I stared up at him, my mouth opened to voice out my response..But what could I say?
He opened his mouth to say something when the operating room opened and the doctor approached us with a tired but satisfied look.
"How is he doing? " Sebastian asked
"The bullet missed his heart by a few inches, he'll live"At the doctors words I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
"When is he going to be awake? " Sebastian asked again, I watched the tension slowly drain away from his features.
"I can't say for certain, your father called me up, his flight just landed, I think he'll be here anytime soon"
I had wondered he managed to get Hayden treated in the hospital without getting a police report, there had been no statements or whatever.
When he'd lifted Hayden to the ambulance he'd ordered the rest people I assumed to
HaydenI blinked as the bright white lights burned at my eyes.Sebastian's blurry image slowly became clear.I stared at him as he made his way over to me"You are awake ,how do you feel? "I lay on the bed confused for a mom, the unmistakably smell of antiseptics and sanitizer filtering into my nostrils.Why am I in a hospital?I searched my brain but everything was blank for a moment , it took about five seconds before it came flooding like a surge of waters.She'd left..She left me..With the thought I managed to a sitting position, the sudden motion making blind spots appear in my head for a moment."Where is she? " I rasped,unable to keep the desperation out of my voice , my throat dry and scratchy but that was the last thing I cared about.His gaze settled briefly on mine , silently he walked to the nearby stand to pou
New BeginningI walked back to my apartment after dropping Hazel off at daycare, it wasn't a far distance, the school was very close by, only about a five minute walk.The smell of fresh paint welcomed me as I walked into the living room.Shawn must be here already,he came way earlier than expected , I made my way upstairs quickly and stood in awe at the doorway ."it's so beautiful " I gushed out staring at the newly brightly painted room.The designs and arrangements were perfect, I couldn't wait to hear Hazel's excited squeal of laughter.Shawn turned around to face me, the painting brush still clutched in his hand, his work clothes and some part of his face smeared by the paints."You are back. " he said with a huge grin then took a quick glance at his handiwork."It's really nothing..i just uh chose pink and silver, I just thought she might like it ...""Of cou
GracieI drove the car to a stop right in front of our porch, I helped Hazel unclasp her seatbelt before climbing down from my side.It was always my daily routine to pick her up from daycare after my part time job at the daycare, Shawn pick her up sometimes for me though, but that happened only when I'm overly busy.We walked back into our little apartment hand in hand, she immediately sniffed twice like a little puppy before running her way upstairs as fast as her little feet could carry her."Slow down or you'll fall down" I called out , making my way upstairs right after her."Uncle Shawn came by? I can have my room?" she voiced out expectantly."He sure did " I replied unable to keep the smile tugging on my lips .
3Hayden"It was all a mistake! Just give me one more chance I'll rectify them right away"I ran a finger over my temple massaging them slowly.I've been listening to this traitors ranting for some time now , it was always like this, they always tried to steal from us and always come up with the same story.To be given a second chance to rectify their mistakes.Too bad second chances weren't in anywhere in my fucked up world. They always paid with their lives for their greedy mistakes, some worse than the others depending on my mood .I stared emotionless at his bleeding pleading form, I didn't even feel the littlest twinge of pity , I wasn't feeling angry either,In fact I felt absolutely nothing .Everything inside of me was just a blank shade of darkness .Not since after she...."Have mercy! ,please just give me one more chance
GracieI turned around at the farmiliar voice to be met with the gaze of my older sister...... or should I say former?Ashley..We stared at each other silently for what felt like an eternity but could only be few seconds in reality"It's been so many years, I just caught sight of you and... " She trailed off breaking the silence.Often at times in the past I had always imagined that this day would come when my past would catch up with my presence.. about what I would do... what I would say if I ever bump into my old family.It was rather strange that right now I had nothing to say.Staring at her right now reminded me of all the things I wanted to forget...The forbidden things that I just wanted to remain buried.She looked exactly the same as I remembered, just a little bit older , I guess six years wasn't that a lot of time ."You change
The old town didn't change a single bit. Everything remained the same as I remembered but still it felt somewhat odd to be back hereThis was the place I had spent eighteen years of my life. It was filled with so many memories....most of them has to do with HIM.Whether I want it or not he was still a huge part of my life .. whenever I stare into Hazel's pair of gaze that were so much like his... Hers were very alive with happiness and light while his were dark and forbidden.They were two things that should never come across.Some days I could just managed to convince myself that I wasn't the same weak eighteen year old anymore, that he doesn't have any power over me anymore and I don't have to always watch my back just like I'm doing right now. Many atimes I doubt if he still even remembers me or I was just the only one...I watched the burial processions from afar , a safe distance away,made m
HAYDENDad's condition got even worse, the doctor said he had a relapse and would have to stay until they were sure that he wasn't in any imminent danger.It's only been two days since I arrived back here and I was regretting it already .Everything was beginning to get inside my head, staying back at the house made it even more worse.I don't know how long I sat at my usual dark spot in the bar , the music.. strong alcohol was all I needed to drown myself in.I ordered another shot of tequila and gubbled it down in a single take."Do you need anything else? " The stripper smacked her gums asked practically shoving her huge fake tits in my face, I wondered how she walks around with that without toppling over from their weight ."Fuck off"The icy look I sent her was enough to send her on her way mumbling something that closely sounded like 'your loss'.It was hard to believe the fact that I've th
Hayden**My eyes flickered open to a severe headache, a groan escaped my mouth as I recalled my drinking so heavily last night, I must have passed out from it. , I remembered Sebastian mentioned something about a parcel, with the thought in mind I made way out of the couch.There was something different about last night, there had been no nightmares, it was as if all the dark demons inside of me were kept on a leash.I had wet a dream about HER, she had lay soft and compliant beneath me as she took me deeper and closer into her warmth. it had felt so real... like I had touched and tasted her . I clenched my teeth against the sudden huge sense of loss that overwhelmed me.It wouldn't be the first time I've had an erotic dream about her .Only this time It had been so real...so perfect and equally so dangerous.My whole body now craved badly for the real thing. I closed my eyes draggi
