Bailey's povThe searing pain shot me like a dart as I grasped my foot, clad with socks. I hated running with my shoes and now regret not wearing them, though J doubted they would've protected me much."Bailey!" Kaleb yelled with a rose of panic and concern. He raced across the field, barreling toward me with a speed I had never seen him use before.I clutch my foot, clenching my teeth as I look down at the damage. Blood had now stained my socks red but I could not see the culprit of my wound on my foot. My fingers are painted with the warm wetness of my blood as I try to stop the bleeding."Baby," Kaleb falls beside me, his trembling hands reaching out for my foot. I hissed and he froze, looking at me worriedly.The P.E teacher was beside us and some of the concerned students surrounded us too. " What happened?" The teacher demanded, his eyes scanning the field for any signs of the culprit."Something sharp," I wince clutching my foot and Kaleb quickly lifts me into his arms, his eye

Bailey's povThe doctor kept my mom updated and said I was okay and they have ensured that the wound will not be infected and cause any future issues. However, they wanted to keep me here for another hour for observation.As he left to tend to the other patients, Dad arrived a few minutes later with Grandma Ryn and Grandpa Ace in tow.I internally winced.Dad rushed over to my side, his face etched with concern as he took my hand in his, squeezing. "Bailey, are you okay?" he asked, his voice filled with worry as his eyes snap to my my injured foot. He glared at it.I nodded. "I'm okay dad, it looks worse than it actually is."As we all engaged in a conversation, Grandma Ryn decided to tense the atmosphere with her next question directed at Kaleb who still had not shifted away from my side."Young man. Can you give us a list of all the girls who could potentially be a threat to my granddaughter's life?"I stiffened, staring at her awkwardly while Kaleb looks flushed. "Are you talking a

Bailey's povHearing my words, Kaleb's eyes widen a bit in surprise, his eyebrows lifting slightly. He cupped my cheek tenderly, leaning forward. "Of course not? Have you forgotten what I said earlier?"My brows furrowed. So many things happened all at once that I can't recall if I missed anything important. The corner of his lips pulled up slightly into a small smile." Have you forgotten so soon baby?" he joked, brushing his thumb down my cheek tenderly. " I admitted that I am very selfish when it comes to you. Very to the point I can't let you go even when I should. Do you think," he whispered, eyes gleaming with so much honesty my heart pounds."I'd ever be able to let you go?" He whispered, leaning forward and kissing me on my forehead. "Wait until I find out who has been doing this to you and I'll drag them to hell myself."—It's been a week and everything has gone to practically normal. There had been no threat against my life or anything out of the ordinary.My wound in my fo

Bailey's pov"So let me get this straight. Out of everyone, you have to tutor Juliet the witch?" Mira snorted, leaning between the driver seat and passenger seat and twisted her head slightly to look at me.I nod. "Yes. I'll earn some extra credit for college and God knows how much I need to get into that university."Mira's brows furrowed. "Speaking about that, which one are you aiming to get into? I can't make up my mind.""Harvard University."Suddenly the car swerves a bit and Kaleb mumbles an apology. I looked at him confused and noticed the deadly grip he had on the poor steering wheel."What the hell Kaleb?!" Mira hissed as she had ended up bumping her head on the seat."Sorry. I got distracted.""By what? Bailey's response? Is lover boy scared to do long distance?" Mira teased which caused Kaleb to spare her a brief glare. She laughed but I didn't find it amusing as I now realize that Kaleb and I never talked about college and what it could mean for the future of us."What col

Bailey's povThe next morning Kaleb picks me up. Mira is slouched in the backseat, half asleep. " My brain is fried, so don't mind me that I look like a dead." Mira moaned when I entered.I giggled, leaning over the counsel to plant a soft kiss on Kaleb's lips seeing him pout when I hadn't yet. He smiled, and pecked me one more time before reluctantly pulling away."Ew uh that's nasty," Mira faked gag. " I don't think I'll ever get used to seeing you two sharing pda. I'm getting shivers and it's not the good kind."I grinned, buckling myself as I teased her. "Then maybe you should finally give Ryan a chance so that way you won't feel like a third wheel anymore."Kaleb twisted around to stare at his sister. "What does she mean Ryan? Ryan as in my best friend Ryan?" His eyes narrowed on Mira.I turn around to look at her and cringe when she sent me a glare. Oops.She sighed, rolling her eyes. "Before you get upset, nothing has happened between us. It's only been flirting and nothing mor

Bailey's povMr Malik was a very young teacher, probably in his late twenties, and was always rather not so friendly. I've heard rumors of him being a delinquent when he was our age but had changed his ways later on.I just never figured Kristina would be into his type, especially an older man who was never approachable. And was a teacher....a teacher here.And from what I know too, he was uncle Ryan's close friend older son. So I was sure Kristina knew of him before he started teaching here.Kristina's shame is clear on her face and the tears resumed down her cheeks. " I-we it kind of just happened."She took a shaky breath, her cheeks flaming with red. " One minute he was telling me about my shitty art skills when we were alone, the next-Her cheeks redden even more and she looked away from us, her eyes darting to the table. "Well you know what happened next.""Did it happen just this once?" Mira whispered, unsure if she wanted to know any further. I couldn't blame her, we were on a

