Better late than never. That's what everyone says, an empty line that is supposed to make you feel better, but in reality, it makes you feel worse, and oddly, it makes you wonder. Wonder how having you later rather than now is better than having you now, how having your kisses and love is better later than now. I know that somehow the saying is a comfort because never is also an option in our case, the pride gets in your way and my stubbornness gets in mine no matter how much I want you to come back and hold me like before because I'm so tir...
"Have we met before?" As I look into the girl's clear brown eyes and the light hits them, I see they look similar to mine. I feel like I've known this girl my whole life, I don't know how much time passes, seconds, minutes, hours. I begin to speak and say all the things I've been feeling for the longest time possible I don't remember the last time I spoke about my feelings to someone I have tried before I guess but I always get interrupted somehow Girl, Interrupted. This girl doesn't interrupt though she just nods her head or makes hand gest...
After all, I am your daughter...I say this to myself all the time so maybe it'll hurt less, knowing the way I am is just to keep me safe and secure. Hoping and praying I don't slip up one day and lose all the control I've been holding in for years now. We're more similar than I thought, you and I, we were once both so sweet then something happened and things changed. Well, something happened to one one of us, I don't know what happened to you. Why am I lying of course I know what happened to you and it's not even my fault it's just a natural...

Caroline, look at me I can't let you stay you will finally go back to what you know, to what's familiar to you since you were a little kid. Me?

September 18th, 2011Why why why why WHY Is all I can think, it's what I've been thinking ever since yesterday. I've been sleeping on the subway for a day all because my father stole money from the whole city and is currently in jail. My god why did this have to happen! To make things worse my so-called friends are nowhere in sight, so much for friends for life. More like, "we want to get more money out of you because you're the richest person in the world, and my daddy won't buy be my ridiculously expensive purse!" And I'm saying this as if ...
(Carolines Point Of View)This time it happened in her townhouse. She got a notification from Instagram, it was a picture of Max with Randy. It had been 3 years and 90 days since Caroline went back to her spoiled little rich girl life, her father got out of jail 3 years and 90 days ago. It's been 3 years and 90 days since her father tore Max and Caroline away from each other. From her father's point of view, Max was only a "temporary thing" for her. Her "temporary" best friend her "temporary" everything. He shut down their dessert bar and eve...
