~SANDY~

I yanked my hand away from Alfred the moment we walked into the apartment.

“What is your problem, Alfred?! Why won't you just let me be?!” I yelled, feeling frustrated.

“Why are you working there?” He asked instead.

“That's none of your business!” I yelled and he ruffled his hair, exhaling deeply.

“Look, even if you wanted to work, why chose such a job that puts you in danger? If you needed help so badly, why not ask me?”

“That is the exact reason I'm working, Alfred! Why do I have to always rely on you for things I could actually do on my own?” I asked and he furrowed his brows.

“Why are you trying so hard to live a difficult life when you could simply just enjoy the luxury my family provides?” Alfred asked in a much more calm tone and I let out a scoff.

“Exactly, Alfred. Your family, not mine.”

“They are your family too, Sandy. Why can't you understand that?”

“Because no matter what you say, I know very well that I will never be part of the Grey family. If one day, I find my

    ~SANDY~I woke up to the smell of bacon and toast and my stomach grumbled almost immediately.I sat up on the bed and realized Alfred wasn't in his room, so I went back to mine and freshen up. I had to be at the clinic today and so I quickly put on a denim jean skirt and matching jacket, tied my hair up in a neat bun and strapped my bag on before heading downstairs.“Good morning.” I froze the moment I saw Alfred in the kitchen.“W-what are you doing?” I stuttered, trying to keep my eyes on his face but the dude was shirtless! And not to mention his wet hair which lapped on his forehead, making him look smoking hot.My goodness it was too early for my panties to get soaked!Get your head out of the gutter, Sandra. This isn't the first time you've seen him shirtless.I tried to stay focused but my damn eyes betrayed me as it immediately dropped down to Alfred's rock hard biceps and eight pack abs.Stop staring! Stop staring!I scolded myself and finally forced my gaze back up to his f

  • Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby   A DISASTER FROM THE START

    ~SANDY~ I let out a heavy sigh as I finally sat my ass down on the chair. I had been standing for hours, observing the nurses and surgeons in different operations that were carried out today. I wasn't complaining though, I couldn't wait to finally be the one holding the scalpel. “Hey girl, how did your observation class go?” I smiled the moment I saw Hailey walking up to me. “All surgeries performed today were successful with no complications.” I responded and she bobbed her head then sat next to me. “That's good to hear.” “What about you?” I asked and she sighed. “A two year old boy was rushed in today. Poor thing had a bacterial infection and vomited everything he ate.” She responded and I widened my eyes in shock. “Oh my goddess, is he okay?” I asked worriedly and she bobbed her head slightly. “He'll be fine. He was prescribed some antibiotics, and with proper care, he'll be fine. I just felt sad seeing him cry so much.” Hailey responded and I smiled softly. She has alway

    ~SANDY~ “My goddess! Sandy are you alright?!” I flinched a bit when I suddenly heard Mrs. Mirabella's voice and the look of horror on her face finally brought my back to my senses. “Oh no!” I gasped on seeing the shattered glasses and wine bottle on the floor. “I'm so sorry.” I quickly bent down to pick them up. “No, Sandy don't!” Mrs. Mirabella warned but it was already too late as the first glass I touched, made a big cut on my hand. I winced as I retracted my hand and Mrs. Mirabella raised me up immediately, staring at my bleeding hand. “What were you thinking, Sandy?!” She scolded as she dragged me away from the broken glass. She quickly removed the scarf she had used to tie her hair up, and wrapped it around my hand to stop the bleeding. “Go wait for me in your room, I'll clean this up first so no one else gets hurt, and then I'll dress your wound.” She instructed and the look on her face told me there was no room for argument, and so I bobbed my head and slowly went u

    ~ALFRED~ I was greeted by the unfamiliar face of a middle aged man and a blonde lady who I assumed to be his daughter. “Alfred, join us.” Dad said as he gestured for me to sit next to him. “I'd like you to meet Mr. Byron Flynn, and his daughter Natasha Flynn. Mr. Flynn is the President of The Drew Special Care center and also a very good friend of mine.” Dad explained and I walked up to Mr. Flynn and offered my hand to him. “It's nice to meet you, Mr. Flynn.” I said with a slight smile and he nodded as we shook hands. My gaze met with his daughter and I found her a bit familiar but quickly looked away and made my way to the chair next to dad. “We finally meet again, Alfred.” She said with a smile and I furrowed my brows a bit. I did find her familiar but I had no idea where I had met her before. “You two know each other?” Mr. Flynn asked and she bobbed her head. “Alfred and I met during the JFK business orientation.” She responded and it finally hit me. “Oh you both met on the

