ELOWEN

"Woah, I'm starving," I half muttered as I strolled into the kitchen with my hand over mouth suppressing a yawn.

I paused in my tracks as my gaze landed on Celeste's form by the counter, staring me dead in the eye.

Our eye contact lingered, seeming excruciatingly long, then she broke the intense gaze, leaving me with more guilt than before.

"Celeste," I reached out and grabbed her by the arm. Her head snapped back to my form, her eyes holding an unreadable expression.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been rude to you, I was pissed about everything and I couldn't control how mad I was," I rushed out, keeping my gaze squarely on her face but she didn't hold mine.

"Celeste?" I called out softly, hoping she would let go of whatever grudge she must have against me.

She sighed, her eyes finally landing on mine. "I'm not mad at you, Elowen." She finally breathed out, turning to look me in the eyes.

"The person I'm mad at is myself." She took a deep breath and exhaled deeply.

    ELOWEN"Elowen was my payback plan against Owen." I paused, the air in the atmosphere suddenly going dry and unfit to breath in.I stumbled backwards, my hand instinctively moving to my head, hold it steady against the spinning floor beneath me.I didn't want to think about it so much or consider the words I had just heard but I couldn't, there's no way I couldn't.His words were resounding in my head.My footsteps slowed, my jaw dropped, and my pants suddenly felt useless, my exhaustion a mockery, a slap across my cheek."So what you're saying is... after five years, you somehow found a way to get her back into your life and then, signed a contract to get back at Owen?" I leaned in, listening in to the conversation.Maybe I was mistaken, I hadn't heard well and I was overthinking things.Maybe I was just being overdramatic and needed to rehear whatever I had thought I heard."Who...?" He turned towards the person on the left and I ducked behind a chair, avoiding his gaze."Elowen." T

    ELOWENI didn't even ask where "here" was because I was already looking for my keys."What?!" I shot up on my feet, my eyebrows furrowed in confusion."Ryan?" I repeated, glancing at Celeste through the corner of my eyes. "What's going on? Is something wrong with Ryan?" Celeste asked, concern thick and evident in the tone of her voice as she strolled in my direction."I'm sorry, maybe you're mistaken, it's probably not my Ry–""Ryan Sylvarn, isn't it?" The man reconfirmed and I could feel the breath in my lungs suddenly disappear, leaving me shortly of air and my heart, barely beating.I glanced at the wall clock again with more fear in my heart as my trembling hands gripped my phone, pressing it against my ear tighter."What happened?" I asked, trying my very best to keep my voice calm and controlled."The bar downtown, hurry," the man rushed, his voice a little rushed."Wait, What's going on? Is he okay?" I rushed out, my voice slowly giving off my worry and anxiousness."Ma'am, yo

    LILITH"Marcus!" I yelled after him, running after him down the pavement, my bag swinging forth and back by my side, hitting my hip with every rushed step I took."Marcus, wait!" I reached out to him but slipped, my hand missing him by an inch, barely brushing his arm."Mar–Marcus!" I paused, trying to catch my breath as I finally matched his walking pace."Marcus, stop!" I called out firmly, holding his arm in place as I pulled in it in a desperate attempt to make him stop and explain what has just happened."What Lilith, what is it?" He stopped, his tone going a pitch higher and laced with annoyance and frustration."I–i don't understand, what do you mean by this?" I held the card up to his face."Read the fine print, Lilith," he said, and his voice was a low rumble laced with a tiredness that seemed to come from his very soul, and he wouldn't even look me in the eye as he stood before me.I looked down at the card again, but the words were just blurry lines because my mind was raci

    LILITH"Where is she?!" I grabbed the nearest nurse in my way, desperately scanning the room for the person in a white coat."Excuse me, Ma'am." The nurse wheezed out as she tried to struggled out of my grip."Tell me it's a lie!" I pulled on her dress vigorously, tears beginning to sting at the back of my eyes."Calm down, Ma'am." She gripped the edge of my dress, trying to loosen my grip."What's going on here?" A man in scrubs walked up to us, confusion and concern etched to his face."She just walked in here and grabbed me, not specifying what issues she has or who she is looking for." The nurse rushed out, clearly frightened by my sudden outburst."Ma'am, if you could please take a seat, we'll attend to you shortly." The man urged me."I need you to breathe, okay? If you could please just take a seat right here, we'll attend to you shortly and figure out how to help you," the man repeated to me, his voice deep and steady, as he gently wrapped a large hand around mine and pulled m

    OWEN"Hey! You can't park here!" The knocking on the window was dulled out by the loud music blasting from the car's system.The knocking came again and I groaned, winding the window down so I could see the face matched to the angry voice that had been yelling muffled words to me for the past ten minutes."How can I help you, sir?" I asked, my voice as polite as I could make it. The man held his hand up to his nose, his face scrunching up into a frown then a confused expression."You can't park here mister." He said, his voice firm and thick with anger as his eyes searched the car suspiciously. "I won't be here long," I muttered, my hand already on the button to wind up the window when the man angrily slammed his hand down on the window, holding it down."This is a fire lane, and you're blocking the delivery entrance for the bakery.""I won't be here long," I muttered dismissively, my hand already on the button to wind up the window, signaling the end of the conversation because I di
