What would you do if your boyfriend goes to being obsessive , angry and rough overnight from being a kind , loving and sweet personality? How would you adjust to these physical and psychological changes in your lover's life? Would you run away or wo...
A few weeks later, I find myself strolling down the city garden with Delilah in tow. Xander could not show up today as he had some important assignment to submit by tomorrow. It's Friday evening so we do not have any classes tomorrow. We are having our favourite ice creams, Delilah is having chocolate chip and I am having rum raisin.
"Hey look at that."
I arch my eyebrows quizzically and look at where Delilah is pointing. In front of us, there's a poster which says that Haly's Circus is in town. Oh I just love circuses. I remember going to the circuses every year with my dad and brother before he got posted outside Gotham.
"Yes. Let's go. Just you and me, ready to take over Gotham city. "
I link our arms together as we cross the road and hail a taxi. Once we get inside the taxi, I take off my leather jacket as it is stuffy inside. "Where to,Miss?" The taxi driver glances at me shortly and I tell him that we want to go to Haly's Circus. "It'll be 25 dollars." We nod and slid back into our seat, putting our ear pods into our ears and turning on the music in full blast.

The driver informs us that we have reached Haly's Circus. We pay him the money and step out of the taxi instantly feeling the cold winter breeze making us shiver. I instantly slide my hands into my leather jacket and wear it. We look up at the circus. It is really beautiful. "Look, a giant wheel" I follow my gaze to where Delilah is pointing and chuckle playfully.

"Come on, the show's about to start. Let's just buy tickets." I nod and we both make our way to the ticket line,giggling and pointing towards the various people dressed in funny outfits. We buy our tickets and then look at the watch. There is still fifteen minutes for the show to start. We decide to go in and grab the best seats. Holding our popcorns and cold drinks in our hand, we make our way inside the tent and sit in the second row from the front.
"I'm just gonna call Xander and let him know I'm here. He worries." I yell at Delilah over the background noise. She nods and I shove my way through the crowd till I am outside the tent. I slide my phone open and dial Xander's number. He picks up after two rings.
"Hey babe.."
"Xander, how's the assignment coming ?"
"Ugh don't ask. It's bad. I've done half of it. Still half of it to go."
"I know you can crack it . You're my genius. Anyway I was just wondering if you were free, you can come hang out with me and Delilah?"
"I'm sorry love I can't right now. I'm stuffed. Lot of pending work to do."
