All Chapters of MATCH MADE IN HELL.: Chapter 11 - Chapter 18

I have not been sleeping well lately. I end up staying awake, thinking all sorts of things. No matter how hard I try I can't seem to shut my mind off. Tonight after trying for almost three hours, I decide to go for a walk. It is quiet than I had thought it would be. That is the downside of living in a small town, almost nothing is operational after ten p.m. There are few people on the streets, mostly couples and teenagers who have snuck out of their homes. I go to the only mini mart that runs for twenty-four hours. I mumble a quick hello to the cashier and head inside. I am not entirely sure what to get but I feel like I have to buy something after coming in so late. I decide to get more coffee. I pay and say goodnight which she answers enthusiastically.I decide to take the long way back home, having my earphones as company. I am almost half way there when I hear something move. I look behind me but see no one. I continue walking but hear a noise again. This time I pause the music. I

Neither of us has said anything since we got back into the car. A lot of things are replaying in my mind. As much as I am grateful that he came to get me, there's still something about him that scares me. I catch him looking at me and look out the window. It's late and there's no one around. I close my eyes so he'll think I am asleep. What is going on with Jade? She's been my constant since my family died. Suddenly I feel so alone. Can it be that even after all this while I can't really count on her? How is it at the end of the day the person i'm with is a possible murderer patient? How is it that he is the one who seems to understand me? I can feel tears welling in my eyes. They fall and I turn away and wipe them. I don't know if he notices but he doesn't say anything.The car stops and I open my eyes. We are outside my apartment. "Thank you and good night," I quickly turn to open the door but he beats me to it. He locks my door from his side. "What?" I ask looking out the window afr

I've been five days in the hospital and I was starting to get antsy. Jade and her whole family had come to visit me the next day. Since then only Jade has been coming every single day which I really appreciate. Kerrick had asked me about the accident. I had told him I was the one who had crossed the road before looking out for cars. I had told him about the guys stalking me. He had taken the description of each of them and the car. We had talked for a while which wasn't easy with Avan staring daggers at us. I wanted to ask him about his mother but given how he had reacted with me telling Jade, I figured he wouldn't be comfortable with talking about it infront of Avan. He had given me a forehead kiss before leaving which nearly drove Avan crazy. I enjoyed watching him acting jelous especially after how cool he had acted after our make out session in his car. He hadn't move from my side for more than an hour a day. He acted like a body guard and screened everyone who wanted to see me, a

One...two....three, i hear a knock at my door. I like how predictable Claudia is. At exactly eight in the morning she knocks and comes in to help me freshen up and go downstairs for breakfast. "Good morning Vienna, hope you slept well," after three days she finally got used to calling me by my name. "I did. Hope you slept well too," i try to get myself out of bed but she rushes to my side. I can't wait for tomorrow to get out of this damn cast. Avan has been trying hard to entertain me, which mostly is me playing cards with his guards and watching his chef cook. He has been busy still, either there is a work emergency at the worst possible time or he's avoiding me. Claudia and I have breakfast in silence. After breakfast i decide to get a book and read it outside for a change. "Let me get it for you," Claudia is already on her feet immediately the thought is out of my mouth. "Don't, i can do it myself," i say it with a finality that indicates it's not up for discusssion. I use my cru
