Love
A Stef in the Right Direction: Chapter 2
Stephanie never expected her unassuming, long-distance virtual boyfriend Timothy to just show up unannounced, especially since they had an entire ocean between them. But he was in her city now, whether she was ready for it or not, and she would have to figure out what she really wanted in life… among other things like kissing, flirting, and what not to wear on dates.

My Name
“Stop, please, don’t do this to me,” he said as she threw his heart in the trash. He fell down bursting into tears, he was tired of getting hurt. He stood there on the ground not having anyone to lift his spirits up, he regretted not making friends right there and then. Okami laid there on the ground for at least two hours; finally he got up and walked away like nothing happened. Okami was thrown through so much while growing up so it only took him a few tears to get himself together. He took his bicycle and went home; the whole time he was walking Okami was filled with rage. Even though he was angry he was still sad, he thought she was the one only to be hurt in the end. Okami walked home from the beach side where the break up happened. He walked to his building where he saw John, the door man. There was another door man but he liked John. Even though John was sixty years old, he was easy to talk to and Okami always enjoyed listening to stories of the old man’s past. “Hey what's up old man, how are you doing?” he asked “I’m alive so I can’t complain, Clarke you do look so good,” John said worried about Okami. Okami said nothing and ran up the stairs, he wasn’t in the mood to talk about his feelings.

Endless Love
Lyla was awoken by a shadowy figure looming over her. As she sat up all too quickly, she connected foreheads with Serena, "Ow! What are you doing on top of me?" she demanded. Rubbing the now red spot above her brows she glanced over at her digital clock that sat on her nightstand, and quickly snapped her head back to Serena, "It's six in the morning! What are you doing on top of me at six in the morning?!" Her eyes shifted to the extra pairs of eyes peering into the room; the girls sitting against the way now reanimated to the sound of her arousal.

I can only imagine what her body looked like
I can only imagine what her body looked like. Her eardrums blown out, bleeding across the floor. Her head embedded into the train tracks and her limbs skewed about. And now, she laying across the room in a box too big for her. It’s an open coffin, and her mother won’t step away from it as visitors talk to her and say their last goodbye’s to her. Tears are filling the room, it almost feels like it’s flooding.

A Perfect Day
We were so happy it seemed too good to be true, but then again this was a feeling I always felt when we were together. With our hands wrapped and fingers interlocked we felt as if the universe was revolving around us. My wife Mackenzie was a joyful soul, but today she was especially happy nothing out of the ordinary I mean it is Mackenzie. The sun was shining, and the sky was filled with the most extraordinary clouds, everywhere we went everyone was happy and filled with joy. I look to my wife and say, “Honey you are so happy today I love it!” she waits a few seconds before responding with a smile. “I enjoy every moment I can get with you.” As we are walking through the park, she stops me to sit on the bench and feed the birds, this is one of here favorite things to do it always calms her nerves and make her smile. “Oh my gosh I missed feeding you guys.” As I am watching her feed them, I can’t help but look at her and adore everything about her, the way she talks, how her brunette hair always blows perfectly in the wind, the way her blue eyes sparkle like the ocean when the sun hits it, and the way her skin glows when the sun hits it. She was perfect in my eyes. I look to her and say, “You’re so perfect my love almost like an angel.” She turns to me grabs my hand as we get up to leave and tells me, “That’s because I’m your angel handsome.” I smile and think to myself “she always knows how to make me smile It’s wonderful.” As we went to our favorite bakery, as usual I got the same thing a strawberry tart, and she was stuck looking at every item on the menu. After five minutes of picking, she finally orders a Nutella croissant, man does she love her chocolate. A few moments later we eat right outside, she wants me to try hers of course, so I take a bite of hers as she steals a bite of mine. It was extraordinary, I look at her and say, “Babe this is exquisite!” she then gives me a look and responds, “I never heard you use those words,” we laugh and get up to leave to continue our perfect day. As we are walking, I go to look at my watch and she grabs my arm and tells me with the sweetest tone, “Don’t pay that any attention my love, just focus on me and our day.” I could not help but think about how much she makes my heart melt. As the day goes, we get happier by the minute, not knowing what time it is makes you forget about everything and focus on what important. Mackenzie looks at me and says, “There’s a couple more things I want to do today okay babe?” I look and her with a smile and say, “anything you wish my queen.” She takes me to our favorite restaurant and as we sit down, she looks at me grabs my hand and gives me the biggest smile. We ordered a pizza for the two of us, just like on our first date, we’ve made so many memories through the years, I couldn’t see myself being with anyone else. We sat and talked for a couple of hours about everything imaginable. We reminisced about memories and how we wish we could live through them again, about the first time we met in college. I told her I was just a nerd trying to impress the prettiest girl on campus and she tried to call my bluff, but it was true, she was and still is everything I could of ever want. She shed a tear, looked at me with her big, beautiful smile and tells me she’s ready. So, I pay, and as we walk out the door she says to me, “come on I want to show you something.” We walk to a hill where nobodies around and she tells me, “I want to lay her and just watch the sunset with you. Can we?” I look to her in and in the sweetest tone possible say, “we can lay here all night if that’s what you want my love.” As the sun was setting the sky was a beautiful orange, not as beautiful as her in this moment though, she was stunning. Everything was so perfect it felt as if it wasn’t real, her head on my chest and my arm wrapped around her body. It was so amazing I almost fell asleep, but Mackenzie wouldn’t let me, not until the sun set. Before the sun reached its lowest point, she looks at me and takes her necklace with our name wrapped in infinity and gives it to me. I ask her, “I gave this to you on our one-year wedding anniversary why are you giving it back to me babe?” She looks to me with the sweetest smile and says to me, “I will always love you no matter how far we may be apart, no bridge could stop my love from reaching your amazing heart. Never forget how much I loved you. You can wear this until you are ready to let go of me. I love you so much my handsome boy. Forever and always my love.” And as she lets go of my hand, she disappears into the wind I pass out. When I wake it was still night, I had roses in my hand and her necklace around my neck. When I stood up, I turned only to see her name with a quote written on stone “Never forget how much I loved you my sweet boy, Mackenzie Jones” I place the flowers down and walk away into the night.
