Sometimes we feel alone even in the crowd. Daniel stared at the girl before him. She was unconsciously lying on the infantry bed. Her face was pale as if every drop of her blood was drawn out of her petite body. Daniel blamed himself for her condition. He shouldn't have lost control of himself in front of her. She was genuinely scared. " Don't worry she will be alright, young man " The infantry teacher parted his back. " She is just in shock " Daniel nodded. He knew she lost consciousness because she was scared and shocked. Pearl struggled to open her eyes but she couldn't. " Pearl.. " I am sorry.. Daniel held her hand. He saw her eyes move and finally she opened her blue eyes. " Pearl! " Daniel helped her sit up. His movement was slow and soft in order to not move the iv wire. " Are you in pain? " Pearl turned her face to look at him. It was the same face which was abusing Lucas just a while ago, but it showed the expression of concern. She looked at his hand which was
I could look at your face for a lifetime without getting bored. The door was pushed open and a petite figure got in. All the eyes in the room turned towards her. Pearl walked inside and stood before them. She looked confident and there was not a single expression of fear or anxiety on her face. " Pearl, you shouldn't be here " Daniel stepped forward and held her hand. " How are you feeling? " Mister Ashbluff looked at his son, shocked. He couldn't believe, his son was showing so much concern and affection towards a woman. It was the first time he saw him like this. Lucas rolled his eyes at them. " I am fine " Pearl smiled. Mister Whitlock looked at the girl before him carefully. She was beautiful and her innocent blue eyes were shining like stars. No wonder his son liked her. Mister Whitlock turned towards his son. He saw him staring at her. " Aren't you going to talk to her? " Lucas glared at him. He was already frustrated. " So, you are Pearl Hart? " Mister Ashbluf
Pearl's eyes met with Daniel's. She froze in her spot. Her brain turned blank. Lucas saw her staring at the door and he followed her eyes and turned towards the door. He found Daniel standing there. His hands were tightly clenched into a fist. His face showed only one expression. The expression of hurt. " Da.. Daniel.. Pearl stood up and moved closer to him. " It's.. It's not what you think " Daniel continued to stare at Lucas. He never once looked at her. He stood there as if he had not seen her at all. " Daniel.. He pushed her hand back which was going to touch him. Pearl looked at him with tears in her eyes. She had no idea what she was thinking earlier. She couldn't have stopped him, but she didn't. " Get a chill pill bro. It's was just a kiss " Lucas smirked. He knew he was getting on his nerves. Daniel grabbed him by his collar and the two of them started punching and kicking each other once again. Pearl held her head in her hand. She could have prevented this all
Even when you are gone I feel you close, you'll always be the one I love the most. Lucas stared at the frame with teary eyes. He missed his mother everyday, but something was different about today. He missed her so much. Maybe because he felt really alone today. It was night time and Lucas finally opened his door. He came down dressed in his t-shirt and pants. " Uncle brown, what's for dinner? " " It's your favourite chicken, young master " Uncle brown smiled. He was very happy today. Lucas seldom returned to this villa and today was one of the few lucky days that he came back. " So, should I order them to bring dinner for you? " Uncle brown rubbed his hand. He was very excited. " I will wait until father arrives " Uncle brown nodded his head. " Yes yes " He was happy that he wanted to eat with his father. Finally the father and son will spend some time together. Lucas sat on the couch and picked up the tv remote. He changed channels after channel. He finally got a movie
“Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean,Tears from the depths of some divine despairRise in the heart, and gather to the eyes,In looking on the happy autumn fields,And thinking of the days that are no more.”― Alfred Lord Tennyson Flashback from nine years ago :- " Daniel, do you know noodles are made up of worms and earthworms " Daniel stopped eating. He looked down at his bowl of noodles with disgust. " Really? " He turned his face towards the boy beside him. " Are they really worms? " Lucas nodded. " Yes " " But they don't taste like them " Daniel was lost in his thoughts. He looked confused. " How do you know how worms taste? "Daniel nodded his head. He was right; he didn't know how they tasted. " You are right. I should not eat them now " Daniel pushed his bowl away. He looked disgusted. " But you know, if you share it with others it will no longer be worms " Daniel's eyes glowed. He looked at him with his innocent eyes. " Luc, let's eat together then "
Sometimes we do certain things which we were sure of not doing. The Alarm kept on ringing on her phone. Pearl stretched her arms and stopped it. She pulled her blanket and woke up from her sleep. She stretched her arms above her head. Pearl picked up her phone to check on the time. Its screen displayed 5 am. She yawned, putting her phone down. She studied till late last night. She pulled herself out of her soft bed and pushed herself towards her bathroom. She entered the bathroom and brushed her teeth. After that she took a warm shower to relax her body. After scrubbing and washing up for some time she finally got out of her bathroom wrapped in a towel. She picked up a clean set of her school uniform. Fifteen minutes later she was dressed in her uniform. She sat down before the dressing table and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She picked up a comb and started brushing her hair. She pulled them up in a ponytail. She took her bag and threw it over her shoulder. After lo
" It’s hard to wait around for something that you know might never happen. But it’s even harder to give up when you know it’s everything you want. " " Let's go to cafeteria " Anastasia grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the classroom. " I am really hungry, you know " Pearl informed. They made their way towards the cafeteria. " Let's sit here " Pearl dragged a chair and sat down. She picked up her fork and dug in. Anastasia sat beside her. " Ladies, can I squeeze in? " Daniel sat besides Pearl. He looked at the girl before him. Pearl pretended she didn't see him staring. She continued eating. " Big brother, did you guys fight? " Anastasia was done with guessing. She wanted to know what was wrong with them. Pearl raised her head to look at her. " Big brother? " Anastasia nodded. " He is my cousin " Pearl looked at Daniel. She saw him nod. " You never told me " Pearl chuckled. She then realised something. " Your last name is the same! " " Yeah " Anastasia chuck
" I love you Pearl… Lucas whispered against her neck. He had no idea when his hatred for her turned into love. How did he fall for her and why? He hated seeing her with someone else. He hated seeing hatred and fear in her eyes for him. He doesn't want her to fear him. He wanted to love her and protect her. " I don't know when I started having feelings for you, but now I have no control over my emotions. " He pulled her closer. He raised his head to look at her. " I am sorry to bully you. I would never do it again. I will protect you at every cost and no one will dare to raise their eyes at you. you will be feared by everyone if you say yes to me " He cupped her cheeks. Pearl looked at him with her empty eyes. She looked at him as if he had lost his mind. " Stop playing around " She tried to push him back. " I am serious " Lucas grabbed her hand which was trying to push him. " I have never been so serious in my life " Pearl looked at him. She was speechless. " Wha.. What
