(THIRD PERSON POV)

Martha O'Connor stood outside the Williams' gate for a full five minutes before she pressed the buzzer.

Her hands were shaking. She had put on her best dress, the navy blue one that George always said made her look like a movie star. She had done her hair carefully, put on makeup, tried to look like the kind of woman who belonged in places like this.

    (TODD’S POV)I sighed. Deeply. I brushed her hair aside gently, letting her curls slip past her shoulders. My hands lingered.“I just want to make sure you still want to be with me after everything that has happened.” I wanted to sound confident but somehow my words came out like they slipped past my lips.Rory’s eyes widened and then her face softened in to a soft smile. She twisted her face so that she could place a kiss on my palm. Then, she held my hand in hers. Her stunning green eyes focused on me.“A lot has happened. So much more than I ever truly imagined would happen.” She admitted, her eyes stared in to thin air for a moment.Then returned back to me. And she smiled. “But none of it can change how I feel about you.” Her words came out in a whisper, but they felt heavy. She closed the small space between us, adjusting her seating position. When her legs were tucked around me successfully, she sighed and cupped my face in her hand.“I’m sorry.” I frowned in surprise. I wa

    (RORY'S POV)I grabbed my phone and kept it away from her."That's because he's my bestie." I protested shyly. And then added. "And my boyfriend."Rosalie rolled her eyes but she was smiling. "You are so weird. But I love you anyway."I looked at the phone screen. Todd's message was simple.Bestie: I'm outside. Take your time.My heart fluttered. That was something he always said. Even while I felt nervous, he found a way to my heart.Always."He's here." I whispered.“I figured.” Rosalie said, arms folded. “So why do you still have that look on your face?”“What look?” I frowned.She rolled her eyes. “The I love him but I’m feeling too awkward look.” I groaned. “I’m trying to push it down.”My sister sighed tiredly. “Now let me ask you this, don’t you love Todd?” Her voice was soft and caring.“I really do.” I admitted sadly. “Then you have to try. For him. You have to do better.”I held her eyes and nodded. “I’ll try my best.” Rosalie stood up and pulled me to my feet. "Great! The

    ONE WEEK AFTER MY KIDNAPPING. FIVE WEEKS AFTER THE WILLIAMS ARREST (RORY’S POV)“I don’t think I should wear this.” I said twisting at myself in the mirror.“I think you should.” Rosalie said barely glancing up from her phone. “It’s short.” I turning around and bending over.She sighed roughly and lowered her phone down to me.“You’ve had an excuse for every dress you’ve put on. What exactly is your problem?” She demanded and then crossed her arms over her chest. “Do you not want to go on this date with Todd anymore? I mean, you have ten minutes until he gets here so hurry up and telling him.”My stomach clenched with guilt. But I also glared at my sister because she was supposed to take my whining.“Of course I want to go. I just haven’t found the perfect dress.” I stalked back to the bed and sat down with a heave. Rosalie adjusted so that she was seated beside me, her hand aroind my shoulder.“I think you have found many perfect dresses but the main problem is you.”’she leaned e

He saw Chad standing frozen near the doorway. He saw Amanda crying on the floor.Then he saw Todd holding Rory on the couch."Rory!" Larry shouted.He crossed the room in three long strides and dropped to his knees in front of her. His hands cupped her face, turning it side to side, checking for injuries."Dad." Rory's voice cracked. "Dad, I'm okay. I'm okay."Larry pulled her into his arms. He held her so tight that she could barely breathe. But she didn't care. She held him back just as tight."I thought I lost you." Larry whispered into her hair. His voice was breaking. "I thought I lost you too."Tia rushed in behind him. She went straight to Amanda, kneeling down and wrapping her arms around the crying girl."You're safe now." Tia said softly, rubbing Amanda's back. "You're safe. We're here."

  • When Best Friends Kiss   Shots Fired!

    (THIRD PERSON'S POV)Jason's finger was on the trigger.Rory's eyes were squeezed shut. Tears poured down her cheeks.Then the door crashed open."Jason!"Chad stood in the doorway, his face stern but his hands shaking. He was holding a pistol—his father's, the one he had picked up and followed Todd.He knew that he was not supposed to be here, that Todd won’t be happy but his gut told him to follow anyway bevause he was scared that Jason truly had something to go with Rory’s disappearance. Chad had seen Jason, the day he had gone to slip the letter in to the locker. Jason had been lingering about Rory’s locker that morning. But he had acted nonchalant just after. Jason spun around. "I’m going to have you you—"BANG. BANG. The shots had echoed through the room like thunder.Jason screamed and dropped to the floor. His leg buckled beneath him. Blood soaked through his jeans, dark and fast.His finger had jerked on the trigger too before Chad even.But his bullet was a little slower.

  • When Best Friends Kiss   The Count To Three.

    (THIRD PERSON'S POV)The living room was silent except for Amanda's quiet sobs.Jason stood by the window, the old gun still in his hand. His eyes kept darting between Todd and the door, like he was waiting for something. Or someone.Todd's mind was racing. He had counted the bullets earlier when Jason wasn't looking. Six. The gun was old, but it would still kill. He had to be careful."Jason." Todd said slowly. "Whatever you're thinking of doing, don't. You haven't crossed a line yet. You can still walk away from this."Jason laughed. It was a hollow sound. Empty."Walk away?" He shook his head. "There's nowhere to walk to, Todd. You showed up at my door. You found the necklace. You pushed and pushed until there was no way out." His voice got louder. "This is your fault!"Amanda flinched at his shout."Okay." Todd said, raising his hands slightly. "Okay. It's my fault. I'm sorry. Just... tell us where Rory is. Let us see that she's okay."Jason stared at him for a long moment. Then s

    (RORY'S POV) I walked through the front door, and the darkness wrapped around me like a blanket. The house was not completely dark. A single lamp glowed in the living room, casting soft light into the hallway where I stood. It seemed like everyone had gone to bed. The clock on the wall said it was

    (RORY'S POV) "I can't see them. I want to see them." Nana insisted. Her face was squished against the phone screen, her eyes narrowed like that would help her see better.
