“I’m Going To Brooklyn”

When I got home from my jog, Chris was back from band practice and making dinner. “Your mom is bringing Zoe home in half an hour” he said. I sat on a dining room chair and watched him in the kitchen. I couldn’t let this go on any longer. “Chris, I can’t do this.” “Can’tContinue reading ““I’m Going To Brooklyn””

Band Practice – By Chris

The warehouse was stifling hot and Alex flipped on the light with a drumstick.

Oddly, theyContinue reading “Nostalgia – by Astrid”

I’m crying a lot recently, but about Jake, not Meliah. I prefer crying over deserved, ridiculous, unfounded heartache caused by Jake than the utter despair of loosing my older sister. Jake is my distraction and my drug for curing my grief. I can’t let him go just yet. I need this.

Club Jake

(Scroll to the bottom to see the super-cute outfit.) Jake didn’t blow me off. He came up and talked to me at the bar while Lisa was off dancing with her super cute (in the girliest way possible) friend, Bobby. I was drinking a Gin and Tanqueray and Jake was holding a glass of someContinue reading “Club Jake”
