Prompt: Breakup

why me?


//


“Why me? Why not break up with the person you obviously called baby at the club last night? I thought I was your baby Tyler. I don’t understand.” The fighting between the couple escalated until it was at a shrill and complete yell. Heartstrings tore, life was utterly and depressingly delayed until this fighting stopped. Owens stormed into his (and his former fiance)’s shared bedroom and he tore threw the closet, shoving all of Tyler’s clothes and possessions into the suitcase. He then threw it out of the room, papers scattering and clothes flying out the hastily closed suitcase. “Owens.” “Don’t you dare.” “Owens, I’m sorry.” “Ty, you should have apologised before you decided to end it.” There was audible sobbing from Tyler at the cold edge in his ex-fiance’s voice. Owens, angry, his vision clouded with tears, took off the engagement ring and threw it behind him. “Go.” Owens spoke that final word as the sound of a suitcase rolling could be heard, and the front door to the apartment was heard slamming.
They said to put it in a spoiler .-.

PROMPT:A world where love doesn't exsit but two people fall in love

[My world? Hah, it’s nothing interesting… No-one seems to even have feelings towards each other.. Well, until I was born at least;my mean, boring parents always told me I was lucky because the two still talk (my mum and dad that is) whereas most children’s parents fought over who had to keep you -not in the good way. In our world every child was called a disgrace, simply because no-one actually passionately had feeling towards one and another which wasn’t the the ‘oh we’re friends’ zone.
I call this place my world but it’s more like a city so when a new family moved in everyone was half shocked and half confused that a family would want to move to this junk-hole;the family consisted of one child and a happily wedded couple. As soon as I saw their child’s short, scruffy red hair I felt a spark, almost as if I was attracted to him; his soft features; his speckled freckles; and that beautiful crimson hair of his. Am I in love -no, surely not; love isn’t an emotion, especially for someone born here in this rotten dump which I’ve learnt to call home.


I couldn’t believe it, the register was being taken and then I heard the teacher say: “Rory, yes Rory your new correct?”
In response I heard what I thought was the most dreamy, smooth, calm voice in the world -you would think he’s being going here forever with the confidence in his voice!


I walk home everyday thinking: Rory... Everything about you is perfect… Everything!
I wondered if he felt the same way, as passionately as I felt for him… I knew these emotions were stupid and almost as impossible as a bee and a dog mating but it was real. The way I felt was almost as if I was in a trance, the trance of love and compassion.


As more days passed I watched him, learning soon he was empathetic, kind and sweet; his exterior was rough but his interior was as soft as a teddy bear! I will get to know him more, more personally, more closely and hopefully become more than friends -well i hope at least.


I think people in my class are slowly fitting together the pieces of the puzzle as Lucy (probably the most bossy person in the whole, entire world) came up and quite rudely said to me in a demanding voice: “So lover girl, who is it? Come’on Ruby, tell us! Your probably the only person in this place to ever like someone. Or should I say LOVE someone?”

She walked of laughing with her friends, turning back to me every so often, smirking menacingly at me as if she knew who I liked and was about to tell him.


I think he likes me! He’s showing feelings towards me now; after 6 months of building trust, Rory’s closer to me than he ever has been…


I’m going to do it; it’s time I tell him.. I approach him, trying to stay confident and calm, then I ask him: “Rory… I’ve wanted to tell you since I first laid eyes on you,” tension was building as everyone was called to watch the rare phenomenon unfold, “I like you and I want to be more than friends! I know it’s sudden but I~I can’t wait any longer to tell you. It’s stupid ,I know, but I want to be with you, forever! You don’t have to say yes Rory but I wanted you to know, know how I feel towards you..”


My response.. Was shocking and exciting all at the same time, here is what he said: “Ruby.. Your so sweet, so kind; why wouldn’t someone want you? If you asking to date me then of course I’m going to say yes. After all, this town does need some love besides my parents!”
He’d chuckle and hug me, I guess you can find love in any place; whether people say it’s impossible or not!]

Prompt: A world where love doesn't exist but two people have fallen in love
Tobias and I pushed our way through the crowd, acting as if we were strangers. If we were caught looking like we knew each other, we would certainly have some terrible reputations. "You there, boy, what are you doing over here?" A woman asked Tobias. We were South of the Haslica line, which meant we were in the territory of the women. "Get back up North, before I call the cops!" Somebody yelled. We were on the edge of the closest town to the Haslica line, meaning we hadn't ventured far into their territory. I was welcome there, but it was Tobias they were after. Women and men had been seperated, for their own good apparently. After years of testing, researchers and scientists concluded if they just separated the sexes, they could stop all the hunger and poverty. I think that's the story, at least. Our nation had been divided into Northern Haslica and Southern Haslica. Love was a concept that was unheard of. It was not taught in schools, and nobody in either Northern or Southern Haslica knew of it. I had never known what it was, until I met Tobias.

