ok so heres a snippet for the end of a chapter im currently writing. i wanna know what u think so, here goes:
My feet touched the soft, plush material of the beige mat placed next to the bathtub. A chilled sensation ran down my spine as i fully stepped out of the tub. I grabbed my towel and toweled off.
Eventually i emerged from the bathroom, it was about 12:30 am and the whole hotel room, except from the dim lighting in the bathroom, was dark.
"Coco?" I called out into darkness. No answer.I called out again and still no answer.
My toes sunk into the carpet as i walked across the living room and turned on the lamp. A light glow filled the room, and i found her. A form of a body layed limply on the couch, turned on its side, with its chest rising and falling.
Coco only had on a pair or striped capri pajama pants and the matching tank, and i knew that i was cold. So i went into the bedroom and grabbed the small cover off of the end of the bed.
Neatly tucking her in, i moved a few strands of hair away from her face and tucked them behind her ear. "coco dulce de suenos."
My phone lay on the table, with the screen flashing. I picked it up and noticed i had 3 missed calls. All from Cory. I took one last look at Coco before turning the light off, walking into the bedroom, and closing the door behind me so i wouldnt disturb her sleep.
My toes slid up and down the soft sheets as i moved my legs around, trying to ease my anxiety. The phone was on it's third ring and i was this close to hanging up, that is until a groggy voice came over the line.
"Hello?"
"Hey Cory, its me," I said bringing my index fingers' nail up to my mouth.
"Micah?"
"Yeah, baby its me."
Silence filled the line and, my heat thumped in my chest. I held the phone close to my ear before placing my head in my hands. I bit on my lip as i listened to him sigh. His voice...full of emotion.
"Micah, i dont know why you left the other night but, you know i love you and i would never force you."
"Yeah i know Cory, but it wasnt that....."
"Then what was it? I dont understand, what did i do?"
"Cory, it wasnt you. It's me and what im feeling at the moment. I just.." I said before swallowing hard.
"Micah, i know things havent been very good lately. But, baby im trying and i love you. I want you and i know that i hurt you. But, i just couldnt take it if we were to split..."
"Cory im not saying that...i just need...we need space..that's all. Im not in a very happy place and it doesnt even feel like im myself. Lately my life has been going through some changes and i dont know if i can handle all of this."
"What changes? I havent changed. Im still me, your still you. Were still together. I still love you, you still love me...right?"
I bit down on my lip harder. I knew this feeling. Tears threatened to come. I brought my knees up to my chest and buried my face. Soft cries escaped my mouth as i cried inevetably. This was the worst feeling ever.
I took the phone away from my ears and pressed end. I couldnt take it anymore. I slid down under the covers and laid on my side. Tears pouring down my cheeks and onto the pillowcase.
I shut my eyes tight hoping to rid myself of the remaining tears. But, all i saw were flash backs of ous from our first date, first kiss, etc. Thats why the tears came harder. "Is this is?" i thought aloud to noone in paticular.
"Is what it?" Coco asked slowly walking over to the bed and sitting down on the edge. I looked at her, and wiped away a few tears from my eyes.“Have you ever felt like.. you woke up one day, and everything had changed, without asking you first if it were okay? Like, all of a sudden everything you once knew and trusted was just… gone?”
"Your talking about Cory, am i right?" she asked looking at me. Her grey eyes grew a shad darker as they filled with concern.
"Look Meijah, if all this relationship is doing to you is making you cry then, is it really worth it?" She began wiping at a few tears.
I shrugged my shoulders as an answer.
"Do you love him?"
I stared into her eyes because i knew she already knew the answer. She and i both knew that i loved him but...i didnt love him as much anymore. Thats why it hurts so bad. Corey has my heart and he stomped all over it for the past few months, but now he's suddenly a changed person. I dont know what to do.
"You cant make a decision unless your honest with yourself first." Coco smiled and tapped my nose with her index finger.
"Thanks Coco." I smiled back. "Your always there when i need you."
"No problem, were best friends.Casi hermanas . I'll always be there for you. whenever you need me because you know i got yo back.."
"Enough to jump Corey?" i joked.
"Yeah girl" she smiled. "Me,pookey,, and ray ray gon get some vaseline and we gon go beat him down!"
We both laughed as we pictured it. I didnt know what i would do at the moment if Coco would have never woke her sleepy butt up.
Back in L.A at my house
As soon as i had hung up the phone Corey had jumped in his car and sped over to my house. No cars were in the driveway, noone was home.
That's when it hit him. It was over. Our relationship was over and it was only a matter of time before we both had to deal with it.
Truthfully for the past few months we both had been grasping whatever was left. There was nothing. What used to be love had broken apart and flew away in the wind. It's over.
Corey sat in his car looking at my bedroom window, hoping i would look out. But, i didnt. And for the first time in years.....Cory cried. A few tears streamed down his cheeks and he wiped them away quickly.
Memories flooded his head as more tears came. After our first date Corey had driven me home and walked me to the door. But, we didnt kiss. W e just hugged before i walked in the house and he left.
Only, neither of us could sleep that night. Corey drove back over my house and threw rocks at my bedroom window until my light came on and i looked out.
"Hey" i smiled. Corey smiled back and motioned for me to come down.
A few moments later, i crept out of the front door in nothing but a pair of boyshorts and a camisole.
I walked over to him and he grabbed me in his arms. "I forgot to tell you something" he smiled. I searched his hazel eyes. "What?"
"This." Thats when our lips met for the first time and it was perfect. We had never experienced anything like it and for it to be between us was to good to be true.
Now look at us. We realized....the two 15 yr olds who shared their first kiss only a few months ago,were now no longer in love. That spark was gone. That love was gone. Maybe it never was love, we just thought so. Thats life for you.
Corey wiped away his tears before turning on the car and driving away into the night.

Seems like it's been forever,
