Chapter: Author's NoteStories don't always end happily ever after. Sad endings could happen, too, but people don't accept them.In life, destinies should be accepted, even if it is a loss or a win; a failure or a success; a good or a bad. We all strive to be happy, and happy endings are not always what they look like. Life is continuous, and so the story. Sad endings are underrated, but realistic. If it is sad to other people who are seeing it, it could be the happiest ending for the main characters. It may be a hard-to-swallow pill, but anything and everything could happen.As a writer, I hope my readers would understand if my works could be seen as dark, sad, and lonely. I will do my best to give you the most bizarre ending you could think of. (It doesn't mean I won't give you happy endings, though. I am open to any kind of endings, and I hope you are, too.)I hope to see you support my next mini-novels, and stories.Thank you!Yours Truly,SUMMERBLAIRZZZ

Chapter: Chapter TenOn that year, it ended...I just got into the hospital with my secretary from our meeting. I saw nurses rushing into Austin's room.I looked at my secretary.She asked a nurse who was just about to come in.“Mr. Biermann's vitals are suddenly unstable.”I felt weaker when I heard the news. The doctors asked us to wait outside. My secretary kept on cheering me up… That everything was going to be alright.Then, doctors went out of the room. My secretary went for them to ask. But, I didn't hear them talk. I steered my wheelchair nearer, but I still couldn't hear them.“What happened?” I called their attention.My secretary turned her gaze at me. Her expression was telling me something. The doctors walked away from us.“What's happening?” I asked again.My secretary didn't answer me, but I heard her sigh.I decided to just come into his room...And there I saw... Lira in the corner of his brother's room, crying. I went near Austin and held his hand. It was cold. I realized everything. Thi

Chapter: Chapter NineIt had been weeks, but Austin hadn't woken up yet.The doctors said there was nothing to worry because it was normal. We were asked to wait for a few more days.I was checked in to the hospital because no one could take care of me at home. Also, I didn't want to hire another private nurse.There was a knock at my door, Lira entered with a notebook in her hand.“How are you feeling?” She asked.“Just okay.” I tried to smile, but it turned into a crooked one.She pat my shoulder. “Everything's gonna be fine, Blair.”I nodded at her.“Here.” She handed me the notebook she was holding. “Take this.”I held it, confused. “What's this?” I asked.She just smiled. “You'll know. I'll go now.”I left alone, intrigued. I opened the notebook. I was shocked when I read the first date.Jan 20, 2012I was so wrong when I let Dad drive the trailer truck. It lost control and killed him. It was like I killed him.Jan 21, 2012I was so down. But I learned that another family had destroyed because of the

Chapter: Chapter EightI opened my eyes as I felt sunlight coming through my window.“Good morning, sleepy head.”I smiled as soon as I heard his voice.He came near me then helped me to get up.When I sat in my wheelchair, he suddenly stooped his head down, then gave me a light kiss on my lips.We both blushed. And there he was again, ears turning red.We ate together for breakfast and talked about things. When we were finished, he suddenly got a call. It looked urgent, but I heard him say, “But I'll come later after lunch.”I tried to ask what it was.“Who was that?”He just shrugged then answered, “Just business.”“Your beer factory?”He didn't respond anymore when I mentioned their factory. But, I didn't ask follow-up questions. I was afraid he would get mad again.Before lunch, he cooked my favorite dish.“Let's eat together?”He shook his head. “I'm sorry. That call was actually urgent but I chose to stay for more hours with you.”I smiled coyly. I felt guilty. He noticed the change in my expression.

Chapter: Chapter SevenYou must be curious about what happened after our fight that night.Here it is...--It was in the morning. I woke up a little late because I had a hard time taking a good sleep last night. I heard him went out last night, but I didn't want to follow him. I could have bothered him if I did so.I got off my bed by myself and went out to see what I could have for breakfast. As I got in, I smelled the aroma of coffee I always drank every morning.“You woke up late.”I held my breath as I saw him at the counter making coffee.“I thought you wouldn't come back.” I said sheepishly.“I'm just a nurse. And I'm professional. This is my job.” He didn't even look at me.He was cold, but I was happy to see him stayed. There was a part of me that was so relieved to know he didn't leave me.As I watched him prepared my breakfast, I remembered what he told me last night.“Can't I be someone special?”He surely had something to keeping from me, but aside from that, he had always cared for me.“Do you

Chapter: Chapter SixAs you can see, my first year of being paralyzed had been awful. I was scared that it would continue for years. But, I was thankful enough to have someone like Austin to look after me.After the incident with Rex, nothing bad happened to me anymore. I had lived peacefully with Austin and sometimes with my secretary.Let's skip to the part just a year ago. Last year, on my twenty-eighth birthday.--“Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday...”I giggled as I saw Austin in a dinosaur mascot and my secretary in a giraffe one.“Happy Birthday to you!”I blew the cake they were holding.“Did you wish?” My secretary asked.“No. I'm contented.” I answered blissfully.It had been seven years since the last time I felt unpleasant. For the past years, these two took good care of me. They never left me, so I didn't have anything to wish for.I was aware that Austin gave up his residency in the hospital to be my full-time private nurse. So, he has to go back t

