Thirty six: Enough
I closed my eyes. In situations like this, mom always said I should walk away. But how would I do that when the crowd had their eyes on me? My gown had torn, exposing the skin of my knee to my feet. Thank goodness the lap region didn't tear.
Okay. Roy was the one who could save me right now. But again, where had he gone to?
My eyes held some tears, but I held them from leaving my eyes. Some jobless people were gossiping about me, but that wasn't my concern for now. I guessed I would just have to be bold enough to walk out of here.
"Renee." I felt relief to see Jason walk to me. He stood in front of me, looking worried. "Are you okay? How did this happen?" He spoke silently.
"I tripped on my dress. I don't even know what to do. Where's the restroom?" I questioned him.
He flipped his hand in the air. "Come with me."
"What's happening? Why is e

"And so, I'll be moving out of here," Barbara informed all three of us, my roommates.I saw tears in her eyes. Since she was going to graduate soon, she was going to leave the dorm. I felt a little sad about it, because I would miss her drama and all. I wished she was in the saw year as us.We were all on her bed. I dropped my elbow on the bed, kept my chin in my palm, pouting. "Gosh, I'll miss you so much. Isn't there any other option?""I can't stay here forever, silly." She chuckled."When will you be leaving?" Virginia asked her."Um…" she sucked her teeth, creased her eyebrows. "Next week. I told my parents I'd like to move to my own house, so they're helping me get one.""Nice," Bella remarked. "I wish my parents would allow that. But no, dad's overly protective of his sweet baby girl. He would say, ‘No honey, what i

Since mom had advised me to get back with Roy, I had called him about three times when I had arrived back at my dorm this morning. To my surprise, he hadn't answered my calls. At first, I had thought he probably hadn't been with his phone, but this was three o'clock in the afternoon already. Wouldn't he have seen my missed calls?What was wrong with him? Had he decided to leave me completely? Was he truly going to move on? Had Kathleen poisoned his mind against me? Had he fallen for her in only a week plus? Shit, this was going to make my hormones stop working. I was running crazy.Frustrated, I smacked a pillow against my face, screamed in it. What the heck could possibly be going on with him? How was I going to get answers to these questions?"What's up now?" Bella's voice startled me. When did she walk into the room? Was I that intense in thinking about Roy that I didn't even notice her coming in?

We all remained silent. I was so nervous, my heart leaping to my throat, back to my chest. This couldn't be. My friend would die?"Virginia." Barb sat in the space beside her, Barb's eyes filled with tears. "I-I don't get you. How did this happen? Y-You're still joking, right?"Virginia continued to weep. "I noticed I was having terrible headaches, constant fever, my bones and joints ached, my tummy hurt. So, I decided to go to the hospital."Bella lurched to Virginia, sat beside her. She patted Virginia's back to probably help her feel better, also crying too."When I told the doctor all this, he asked me if I was bleeding too," Virginia continued. "I told him yes. So, he took a test. Going back to the hospital, I was diagnosed with cancer. I-I don't know how it happened. I'm just so…"Unable to speak properly, she broke out in tears again. She yanked her hair, then
Chasing his Forty: Goodnight
I was shaken, having no idea of what to do. Roy clearly didn't like Sean. So, what would he think after seeing Sean and I together? Also, Roy thought this was the reason I didn't want to be with him?I leaped from the bench, hurried to him. His jaw was clenched, his eyebrows creased in a really, really hard frown."Roy, it's not what you think," I explained. "I swear, this is nothing related to why I wanted us to separate."He scoffed, his hands in a fist. "Why would you be with your ex? Are you so desperate to have someone close?"Oh, yes, I was desperate to have someone close. I needed someone to comfort me. But not for a bad reason! I was with Sean because I was only helpless."I didn't know you'd be coming." A tear left my eye. "I was so upset, so I needed someone around me.""You couldn't wait a little longer? You couldn't—"&nbs
Chasing his Forty one: Heaven
Something hit my eyes. Whatever that was, was hot, disturbing and crazy. It pulled me from my sleep, which was so annoying. I had to sleep. I hadn't slept so well in a long time.A knot kept my hands and legs captive. I tried to move on this bed, but it seemed impossible to. And, what in the world was this bed made of? Rock?As I yawned, my bad breath attacked my nose, which made me scrunch it. And, trying to sit up, I opened my eyes.I gasped. I was scared. I remembered all that had happened last night.My legs and hands were tied. I was sitting on a dusty floor, close to a terribly old sofa. I knew something had been wrong with where I had been sleeping, but I didn't know it was a floor not a bed.The thing that had pulled me from my sleep was the sun that passed through the silky curtain on the small window above my head. Where was this place?

I wasn't hearing the honking car anymore. Was this death? Was I in heaven? But woah, I was still hearing the barking guys.I pressed my hands against my ears, not wanting to hear anything. I just kept weeping. I just wanted everything to be silent."Are you fine?" That voice was familiar. I knew that person.Slowly I raised my neck to spot whoever had asked me that. And, this instant, I knew a miracle existed. This was a miracle. A big one."Roy!" I jumped from the ground, cuddled him tightly. He dropped a kiss on my forehead, soothed my hair, sighed."Are you okay?" He asked."I'm so scared." I wept on his chest. "I thought they would kill me.""Don't worry." He cupped my jaw, looking so worried. "They won't hurt you any longer. I'm here to help you out."I nodded.
Chasing his Forty three: News
This bed was comfy, comfy enough for me to have a great sleep. I rolled on it, pulled the blanket over my naked chest, yawned as well. Wait, why was my chest naked?"Oh my gosh!" I sat up straight, gasped. I was on Roy's bed. Naked on his bed.Ah, quite embarrassing.I pulled the blanket up, to cover my chest, ran my fingers through my rough hair. Where was Roy? He wasn't on the bed. Did he go somewhere?Glancing up at the wall clock, I grumbled on seeing it was nine in the morning. First, mom would be so worried. Second, my roomies would be worried. Also, I wasn't supposed to sleep till nine!Heaving a sigh, my eyes caught the shirt I had worn last night. And, that brought a clear memory of how Roy had slipped off the shirt from my body, how he had almost ripped off my underwear, how he had adored my body. He had made my first time so memorable. I was gla

I moved my lips, but said nothing. I was so shocked. How had it happened? How had she gotten to meet a boy? This sounded too crazy to be true."Bella, how did it happen?" I managed to ask.She stopped wailing, put her eyes down, sobbed. "A few weeks ago, I went to the club. I wanted to speak with you, but you weren't there. Your boss said you weren't working that night. And then, I-I saw Jason there.""Jason?" I dropped my mouth. So she slept with that idiot? Really?"Yeah." She rubbed off the tears on her cheek. "He offered to have a drink with me, and I accepted. I didn't want to, but I thought it would be a good way to get rid of the stress I felt.""Oh goodness." Barb slapped her hands against her forehead, probably knowing where Bella was leading her story to.Bella sniffed. "We both got drunk. He drove us to the hotel, and then, we&hel
