“Mum, can we switch to video call”

“Umh…honey. I'm not predisposed at the moment. I just want to be sure you're fine” she says quickly. My intuition was right, she have been crying and she doesn't want me to know.

“I will call you back” she tries to hang up.

“Mum wait. I'm not at the wedding party. I'm at the hotel mum. We can see each other. I miss you mum. I miss your face”

“Got to go baby. I have to work”

“Work, mum”

“I thought you resigned” but before I could finish up my sentence, the doting sound indicating the call have been cut off.

I took a deep breath. Staring at my bed over again. I'm supposed to move to my father's new home which he acquired like two weeks ago. The new home with his new bride.

I back to the hotel to get my stuff together and now I don't even feel like going.

I laid on the bed with my face to the ceiling. Carlson is waiting downstairs. He wanted to come up but I told him I will be fine getting my stuff. It wasn't even much.

My mind was blank, no th

    Maddie “Mira, can you ask your brother why he is angry at me?”I placed a hand over my mouth the moment I said that. “Is it okay to ask for help sometimes?” She was still trying to arrange my clothes into the wardrobe. Even though I offered to assist her she declined.I laid on the bed with my face facing the ceiling. My thoughts were all about Carlson. What did I do wrong? Why is he so mad at me? I couldn't speak to him so Mira was my only option.Even though I don't want to involve her in adult stuff, she's so close to her brother and could get the truth out.“What did you do to him?” I'm going to tell her I overheard me moaning to myself.Bruh!!!!That's not going to happen. I lifted my weight, my hand still pressing down on the sheet.“I don't know, he haven't spoken to me since morning”“And you're worried about it?” I nod wondering where she's getting with the conversation.“Are you kind of in love with my brother?”Oh shit!I always told Mira Carlson and I are just best fr

    Maddie I didn't move, and I didn't say a word but remained stiff for some seconds before he changed the channel to my favorite TV show.I removed the sheet slightly, and he was sitting up this time, his attention on the TV.I checked the time, and it was 4 am. I have been up all night and barely have time to sleep now. I wasn't even feeling sleepy.“Do you care?” Carlson's voice.How did he know I'm awake? He was munching on chips.“Umh… no… thanks.” I sat taking off the sheet completely, my attention completely drawn to the program on the TV. One of my favorites, and I can't just stay away from it.I sat on the bed this time, laughing and mumbling to myself like I had someone I was discussing.“Disey got it all wrong.” I love to talk when watching my favorite ones, and I enjoy having another person who vibes the same way as me, but too bad Carlson isn't like that either.He prefers to be quiet, while I'm the noisy one.The movie came to an end, and I fell back on the bed this time

    Maddie “Why are you acting so weird?” Carlson's grays pierced into mine, searching for an answer.Weird, I'm acting so weird.“You're acting like this is our first time of me sleeping in the same room with you. If you don't want that. I can book another room,” his voice a mix of irritation and anger.“No, I don't mean that. I mean…” He arched his brows, and I quickly stopped myself from saying more words.Was I about to tell him my hormones kicked in and I don't know if I can control myself around him? I'm just about to shoot myself in the leg.“Umh…. never mind. It will be a waste of resources if you book another room. The couch will be comfortable.”I didn't wait for a reply but I knew he doesn't look pleased. He doesn't look so pleased about asking him to sleep on the couch. He reluctantly sat down, totally ignored me, got the remote, and turned on the TV.He didn't say a word to me.The first display was news; I wasn't interested, so I got myself useful looking for something I

    Veronica.I watched the devil on red lipstick as she slid through the glass door. I sat at the fourth row of the table. The tables are all arranged in four sitters. I had two more couples in front of me acting all lovey and dovey before she walked in.Clara Addams.The chick who took Jamie from me and I was so busy fighting over nothing. Her dad is a cop, which is why I'm careful around her. Don't want my shit to be let out.My gaze shifted when she looked around like she was searching for something while I acted like I didn't take notice of her staring through the glass door, watching cars and passersby.I have come alone to the coffee shop to have some space to think. I felt her gaze on me, and she began walking towards me.Now, I wasn't ready for another fight, not after what we did the last time. It better be she's going to the table behind me.She stopped at my table.“Hey, I know I will find you here” At first I wanted to ignore her, act like she didn't exist.I didn't want
