YOU WAITED

He stood in front of me, held my face between his hands and stared down at me.I waited, once again, I did.For what? This time I didn't know.But the moment he spoke, I knew, the wait was over."You waited." He said.I gasped." You waited." He breathed.

Chapter 28

Yesterday surely felt like a dream. It was too unreal and right as I stand on the balcony, drinking my coffee just to warm up, because of the cold day, I think back to two years ago.I was still way too young compared to now, maybe a bit naive and hopeful of a better tomorrow, whenever a day became the yesterday.Being married surely changed my life in so many ways, I lived a life of waiting as my heart continued to beat for Keith. I never really opened up myself for people to actually get to know me, therefore I lost myself in everything to do with Keith.The divorce kinda opened my eyes yet still hurting my heart. I reunited with my friend James as well as made new ones, London and Theresa. Living on my own brought me back to when I was knocked into the reality of not having my mother around. Where it was just me and me alone.Yes my heart was breaking but I was starting to make decisions for myself a

Chapter 27

I shyly sneak a glance at Keith, whilst he's driving , a blush warms my cheeks at thoughts of what happened at the restaurant, his words, the way he was so gentle with me until now and of course, the awesome cake I can't wait to devour, that's on my lap.Not being able to control myself, I turn my head to really take him in. So many words ring in mind as I stare at him.Handsome, hot, dreamy......I could go on."Stop, that's distracting." He says."But I didn't even do anything." I try suppress a grin." You're staring." " Sorry." I quickly look away, playfully drumming my fingers on the cake box.A hand covers mine. I smile at this. Arriving home, he gets out and comes over to my side, helping me out of the car.Right when I'm out of the car, his jacket is placed over my shoulders, preventing the cold from making me

Chapter 26

I'm jolted awake by a noise coming from the door. I don't have time to react when the door is opened and I hear someone enter the room.Good thing my back is facing the person.The bed dips and I hold my breath." Kea, I know you're awake." Joe.I sigh out in relief, glancing over my shoulder at him." Why are you here Joe?" "Joey, I'm here as Joey. Your friend, remember?" I sigh again, rolling over onto my back, turning my head to him. "What's wrong? " " I ruined everything." "And by everything you mean?" "My friendship with Keith, I snapped and basically hinted in me being in love with him. Gosh I feel stupid, feel embarrassed." I groan out, now thinking about earlier."Well it was bound to happen." "What do you mean?" "You've been holding onto

Chapter 25

I can't believe I'm doing this. Well I can't believe this is happening, I'm travelling with Keith.When he asked me to accompany him, I wasn't really thinking straight, I was still stunned about what happened with London. Everything after he left and I agreed to go with Keith, became a blur. Now I'm sitting beside Keith, who's busy on his laptop. Probably with work.We're going to the airport right now and I'm nervously excited to go to Aspen. I've never been to Aspen. To add to this excitement, I'm going with Keith. I know he might be busy with work and all but when he's not busy, I'll just have to drag him around and create a little fun for the both of us. You know, creating memories.My mom would be squealing with joy at watching me travel to places. She'd always known that I had a heart for travelling, experiencing new things, learning and storing memories of a life time.I watch curiously as we pas

Chapter 24

I wait patiently for Keith to show up. We'd made plans to go watch a movie tonight and I must say , I'm looking forward to it.We'd texted back and forth in the afternoon, and he'd suggested that we go out for a movie tonight. Now here I am, still waiting for him. I know that he's a bit late and I have no doubt he might be tied up at work. I just hope he'll be able to make it because if he doesn't, no doubt I'll be a little disappointed but I'll still understand. He is a busy man.A knock on the door has me jumping up and rushing to the door. My smile wavers a bit when Keith is not the one on my doorstep but it's Theresa." Theresa hey." I fix myself and a genuine smile makes it's way onto my face, though a bit disappointed but still happy to see my friend." I saw that, you were expecting someone else weren't you?" Right to the point.How does she do tha

The day had filled with a new norm for myself, only for things to take a turn when he just rocked up on my doorstep.What had caused a change of heart or even changed the way he viewed things. Such questions stay locked at the back of my head, not wanting anything to mess up the wonderful moment I feel.In the two years of my marriage , such an act of him on his knees, pleading for forgiveness and asking for my friendship has never happened.The moment those words left his lips, I swear my heart stopped. Giddy, that's how I feel, to have a much closer look at his life, being led into his thoughts, dreams and all. I don't even know what could be more worth it, then getting to k

THIS TIME

Skylar Grey, ' the stay out of everyone's business and mind her own type of person ,' never knew that her life would change entirely, when she met Reece Cullen on one Summer Night. She still carries those months from two years ago, into memory. It took quite a while for her to get over what happened. Now months into a new town, new school, new friends and with her focused on finishing school, everything seems to be going in the direction she had set out for herself. It's not long when she's finally settled in and getting used to her new normal, that Reece shows up back into her life, with intention to stay in her life. The problem is that Skylar doesn't want that, especially now that his childhood best friend, Colton Davies is involved. With her life turning upside down all of a sudden, THIS TIME, it's a matter of resistence, pursuit and truth. A question lies in her path, in which she fall under.

