It was like my heart had stopped beating. Everyone around me cheered and hugged. Deb was jumping up and down with joy, and the girls were crying. I couldn’t move. My brain had forgotten how to make everything work. You did it baby was all that was playing through my mind. You actually did it.
I couldn’t take my eyes off Reece. He was crying, and it took a lot for him to cry. I could tell that he was proud of himself too. He looked at me. I love you so much, he mouthed. I broke down into tears, crashing to the floor. Everything was just too overwhelming for me. Had he really just won The X Factor, or was I dreaming?
It’s a nice feeling when the person you’ve loved and supported for such a long time finally achieve the goal they set out for themselves, when they finally start living their dream. You feel like things are starting to look up.

EXTRACT: She rises and hurries to the backyard door, turning towards me with an amused expression. "Catch me if you can." She challenges me, and I'm always willing to take one on. "Oh it's on." This time I wasn't planning on letting her win. She slid the door open and ran outside onto the green grass. Faith tried to careful to avoid slipping it due to the rain. I dashed there following her. "What are you guys doing?! Are you crazy?!" Allegra yells at us from the deck by the door. "You're so slow!" Faith looks back while running. "Oh just you wait Faith-" I catch up just behind really closing to grabbing hold of her. The rain soaked her brown hair and drenched her clothes but she didn't seem to mind. The appearance of her smile was only enhanced by her wet face. I realize I'm supposed to catch her and grab her, but as soon as I do, we both find ourselves slipping onto the grass. Swish. We rested on the lawn, catching our breath from the chase. Faith hovers over me and restrains me by pressing both of my wrists. In retaliation, I flip her over the same way and secure her. "Good try." I sneer and laugh at her unsuccessful attempt. I leaned over her frame, gazing straight into her deep brown eyes, and I had no intention of removing my gaze from them in the future. I seemed to have caught her off guard and she didn't know how to react. Time slowed down for a moment, it continued to downpour, there was still grass in her hair. And out of nowhere, Faith kissed my cheek. There's no way that just happened. ************ end of extract. I won't say I knew I wouldn't fall in love with him, I knew. The very first instant, from the first glance, from that sense of unfamiliar familiarity, I knew. And I think he did too. I wouldn't say it was love at first sight, rather just a feeling like I had some ties to this person, who knows maybe in a past life. Well anyway, I did, but little did I know that the first time it would ruin me. But the second time, It healed me.

Words We sat on opposite sides of the room, she was asleep. I think he was exhausted, so was I,but we both didn't want to sleep. We couldn't sleep, maybe a bit scared that if we close our eyes then she will be gone. Nathan"I'll ask the nurses if they can organize a bed for you" Me" Am fine here" He didn't argue, for once he didn't try to control the situation. "You can get one for yourself" Nathan" I'll sleep next to her" For the next two days we spent waiting for her to wake up. Each day felt like a huge battle that we were losing, it felt like she was gone and maybe we both knew she was gone but we didn't want to admit it. Days turned into weeks, Nathan and I refused every suggestion the doctors made. Some days they said she was improving, would be taken to surgery then they would discover something new. It just felt like nothing was working, and our options were limited. Me" I can't stay here" He didn't answer me, I grabbed my things and went to the door. "Don't give up" He whispered, I turned around and looked at him. Me"I need to bring her toys here, I need to bring Mr Elephant, she needs her toys here." "I just need..." I bit my bottom lip fighting the tears "I'm sorry for everything" Pulling up in our drive way, my mind took me back to when Nate and I moved in here. The house has changed over the years, we have also grown up in a lot of ways. We were happy, we thought we had it all figured out and it turns out we knew nothing. I also never imagined myself here, in this house with him. Maybe subconsciously I know I don't belong here, maybe I am the reason my daughter is fighting for her life right now. My bad luck, why did I think I could be happy?. I drove back to the hospital and Nate was sleeping, I put the sandwich on the table then Mr Elephant next to Claire. Looking at them, I couldn't help but reminisce about the first time I met Nathan and how we got to this point in our lives. !

"plzz Eric don't do this to him. He is innocent." I begged. "So..." He asked annoyed. "Didn't I tell you to stay away from him? Now bear the consequences!" "Plzz don't...Eric." I requested almost crying. "Okay but only if you kiss me." He demanded. "How could you?" I pushed him angrily. "It's your choice either kiss me in front of everyone or satisfy me in bed in private." He said in my ears. My eyes were pooled with tears. I started to cry. He wiped my tears and pulled my waist towards him. "So what's your decision? Look if you want me to spare him then you have to do this." "This is gross Eric." I looked at him. He was looking so helpless. He was looking at me with pleading eyes. "Don't waste my time. I have to go home also and bro is also having some important meeting so I have to be there on time." He said looking at his watch. I was silent. I don't know what to do. The whole college was there. I don't want anyone to gossip about me. "Plzz Eric everybody is here." "So... I don't care. You should have thought before hanging out with that jerk and it's not like I'm saying you to suck my dick in front of everyone and trust me I don't have any problem with that but knowing you I know what you are capable of... so do as I say or else be ready to satisfy me tonight." He didn't blink once. I know he meant every word he said. I was standing still in his arms. I looked at him. I can't let him suffer because of me. "Okay... I'm done with you. You just wait and watch what I'll do with that jerk of yours." he said frustrated and went to leave. I held his wrist and closer to him. "I hate u... Remember that." With that promise, I sealed the kiss. For some moments I felt love in the kiss but again there was only lust.
