Asher

After Alena and I parted ways, I turned into my house as well.

The plan was to hit the sack while waiting for Alena and her mother to be done with their conversation but the plan was utterly ruined as soon as I walked in and saw Mom seated on the couch.

Without thinking twice, I hid my wounded hand behind my back. "Mom, you didn't tell me you were coming. What a surprise!"

Mom springs up from the couch, approaching me with a wide smile plastered across her face.

"That's because I wanted to surprise you" She responds. "I went through the fridge and found it empty. What on earth have you been eating, Asher?"

"I haven't had time for grocery shopping yet"

"Thank goodness I came then" Mom say, pointing over to a bag ontop the kitchen counter. "I brought you some cooked food. They're your favourite"

I throw myself at Mom, hugging her ever so tightly. "Thank you"

Mom refrains from my embrace as she pulls me down to sit on the couch. "So, how has things at the hospital been?. Is it fun

    Alena After Julia and I had reviewed Jameson's case, she'd agreed to defend Jameson but wasn't asking any promises on his sentence being sucesfully reduced. "Thank you" I say, glancing around the dining table for what dish to pack for Asher. I selected any random dish and put it in a bag. "I'll be heading to my office here in Australia to work on Jameson's case" Julia says, rising up to her feet. I was surprised to hear that she was leaving so soon. "You're leaving?""Don't get me wrong honey, I would love to stay" Julia explains. "But, I feel this is all to sudden for you to take in. I don't want to use this case to force my way into your life"Patting my head, she says. "Let's do this again sometime when you're ready to and when it's not work related, okay?"I nod in understanding. "Okay. Let me know when you get to your office""Will do"As I walked Julia out the front lawn, I spot Miss Micheal and Fredinard next door. They were just about to enter into their car. "Miss Michea

    Alena"Asher..""You don't need to answer me right away" He says, cutting me short. "You can as much time as you want to think it through"But was there really anything to think about?. My entire life was here. My family, my work, my friends. I wasn't sure I could leave that all behind. "Alot of things still needs to be tended to" I respond. "My relationship with Julia just started healing, there's Jameson's case. I can't leave just yet"Asher let out a short sigh. "I figured you'd say that but thought I'd ask regardless. The offer is always opened incase you change your mind""I'll keep that in mind" Asher and I walked back home together and there separated. Strolling inside my house, I spot Julia spreading out some dishes on the table. It looked like a meal made for twenty people. "Are we expecting someone over?"Julia chuckled. "I didn't know what you liked so I made a lot" she passed, looking behind me. "Where's Asher?""He went home""That's a shame" she admits. "I was hoping

    NOTE: TRIGGER WARNING. THIS SCENE CONTAINS RAPE TRAUMA. AlenaSilence. It felt like I'd done something bad. I'd made Julia relieve a past trauma and now, I didn't know what to say to her. I didn't even know how to react. She'd been raped and had carried this guilt all by herself. "What...?. How?"Julia shut her eyes, ever so tightly. "I don't like talking about it but I'll tell you if you come lay down on the bed"I climbed onto the bed beside her. Then, Julia told me about her past. Her boss had raped her and she'd gotten pregnant in the process. Unable to face dad and I, she left us and got married to her boss. "You should have..""Told you and Jonathan earlier?" Julia completes. "It's not something easy to talk about. If not that enough time had passed, I wouldn't have been able to tell you about it"While Julia had to live with this guilt for years, I'd resented her driven by my own feelings.Tears clouded my eyes as I admit, "I feel so shitty. I'm so sorry for everything you'v

    AlenaAfter the hangout with the team, I assisted dad close the restaurant then when back home. It was dark outside by this time yet Julia hadn't called to inform me that she was in Australia already. "I'm not worried about her" I muttered undef my breathe. "I just need to know on time if she would be able to take up Jameson's case"Dad was right. I was slowly starting to open up to Julia and I hated myself for that. A year wasn't enough to forgive her for how she'd left dad and I. Gazing up, I find a stern looking Asher standing at my front lawn. "Oh, hey. Micheal"Asher scoffed. "Is that all you have to say to me?""How's your arm?""Alena, I called you several times.." He states with a rough tone that I flinched.I reached out to Asher and embraced him. "I'm sorry. I haven't been able to check my phone all day. I'm sorry if you were worried"Asher says nothing. He doesn't wrap his arms around me either. He was angry beyond words. I could tell from the way his heart beat against h

    Alena"Volkyvan! Yo, Volkyvan!" Clara calls out, grabbing my attention. We'd accompanied Deputy Lee to Vesktar police academy. As he gave a short class session to the new recruits, I and my team stood at the back. My mind had drifted to how I was going to meet Julia again after our last conversation a year ago when Clara called me out of my thoughts. "Yes?""You're spacing out again" Clara noted. "Are you alright?"I nod. "I'm alright, thanks"Kassai approached us. "God, these new recruits are so slow. Were we like that when we first came?"I chuckled at the sheer memory of my first day at the academy. "Even worse, I believe""Alena here was always breaking the rules and skipped her running laps to talk with her parents" Clara reveals."She was as worse as they come"I threw a jab at her. "No one asked you""Volkyvan, Micheal, Mitch, Axel" Deputy Lee calls out to us from the podium. "Get on here""Yes sir!" We chorused in unison. On getting to the podium, he turned us to face the c
