Made For Maybe

Emerald's Point of View ~ "This shouldn't be happening "Emerald held her chest like it was the only thing holding unto her and 6ft under.It was little bit of a minus of how you could love someone and still ghost them. "Give it a try"a seizure in her chest aligned,but the echoes of getting hurt,feeling unheard or maybe made a fool of being the other girl. "I never really knew myself". "Did I even love myself?". "Cause how can a boy make me feel like a real cave woman,scattered back and forth like sea waves of a dead shore". Her mind and her heart fought for two different reasons ,that will be an issue of "trust" .Of course she kept of enduring how much of a fairytale her life would be if she gave him a chance,kept on make believing. But every-time,she's reminded that those risk aren't for a fragile girl like her.So she hides and ghosts,sets boundaries because she knows the game."Hurt them before they hurt you" One ring,two rings then three,her phone rang and the name popped up "Asher",this was the name that unlocked all her futile hearts. "Emerald are you ignoring me?"The voice asked with a hint of disappointment ,but Ofcourse the words couldn't form a statement so she hangs up immediately. She made way to her father's dinner party. All guests sat with poise as she walked her stance trying to forget the "he" she just neglected.She was the daughter of "Louis Stanford",the top most influential business man known for dealing with artificial intelligence..She never lacked,never had any care to worry about .She could soak herself in makeup ,skincare,wealth and all the Paparazzi will show,but even with this she wasn't happy ,she was like the definition of inside out ,were you'll see that even the influential has scars.But with him,everything made sense,no worries,no after thought.Except she knows her fate.It isn't right and her heart might be scared to make a way too. Emerald stood with her guests,waving and smiling like she was some part of her father's robots programmed to smile.She roamed her eyes through the halls ,unknowingly searching for him. "This right here is my eldest daughter Emerald"her father introduced her to a Scottish man in his thirties. "Nice to meet you miss Emerald"the figure said. "Nice to meet you too"Emerald answered politely.However there was something in the air that existed apart from politeness and pleasantries. His lustful smile answered her question right away. "Oh ,it was marital season"she said in her thoughts.Just like every other girl,she knew that one day she'll be sold off for a business collaboration.And knowing her father,he was agile to use his first and only daughter to bag a deal with his colleagues."Anything for the market"She sighed Emerald excused herself from that crew,knowing if she stayed a minute longer,a ring will be put on her finger. Nervously she wondered down the hallways ,needing for air,a place to inhale and breathe without giving back.She went out to the garden and just when she was about to light a cigarette ,a form surfaced in her gaze. "Still smoke?"...that voice ,that scent,that look that always made her act so timid yet so warm.He grabbed her cigarette and threw the lighter away. Silence reigned for a minute or two ,then he spoke again ."Did I do something wrong?" Wrong?,that was such a misconception,this man has never wronged her,he has always been her oxygen,a reason to exist,capturing her youth and essence. Wrong?,if that was a word ,that will never be associated to someone of his status.He has been her whole source of freedom,to dove in another world. So what exactly does wrong mean?..to love like Adam so loved Eve he gave a rib,or to nullify her existence and adapt to her rough circles She shook her head while looking vulnerable in his eyes "If I didn't then why do you keep ignoring me?"Asher asked needing answers. "Asher ,I cannot keep on seeing you"she spat out,making g it seem like they were a thing. "But I do see you Emerald,I need you to stop this and let's talk"he said "Asher I said we cannot be seen in private places,I cannot keep on seeing you,we cannot exist together " "Not even as friends?"he asked with a sorrowful look in his eyes. Friends?....that choked Emerald into almost crying out tears."Friends don't look at each other like they could see a realm of their soul"she said to him,locking in eyes in depth. "This is not right Emerald"Asher said trying to understand."Exactly ,none of this is,me...you...it's forbidden.Asher you are the son of Damian Zane,you are a Carter....you have his veins in you,the same veins my father hates,the same veins who killed my mom " Asher tried to speak but Emerald held his words "It was a mistake,I'm sorry if it feels u fair,but from today never come near me" And just like that,Emerald left the scene,somewhere in her heart wanted hun to follow her,but her mind had taken over.She was done acting like a crazy thirteen year old on a trip with her crush.
