June’s PovAs the bus maneuvered out of the town and towards the city, I could feel my heart beating so fast it could bust only if that’s possible. I was about to go back to my past after leaving it behind for two years and living in it every single day of my life. My life was so messed up when I got back to our town that my mom had to hook me up to a therapist because I was already on the edge of going insane. I would lock myself up in my room for days and cry till weakness overpower me and I lose consciousness. My parent, I mean my mother and my stepfather didn’t take it serious, thinking I was going through the pain because I couldn’t get myself out of it the way they did, they thought I had a weak heart, one that’s not able to overcome pain. Until the day that they realized the truth: that I was a monster. The look in my mom’s face told me all I needed to know, she hates me for what I did and when I couldn&rsqu

June’s PovI got back into town later that same day and it was a little past three when I returned home. I got home to realize that my parent had gone on their usual trip, without informing me. Mom works for a fashion company while dad is a medical doctor who works in China too and sometimes, when mom is on a company trip to china, they go together. I never knew who my father was, I was told that he died when I was six years old, a car crash that killed him and left mom in the hospital for months and before I turned eight, mom moved on and got married to my stepfather. Justine was a year ahead of me in school as a result of a surgery I had before we entered junior high school.After Justine’s death, everything fell apart at home. Dad is having an affair and I heard the woman is already pregnant with his child and mom; she’s trying to ignore the whole issue by drowning herself with work. I just couldn’t stop blaming myself for all th

Harry’S POV“I met Ava back in high school, we were in the same class and I’ve always loved her since freshman year even though I never had the courage to walk up to her” We were seated on the couch now and I decided to make her feel better by trying to tell her exactly everything about my marriage, I didn’t want to keep anything out and all these was just for her to feel better. During my trip to the city, I realized that I actually like June a lot, maybe more than a sister and I don’t want it to go beyond that. I don’t think I can ever let anyone take the place of my Ava in my heart.  “We knew you both back then, High school sweethearts of the year” she interrupted and I told her jokingly to shut it till I finish my story.  “So, one day, I was by my locker with some of my friends and I was stealing glances at her since her locker was on the ot

June’s POV “Good Morning Sunshine” I turned my head to where the voice was coming from and I realized it was Harry playing cheese and I was awe at the sight. How is that possible?“Sunshine? That’s new and how do you know it’s me?”“Because you always smell like sunshine and because…..” he trailed off before he stopped and faced the game back and I decided to ignore  what he just said and not push further.“You know I could beat you at that” I challenged him and he smiled.“How about I tell you that it’s absolutely impossible for you to do that”I placed the stuff I had brought for him on the table and slow danced to where he was. “Challenge accepted bum” Twenty minutes into the game, he had managed to beat me blue black at cheese even though I always thought I was the ‘Queen o

June’s POVDear Jingle bell, I laughed a little before I could continue reading the letter that Justine had sent from the past and my heart leaped because I was so scared of opening the letter that I had left it for days before I opened it this morning after I had a fight with mom over dad’s infidelity.“You need to stop ignoring the fact that he’s cheating on you, mom. It’s unfair and the fact that he doesn’t even respect you anymore gets  to me and you ignoring it kills me too” I had attacked her   Immediately she entered the house after her one month trip to God knows where and the media had shown dad as the new sweetheart to a rich and wealthy heiress. “Since when did you start to care, because the last time I checked, I don’t even exist in your dictionary anymore, all you’ve ever done is lock yourself up and i
