Is this Love?

Chapter 7

The song for this chapter is Nightingale by Demi Lovato (listen to it whilst reading the chapter) and I chose it because it is such a sad song and it fits perfectly with this chapter. I love Demi Lovato and her songs are just soo emotional and perfect.

It was 02:00am and I was still awake. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't fall asleep. Thoughts that someone heard me scream, haunted me. I shook my head trying to get rid of the thoughts. It was getting too hot here. I headed toward's the window and opened it.

The full moon was shining so bright almost as if it was guarding Syria. It reminded me of the times when I was little my dad and i would cuddle up watching the moon. He would always tell me stories of us flying to the moon, for an adventure.

Tears swelled in my eyes and I tried to blink them away. I missed him so much. The song that reminded me of him came to my mind.

Can you be my nightingale?

Sing to me

I know you're there

You could be my sanity

Bring me peace

Sing me to sleep

Say you'll be my nightingale

Tears where flooding my eye's, as i recalled the beautiful memories

I woke up, feeling extremely cold. I felt as if i lacked the boost of energy that i so desperately needed. I headed toward the bathroom and stared at the reflection in the mirror. My eyes looked pained and i looked like a walking ghost.

After I cleaned myself up, I headed downstairs for breakfast, i was extremely hungry, so i practically speed walked to the dining room. everyone was engaged in chatter with there friends. Becky was sitting at the far end of the table talking to a classmate Nia. Once i reached her she gave me a bright smile

"The princess finally awakes from her beauty sleep", i rolled my eyes and gave her a small smile

" I'm sure i would've been awake earlier, but your snoring kept me awake till late" i said, as she stuck her tongue out at me

I dug into my breakfast, starving from last night. But the food didn't put a dent in my hunger. It was only toast and porridge. Soon Mrs Trott and Yusuf came in, all dressed and ready to go.

"Right class, today Yusuf will show you around, to show how the war has effected the city and its people, also you will be helping clean up, so hurry and get dressed. You have 5 minutes" Said Mrs Trott.

A chorus of loud groans and "That's not fair" filled the room. I sighed, getting up and heading towards my room. After me and Becky got changed into suitable clothing, we headed downstairs, lining up with the rest of the class

As we walked past one of the bedrooms, I could hear loud whispering. It almost seemed as the girl was crying

"I'm sorry baby. I love you so much, please don't give up on me" the girl begged. I glanced over to Becky confused, but she gave me a shrug, just as confused as me. We continued eavesdropping like the rebels we were. 

"Look, Lex. I don't love you, never did or never will. Simple as that" The boy said. Suddenly, the door flung open revealing Carter standing there.

Holy cheescake! I thought. Were busted. Carter glared at us, a thunderstorm in his eyes. I glanced behind him and Lexi was sitting on his bed crying. Wow, I thought. Evil witches cry too, who would have thought?
