Maddie

“Thank you, have a wonderful day” I handed over the last pair of sneakers.

She walked out through the glass doors and that was when I saw him. My heart skips.

I looked away pretending to adjust the heels on the display table praying silently for someone to walk in, anyone at all.

His presence unwanted, unavoidable Even the shadow of him sent a jolt of fear down my spine and I was down in a cross road of choosing my own values over society principles.

  • The Quaterback Contract    Chapter 97

    Maddie Carlson stands and then leaves.I panicked. He promised he wasn't going to leave. Did I say anything wrong? I thought for a second. The thought of being alone scares me, often—not often lately.I have always had those weird thoughts. I'm an Icelander. I hardly have friends, nor do I have one at home except for Jamie, so the little affection he shows to me feels like love and a world to me.I will say I was stupid and vulnerable for believing all his lies; he was a friend I could talk to. We shared the same window that happened to face each other, so every night after my father had tucked me into bed.I patiently wait at the window for him; sometimes he never shows up, and I feel so sad that night, but whenever he shows up, then I have someone who is willing to listen to my rant.We were super duper close, and that built up a feeling I never expected.But this one right now feels different. It feels I'm safe. It feels I'm with the right one. I don't have to act in a certain

  • The Quaterback Contract    Chapter 96

    Maddie Sometimes the pain we feel feels like it's about to consume us.The grief.The heaviness of our chest and the sadness.Sometimes I want to wake up normally without so much pain. This is the reality. Everything dearest to my heart has a way of hurting me, and the people closest to me make it even worse.The pain when it surfaced again. Acting like it wasn't there and won't be there is like lying to myself.Being lied to, especially about part of your existence, is the worst thing that can ever happen to someone.Now I know what to do with the truth: stop loving, confront the person I have loved all my life, or wait patiently for the next that will unfold.Recently my brain has slowly been trained to accept pain. I want to be happy, but I don't know how. Even if Carlson is trying his best to make me cheer up, that doesn't justify my fear.What if he leaves me one day? What if he wakes up one morning and tells me he doesn't have feelings for me anymore? How am I supposed to liv

    Maddie Do you know the best feeling? Having someone by your side during tough moments. Those times in life have to measure you and throw you off balance.Last night's kiss means a world to me; it is not the regular kind of kiss, but the kind of kiss that comes with assurance, the promise of "I will always be here for you in every step of the way." That reassuring promise is what is keeping me sane.My lips curled into a smile, a smile of gratitude. A smile that says thank you for always being here for me no matter the tantrums and no matter what happens.I stared at him; the silence of our hearts spoke it all. His hand cradles my face, and it was the best feeling ever. I knelt down and didn't know when I fell asleep.I didn't want to wake up because I don't want to face whatever that is ahead of me. I can't face my mom; she has her reasons for whatever went wrong, but that bad decision gave birth to me, but the problem is her hiding it from me this long.When was she planning to

    Carlson Her hand moves underneath my clothes, blushing my chest like a girl who knows what she wants.Not breaking eye contact with me, it feels like we see each other now. It feels like she is staring deeply into my soul.I see vulnerability.I see a girl who wants to run from her pains.I see a girl who wants to forget her pains.She wasn't ready yet, not one she would blame me for. I want our first to not be an escape from pain.I don't want her to wake up the next morning regretting everything or telling me to my face that it means nothing.It's nothing; it's so easy to say, and that will come with a perpetual pain and rejection I didn't budget for, so instead I grip her hand to a stop.Turning her over before she can even say a word. I'm on top of her, and her breast is so perky.I could see her standing nibbles underneath her nightie begging to be fuddled and sucked.It's so tempting that I lick my bottom lip. I want her so badly. I admit to that, but not this way.Not a night d

    Carlson "Maddie, I know you're mad; please calm down." I paused.“I can't let it out. Where are you going to? It's late, and it's dangerous out there."“You can't stop me," she yells. I swear all my life I have never seen Maddie this angry. She's always been a soft girl, a girl who breaks so easily, but now I could see the fire in her eyes, like she was saying, "Nobody can stop me."Yeah, I understand her pain, but then can't she see she's putting herself more in danger going out there?I'm not going to let her, no matter what she says to me. Even though the world feels like it's leaving her behind. I just want her to know I will always be there for her.I will always support her and be the shoulder she can lean on. I watched as her chest rose and fell and the way her fingers folded into a ball. It feels like she's about to lunge towards me, and she's trying to hold up together.I don't mean her tearing up her pain on me. It's okay to react and never hold it back. I don't reall

    Maddie The moment I met her eyes as she tries to come closer to me. I felt this anger rise to my chest.All this while I have been fooled. I swear my mom needs to be given the best award for acting her role so perfectly.She tries to touch me, but then I point a finger at her.“Don't even come close." The tears ran down like a river as another wave of pain hit me hard, and it felt like I was about to suffocate."Maddie," that sweet voice I have always wanted to hear each day. I turned to look at him with my teary face. He says nothing but just hugs me.Carlson always comes through, always there at my worst moment. I'm beginning to believe him more than people I call my family. At least he doesn't hide secrets from me.“Everything is going to be fine, Maddie." He rubs my back; it should make me feel alright, but then I feel worse because I hate to hear it.I hate to believe that everything will be alright.It's just a lie, a mirage, because it keeps getting worse and worse.I sniff
