Crystal’s POV Never in my life did I ever think I would hear Joshua Melrose say those words. I knew this was technically a dream but it couldn't have prepared me for how dazed I still felt. Mikey's mind space had seemed so scattered and disorganised. But just like Tristan's, it had been in a r

He had another bottle that looked similar to the green stuff he had me drink. They tore a bit of the jacket and both got to work starting to clean Tristan's cuts with it. Tristan was fighting the urge to yell out. He balled up the jacket and bit hard into it. I appeared beside him, stroking hi

Crystal’s POV One thing was for certain. The fight was coming here. "Are you gonna be okay?" I asked Tristan. He nodded firmly but I knew he was trying to be strong. I tried to be gentle but move as fast as I could while still supporting him. We had to stop for a bit so that Roman could

Crystal’s POV I held on tighter to Tristan. He placed his arm around me. As we waited silently. I could feel Tristan's heart beating. Or maybe it was mine? I heard the rock scraping the ground indicating that the cave was opened. "Hey fellas, who wants to see the body of a dead Silvercrest

Crystal’s POV "Yes, yes. It's me." I told him. It's then that he noticed Roman as well. His face darkened. "What's he doing here?" Before Roman could say anything, I pipped up. "Helping. He's helping. We're gonna get you out of here. Can you get up?" "He has one foot, Crystal." Roman spo

Crystal’s POV We used the night as cover. Roman was right about the evacuation, many of the soldiers who hadn't gone off to fight with Ornyx were helping assemble people and carry bags. I saw mothers getting their kids ready and men storing up supplies. I frowned thinking of how they would b

I sat on the floor clutching Mr Washington to my chest. The poor teddy had been the recipient of my tears and was practically drenched in them. I rested my chin on his head as a stared at nothing. I hadn’t even been this broken when I had broken up with Marshall. Someone I had been with for almost two years. I couldn’t explain it but it was different with Kaden. From the moment Kaden had set his eyes on me, I had been intrigued. Then he put in so much effort to take me out and try to get to know me. He was an underground boxer and that alone should have put me off but I really couldn’t reconcile the Kaden I saw when he was angry with the Kaden I knew when we were together. The Kaden who listened so attentively to everything I said and held me so gently, it was hard to believe his hands could ever cause harm to anyone. But he did. Time after time and I didn’t know how to make any of those things okay in my mind. Especially since I hadn’t even gotten any concrete answer. I coul

Kaden spun around and the look on his face was of sheer shock. “Mia?” He let go of the guy he had been holding up. I saw the strange man drop to the ground groaning in pain, his face so bloody and swollen that his features were almost completely unrecognisable. Rand and another huge man stood behind them, his arms had been crossed over his chest and he almost looked bored as he watched the scene before them. “Hello brother,” Dylan spoke walking in past me. “Mia just stopped by to say hey.” My eyes were wide and I felt frozen in my spot as my eyes darted from Kaden to the guy on the ground. “Mia -“ Kaden tried to take a step forward but I flinched. My eyes focused on his blood stained hands as he tried to hold them up like he was calming a wild animal. “Mia, this is not what it looks like -“ I didn’t wait for another work and turned around immediately sprinting out of the gym. I didn’t stop to hear whatever Kelly was trying to sneer at me and I pushed the doors open. “Mia!

I walked into the Reyes’ brother’s gym looking around nervously and uncomfortably. My heart was pounding in my chest with fear but I knew I had to force myself to be brave and confront Kaden about my suspicions. That’s the main reason I was here. A voice in the back of my mind kept telling me this was dangerous - coming here on my own. Even after Marshall’s warning and Scott saying the same thing, I was still here. Mostly because a huge part of me wanted to give Kaden a chance to explain himself first. Perhaps that was the same part of me that didn’t want to let him go… I walked up to the front desk and found the Kelly girl sitting there on a phone call. Her eyes locked on me and immediate displeasure shone in them. “Thank you for calling, sir. We can’t wait to have you again.” She spoke before hanging up. She set the landline down before standing up, spreading her arms over the desk. “You again?” She asked bluntly. I let out a breath not in the mood for mean girl antics.

We heard the door slam open and Hayden practically sprinted in.Scott, Drew and I who were camped in the living area all turned to look at him.“Geez Hayden, is there a freaking fire or something?” Scott asked.Hayden pulled on his collar as his neck turned pink.He walked over to us at a level pace.“Sorry, I just wanted to be here before you got the call. Any news?” He asked.The air in the room was filled with tension and I turned to look at Drew who sat across from me on the coffee table.He looked as white as a sheet. Neither Scott nor I could get him to eat anything all day and it was clear he was stressed about what verdict the judge would pass.I had even heard him wake up in the middle of the night to throw up.“Nothing yet.” Drew spoke. He let out an exhausted breath.A buddy of his from the courthouse said they’d give him a call when the judge made a decision. My testimony was only a part of it, they had to go over the evidence now.That lawyer, Mr Reed, had assured me that

I couldn’t focus in class. Everywhere I looked I kept seeing my father’s face. Images of him sitting in that hearing room.How could a person I only ever saw as a monster in my mind look so small and vulnerable.Almost defenceless.That didn’t seem nearly fair or right.He had hurt me and abused me yet I had to sit on that stand and tell the judge and lawyers how he deserved to be set free.“Miss Hastings?” I looked up sharply and saw my teacher looking at me in concern.“Are you with us?” She asked.I looked around and my classmates were watching me in a way that made me believe a question had been asked.Great. I had totally spaced.I cleared my throat as I stood up pushing my chair away from the desk.“Uhm, I… can I go to the ladies room?” I asked.I didn’t even wait for Ms Carlson to respond before I grabbed my bag and rushed out. I didn’t stop until I had burst through the doors that led outside.Fresh air blew past me and I felt like I could finally breathe.My head was poundin

“This is ridiculous.” Drew spoke angrily.We were parked in front of the courthouse.“I know.” I spoke. “But it’s the only way.”I was looking at myself in my compact mirror trying to adjust my hair so that it would cover the bald spot where I had just gotten stitches.The last thing we needed was to give that jerk lawyer more ammunition.I turned to look at Drew and he was clenching the steering wheel so tightly, his knuckles were turning white.“Hey,” I spoke reaching over to put my hand on his, “it’s gonna be okay.”Drew ran a hand down his face and let out an angry huff. “I can’t believe that lawyer threatened you. I should -““Nothing.” I spoke firmly. “You should do nothing. You planting those drugs is what got us into this in the first place.”Drew looked at me, clenching his jaw.“Not that I don’t understand why you had to do it.” I spoke with a sigh. “Trust me, I do.”Drew had put everything on the line so that I could leave that house. I appreciated it but I never wanted to
