LOGIN“Anyway,” Lilly drawls, stretching, “where were you headed just now?”“Breakfast.”“Oh good,” she claps her hands. “I’m starving, but we’re not going downstairs. We’ll just have our meal here.”I don’t argue. Just seeing Noah earlier feels like it drained every ounce of energy from my soul.After br
Sierra.“Uhm… hello?” I say, leaning back against the wall.The scene unfolding in front of me is eerily similar to yesterday except this time, Lilly is here. She’d told me before she left that she was heading to the meeting and would be back before I woke up so we could plan something to do.Appare
The words are right there on my tongue. Every reason why I would never, not in this lifetime, give her a chance... But then everything inside me freezes.I try to fight the thoughts. Try to bury them, to forget them, but they keep resurfacing like an unwanted fucking rash.My hand clenches. My heart

Releasing a breath, I try to steady my heart. This is one conversation I never thought I would have with Lilly at this age. The one thing I’m grateful for though, is that she didn’t ask where exactly babies come from. That would have been a very difficult conversation.“I need to head to my room rea
“Hi, Calvin,” her cheery voice pulls me from my thoughts.I smile and stand up. I give her a hug and then peck her rosy cheeks.I met Kinley by chance at a convention building and construction convention. She’s an architect. We just clicked in a way I never saw coming. Her witty and charming ways dr
“What are you thinking about?” Gabriel asks while pulling me into the ballroom where others were dancing.After dinner, there were speeches and then everyone was free to mingle and enjoy the party.My eyes immediately spot Ava and Rowan. They looked like they were in their own little world as they g
I continue staring at my brother. It’s suddenly hitting me that I’ve been so lost with what’s happening in my life that I failed to notice anyone else around me.That’s the thing with depression.
