บททั้งหมดของ Catching the Moon (Chasing the Moon Book 2): บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Em The next few days were a blur. Her mom and John were now married, she had to accept it, even though she didn’t want to. Em had previously thought she would have some time before all this happened. Like.. at least the holidays. It was easy for her to pretend like none of it was real. Now that’s impossible to do. She didn’t understand any of it … like why would they be in such a rush? Why would they go off and do it without even telling their kids? Why wouldn’t they want her and Quinn to be there?? She couldn’t understand how they were being so selfish. She and Quinn were now step siblings which she couldn’t even wrap her head around, and he and his dad had moved into her house. She kept busy, they had a competition the following weekend so she spent all her extra time practicing. She was back to fully taking her pills every day… every night she was journaling… and also calling Evan. She couldn’t help it, she felt like she needed him. So every other night she had phoned him

Quinn When they finally made it to the stadium where they were holding the dance competition Quinn couldn’t wait to get out of the car. Sitting in an enclosed space with his dad and Carol.. Emerson’s mom.. was about the last thing he wanted to do on a Saturday. He hadn’t even planned on coming to this thing. Did he want to see Em dance? Yeah of course he did .. did he want to experience the feelings watching her dance would surely bring up? Fuck no he didn’t. So his plan had been to hang back and spend the day with his boys. Well.. some of them anyway. It seemed that both Asher and Grey had completely switched sides. He barely even saw them anymore because they were always with Emerson. He guessed he should be happy that she had people around her, good people. And he was happy about that. But he also hated the divide that this was causing. He knew Grey stayed because of Aspen … he’d had a thing for her for a long time. But he also knew he would’ve done it if Aspen wasn’t eve

Emerson She couldn’t believe her eyes. There.. standing in front of her was non-other than Evan. Evan Dank.. her therapist from back home was here! How was he even here?? Immediately she felt like crying. She ran to him .. and flew into his open arms. He hugged her tightly and she breathed in his scent. Evan was like home. He was home for her. She couldn’t get over the shock of seeing him. Was this even real?? She didn’t want to let him go just in case she was dreaming. Maybe she’d had a panic attack and this wasn’t real.. like the time she had seen her dad. Maybe it was just a dream .. and if that was the case she didn’t want to wake up. Just having him here, in front of her, made her feel a million times better. She finally released him as she figured she was getting a lot of looks from people. She then just stared into his face for the longest time.. shock taking over her thoughts to the point that she couldn’t even form words. Finally she remembered herself. “What are you

Emerson The next morning Em barely opened her eyes and knew immediately she had a hangover. Her head was already pounding and she felt extra nauseated. She groaned as she rolled over … landing on a hard chest. She lifted her head and frowned. Who was she in bed with? The memories of the night before slowly came back to her. After the twins mother had scared them to death they ended up getting out of the hot tub. They ordered pizza because they’d gotten hungry again and then ate and watched a movie. After that they somehow got a second wind and decided to play games … and drink the rest of the bourbon. They’d played Pictionary… which they discovered wasn’t the best to play when you’d been drinking because nobody could even draw. Then they played cards. But Sylvia started passing out before the first round. And a few minutes later so did Mickey. Mickey had gone to the recliner they kept by the sectional and Sylvia laid on the couch. That left Em and Grey and the twins. After

Emerson After she had laid there and watched the Christmas movie she’d turned on … Home Alone 2 … and drank the tomato juice .. and taken the medicine Asher brought her… Emerson slowly but surely came back to life. A few minutes later Asher came back downstairs and brought a tray with food on it. “Asher. You didn’t have to do all this. You probably feel awful too ..” she told him. “Nope I drank my tomato juice and feel much better and I made breakfast for everyone .. myself too.. so I’m going back up to get mine. Save me a spot.” He booped her on the nose … his signature … and went back upstairs to the kitchen. Emerson looked at the huge plate of food he’d brought. There were eggs, toast, some steak and some potatoes on it. It looked and smelled delicious. She waited on Asher to come back before she dug in. Mickey and Sylvia were still asleep and she had no idea where Aspen and Grey were. Asher came back a second later with his own tray and sat down beside her. She gave him pa