Mira's povI am so embarrassed Bailey and Kristina saw the last few texts Ryan sent me. I am not only embarrassed but surprised by his words too.And somehow...I will admit I felt a bit funny reading those texts. Funny in a good way. Funny in a very unsettling tingly way.However I could not have the girls notice, so I schooled my features and rolled my eyes. "He's so annoying," I lied and quickly texted him that the tests were not for me but for one of the girls in my class. "Why would he even send this? Gross."When I looked up from the phone I saw Bailey give me a 'Oh please you liked it' look while Kristina raised one of her brows, lifting a hand to wipe her tears and smiled for the first time we got here.I cracked a grin myself, happy that I got to make her smile.However when Ryan texts me back I frowned.Annoying Ryan: Well then I'm not her baby daddy so she should get him to buy it for her.I let out a frustrated breath and smacked my thumbs across the screen, irritated with

Mira's povWe're seated around the lunch table, Kristina, Bailey and of course my brother who cannot leave Bailey's side for one second.She's leaning against him while he's feeding her some fries out of his tray. It's both cute and disgusting. They're already acting like a married couple and they're not even married.I can only imagine how they're going to act when they do tie the knot. I had no doubts anymore that they were endgame. All the doubts I had flew out the moment I realize my brother was in love in a way he had never been before and this love, would be hard to stop.I smiled at the two and looked over at Katrina. Her eyes are downcast on her tray and she has not eaten anything as yet. I frowned.Ryan hadn't given me the tests yet because we never got a chance to meet up privately. So Katrina was building up with more nerves and now it had become hard for her to hide the fact that she was not alright.As my worry for her weighed, a sudden ping sound came to my phone. I had

Bailey's pov~ Nine months later ~ I stood in front of the mirror, my gentle fingers brushing over my huge bump. I could barely see my toes now. I giggle as I felt a firm kick. " You're playing football in there little Sam?" I joked, rubbing where I could still feel his little foot stretching my skin. I turned a little sideways, the gleam of my wedding ring on my finger catching my eyes as a ray of sun strikes over the stunning diamond. My heart melts, remembering how Sam fit it on my finger when he stared at me deeply while he said I do with his whole heart. I sighed and flushed when I recall our wedding night. Let's just say if I wasn't already pregnant then, I'd surely gotten pregnant that night. We officially tied the knot two months after we got engaged. Sam wanted to speed it up and have it the exact same month, but I didn't want to rush it too much — even though we both clearly didn't want to wait any longer. Our wedding had been small and intimate, only our family and clos

Bailey's pov~* five years later *" And do you know what he got me yesterday?" Mira huffed, her face flush as she glares at me through the screen." Hmm let me guess, a dildo?" Kristina joked. We were in a three way facetime call. Mira was yapping for the last minute about Ryan who apparently left his socks in the kitchen yesterday.Mira rolled her eyes. " No Kristina, worse. He got me cheetos. Fucking cheetos! I hate cheetos!"Both Kristina and I giggled. " I think that's romantic for an apology gift," Kristy jokes. Five years has gone by yet we all were the same. Mira with her dramatics, Kristy with her sarcasm and well me being the grounded one I suppose. The one who is the emotional glue." Romantic my left asscheek," Mira snorted. " This man loves getting on my nerves."" But you love him so much," I pointed out, making her roll her eyes, yet I see that ghost of a smile on her face." Enough about me and Ryan, I think I have distracted you quite enough now. So......what does it

==Bailey's pov~ Graduation Day ~The morning sun filters through the windows, casting directly over my frame where I sat on the edge of my bed. My fingers twiddle with the hem of the graduation gown. It's navy blue and neatly pressed by mom. I stare at my reflection in the mirror and try to smile. But I only manage to carve out a little one that didn't quite reach my eyes. My lips line into a frown. I dreamed of this day and I know I should be happy to even see it....however, a lingering feeling of pity weighed on my chest. Juliet would never see this day and Stefan would also not be here today. Two individuals I should hate to the core, although I can't seem to find any resentment toward them but instead, pity. One was dead and gone and the other was rotting in jail for the next twenty-five years. Both not going to walk across the stage today and accept their diploma. Yet I would. A little part of me felt guilty, because perhaps things would've turned out differently if I pai

