“Ms. Hayes, do not be in a haste with your decision. Just go home and think about it, then report back to my office tomorrow. The thing is, there is a competition coming up soon and for Fothoman High music club to participate – we’d’ need at least fifteen members. Before you take a decision also, do not forget to think about the opportunity this could create for you and for us all in the future” she said and sauntered off.Yeah right! I shrugged and turned to open my locker.Tammy walked up to me and leaned a hip against the lockers. “You shouldn’t let Claire scare you off of what you love doing. Listen to Mrs. Gupta” she advised. “ the music club need you”Tammy used “need” like I am one hot shot. Why does he think the music club need me? “ oh yeah, and why is that?&rdqRelated chapters
FATAL DESIRE No Denial
Emily deliberately cleared her throat and we jolted apart “lunch is ready” she said, setting plates on the table. “sorry for the interruption” she gave a knowing smirk. Completely embarrassed, Jake ran a hand over the nape of his neck before pulling a chair back for me to seat. Seated on that table having lunch, my stomach churned with guilt. I had promised Bay that I’d end things with Jake, and I had also promised Jake the same thing. No one ever told me that being in a love triangle can be so emotionally draining. Emily, I haven’t really forgiven her I can’t forgive such betrayal so fast. it’s not even possible – I am not so forgiven. Tammy had advised me to keep her close but only to understand the pros and cons of it all and stand at an advantage – use her to get under Claire’s skin – simple!*** Few minutes after I had seen Jake and Emily to his motorcycle, I stalked back into t
FATAL DESIRE First Official Date
First date? I was having a little bit of panic and handful of jitters sprinkled on top. As I search through my wardrobe for a perfect dress that'd be more suitable for a daytime coffee date or a trendy new restaurant in town kind of date, either of the two places – I wasn’t certain on where he’d be taking me though, but I have to look it.Frustrated, I plopped on the bed. Jake was waiting downstairs and I was yet to find a single dress good enough for a date. I let out a heavy sigh – this one surprisingly laced with a hint of disappointment. Surly disappointed at myself for not being a proper lady. I picked my phone from the bed and texted Jake “ fashion emergency”.I might as well be a dick and cancel on him last minute. Besides, I was exhausted from sex with Bay and just want to grace my bed with my consumed body. I yawned and tossed the phone back on the bed. Jake knock came softly against the door and he poked his head in &ldqu
FATAL DESIRE The Accident
My sense started to recollect and I squeezed my eyes opened to an unfamiliar hazy room“thank goodness! She just opened her eyes” A voice trembled beside me“Get the doctor” a second voice said while reaching to hold me.My vision became clearer and I found myself in a hospital bed, with no idea what had happened, or why I was there. Aches of various sorts engulfed me, but the main one was a deep, crawling hunger. That was when I remembered that the last thing I had was ice cream and that I was in the ice cream shop with Jake.“Jake” I gasped, bolting upright, but strong hands gripped me and pinned me back on the bed.“ Hailey, you are badly hurt, please don’t struggle” my Dad’s voice came calm and cold as he held me in place.“Where is Jake?, what happened to him?” my heart started pounding as I recollect watching him rolling down the road with the motorbike on top of him. “D
FATAL DESIRE Sinful
I saw myself running down stairs upon stairs until I hit the basement of the hospital building. I sat my back against the wall, closed my eyes and when I squeezed them open, gush of uncontrollable tears flooded them. I never had imagined a day would come when I'd have to share my place beside Jake with another woman. Not just any woman but his runway wife. Someone he once had squirming beneath him. The mother of his child...“Dad called her” Bay’s voice shot me out of my reverie. “ I’m sorry you had to find out this way” He walked down the rest of the stairs. “ you know, Jake and I never really get along since we were children” He paused, and walked to lean his back beside me. I squeezed out the tears in my eyes with two of my fingers and sniffled “ why?” I curiously asked. “ I don’t know. Let just say, we never agreed on the same thing- we had different views about literally everything. When I
FATAL DESIRE Fate
“ Jennet… can you tell me more about her?” I asked Bay. I don’t think I was ready to hear anything about Jennet, but my curiosity was driving me on. “You've seen her, she is beautiful and fierce, quite intimidating, huh?” I ignored his snort and looked away “ Hailey, I know what Jake mean to you, and I'd do my best to help you reach out to him”I casted Bay a I sidelong glance, “for real?”“You don’t believe me?” He shook his head. “just keep in mind that you are mine. We’d resume fighting when he gets better”Never had i imagined that a day like this would come when Bay will be all out helping me to overcome my deep emotional crisis which I had no single control over.Bay pulled up in the hospital parking lot and I climbed down, slamming the door shut. We both stormed toward the entrance, the pain of having seen Jennet all over Jake, showing fake emotions rippe
