DamienI stare at the caravan of white buses lined on the road in a perfect row, waiting to take us to our destination. Families gather around to say their goodbyes to loved ones. I look over and see my best friend Dan hugging his mother, then his sister, who also happens to be my ex. She says something to him which makes

EmilyAs soon as everyone left, I dropped to my knees and sobbed. I can't explain this fear I have, deep inside I know one of the two men I love will not be coming back alive. Dan my brother and best friend, Damien the man I have loved since I was six years old. I remember that day, the first time we set eyes upon each other.Twelve Years Ago

DamienTWO MONTHS LATERMy Dearest Damien,I have put off writing this letter for a while now, but I can't do it anymore. Oh, I 'm mad at myself for not fighting harder for you and I hate myself for hurting you. First, I know you hate me for everything I've

EmilyThree Months Later-Emily's leaving for College."Emily, you need to let me go." I read those seven words as tears rain down my face, reading those words tear at me, they might as well dig claws in my chest and rip my heart out. I can't breathe, my world is crumbling around me, D

DANSitting at the table watching the blue screen dial-up my family, I can't help the nagging feeling that something is going to happen. I've been feeling it for about a week now and I'm hoping my family and Dani are okay. Today is my scheduled call home, and I missed them something awful. As usual, though I had no idea what to tell them, they always want to know how Damien and I are doing.Damien has ma

DamienDan doesn't invite me to join him when he visits with his family anymore, he knows I would refuse. I feel like an asshole for not talking to them since the Woods have always been my family. They know about what my dad would do to me and my mom, so they always opened their home to me and treated me like one of their sons. Mrs. Woods would tell people I was Dan's twin, since we were similar in looks, build and inseparable. They also figured Emily and I would get married at some point. Of course, I'm a dick for ignoring them when I know everyone worries about me, the thing is I'm not worthy of thei

EmilyAs far as I can see, a burst of lavender and baby blue radiate my surroundings. I used to love the colors but now all I can think of is the mistake I'm about to make. I reach up and remove the veil from my head; it's heavy and too confining. I hate it as well as this dress, but who am I to go against Zeek and his wishes? I look down at my baby belly and feel like the biggest cow in the world, I'm also the world's worst daughter and sister since I let down my family; I've let Damien down more than anyone though.

DamienI'm startled awake when I hear what sounds like glass shattering and my mommy screaming. He's home and I just want to hide under my bed so he can't find me but mommy needs me. I hate it when daddy hurts her, it makes me sad. I slowly get out of bed and creep down the stairs; I'm on the last step when I hear him shouting,"You are nothing but a worthless whore. I work hard all day to k

Emily"Come on Emily, you got this." My mom encourages me as I push and hope this time he comes out. I've been pushing for over twenty minutes and he hasn't budged. Mom pushes my damp hair off my face and presses the wet and cold washcloth on my forehead. "You're doing great Sweetheart; just give