    ~SANDY~I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces as I watched Alfred leave my room. The look in his eyes told me he was hurt. I had hurt him, and in doing so I had hurt myself as well.I wiped off the tears that had blurred my vision as I made my way to the bed and tucked myself in. I just wanted to sleep and forget this dreadful feeling but the pain in my chest couldn't even let me close my eyes.I kept telling myself I had done the right thing, and he would eventually get over it but then the thought of him actually being with another lady made me feel sick to my stomach.“It was for the best. I'll feel better when I wake up.” I said to myself and forced my eyes shut, pushing all thoughts of Alfred at the back of my mind. By the time I opened my eyes again, it was already morning.I took a quick shower and changed into a baggy white pants, with a black long sleeve t-shirt to match. I tied my hair up into a high ponytail, then grabbed my bag and walked out of my room. I bumped

    ~SANDY~ “Sandy are you listening?” Hailey's voice snapped me out of my trance and I turned to her with an apologetic gaze. “Sorry, what did you say?” I asked and she rolled her eyes. “Come on, spill. What's wrong?” “Nothing's wrong. I shouldn't even care, I mean I'm the one who pushed him away so I should not care whether or not he hangs with his new girlfriend or fiance or whatever!” I blurted all at once, breathing heavily and Hailey stared at me in shock. “Okay, back up a little. What on earth or who on earth are you talking about?” She asked as she led me to the school's garden and we sat on the bench. I took in a deep breath before responding. “Alfred got engaged and —” “Wait what?!” Hailey exclaimed, cutting me off. “It's kind of a long story.” “That you need to tell me now! How did this happen?” She asked and I narrated everything to her. “That jerk! How could he get over you so fast after a love confession?!” Hailey snapped and I sighed. “I guess I should have just

    ~SANDY~It was barely up to five seconds after Gabriel kissed me when he got yanked away and Alfred threw a heavy punch at his face.“Alfred!” I gasped as I stared at Gabriel's bleeding nose.I had no idea he would react that way, and I never meant for Gabriel to get hurt.“What the fuck do you think you're doing?!” He thundered as Gabriel rose from the ground and wiped his bloody nose.“The real question is what are you doing? What did I do to deserve such a heavy punch?” Gabriel asked with a smirk and I could already image the smokes coming out of Alfred's ears as he shot Gabriel a death glare.“Baby, you didn't have to hit him. It's obvious him and Sandy has something going on.” Natasha said with a pitiful gaze and I glared at her.If eyes could shoot lasers, she'd be six feet under the ground by now.“Are you alright?” I asked Gabriel worriedly and he bobbed his head as he pulled me close and wrapped his hand around my waist.“What? Am I not allowed to kiss my girlfriend?” Gabriel

I could see the golden rays of the setting sun dancing across the surface of the lake. Alfred took my hand, leading me to a small picnic set that was nestled beside the water's edge.“Alfred,” I called out softly, lost for words.“I wanted to surprise you." He said, his smile warming my heart.I looked out over the picturesque landscape, admiring the serenity of the water, the beauty of the flowers, and the way the sun cast its golden light over everything.“But I thought this place was restricted since the accident two years ago?” I asked in a slightly worried tone.This lake was located behind the school and students often came here in the past to party or just

    ~SANDY~I felt my palms getting wet as I was called out onto the podium to give my speech.I had imagined this day since the first day I got into Ousen University, and now it was finally here but now, I felt really anxious. What if I said the wrong things, what if I slipped while climbing onto the podium and fell?Why were my thoughts suddenly so wicked?I should be confident in myself. I came this far, I survived all the hardship, all the challenges and the best part of it all, was that among the audience, my family and everyone I loved was present.Uncle Roman, my grandparents Lionel and Lucia, my granddaughter Martha, my adoptive parents Easton and Mirabella, my sister Kiara, my best friends Hailey and Gabriel, my new friends Natasha and Danzel, my Aunt Paulina and her children, and lastly, the love of my life, Alfred Grey.They were all present, and cheering me on.

    ~DANZEL~I groaned as I heard the loud banging on the door to my room. “Danzel, don't you have a morning shift or something today? Why are you still in bed?” I heard Jeffery's voice yapping nonstop and I finally pulled myself out of the bed.I just wanted to sleep in today. I didn't feel like going anywhere but the problem is I haven't felt like going out ever since Hailey left here that night.I felt so stupid for hurting her. She didn't deserve it. She didn't deserve someone like me, she deserved better.She had genuinely made herself vulnerable by telling me how she felt and I coldly shattered her heart. I let her down real hard and it has haunted me every night and day.“Dude what the hell? Are you sick or something? You haven't left the house for a week now.” Jeffery asked worriedly as I finally let him into my room.“I'm fine, I just need a little rest.” I responded but he didn't seem convinced.“You said that yesterday and every other day before. What's going on with you?”I s

