“It's time for school, Kai.” I whispered, gently jerking him awake. His eyes popped open and I smiled at him, placing a kiss on his forehead.

“Get up, let's get you ready for school.” I said to him, pulling the covers off of him.

“Brush your teeth, I'll be back.” I instructed him, ruffling his hair as I walked out of the room, heading for Kayla's room.

I pushed the door open and found the room empty. I looked around, the bathroom, the closet, under the covers, and fear began to run thro

    ALICIA"What's what?" She asked her head immediately snapping back to it's original position: lowered to the desk, her eyes set on the microscope. I scanned the part of her jaw I had seen the scar but it was less visible now she had lowered her head. "There was definitely a scar on your jaw," I said, my voice sounding more like a mumble to myself. "I saw it right now." I added, her ignorance starting to make me doubt myself and my sight."I don't know what you're talking about, unfortunately." She replied, her voice the lowest I had heard since Aunt Darla introduced her to me at her office."Jade," I called out to her, my voice softening. For some reason, I actually felt bad for her. I retreated to my seat, focusing my eyes on the sample in front of me, momentarily lifting my gaze to Jade's lowered face. All through the examination, I couldn't concentrate on the sample I was observing, or the multiple blood samples I was trying to sort.I watched her closely from the corner of my ey

    ALICIA“From careful observations and proper medical examination,” I paused, taking a deep breath as I flipped the page on my clipboard, my heart in my throat as my eyes roamed the audience in front of me.“That's the diagnosis for Mr. Pearsons.” I announced to the active group of medical researchers watching me closely, a smile plastered to my face and it only widened as my eyes landed on Jade's face squeezed with anger, or was it jealousy? I held back my laughter, snorting quietly instead. My smile wiped off my face when I looked around and realised the one person that always cheered me on was missing, the one face with a plastered smile was gone and I had no way of knowing how to get him back. Well, I hadn't even tried, I was too scared to.For some reason, this argument didn't feel like the rest when he came back with an apology, I couldn't see us coming back from that anytime soon.I had spent the past few days focusing on work, avoiding any vulnerable spots with Killian in wha

    ALICIA“Love…?” my voice trailed as his words sank into me.Did my best friend just profess feelings for me?“You what?” I asked him, his face red with anger, his chest heaving with exhaustion. I stepped forward, placing a hand over his arm.“I’ve loved you since the day I met you, and I’ve always been the one by your side while he was the one destroying you, so please don't tell me you’re choosing him over me.” he blurred out.“Choose who? Killian?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “Zach, what are you saying?” I asked again, confusion etched on my face. “I know it was all for nothing but I still decided to try, to prove to myself that maybe, just maybe I could deserve love.” He chuckled, his gaze fixed on something past my shoulder.“Whe–how did this start?” My voice came off as a whisper. “Why didn't you tell me?” I added.“Tell you?” He scoffed. “I was waiting for the right moment, the right time t–” he paused, suddenly shaking his head.“Zach…” I extended a hand to him b

    ALICIAThe doctor finished wrapping the bandage around my ankle, the white cloth tight against my skin, as he looked up with a small nod to tell me that it was just a simple sprain and I would be back on my feet in no time. As he packed up his bag and headed for the door, I looked over at Killian and saw his facial expression soften until the lines of the billionaire businessman were completely gone, leaving behind only the man who had stayed up all night to watch over our daughter. I found myself smiling back at him before I could even think to stop myself, the warmth in my chest spreading until I felt like I was glowing. “Killian, I’m sorry about last night,” I whispered, looking down at my hands. “I shouldn't have flared up like that about the help, I guess I was just overwhelmed and I took it out on you.”Killian brushed it off with a quick wave of his hand and his voice got more serious as he stepped closer to the couch. “It’s okay, Alicia, really,” he said, his eyes searching

    ALICIA “Is mum going to be okay?” I heard Kai's voice through the door, their shadows cast a contrast to the only light that came through the open space under the door.I dragged myself up, rubbing my eyes till I could see the light without the blurriness. Sitting up, a harsh headache hit my head, pushing me back to the bed. I lifted my head to the bedside table, the half empty vodka bottle staring back at me.I pulled the covers off my body, fighting the hangover and staggered to the bathroom, heading to the toilet as I threw up whatever I had left inside my stomach.I held myself up on the toilet seat, trying to catch my breath as I pulled myself up to the bathtub, sprinkling water on my face.“Kai? Kayla?” I called out, my voice barely above a whisper as I struggled to drag myself down the stairs but I got no response. I paused when I got to the kitchen, it was spotless, but not only spotless.There was a laidout breakfast on the table. As my stomach rumbled in request, I looked a
