60: The Paper Chase

TAYA's POV : "My little Romeo and Juliet babies are finally together! Oh, I'm so happy for you two!" Hallee practically jumped us as soon as she saw Judah and me entering the school hallway. "Ssshh, Hallee, keep it down will 'ya?" I shushed her as I was getting antsy with all the attention we were getting. It was Monday morning, and school was back on full speed. The hallways were filled with students walking and talking about. And all morning long I had been getting weird looks from everyone. Why was I getting weird looks from people? Oh, I don't know, maybe it was because Judah couldn't keep his hands off me, literally! He made it a point for us to walk in together, and he had his arms around my shoulder the entire time. My left shoulder was starting to get cramps because of him. "Sorry, I'm just too excited when you told

61: The Monkey Business

JUDAH’s POV : The library turned out to be a bad place for making out. Noted. After leaving the librarian with a heart attack, Blondie and I dashed out of there and I spotted an empty classroom across the library. Not wasting any time, I pulled Blondie into the classroom and closed the door shut. Blondie shook her head at me and stifled a laugh. Meanwhile, I was reduced to a grinning mess, unable to contain the desire to kiss my girl. Putting my hands on both sides of Blondie’s face, I was trapping her in place as I looked at her with fire in my eyes. She looked up at me and bit her lip, and my face delved down to find hers. Our lips had touched and I was about to deepen the kiss, when suddenly— * RING ! * RING! * RING! * The stupid bell had to ring and ruin the moment. I let out a frustrated groan and Blondie

62: The Father Figure

TAYA’s POV : Spending time with Judah was never second best. For the past week, Judah and I were like two peas in a pod. We did everything together. In the morning, he’d pick me up to go to school. We spent as much time together at school as possible, and afterward too. Usually, we’d go to the diner for some snacks and studying. And right before dinner, Judah would drive me back home. Then I’d have dinner with my family and Judah and I would talk on the phone until we fell asleep. Sometimes, when we felt like it, Judah would drive to my house in the middle of the night, and I’d sneak out with him to our favorite spot in the island. That right there was pure paradise. After an entire week together like that, I thought we’d be sick of each other by now. But no. On the contrary, I was still missing him every time he wasn’t around. Like at dinner

63: The Carpe Diem

JUDAH’s POV : “You two think you’re very sneaky, but people all over town have been talking, and I’ve heard it all,” he said again. Shit. This town’s a lot smaller than I thought. "Well, okay, but, sir—" "Do you like to play games, son?" "Excuse me?" "Because games are for kids. And you two are adults. Turning eighteen. Going off to college soon. So I'm gonna treat you all as adults, you hear me?" "Yes sir," I replied immediately, "And no sir, I'm not playing games with your daughter if that's what you're implying. I'm very serious about her," "We live in a small town. Tight-knit community. People talk around here. I've heard some things about you. And to be honest, they're not very good," "But that's not very fair, isn't it? To judge a person before you get to know them," I wanted to appear confident, pausing for a beat before I said, "Sir," "Which is what I'm trying to do right now," he said with a long sigh. I was raking my brain trying to find the words to say to get hi

64: The Wildest Dreams

TAYA's POV : - - - - - One Month Later - - - - - I was staring at my laptop screen in awe — a page full of words was displayed in front of me. Total word count: 500 words. Yes, I, Taya Leigh Williams, had finally completed my college essay. Not to sound narcissistic or anything, but I legit thought that it was a great essay. I got so proud of myself every time I read over it. UCLA's application deadline was last night, and I had sent in my application just in time. I could only hope that UCLA would agree with me on this because they were my first pick. I was sitting outside the guidance counselor's office with nothing much to do, so I started re-reading my essay. Re-reading my college essay got me thinking about how much I'd grown the past year. I started out as nothing but a blank white page, and now, I was full of new experiences and new stories to tell. I guess Taya 2.0 was a successful project after all. I glanced over at the clock on the wall, and the time showed it was al

