Today our one month anniversary of our therapy sessions, Jenny and I. It’s been weeks of staring at the pale cream wall of Dr. Kent’s office and hoping that Jenny will miraculously say a word.He says her muteness is as a result of the trauma she had suffered from witnessing her mother’s death. But I think it’s much more than that. To have this constant nagging at the back of my head that I’m the reason she has turned into this shadow of herself is unbearable.It’s the only reason I sit on this mint green couch every weekend and bear the constant reminder of my own guilt.It would’ve been okay if she spoke to everyone else but me. It would have been understandable. Shutting everyone out only signifies the depth of the damage done to her person.I squeeze my hands tighter on my lap and watch her side profile.The blank expression is on her face, with her mouth pulled down at the corners in an attempt of a frown.What I would do to see her smile again, too hear her speak again.“Mrs. C
My hand is unsteady as I try to put on the pearl earring I’m holding. I can’t seem to get the hook in and I blame it on my being a nervous wreck. Drew is still in the bathroom while I’m trying and also failing terribly to dress my self up. With a frustrated sigh I let my head fall to the vanity table. The day has barely begun and I could feel how awful it was going to end already.My black gown was still hanging in the closet leaving me in my underwear. I do not bother to cover up when I hear Drew walk in, it’s nothing he hasn’t seen plus I have no strength for modesty.It’s easy to feel his warmth from the little distance between us, I can tell he had a hot shower. Very hot his hot palm on my cheek is any indication.“I thought you’d be jumping for joy,” he says, his closer than it ought to be.”“I thought the same too,” I say in frustration. “I can’t for the life of me understand all that I’m feeling now. I should be ecstatic, happy that he’s finally gone. This day should be for m

All with the company is forgotten when the wedding draws closer. I’m nervous but Drew seems to be perfectly fine.In fact he’s been in high spirits the entire week, excited to go on cake tasting and getting a new set of rings. He says this time it’s a real ring, a real wedding and above all a real family.It’s hard to not share in his excitement. He has practically infected me with it, pushing all my thoughts of developing cold feet away.I’ll be his actual wife soon, no longer a stand in of my dead sister.Never did I think that I’ve ever be married, that I’ll capture someone heart long enough for them to want to be with me forever. Even if my forever is way shorter than theirs.I don’t let that down my spirits, I’m hopeful that Dr. Shelby is right about the chance that both me and my baby will be okay. That’s the only future that I look up to. The only one that I let myself think about. I’ll be able to have the happy ending that Drew promised me. It makes me jittery. It’s a week aw
When I heard we were going to have new neighbors, I was excited. The man was Father’s closest friend, so Mother said.I was even more elated when I heard he had two kids around my age, this meant I could have actual friends and people to talk to.It was weeks before I finally saw the moving van in front of the yard. There were boxes everywhere, the entire lawn was a disaster. With my face pressed to my window, the only sight I was awarded with was a mop of curly blonde hair. It was impossible to see the face of the boy sitting just a few feet from my doorstep.My first thought was to fly down the stairs and go introduce myself. But, Mother locked me in. And I wasn’t allowed to come out until it was dinner time.Cassie, on the other hand, was out in the park down the street playing with Mother. While I was here, alone and suffocating in this tiny room. I fell back on my bed and counted down to the minutes when my door would be unlocked. I was done with my assignment and already clean
"Well I'm not the one in pain" he said pressing her ankle so it ached.Alexis glared at him pulling her leg back."You've helped enough'' She said, holding the door frame, gripping it hard as she pushed herself up, balancing her weight on her good foot."You'll regret it" X mocked."Well it's better than doing nothing" She breathed harshly, feeling sweat trickle down her temples."Woah!" She cried out as X carried her in his arms bridal style."Drop me down'' Alexis yelled, struggling in his grasp."I got you in this mess let me get you out I'll get you to a hospital" He said holding her firmly. "And how do you plan on doing this, you're not so strong to carry me all the way there""Wanna bet?" He asked, smiling but Alexis wasn't amused."You need to chill out, I see why your best friend broke up with you""Shut up" Alexis said, hitting his chest but he just laughed out carrying her through the door.He went down the stairs slower, almost dropping her because some guests fell asleep
Bryan actually took Alexis to a beach, she immediately rushed out of the car and she inhaled the breeze, loving the fresh scent of sand.Bryan smiled when he knew he'd actually made her happy."Why're you standing over there?" She asked but Bryan was lost staring at her.Alexis hair was basically flying in the air because of the breeze and Bryan couldn't help but stare at her in awe, he mentally imagine himself having her all to himself, savouring every nook and cranny of her body."Hey!!, Bryan are you okay?" Alexis half yelled when she noticed he was just staring at her.The way she yelled immediately brought him back from his reverie."What did you say?" He asked and she sighed."You've been staring at me for a while now, is everything alright? Are you bothered about anything?" Alexis asked and Bryan smiled. "You're just too beautiful to be overlooked my lady," He said and Alexis found herself blushing, but she tried as much as possible to hide her excitement."Please stop it Bryan
Jake walked into his room, he was just discharged from the hospital and he needed something to rest. The smell of the hospital's equipment still lingered all over him and he needed to get rid of it as soon as possible."Shit!" He mumbled as he walked into the bathroom with a deep frown on his face. Lately he'd thought about calling Alexis but he decided against it, he was going to give her the shock of her life.He thought about what he told Kingsley and he knew it wasn't necessary, since Mr Meyer has a soft spot for him, he'd gladly give him the CCTV footage instead of doing it legally.Jake quickly took his phone and he dailed Kingsley's number who picked up after the third ring."Hello," Kingsley said over the phone."I want you to hold on for the job I have to you," He said and he heard Kingsley chuckled. "If you don't have the guts to do it you shouldn't have thought about it in the first place," Kingsley mocked."That's not the point, I've found an easier way to get the CCTV foo