Bailey's povShe offers a small smile and gives me a gentle understanding nod. " We will tell them to call him too, I promise." Her hand gently presses against my back to help me into the ambulance and I fix myself to sit on the edge of the stretcher. Another of her colleagues come over to wrap a thin blanket around my shoulders and I cuddle into the material as I sort for any bit of warmth. The night was cold, the heart of Juliet's just as cold. I swallowed and looked down, my body shaking as I replay the events of the night over and over in my head. The chaos around me seem to blue into nothing but silence. It feels like I was in the eye of a hurricane.....the calm, trapped in my mind. I know I should be grateful to be alive. Grateful to feel my legs, to feel every breath enter my lungs. I should be grateful. I should. And I am. However, it is strange to feel such emotion when I have just stared death in the eyes not too long ago. When I've just watched someone die with their

Bailey's povThe gunshot echoed through the entire room like the roar of thunder. For a moment everything stood still as I watch her body jerk back violently from the impact of the bullet hitting her on the shoulder. Her hold on the gun loosens until it hit the floor with a clatter, right beside Stefan's unmoving body. Juliet stumbles back and she whips towards me, her knees buckling as she kneel to the floor. " You," she choked in shock, her eyes wide and wild with disbelief. Then she does something incredibly stupid, she reaches for the gun again despite her shoulder staining with crimson. " Juliet don't-I tried to warn her but her fingers wrap around the gun and she aims for me with trembling fingers latching onto the weapon. " Hands where I can see them!" " Drop the weapon!" The officers yelled. " You!" She snarls just as she pulls the trigger. Another bang clears through the air, this time louder than the first. I clench my eyes tightly shut, my heart stopping as I waited

Bailey's povJuliet's face twisted into many emotions all at once. Confusion. Then disbelief. And then.....rage. Pure raw rage that turned her face ugly. The hand that held the gun tremble, however she remove the aim towards me and aimed it at Stefan who still held the phone up. " You backstabbing asshole! You-" It wouldn't matter if you kill me now Juliet, they're on their way and you won't get away with this." Stefan cuts in her words just before a loud bang shot through the air followed by his painful groan. A scream tore through my throat when I watch the phone fall from his grasp and clatter to the floor, screen still lit up with the 911 dispatcher on the line. Blood smeared across it while his body slumps to the floor unconscious and unmoving. My entire body became numb. It felt like I couldn't breathe as I stare at Stefan's unmoving body. Beneath him is a pool of his own blood. A lump forms in my throat and vomit crawls up threateningly. Juliet rushes over to him and t

Bailey's povMy throat hurt, tears roll down my cheeks as I stare in complete terror as Stefan, who moments ago had gripped my chin so harshly was now to his knees clutching his stomach. I could see his back tense as his head tilt down clearly because he was eyeing his wound. A gurgle sound pushes out of his throat followed by a harsh cough that seem to shake his entire body. My heart thuds loudly, prickles of goosebumps dot across my skin as fear stilled me in my place. A few feet away from us is Juliet who still kept the gun aimed at Stefan. " This is all your fault by the way, Bailey," she harsh out, her angry eyes striking me across the slight distance between us. Satisfaction. That's the gleam that pierced into me as her gaze remain on mine." See what you made me do?" She tilt her head mockingly, eyes glazing with contempt. She was blaming me being the reason she shot Stefan.......she had officially gone insane. Stefan groans, coughing and this time something came out of his
Tangled In His Sheets 108
Bailey's povThe smirk on her face grew until the girl who was one of the most gorgeous girls in our school transformed into one of the ugliest. It's crazy how one's heart can change their features so drastically.Stefan chuckle makes me turn to face him. "You're going to be my little plaything sweetheart. You're going to be mine like you were always meant to be."His words caused a disgusting tickling sensation down my spine. Bile so horrid crawls up my throat as I stare at the guy I once considered a friend. Someone I once trusted with my life now looks at me so coldly. I mourn the feeling of safety I once felt with him and look away, my heart shattering even more. He clicks his tongue, moving closer until his fingers pinch my chin harshly. I wince, forced to look back at him. " Don't look away sweetheart," he mocks, eyes glinting with a shade of something.....feral. His breath warm against my cheek, the harsh puffs intensifying against my skin. "You can't force someone to be you

Bailey's povThe emotions I tried to keep at bay came crashing down. Juliet leans closer, her breath hot against my face as she lets out a louder cackle. " Our little naive Bailey, always so gullible to believe anyone would fall for you." Her words hit me right across the heart even though I wish they hadn't. Protecting myself now felt impossible. They had the upper hand, and it was stupid for me to think that they didn't. Her eyes glint, cold and calculative, flashing like the conniving fox she is. " You have a face only a mother could love," her snort was loud and the laughter that followed was even more deafening. My stomach churns, and helplessness weighs heavily in my body. If I was being completely honest with myself, it were not her words that was getting to me, it was the fact that I felt like they were the words of Kaleb. It was true, he was not in the room with us, it was her voice. It was her. Yet. Somehow my mind clung to believing that was what he wanted to tell me. T
