All Chapters of Second Chance or Nightmare?: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Hey,Cass! How long until you get here?…. What do you mean you can’t make it? I have been waiting on you for an hour!” Ally groaned and hung up. Her best friend, Cassie, was supposed to meet her at the bar but apparently Cass’s new boy toy showed up so she got “sidetracked” and wasn’t coming now. Ally had been sitting at the bar drinking pretty steadily, after all, this was the first weekend where her kids were at their dad’s for the whole weekend and she really didn’t know what to do with herself. She had welcomed Cass’s invite but now has to decide what to do. Ally had already been hit on four times and was in no mood for another conversation with a man trying to take her home so she decided she would finish her drink and head out. She no more got the words out to tab out to the bartender when another guy sat down beside her and tried to strike up a conversation. Ally politely let him know she was not interested and turned to face the other way when the mad grabbed her wrist and

Guilt burns deep, but what do you do if even then you want the one thing you shouldn’t? “Can you make it to Kaden’s tonight for my birthday party? There will be several people there. I have someone I want you to meet,” Collier’s text read. That pull, like all I wanted in my life was to be near him. It had been two weeks since we slept together and two weeks of guilt eating me alive. Two weeks of me wanting him so badly that I couldn’t think of anything else. This was the kids’ weekend at dad’s again so technically I could make it. Did I want to though? Well of course I wanted to, but should I? As far as I know they are moving on with the wedding. Who am I to get in the middle of that? “Sure,” I replied. What an idiot I thought. But. I am going to tell him we can’t be friends soon but not for his birthday. I am not that big of a bitch. I arrived fashionably late and as soon as I walked in I could FEEL his presence. I didn’t need to look for him. I could feel as he approached me

Asher really was the perfect gentleman. His brother however apparently decided to come since I was coming (according to Asher) and spent the whole time glaring holes into my head. He wouldn’t even speak to me. There may not be any feelings for Asher but I was content to hang out with him. And that is what we did. Asher met my kids but I told all of them that we were just friends. We enjoyed each other’s company. We went to ball games and dinners and car shows. It was fun, but I was always very sure to make sure he knew it wasn’t serious. I didn’t want him like that. His brother still haunted my body, my mind, and my soul. Apparently Collier really had called the wedding off and broke up with Madison after that night at his party. BUT he was now dating someone 10 years younger that did not look like his type. Which who was I kidding. I wasn’t his type. Why was I even worried about it. It isn’t like he even gave me a second thought. Collier’s POV Really? My brother. He is not a g

Collier’s POVI heard Amanda scream from upstairs for someone to call 911. I heard Ally’s name and my blood ran cold. Amanda was screaming orders at someone to bring her a shirt when I made it to the top of the stairs. Jack stood closest to her untying her hands. What the hell was going on? Without thinking I took my shirt on and pulled it on over her head. She was motionless. Covered in blood. How had we not heard this? Who did this? Jack moved towards her and I instinctively pulled her towards me and gave Jack a warning look. Don’t touch her. Mine. Kayden tried to pull her away from me to let Amanda look at her and I saw red. “Collier, we have to see how bad it is. We need to get her to a hospital. I know you love her and we do too. I promise we are trying to help. We want to help. Let us help her.” I loosened my grip on her. In the mean time Bree had made it in the room and was staring at me. “Why does she have YOUR shirt on? Could no one else volunteer? I don’t like how close yo

Ally’s POV It was all such a bad dream. I could feel myself flip the switch. My emotions closed off. I felt nothing. I am used to handling it all my self. Emotions are weakness. And a baby? I can’t process it yet. Once I get home, Collier refuses to leave so my only sanctuary is the shower. He hugs me and my emotions threatened to overtake me. I laid down in the bath and just cried. I don’t know how long I was there before 2 arms scooped me up and just sat in the running shower with me in my mess. I could feel the electricity course through my veins again and knew he was my safe place. He was my home. At some point I fell asleep crying. I woke up a few hours later in matching pajamas and curled up in my bed. I could tell he had been in the bed with me based on the way the blankets fell on the other side of the bed. I immediately panicked. I needed him by me. I grabbed my phone and saw all of the messages and calls from the last few days. I had talked to the kids and they were co
