Jay Lewis I Hope Novels & Stories

“As you wish, my love.” Levi seems calmer now, and as we pull up to Hope’s house I am feeling better about the situation. Perhaps Hope can set his mind at ease in a way that I can’t. I really hope so. Hope sees our car pull up and runs out. She looks so excited to see us that it seems like I may get my wish. “Levi, Amber, come in! I’ve just finished Hope’s medicine! And I want to show you what I’ve been working on, it’s terrific!”

Then I turned and walked away. "Grayson! Don't!" Jess scrambled after me, grabbing onto me desperately, sobbing so hard she could barely breathe. "I was wrong—I know I was wrong. Don't leave…" She lifted her tear-streaked face. The eyes that once made my heart race now held nothing but desperate pleading. "For the sake of our ten years together… can you give me one more chance?"

Poor kid. It was late afternoon by the time Caleb was back at Seth’s cabin, packing up his things to leave. There came a knock at the door and expecting it to be Seth, Caleb was bowled over when he saw Hope at the other side. Dread filled his body. What did she want now? “Leaving so soon?” cooed Hope, almost pouting. “I was hoping to get to spend some time with you at dinner this evening.” “I’m sorry but I need to get back home. I’ve already been away for far too long. Plus Leah needs me now more than ever.” Caleb almost swallowed his tongue, kicking himself for mentioning Leah to Hope, knowing it would only spike her jealousy even more.

I hope they find their happiness together. ********* vote, read, comment, and leave a review. Leahgisselle.

He placed his palms reassuringly on Toby's shoulders. "She's a strong woman, Toby. And you are too. Besides, no one says you'll die soon." "I know right but It's hard to think about living." he muttered. "Well, I guess this is where hope comes to play right? " Lewis asked rhetorically " keep hope alive and do whatever stuffs that makes you happy so you have less depressing thoughts.” "I'm trying hard to do that." "That's great. At least you're trying. Besides, i want to see you get yourself a girlfriend while graduating from highschool looking as healthy as the word itself.” Lewis said with a wink.

His eyes literally lit up the moment he mentioned Haley's name. Hope the assistant didn't have a thing for his wife. The stupid guy always appeared happy whenever Haley's topic was brought up. Liam wasn't a kid not to notice that. He'd only chosen to ignore it in the past, but now, he couldn't ignore the burning jealousy. Well, Joye would know where to draw the line. Otherwise, he might not only lose his job. “Great!” Joye exclaimed. “Madam seems to have forgotten about her jewelry design assignment. The wedding is near, I'll get to remind her.”

"Mom, how much longer do we have to stay? This is boring." "Another hour. Then we can go home." "Can Daniel and I at least go get food from the buffet?" "Yes, but use actual plates, not your pockets like last time." Hope, now thirteen and startlingly perceptive, was interviewing people with her phone. She'd developed interest in journalism, specifically stories about justice system reform. "I'm doing documentary project for school," she explained when I asked what she was doing. "About the foundation and how it started. Hope that's me—is ironic name for someone born during dad's legal troubles, and I want to explore that."

Levi shouts out again and it's funny how confused he generally is and of course, Jake being Jake he doesn't miss a thing either. "Well it's about time, I'm seriously happy for you Alex, and for my daughter." His warm smile fills my heart and for a moment has me wishing that my own dad could be here to see this moment. I know he and my mom always hoped that I would find a chosen mate after what happened with Ella and Anna and I know they aren't here but I hope somehow they know that I'm happy and that I've met the love of my life. "What the fuck am I missing?" Levi shouts out again and both Theo and I laugh at the pure look of confusion that's laced across his face.

She was trying to be nice, but Jasmine could sense that it appeared forced. "Jason never spoke about you though," Jasmine informed her, getting straight to the point. Jasmine didn't like the kind of energy she was getting from the other lady. Her smile seemed very fake and she saw hundreds of girls like her who felt entitled for no good reason. "Oh well Jason has a lot of secrets you know, you shouldn't worry your pretty head about all that, you might be too stunned to speak if you found out," Hope said with a wicked smirk. "Well it didn't take you a minute to break out of character…. Hope," she sniggered.
