11. The Save

ARDENI slammed into the man with everything I had.We both went down hard and the crate crashed right where he was standing. The impact was explosive and it sent the beer and broken glass flying everywhere making a massive sound.Harry ran to my side immediately, "Arden! Are you okay?""I'm fine," I said, but my palms were hurting painfully from hitting the concrete and my knees were throbbing inside my stockings.Before I could even get myself together, everybody started yelling at once."What the hell!""Who let her back here!""Someone call Mr. Peterson!"I ignored all of them and looked at the man I'd knocked over. He was already sitting up, brushing glass off his shirt like everything happening around him was just a minor inconvenience.Then he turned to look at me with a calm expression, "How did you know?" he asked.“What?” I pretended to not understand his question.“How did yoy know the crate was going to fall?” He asked again looking at me directly now.How did I know? I

12. Jake I

ARDEN The rest of the workers slid into their usual spots. It was a tight squeeze and somehow I ended up sandwiched between Harry and Big Mike with Dominic. "You guys come here that often?" Harry asked. "Every day that God gives us," Big Mike said proudly. Rosie came back with coffee first and set a cup in front of me. Then she stopped and looked at my bandaged hands and looked at Tommy with one eyebrow raised. Tommy sat up straighter immediately and started talking like he was pushed to confess all his sins. "Okay so picture this," he started. "This tiny corporate lady suddenly sprints across the loading dock in heels after the guys give her a hard time, and shoves the big boss right out of the way before a crate lands exactly where his head was. It was like seeing a movie in real time. She saved us from a lot of trouble today!” Rosie looked at me slowly. Then she picked up my coffee cup and refilled it to the top. "That's on the house, any one who saves my boys is welcomed here

13. Jake II

ARDENDanny almost fell out of his chair when he saw us walk into the pediatric ward."Arden?" He stood up so fast he knocked his plastic cup off the armrest. "What are you doing here?""Something brought me around so I decided to stop by," I said, which was a complete lie and we both knew it.A woman was sitting next to a small bed where Jake was. She looked exhausted."This is my wife Nicole," Danny said. "Nicole, this is the woman from work today that I told you about."Nicole stood up immediately. "You're the one who saved them" Her voice cracked slightly. "Danny hasn't stopped talking about you.""How is Jake?" I asked, looking at the little boy in the bed."He’s trying his best." Danny said softly.Jake had big round cheeks even with the fever making them flushed and he was asleep.I turned to look at Danny. "Can you point me to the billing department?"Danny frowned. "Why?""Because I'm going to talk to them.""Arden you don't have to—""Danny." I looked at him. "Please just

14. In His Place

ARDEN“Arden! Hope you didn't have it too hard yesterday!” She looked at me like she was truly concerned.“It wasn't so bad. It was a blessing in disguise!” I said smiling. Rita looked surprised and annoyed but then she changed her face to relief.“Thats good to hear! Well, Mr Richard wants to see you and he told me to come get you.” She smiled sweetly, and I knew I was about to have it hard.We made our way to his office and immediately Richard saw me, he threw a folder at me."I received a complaint from the brewery supervisor this morning. Apparently you entered a restricted area and caused problems! You were gone all day yesterday and that wasn't enough but you wasted the day being incompetent?” Rita's face softened as she turned to Mr Richard sweetly as she started, “Arden tried her best even though it's not enough. Being a stable worker for so long, what you told her to do might have made her feel like the work was a waste of her time and skills which deserves bigger opportunit

15. How is He Everywhere?

ARDENOf course it was him.Of all the people in all the hospitals in this entire city, the person standing there holding all my bags like he hadn't just appeared out of thin air was Jett Mercer.I stared at him. He looked back at me completely unbothered, like finding me in a hospital lobby buried under toy bags was a perfectly normal Tuesday evening for him."It’s getting a bit comical now, don't you think?” He continued and even had the nerve of shining his perfect teeth!!"I had those," I said, reaching for my bags."You were almost falling sideways." He countered, still holding them firmly."I was adjusting my grip." I muttered inaudibly."Sure you were." Was all he said while giving me a pointed look.I dropped my hand because we both knew I was lying and arguing about it was just embarrassing at this point. He had found me drugged and unconscious in his hotel room, carried me to bed, stayed up all night watching over me and sent me breakfast the next morning. The least I could

