Stay tuned...
Adam's POVIt's been two days since Autumn fell into a coma. Two days that I spent sitting in my father's office because I couldn't be in the same waiting room with Domenic. Richard allowed him to stay close, to even enter her room. After all, he is the father of the baby, and I'm just a friend. Summer came to be by his side, and take his side. Not that I can blame her, after all, Domenic is her brother and Autumn did say that she would tell him the truth once everything clears up. I know that. I was just so angry with him at that moment that I didn't think. Maybe Autumn's love for him was bigger than she made herself believe. I knew I shouldn't have left her alone, Alice was the one who pushed her but I was guilty for not being there to protect her. For some reason, the universe made sure none of us were able to help her when she needed us.As I stare at my watch I realize Autumn isn't the only one I let down. It is Alex's big night and I am missing it. I promised I would be there bu
"Adam, stay here. There are already enough people there, dont add to the commotion. I'll inform you after I see her." Dad says before he runs out. Thank God, Autumn woke up. And there is one person I'd like to share it with more than anyone else. Besides she told me to call her if something like this happens. "Hello, again," Alex says as I hear a loud crowd around her. "Alex, Autumn woke up," I say and I can hear her shushing people around her. "Sorry, things got a little bit out of hand. Can you repeat what you said?" I hear her say as the noise around her dies down, she probably stepped away. "I said Autumn woke up," I repeat and I can hear her excitement. "Oh my God Adam, that is amazing news. So she is ok now?" "Dad went to see her now. I will know more later but I wanted to share the news with you right away." As I say that I realize that there have been a lot of things happening in my life and she is always the first person I want to talk to. "This night just got a lot bet
After that little interesting conversation with Mom, I couldn't relax. I just kept thinking about everything and how crazy it sounds. Alex is Sasha's sister, my best friend's sister. She was my best friend. It would be crazy to think that there was more to it with so many years of friendship at stake. But then why do I keep thinking about it? Why do I keep thinking about Alex? Seeing how I can't find peace in my thoughts I decided to get dressed and head back to the hospital. Maybe shaking on Autumn distracts me from the mess inside my head.I thought no one would be there since Dad told me he sent everyone home but when I got there I saw Uncle Richard in the waiting room talking to the nurse. It's hard for me to stand in front of him but by the time he looks at me it's too late to hide so I master up the courage to walk up to him again. "Adam you dont need to hide from me. I may have been a bit harsh before but I want you to know I dont blame you. This got out of our hands, and even
Two weeks laterAutumn is doing a lot better, fiscally that is. As for her memory, it's still gone. I kept Richard company for most days and the moment Domenic and his family were with Autumn. The only downside of being here was that I couldn't get in touch with Alex. I tried calling her many times but she never answered me. I even told Sasha to gently remind her to check her phone but he says that even he doesn't get to see her much anymore because she spends all of her time with Enzo. It seems only now I understand why he bothers me so much. He was after something even I didn't understand I wanted. But I won't waste any more time.Autumn goes home tomorrow, Richard already set up the helicopter to pick them up. Even Domenic. He managed to wile his way into their house. In his defense it seems like Autumn wants him there, so they give him a chance.But that means I'm going back home today. And no matter what I will see Alex. My heart beats so fast in my chest that I feel like a teena
"I can't believe it's your prom night. You grow up so fast, my baby is 18." Mom said as she took pictures of me in my prom dress. "Mom enough with the pictures, please," I begged her. "Hey let me make some memories, I already feel bad enough that I have to go to work. I won't even get to see your date.” Mom said as she laid down the camera and came to hug me. “Even though I was so proud of you for achieving this scholarship I always worried about how they would treat you in that private school.” She said as she brushed my curls. "Well I didn't really care about fitting in, I was there to learn, to get opportunities for college. But I managed to make a friend or two."And that friend that's taking you to prom, is there any chance he will become a boyfriend in the future?" As close as I am with Mom I never really talked to her about Domenic. "Don't you need to go to work now Mom?" I try to turn the conversation. "Uhh the old change the topic scheme, fine fine I'm leaving but I will
All of a sudden I was woken up by the sound of my alarm clock. I can't believe that nightmare is back, I was doing so good. Why was it back now? I rushed to the bathroom and splashed some water on my face, it's been more than ten years since that night yet I still can't forget about it. The nightmare always seems to find me. I got dressed quickly and got ready for work. Luckily I don't live far away, living above where you work has some privileges. The first two floors are my library cafe, I have to say I'm proud of myself for what I created. It's a perfect place to enjoy a good book or work on paper while the aroma of freshly brewed coffee accompanies you while sharing a conversation with a friend.The third floor I made into my apartment, I still own my mother's house but since her passing, I just kind of stay here.I got downstairs just as Jess, the girl who works for me opened the cafe. "Morning boss." She said as she put her apron on."Morning Jess, can you please prepare the la
That voice, it cant be him. "What old lady?" Summer asked him. He opened a file he had in his hands. "Sarah James." My mother. "My brother, you are very misinformed. I know the owner of this place." Summer looked in my direction. "Autumn come to meet my brother, Domenic this is Autumn." When he turned around, I... I thought my world shattered all over again. At least he looked as shocked as me while Summer just stared at us. "Autumn, are you ok? You look like you've seen a ghost." Summer asked me. "Autumn." Domenic said my name. He looked older yes, but more handsome than ever. "As it turned out my brother is the shark that wants to buy this place." Summer smacked him on the shoulder. "Your brother? You are a Davis Jones?" I asked shocked, she said she was Summer Danes. "Yes, wait you two know each other?" Do we know each other? No, we don't. The man that I knew never existed. I'm going to be sick. "We went to the same high school." Domenic said. His voice made me more s
We said goodbye and I went the rest of my day feeling a lot better about the situation between me and Summer. Later she sent me a text about where we were gonna meet up, It's a good thing I looked at the restaurant before going otherwise I would have come in jeans. I put on my green dress that suited my eyes and looked lovely with my chocolate brown curly hair. I got there a bit early and while I waiting I scrolled on my phone until I sensed Summer sat down at the table. "Took you long enough." I said as I set my phone down, but when I looked up I saw Domenic sitting in front of me. "First of all Summer has nothing to do with this, she is coming I just told her driver to take a few wrong turns. She wouldn't corner you like this." Stay calm Autumn, you already gave him the satisfaction of seeing you affected by his presence. "She wouldn't, but obviously you would." I said as I took a sip of water, my throat suddenly felt as dry as a desert. He scratched his beard and tugged at his e
