Chapter 3 - Darkness
Last Updated:
2024-06-26 17:25:39An hour later I walk into the house with five grocery bags plastered to my body. I could have made a couple of trips to the car to get everything into the house but I don't have time for that. But that means I'm balancing eggs, milk and vinegar with every inch of my body so they don't fall.
Now I have to admit I'm crazy for doing this but I'm almost there. When I get to the kitchen I slide my whole body down so I can place the bags down without breaking anything. I'm glad no one is here to see this because I'm sure I look stupid. If the fate of a dozen eggs wasn't in my hand I would have laughed. I breathe a sigh of relief when everything is safely placed on the ground. Now I have to put it away. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20 minutes later "Mom," I call out at her bedroom door. I doubt she's awake yet. I didn't hear any movement from her room when I woke up earlier and there's still no movement now. "I made you breakfast" I and push the door open with the tray in my hands. I walk into the dark room heading for her bed. "Mom, are you awake?" I ask when I don't get a response. "I'm up baby," She says her voice hoarse, like she hasn't spoken in a long time. "I have food for you here," I say walking to the empty side of the bed. I place the tray on the bed and watch her turn slowly to look towards me. "Thank you. You're the sweetest." She says sitting up. I wait for her to reach for the food but she doesn't instead she closes her eyes like she's falling back to sleep. "You're going to eat right?" ask and she opens her eyes so quickly that I frightened her. "Yes, yes." She says and she reaches for the tea. I watch her take a sip and then she takes a slice of toast. I stand there waiting for her to get in a few bites before I leave. I hate doing this but if I don't she's not going to eat. I don't want to go through another weekend where she collapses because she didn't eat enough. "This is really good, thank you." She says and I smile. I want her to eat some of the eggs and sausage but she's just biting at the toast. "The eggs are great too. They might be the best eggs I've made in a very long time." I say gently coaxing her to eat more. She smiles but she doesn't eat any of it. "I'll be in my bedroom if you need anything," I say walking out. I don't want to fight with her. She'll eat more if she wants to. I can't force her. I'll come back and try to convince her to eat lunch. But for now, I have 4 hours to not worry about her eating habits.

I'm in love with my gangster boyfriend Chapter 2011 - Do I want to be here?
The holidays are over.It’s supposed to be my first day back at school, but I’m still sitting on my bed, staring at my watch like I can force the hands to move backward. The seconds keep sliding away, taunting me. Each one pushes me closer to the moment I’m supposed to get up, put on my uniform, and walk out the door.But I can’t.I’ve spent more than ten days shutting the world out, and I wish I could keep doing it forever. I’ve been safe here, in the quiet, where no one can look at me with pity or curiosity, where no one can ask questions I can’t answer. Here, I don’t have to think about what happened—at least, not out loud.But the clock doesn’t care.I know, without looking, th
I'm in love with my gangster boyfriend Chapter 210 - Nothing's changed
It’s been seven days since I came home.Seven long, heavy, suffocating days.I haven’t slept in five of them. Not properly. The last time I truly rested was… I can’t even remember. Every time I close my eyes, the darkness doesn’t stay empty it shifts. It thickens. It pulls me back to that room.And it wasn’t a dungeon. It wasn’t the kind of place you’d expect to haunt someone. There were no cracked walls, no rusty chains, no dirt-stained floors. It was a normal room. A bed with clean sheets, a bathroom with working plumbing, even a small wardrobe with folded clothes. A single window with white curtains that let in soft morning light. If a stranger walked in, they might have thought it was somewhere safe.But it wasn’t.
I'm in love with my gangster boyfriend Chapter 209 - I feel alone
It’s like my body melts into him.All the fight, all the anger, all the fear holding me upright slips away the moment Liam’s arms close around me.I don’t even realize I’m crying until my face is pressed against his chest and I feel the wetness against my own skin. His shirt smells like smoke, like blood, like something dangerous and familiar.Trevor is gone.Dead.I should feel relief. I should feel victorious. But all I feel is this strange, aching emptiness. The space where my fight lived is hollow now, and it’s pulling me down into nothing.I close my eyes, and the world tilts. My knees give out, and Liam holds me tighter. I hear him saying my name his voice breaking in a way I’ve never heard before but it’s far away, muffled, like we’re underwater.I try to open my eyes, to answer him, but I’m so tired. My body is too heavy. My head feels like it’s sinking into his chest.A
I'm in love with my gangster boyfriend Chapter 208 - The cold air in his lungs
For a moment, everything is still.All I can smell is gunpowder, sweat and fear. I've heard people talk about the smell of fear and I didn't know what that meant but today I can smell it. It's thick and heavy and it's vile.But the silence is worse. Like the world ended in seconds.It feels like none of us exist.No more gunshots. No more screaming. Just the wind whispering through the trees, brushing against my skin, carrying the bitter scent of blood, gunpowder, and sweat. It's sharp. It stings. It clings to my skin like smoke, wraps around my lungs like rope.I’m not sure when I stood up. Or how I even made it out of the room. One minute I was hiding in the dark, praying with my fists clenched, and the next, I’m outside. Nathan is leading me by the wrist, saying something I
I'm in love with my gangster boyfriend Chapter 207 - In the dark
The sound of gunfire explodes through the night, deafening and relentless. A machine gun—no, multiple—rips through the air outside, drowning everything else out. I hear men shouting, screaming, and then the screaming turns into something else. Agony. Terror.I clamp my hands over my ears, pressing myself further into the corner of the closet, trying to disappear. My body shakes violently, my breath coming in shallow gasps as I rock back and forth. I squeeze my eyes shut and whisper a prayer under my breath, over and over."Please, God. Please, God. Please, God."The walls tremble with the force of the fight happening outside. Glass shatters somewhere. Heavy footsteps storm through the house. More gunshots. More yelling. I don’t kn
I'm in love with my gangster boyfriend Chapter 206 - Sounds
I wake up with a start, my heart thundering in my chest. My breath comes in ragged gasps, and for a moment, I can’t place where I am. I sit up quickly, expecting to see someone in the room with me—someone coming to hurt me, to take me again—but when my eyes adjust to the dim light, the room is empty.Just the silence.I look around, the weight of everything pressing down on me. This place—the house where Trevor has kept me locked up for weeks—has become a prison. It’s always quiet, too quiet. The only sounds are the distant hum of the outside world that I can’t reach, the creaks of the house settling, and my own restless thoughts.The darkness beyond the window is thick and consuming, the kind of darkness that swallows up the last remnants of hope. But tonight, something is different. Something feels off.I strain my ears, listening closely. There’s a faint sound, like the whisper of something moving through
