Failure, that was the perfect word for how Damien felt. He pushed the flower vase that was on the counter on the floor and broke everything that he could lay his hands on. His silverware was the next, why couldn’t he just get anything right!

He slid to the floor, his hands digging into the broken glass, but the pain was exactly what he wanted, craved, and welcomed.

He ignored the blood that was running down the side of his hands. he picked up his phone that laid a few feet away from him. he put a call through his parents, he needed them to calm him down and help him think properly and he was yet to inform them what had happened to Lauren. Was Nathan even searching for her?

His mother picked up on the second ring but he wasn’t able to talk. He put the phone on the loudspeaker, just staring at it.

“Damme?” His phone called, using the name she used to call when he was little. He missed it, missed how he didn’t have anything to worry about as a kid.

    It was beginning to be a normal thing for Lauren to wake up in the morning, disoriented and with a headache. She fumbled around in the bed, patting the other side of the bed but it was empty. That only meant that Nathan was already out for work. She stood up and took the aspirin that he always left for her beside the bed. She still felt foggy afterward, feeling like she was supposed to remember something but her memory came up blank. She hit the side of her head lightly like it would help her recall “Why am I forgetting so much lately” She whined as she got out of the bed. She went straight into the bathroom and showered. When she was done, she got dressed and went into the kitchen where she saw that breakfast was already spread out and covered. She opened the lid to reveal freshly made omelets, pancakes, and another meal that couldn’t remember the name, laced with lots of syrup. That was very thoughtful of Nathan, she thought. She couldn’t understand exactly why h

    The days would be bleak. Dark, just a space for Lauren. She would have no one to hold and call her own. She turned to where Nathan stood by the window seeming to enjoy her pain than he was letting on. “Why do you torture me like this?” She asked him when she got no answer. She bit down on her lip to prevent her from screaming her lungs out. He finally turned to her “I don’t know” he answered, his answer simple and short and also confusing. “I don’t understand” she stuttered. There had to be a reason for all his madness, breaking her and Damien up, killing Harry, Killing Damien. There had to be a reason, she needed something to work with. “You killed innocent people and you tell me you don’t know why! She yelled. She stood up with force, knocking down the chair that she had previously been sitting on. “There has to be something! Not wanting us to be together? Wanting me for yourself? There has…” “Wanting you for myself?” he asked, cutting her off as he

    They coughed as black smoke engulfed them both, the heat from the explosion piercing their already tender skin. Damien stood up with great difficulty as the smoke began to clear, letting him see the damage that was done to his home. He stood up with great difficulty as he bled from his leg, holding his now blackened wall to support himself. He was leaving when he saw his attacker laying on the floor, with a huge piece of the table lodged in his leg. Damien was about to leave him there when he called out to him. “Please…” he said, holding his hand out to him. Damien wasn’t sure if he wanted to help someone whose mission had been to kill him. he was about to leave him there when he suddenly changed his mind. It was clear the attacker had been following someone’s orders. Grabbing what was left of the table, he pulled it up having to put all his strength into it because of how heavy it was. He succeeded in finally lifting it before he pushed it to the side and

    The trio just stared at each other, unbelieving of the situation they just put themselves in. Nathan looked away feeling responsible for everything that happened and putting them in this situation. “Don’t apologize” Damien said suddenly “I can see it in your eyes Nathan but don’t apologize, it wasn’t your fault he turned out psycho” “If I didn’t mess around with the experiment then we wouldn't all be here” “It doesn’t matter, you’ve had your fair share of suffering. I can’t begin to imagine how long you’ve been here. You don’t need to add guilt to the list of things you have to endure” Damien told him and sighed. He didn’t know why Nathan had been messing around with clones but it had cost him so much. Hopefully, if they all survived after this, they would have a proper conversation. Lauren suddenly laughed, causing the two men to look at her with worry, “I married him you know” she said to no one in particular. Nathan glanced at Damien with worr

    The next days were hard for everyone. After a couple of months, Damien and Lauren had slipped into a coma and the police were still conducting their investigation so Jane and Nathan were stuck with Paula and Gab. It was more of a routine. Jane would wake up with Harry as they now slept together. She would bathe then feed him then they would play all day at the gazebo as Jane read his children's book and stories. It was almost perfect, the connection that had blossomed between them and she wasn’t complaining. Meanwhile, Nathan had to give reports on the research he had been researching and handed it over to top government officials before they would get into any trouble. So on days like this, Nathan would have breakfast with Gab in the dining before coming out to the gazebo to greet Harry. On this particular day, Nathan came out without a shirt on and as Jane looked up, the sun shone directly on the biceps he had grown back at the little gym at the back of the hous

