I kept telling myself that nobody had seen me and that I was safe.The more I tried to forget what happened the more I remembered it. I just could not get it out of my head.Every time I heard a siren I thought it was someone coming for me. Every time I heard footsteps outside my motel room I thought someone was going to catch me.I quickly turned off the light. Moved away from the window. My body was shaking badly.I even hid in the corner of the room like a kid. I knew it was silly. I just could not help myself.I was really scared. I was facing something that I could not make go away. It was always with me.What if the police found the car I was in? What if someone had recorded what happened?What if Liam found out what really happened? Just thinking about it made my stomach hurt.I knew Liam would n
Emily's POV The motel room was far too small. Paint came off parts of the walls. The ceiling light blinked once in a while, and a wet smell stuck around the small room.I sat on the side of bed, looking at a suitcase that was the one thing left from my past life.Some weeks back, I was living in a big house. I had a room that was large, helpers, and the name o͏f Robert's wife.Now, I had to add up every buck just to check if I could pay for this motel room for some more days.A bitter laugh escaped me.Everything was gone.Robert had split from me. Rachel did not like me. The home was not mine now.What made me the most mad was that no one tried to hold on to me.Not one.It was as if I had never mattered.My hands clenched tightly on my knees."They're all hypocrites."My voice was barely a whispe
Liam's POVThe pain of losing someone is still with me. It feels just as bad as it did on the day.Now I have this feeling mixed with the pain. It is making my head all cloudy. I do not think clearly.I want to make someone else feel the hurt that I do.I do not like feeling this way. I just cannot help it.Every time I think about Noah lying on the road I get really angry. The anger is so strong that I do not even know who I am anymore.Tomy started talking. His voice was serious this time."We need to be careful." He was looking at me. It was like he was trying to see how I would react.I looked up at him. Our eyes met away."Careful?" I did not even sound like myself. "If Emily really did something we need to make sure we do everything the right way."He was talking calmly. I could see he was tense.I
Liam's POVTomy pushed some photographs across the table to me. His face was really serious."We found some video from a gas station near where the accident happened."I picked up the pictures. They showed a SUV.It was the car that was in the police video. My heart started beating"We were able to make out the license plate number." Tomy said.My heart was beating harder now. I felt a bad feeling coming over me.I looked at the paper. Then I just froze.The name of the car's owner was there on the page.Emily.My hand started shaking. I kept staring at the name.Part of me hoped that the letters would change or something. Part of me really hoped I was reading it wrong.It did not change. The name was still Emily.I slowly sat down in my chair. My body felt really heavy.Deep down I had already thoug
Liam's POV I was looking at the computer screen at work when my phone shook. It has been about two weeks since Noah left.Two weeks which felt like a bad dream that would not stop. During these days, I worked harder than ever.Not for the reason I wished to. Being still for a long time always took my mind back to Noah.Back to the shore. Back to the red stuff, the ambulance? the room where they cut him open, and when the doctor said my boy could not be helped.My phone shook again. Tomy's name showed on the screen, and I picked up right away."Tomy."His voice was much more solemn than normal. That by itself made my heart squeeze."Mr Liam, I think you need to go to an office right now."My jaw got tight right away. A bad sense sat deep in me."What happened?"A few seconds went by in silence. Then Tomy spoke at last."We iden
Emily’s POVI stood in the living room with eyes. The house felt unfamiliar now.Years of memories existed within those walls. None of them belonged to me anymore.Now I was being forced to leave. The reality felt impossible to accept.Robert grabbed one of the suitcases. He dragged it outside without hesitation.I followed with steps. My legs felt weak beneath me.“Robert."My voice cracked. He never looked back.The front door opened wide. One by one my suitcases were placed outside.That was when I saw Rachel. She stood a distance away.Her eyes watched everything unfold. A small spark of hope ignited inside me.Rachel. At least she would defend me.At least she would say something. At least she would stop this.“Rachel."Fresh tears slipped down my cheeks. My voice sounded fra
Sienna's POV “Yes! It’s sturdy!" He knocked on the block with pride. The tower shook a bit. I naturally stopped breathing. Noah did well. We stayed. It kept standing. Noah let out a brea
Sienna's POV I gave a nod even though that wasn’t the conclusion I was aiming for.Liam inclined his head attempting to understand what my quietness meant. "Hey, feel free to be truthful. I won’t get angry.”I gave a bitter chuckle. "I simply don’t want the events
Sienna's POVThis morning seems more peaceful than normal. Perhaps it’s because I had a night’s sleep. Perhaps it’s because Liam stayed next to me throughout the night. I’m not sure. All I’m certain of is that when I step into the kitchen my heart continues to feel warm.I can s
Liam's POV Emily eventually drifted off to sleep likely due to the medication the nurse administered to help her relax. Her breathing had evened out her expression serene despite the lingering puffiness, from her tears still apparent.She rested on her side with the blanket dra
