Falling Just as Hard Chapter 47
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
Falling Just as Hard Chapter 48
My heavy heart starts to feel lighter and the atmosphere becomes a little soothing. “I will, I’ll find a way to handle our parents, I only need time.”Thoughts of the possible outcomes move through my head as fast as it comes. On the bright side I have the answer to Mr. Adams request. I won’t tie Jess further down with a child for my own benefit, and I’ll do as I said.Find her best friend and set her free. I have to find a way to make father transfer his properties to me while I’m still married to Jess.I can do whatever once I have them, divorcing and letting Jess go would follow while I figure out my next step. “She’s lucky to have you,” Jess suddenly.“Who?” I ask in confusion.“The girl you love, she’s lucky to have your heart,” she explains then looks out the window. “I often wonder if someone will ever love me like that you know. I mean my own parents don’t even love me, they see me as a property to own and use whenever they deem fit.”“If it makes you feel any better my fami

For the time the noise in the classroom doesn’t faze him, only because he’s thinking of something else, of someone else. Bryan watched the phone on his desk sit there in silence, mocking him for its lack of ringing.He had contemplated so many times about along Alexis and knowing if she was back at the office. He also wanted to know if his dickhead of a boyfriend made a fuss after he left. A strong tap on the shoulder has him looking up. “Hello Ms. Tessie,” he mutters with a smile even though she’s the last person he wants to see.Red lips spread into a wide smile blink back at him. “How are you doing today honey? Didn’t know you were back from recess.”He wished he could hide under his desk just to get away from her.Don’t get him wrong, Tessie was a beauty. The blonde curls and light blue eyes did a very good job. Only problem was, she wanted him but he wanted another. “I’ve been here for a while, have a couple things to take care of before I get back to the staff room.” “Everyo

They both stood, watching her father’s car roll off the driveway. That was a close save, Alexis thought. The talk about getting married was making her light headed. It was the reason she had panicked when Bryan’s call had come in. She felt guilty for wanting to go with him on a picnic, at the same time felt bad for having to turn him down.The best thing would be for her to give him space while she sorted out her feelings. Not withstanding her feelings the pressure to be with Jake was becoming so much she was tempted to just give in.“Don’t worry about him, I’m sure he’s only teasing you,” Jake said, noting the frown lines that had made its way into her expression. He didn’t like it, and it made him to feel that way.“Knowing him he’s thinking about it for real,” she said, absentminded. “I’m off to the office, I’ll see you later?” She said it like a question but didn’t wait the slightest bit for an answer. Being dismissed like that hurt Jake’s ego so he grabbed her before she coul

OLIVIAThe phone rings continuously as I tried to put things in order, wasn't so sure it would be my mom so I reluctantly dropped the hand towel on the table and reach for my phone."Hello" I called out."Hey, umm Olivia it's Jake" the person on the other end answered.I went mute in a second, hearing Jake's voice alone pisses me off, why would he be calling for heavens sake."Olivia please can we meet, maybe the hall down the road?" He asked.He wasn't mad. Was he?I was quiet and didn't say a word not this time again. "Please I need to see you, we need to talk" he begged.

I met Drew’s brother the next day when they came over for lunch. There was something weird about him, especially with the way he kept staring at me from across the table.He was nothing like Drew. Sure, they look alike but it ends there. Don’s eyes are nothing like his brother’s beautiful ones. It’s the same hazel, except Don’s are the kind that peers into your soul and unravels your deepest secret. His gaze pierced through me, making me stand up from the table.“Is the food not to your taste Carrie?” Mother asked in annoyance. I immediately picked up my cutlery and started to eat.“Why are you encouraging her to eat?” Cassie said beside me. “If anything she needs to starve if you ask me. I’m not sure she’ll be able to go through the door at this rate.” She said it all with a smile.I lowered my head so my hair could fall to the sides. It served as a wall so I wouldn’t see the look of disapproval on Drew’s face. For the first time I didn't have an appetite and the chicken breast the C