I was out shopping when I met him. There is a market right on the Haslica line, where women and men can both shop. It's deserted for just that reason, but prices are low because of the low demand. My guardian had sent me to get food for the week, but I was looking to save money. I thought of the Haslica market and headed there without telling my guardian. Tobias lived in a village quite close to the market, and normally got his food from there. I approached the first market stand, and saw him standing in front of me. I had never seen a boy before, not many women had. I suddenly felt sick, like butterflies were trying to emerge from my stomach. I wished to say hello to the boy, but I thought it would be frowned upon. I looked at my surroundings, and saw not another person in sight. I tapped him on the shoulder. He jumped up, startled, and just stared at me. "Uhmm... hi there.." He said. We both stood there, awkwardly, waiting for something to happen. "Uh... hi!" I replied, hoping to break the ice. The boy finished paying for his food, and stepped aside to make room for me. I started to feel sicker, but I didn't know the cause. I purchased the items on the list I had been given, and the boy walked back over to me. “So, umm, what’s your name?” the boy asked me.

“M..my name’s Amanda.” I replied

“Oh, that’s a nice name…” We stood there in silence for a few minutes

“So, uhm, what’s your name then?” I asked awkwardly.

“My name’s Tobias… bet you’ve never heard that name before.” He was right, I had never heard that name before. He had most likely never heard mine, either.

“Hey uhh, could we move to a more secluded area?” He asked. I wasn’t sure why I followed him, but I did. He lead me through a deserted railroad track to a small, secluded cave. There didn’t seem to be another person for miles. It suddenly occurred to me that this was the first, and most likely the last time I has been north of the Haslica line. Tobias sat on a small indent in the cave. “So, uhm, what is it?” I asked. This was the first time I saw a full view of Tobias. He had dusty green eyes, and deep brown hair dusted with dirt. He was wearing a short-sleeved grey shirt with ripped black jeans. His arms and ankles were littered with cuts and scars, most likely from running through harsh environments. It suddenly occurred to me that I was staring, and I whipped my head towards the wall of the cave. I felt heat beginning to rise to my cheeks and felt awkward again. He started speaking again. “How do you feel about the current state of the nation?” That was an odd question. Now that I thought of it, I don’t know what I think about that question. I guess I’ve just never need to think of it before. It really was a strange question, but I decided to give it my best shot. “Well… umm, I guess I’ve never needed to think about that before. I don’t like being separated from half of the population. That’s all I really know about the current state of the nation, I guess.”

“Why don’t you follow me.” He said, getting up from his corner. I thought I’d follow him, what could be the harm? He walked over to the other side of the wall and pressed a brick. Odd. The wall started to shake and cracked down the middle. It looked like the things in fairy tales. He tacitly told me to go through the entrance in the door. I entered the door, and felt a shiver come through my spine. There were cobwebs all over the walls, and the ceiling was caving in. Tobias didn’t seem to be spooked, he had clearly been here many times. He walked in front of me, and led me down a stone staircase. At the bottom of the staircase, there was a room quite similar to the corridors. There were people inside this room too, seeming to be both male and female. It was the strangest thing I’d ever seen. I could have probably put the pieces of this puzzle together right then. “Who’s the new one?” A girl asked Tobias. I had seen her before, I think her name was Abigail. She was the rebel from my town, always getting in trouble with the law, never respected by the other citizens. I started putting the pieces of the story together. Tobias met me on the Haslica market, a place known for rebels. He brought me to a more secluded place to talk, and asked about the state of the nation. It all made sense now, Abigail, the rebel from our town, and I noticed a man I knew I had seen before. Not in a good way. He was the man who’s face was all over the poles on the streets, one of the most wanted rebels. I was in a rebel base.

“So, I’m guessing you know where you are by now.” Tobias said.

“Tobias, I asked you, who’s this newbie?” Abigail asked.

“Ah, I met her by the market. She seemed like the type to come with us, just look at her.” How rude of him! I did not look like them, they were filthy. I looked down at myself and noticed my dress covered in dirt, and a few cuts on my lower legs. I did sort of resemble them.

“Ah, you’re still holding your food. Someone must want that food.” Tobias said. He was reading my mind, I needed to return the food to my guardian, or she’d be suspicious.

“Yes, I should get back. I guess I’ll head off now.” I replied, about to climb the stairway.

“Hold up, one of us can take you.” Abigail yelled out at me.

“Well I can’t, and neither can you, Abigail. Our paper faces are littered on the streets. It’ll have to be Tobias.” The man at the back said.

“Alright, we’ll head off. Pick up your bags, we’re leaving.” Tobias said to me. I grabbed my bags in my hands and exited the cave with him.

We walked for a while, through the market and finally came to South of the Haslica line. We got into the more populated part of the city, and received many stares. I acted as if I was not associated with Tobias, I didn’t want my reputation ruined. I don’t know why Tobias came in the first place…

The baby blue sky was slowly burning up, as the sun was setting beside us. We has reached my home, and I told Tobias to hide in the bush next to me. My guardian would freak out if she found him. I knocked on the door, gave her my shopping, and said I was going on a hike. She wasn’t suspicious, I often went out at night and during the day and didn’t return for hours. She opened the door for me, and screamed. “What is it? Is there a bear?” I asked. She started shaking her head and pointed at Tobias. I was scared. “Tobias. Run.” I muttered at Tobias, hoping my guardian didn’t hear. I ran with him, still knowing I will no longer be accepted by my guardian, and the community. Why was I risking my old life just to be with Tobias. It was the feeling of butterflies erupting in my stomach, that’s why I was doing it. I don’t know the word for it, no one does. It shouldn’t exist. Yet I still feel that way. I run off into the crimson sky, knowing I will never return here.