65: The Waiting Game

- - - - - TWO MONTHS LATER - - - - -BLAKE’s POV :“Thanks for meeting me here,” I said as I rolled down the car’s window.The black SUV parked right next to me also rolled their window down, revealing Danny’s face, wearing a pair of dark sunglasses. “No problem,” he said.“You got what I asked?”“It’s all there,” Danny pulled out a big brown envelope and I quickly swiped it from him before anyone in this parking lot might see.“What happened to your face?” I narrowed my eyes at him. Underneath his sunglasses, I could see bruises and cuts all over his face.Danny stifled a laugh and pulled his sunglasses down, revealing the full scale of his wounds. “Underground fighting ring,” he answered. “It’s a fun sport,”Danny used to work as my family’s personal investigator slash bodyguard. Now that he was in his sixties, he decided to retire his muscles, but we could still use his expertise from time to time. This time was no different. For the past two months, he had been spying and finding

66: The Idle Town

TAYA’s POV : “So?” I asked cautiously. “What’s the verdict?” Judah and I were seated on the floor, right in front of the coffee table. I was staring at his face, studying his reaction, and he was reading the college letter he just opened. All around us were ripped envelopes and scrunched up college letters. He had been going through almost all of the UC letters and Cal State letters, and so far, they were all rejections. “Another one bites the dust,” he sighed and scrunched the piece of paper in his hand into a ball before tossing it carelessly to the ground. “We’ll get something,” I said as I put a hand on his knee. “At this rate, I don’t even think community colleges will take me,” he shook his head and raked his hair in frustration. Judah had just read over ten letters of rejection. And even though some of them were expected, getting rejected by something was always hard. “They will. There’s no way they won’t,” I said reassuringly. Community colleges had about 100 percent ac

67: The Good Grief

TAYA's POV : I had to do a double look to make sure that it was in fact Blake Harrison, standing right in front of me. In front of Judah's house out of all places. I was so shocked to see him, but the craziest thing was that he wasn't even surprised at all to see me. It was like he was already expecting me to be there. "Hey," he said calmly. "Uh... hi,” I stammered. I looked around to see that he was alone. Judah and his bike was already gone. “W—what are you doing here?" "I came to find you,” he replied. “How’d you know I’d be here?” “I was following you, all through the town," he explained, pausing for a beat as he said, "Can we talk?" "Following me all around town? That's kind of creepy, Blake," I narrowed my eyes at him and held onto the door. "No, actually that's just plain creepy," If Blake was trying anything funny, I was ready to slam the door shut at any moment. But he wasn’t doing anything. He just let out a sigh and said, "Yeah. I guess you can say I'm desperate. I

68: The Mortal Enemy

BLAKE’s POV : The first time I heard that I might have brother was when I was seven years old. My little sister, Stephanie, was only three, so she didn't know what was happening. Mom and dad would argue day and night about it, and I’d give Stephanie my headphones so she could listen to some music. Meanwhile, I sneaked out of my room and hid by the stairwell to hear what they were arguing about. “That kid is an abomination to our family’s good name!” mom spat angrily. “You need to do something, James, or you’re gonna lose us,” “Well, what do you want me to do?” dad groaned in frustration. “You need to get rid of them,” “How?” he scoffed. “He’s not a fucking baby, the boy is seven years old,” “Seven years?” mom shook her head and raised a hand up. “He’s as old as our Blake. So it’s been going on for that long?” Dad opened his mouth as if he was about to speak, but he stopped himself. Meanwhile, my mom started wailing and crying. Dad let out a sigh and pulled her into his arms, mu

69: The Saving Grace

TAYA's POV : My head was spinning as Ava's words and stories wouldn't leave me be... "We all know that James Harrison owns half the island. He's got a monopoly on all the businesses here and Max didn't like that. James wasn't even from Hawaii. He moved in here and he started buying out lands, establishing big businesses, and driving out small local shops. Max hated it, especially when Castro's was starting to get hit. Max had been plotting his schemes to take down James Harrison for as long as I could remember. But James is the most powerful man on the island, there was no way a small-time criminal like Max could get to him. But that all changed when we met Judah," As she was talking, I could picture it happening in my head. Judah came back after years of being away from Hawaii and he met up with Max, the one guy that took his side when nobody else did. "What Max did was pretty shitty. But I've done some pretty shitty things too. And at the end of the day, we have each other's bac
