Beyond Broken Where to Begin
Danica POV“I forgot to mention, I’m going out tonight.” Dmitry said interrupting my running imagination. I found myself dipping between thinking about my upcoming interview and his relationship with my possible new manager. Though I wasn’t sure what possessed me to think about the latter.“Big plans?” I asked.“Not really. Cory and I normally bar hop on Fridays. I’ll bring you home, then head out right after.”“Oh. Okay.” I said recalling he stayed in last Friday. It was the day after the incident with my father. Dmitry spent the greater part of the day and night making sure I was okay.“Do you have any plans tonight?” He asked.I shook my head, “No. Probably just read a book. Catch up on homework. I’ve got a big end of year project coming up and I want that to be the only thing I have going on.”“Really? Its Friday night. I mean I know you don’t have many friends, but there has to be someone you like hanging with. Or something you like to do for fun.”“Ummm. Reading is fun.” I stat
Beyond Broken The Pairing
Danica POVEnglish was one of the first classes in the day. It was also one of my favorite classes. It was the only time of the day I could truly escape. My teacher introduced us to stories that took me far away from Riverwood.Every week I could be somewhere or someone different. A princess escaping an arranged marriage ad starting a war. Or a fisherman trying to catch an oversized whale. Or my favorite. A great poet travelling the narrow sea.Yes, this was my favorite class and for forty minutes a day, I was in bliss. That is until Miss Titter called both Me and Lucas at the same time.“You two will partner in the upcoming biography project.”Lucas looked back at me with a smirk before turning his attention to the teacher. After she paired each person in the class, she went on to explain what exactly we would be doing for the last few weeks of school.“Each of you will be doing a full biography of your partner. From birth to now.”I winced at the thought of telling anyone my life’s
Beyond Broken Time To Go Shopping
Danica POVI waited patiently for both Grace and Dmitry’s car to arrive. I wasn’t sure how I was going to explain the black town car pulling into the parking lot or the driver to Grace. She was the only person in this school who treated me like a friend and yet, we barely knew each other. Actually, she barely knew me.I knew she had two older brothers and one much younger sister. Her family moved here a few years ago from California, so she didn’t know much about my past social life.I also knew her father was a engineer, and that they lived in the same neighborhood as Lucas.She didn’t know I used to be like her. Enjoying parties thrown by some of the more popular students. She had no idea that only a few years ago I was a social butterfly. And know I was a wallflower at best. At worst, I was nothing.“Sorry I’m late.” Grace approached me from behind. “I had to drop my books off at my locker.”“No problem, the car just got here.”She looked confused. “The car?”I pointed to the black
Beyond Broken Wish Me Luck
Danica POVDmitry wasn’t lying when he said he would be in late. When I came home last night, the house was empty. I placed the envelope full of money on his dresser. He’d given me enough money for a life time. I hated taking charity from anyone, but Dmitry made it hard to say no. He swopped in at all the right times. Exactly when I needed him.I showered, washed my hair, and pulled out a small book I borrowed from the school library a few weeks ago.I laid across a chaise sofa in his small library. I found that of all the room in his house, this was the one I liked the best. It had a chaise chair large enough to comfortably fall asleep. The longest wall in the room was full of books. I already had my eye on the next book I intended on reading.I lay there going from chapter to chapter as the night grew closer to morning and the only time I heard from him was a single text. “Don’t worry. I’ll be ready to take you to your interview in the morning.”I replied with a simple, “Thanks.”Wh
Beyond Broken Happy
Danica POV“Congratulations.” Dmitry said in a smooth voice.I closed he car door and just stared at him.“What?” He asked.“How did you know I got the job?”“Come on. Anyone could see that goofy look on your face from a mile away. You look….happy.”I smiled. “I am happy. Truly happy. Now I can start saving money. I can get my own place.”“What? You don’t like staying with me?”His question surprised me and I wondered if I was coming off ungrateful. “Yes. I mean no.” I laughed and gathered my words. “What I am trying to say is that I hadn’t thought about it that much.”He nodded and pulled out of the parking lot.Now I really did feel ungrateful.“Are you hungry? I was thinking brunch.”“Brunch?”“Yes. You know that meal that comes after breakfast but before lunch.”I laughed. “I know what brunch is, I just never had it.”He laughed along with me. “Well, there is a first time for everything.”Dmitrys cellphone rang and ignore the call. That was the first time I’d seen him do that. He
Beyond Broken Not Today Nancy
Dmitry POV Nancy was becoming relentless. I saw her last night. It was supposed to be a guys night out and she was supposed to be on a flight somewhere headed to Utah. But somehow, she ended up at the same club we were. I tried to ignore her. This was supposed to be me and Cory. I’d spent the entire week hanging with a girl, and tonight I just need some good ole drunken fun with my best friend. Not that I haven’t been having fun with Danica. I was. Surprisingly. But I felt that maybe I was enjoying myself too much. I had to remind myself that this girl wasn’t really a friend a mine. But as soon as she mentioned the job interview, I started to regret the day she would leave and that day wasn’t even here yet. I almost entertained the thought of calling Maci myself and telling her not to hire Danica. I know. Selfish. I mean it was crazy enough how she ended up in my life. But now we were living together. And somehow I find myself being happy about that. I was already more than happ
Beyond Broken Waiting
Danica POVI watched the windows of Dmitry’s office fade to a white foggy color for privacy just after an older man walked in and sat on the other side of his desk. He was dressed in a full suit, like it was Monday morning and not Saturday afternoon.“How did you meet Mister Hardin?” Caroline walked into the conference room with two brown paper bags in hand.She placed them on the table. They were from Luxe. The restaurant Dmitry asked her to order from.I pondered on her question for a minute. What was I going to say…’Oh I stole his bike. Wrecked his bike. And met him when I woke from my concussion.’ No. I couldn’t say that.“I met him at my dads auto garage.”She unpacked the brown bags. I could smell the food before she opened the boxes. My stomach growled and I almost thanked myself for not taking Maci up on her offer for a muffin once the interview was done.She said I could have one free pastry a day and all the coffee I wanted.“Oh. Your dad owns 360 Bike Repairs?”“No. My dad

He joked about me not liking being here in this amazing home with him. Then I casually said, I hadn’t thought about it. “I lied.” My eyes steadied on his, letting him know I had something to say. He paused the spoon full of food next to his mouth. Long enough to ask, “About?” “About staying with you. I had thought about it. I just wanted you to know, I had.” I stuffed my mou
