"Notify Legal. The agreement needs to be rewritten. I don't just want Vivian ground into the dirt—I want every cent she stole over the years clawed back, and every bit of suffering she put Claire through repaid in full." By then, Vivian had already sensed the storm coming. She'd abandoned the children without a second thought and, under cover of night, fled with her mother. Stupid as ever.

When the rag was pulled from Vivian's mouth, she dry-heav

“I was going to listen.” “Shocking,” I mutter. His reflection appears in the window. Arms crossed. Leaning against the console. Same as always. I ignore him and let my hands wander into the new song I started yesterday. The one about his stupid, beautiful cage. I hum, barely audible. Let the words climb in where they want. *Your walls are lined with secrets / every stone a signed regret / you call them fortifications / I call them unpaid debts…* My voice is scratchy, a little frayed at the edges, but it feels…right.

Who would've thought that he'd…" Wendy's expression turned stormy. "Nathan Hill! I never pegged you for someone who'd be capable of doing something like that! Apologize to Harvey at once!"

They swayed around as she sing the second verse I've never really know what love is But whatever it is I feel it in your kiss You waltzed in like somebody planned it all I feel right where I belong My knees are weak My heart is strong So give me your word And I'll give you all I've got No we don't have much But it sure feels like a lot So take my heart and take my hand Take my heart and take my hand Take my heart and take my hand again and again Right where we stand Areszo felt so happy for the both of them. Hades handed him a tissue to wipe his tears. Lawrence, on the other side, is watching them both dance in the middle as they look at each other. Madly and deeply in love with each other.

A little sympathy, I hope you can show me If you're leavin', baby, let me down slowly Cold skin, drag my feet on the tile As I'm walking down the corridor And I know we haven't talked in a while So I'm looking for an open door Don't cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste

'I want to run far, far away To a place where I feel I can stay Stay somewhere I feel welcome And not like an outcast Because it seems everywhere I go I feel like a victim eaten up fast For once I plead Someone to ask me Will you please...' The last line is not quite there. I can’t seem to reach into my mind to pluck out the correct piece in this poetic puzzle. "It's not the right time. I have to go home and do it." I couldn't think properly. The school bathroom is not a place to write poems.

He leaned back as Stan heard the song progresses into a much more melancholy tune. He did the same and they were both observing the walls while listening to the song. How can I try to explain? 'Cause when I do he turns away again It's always been the same, same old story From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away

in’…I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the street…So I gotta be down with the hood team…Too much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams…I'm a educated fool with money on my mind…Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye…I'm a loc'd out gangsta, set trippin' banger…And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger…Fool, death ain't nothin' but a heart beat away…I'm livin' life do or die, what can I say?…I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24?…The way things is goin', I don't know…Tell me why are we so blind to see…That the ones we hurt are you and me?…Been spendin' most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise…Been spendin' most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise…Keep

She began to sing a slow, quiet song they both knew—a simple, old tune about coming home. As she sang, the tears started to track down Hades's huge cheeks. The past year had been a movie, a storm that brought them to the brightest sunlight. She was so grateful they had made it. She finished the song and walked straight into Hades's arms. He held her tight, his large body shaking with silent, happy sobs. "A whole year," he choked out, his voice thick with emotion. "I thought I'd lost you so many times, Zaya."