Prompt: A Tragic Breakup
Story:
The wind whistles through my hair as I sit, cross-legged on the mossy floor of the forest. He'll be here soon. The night air is freezing but I barely notice; I'm too excited to feel the cold. The wait seems endless as the seconds slide into minutes agonizingly slowly and I begin to wonder why exactly I agreed to see him here. We could've just gone to my house like usual, or maybe we could've gone to his for once. I desperately want to meet the rest of his family. I'm sure they're every bit as wonderful as he is but I know so little about them.

Footsteps approach from the tree line and I smile. Finally. He appears in the clearing, his face bathed in moonlight and wearing the same black jeans as always. His sandy hair is pushed back by the wind and I feel a goofy smile spread across my face. But something is wrong. The confidence in his steps is missing and for the first time ever, he almost seems nervous. A million different scenarios fly through my mind, but I can't think of one that would cause him to be so unsure of himself. We've spent time with each other almost every day since we met so it's not like he'd be uncomfortable in my presence. This must be something especially serious.

As he approaches me, I stand quickly and throw my arms around him, but he doesn't reciprocate the hug with the same enthusiasm. "Are you okay?" I ask.

He ignores the question entirely. "Thank you for meeting me here. I'm surprised you found it okay."

It's true that we've only been here once, but I didn't have any trouble remembering the way. "Yeah, no worries. It's kind of late though, what's going on?"

"I'm sorry, I just needed to talk to you," he replies.

Oh God, this sounds like the start of a breakup speech. "You're scaring me," I whisper.

"I'm sorry," he says again.

"Hey, whatever this is, we can get through it together."

He shakes his head and looks directly at me as several strands of his hair fall forward onto his forehead. His dark eyes are misty, clouded with doubt and lacking the mischievous sparkle that I've come to know so well. "This is so much harder than I thought it would be..." He sighs.

"Just... tell me everything. Please?" My voice shakes as I beg him to just explain and I'm amazed that he manages to hear me over the wind. It keeps picking up speed, making it harder and harder to communicate. I reach forward to try and take his hand, but he pulls away sharply.

"Don't!" He snaps before taking a deep breath. "Don't touch me."

I blink at him in complete shock. This is not the boy I know. His voice seems to be quaking just as much as mine. He seems almost... scared.

"Aria, before I explain anything, you need to understand that this last month or so has been amazing. When I got here I never imagined that I'd fall so hard for you or that you'd make it so difficult to do my job. I never imagined that it would be anything other than easy." He looks down at his black trainers and I see what can only be described as guilt, cross his face. "It's always been easy."

"I don't... I don't understand what you're saying."

Now it's his turn to beg. "Just listen, if I don't do this now then I don't know if I'll ever be able to."

"Then don't. Whatever it is, just don't." I step closer.

He shakes his head again. "It's not that simple," he whispers, reaching forward to truck a strand of auburn hair behind my ear. "And I tried to put it off, I really did. But that just made it so much worse because now I've gotten to know you and here we are. This might just be the worst decision I'll ever make, but I have to do it. Aria, I love you and I wouldn't change the time we spent together for anything... but you're too dangerous. This is my job and I can't let you go."

I watch as he reaches behind his back to retrieve an object tucked into his waistband. In an instant, I understand. My stomach drops and I'm suddenly all too aware of the cold night air. It seems so obvious now. When I was younger I was warned of assassins coming after me and my power, but I never imagined that it would be him.

"No..." The single word emerges as little more than a whisper. My mouth is too dry and I'm desperately trying to prevent myself from crying.

"I'm sorry," he says again but there's no meaning in the words. It's an empty gesture. A last attempt to justify the real reason he came into my life.

I suddenly feel cold metal against my stomach. Time seems to slow down, and he makes eye contact once more. Knowing what's about to happen, I can't hold his gaze. I close my eyes and a tear spills onto my cheek.

How stupidly tragic that the boy I'm destined to fall for is the one person destined to kill me.

Prompt: World where no love exists but two people fall in love
Story: BTW I RECOMMEND YOU LISTEN TO COUNTERATTACK FROM XENOBLADE CHRONICLES 2 FROM A CERTAIN PARAGRAPH (ill warn you at the beginning of it)
It's not as if love doesn't exist, it does. Sadly, it is forbidden. Conflict and war thrive from shattered relationships and jealousy is like an all-you-can-eat for depression and sadness. And oh, yes, people have tried, very hard, in fact. People sold their blood, sweat and tears to the cause to bring love back from the darkness but to no avail, to the point where everybody gave up, yet many people kept going. When those people had eventually past on, parents had already begun teaching offspring to despise love. Everything else mattered, but love was below every living being,

"And so that is why-" The man on the static-sounding television continued, "...This year's love execution festival will be ten times the willpower than any before!" After slamming his palm down on his desk, muffled cheers could be heard, and sitting just what seemed no more than 1 foot away from the smartly dressed man, but separated by a screen and static, was a girl - short, hazel brown hair with bottled-green eyes, (and though her clothes seemed rather mucky, dirty, or ripped in the sleeves and trousers that were not meant to be there for fashion purposes) she seemed to not take care of her hygiene on terms of washing - either that, or she could not afford a shower, bath, or any sort of water source to keep her clean. And amongst the static on the television, you could just about hear her flat, toned voice express these words; "he says that every year."

