Played In Thirty Days のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Seconds turned into minutes as they stood in each other's embrace, each engulfed in the other that they lost sense of time and everything else. "You might want to sit down for this," Willis said, finally pulling away. His eyes looked sad. Leigh mused. So so sad, she had the sudden urge to fight all his battles and carry his burden with him. Instead, she simply sighed and plopped down on the nearest chair. He paced. That said a lot of things about how disturbing the events he turned over in his mi

"Yeah, I promised I would bring you here and I keep my promises." He winked at her and got out of the vehicle, Leigh jumping out right after him. "I can't see the waters though, there is just...land." The area was covered with wet grass and rolling land jutting out different trees and plants. "Come on," Willis grabbed her hand, gently pulling her along the trees until a tiny part opened up. It was hidden between two small trees that anyone not looking well enough would not have found it. The path looked like it had not been trodden in a while and Leigh wondered at that. "Is it not a commercial Bay? How come it has a narrow path that looks like it is rarely ever used?" Leigh inquired. "Because," Willis drawled, taking his time to answer. "This is a path known only to the locals. It leads to a more quiet part of the Bay, away from the docks and boats." "Ahhh," that explained the un-cleared path. "One of the best parts of going to

The loud shrill of the alarm pulled Leigh out of sleep. "Mom," she mumbled sleepily from beneath the covers, "put off your alarm!" The shrill went off again, louder than before. "Mom!" She mumbled fiercely, sleep slurring her words. "I've got it," A very distinct male voice said from somewhere above her head. Was that Willis? Why would she be hearing Willis' voice early in the morning? Was she still dreaming? Just then, she felt something press above her and the shrill thankfully went off. It was almost like the weight above her head had turned it off. But that was not her mother's alarm tone. Leigh jolted up and out of sleep, the light from the lamps blinding her momentarily when she pulled away the covers. Jaw dropped, she stared at the figure studying her with mirth dancing in his eyes. "Willis?!" "In the flesh Baby," Her eyes did a quick scan of the room. She was not in her room! "Holy shit!" Then it all came floodi

Leigh tossed and turned on the bed again. She lifted her head to check the bedside clock and 2:17AM glared at her with red dots like the devil's eyes.She could not sleep. No matter how hard she tried, something kept bothering her mind, keeping her awake. She looked over to where her best friend snored quietly beside her on the bed. Thea slept like a log in every situation. You could float her on water and she would still sleep. They had been driven back by Willis after the celebration earlier since Carol had had to stay back with Jeremy. A small smile painted her lips now as she remembered how happy her friend had been. Carol had practically being bustling with happiness. She had finally got her 'hottie' and Willis had asked her out to the prom.Sighing resignedly, Leigh swung her legs over, banishing any thoughts of sleeping for that night. Her mind was full of things she needed to think through, things she had put off long enough that they were coming back to haunt

"Get your ass moving!" Carol grunted, pushing Leigh out of the car since she was sitting right by the door and refused to budge. "We’re going to miss the game!" She said fiercely, giving Leigh another hard push. She might look all small and petite but the girl was solid and as much as Carol pushed, she didn’t budge an inch. "Oh, come on. What is wrong with you? Are you having stage fright or something? You're not even going to be on stage," Carol let out a sigh of frustration. She would have gone out through the other door but Thea was busy retouching her make-up and refused to budge either. Did they both have something planned and were not letting her in on it? "Chill out Carol," Leigh told her. "Let's wait for Thea, then we can all go together." She reasoned. "Nah, don't wait for me. You guys go ahead and make sure we get the best seats in the house." Damn Thea and her big mouth. Did Thea not see that she was deliberately stalling here? Carol shot her a look and said "See? Even