Chapter 16

I turn to face my mother, after a while since that man had left. I turn to face my mother when I'm reminded of the condition that man had put her under, with his attitude towards her." Are you okay mom?" I ask, more like speak up first between us since she's busy staring at the living room doorway.She snaps out of whatever thought she had been stuck in, turning to face me." I'm okay sweetheart." She says, offering a small smile but even that is hard to manage.She's still upset and she can't hide it. It's impossible." Mom, you're not. That man, Ethan -"" How do you know his name?" She gasps in surprise.I frown in confusion for her reaction." Uh he told me his name last night, remember you were here?"" Oh yeah, sorry. I forgot all about that."" Mom, are you sure that he is just a friend? "

Chapter 15

You know, you weren't meant to find out like this?" He says along our walk." Is that your way of explaining it?" I ask." No, I think it's a start. Honestly, I don't know how to explain it." He sighs in what I can recognise as resignation.I pull to a stop and turn to face him." What was your intention behind what you did?"" I simply wanted a picture of you."" Why?"His ears seem to redden at the top. " Maybe because I think you are really beautiful."My own face flushes and I find myself blinking up at him." I know I sound like a creep when I say I really wanted a picture of you, but I did. "" Uh, I think we should sit down." I quickly say, walking past him to seat at one of those side walk benches." Look Skylar, I don't want you to see me as some weired -"" It's

Chapter 14.

I waited impatiently, for the second time tonight for Reece Cullen to show up. This time, I'm the one who called and asked him to meet me.No, I dont want to talk about earlier but something else, I have a feeling that it's him who sent those pictures. I don't know why he did it and I want to find out the reason for trying to mess with me.I suspect that it's some form of retaliation against me, after what happened earlier and I will not allow him to mess with me." Skylar?" I snap out of my thoughts and turn around to face him.He's still in the same clothes from earlier, I don't know why I'm surprised by that." You actually called, I didn't think you ever would again."I march up to him. " You did it did you - Why would you even do that!" I shout, shoving him back." Woah - Skylar, what did I do?" He staggers back in surprise." You sen

Chapter 13.

"Mom, where did you -"" In your room, in your bedside drawer. I was looking for my charger because I couldn't find it and then I saw this. Why do you still have it Skylar?"" It's my business mom." I try snatch it out of her hand, but she keeps it out of reach." No, it's our business actually, because we both went through it together."" Mom, it's just a picture. Don't make it into something big, please." I sigh, rising to my feet." Skylar, is there something I should know?"" There's nothing. Now please can I have it back?" I hold out my hand." Why haven't you thrown it away or burnt it?"I frown." Why should I?" I can't help the words from spilling out of my mouth." To move on!" She takes a calming breath before starting again. " Haven't we talked about moving on and leaving things in the past

Chapter 12

I blink at them, letting their words sink in. They kissed. Colton and Mikayla kissed and - oh my gosh they kissed. This must mean one thing then, that they like each other but I never noticed." Skylar?" I snap out of my thoughts and look at Mk." Huh?"" You're too quiet, are you okay?" I glance between them and I see them both wear worried looks, as they stare back at me.'You're too quiet, speak up.' My consciousness says.But what do I say? - I answer my consciousness.Anything dummo, they've been waiting for you to say something." Would you like anything to drink?" I find myself asking Colton, who's brows shoot up in surprise." Uh yeah, sure. Water please." He awkwardly glances at Mk before nodding at me.I nod and leave the room.While I get a glass of w

Chapter 11

' I cant pretend like you!" I cant believe that his words are making me question myself, more so my decisions thus far.I know that I haven't been exactly fair on him, well the part of pretending to not know him. I just cant cave and let him back into my life, the memories that come with him aren't nice and I have tried, to put some things behind me.I dont want to reminise about her or I will fall weak, to my questioning of my decision back then. I am not even positive that I wanted to let her go but I did.I am not saying that I want to go looking for the baby I gave away, but my decision was not whole hearted and that, still leaves a nagging feeling.I have felt incomplete eversince I started questioning my decision two years ago. My mom doesn't know about this and I dont want to worry her, that's why I try avoid any topic related to two years ago.My mom worr

BEGIN AGAIN

He understood me like no other.He knew me inside out.I could never hide anything from him.Well.....apart from the strange sudden flutter my heart made one day.Something which should not belong to him.Yet it did.....