    It was a dream all over again. The hospital lights blinding her eyes and the smell of disinfectant defiling her nose. She twitched, noticing that it was somewhere warm this time and not cold and alone like the other time she had woken up in the hospital. She willed her eyes to open but they were so heavy and her voice so dry. She counted stars, wishing someone would hear her thoughts and know that she was here and alive. She twitched her fingers and the warmth around them increased, she smiled. This meant that whoever it was had been there for her, not letting her be alone. After what seemed like an eternity she finally opened her eyes, blinking severally when the hospital lights burned them. Suddenly someone was in her view, Damien. His head was wrapped with a bandage but he was alive and that was all that mattered to her. she smiled or at least she tried to. He engulfed her in a hug careful not to hurt her. “I was going to lose my mind if you didn’t wake up

    It had been a simple plan. Go back to the room with Lisa and have fun, or at the very least forget a certain someone.That plan was one Nathan hadn’t thought about properly. Even as they two wandered in the dark as he tried the light switch he knew he was making a mistake.When he finally found it at the far end of the wall he was ready to get rid of Lisa. But the alcohol had a strong hold on him that he wasn’t strong enough to escape.“Nice room you have here,” Lisa said, making her way to the window and sighing when she saw it had the perfect view to the ocean. “It’s definitely bigger than mine by a double.”Nathan nodded absentmindedly as he stared at her, wishing it was Jane standing there instead. He didn’t understand exactly what it was about her that drew him in.The image of Jane holding onto those strong male hands flew back into his head and he cussed out not even realizing he had said it out loud. Heck if Jane was going to have company this night then he had every right to.

    It takes a while for me to process what Damien said. My head starts to throb and I feel dizzy, needing to rest on the table to keep my weight up.I feel Lisa come up beside me, her stance worried as she watched me listen to Damien over the phone.“Jonas said they got in late but she insisted on going out to get some fresh air, she hasn’t been back since then,” Damien continued.Nathan saw sparks. “Who the hell is Jonas and why are they together?” he barked, his hand tightening around the phone. Lisa reached over and loosening his grip on it with a soothing smile.“The guy from earlier, the one she came to the resort with,” Damien answered, paused, then continued. “She was going to introduce you too but you left before she could come over and say hi.”Jonas or whatever his name was called, Nathan decided he despised the guy and was going to snap him into two whenever he was within reach.“Have you notified the management so they can call a search party or something,” Nathan said, alre

    Jenny is still in bed sleeping when I finally get up. Drew left a few minutes ago with the drive, he’s going to turn Father in. He had insisted I remain at home with Jenny while he handles it.While I trust Drew fully, I can’t help the feeling of unease that has taken root in my stomach. The door bell rings on my way downstairs to figure out what Jenny will eat when she wakes up.I open the door. “Did you forget something?”When there’s no answer from Drew I look up and realize he’s not the one at the door. It’s Daisy.“Hey, come in,” I tell her, moving to the kitchen. Does she have the mother thing that alerted her that I’m taking her child away? I pull out a bottle of liquor from stash, carrying a glass with it. If I can get her tipsy enough she wouldn’t even worry about Jenny, and we can all be on our way.Besides it’s not like she cared enough for Jenny, I don’t even want to imagine where she’s going to leave her once I’m up and gone.That seals my decision to have Jenny come with

    My face is pressed to the window the entire home. I realize how much I’ve missed home when we pull into the driveway.It has become some sort of sanctuary for me, a place where I can have peace and love. Drew helps me out of the car, holding my hand as he leads me to the door.The minute he opens the door Jenny comes running towards me, like she has been waiting the entire time. She hugs my waist like her life depends on it. I put my hand around her shoulders and keep her close to me.“Are you alright mummy?” she asks softly, gazing at me with her round cute eyes.I push her hair away from her face. “I’m alright princess, did you miss me?”It was a silly question to ask because her answer could be seen from miles away.“Of course I did,” she says with a pout. “I missed Jakey too, how is he?”I rub the little one so he does not feel excluded from our conversation. “He’s alright, he misses you too,” I tell her. That sits good with her because she beams up at me and then looks at my stom

    My breath slows down as I watch him fall to the floor with a thud. In a minute I’m sprinting to his side and shaking him to wake up.I look around but there’s no one to help me. Taking his face in my hands I shake him again. “Drew! Wake up! Have you had so much to drink?” I ask him despite knowing he can’t hear him.Bending towards him I smell his breath, it was clear. Then why would- The wine, that was the last thing I saw him take, and he was being weird about it.Could the wine have been- I’m too afraid to admit what my brain already knew. He must’ve know too that the wine was poisoned and he readily took it from me and drank. That was why father looked furious.Uh Oh, Father knows.I look back to the door, half expecting Father to walk through it. I look back to Drew he was already turning a little too pale.“Why did you have to drink it?” I ask him, exasperated. “You should have thrown it away,” I cry.I don’t think I’ve ever felt this helpless before. My purse is in there with J

