Creative Writing: The Cold War

“Thanks Mom” I said then rolled my eyes, good thing mom didn’t see that. I wish sometimes to be alone or just with Sasha. I ate my waffles in complete silence. Sometimes I think mom and dad want their old little girl back, but as I tell them their little girl is gone and will forever be gone. I finished my last bite, washed my plate, and left the apartment to see a familiar face. Lucas. How did he get my address? How he been stalking me? He better be passing by and not know where he is at otherwise I swear I will kick him in the….. Okay slow down Riles, figure out what he wants

Ashton was visiting for a weekend, it was only him. Calum had to stay back and look for Michael, as he had ran off again. I hugged Ashton and looked at him. Ashton got in my car and smiled. I hugged him tightly. “It’s been too long!” I yell and he laugs. “I like the hair, you changed it up a bit since the last time I saw you.” He greeted me, I smiled and shook my hair. I had dyed it blonde and brown. I decided I need a change. “How’s Tate?” Ashton looked at me while I was driving. “He’s on edge because of the baby, but he’s good. Brooklyn?” I smiled and he chuckled. “She’s 4 months,” It was all he needed to say. “You guys are having another fucking baby! Oh my gosh!” I squealed as my car came to a stop. Ashton blushed and felt my stomach. I felt her kicking. “Do you know yet?” He asked and I

“Oh I see where we took a wrong turn,” Kelley sighed with relief, “We have to take a right and then go straight all the way to that bridge.” They began walking, all relieved that they found a way out of the sticky situation that they were in. “I see our mom,” Will announced as they walked up towards their mom. Finally they reached Kelley and Will’s mom, “Why do you all look so nervous and sweaty?” Their mom questioned. All four of them laughed, “Just a bit nervous from the rides,” Makayla stuttered with an uneasy look on her face. Kelley and Will’s mom just looked at them and replied with, “Alright well it’s about 3 o’clock now, we have about four to five hours left before we need to leave so when it is 6:30 come and meet me back here and then we can leave.” Kelley nodded in agreement and laughed, “Yes ma'am.” Several hours passed by and it was now time for these four crazy teens to get going, “I’m so glad we found that map,” Kristin stated as her and Will walked out the exit gate. “Me too, I don’t know what we would of done without that map,” he whispered

“Mom, what are you talking about? Don’t you want to come home? Don’t you miss us?” When Logan reached across the table and touched her hand, Veronica heard the little girl in her own voice. “I just don’t understand. Help me understand, why you left- what you’re doing out here? What you’re doing meeting Jake Kane at the the Neptune Grand when you can’t even come see your own daughter or your own husband,” Veronica fought to keep the accusation out of her voice, as Lianne’s hand slapped the lacquer of the bar’s booth table, stunning the three of them into silence.

“Your thinking I will help you escape. I won’t.” The man said. Smirking deviously at (Y/n)’s crestfallen face.

James too had begun to feel tiny, reoccurring stabbing sensations in the tips of his left fingers and one on his right; those that he'd penetrated into the black eyes of the demented soldier. The nails were literally falling off of him, like a snake shedding skin; or rather he worried it would reach that precise extent. As he'd feared, the infection had begun to spread, but at any small mercy it was a gradual process. There was still time. Still hope. A crooked, green line ran the full length of his middle finger, but the damage could be repaired. His father's skin was becoming more tainted, violated by the chemicals that he'd created. All of this left his mind as they turned

I finished tying my shoes and followed her out into the kitchen. “By the way the car is waiting outside for you. I better not catch you going anywhere other than school and back okay? You already know how dangerous the city is, and if I find out you have gone anywhere you're gonna be in big trouble.” She was of course talking about the fact most jobs have been replaced by a computer and that People can't compete with something that’s who knows how much faster. We have been lucky. “Yea sure thing, straight there and back” I repeated to show her I understood. I picked up my school bag off the bench. “Be careful” she said as I walked out the

two kids; perhaps a boy with blonde curly hair and green eyes and a girl with dark brunette hair and brown eyes. Of course our marriage would be out of necessity rather than want. I’ve always loved Gus but in a sort of platonic friendship way. We both know things about each other that no one else but our parents know.

“Well, here we are.” he said at last. He had a face of fake happiness. When Yuki approached her house, she felt heartbroken. She saw that her house was one of the worst ones at the camp. The window in the back was broken, the back door was very defective because the door had no lock and the handle was broken off, and the beds were very dirty from all of the dust and sand that spread throughout the camp.

P.s. Let’s be honest, if you survive I will still kill you...but the thought of your burning flesh in a freak gas leak it too much to refuse.”

When we left the small pizza shop she had to get back to class so I walked her back. I could tell she still hadn’t lightened up yet and I wondered if she would email me later and be more responsive. I said goodbye when she walked inside and I ran back to Jacob’s car. I went to the library until his school day ended so that his parents wouldn’t

James began to think about his past, about what helped him get to where he is now. He thought about it all day, but he couldn’t think of a thing. He grabbed his blazer off of the coat rack and closed up shop. Walking down the corridor, James communicated his goodbyes and “See you tomorrow”s before exiting the building. He walked out the door

Logan scrambled to fish his phone out of his pocket. He prayed to see Lexi’s name on the caller ID. He would beg and grovel if he needed to; he needed to get her back. He couldn’t live without her. He looked at the screen and frowned in disappointment. It was just Noah, but maybe he could help. Logan quickly picked up the phone.

“So what’s going on with you and my brother that fight sounded pretty bad” Lexi started as she pulled sheets and a quilt from her closet. Zoey frowned, sitting on the edge of the bed “my parents are getting a divorce and I had to choose between staying with my mom and leaving with my dad” she sighed. Lexi put the sheets down and stared at Zoey, not knowing exactly what to say. Her parents had divorced when she and Zack were in diapers, they didn’t remember much about him. She did the only thing she could think of, she hugged Zoey and told her that she could always crash with

Sitting around the picnic table, Veronica shook her head smiling, noticing that it’d taken all of two hours and a cheeseburger to have Logan, Wallace, and her dad ganged up on her. The introductions had been a little awkward, since they’d already all known Logan’s name, and face. It was weird introducing a celebrity into your childhood home, to the people who were your family. But after the initial awkwardness, things had picked up normally, and Veronica was grateful her family was as incredible as it was. Everyone seemed to be on their best behavior, Back Up even settled on Logan’s feet to lay on, and things were going exceptionally well, until Logan had gone rogue on her, asking about
