And When She Was Bad Novels & Stories

Wind whistled, swirling inside the chimney, knocking against the bricks. Vanessa paid eeri attention to it. Anytime now, she'd drift off to sleep. Whatever had happened, she had not invited it. She used that sentence to remind herself that things happened. She wasn't always a train wreck. She wasn't always a problem-magnet. She had her good moments, maybe the unkindly events outshone them sometimes. But she still had good moments.

"Are you one of the bad guys? They came last night and they killed some people and also took out things away." I burst into laughter at her naivety. "If I was a bad guy, you would have known. Let me tell you something you don't know. When a bad guy comes to you, they are never nice. They don't act like I do. They burn down places and kill people but I am not here to do any of that," She looked at me, eyes wide with interest. "So that means you aren't a bad guy, right?" I nodded. "Yes, I am not a bad guy."

When she said she was bad. In my drunken state, I didn’t realize what she meant, but the more I thought about it, the more I wondered why she would think she was a bad person. Had she done something wrong? Was that something her parents told her? Or was it because of her guilt about what happened to Dylan and me? Because that wasn’t her fault. She got paired with a massive asshole who took things too far. And maybe I took things too far as well, even though I wish I would have gone even farther every time I saw his stupid face.

“Stop saying bad things about her.” “Bad things? It wasn’t me who said bad things to her first. It was you, Chadwick. You told me before how selfish she was, and you cannot stand being with her under the same roof. That’s why, I am getting you out of the b*tch’s clasp.”

Lilian stared at the notification on her phone in disbelief. "No, you're not," I said. "I promised you, didn't I? You help me with this, and I'll make you rich. Now, you don't have to please another man just to get what you want." "Alaina, you're so kind to me, yet I treated you that way. I…" Lilian fell to her knees and began hitting herself. I pulled her up quickly. "It's alright. Just promise me you'll make better choices from now on, and I'll be happy for you. You can go home and build your dream house, just like you wanted."

It could have been her, or it was just a bad joke. - Stupid! Stupid! Why did you call? Hearing his voice won't do you any good. She covers her head and lies there, waiting for sleep to come.

“Is that bad?” “It’s very bad!” She shrieked. She then took a deep breath in and slowly exhaled to calm herself down. I noticed she was very animated in all her actions. “Okay, listen up. You are to stay as far away from them as possible, got it?” My eyebrows furrowed as I asked, "but why?” “But wh- because they're the bad guys!” she replied as if it was common knowledge. I was getting annoyed as my feet started tapping on the ground rapidly. I felt like I was wasting my time here.

she snapped. Things are about to go bad....
