Snow "That was very stupid of you." "I know." "You could've gotten killed." "I know." "I'm not going to help you with this." He shakes his head in disagreement. "Please James." I plead. "Maybe you don't remember what I said to you while we were dating and when I broke up with you," That hurt a bit. "But I'll say it anyway, you cannot put your life on the line for a story. Those people probably tested that drug on you. If they find out that you're remembering your past, they'll come for you and they'll kill you." "But-" "No buts, Lily. Leave this for the police and stay safe. I'd mostly stay indoors if I were you. In fact, that's what you should do." "See, the police are already on the case but there are loopholes. I can help them but they won't let me. I want to finish this on my own. I will finish what I started." "Then I won't help you." I hold his wrist when he gets up to leave. I give him pleading eyes. He shakes his head and walks out of the bar. "Stay safe Lily." He sa
Cody "Why are we here? I thought I told you I'm not coming back." "I want you to listen to me." "Listen to what? Whatever you have to say, doesn't matter now after a month. I'm not hearing any explanations." She argues. After I rescued Snow from those goons that tried to hurt her, we sat in the car in uncomfortable silence. Then she talked and it escalated into an argument. Every point she stated hit me like a blow to my stomach because I was guilty. I couldn't deny it. When Sam and Lee left the office, I just decided to see Snow and talk to her. And maybe, just maybe, when I accept the fact that I'm in love with her, she'll run into my arms. I asked Joseph about the whereabouts of Snow and he told me. On my way to her location, I saw her being carried into an alleyway by a group of punks. Then I helped her and brought her home. "Cody, take me back to Sam's. I have a boyfriend now. And that's Lee." "I'm aware of that. Don't rub it in my face." I mutter but she hears me. "So you
Cody “I don’t like you.” Snow responds too quickly. “And yet you’re here listening to me.” “I’m here because you won’t let me go. I don’t like you.” She retorts. “Do you like Lee?” “I like Lee.” “Do you really like him? I’m looking out for my little brother.” “You’re looking for a way to get me. I really like Lee, Cody. Feelings don’t just happen. They grow as you get to know someone.” “So what I’m hearing is that you don’t believe in love at first sight?” I shift towards her. Biscuit jumps off her lap and runs out. “Don’t twist my words. I never said that. I like Lee. Period.” She folds her arm over her chest with a scowl. Why is she so stubborn? “Honestly, I’m jealous and I'm trying to have you for me. At the same time, I’m saving my brother from a heartbreak. Lee isn't the kind of person that settles down with one woman. But maybe he likes you. I don't want him to go through what I went through.” “I won’t break his heart. And you should know that you’re a month late.” Sh
Snow I run after Cody after he leaves me flustered on the couch with a red face. Meeting him at the staircase, I call his name to stop him from climbing up. He turns around with a smug grin tugging at his lips. "Please don't tell Lee or Sam or anyone that I was attacked today." "Why not?" He frowns. "They'll stop me from doing what I'm doing. And don't ask me because I won't tell you what it is." "Then I won't ask. But at least the police need to know." I raise a brow. "Are you sure you won't ask?" "Why bother if you won't tell me?" He rolls his eyes. "I'm not going to waste my time forcing that out of you. You'll come to me and you'll tell me all by yourself." The nerve he has to sound cocky. "That's not gonna happen. Just don't tell anyone. Maybe you can tell the police that I almost lost my life today, but don't tell them I was wondering around looking for–" I instantly clap my hand over my mouth and Cody snickers. "I told you you'll spill. Just let me know when you're read
Snow “Oh really?” I laugh nervously. “Snow, I know you have feelings for Cody. The way you looked at him confirmed it.” “What? No.” I quickly deny. “Don’t act Snow, I know you like him.” I sigh in defeat and look straight ahead, leaning against the handrail. “Yeah, I like Cody. He’s even told me that he likes me. But I'm not sure if I should believe him.” “Why not?” she knits her brows together. “Cody told me about his feelings for me months ago. But he also said that he was fighting it and that if I had any sort of feelings for him, then I should fight it too. And I did, because why should I have feelings for someone who's fighting the feelings he has for me? And now that he has stopped fighting what he feels for me, I'm not sure if I should also stop fighting.” “Because you're afraid of getting hurt.” Kylie finishes for me, I nod in agreement. “Snow, you don’t have to think too much about this. Just follow where your heart leads you. Do you know why, I'm not in a relationship?
Snow “I’m not just going to sit back. If the pool wasn’t filled, I would’ve died. This is my life were talking about. Kesha needs to be arrested for what she did to me.” Cody heaves a deep sigh and moves towards my bed. “You guys have to believe me.” Tears start falling down my cheeks. “Snow,” He begins, “We need to let the police know what’s going on. This is the third accident.” “Third?” Lee and Sam turn their heads to look at him. I shake my head vigorously when his eyes meet mine. “Yes, third.” He confirms. He cuts me off before I’m able to deny. “Snow got attacked the night before and almost got killed if I hadn’t been there.” “What?” Lee exclaims. “Why didn’t you ever say anything?” “You’re not supposed to know.” I answer in a whisper. “You’re supposed to tell us, we’re supposed to be protecting you. If you don’t tell us this, how are we supposed to be doing that?” Sam scolds. “Did any of us do something to make you not tell us?” Lee asks sadly. “No. You didn’t do anythi
Cody I head straight to Kesha's apartment. How could she? Is she going to keep doing this? She is indeed crazy. I need to find a way to end this before it gets out of hand. "Kesha?" I bang on her door and within minutes, she lets me in. "I was wondering when you'd come to me." She says with a smirk. "You pushed her off the balcony into the pool." I roared. "She is a little snitch." She cackles, looking straight at me. "Is that the only thing she told you?" I follow her to the kitchen. "Are you going to stop blackmailing me?" I ask her with a hard tone. "If she plans on staying away, then yes. But if she doesn't, then I'll make sure she does." "You stay away from Snow. She has done nothing wrong." I warn her. "Having feelings for you is what she has done wrong." She mumbles and sips her coffee. "She's not your type Cody. Can't you see that?" I roll my eyes. "Look at me. I'm perfect for you." "You're crazy. What is it that you want? Money?" She throws her head back and laughs.
Snow “Cody, you never told me about my job.” He looks up at me from his food. “Your boss is an asshole and so is your co-worker.” “And you didn’t think to ask me first?” I raise a brow at him, gently placing down my fork. “You don’t need a job, Snow.” “And why not?” I narrow my eyes at him. “Because you don’t need it. You can ask me if you need something.” He says and picks up his glass of juice. “Don’t be ridiculous. I want to work. I want my own money, not yours. I’m not your wife or your girlfriend who can depend on your for her needs.” He smirks at me. “Cody, I’m serious. If you don’t want me snooping around because I’m idle, then I’ll have to find myself a job.” “I’ll let you work with the Police, if you agree not to do anything stupid. You’ll be under their protection at least.” He says after deep thinking of what I said to him. I beam at him. “Are you serious?” he nods. “Well, I wanted to work alone, but I’ll take it. Thank you so much, Cody.” “Don’t mention it. What w
