The day of the Christmas party was long gone but the embarrassment still hadn't worn off my mind and thus, I didn't even try to have a face-to-face with the male of the Coker twins. Stacy had gone home for the holidays while Mama and Calista were around."It's time to vote o." Calista was all smiles as she called out to Aunty, Uncle and the kids, well all except me so I just watched them all from my seat at the living room. I chose to step out of my 'cave' today.Mama and Calista at this point were basically Bonnita and Claudia, a more feminine version of Bonnie and Clyde.The Peters family were gathered around the dining table with ten taste samples of peppersoup. They were the size of shot glasses."Okay, so you vote for the one you like better, soup a or soup b." Mama explained.They were two taste 'shots' for each 'judge' and they began. Shot A first."Hmm, this is lit.

Rose's POV"I'm going to be patient enough for you to tell me exactly what the hell is going on!" Mum tried to keep her cool but couldn't control the tone of her voice in the last few words."Mum I can explain." I assured."Start explaining it then Rose, explaining why the empty box of a test kit is laying carelessly on your bed is one hurdle and then the outcome of the test is a bigger one so I'd suggest you start now!" She seethed." Start explaining." She fumed as she paced around my room." Mummy, I, erm...ummm... I." I stuttered and a slap had me halfway across my room already and I couldn't even sob.There was no need crying, I'd brought this upon myself."Would you speak now or you need another?" She threatened and I narrated the ordeal to her."I'm so disappointed in you and you better not have any form of life growing insid

Third Person POV “Ma I think you’d need to see this.” Stacy approached Christy at the dining table where she was deep in thoughts, sliding into depression at the thought of her miscarriage.“What did you say?” Christy was startled.“I’m sorry for startling you ma, but I think you should see this.” Stacy handed her some pages of card paper.Christy tried to read through them but her assimilation was slowed down by a migraine, thus taking more time to understand the gravity of the papers.“Where did you find this? What do these initials signify. They all have the letter K.” Christy rushed.“In Attracta's trash ma. She’d disposed of them. I also found the ones we received on her bed, like she was reading them or something.” Stacy spoke.“Attracta had the nerve to write lett

I tossed and turned as I laid on the comfortable bed. My mind was racing on its own and I was an emotional wreck. I felt heartbroken for no reason.I didn't take cognisance of the mini fridge in the room and I got out of bed, ignoring my slippers as I walked barefooted into the kitchen, my toes slightly curled at the feeling of the cool tiles against my bare feet had me relaxed than earlier."Can't sleep?" A voice startled me as I got to the door of the stairs about to head into the kitchen not too distant."Ahh! You startled me."

I commented, slightly bedazzled by the blue lights contrasting beautifully with the white paint and the little star-like lights that were lodged above.Slow music played from the stereo while Casper was sprawled on the couch sporting a tank top and a pa
