Chapter Eighteen
Emily Collins.
A vaguely familiar voice whispers in my ear and I shiver, grasping that voice further and pulling it deeper into my memory box.
I'm roughly turned around in the person's arms by the rough and tight hold they have on my arms, turning me to face them and my eyes immediately opening, coming face to face with one of my longest most favorite nightmares.
Electric green eyes.
They stare back at me, too.
With all sorts of emotions and feelings swirling in those orbs.
His tall height hovers over me, casting a huge and dark shadow over and around my small figure, so daringly and threatening that I gulp, my throat suddenly to dry and my heart suddenly to loud, silently cursing to myself in my mixed up head.
“Elizabeth Kingsley,” He softly breaths.
My heart,
My stom

Emily Collins.Mistakes.They were crazy.And obsessive, always in your mind, reminding you about how mad you've messed everything up, always.It was a never ending thing with my mind, always debating and fighting and messing me up on the inside. I never regretted my mistake but I owned up to it, but never regret, until last night— of course after seeing him again after all these years and the way he just. . . left like that.Tiredness, thick and heavy, coursed throughout me.Last night, that meeting with him, it had really drained a lot of my energy, I'll admit that much.Archer's letting legs and feet were swinging back and forth and he kept humming a familiar beat underneath his breath as he sat on the counter and watched me make him warm honeyed milk with a pinch of ginger in it but I didn't tell him th

Emily Collins.Kacie had been keeping contact with Connor about the wedding plans with her sister, thankfully, I wasn't the one to keep contact with her because I knew I might as well as death to take me himself if I were to see or speak to her again.Ridiculous and pathetic, I knew that.I had agreed to meet with the bride herself, obviously she didn't know who I was yet so I didn't know what to expect.Did she change?Or was she just the same?I was way too eager to find out but also, I was scared.Always expect the unexpected they say.That's what I'm doing right now, I guess, in this café far from our town and into the next town, the more calm and peaceful town.Rose's café was the best. I always would come here when I was younger, that was years back no

Emily Collins.Asher was making this harder than it already is for me, especially after dropping that he isn't a father— well he is, he just doesn't know that, yet. But god, he is seriously making it so damn hard, especially when he behaves like that.As if his suddenly forgotten everything, my running away and disappearing for years, only to just now appear out of nowhere.I know what he must be thinking right now.He must expect everything to go back to that— it's not even right to call it normal because it was crazier than crazy but whatever it was, his expecting everything to be the same now that I'm back here in this horrible, dream crushing town.It won't ever be the same though.I knew that all, too, well.A heavy sigh falls from my lips and I shake my head, trying to calm myself down but really, I feel anything but cal

Alex"Archer, run along." I wave him off into the play area of the mall while I take a seat on the vacant bench, allowing myself to finally relax.The little scamp doesn't listen to me, again! He just follows me and takes a seat next to me, oh my fucking god. Groaning out loud, I throw my head back and ask god what the fuck did I do to deserve this."So you do like her then?" Archers small, inquisitive voice asks me the same question, again.I eye him curiously from the corner of my eye before turning to face him. I glare at the small, yet cute, annoying little boy but as usual he stays unaffected and stares back at me with curiosity."For the last time, Archer!" I point at him. "No!"He smiles at me. It's that devilish smile that tells me I just dug my own grave.I don't know why he chose me as his tar

Emily Collins.Darkness with neon lights are what my eyes took in first and my ears heard the loud booming music with screams, laughing and chatter of the people scattered around the place, everywhere.It was hot in here, so hot and sweaty and the smell of fake smoke and alcohol mixed into the air. It smelt. . . weird, like a weird fruit or something and that made me stop to think if I had mistakenly drank something I wasn't supposed to.The first and last time I had ever been inside a club was years ago when I was seventeen and thought I could conquer the world with my bare hands— ha! That's a fucking dead loaded dream.Indigo, Connor and I had made fake ID's.Everything was going great for the first few seconds.Until he showed up and dragged my ass back home.His fingers dug into my bare hips as he tugged me towards

Emily.I breath out a sigh in relief but when he turns around to glare at me, my breath hitches.I gasp at his dark, angry eyes and at the dark menacing look on him. I take a wary step back away from him. His eyes catch onto the movement and he growls at me making me stop.My mouth opens and closes, unsure on what to say but I feel the need to say something, anything. . . I just can't find the words."I told you!" He hisses, taking a step closer to me. "I fucking warned you!" He growls, taking one last step to be right in front of me but I don't allow it. I move away again.We continue our back and forth until there's no where for me to go. My back hits the wall and I internally curse at myself when he steps right in front of me, blocking my view and blocking anyone from seeing me."What did I tell you?" He asks.I gulp, looki

Emily.Minutes later of me pushing and shoving my way through people dancing, people talking and laughing, and couples making out, dry humping each other . . . yeah I might have pushed them a little harder than the rest.I find my drunk friends sitting in a booth while gulping down more drinks. I roll my eyes and start to make my way over to them.They definitely weren't concerned about me disappearing.“Hey guys, having fun?” I ask, smirking at the drunk group who are all chatting to each other rather loudly.Four widen pairs of eyes stare back at me and then their all laughing leaving me confused and lost about what we're supposed to be laughing at until I realized that their laughing at me.I frown, opening my mouth to ask them what's so funny when a pair of arms slide around my waist, pulling me towards a hard chest. I close my mouth whi

Emily.My head hurts.It's like a someone's continuously banging against my skull with a hammer. It's a awful feeling and I know exactly why I'm feeling like this. It's because of me, it's my fault. I drank way to much than I intended to and now here I am . . . suffering with the horrible consequences of my stupid decisions last night.My body and mind are slowly waking up from their long, comfortable and peaceful slumber, allowing me feel and hear things around me.I could feel a warm arm lazily slung over my waist. I knew a body was behind me because I could feel their body heat radiating off of them. I could feel their breath fanning across my neck and I could hear the evened out breathing.I slowly open my eyes, allowing them to get used to the bright light of the sun that beams through opened window and black curtain.A slight chilly breeze flows through
