It was exactly two days to the wedding when aunt Lora (Honey's mother) told us we will be her bride's maid, all four of us. Came really late but we decided to accept since Jordan said it will make the plan work better.
Jordan and the boys as well had something on Samuel but they refused to tell us, they only said it was implicating.
So, Trish, Miley, Honey and I were walking out of school, we needed to get ready our outfit sine we had nothing planned yet.
"Is that not Jordan?" Honey said, I followed the direction she was looking and truly there he was.
"With that Tara bitch, I'm so killing them both" Miley said, heading towards them but I was quick to stop her.
"Calm down, let's try listen to what they are saying, I know Jordan despises Tara" I assured them, more like assure myself.
"Your boyfriend be two-timing, imma kill his ass" Trish said but still they

NovaMy heart skipped a beat as I felt my phone vibrate in my bag, I was quick to get it and there was a message from Jordan. I read it and was quite shocked at the content, he knew about this petty abduction? Was this probably the plan he was talking about?I snuck my phone back in my bag and gave my friends a look they understood "calm down" I mouthed receiving nods from them.In no time the car stopped right in front of an abandoned office, I shook my head but this will at least buy us time."Is this Tara's best? I was expecting a dungeon" Trish said making fun of Tara who had left even before we got to the car. Innocent daughter doesn't want to make her daddy worry."Just keep quiet" One of the guys who were now four said pushing Trish even harder than they had been pushing us.We finally got in and were made to sit on the floor, our hands were tied, mouths gagged and the only t

Nova"Mom?" I asked in disbelief as I saw what seemed to be her standing right in front of me, I've been staying with Honey under the pretence that I'm helping in the wedding preparations."Nova, my baby" she called out coming for a hug but I moved away, if you thought I did not like her before, it's worse now."Don't. You rarely went to see dad in the hospital and you could not even give him his last respect, I thought you'd be there, you chose the date yourself, what a pathetic wife and mother" I said in anger, I'm sure dad would have hated to know what she did but poor man is dead."I came" she defended"I saw you but you left immediately, you trashed the flowers you probably picked up on your way and left after receiving a call" I fired back, she was going to say something but I was uninterested, I took Jordan's hand and signalled my friends to come along, I had nothing to discus

A day to PromNovaJordan has been nowhere to be found, he was not beside me when I woke up this morning and now I'm having breakfast he still isn't here."Have you seen Jordan today?" I asked Rita but she shook her head no. Where then did he go?I was about going back upstairs to get dress, my friends and I had plans to visit the salon. The door opened and I was hoping it was Jordan but instead it was a pretty woman, she looked so familiar."Hi" I greeted."Oh, hello" she replied staring at me in a kind of way I did not understand."Are you here to see someone?" I asked, just then Rita walked into the living room. She stared at the woman in shock, what? They know her."Welcome ma'am, we didn't know you were coming" Rita told the woman who just smiled and dismissed her."S

JordanI can't believe Nova lived this long just waving at her neighbor and never even exchanged names."We inviting her for Thanksgiving and that is it" I told her firmly and watched her grumble.No she doesn't hate her neighbor but she thinks it is better the way they are. No unecesary drama but I think that excuse is lame.She sluggishly got up but eventually went to invite her neighbor whose name we don't know."The most shocking discovery ever, she is Karen Myers, legal wife of your brother Jayden" Nova said as she walked in, following behind is the said woman looking as innocent as ever.I have never been this surprised, Jayden never told a soul about getting married until his death."Jayden had a wife?" I said more of a question that a statement."Had?" The two women asked, I never thought it was important telling Nova but I guess his wife

NovaThere is a kind of unsaid happinesses that comes with being happily in love. Before you judge a situation, always listen to the other person's explanation.I haven't smiled this much on years and nothing can take that smile of my face."Nova" or maybe there is, that familiar voice, the very one I still haven't prepared a response for.Wait a minute, Nova?"Good morning sir" I turned around and greeted, he was smiling so hard, his face was nothing like how I last saw it. Whatever happened while I was away?"Oh please, you know I was just pissed, how was the trip?" He asked and for some reason I was really happy he is no longer pissed."Really great!" I replied him and turned to leave, only to bump into someone and my bag fell, every single thing inside of it scattered all over the reception."I'm sorry ma'am" the not so familiar worker told me and I just waved it, I have a bigger task of getting my things together, it was u

Jordan's POVCan you ever understand women? One moment they want this and the other moment they want something else.I felt like she was the girl Justin Bieber was referring to in "What do you mean". She's so indecisive!She's hurt, I know. It's because of me, fact established. I tried explaining, apologizing but she refused. What, am I supposed to keep doing that the rest of my life? Loving her doesn't make me brainless.Six good years of my life I spent trying to reach her and now it all feels wasted. I got dressed for today's work, thankfully, it's just tomorrow left to work, the rest was meant for relaxation.She was at my door about to knock when I opened, she quickly dropped her hand and swallowed hard."What?"

We had to meet also with the so-called company for business this morning and I just wish we had more than enough time.Making breakfast for her was first on my list, it's not something I am exactly uses to, but I need to win her favor back, then, maybe, I can think of making her understand things unclear to her.I did her wrong, it was my fault, but she is getting it all wrong, I don't understand women. She is the same person that insults ladies in the movies when they don't give their man a chance to explain.So, I made breakfast, the best I could make, toast.Don't judge me yet, I nev