Living in an abandoned attic and living off of scraps isn't the best thing, but for a young girl by herself at 14 it's mesmerising, and extremely lucky for her to have lived to Such an age. It was only a few years ago that artificial human eggs were made so that the love-banning rules still applied for things such as procreating, and little Aries was one of the first to be born from those eggs. But the first prototypes have their faults, and it plagued Aries with short hair that grew at an unbelievably slow pace past the length it was now, and grew extremely fast if it were to be cut any shorter than it is now - one it would get back to this length, however, it would slow down again. Furthermore, it gave her a shorter lifespan. But sadly there are thing that even science can't specify a date or time for, so Aries doesn't know how long she has.

Clambering across the gritty rooftops never helped her case either. Bakery, Restaurant, Grocery market, Smithery, each time she stepped on a roof a brick would tumble off the roof, but never hit someone (luckily). There have been multiple times Aries has nearly fell off the roof, but she manages to recollect herself back on the bricks. That hardly happens now though.

The gates close in the evening making a perfect window of opportunity; scavenging in pure daylight is a huge burden off of Aries' shoulders, as it lets her have a better range of view since sometimes she can't see in the dark.


Lets cut to the chase; that's all you need to know about Aries. Now, let's switch to Hemlock.

Hemlock is a pure, human-bred human who can summon the power of fire to his aid. He has orange-red wavy hair like a flame and usually wears things like tank tops and shorts, today he was wearing a full-on black hoodie and baggy trousers which is completely unusual and uncanny to the eye. Especially in a modern city like this one.

'Uprising battalion 1' Hemlock scraped away some sandy dust from the pavement. Strutting over to the nearest handlebar on a stairway and grabbing it, he clasped his palm around it and began melting the steel. Though if I told you what he did next you wouldn't completely believe me. He snapped the bar into many pieces and suspended them in midair with his powers. He sat on the step, deafeningly silent, and scrunched his fist and placed his left palm on top.

One by one he shot the steel pellets into windows nearby while popping his hand off his fist, creating a noise similar to a gunshot. Soon enough, the entire street had fled. Knowing the authorities will be there quicker than he could snap and melt another handlebar, he scuttled under the scratched manhole cover into his barracks, and taking down his hood he sat on the wooden and metal bench, secured by duct tape, and waited with the other ruffians until their General appeared and all of the rebels rose to attention.

"Today the entire rebellion is coming together as one to march upon the imperial building and progress through its courtyard to the government building where we stage our protest by attack. Do any of you oppose?" Nobody moved, frankly, nobody breathed. The general's scars seemed to reflect in your eyes as they were scattered all over his face and muscle-layered arms. Hemlock sniffed. "Good. Now, Shea, your group composes of Ox, Len and Ian, like usual. Hem you can take charge of to your own group too, you can go with Kai, Zed and Rain. Sun you can take charge of Ned, Maw and Scrat. They need their discipline. Finally, Fleur, you take Bion, Cedric and Ig, that should be about it. You all take the east. Get there by sewers. That is all, you are dismissed - all of you be prepared for anything. Your freedom and lives are on the line... And, good luck"

The imperial building is a shabby old monument a kilometer out of town, but a lot of tourism takes place there. Break-ins are regular as it houses valuables, but Hemlock and his fellow rebels wanted something that was a million times better than the money any crown or jewel could earn them: they wanted freedom, freedom to love another without any criticism or a life sentence behind bars. Nothing could stop them. They were nearly there! That building was the polished glass case, and inside it was their freedom. All they needed to do was storm their security and push into the building by force.

(Start playing CounterAttack from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 now)
"GO, GO, GO!" Yelled the commander, and off they went, the their hoods and masks up over their mouths they ran, Hemlock's team was headed through the Museum and towards the courtyard, but before Hemlock could authorise his group to do a certain strategy, Kai had already elbowed a window and shattered it. Rain had ran in and cast a rainstorm spell and started dampening the entire room and its carpet especially. Zed jumped in the window and shouted out to Hemlock who was making his move trying to burn down the door,
"Intruder!" Zed let out, as he was elbowed in the jaw and kicked in the abdomen.
"STEADY ON!" Rain could be heard yelling as she grabbed the officer's ankle, but being flung to the side by a kick and a forceful push. Kai had stopped helping Hemlock with the door and had grabbed the intruder's hood and pulled it, flinging them on the floor. Hemlock ran over to see Rain and Zed simply lying on the floor. (STOP PLAYING MUSIC)

"Oh my god. The one opening we get, and there's a scavenger in here!?" Kai's brow was soaked with sweat as Hemlock looked on in dismay,
"Crap! We have to do something with her-" Hemlock pulled down the intruder's hood. "Tell me your name, girl, now. This is serious."
The girl pulled down her bandana and pulled a face of utter anger.
"Aries. You? You dare say something sarcastic and I'll rip that rebel face off."
"Hemlock," Hemlock dismissed Aries who was still suspended by Kai's steel arm. "She's with us. No questions. It's all we can do for now. Kai, actually could you stay here with Zed and Rain? They will need protecting. She's with me."

