I call out to him,
He doesn’t move.
I touch him,
He doesn’t turn.

I walk in front of him,
He sees me but doesn’t really look.
I begin to speak,
He nods at all the wrong places.

Someone else calls him,
He goes to them.
As he leaves I hug him,
He shoves away.

I cry because of him,
He doesn’t seem to care.
I thought I was a friend to him,
He must think differently.

Edward walks into the slightly disarrayed office of his English Professor. He looks around nervously wondering where the professor is. The desk this is situated in the back left corner is not easily discernable from the papers scattered atop it ( Read more... )

You came into my life
And won me over
Now all you cause is strife
Causing me to take cover

For a while we were fine
Able to enjoy the other
I could call you mine
As if you were a brother

Suddenly things changed
You started to pull away
Now we are estranged
I couldn't make you stay

My heart always hurts
Aching for your love
Happiness only comes in spurts
Always ( Read more... )

Jason woke up in the hospital and knew that he had survived. With that knowledge his heart sank. He saw that his mother had shown up, which surprised him. An even bigger shock was seeing his father.

Jason closed his eyes and sighed. The memories began to flow. The first of which took him back five years to the summer ( Read more... )

Noah Mayer steps up to the podium. He scans the sea of faces and feels his nerves go haywire. Then he locks his eyes on a pair of soft brown ones and he finds his strength once more.

Behind Noah is an advertisement for his film, An Unbreakable Bond; his first major success as a director. Noah can’t help imagining how Luke would have looked as he ( Read more... )

Noah opens his eyes and for a few seconds he can still see Luke in the water. Noah grins at the sight of Luke splashing around and daring Noah to join him with his eyes and mischievous grin. Noah walks towards the edge of the pond and takes his plaid blue and white button down shirt off.

“Noah! Don’t!” screams a female voice.

Noah turns around as a ( Read more... )

My Dearest Luke,

I know I haven’t written in a couple of days. That doesn’t mean I don’t care. I care more than you will ever know.  The last few days have been really busy for me at work.

When I’m not at work I am either sleeping or at a therapy session with Dr. Elridge. I know what you are thinking, and no I don’t think I am ( Read more... )

 
Noah knocks on the door to office number 123. After a few, very long, seconds he hears a voice.

“Come in,” a high pitched woman’s voice calls out.

Noah sighs and opens the door. He quietly crosses the office and sits in one of the armchairs. He fiddles with his thumbs, hoping to get this over with as painlessly as possible.

“So Noah, how are things ( Read more... )

My Dearest Luke-

Today was day 15 of waking up without you lying there beside me. I still get that feeling that you are still alive when I first wake up in the morning. Dr. Elridge told me that this feeling is perfectly normal. When I asked her when it goes away she just answered, "Only time will tell". When I finally do realize ( Read more... )

Luke Snyder sighs as he steps into the shower. The nice warm jet stream of water sooths his body. As the water washes over his face, Luke lets the tears fall.

The tears keep flowing with no sign of stopping. Luke had gotten through the funeral ceremony without bawling. This is not to say he didn’t cry, because he had let a few tears fall. However, ( Read more... )
