Falling Just as Hard Chapter 50
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

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

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