Chapter 29

"Hello." I answer the call I'd just received, whilst I'd excused myself to the bathroom.No answer.That's strange.This is not the first time I've received a blank call, I didn't really take it that seriously. Not that I will right now.Shaking my head, I finish up with my business and then head out, preparing to eat. My steps faulter when I take notice of Sam, who's no longer alone at our table. The back of the person's head has me suspecting who the person might be, but not wanting to assume, I continue on to the table.Sam's eyes quickly find me as I draw near."Roman?" I say in surprise, despite my suspicions."Hey." He turns to face me, sitting opposite Sam."W-what are you doing here?" "He was here alone, there weren't any available tables, so..." He trails off, glancing between Roman and I."So

Chapter 28

Opening my locker to relieve myself of some books, a pink note pops out with a razor attached to it, landing on the floor. Suspecting that it might be another challenge, I pick both up and turn it over, not wasting time in running my eyes over the words.Freedom.That alone tells me far more than needs be. I need to free my partner.The only clue given is that the room is big, fit for all activities and quite a distance to run to.My first thoughts are on the school gym.With that thought alone I throw everything in my locker, shutting it closed before falling into a full sprint towards gym. "Out of the way!" I scream at people who are in my way.I don't even look around to see who's behind me nor who's ahead of me, my only goal being to free Roman of whatever may lock him down.Such strength and speed I don't know where I get i

Chapter 27

"What?" I finally ask, turning to face Avery, who's been staring at me for some time now, after Roman left."Nothing." She looks back down to her magazine, trying to avoid eye contact."Really, you actually expect me to leave this be, after you've been staring at me for God knows how long." She sighs, sitting upright now and looking at me. She opens and closes her mouth, she looks to be struggling with what to say."What is it?" I press."It's nothing really, just that -" "What?"" I know that you're just partners, but the way you two are so comfortable around each other, one would think you two have known each other for so long ." Yeah all our lives. I shake my head off that thought."Partners, that's all there is." I mumble, not meeting her eyes." I know that but the way h

Chapter 26

I can't keep my eyes off of him right now as he stands in front of his bike, his back to me. I bite at my fingernail, telling myself that I'll do what I'd set out to do and then I'll leave him alone.We are partners after all and last night, we seemed civil enough to continue being that today. Taking a breath, I go on over to him, approaching him with caution. I hope he woke up on the right side of the bed today.Standing in front of him, I take another breath, saying a silent prayer before softly tapping his shoulder.He spins around to face me, making me to stagger back in surprise of his sudden movement.His brows shoot up in surprise.I'm pretty sure he wasn't expecting to find me standing in front of him."Hey, I was," I stop mid sentence when he takes out his earphones."Hey, you're back."

Chapter 25

For three days I've missed school. I couldn't really focus on anything and I was pretty much tired most of the time. Tomorrow though, I have every intention to go back to school, because I'd definetly lose my mind, if I stay any longer in bed.Sam had come to check on me earlier on, though he got a 10 minute permission to do so, with a female on standby, that female being Avery.I still wasn't sure about what was happening between them. I mean they gave no indication of things being more then what I witnessed, in all the times we've spent around each other.After that day, the two wouldn't be seen in the same room together, I'd say it's more on Sam, who did a repeat of what he normally does whenever Danny shows up. He leaves.I don't know what's going on with them, but I intend on finding out. But first, I need to check on what was going on with her and her ex Luke. The last time she mentioned him, she

Chapter 24

My head is pounding, that's the first thing I feel as I wake up to a brightly lit room, which I realize is the hospital.So I am in the hospital, just great. I do remember being at the club with Danny, but somehow, I cant recall why Roman was also there. The full step by step details are mashed up and thinking too hard, trying to remember makes my head hurt a bit.Though I can recall trying to stop a fight and then everything went black.Looking around the room, my brows shoot up high when I see both Danny and Roman, passed out on those small couches. I'm fairly surprised that the two haven't killed each other yet.Gosh, this is not the weekend I'd been looking forward to. This one surely turned out to be a disaster, lying in the hospital is proof of that.As I shift on the bed trying to get comfortable, I hear movement on the small couch, this surely earning my attention. The person wa
