     I ran out the door as fast as I could. My house was on fire. Where was my mom? Was she still alive? Thinking clearly was impossible. I had to go, and I had to go now. Leaving this building was something I had to do. I had to find my mom. My panicked thoughts were racing as fast as I was running. The world felt like it was spinning as I ran. I was so distracted that I ran right into another person. Right as I reached the elevator.       “Ouch, fuck I am so sorry!” I try to get up, but I am unable to alone. I am dizzy and shaking. Strong hands help me up, steadying me. I felt a zap race through me, settling my nerves. I was still panicked, but the world didn't feel like it was crumbling underneath me, and the spinning stopped.     “It’s okay, Darling,” a deep male voice answere

      Mom... I looked down at my mother. Machines beeping keeping her alive. She seemed at peace laying there. The look of utter grief was gone from her face. It was beautiful to see, but also heartbreaking to know she was here because she couldn’t leave the house due to her grief.       “Mom, I don’t know what to do anymore....” I held her hand as I quietly cried. I really wish we could have had the talks we used to have before I lost her in her grief from Dad’s death. She always knew how to talk to me when I needed it, but she never told me what to do. She just knew how to navigate the mess of a maze my mind would make‌.        Figuring out where to stay is my first priority until we sort out the house. I spoke with her just like I had since Dad died. A one-way co

      40,000? How in the world? I couldn’t stop counting the zeros. How in the world did I get that much? I didn’t think the town had that as a whole.    “How?” That was the only thing I could say.      “Well, the town raised about 10,000; half of that came from the Holloways,” which seemed right. They did 5,000, and the town did about the same. Wait… where did the other 30k come from…. I scroll past the 10s and 20s of donations from familiar names around town. Again, this was one of the many reasons living in a small town was wonderful. People really come together to help each other when in desperate need. I scrolled all the way to the bottom. There it was…. Right after Jess started it with 50 bucks. Anonymous 30k, who the hell do I know has that much? It had to be a mistake, no one just had 30k laying around for a nob

      I fell right to sleep as we drove back into town. Thankful it was a bit of a drive, so I got to rest. No dreams haunted me while I napped, and I felt better when we arrived at Jess's house. There was a truck out front that I didn't recognize. It was blacked out and lifted. You had to be tall to even try to climb into that thing.      “Oh! Good he is still here.” Jess said more to herself.     “Who?” I asked. Clearly, she knew who owned the black truck.     “You will see.” Jess smiled at me wickedly.       I follow her with a couple of my bags. The driver told me to go inside, that he would bring the rest of it in. I felt bad, but I couldn't a

“So? How was it?” Jess asked now that her parents have left. “What are you talking about?” I asked her. No way she would be so bold while Luka could walk in at any moment. “Oh, you know exactly what I mean; otherwise, your face wouldn’t be so red right now.” Jess grinned so wide I knew I was done for. “Fine. It was good. I was going to tell him about my day, then he pulled me in close, and all I could think about was kissing him.” I tell her quickly between gritted teeth.“Annnd?” She was so bad sometimes. “Annnd I kissed him. I didn’t want to stop, it felt so good.” I see Luka walking back up to the door. “And that is it. Until later…” Jess couldn’t help but giggle at my discomfort.”“I see you ladies are enjoying yourselves,” Luka said, looking us over.“Not as much as you guys enjoyed each other moments ago.” Jess teased. If this really upset me, I could tell her, and she would instantly stop. Yeah, it was embarrassing, but it came from a good place. With knowing all that, I c
