When we were dating, I noticed his mood swings fast, but I'd just thought he had a bad day or something. A few weeks before I caught him cheating, he had hit me several times and didn't even bother to apologize. I stayed with him for fear of losing my home. I released Anne as I stood up straight. I looked through the peeping hole. He wasn't there anymore, had the security come? ~ I was cooking dinner, and Anne was in the living room, watching Dora. For some reason, I was having headaches. I jumped when my phone rang. I placed my hand on my chest as I took the phone from the shelf, I looked at the caller's ID. "H-hello?" I said. Why was I stuttering now? He's going to think something happened. "Hey, are you okay?" Jake asked. I didn't reply immediately. I breathe in and out trying to calm my calm myself. "Of course, how can I not be okay?" I hit myself in the head realizing what I just said. He's only going to suspect more this time, why didn't I just give him the usual answer 'ye

At a point, I thought it was going to roll past me, but it didn't, instead, it stopped in front of me. My breath hitched. Everyone's eyes were on me. I looked down at it nervously. What was I going to do? Pick it up? I noticed no one did anything so I stooped down to pick up the ring. I slowly walked towards where the couple was. I gulped giving the ring back to Austin. I noticed the death glare Loren was shooting at me. What did I do for her to glare at me right now? Jeez. I stepped back to where the crowd stood and watched them exchange the rings. Everyone cheered. "Oh my god, are you okay? You look pale." Gwyneth said walking towards me. I nodded my head. Jake, Dave and Carson walked toward us. Jake placed a hand on my shoulder. "Are you really?" He asked. I nodded my head. I noticed Gwyneth blushing, she threw a quick glance at Dave before quickly looking away, her face was red as a tomato. Dave must have noticed as he smirked at her, giving her a quick look. "I can't belie

He'll fire all of them. 2mins later, they arrived and guns were pointed out towards the bad men. "Put your guns down or.." It was hopeless for the bad men. They'd be easily defeated. They had a less powerful gun with each of them. They dropped their guns. Austin glared at the men, he wanted to scream at them for coming late. But it obviously wasn't the time. He looked into the pool. Oh shit. He thought. He took off his suit and dashed into the river. It was a miracle he located her quickly as the pool was really huge. He took her out of the pool, she was unconscious. Is she dead? His subconsciousness whimpered. She can't be. Suddenly everyone at the party was outside a few metres away from him and her. He resuscitated her. After a few minutes, she let out a cough. He sighed in relief. The crowd watched with relief. Well, not everyone, Loren was glaring down at her with pure hatred in her eyes. Jake walked towards them, bending down, he took off his jacket and wrapped it around he

"Don't get bothered, he's sometimes like that," Carla said shaking her head. After a few minutes, we were done eating. Carla and her husband, unfortunately, had to go somewhere. And Alec got a call. I couldn't find Jake. I noticed the sky was starting to get dark and no, it wasn't getting late, I think there was going to be a storm. Oh God, how am I going to get home? It became darker in minutes. I don't think Carla would be able to leave the house now, because of the storm. I sighed sitting down on a chair with Anne on my lap. It was getting cold. A minute later Carla came towards me. "Tessa! I know you want to go home, but unfortunately, the weather won't allow that. It's so bad that everywhere has been shut down. It's cold out here, you can use the room you used earlier, here are the keys." She handed me the keys. I smiled at her gratefully. A part of me is more than happy to use that room again. She walked away. Where was the direction to the room again? I looked around until I

"Yes," Austin replied firmly. His dad looked at him unbelievably and Loren cried harder. "Son, you know you're engaged! Why'd you done that? I thought you were better than that." That obviously got Austin angry. I was low-key glad they were not on me, right now. "I never had a choice of who I was getting engaged to. if she's not okay with it, then cut off the engagement." He said with a scowl. Well there you go, and I was wondering why he didn't show affection to her. "No!" Loren quickly said. "I mean, it's okay. I won't let a thing like that ruin our relationship, but she needs to stay away from him, father, she's a slut, a manipulator..." "She didn't seduce me, I was the one who kissed her," Austin added. "She responded!" Loren snapped. "Is this true, Tessa," Carla asked. I bet she's going to hate me after this, I can't keep on making enemies... My head dropped low. I was embarrassed and nervous at the same time. She took my silence as a yes as she sighed before saying "I thou