FATAL DESIRE The Casino
I climbed out of the car and circled around to the other side and waited for Tammy to come out as well. A sign Post caught my attention “ Crismo Bar”. Tammy came out of the car and shrugged her backpack up her shoulder.“Hey, is this where you work?” I pointed her to the Bar. “ Just come with me. Don’t fall behind. Do not act surprised at anything you see, just play cool” her warning was vivid. “ What is going on?”“… And no questions” she punctuated as she began crossing the road.Slowly walking behind Tammy, we entered a very rowdy bar filled with all kinds of people. Thick stench of smokes emanating from cigarettes and stench of bear and cocktail permeate the room. I never new a place like this existed in Fothoman Town. I have lived all my teenage life doing nothing aside shuffling from home to school, and even while at school I spend my free period in the library.We ma
FATAL DESIRE Lead Me In
I got back home to find my Dad waiting up for me “ Hi, Hailey”“ Hi, Dad, sorry I came in late” I apologized while reading his face.We both fell silent for an awkward moment. Dad scratched the back of his head, then cleared his throat “ about earlier, I spoke a bit too harsh. I shouldn’t have mentioned your mother knowing how you feel about her”. Oh yeah! Every time Mr. Hayes is angry, he says really hurtful things but in the end, he takes self accountability. It’s easy for him to say sorry to me, but sometimes I’d just be too prideful to own up to my own mistakes. If I must grow, then learning to say sorry would be a great start.“ I am sorry too. Dad, you were right about everything you said. I was blaming you a lot for my mistakes, and it’s really unfair. I will do better, I promise”“ it’s just – I know you think you’re a grown-up now. But you don’t se
FATAL DESIRE Passion That Burns
Loud laugh vibrated through his chest “ Red is just a street word used to tell a novice apart a wild person. Nothing serious”“ what do you do here?” I asked. He looked into my eyes and heaved a sigh “ you promised, Bay. You promised to answer my questions”“ Hailey… The casino, my Dad owns it – not all of it – a part of it. It jointly belongs to my Dad and the Mayor. My jaw dropped in shock and I took a step back. Bay pulled me in closer “ I know what you must be thinking. But believe me, some of the activities going on in there is not one that I am proud of” “ You do know it’s illegal to run an underground casino in Fothoman, right? And to think the filthy place is co-owned by our very own Mayor? Bay, this is too much to digest” “ I don’t even know why I’m telling you all of this. I just figured I’ve been keeping a lot of secret from you. And for

FATAL DESIRE Prom Night Special
Bay and i made our way through the crowd. The coach placed a glittering crown on our head. Bay cleared his throat and looked at the audience.“ I really want to thank everyone who voted for my girl and I…” he paused as the crowd cheers and claps.“ Thank you all for a the love and support… and to my team members… Lions! You all are the best" he cleared his throat and fixed me into a heated gaze. " I have some good news to share…”The hall went quite. My heart began to palpate loudly. I have had too much surprises for one night… what the hell is he about to do this time again.?My eyes caught Emily’s and she beamed a smile. I gave her the tiniest shake of my head. Why so much surprises? If I had any idea that they'd plan all this for prom, I could have been more prepared. Bay took my hand. His eyes locked on mine. “I finally met someone who gets me. Someone I can't stop thinking about. Someone who lights up the whole room with her passion... Someone who tolerated all
FATAL DESIRE Her Fall, My Reign
“ I am going to deal with you. You feared me Tammy, you should still be scared because you are obviously not aware of what I’m capable of” Claire blew hot.“ feared? Past tense” Tammy smirked mockingly. She then starts circling around Claire like a vulture who's spotted a carcass on the ground. “ I think you should be afraid because I Know you. I know a lot about you Claire Gustavo”“ What do you know?” She scoffed“ You know, that I know – that you and Brad have been sleeping together. You begged me to keep it a secret, remember? even though you were with Bay. You cheated on him with his best friend. Very shameful” Tammy shook her head.The entire crowd erupted in a jaw dropping gasp. Eyes turned to Brad who is seated across the hall. “ what? Get my name out of your mouth bitch” Brad yelled out.Claire glances around her, eyes widening as she starts to real
FATAL DESIRE Prom With Some Drama
Soon, Tammy drove us to the venue. I couldn’t shake off the thought of seeing Bay in my head. I might drop dead in the ballroom if Bay is with Claire. Bay is obsessed with being popular, he may want to enter as the prom King with Claire as his Queen – which is totally understandable if he had told me about it instead of standing me up.“Shall we?” Emily’s voicedWe walked inside to find the atrium completely transformed. Even though I had little excitement in me it was a thrilling sight to behold. Everything about the hall screams A Night Under the Stars. I felt the baby inside of me leap in excitement as well and that made me smile. " I Know baby, it's so beautiful" I said under my breath, cradling my stomach.Tammy held my wrist and pulled me to a stop. “ Hailey, whatever you see in there, please do not breakdown. I want you to carry yourself like a queen. Don’t let anyone ruin this beautiful moment f