    There’s no a single explanation my mind can conjure for what happened. Every time I think I have it all figured out, another wall comes crashing into me.Does he not want to return because of me? Then what of Jenny? She misses him and he clearly misses her too, seeing how he risked coming to the park just to get a glimpse of her.My head is beginning to ache and the doubt that it was actually him begin to slip into the cracks of my mind.Drew could be right and I was just imagining him. If that was the case then my mind is daring very vivid, because the longing and worry I saw in his eyes couldn’t have been easily conjured with so much emotion attached to them.My entire body trembles as I exhale. In all of this I’m glad I reacted on time to my fall, otherwise Jakey could’ve been hurt and all for nothing at that. Keeping him means so much to me than going after what could possibly be Don’s look alike.I massage my forehead, the discomfort in there bordering on being unbearable. The As

    I don’t come downstairs until the doorbell rings. I’ve done a pretty good job of avoiding Jenny and now I was going to risk running into her.The entire house is quiet when I come down, she must be taking a nap. For some reason I tiptoe to the door and stifle a startle when I open the door to a rather grumpy looking Dr. Shelby.All since I’ve know him, he’s always smiling, patient. There was this airiness that surrounded him, it always made you feel at ease with him. But all that is left now are deep frown lines of his face and I hate to be the reason for it.“How did you think drinking while being pregnant was a good idea?” he asks the moment he steps past the threshold. “Why keep a child you’re not going to take proper care of?”My breath seizes in my lung. With a slight tilt to my head I study his expression. His eyes are accusing as the glares at me. This right here is not Dr. Shelby. Someone has taken him and put in place this angry version that I’m not used to.If anything I fee

    It’s my first day as Cassie. Like I think she does every morning, I’m sitting in front of the dresser and struggling to put on makeup.I don’t know how Cassie used to do it, the perfect flawless look she always had whenever I saw her.I can’t even tell which comes first, I’m holding a small bottle that has foundation written on it but I have no idea how to get it on my face.How they hell was she able to use all this stuff? I throw the brush in front of me on the floor. At this rate I’m never going to leave the house.I hear Drew as he comes into the room. “What’s the matter?” he asks.I frown when I turn and see him with only a towel wrapped around his waist.“Carrie?”That brings my attention back to him. I force my gaze back up and glare at him. “I told you to call me Cassie, we can’t have you slipping up like this when we leave the house.”He scratches his chin lightly. “How about I give you a pet name, it’s only natural since we’re supposed to be married. It feels awkward calling

    Everyday that I see the sun rise is torture to my soul. Every morning that I wake up without Don by my side tears my heart into a million pieces.I don’t know where life ends and where death starts. They’ve both become the same to me. It has made me prisoner in this dark perilous place called my mind. I sit by the window every night and wait for the morning never breaks, but that even is too much to ask.This is my own hell. This is my own home.There’s nothing on the news about the explosion. If I hadn’t been there myself I wouldn’t even believe that it happened.No bodies have been found. That is both my hope and my nightmare. Two long months of emptiness and guilt, that is my punishment.What if he’s really gone? What if he didn’t survive? No one would be alive and stay hidden for that long. What if he’s out there looking for me?I deflate at that. The chances are unlikely, especially after the way we parted. I should have held onto him a little longer, laced his fingers with mine

    I light a cigar immediately as I enter the elevator and puff with a sigh. Home is a place where everyone longs to be. A sanctuary, some would say but it isn’t the same for me. It’s the last place I want to be.I loosen my tie as I get into the car. “Take the longer route,” I tell my driver when he gets in. There’s a hum and I know he heard me. Like every other employee he knows not to speak to me because there was no telling what my reaction would be. To them, I'm the hot-headed son with a short temper. It looks like only Karl didn’t get the memo after he was hired.Now that my mind has wandered back to him, I pull out my phone and put a call through to HR. When Thelma connects the call, I ask her to send me all the files on Karl and everything he submitted during his employment process. It would be on my desk first thing in the morning.I take another puff as the car rolls down the road. It’s going at a perfect pace for me. Not slow but also not fast enough to get me home earlier tha

    It’s been five minutes since I broke into my house and another two since I made it up the stairs to my bedroom.The only sound I hear as I move through the house is my heavy breathing. I half expect someone to jump out of the shadows but there’s no one.I stand still in front of my door, my hand in the air, mid-way to the knob. I’m not sure what to expect after ten years. Did they move my things out or did they simply ignore the room like they always ignored me?The silence drowns out my thoughts as I recall what I’m here for. Get the drive and be gone before anyone comes back.With a gulp, I push the door open and switch on the lights. When my eyes adjust to the room I see that everything is exactly where it used to be. My favorite teddy bear that Thomas bought me when I was five is still lying against the side of my bed. Even my books are still all over the floor from when Cassie barged into my room the day before our last birthday together and demanded that I give her my toys to pl
