My fear is that at the end of this, all these little hearts are going to have been broken. – Rye
They extended spring break by a week. Which was fine, Rye enjoyed having another week with her boys. Michael was just over two years old, and you could not tell that he was born early addicted to heroin.Little Alan was just a few weeks shy of a year. He was due the first week of summer break. Rye started having contractions during kindergarten graduation. She powered through the ceremony and part of the reception.But of course, her ever observant husband knew something was wrong. Priscilla took Michael and was the first Lowery allowed in her recovery room. After cooing over the newborn and handing Michael to his father, she went out and saw Celt.“I guess you heard that Chance didn’t pass out or puke?”As the door closed, the parents could hear the Saints in the hall laughing. Celt half-heartedly told the teen to shut up.Now with all classes having moved viI'm pretty sure with all these people in my head, I now know why I lose arguments with myself. - MeThe club was founded by two army buddies, Pops and Killer. Killer had two sons – Sinner and Brute. Sinner had a daughter and two sons with his wife, Lilly.

Really? A bunch of bikers putting on a car show? – Repo The idea for a car show came about when Bearcat and his crew started making custom cars. They even did several custom bikes. Plus, the Lowery family had a whole car show in and of themselves. Ink and Tank, along with some others, all had Roscoe Reagan Originals. And in the custom bike world, those were highly sought after. After pitching it a few times, and it failed every time, they were about to give up. But then Nessie had told Bearcat he was going about it all wrong. “Yer wanting to show off. But yer not looking at what yeh could do.” The Scottish beauty directed his attention to her aunt. Siobhan. Wife of the club president. Director of the Open Arms Food Bank. Champion of the underdog. And now, car show promoter.And it was because of her that they were now walking around looking at classic cars. Modified cars. Chopped and dropped. Specialties. Customs. And the same with bikes.
I just want to give the girls a normal life. OK. Normal for us. – PaganPagan’s lease was up and the buyer for Cookie’s flip house fell through. It was a perfect match. And the girls each had their own room. That was worth everything to Pagan. The three years difference was becoming more and more like the Grand Canyon with every year. Their difference in personalities resembled the Marianas Trench. With the Grand Canyon inside.He didn’t remember his siters fighting this much. Then again, Ciara never took a pair of scissors and magic markers to Samara’s Barbie doll’s hair. And Samara never had to retaliate by putting Monster High dolls in the oven a la Hansel and Gretel.At least his girls were creative.Pagan just hoped that the turn of the century Queen Anne in the historic district of Monroe was still standing when they moved out. Alyssa declared that they were moving into the Addams Family mansion. Ashlyn thought that it was a palace. He was just hoping for
Our cute little neighborhood is going downhill because of people like you. – Mrs. William Henderson-Brown There was a loud knock on the door and Pagan hoped to any god that was listening, that it was the pizza guy. Opening the door to a very angry looking old woman, he decided he should have directed his pleas to a goddess instead. Plastering on a friendly smile he looked at the woman who had to be in her eighties. At least. Her white hair was perfectly styled in the standard old woman poof above a stern looking face. Dark eyes scowled at him, and lips were pressed together in a thin line. Her blue dress was impeccable with coordinating shoes and a black wood and silver walking cane.“Hello.” Pagan said offering a hand. “Your children are bothering me.” She said the word children as if it were offensive. Pulling his hand back, he leaned against the door frame. It was hot and they were playing in the waterhose. Maybe they were a little loud, but they were also
I need something a little more… unique. Less normal. – Shiloh The great thing about living next to Karan, she was willing to take the girls to the daycare. The girls loved the new daycare and even Ashlyn no longer complained about going. Since she was now in the double digits at ten-years-old, she was practically an adult. Her attitude lately had reflected this opinion. If this was how the preteen years were, he completely understood why some animals ate their young. It was completely self-preservation.But today was Tuesday. And Tuesday was cooking club day, Ashlyn’s favorite club at the daycare. Nessie, a professionally trained chef, came in every Tuesday and taught a cooking class. Pagan also loved Tuesday. The girls came home and the three of them made dinner together. Not only did the girls learn a skill, but his own cooking improved. But, before they could cook dinner tonight, he had to go meet with Cookie and his client. The good thing was t
Shy, I need a place to stay. – GertieLike most of their friends, Shiloh did not like Gertie's boyfriend, Mitchell. He wasn’t like them. Sure, he tried. He had the dark clothes, kind of. It wasn’t like there was a dress code. But with his slacks, loafers and polo or Oxford shirts, he just did not fit in. Most of the girls dressed like Shiloh in a psychobilly or gothabilly style. Or just straight up goth and punk. The guys were all similarly dressed. Almost all of them wore dark eye makeup, guys included. But not Mitchell. He was, in the words of Shade, a wannabe. He wannabe liked. He wannabe popular. He wannabe something he’s not.They got them every so often. Someone trying something new. Usually, they know pretty quickly if this is where they fit. There were also the partners and friends who didn’t live the goth style. And some that they called the weekenders.Mitchell didn’t fit into any of those categories either. He didn’t like the music. Th
I think it’s a great idea. Put the old bitty in her place. – Mia Mrs. Henderson-Brown was back home after her stay in the hospital. Pagan knew this because her son was standing on the front porch. His hair was dark blonde, and he was a few inches shorter than Pagan. The man had the same sour look and pursed lips as his mother. And his brown suit was also just as immaculate as her blue one had been.With a groan, Pagan opened the front door and stepped into the doorway. Pasting on his troublesome client smile, he greeted the man who. “Can I help you?”“I’m Edward Henderson-Brown the fifth.” The man said with self-importance as he held out some papers to Pagan. “Margaret Henderson-Brown is my mother.”“I’m Pagan.” He replied with a smirk, ignoring the papers. “The first.”Edward the fifth was not impressed.“This occurred on your property.” The man slapped the papers into Pagan’s chest. He looked down and watched them flutter to the ground before propping himself against the door fram
No, mother. I opened the stores hoping to lose money. – Shiloh Shiloh had lunch with her family on Sunday and was still recovering on Thursday. Her grandfather and cousin were supportive of her decision. The family business was a hard one, and not everyone was cut out for it. Shiloh was not. Despite her mother and current stepfather’s wishes and plans.“Shy?” Gertie called out as she entered Dark Moon carrying the day’s mail. “There’s a letter here from Elizabeth Giordano.”“She’s my … mother. Unfortunately, we don’t get to choose our parents.” Shiloh replied as she finished stocking the baby section. Several of her friends had babies and complained about the pastel baby crap, their words, not hers. When she came across a small business that specialized in goth baby items she reached out. Along with black onesies that declared “Not smiling, it’s just gas.” there were also bottles with the poison label and Deadly Nightshade. Spider and skull rattles and teethers.