(RESTART MUSIC)
Hemlock grabbed Aries by the collar and swung her on her feet. He bashed through the singer doorway and submerged his right arm in flame, his left keeping hold of Aries, yet every time Aries struggled Hemlock swung his arm back around at her to keep her hostage. Guardsmen from everywhere- Right, punch up in the jaw, right again, free-kick to the knee; they blitzed through th4 courtyard to the main building until Aries slapped him straight across the neck. His eyes surged with flame; he he pinned Aries up on the wall.
"You're a scavenger! Does the idea of freedom not put butterflies in your stomach!?"
Aries paused.
"Freedom!? Is that what this is about!?" Aries' pupils shrunk at Hemlock's piercing stare.
"It is. Now - if you seriously deny any type of freedom then you are a fool! You're with me if you want freedom. We can fight it together. If not you'll serve well as a hostage- choose,"
Aries' eyes welled. Nothing was going to be worse for her state than being a mucky, filthy scavenger for the rest of her life - seen as a ruffian who rolled in dirt and spare nuts and bolts? It isn't what she wants.
"Fi-- Fine!" She let out, closing her eyes to hide the overflowing, reddened eyes beneath her eyelids.
"That's good. You're dressed for the part. If any of the other rebels see you and shout for you to surrender, you say you're with Hemlock. Got it?"
Aries nodded.


Among the mist, a sea is stretching past
"Aries, you stay with me. Watch my back,"
Reaches out so far
"I will!"
Beyond what I can see
"GET DOWN! ALL OF YOU!"
How far would I be walking until I reach the end
"Hemlock, switch out!"
The end of the path is to be seen
"How far until we reach the hall!?"
I would keep thinking
"This is tiring.."
Questioning to myself
"Aries, any guards your way?"
Why do I have to walk this path, oh why
"Dammit! Where's the other battalions!?"
I can't seem to find the real meaning to this
"Hemlock which way is it!?"
Path that I take fare to accept and my goal seems
"There's another group of guards!"

So far away
"HEMLOCK!"

So tell me why I'm here and what's the reason
"Let go of him!"
I am here today
"Aries, find the hall, now!"
If I recall, it was you
"I don't know where it is!"
You wished that I would stay
"NEITHER DO I!"
No matter how much wind will blow against me
"Duck!"
I will keep on (I will)
"..that's one way to do it..." *pants* "Th-Thanks"
I will keep moving on
"Let's keep moving."
To find the answer too
"We've been here. Turn right this time!"
I'm lost in search for you
"The other groups are at the door now!"

When you stop and look ahead
"Wait for me!"
And face up to the blue above
"These doors..."
The Jacob's ladder will
"Here! I'll burn it to a crisp..!"
Come down and check me up
"We're up here!"
If I could climb up to the top
"GET ON THE GROUND NOW!"
Would you be waiting at the top
"There's so many..."
Will it mean (will this mean)
"Dammit.. Door, come on.."
I search no more
"WE'RE UP HERE, NOVA!"

I'll try and reach for the ladder that's there
"The door's bust!"
Far in the distance I hear the voices
"We'll climb round the rim through the windows!"
Was this what I expected
"There's more guards coming!"
I don't even know at all
"Crap- Aries get out the window NOW!"
Is this the real me I've longed for
"You won't slip! Don't worry! I've got you."
I wish that was the case
"That's the hall's window!"

I know I'll let go of the ladder that's there
"ARIES! Don't worry! I have you!"
I'll start walking from this point on
"The groups got through the doors!"
I'm not here at all
"Bust the window, now!"
I don't exist here at all
"Get in the hall, Aries, Now!"
I gotta search for me
"Oh my god, Hemlock get down!"
I wish I would find myself soon
"Hemlock, come on! Get up!"
I need to find myself
"The other groups are still fighting the guards... Get up!"
Myself
"Hemlock.. Get up, please!"


"Hey.
Sleepy head.
Guess what we got you for when you wake up?

A seat in the hall.
Ok, ok. I'm only joking!

But really.
You got shot, I hesitated when I saw the guns.
I'm sorry.
But we got you a little something.
A ticket to the imperial house.
It might need a little touch up though after you wrecked it.
Ok, really -
While you were sleeping the other battalions battled on and won our freedom.
You missed it, too.
Well, I'll be waiting for you to wake up.
Don't rush yourself though.
Enjoy your nap!"

Prompt: Tragic breakup..
Story:
Cold McNuggets

Late night Miami, in a dimly lit Mcdonalds, she’s sits there, her thoughts playing with loneliness, eyes glued to the clock. Only 20 minutes left, she whispers to herself, each tick becoming more painful.

Tick… tick… tick…

The breeze is cool outside, the moon rising slowly. The refrigerator sighs, the deep fryer sizzles, the drink cooler quietly screams, like a low whistle. But the clock keeps ticking, and her eyes remain dormant, settled on the clocks hands.

