"They say life experiences can either make or mar a person. Well for me, it was both. Being broken and repaired, experiencing different emotions, as though I'm an emotional arcade. Life went through me, leaving scars and stars." She chuckled lightly, reminiscing her beloved. "And if you were asked to describe your life in a sentence..." She adjusted slightly on her seat. Fondling with the straps of her black spaghetti top and feigning confidence in her posture, she gave her answer. "I'd describe my life as a bed of roses, only, with so many thorns." "I guess that makes you a scarred beautiful thorned rose." ♧ ♧ ♧ Life is like a game, same as love. One wrong move, and you're done for. Well what wrong move could Sewa have done in this beautiful game of love and life? What wrong move could she have played in her emotional arcade? ♧ ♧ ♧ Started; 7 February 2022

"Who are you?" he smirked, leaning in real close to her face so close his nose almost grazes hers. "I am Evelynn Caya Heyes, that's who. You are Jaxon Shae O'Connor and I am Ethan's baby sister. You can't just keep kissing me." she informs him like he is stupid not knowing that. "I don't think you will keep thinking long on that one." he grins. -------------------------- If you give it a chance, i will assure you, you will love it.

"I can't go there all alone" "No, you won't" Mom replied "we got you a stuffed animal, just in case you feel lonely" "I'm just a child and since when did you both start having business meetings? I thought mom sits at home all day" "That is very rude" She responded "I'm pregnant, you can't say stuff like that to me" "You're not sick but whatever, I don't care. I have things to do, I'm always busy doing stuff" "Like?" "Well" I paused "I have to eat and drink and blink and sleep and use the toilet, you know what? You won't understand" "Those aren't important stuff, sunshine. You're leaving by six sharp. Oh, and we named your new friend Kevin, it's a stuffed frog" "You don't get to make decisions for me. I'm not going to France and that's it" "Look who's acting all grown up" Mom said, throwing me a silly wink. "I was half your age at your age" "What are you even saying?" "You're just spending two days" He added "Or more, it depends" "Yeah, two days of faking perfection" "You do it right baby. Don't worry, you'll get a boyfriend in no time" Mom, once again, piped in and winked "Just learned to wink with this eye" "Come on dad, I can't do this" "Fine, if you do it, I'll get you a room far from our's_" "Deal!" ....