16. A Bully and a Past

ARDENI had dreamt about my death again yet again but this time I was in the hospital dying of cancer while Lucas and Rita were celebrating over it.I got to the office early, after rushing to my favourite spot to get my coffee. I didn't notice the letter on my desk till I was looking for a file I needed to work on today.It fell with a soft thud on the ground and I picked it up to see it was from Riley. The delivery man had probably dropped it off before I arrived.I smiled immediately. Riley always sent the most random things. Last time she sent me pictures of her vacation in the Philippines. I tore it open wondering what she had sent this time.And a wedding invitation slid out.I read the name on it and my heart started beating faster.Jade Kimmel.My smile was gone so fast it was like it was never there. I had completely forgotten what had happened before.[FLASHBACK]Riley and I became friends not in the usual way to say the least. It was because nobody else wanted to be us.She

17. Watch out for a Snake

ARDENShe turned to her food and continued eating like she had decided in that moment that surviving meant pretending she didn't know the soaking wet girl standing in the middle of the cafeteria.I stood there for a long time waiting for someone to help me or do something but nobody stood up.I cleaned up the tray by myself. Walked to the bathroom by myself. Locked the stall and sat on the closed lid and pressed both hands over my mouth and cried as hard as I have ever cried in complete silence.Then I wiped my face and went back to class.Riley tried to apologize after school. She caught up with me at the bus stop and said "Arden, I'm sorry, I didn't know she was going to do that, I couldn't say anything because if I said something she would have started on me again and I can't go back to that, I can't—""I know," I said."Are you angry at me?" she asked.I looked at her guilty face and the way she was nervous. She was genuinely sorry but I know she would do it again. "I'm not angr

18. Be the Snake I

RITAArden was getting on her nerves.She had been watching her all morning and the more she watched the more irritated she became. This morning Rita had swallowed her pride and apologized first and brought coffee and Arden had just said thank you.This was so odd to her because Arden used to be like "Rita, I feel so bad." "Are you sure you're okay?" “Please forgive me!”“Let me make it up to you!”Instead she had collected the coffee and said “Thank you?!” like Rita had done something completely ordinary.And the wedding invitation Sage made her even more mad. She had spent five whole minutes explaining exactly why going was the right move and Arden had sat there and said she wasn't sure she was going! The old Arden would never have done that. The old Arden would have at least heard her out properly and considered going just to make her happy!The old Arden did everything Rita suggested because that was just how things worked between them.This Arden was saying no to things wit

19. Be the Snake II

RITA There were too many people watching. Rita stood there in her ruined outfit. She had saved painfully to buy this set because it was an expensive brand and she had only worn it specifically today to impress Richard. She was still frozen in shock and she could not utter a single word. "It's fine," Rita finally broke her silence. "It was an accident." It wasn't fine! She was furious as hell! But she couldn't snap at Arden because then she would be the bad guy. It's better to take the high road and gain pity. That was always the smarter move. Let Arden look guilty and let everyone feel sorry for Rita. A ruined outfit was nothing compared to what she could milk out of this situation if she played it right. And Rita always played it right. She walked to the restroom with as much dignity as she could manage. She stood at the mirror and looked at herself and breathed. There was curry on her blazer and rice scattered everywhere even in her hair. Her carefully done blowout was

20. Peas in a Pod

ARDENMy boyfriend, and supposedly the one who should care about me the most just breezed through.I watched Lucas walk straight past me to Rita and I had to physically stop myself from laughing. Was it really funny? No. But there's humor when you know how something would play out and it does exactly that. He was crouching next to her now, touching her hair, holding her face and asking if she was okay with this voice I used to think he reserved only for me.Hahaha. I was such an idiot!"Does it hurt anywhere?" he said."I'm fine now," Rita said softly, leaning into his hands a little too much. "It was just an accident." She sighed dramatically."Your outfit looks…" His eyes roamed her body taking in the damage from the curry."It doesn't matter." She smiled up at him so patiently, unbothered and completely saintly that I almost wanted to applaud. "These things happen."And then her eyes slid to me. Filled with warmth and full of love for her dear dear sister."Poor Arden didn't me