Suddenly the silence shatters like glass, the roaring of an engine drawing closer. The distant silhouette of a car grows larger as it paints the horizon. The car pulls into the Mcdonalds car park, the engine silences, and the lights turn off.

There he is…

The car door slowly opens, a million thoughts rush through her mind. Time seems like it’s in slow motion, seconds seem like hours, moments feel like minutes. His leather boot hits the floor, followed by his second. He slowly climbs out of his fiat 500.

Wow… it was like seeing him again for the first time. His head glistening, and shaded glasses sparkling, like stars in the moonlight. While his abs protruded through his skin-tight tuxedo.

He walks in. The bell above the door rings, echoing throughout the restaurant.

“Moonman!” she exclaims, “It’s been so long, my love! Where have you been?”

“I’ve been thinking about our relationship, Ronald Mcdonald” he replies, in a low, harsh voice.

“what… don’t you like our relationship?! Don’t you like my Mcnuggets?!” she screams, as tears trickle down her eyelids.

“your McNuggets, are getting cold” he answers, slowly swivelling and exiting the building. She, sat their. Arms burying her moist cheekbones.

Drip… Drip… So moist.

Then suddenly, a pack of teens rode up to the McDonalds. They were just a couple of guys, up to no good. They started making trouble in her neighbourhood. She got in one little fight, and her mum got scared. She told her, “Your’re movin’ with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air.”

Prompt: love at first sight
Love is a 4 letter word meaning an attraction towards another person. Love is all around if it’s to a family or to a special someone, but love isn’t always what it seems.



Once lived a fair young girl, she wasn’t the most attractive, but she wasn’t ugly. Those around her either loved or hated her. She didn’t like herself, many knew and didn’t care. One day a boy came up to her and said, hey girl want to be my valentine? The girl fell in love, but felt it was a joke so she said “no thank you”. The boy walked away heart broken.


The girl went to her classes and went home and cried. Sobbing she said “ Why do boys do that.” She spent another valentine's day alone eating ice cream. She thinks about how all the girls and boys in her school kiss and think about how cute the boy was and how she just wanted to hug him and say yes, but she was scared it was all a joke so she didn’t.


The boy went home, upset but not as down seeming. He goes to his older brother. “How’d it go lil bro” said the old brother. The boy sighs. “Did she say ‘No’“ asked the older brother. The boy nodded. “Listen Aden”, said the older brother, “girls are complicated things, don’t let it get to you.” Aden nodded.


The girl had fell in love with Aden back when he moved here in the 5th grade, but she kept it on the inside. She sat alone in her room wishing said yes, but feared if she had at the same time. The girls parents get home. “Maya get out here!” Said her mother. Maya slowly got out of her bed, hiding her ice cream and the tears. “Happy Valentine’s day sweetie!” Her parents said giving her some chocolate. “Thanks.” She said trying to smile. She decided to go back to her room. She wishes that the day could be over so she could forget about it, but Aden was still on her mind. She grabbed her phone and thought about texting him.


Aden’s phone buzzes. He sees it’s from Maya and throws it off his bed. Maya had been Aden’s best friend from the 5th grade on, she was so nice to him when he moved here, maybe she just didn’t like him as much as he liked her, it happens? Aden grabbed his laptop and started to play games, he played games till 7pm and then checked his phone.


Maya texted Aden “Hi” hoping he would respond, he didn’t respond. Crushed and unsure what to do she went to her bed and cried eating the ice cream she took from the freezer. “Why don't you love me” she sobbed. All of sudden her phone dinged.


He saw that Maya sent him “Hi.” He sent “hey” back to her. They got into an entire conversation and they decided to meet at the park.


Maya grabbed her phone heart broken and saw it was from Aden. She asked “do you real like me?” Aden answered “Yes”. She had to make sure so she texted him “What about Julia?” “i don't like her, I like you …” Maya's heart was fixed and she asked “will you meet me at the park?” Aden said “yes”.


The 2 met and had a great time playing around. At the end they kissed and hugged.

14/2/2018


My name is Maedhbh. I know my name looks severely confusing, yet it's simplicity is commonly overlooked. It's just 'Maeve' with an Irish spelling. Anyway, that's irrelevant to my story.
My story takes place in 1978. The year I lost her. I was an Irish teenager, who had no idea what she was getting herself into. I was young, stupid and naive. I didn't think humans were capable of the damage done.
Of course I was a rebellious 16 year old, who did not care for 'humanity's' rules, I cut my own hair, horribly, into short pixie cuts, that just ended up looking 'emo' due to my black head of hair, and lack of ability to even cut my own hair efficiently.
I had it in my head, that I'd have all the guys kneeling before me, begging to take me out. Fortunately for my 16 year old self, I was crowded. I'm not even sure why. I feel it was pity, maybe respect. Either way, many men were attracted to me, regardless of my horrific look. I received many complements and praise from men. Yet I felt unsatisfied. I didn't have any attractions to any of the men who chased for my heart. I felt I wasn't enough.
I'd look at the other girls, they seemed genuinely happy without the attention, they seemed complete. I found myself looking the other way often. I had no real friends. People claimed the role, for reasons I didn't think about back then. As I said, I was naive, rebellious. I didn't care too much.
I wish I had.
Then she would still be here.


