The Bet (Just The Way You Are)

The Bet *Tug-Of-War

I watched The Vow yesterday. It was amazing and heart-warming :) Oh, and the MV of Safe and Sound was one of a kind. TS ♥

 The song is Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri. Banner by SkinnyLizzy. Here's a little treat for you. I made this last year (02-14-11)

 Today is Valentine's Day

 People are either lonely or gay

 "I love you" are the words they say

 But if it's not from the heart, there'll be karma to pay

 Yay! I have an entry pass to the LIV5 concert! :D *A Rocket To The Moon, The Ready Set, The Summer Set, A+ Dropouts, Forever the Sickest Kids* I’m so excited to see them! Esp. ARTTM :))

 ENJOY! :)

Chapter 47 Part 1 *Tug-Of-War*

"Skye."

 I can feel the blood draining from my face. I feel cold all of a sudden, like a strong wind rushes to my face. How can I even utter a curse? I swore a year ago that I won’t ever, ever, say his name. Now I broke a promise to myself.

 My worst nightmare is happening in front of me, while I’m awestruck to do anything about it. Every part of me screams that the enemy is here to get me. I’m doomed.

 I stand up from my chair as soon as I can control the muscles of my body. I’m about to walk away unnoticed but of course, faith is not in my favor. So when I’m about to sidestepped him, he blocked my path. He’s not even contented with that because the next thing I know, I’m in his arms, wrapped in his embrace.

 Tears are stinging at the back of my eyes as his hands rest on my waist. Oh, he’s still the same as before. And now I’m about to fall back in his trap for the second time.

 At that, my subconscious takes me back to what happened a year ago. The last day I saw him.

“Images burn in the back of my mind - you kissing her and doing God knows what with her! Don’t you know how much that hurts me?”  A lump is stuck in my throat, making it hard for me to breathe, but still, I continue. “You know what hurts more? You didn’t care about me, about my feelings, about us. You are a selfish bastard! You even did it in the school where all the students watched your little parade!”

Skye seems at a loss of words because of my outburst. Poor me, trusting willingly. I should have known. I should have known. Why? Why does it always have to be me? Why does it have to end like this?

Happiness will come, but when it departs, it will leave you nothing to hold on to- an anchor that will help you to survive this kind of nightmare.

He’s my first love. I gave my first kiss to him. I told him everything about me. And now here he is, crushing my hopes and dreams. He changed my life and now I’m lost. Lost in the little fantasy I created for both of us.

Life, unfortunately, doesn’t care about what we want. Fairy tales are not true. They were never real.

This will be the last time I will fall in love. My heart will be frozen and no one can make the cold go away. I’d rather be alone than to feel this heartache again.

“I’m sorry,” he starts, looking at me pleadingly.

“No, you’re not,” I cut him off, “Because if you are, you wouldn’t do that in the first place.”
