HadenMy heart held so much sadness for Ivory. I was hurt because I saw the look in my dad's eyes. He looked at her with disgust and disbelief, like she was worth nothing.Two weeks had passed since the party and everything had settled. But there was this feeling that hung over the air. The feeling that Aubrey is the most hurt out of us all. She hadn't left the confines of her room since that party. She ordered our new maid, Lucia, to deliver food to her upstairs everyday. Lucia was a 45 year old woman with kind brown eyes, black hair with grey streaks. She had a plump figure, which she carried with confidence and a comforting presence.Currently sitting in the kitchen I slowly ate my breakfast, my mind often wandering back to Aubrey. Is she okay? After what happened between her and her brother, she seemed to be in a daze.After eating I strode upstairs and knocked on the door. I couldn't care less about Aubrey but the least I could do is check on her."Aubrey, open up!" I called onl

Aubrey It's been a month since I returned home. Haden's parents were hesitant at first to let me stay with him at the house but they eventually gave in. Haden insisted that him and I share his room because he didn't want an incident like that to happen again. I had gained weight and the colour returned to my face. I was looking noticeably better.It was awkward at first but we eventually managed to work it out. Haden slept on the window bed whilst I slept on his bed.Vincent visited me atleast 5 times a week or whenever Haden couldn't be there for me. I enjoyed his company and our bond grew stronger. He was a really fun person to be with.But there is that thing that looms over me. A feeling that I can't shake. The fact that everyone is being nice to me because I almost ended my life is just a complete turnoff. They weren't treating me this way before. How long will it last?I was currently sitting in the study reading a romance novel. If only reality worked like this things would b

Aubrey I woke up early, slipped out of the house and went for a jog around the neighborhood. The thought of that guy watching me, made me scared but I managed to jog for 30 minutes and returned home.Walking inside I was greeted by Haden."Where the hell were you? I called your phone and got no response," Haden questioned."Sorry I went for a jog.""You can't just leave without an explanation Aubrey." "And why not? You do it all the time," I snapped and pushed pass him. I went into my room and slammed the door.I took a long, cold shower and changed into a floral print dress that reached mid-thighs with a belt at the waist. I paired it with black strapped sandals that reached slightly below mid thighs. I did my make-up and applied a light shade of pink lipstick. After that I curled my hair and let it fall down my back. Satisfied with my look I grabbed my phone and went downstairs.Haden was in the kitchen when I entered. He was eating breakfast while he busily tapped away on his pho

HadenIt's been two weeks since Aubrey was missing. We managed to find her phone and turned it in to the police but that didn't make me feel any better. I've been spending time with Ivory to fill the void that Aubrey left but it's like I can't be around her. Every time I am around her I feel guilty. I feel sick to my stomach."Haden, I asked if you think we should paint the room baby blue or dark blue," Ivory yelled with an annoyed expression."Oh sorry. Anything is fine," I muttered as I looked out the window. We were currently at my house fixing a room for the baby but I was so out of it. The news that I was having a baby boy didn't make me as excited as I thought it would. I just felt empty."Haden. This is your son. Our son. You are acting like you don't care!" She screamed."I'm sorry but if you haven't noticed, my wife is missing," I barked and a look of surprise covered her features."So this is about Aubrey," She spat."Of course it's about Aubrey. I miss her damn it. I have n

Vincent My mind was in a frenzy. I kept thinking about Aubrey, day and night. I want her to be safe. I just need to hold her in my arms once again. I just need to see her."Calm down, Vincent," Caleb put his hand on my shoulder."You've been pacing this room for quite a while. I know you miss Aubrey. I do, too. But you have to eat. You haven't been eating as much," Caleb stated, and I sighed."Fuck it. I'm gonna look for her myself. I'm tired of sitting around and waiting on those cops." "We don't even know where to start." "So what? We drive around and search places. We have nothing to lose. If you kidnapped someone, where would you take them?" I questioned."Abandoned buildings or rather buildings that look abandoned on the outside," Caleb suggested."Well that's a start, let's go."We got into the car and began our search. We started at a local warehouse, well what use to be a warehouse. We searched around inside but found nothing.My phone rang and I answered it seeing as it wa
