APRIL
"So you think it's a favor?" I paused "So what? Poor April needs a babysitter since she can't get a grip?"
"You know that's not what I mean," Jordan said, his hands on his hips.
"I didn't force you to stay back at home and abandon your work. I don't even want you at home and you know what? I think it's high time I leave this place" I slowly retreated to go back to the bedroom

Chapter 115 years agoAprilMonday is the worst day for me and it's because it's the beginning of the week hence a long transition to Friday- my favorite day into the weekend mostly because i love staying at home. If schooling wasn't a necessity or mandatory, i would totally buy the idea of staying at home for the rest of my life but education is the greatest gift you can give a child.My parents forced that quote into my brain since i was born. They wanted me to be successful, who could blame them.I step into the hallway and something unusual caught my eyes. People staring at me like i am the best thing since sliced bread but then again, i am no sliced bread, in fact, I'm the opposite in the worst way. Overly big glasses, braces, two sectioned cornrows, bright rainbow-colored armless turtleneck sweater, calf-length pleated skirt, and flats aren't exactly a sight to see excep

Chapter 4AprilI quickly wipe my face clean of tears, clearing my throat and then stood up to exchange pleasantries. Because I'm sure he sent me those gifts earlier."Thanks for the gifts" I faked a smileHe didn't ask why I had puffy eyes or why my eyeliner smudged my eyes therefore creating dark circles beneath my lower lashes. He just pulled me close into a hug and I couldn't help what followed next. Tears. Uncontrollable tears.This was the first time since Luke that I leaned on a Masculine shoulder to vent my emotions. I didn't say a word, I just cried as he stroked my back continuously.After what seemed like forever I stopped crying."Thank you" I aimed for the exit feeling awkward.I've never cried before in the presence of someone I didn't know in fact this is the first I've cried with someone in sight.

Chapter 6AprilMy reflection was lying to me.How can i feel so complete yet incomplete?So far I'd been lucky. Got a good job that pays me very well, will soon complete my mortgage payments, have amazing friends, got a car, i am happy.Though sometimes i suffer from all the symptoms of a mid-life crisis, comparing myself to my friends, wondering if I'll ever find more fulfillment in life, i am still happy and contented.Megan was right. I do need the D.I took another glance at myself in the bathroom mirror, carefully looking for where i might start wrinkling out.Are you truly happy? I ask myself."Of course i am," i answered.We both know that's a facade."I'm not talking to you anymore"Gosh, my subconscious self is so daring and nosy.
