Wrong Table
Emily and I laughed our way into the ranch from the woods like the good old times. We enjoyed our little race so much that we forgot we were running from something.
I crouched to scratch the ear of a calf snuggling on my leg. It hummed in appreciation as I kept on scratching its head. Emily touched my shoulder trying to draw my attention.
“Girl you don’t wanna miss this, trust me”…
I looked up and followed her gaze to Bay and Claire seated on the front step of the porch. Bay is seated on the top while Claire is at a lower step seated in-between his legs. Her head against his chest and his arms wrapped around her. Claire was showing him something in her phone and they are convulsing with laughter. I wonder what could be so funny in Claire's phone that'd make Bay laugh so much. C'mon he rarely even smile. A flash of pain Pierced through my heart and I was battling to control my heavy breathing.
“are you okay?” Emily asked. Squeezing a com

Jake casted me a look and snorted, the corner of his mouth curl up in a smirk.I pointed at my house and he pulled up. “I am very sorry about what happened tonight. I'm embarrassed that you had to see that . The dinner didn’t go as well as I had planned but I'd do better next time" he throws me an apologetic look.

I came back from school with a wielded mind to get even. My phone was buzzing with text messages and calls from Jake but I was not in the mode to talk to anyone. Bay stood and watched me bullied by his circle without standing to my defense, and Claire ridiculed me in front of many student. Too much trouble for one day. I didn’t want anyone adding to my already lined up of problems I made my way to the basement to look for my mum’s old guitar. I haven’t stringed in a long time, and I do not have much time to practice. Tomorrow, is either I get a standing ovation or get booed. I was prepared for either of them. I didn’t want Claire thinking that her threats was the reason I withdrew from the audition. I have to be there, no matter what.

FATAL DESIRE Love Triangle
…Jake crossed his arms, leaning against the doorframe. I stood in shock for a moment. He stared, towering my face. Between the two brothers, i can’t tell which is more weird. One just jumped out through my bedroom window and the other is staring right at me in the front door. “why do you look so shocked? Are you going to let me in or not! He asked. I stepped back to let him in. He stalked into the living room and plopped on the couch like he’d been here many times. I closed the door and braced myself to knock him off of his effrontery. I hurried to where he was seated forcibly trying to keep a straight face. “What are you doing here Jake?” I tightened my vocal as much as possible. “I was worried about you. You didn’t pick my calls and you probably left my messages unread" he said, raising his eyebrow with a smirk. “Jake you should leave” I said meanly.&n

My chin rested in my hand as I drool to the wall clock counting out the seconds left in my head… 5,4,3,2, and before the bell chimed I was already on my feet. I heard Emily call out to me and without looking back at her i grabbed my guitar and breezed through the hallway into the audition room. A little queue of hopeful singers winds around the room.
