❝Dear agony, I feel nothing anymore.❞

TW: suicidal thoughts, child abuse, bullying

Nick stalks towards me like a predator who has cornered his prey. And right now I very much feel like one. I scrambled up on the bed, he followed. Prowling until he is plastered against me, with the headboard digging into my back. I was entirely at his mercy.

There was no place for me to run. No place for me to hide, I'm trapped. He lifted his hand and slowly, leisurely stroked my face. From my brow to my chin, he rubbed my lips with his thumb,I trembled.

“You're shaking Andrea, why's that?” I tried to speak but no words were able to come forth, it seems my ability to speak had abandoned me.

“You have nothing to fear from me. I just want to know one thing, who sent you?”

“No one, I swear … I didn't.. I don't know what you are talking about Nick.” He tsked, he didn't believe me. Of course he didn't. He's smarter than that. Nicklaus Montgomery didn't become one of the richest, most influential people in the world by being stupid. Even I could hear the lie in my voice, I'd always been a horrible liar.

“You don't know how hard I'm trying to control myself right now. So do yourself a favor and answer my questions honestly. Maybe I could try not to call the police and have you arrested and we could find a way to work things out between us.” His voice was calm,he was not shouting as I expected anyone in his position would be.

He's not even visibly angry. That hard face with his dark cold eyes was blank, there's nothing on his face. I couldn't read him. And that more than anything made me tremble,I was scared, terrified even. Tears flowed down my face, his hand kept stroking me. My throat was so dry. I needed water to moisten my mouth.

“Please Nick.” I begged, not knowing what I was begging for. Was it mercy? Forgiveness? Or for him to let me go? Maybe it was all three, but I wasn't stupid to think he'd let me leave. Just like that. How did everything fall apart in a space of a few hours? Last night Nick had rocked my world into its axis, he'd irrevocably changed me forever. Last night I was in his embrace, on this very bed. So sore and completely sated. Now I'm a suspect or to put it aptly a criminal is more likely. I didn't know how the tables had done a 360 degrees turn and landed me here or more precisely now.

I wasn't a victim, I knew what I was getting myself into, and even with his frightening reputation I'd waltz right into his world. Right now I was questioning my sanity, because any sane person would have turned down this proposition. What was I thinking when I'd agree to do this dangerous job for Jules? To be fair I wasn't thinking, I only wanted to rid myself of Jericho at the time. I swallow a lump and pray my body gets found If I never escape this situation.

I think about these two, right now I got a little bit of a headache, but I want to tell you this somehow.

Because everyone has this one I know definitely about this.

I got this one every time on my body or mind.

I don’t know which one had it but some people say it’s In your mind not in your body, only the body feels tired.

Every people have laziness and confidence.

When we feel it it’s is another side of it it’s fear. hell yeah, I know it because all of this happened to me.

I still don’t know how to break those things in a situation. If I didn’t win that thing I can’t do things correctly.

But somehow recently no always I feel lazy now.

I don’t know why is it but always I try to ignore that.

It keeps happening every time.

I did my best to destroy that from myself.

confidence is the best thing to have for yourself, got yourself tight. Like Your mind, the mind can help you all the time.

Because you got everything you want inside of yourself so don’t be lazy or unconfident.

Am I prepared for this Christmas?

I am aware that many people have been anticipating their Christmas gifts since the beginning of the cold season. We dive headfirst into the holiday shopping season, searching high and low for the most thoughtful presents to give to our loved ones. Having a cup of coffee in the snow is a match made in heaven.

Maybe I should just skip this Christmas?

How many times have I told Jasper that I am never going to talk to him?

Don't ask me why I am angry. I am just so mad that I'll kill him!

We decided to meet at Lily's Cafe. Jasper and I were going to celebrate this Christmas alone at his penthouse.

And what does he do?

He ghosted me!

I wanted to make a cartoonish story that has crazy situations starred by silly and entertaining guys, with sections where things can be serious. And I'm already starting to publish it! I want Chaotic School to be half hilarious and funny situations and half cool moments and development. But I'm not going to lie that I like to do funny situations more. I'm sure it will be a very entertaining story. Enjoy Chaotic School!

Four very special sisters have been meeting in a very special glade since time immemorial, until something disrupts the balance. Inspired by a writing prompt.

The nature of being one log in a pile. Based on this prompt: Write a story in which someone says “You'll never be content.”
