All Chapters of Him: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

   JASON It had been a week since I spoke to Inez properly. A whole week. I don’t know what was the reason for her sudden change but she just kept to herself. I wanted to talk to her, ask her but she didn’t even give me the chance. She practically shunned herself. She wouldn’t even linger around me for more than half a minute. Yes, I timed it. It was getting frustrating to see her behave as nothing happened and act all normal about it. I had no clue as to how I was going to approach her because she was finishing all of her work early and headed home. What happened? It was since the last Thursday. I know she came in the middle of the night to help me get my drunk self home. For which, I was very grateful. I wanted to even thank her but she didn’t come to work the next day. Then it was the weekend and I couldn’t do

 INEZHow do you spend your day?The old me would love to get up at their own time. Stay in the bed while checking your phone and do not care about anything. Get lazy. After an hour-long of rolling around in the bed and after you think you have finished checking your phone maybe social media, news, messages, whatever, get up and move to brush your teeth. Apply some paste on the brush but take your own time to brush your teeth while you get distracted looking at yourself in the mirror. Noticing how messed up your hair is or how you might have developed acne that sat right on your forehead, for everyone to see. You think about bursting it but decide otherwise. You notice a single hair of yours that is standing away from its group. You use your fingers to put it back but it won’t budge. You use some water to set it with its group but it is way too stubborn. Now, if you were anything like m

 InezI was standing in front of the mirror looking at my reflection. The dress was beautiful. Guess all of that searching paid off. It had a halter top neckline, so I didn’t have to worry too much about what I was going to wear around my neck.I wore a pair of tiny earrings and pulled my hair up in a bun. I painted my lips in a beautiful light shade of rose. I kept the makeup minimal.I looked at myself one last time and turned around and took the glittery clutch that was laying on the bed. I was driving there so I didn’t have to worry about getting back home.When I reached there, the hall was buzzing with people. I was allowed in through the employee's entry. It was an invite-only party and employees had a separate entrance. This was one of Jason’s many rules he had laid down while organizing the party. He mostly did it to avoid the crowd.The hall was big no doubt and

 Jason decided to go back a lot sooner than he thought he would. He preponed his flight to two days before when he thought it was a waste of staying back. Not waste exactly but because of her.She was a constant reminder of Courtney for him. He has always had one woman in his heart and that was Courtney and nobody could ever take her place.He was never going to get her back. His self-blame only sky-rocketed looking at Inez. He wondered how Courtney would react when he told her he loved her. He didn't know and he was never going to.He should have cherished every single moment he had with her but all he did was hurt her. He drove her away. He would have never done what he did to her unless he knew she was going to die but who was he kidding? Death comes unannounced.He regretted hurting her. There wasn’t a day, where he didn't go to the cemetery. He would always take the bouquet of white roses for her and keep i

 CourtneyI rolled in my bed and looked around. My eyes finally landed on the alarm clock that was sitting next to the bed. It was 5:39 AM. I didn't get any sleep. Not after the fight with the monster. I waited till it turned 5:40 and got up because I knew I wouldn't get any sleep and also, I should be up in a few minutes.I go to the bathroom finish my business and get dressed. I was up early and I decided to cook breakfast. I strode to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. I looked at the contents in it.I finally settled for some sunny-side-up eggs and a chicken sandwich. I also squeezed some fresh orange juice.I was grilling some sandwiches when I heard a faint voice."Mommy," I turned instantly. I saw Mel standing near the refrigerator rubbing his eye with his fist and yawning. He was still wearing his blue pajama set and his hair was all disheveled. Why was he up so early?"Ye
