is she?” Dylan asked.

“Well..."

Hey guys here is the second part of my new series. More to come on the way! Keep reading to find out what happened to Abby and what Jackson will do.

Soulmate's Date

The music starts to play as I walk down the aisle,

My dress drags behind me in a white pile .

In front of me I see my to-be husband,

And a colorful bouquet of flowers in my hand.

I get to the vows and I start to cry,

As I think I am lucky to have found the perfect guy.

It is near the end of the ceremony and it is time for us to kiss,

I will always remember and cherish the moment as perfect bliss.

At the reception we danced to the perfect song,

I could stay there forever, all night long.

The night ended with me in his arms,

And from that moment forward I knew I would come to no harm.
