SECRETS CHAPTER 20
KAHLAN, SANDINO, JAMES, AND BROOKE "Everyone knows," Brooke replied quietly to James, after pulling him down by the gym hallway, in total isolation for the time being. It was still pretty early. Most students were either in the cafeteria or out on the courtyard. James chuckled as if it were a joke. Brooke wasn't the type to freak out unless it came to Sandino or Carly. And based on her attitude, it was. "Will you relax? No one knows anything. Its speculation." He had heard about the rumors. Many people have asked questions, but of course, him being the man that he was, he kept it a secret. Mysteries, secrets... that was all he was about. It was fun to him. It was a game. "Its not speculation, if its true," Brooke murmured, crossing her arms, staring her private lover down. James looked at her. "Did you talk to Ashley?" It was strange to James that Brooke cared whether or not Ashley would tell Carly. In realty she should be worried about the entire school, since she believed everyone

KAHLAN, SANDINO, JAMES, AND BROOKE James stared past the pretty brunette with a smile of satisfaction. "What?" Brooke asked. The buff man lifted up his hand, and with his index finger, pointed down the hall. Brooke turned, spotting Sandino with another girl. Her face practically hit the floor. James chuckled some more, this time a bit looming. Her facial expression was priceless. Brookes plan was to break up with James, and focus on Sandino. Its funny how things turned out. "Yeah," I said with a smile, trying to catch my breath, "Just like that." There was a look of realization in Sandino's eyes. Was he just as surprised by this moment as I was? "You look nervous." I chuckled, shaking my head ever so slightly. "No. Not at all." I lied. To be honest, I hadn't been in such a close proximity with a male in a while. He grinned. He had a nice smile. I held the fabric from his gray and black boy band shirt in my fingers tightly. "Is this working?" I moved my head to the side just a bit
SECRETS CHAPTER 22
JAMES AND CARLY Carly had run across the football field and to the back entrance of the gym. She was getting ready to open the door and head inside, When James grabbed her by her slim arm, and whirled her around. Her baby blue eyes were red and watery, but no tears seemed to make their way out. Right now, she seemed more stunned than anything. He looked at her, thinking he had the right words to say, but it seemed he didn't. She stared with hope. "Please tell me it isn't true," She sniffled. James pulled her a little closer. "Please tell me James." He stared. In the end there were only two ways he could answer this. One was to lie, while the other was to tell the truth. He was mean, but he wasn't that mean. After all, he loved Carly. He would never break her heart, at least that's what he told himself. "Of course not," he lied. His hard eyes were soft and caring. Carly stared into them. "Baby, I love you." "Then what was that back there? What was Justin talking about? Why did it so
SECRETS CHAPTER 23
CARLY AND BROOKE Brooke sat at the table alone, waiting for Carly. She wondered the reason as to why Carly was late. Maybe she found out! Her mind was going crazy. Carly was the best person in her life. She was always so sweet and caring, and Brooke hated herself for what she had done. What would she do if she ever lost Carly? She took a deep calming breath. It didn't matter, she told herself. She had been lying to her for so long, it had to be stopped. By the end of the day she was going to come clean to Carly. No secrets are better left kept. Besides, she hated the guilt she was feeling. Carly stormed up, taking a seat. Brooke sat quietly. Oh yes, something was wrong. She looked very upset. Just be quiet, Brooke thought. If she knows, she will talk to you. She waited a few short moments and she felt like she couldn't take it anymore. "Whats wrong?" Brooke asked, breathing the silence. Carly glanced over at her best friend. "You look mad." Brooke could always read Carly's expression
SECRETS CHAPTER 24
KAHLAN AND CHAD The day finally ended. It was short at first, but everything now seemed to be dragging along. I headed quietly to the bus, getting in the back of a very long line, waiting to climb aboard. I laid my head against the metal below the window, letting out a sigh. God, I wish I had my own car. I wish I didn't have therapy. I wished for so many things at this particular moment. "Hey, where are you going?" Chad asked, running up. He startled me a bit. "Home," I said softly with a smile. "You don't want a ride?"I stared the chocolate young man in his face, thinking over the idea. Was I to turn down his offer because of the destination I was heading to? I took a quick glance around, wondering where the other guys were. "The guys are staying after for football." He must've been able to read minds. What was the harm in a ride? I gave a nod. "Um, yeah, sure, But I'm actually not going straight home." I wanted to hit myself in the face for lying. Why wasn't I honest? I could ha
SECRETS CHAPTER 25
CARLY Carly tried her hardest not to think about her dad being home while she was at school. If she did, it would cause her mind to wander and she wouldn't pay attention to what was going on in class. Her dad was the best person she had in her life. He was a hard worker. She understood that work would require him to be gone for days, even weeks at a time. So when he was home, she made it her mission to spend as much time with him as possible. When the school day ended, she felt joy. After all, she wouldn't be going home to an empty house. She really hated that her car was down and out for the time being, and the fact that her boyfriend seemed too busy to offer her a ride home. So, she took the bus. The bus ride seemed so slow that Carly thought she was going to lose her mind. Eventually, she made it home, practically skipping up the few steps that led to the porch. She walked into the house with a grin on her face, only to see bags and suitcase sitting next to the door. Her mouth drop
SECRETS CHAPTER 26
KAHLAN AND DAMON I found myself back in Damon Meir's office. His green eyes stared into my face, as I looked back at him. There was an awkward. I cleared my throat. "Sooo?" He straightened himself up in his giant chair, as if he were trying to figure out how to get the ball rolling today. As I waited, I thought about Damon apologizing. I mean, he did it so much to Tina, but I, the actual patient, wouldn't get a sorry. "So, lets start simple today," Damon finally started, "I know yesterday was hard, and I am going to take full responsibility for that. I do apologize." That's what I wanted, among a list of other things, like walking out the door and never coming back. "It's fine," I replied. "Its not like I was making it easier on you." He gave a soft smile. "So, we are agreeing to start over. Begin a friendship?" A friendship? Why did it feel like I would be making a commitment if I said yes? God, why did I have to overthink everything? "I don't really have another choice," I said
SECRETS CHAPTER 27
THE TWINS Mya waited in the living room downstairs, flipping through channels. Nothing was on that would help pass the time. Amy said it wouldn't take her long to get ready, but she was nowhere to be found. Instead, she was up in her bedroom, and hadn't come out the last two hours. Mya was starting to question if her sister was still alive. She took a deep breath, as she got chills on her bare arms and legs. It was bad enough that she was wearing a dress, but she had to accompany it with heels. God, she was upset with Amy for getting her into this. And she was really upset with the wait. Her date would be here soon, and she'd be damned if she had to entertain Amy's company so she could finish getting ready. Mya turned off the TV and slid off the couch onto her feet, trying to keep her balance. Amy insisted that she stop being a baby, because the heels weren't that high. Mya, however, did not care. Heels were heels. They were not sneakers or house shoes, which is what she was comfortab