Maedhbh 1978


I sat quietly, my legs folded up on my bed, my eyes drooping, from the lack of sleep I've acquired during the past week. Exhaustion creeping upon me, yet I was unable to fall asleep.
I stared at each star, wondering would happiness ever hit me. My heart aching for the answers. I hauled myself up into the attic, to greet my little brother, Tom. He was sound asleep, his snores echoing the slanted, dull, room. I wrapped my hands around him, and lay there, causing him to shift closer too me. I smiled, as my eyes finally shut.
I awoke to an angry Tom, stomping on the bed. "Maedhbh!" He whined. I rubbed my eyes roughly and sat up straight. "I'm sorry Tom." I yawned, my words mashing together, creating a strange noise between words. Tom huffed, and stamped his feet against each step, frustratedly. I let out a small sigh, and then begun laughing. "Idiot."
"Maedhbh we're going to church today, and you're bringing your lazy butt with us." My mother scoffed as she entered the kitchen. "And I owe you this presence, because?" I said, mockingly. "Excuse me young lady, there will be none of that, in my home." My mother said, angrily. I imagined steam blurting out of each ear, deciding to keep it cool, and go along with it, before she whacked me with a belt. "Of course mother." I said smiling, though my smile was a clear sham. Fortunately for me, mother was blind enough not to notice. I'm a little angel after all.


The service was boring, I'd prefer to go to a service about the Greek religion, all of their gods are definitely captivating, especially compared to our tedious one god, who is completely insipid.
Mother says to keep those opinions to myself, specifically in school, but honestly, it's so monotonous, it's hard not to. All of my friends agree with me. Well, I wouldn't really call them friends, more like acquaintances. Maybe even slaves, seen as they do everything I say, as if they're scared of me. Who am I to complain.
Mother dropped me right off at the gates of hell, or well, the academy, where some girl I've never seen before startled me, she had long black hair, and her eyes shimmered an exquisite green, her skin was tanned and her face was dotted delicately with a quintessential pattern of freckles. She was exemplary. She let out a magically soft voice as she spoke, her voice quite high and perky, yet delicate. "Hello, my name is Jane, I'm actually quite new here, and I couldn't help but wonder if you knew, how to get too the office? I tried looking for someone at the reception, yet it was quite empty." She giggled a bit, nervously. I let out a genuine smile, and nodded. I was in a shock and was unable to speak, she had startled me, I was astonished. She was gorgeous.
I led her quietly towards the office, my heart pounding, I couldn't understand this feeling within me, it was unusual, I didn't even know this girl, humans aren't even supposed to have these feelings for the same sex. It's strange, it's unusual, it's bewildering.
"Thank you.." she paused, and made direct eye contact with me. I stared back blankly, and suddenly blurred out of realization, "Maedhbh!" She laughed seductively, causing me to almost have a heart attack. "Thank you, Maedhbh. I'd hope to see you around." Jane smiled at me and touched my hand gracefully, sliding away into the office. I smiled like a doofus, as she left, and skipped joyously towards my first class.
I scanned halls, classrooms, praying within to find Jane again, my heart calling me, begging for her. My eyes were disappointed each time, I came upon a girl, who was not Jane. "Maedhbh!" I heard a thick voice say, feeling two warm hands wrapping around my waist. I turned around to see my friend, "Steve." I smiled. Giving him a small hug, though it was awkward. "Who was that girl from this morning?" He whispered into my ear, trying to nibble on my outer-lobe. I pushed him off immediately. "Jane." I said sternly. He chuckled slightly. "Jane O'Brien? Didn't look like her." He said, licking his lips strangely. I shook my head, "She's new, I don't expect you too know her." I huffed. Suddenly he turned me to the wall, and said whispering, his voice tingling every part of my stiff body, "Why don't you confess your sins." I stared, wide eyed and confused, as he decided to then kiss me. "Am I interrupting anything?" I heard a soft and familiar voice. "J-Jane." I smiled, pushing Steve away harshly. "Of course not." Steve smiled, reaching his hand down, slightly past my waist. I sighed uncomfortably. "Who's this." Jane asked me, her face fixed on him angrily. "This is Steve." I sighed. "Are you two.." she paused, her eyes displaying disgust. I said angrily then, "No." as Steve replied with "Yes." I glared at Steve, almost slapping him. "Steve, you can go now." I hissed, my tone rising as if to say something much worse. He started in disgust, and muttered a horrific word beneath his breath. "I'm sorry Jane." I said awkwardly. Jane smiled, once Steve was out of view. "It's fine." She laughed. "God He was awful..." I said, my cheeks heating up.
I decided to walk with Jane to her home, slightly puzzled at the direction taken. We had entered a ditch, nearby the school, we trailed along a covered path, until a house finally came into view. The house was small, and had a beautiful thatched roof, with a rough stone wall. "My parents aren't home, would you like to come in for some tea." Jane asked, her face morphing into a smirk. I smiled, nervously. "Don't worry I'm not going to kill you." Jane joked. I laughed, "you better not!"
Her house was warm and quite big. Her kitchen was homely, and I felt comfortable. We chartered closely for ages, growing closer.
The sun slowly begun setting, and I decided to leave for home, already expecting a whack, for being severely late. "Wait." Jane said, as I approached the door, I turned as she ran over and kissed me passionately. I stood, astonished, pressing my lips back at hers, roughly.
I pulled from her, staring into her luscious green eyes, filled with tears of confusion. I smiled, clashing our lips again, as passionately as the first. Jane parted and smiled, but quickly began to sulk. "What will my Mammy say." She said, worry clouding her voice, causing her to sound hoarse. "They won't know.." I said, gently caressing her chin. She smiled. "I.. love you." I said. She kissed me gently, "I do too..."


