Shiver (Writing Contest- New Years)

In the world of demigods a lot of things can happen in a span of a month. Friendships would be broken and tested over and over again. Betreyal is an everyday event to the point that it doesn't really hurt anymore.Trust is a superficial word in the world of greek mythology.It is because of this ideology that I closed my heart to everything around me. I thought that by doing so,I wouldn't be hurt but I was mistaken. My heart was shattered into different pieces as I continue to close it from recieving warmth from the love of the people around me.

I never thought that I would be able pick up the pieces again and mend the wound that was inflicted in my heart.I didn't do it alone though, Lala helped me.

Lala and I are half-sisters. We are both daughters of Aphrodite but we rarely talk to each other. To tell you honestly I am not a sociable person. I rarely talk to anyone beside my father. I always put on earphones and put the volume on max so I wouldn't be able to hear the noise of my surroundings. No one also bothers to talk to me anyhow.

So when 10 years old Lala Fei pulled my earphones and asked me a question I was scared. I began to tremble as the smell of perfume accumilated in the cabin began to fill my nose. The voices of my half-sisters and half- brothers were suddenly loud and terrifying.

"Are you okay?" Lala asked. I was not okay. I need to have my earphones back. I need them on my ears, I tried to move my hands to take it back, but I couldn't move.

"Gi...Give...i..it..ba..back, " I suttered.She looked at me then at my earphones. She made a gesture of giving it back but just when I was about to grab it, she put it on her ears.

"There's no music. Why do you always wear this?"
