Last night, when we got in bed, she didn't look at me; she just turned on her side, turned off the lamp beside her and said 'Night'. I remember when she would rest her head on my chest, wrap her arms around my waist and ask me a random question and we would spend all night talking about it. But now, she is the first to fall asleep and I am left with the lingering thoughts and the emptiness eating away at my heart slowly as if it's savouring the taste.
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.

Gambit (Obsessions in Overdrive #2)
Previously known as The Accident --------- She is beautiful. So fucking beautiful. She is a star and I would become an astronomer for her and I would study for the rest of my life and I would bleed, sweat and cry day and night just so I can understand her beauty. I would want the other stars to be jealous of her since no matter how big and bright they shine, she will always be the brightest one illuminating the night sky. She's better than everyone. I constantly think about how she can do so much better and how she deserves to be with someone who will notice everything amazing about her and not just use her. She needs to be with someone who will notice how she laughs. How confident she is. How she talks. The way her smile is different from the rest and the way her eyes glow when you talk about the stars. They should notice how her hair flows and how she can talk all day. She needs to be with me. --------- Contains: Fake-dating College romance --------- Started: 12 October 2021 Ended: 16 January 2023 Editing completion: 12 July 2024 --------- #1 firststory #1 hotel #1 pretty #2 cutegirl #2 teenagers #3 lossComplete

I've seen many pretty girls before in so many different places; Including the light rail, but for some reason tonight, she was just so much lovelier than any other girl I've ever seen. Why am I even getting worked up over her anyways? It's not like I'll ever see her again. Well, that's a perfect excuse to keep looking! I'll never see her again, so why does it matter if I continue to look. Well then, that settles it. I'll continue to look... He was right.
