Chapter: 39. Meghan Final chapter 😢I owed June an apology. Maybe she forced me to wear granny’s dress for her wedding but it was better than having to look like an over blossomed sunflower. We even had knee-highs on with some silly looking magicians’ hat. I seemed to be the only one who missed her bubbly pills coz my friends were rocking it with smiling faces.Personally, I think my sisters used their weddings as excuses to embarrass me. Maybe on my day I will make it up to myself by appearing in ripped jeans and Jordans.‘Will you stop frowning? You are making my booze lose its buzz’. Pokello said from beside me, downing her fourth or fifth glass of whatever it is Stuart’s mom had served. She had insisted on having the wedding reception at her house and Sue was more than happy to let her do all the screaming and organizing. She was currently destroying Ma

Chapter: 38. Zayn She still managed to look wild even when beaten down, shot and broken, the girl I love still didn’t back down, she fought to live and conquer and I couldn’t be more smitten.She stirred in her sleep and frowned deeply, she must have been having a bad dream, I knew I would have a ton of them if I had gone through what she had, not that I didn’t have my fair share of nightmares. I guess it’s something we will both have to live with. Things will get better, for her sake, I had to believe they would.Sue placed a hand on my shoulder, she had returned to the room with the doctor shortly after Meghan fell asleep. They said she was okay and that was all I needed to hear.‘Go home Zayn. You’ve been here for over 24hours, you need rest and you stink. It wouldn’t hurt to shave too’. She pulled on a serious tone that just made me laugh.‘What if she

Chapter: 37. MeghanI didn't know what was happening, I'm not sure anything was but I felt light and my head felt like a ball of candy floss. I felt calm, maybe I was going to heaven, it wasn't so bad but my eyes faltered open and when I saw those green orbs blocking my view of everything else I knew there could be heaven on earth and I smiled. He pushed the hair away from my forehead.'Go back to sleep captain, let the morphine work'. Then it was dark again, maybe I was dreaming.I woke up to the annoying sound of things being placed on metal. As my ears adjusted to the harsh light, I scanned the room. White walls, cheap TV, IV fluid, no undies; hospital.My mom stood to my left creating more of that annoying sound by placing more stuff on the small table there.'Mom'. She was a little startled as she turned to caste sunken eyes on me.'Baby. Are you okay?' she sat on the bed an

Chapter: 36. Zayn'Zayn, I did it. I killed Tyler Harden'. That was all it took to dampen my good mood. I had been avoiding it but I didn't expect Seth to give the job to someone else. I thought I could sort things out without anyone having to die but now I wasn't sure this death was going to be the last.One look at Meghan's face and I hated myself. I knew the connection she shared with the Hardens, she wouldn't take the news well.'Zayn? What's going on?' This was bad I took her hands in mine. 'Meghan...' I wanted to tell her I will fix things. I wanted her to know that I will protect her with everything I have, I wanted to tell her she'd consumed every part of me and I'd do right by her but I settled for an apology for screwing things up.'I'm so sorry'.I dashed off and placed a call to the first number on my call log. He picked on the first ring.'Steve'. I said as I

Chapter: 35. MeghanPokello was out of the car with lightning speed as soon as we got to her house. I locked the door and rushed in after her into the living room.The sight that greeted me was unusual; all the Harden brothers were gathered in the living room, including Trevor who was smoking joint. Travis sat on the sofa arm with a bottle of whiskey staring off. For the first time, the twins sat rubbing shoulders by the stairs, avoiding eye contact with everyone.It wasn’t until Pokello fell to her knees by the sofa where Tyler was laid that I looked at him. He was still, unnaturally so, like he was holding his breath. His black t-shirt was damp by the chest region and his eyes looked like they had been forced closed. Travis took a swig from the bottle and I followed the movement to his mouth, noticing the red stain on his palm.Pokello began sobbing or maybe she already had and they just got louder, I wasn’t sure. She gripped his torso and moaned i