The first snow fell day, Tom and I were both ecstatic to see the shimmering white sand upon our land. I couldn't wait to share the moment with Jane. It was our 6 month anniversary today. November 2nd. I was beyond happy. I arrived at the academy beyond early, as my mother was due to be at an 'urgent' business meeting. Tom wandered off, as usual, it felt exactly like the day me and Jane met, except snow covered most of the land. I saw Jane arise from the ditch, looking tired. She looked cold, and soulless, all passion burnt out. She looked up at me, and as her eyes met mine, she lit up. She ran towards me and hugged me, kissing me, without the realization we were somewhere public. I stared startled, "Jane are you okay?" I asked soothingly. Her eyes widened, "I'm so sorry!" She squeaked. I smiled gently, and hugged her, whispering, "Happy anniversary." As I shoved a small necklace into her pocket, which was a gift I had received before. A beautiful gift, which had not suited me, but will definitely suit her. She smiled, hugging me tightly.
We split inside the hallways, my face wearing a goofy grin, as Felicia came up towards me, and threw a piece of paper at me. "What the hell, Felicia?" I said astonished at the act. "Steve wants you to read that." She said nervously. I sighed. "Thank you." I lied my eyes burning, I felt enraged. Steve had kept his distance for a good while, of course he comes back now.
I read the note, which told me to meet him immediately in the hall. I looked up from the note, confused, and ran towards the hall, panicked and in need of finding the information I was to receive from Steve.
Echos from other students praising me to 'slow down' and 'watch it' cluttered my ears, as I approached the hall. I burst in, to see no one. The doors creating a vibration as they swung short.
"So little Maedhbh is also gay?" I heard Steve's thick voice say, as he wrapped his hands violently around me, in an uncomfortable position. I struggled to squeeze out from his grasp, as he tightened his grip. He begun to nibble on my ear lobe, "The little doggy should confess her sins." He smirked. "Stop!" I cried, weakly. "We've a lot of starving people. Maybe something meaty." He laughed nastily, I begun crying, so he would let me go. I understood the words coming from his twisted mouth instantly. In an act of self defense I hit him violently, and felt myself be thrown to the polished wood, which screeched as I slid roughly across it. "It burns!" I cried. "Beg me." He laughed into my face, pressing his lips against mine, grabbing my thigh, so I'd be held in place. I cried as he did so. And turned, to get on my knees. I kneeled in a praying position. "If I confess them, will you let her go." I said, my voice croaking, my tone so desperate it begun to break. He laughed, leaving the hall, as people crowded into, to see me so weak...
I ran out of the school, running as fast I could, dropping myself down the side of the ditch, racing to find Jane. My brain mushed, and confused. If I was right about what Steve was saying...
As I neared Janes house, I saw a box dug up from the ground. As I approached it, I fell down to my knees to see it was the box of promises me and Jane buried together. I look to her house, the window was smashed, the place was destroyed. I ran in, hoping, Jane was hiding within. I only found her father, a tall man, who looked to have been in the army, his face covered in many scars, and blood dripping down his head. "Mister Murphy!" I cried. "Maedhbh?" He said, his voice angry, rising at the sight of me. "This is your fault!" He screamed, shooting me daggers. I begun to cry more "I'm sorry!" I screamed, as I turned, running out, aimlessly, searching.
I smelt burning nearby as I turned to the west, my eyes clouded with smoke as I neared the flames. I heard screaming, booing. Many people surrounded the fire, laughing, throwing sticks into the circle. As I approached, I caught a peak of the target within.
I dropped to my knees, and screamed into the ground, tears rolling down my face, my heart shattering. Each emotion breaking out of my fragile, weak body. "Jane." I screamed, echoing the plain. People focused on her within the fire. I cried, and begun to scratch myself violently in frustration.
"I failed to protect you... I broke our promise..." I whispered into the ground, tears dripping into the soil.


..."I'm sorry"...


Maedhbh 14/2/2018


I lost Jane in a horrifying way. Human kind was one of the most horrifying things I've witnessed. I'm sorry that I let her down. I loved her.

I just wish, I could've protected her.

I know it's been years since Jane died. But I never moved on from her. I couldn't leave her for someone new. Regardless of the new laws, and the ability to marry the same sex. Jane was my first, and last love. And I'll never let go of what we had.


I love you Jane.
Gonna be honest, I can’t write stories for my life. But it was definitely fun to write this!
I wish good luck to all those participating and I hope you all had as much fun as me, writing your story :)