Chapter: 7Eve ran through the forest, laboring to catch her breath as the wind blew the trees in front of her, and stumbling here and there due to the uneven terrain. The howls of the patrol wolves could be heard from behind her, and they were getting louder and louder as time went on. It was imperative that she increased her rate of movement, or else she would be discovered and severely punished. Imprisoned. Whipped. Starved. And who was to say what else lay in store for her if she was caught by the wolves that were giving chases at that very moment? Eve was adamant that she would not allow that to take place, so she pushed herself harder and harder to go faster and get closer to the border between their pack and the human town. It appeared as though she was unable to take in sufficient air because her legs were on fire and her chest was heaving. In spite of the fact that she was moving faster, she was still being pursued by something that made a sound like paws hitting the ground. Louder and

Chapter: 6The three women spent the next few days gathering the essential supplies that Eve might require in the coming days. They came to the conclusion that the best course of action would be for Eve to visit the Three Mountain pack and have a conversation with Alpha Ian, who was a distant cousin. They had high hopes that he would be able to take Eve in, but they were unable to ask him in advance for fear that word would get back to their own Alpha before Eve had the chance to leave. Instead, Marie and Joanne had written a letter of introduction to Alpha Ian, asking him to give Eve a place to stay and support her while she dealt with the rejection.During this time, Eve started to say her farewells, despite the fact that she wished she could do it in an appropriate manner. Instead, she made a stealthy visit to the childcare center for the very last time, this time bringing a bag stuffed with candies with her. As she left the building for the final time, she had to carefully wipe her eyes in o

Chapter: 5Eve groaned and rolled over to snuggle down under her blanket. After what seemed like an eternity, she finally brought up the painful memory of being turned down. As she reflected on what had transpired the day before, she was overcome with excruciating pain.It is not possible for our souls to ever become one.“Please no! Aaaaaaah!” She let out a scream just as a searing and piercing pain began to radiate from her chest and spread throughout her body. As soon as the door flew open, her mother and Joanne rushed into the room to keep Eve close while they waited for the intensity of the pain to lessen.Eve was finally able to take a few deep breaths and turn around to face her mother after an hour had passed. They were both in tears and their eyes were filled with hurt as they simply stared at each other without speaking. Joanne finally opened her mouth a few moments later.“Eve, please come with us so that we can get you something to eat and drink.” You have to keep your strength up an

Chapter: 4Eve was not able to lift herself up on her shaky arms and get to her feet until several hours later, when the moon was hanging high in the sky beside the sparkling stars. Only then was she able to pull herself to a standing position. She struggled to find her footing in the dark and hoped without hope that she was moving in the right direction to get back home. Her brain was in such a state of disarray that she was unable to truly absorb and understand where she was or where she needed to be. Her eyes were blurred from the tears, which caused her to trip over a tree branch and fall to the ground after taking only a dozen steps further in the direction she was going. She wailed even louder as the force that had broken her fall caused her hands and knees to be in excruciating pain.She has begun to pull herself forward along the uneven ground, unable to stand up again. It was a pathetic attempt at an army crawl, though. After only travelling, she stopped and rolled over to stare up at t

Chapter: 3Eve slowly rocked back onto her heels as she wiped the sweat off her forehead before turning her attention to the orderly row of tomato plants that she had just planted in her thriving garden. Considering that she had only started gardening a little more than a year ago, she was extremely pleased with how well it was coming along. Over the course of that period of time, it had developed into a reliable source of fresh produce, as well as a safe haven for her to retreat to when she needed to get away from the rest of the world.She enjoyed nothing more than sneaking away to her own private paradise at the end of a long day. In addition, today was a particularly exhausting and hectic day. Because one of the kitchen assistants had called in sick the night before, she had gotten up early to assist Joanne in preparing breakfast on the day after she had gone to bed. After that, she made a detour to the day care center to hand off some cookies that she had hidden in order to avoid Joanne's d

Chapter: 2Eve and her mother sneaked into the dining hall through a side entrance just a few minutes before six o'clock, being very wary of the Alpha's stringent timeline. After finishing up in the kitchen and ensuring that all of Joanne's tasks from them had been completed, Eve and her mother entered the dining hall. They moved quickly to locate the seats that had been allotted to them at the far-left end of the room, at the end of one of the four long tables that extended the length of the structure.Warrior pack members and essential pack members sat closer to the front of the room, while lesser-ranked pack members such as Eve and her mother sat at the rear of the room. The further one sat in the room, the lower one's rank. It was considered a privilege to be seated in close proximity to the pack leaders and their families. For this reason, the most powerful members of the pack were assigned seats at the head of the long tables. There, they would occasionally engage in conversation with the
