Chloe."What do you think they are doing, they have been quiet for a while, since breakfast i have not heard screaming or seen any furniture breaking, maybe they are actually good." i say to Jeremy as we stand in the living room looking up. "Mayne they are okay, we should just go do our own thing." I say as i stand in front of Jeremy and put my arms around his waist."I won't let you tell me that twice." he took my hand and we started walking out of the door, when suddenly Ella's door opened and Jordan came down the stairs furious.He went straight to the refrigerator snd took out a bottle of whiskey and started drinking from the bottle." Everything okay Jordan ?" Jeremy asked him as we walked back into the house."Does it look like everything is okay?" he asked looking at the both of us then walked right past us and left. We quickly followed him outside"Where are you going Jordan ?" i asked shouting at him."Anywhere that's not here." he shouted back getting in his car."Please go
ELLA. "Do you guys think he is okay?" i ask Chloe and Jeremy for the millionth time. It's almost midnight and Jordan is still not back from wherever he went to and we still haven't heard from him. His phone is off."He is fine," Jeremy says, "He probably got caught up in his drinking spree.""How can you be so sure of that when we haven't heard from him all day?""Because he is my best friend, and I know him better than anyone. I actually know him better than he knows himself."Chloe gets up from Jeremy 's laps and walks over to where am sitted, "He is going to be fine, try not to focus too much on him.""How can i focus on anything else? I am the reason he is out there in the first place."i say tears rolling down my cheeks." If i jad just listened to whatever he wanted to say, maybe we would have talked and he would have stayed here safe.""Look Ella, stop blaming yourself, Jordan has been going through aloot, it has nothing to do with you. And if there is someone who is feeling gui
MARIA. We are all sitting in Leila's apartment where she is currently staying with Michael drinking wine. There are about three empty bottles on the table and four more unopened. Am starting to feel a little bit tipsy."Maybe, you should stop drinking. I think you have had enough, you don't want to go back to your house and fiancé drunk." Leila said taking away the bottle of wine i had just opened."Jordan is not even home, and he won't be for the next couple of days. Why do you guys think am here, it's definitely not because i wanted to see you make out every second of the day."I say irritated," Am lonely, i feel like something changed with him ever since the Ella situation, i barely see the man anymore.""Where is he? Do you think he knows or suspects anything?" Michael asked sitting down next to Leila."No he doesn't suspect a thing, i just think losing the babies hit him more than he had anticipated and he is suppressing by over working himself." i say pouring myself some wine, "
LeilaAfter a couple of shots, my body was burning, am more of a wine girl, i don't drink the hard stuff. I needed a shower to help me sober up a little. But i also didn't want to leave the party, it was really fun, playing drinking games with Michael and my sister Maria. It has been while since we had fun like that, without yelling at each other. So i decided to use the guest bathroom on the same floor as the living room to shower. I figured Maria wasn't going to sleep any sooner. I stripped naked and walked towards the bathtub, the water was so calming and relaxing. "Hey babe, are you in here?" I could hear Michael 's voice from the bedroom, "I am in the shower." I shouted back, hoping he would hear me and go back to the living room. "I think we should play beat the clock." i heard him say in a sexy voice. "My sister is right next door Michael no." i shout back totally surprised by his sudden need for exploration. "Thats what will make it even more fun and sexier, the knowledg
ELLA.I watch him get ready for bed still wondering how we are going to survive eight hours of sleep beside each other. Considering we had just had sex this same morning. After a while i decide to get in bed and try to sleep before he joins me. It would be much easier if he found me already sleeping or pretending to be sleeping since I know sleep today was not going to come easy.I immediately got under the covers and laid on my side, my back facing his side of the bed. I tried to close my eyes but i couldn't get any sleep, i just lay there in anticipation as my body tensed up. How the hell was i supposed to fall sleep tonight.I felt the bed move when he got in it and then there was total silence. My body froze as i prayed and hoped he would fall asleep immediately, i tried to listen to his breathing hoping he would fall asleep soon. I knew this was going to be a very long night. I know the effect this man has on me and i didn't want any parts of our bodies to touch.For a moment the
ELLA.I woke up quiet early than usual, we are staying at the Hamptons house alone since Jordan had given the workers days off so we could all soebd time together, like an intimate setting. Given what he shared with me last night, i wanted to do something for him even if it was as simple as preparing him breakfast.Jordan was still sleeping peacefully, i walked quietly to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and put on some comfy lounge wear before heading downstairs. Chloe and Jeremy were not yet in the house which meant they were still in their love nest. I put on some soft music opening the curtains to let the fresh air come in. I went ahead to prepare breakfast, or rather brunch.I was in a really happy mood, and the sun was out today, the weather was amazing for us to just chill in the backyard by the pool and just relax. I although wished Chloe was up so she could help me set the table, i knew Jordan would be up soon, and i would like to be done by then."wooow!" i heard Chloe's vo
Ella. “Give me the real on you and Toby, what's been happening. You guys are always together.”“Let's just say if all goes well, you're not the only one who will have a boo.”Ella said smiling, “He is really a good guy and i love him.”“Hold up!” i say almost shocked, “Ella loves someone, That's juicy.”A shadow slid across Claire’s face before it disappeared. “Yes i am in love and i can't believe saying this, ut he just mightbe the one speaking of which,” She turned to me “Where’s Lover Boy?”I rolled my eyes, a blush spreading over my cheeks. “Don’t call him that, and he’s busy running a company. He doesn’t have time for college events.”“You sure about that?” Ella tilted her chin at something behind me. I whipped around, my heart jumping in my throat when I saw Toby standing behind me. In his navy cashmere sweater and jeans, he cut a sophisticated figure amongst the crowds of drunk college students and rumpled professors. I couldn’t help it I ran and threw my arms around him. “I t
6 months ago. ELLA. "Lets do shots Chloe," i say as soon as i get back on my chair. "Wait, what changed between a few minutes ago and now?" she asks looking at me curiously. "I have decided tonight to let loose and live like you, everything under normal circumstances i wouldn't get caught dead doing, i will do it." "Well, i won't talk you out of that, so shots it is." The music in the club pulsed through my body as i threw back my second shot of tequila. “Maybe you should slow down Ella, you're not really a heavyweight drinker” Chloe warned“And maybe you should shut up,” I replied handing her a shot. Stop being a buzzkill, let's just live tonight" i say taking my third shot. "Jordan Baker has been looking at you since you came back”“where” i asked a little too excitedly that it shocked me, i knew his reputation and he wasn't really my type so maybe the alcohol was clouding my judgment. That's when I turned around and saw him. He was casually leaning against the wall talking
