LOGIN“Anyway,” Lilly drawls, stretching, “where were you headed just now?”“Breakfast.”“Oh good,” she claps her hands. “I’m starving, but we’re not going downstairs. We’ll just have our meal here.”I don’t argue. Just seeing Noah earlier feels like it drained every ounce of energy from my soul.After br
Sierra.“Uhm… hello?” I say, leaning back against the wall.The scene unfolding in front of me is eerily similar to yesterday except this time, Lilly is here. She’d told me before she left that she was heading to the meeting and would be back before I woke up so we could plan something to do.Appare
The words are right there on my tongue. Every reason why I would never, not in this lifetime, give her a chance... But then everything inside me freezes.I try to fight the thoughts. Try to bury them, to forget them, but they keep resurfacing like an unwanted fucking rash.My hand clenches. My heart

“Fuck, it hurts” Emma screams in agony, making me come out of my shock just in time to see the man raise his pistol. I scramble to take the gun that I had dropped and immediately fire. He drops to the ground. I get up and rush to Emma, who was writhing on the ground. I don’t even check if the man
“Fuck, you scared me” I put my hand on my chest as if that would slow down my beating hard. “Sorry. I thought you saw me coming in” she says looking sheepish. I was so lost in my thoughts that I hadn’t realized that they had entered the private booth. “It’s okay…I just have a lot on mind” “Care