    ~HAILEY~“You got everything?” Mom asked as I zipped up my box, ready to leave.“Yes, I think.” I responded, my gaze scrutinizing the room to be certain I wasn't forgetting anything.When I was certain I had it all, I pulled my luggage downstairs. Sandy and Kiara were both waiting for me.Kiara was celebrating her nineteenth birthday this weekend and I decided to spend the week with them since we were on a school break as well.“Don't worry, Mrs. Jordan, we will take good care of her.” Sandy reassured my mom and I chuckled softly.“I trust you will. Have fun sweetheart.” Mom said as I hugged her goodbye.“I'll call you the moment we arrive.” I said and she nodded in response, giving us the green light to leave.The ride back to New York was a rather quiet one, until Kiara broke the silence.“So no one is going to say anything? Come on, tell me how it went!” Kiara beamed and I pressed my lips into a thin line.I wish I had never confessed to Danzel but at the same time, I had no regret

  • Dear Ex, Come Back With My Baby   BONUS CHAPTER: HAILEY 11: UNPREDICTABLE

    ~HAILEY~ I opened the door, letting Sandy and Kiara in. They wanted to meet my mom before they headed back. Funny how five minutes after refusing to come with them, I had changed my mind and agreed to it.I wanted to spend more time with Sandy and school break was around the corner, so maybe I could leave then, and come back on resumption.“This is my first time being in your house in Pennsylvania. We mostly met up at your apartment next to school or you would come see me.” Sandy pointed out and I slowly bobbed my head.She's been talking nonstop about things we used to do and things we never did. I could see that she was making a lot of efforts to get me to remember, but even my mom couldn't make that happen.I guess I was the one slowly blocking my memories or something. I thought I would miraculously remember once I met Sandy, but even Sandy seemed strange to me at some point, while another, she was familiar.“My mom should be home shortly. Do you need anything while you wait?” I

    ~HAILEY~ Sandy's eyes teared up the moment I called out her name and she immediately rushed towards me, engulfing me in a tight hug. “Hailey! My God it's you!” She cried out and I found myself crying as well. I could feel her love for me radiating through her every being. Just like my mom, I didn't have to remember her to know that she was truly an important part of my life. She was my best friend, and I'm certain she was also like a sister to me. “I have missed you so much!” She pulled out of the hug, her gaze scrutinizing me from top to bottom. I suddenly felt a light smack on my shoulder and turned to the side to see the blue eyed lady glaring daggers at me. “How could you?! How could you ghost us like that?! How could you abandon Sandy like that?! Did your friendship mean so little to you?! Did we mean so little to you?!” She kept on ranting and I felt a bit overwhelmed with confusion. “You vanished without a warning. Did you know how worried we all were?” She asked but I

    ~HAILEY~ What the hell was I thinking?! What in the world made me think I could juggle working and studying at the same time?! I swear I would faint if I got there one more time. I barely had time to do anything, and to think I've only been there for a week! “Hailey, come help me off load the new stocks.” Charity, my work colleague called out and I let out a heavy sigh. I couldn't remember the last time I had a goodnight's rest. My weekdays were taken by school and my weekends were taken by work! Even Sundays weren't any exception. “You can quit now before it's too late.” Danzel's words to me on my second day echoed in my mind. I hated that he was so certain I couldn't handle the work. I wanted to prove him wrong, but at this moment, I think I wouldn't mind raising my white flag. “Have you been sleeping well? You have visible eyebags.” Charity pointed out and I let out a frustrated groan as we restocked the shelves with the new products. Today was Saturday, and since I didn't

    ~HAILEY~ The moment my name left his lips, I felt my pent up anger melting away instantly. I mean who cares if he ghosted me, that smile was more than enough to make me forget it all. “Danny!” My happiness was short lived the moment a blonde haired lady ran up to him and engulfed him in a tight hug. “We missed you at the party. I'm hosting another this weekend though. Do you think you can make it?” She asked but all the while, Danzel's gaze was fixated on me, and I found myself not being able to look away. At first I wanted to murder the blondy with my gaze but seeing how Danzel didn't even reciprocate her hug, it reassured me that she wasn't his girlfriend. “I didn't know you attended Bucknell. What a coincidence.” Danzel said to me, his expression blank but his gaze still held mine. I eventually gave up and looked away. Something about the way he stared at me always made me feel weak in the knees. “I didn't know you were an engineering student as well. I guess you're multi ta

    ~HAILEY~ “There you go. All done.” The nurse at the clinic said as she finished wrapping the bandage under my feet. “How long will I stay like this?” I frowned as I stared at my legs. Just when I was finally getting back on my feet, now I will be forced to go back to wheelchair until it's all healed up. “I would say about two weeks. Thankfully the cut wasn't so deep so it shouldn't take too long to heal up.” The nurse responded with a smile and I let out a sigh. “What were you thinking, Hailey? Why would you step on broken glass pieces like that?” Mom scolded. I lowered my gaze. I had no idea what happened. The only thing on my mind was the memory flash I had. Why was I on that bus? Why did only I survive out of everyone on that bus? While I was being wheeled to the clinic, I had done a little digging from the phone on the accident. That's how I found out about everything. Everyone else in that bus had died. “Hailey, are you listening?” Mom's voice pulled me out of my though