FATAL DESIRE Date To Prom
The day for senior prom was finally here and I was having double feelings about it. I didn’t want to go, not after everything that happened in this past few days. But Bay was very persistent. I didn't go to junior prom so I clearly have no idea of what being to prom feels like.losing virginity on prom night is a common plot point in some of the teen movies I’ve seen but that should be for those who are still virgins, right? To me, there was really nothing there for me. I never danced before, I never thought about dancing before, I am very conscious about dancing – so there is really nothing special about this day for me. It might be for the high school sweethearts who are waiting on this day to finally mate and lose their virginity together on prom night – like Emily and Tammy.“ I never would've made it through this year without you, Ems” I told Emily who was helping me sort cloths from my wardrobe. Weird. I forgot to shop for a new ball gown.“ silly, Y
FATAL DESIRE Bleeding Heart
I finished classes for the day and Emily catches up to me at my locker.“ What time are you leaving for Okhlay?” she asked.“ I’m waiting for Bay to finish his practice” my phone vibrated in my jeans pocket and I dropped my heavy backpack on the floor, leaning it against my leg for support. I Slid out my phone and saw that it was Jake. I’ve missed several calls from him as well “ Jake?” I was surprise he’s calling at 2pm when I already told him that we’d be in Okhlay by nightfall.I answered the call and it was Uncle George “ Hailey, come to Newton Hospital… now”“What’s wrong?” I asked but my question met a dead silent from the callers end.My blood ran cold as I tucked my phone into my pocket. There's no good reason why Uncle George would be calling me from Jake’s phone. I mean, he never called me before… i slammed my locker shut and followed Emily down the hall to the gym. From the tone of my voice, Bay sensed how worried I was and followed me outside the parking lot w
FATAL DESIRE Who Is Your Date To Prom?
I picked the call and the smile on my face disappeared immediately at what I saw. Jake looked small and exhausted, his skin pale and paper thin. I could not understand how he could’ve changed so much in such a short period of time. He smiled at me, but his smile was weak and straining “ how have you been, Psych?”I couldn’t smile, I couldn’t speak… I just stared at him through the phone screen. I held back the tears in my eyes. If I let even a single tear drop from my eyes, he’d know just how scared I was – I was dead scared. I couldn’t even recognize Jake. He was completely gone – the vibrant and all bubbly Jake I fell madly love with almost looked like he was vanishing.“ psych, did you get my gift?” he asked.“ yes… they are lovely. Thank you so much” “ I’m glad you like it. I couldn’t think of anything better, I’m sorry”&ldquo
FATAL DESIRE Cards That Lift Mood
Mrs. Gupta sat back and looked at us, her face inscrutable as she considered our proposal.“ Mrs. Gupta, the music club is fallen apart because of the way Claire has been running it as the president. You won’t tell me you don’t see what she’s doing or maybe you're just turning a blind eye. She has turned the club into a zone for bullying innocent students who just want to have the opportunity to share their talents – people like me. Those with frail heart who can't keep up with her insolent and rude behavior will only walk away. The Fothoman High Glee club can't keep losing young talented students because of one person"“ The club is fragile, and if you enter it for a competition in this state – I am sorry to say this Mrs. Gupta... But I don’t think Fothoman High Glee club will make 5th position, which will be very embarrassing” Tammy added.“ no one wants to be associated with failure… not even you. I
FATAL DESIRE Break-up
Bay looked at me closely and smirked “ the coach benched me for pushing Brad, he told me to catch up with my studies"“ This has nothing to do with me, right?” I asked, studying him closely. No matter how much he’d try to hide the difficulties he was facing at that point from me, his eyes would still give him away. He looks at me differently – he was avoiding eye contact. “Tell me the truth, how do you feel about this?” of course, I am pregnant, it's okay if he feels miserable.... Afterall, who'd want to be called a teen father?He narrowed his eyes and his eyebrows tugged inwardly “ he should not have spoken to you the way he did. He had no right to do that… I should have done something about Brad earlier” he held out his hand and I placed my hand in his palm. He squeezed my hand into his tightly. Oh? Okay - he isn't mad about the pregnancy. It was his altercation with Brad that set his mode off.I li
FATAL DESIRE All Things Coming Together For Good
Emily and I found posters for prom plastered all over the hallway while we were on our way to the gym where the basketball teams are practicing. “ What’s your plan for prom? Who is taking you?” Emily asked as she tore out one of the posters from the wall. “ Just add it to the list of things I’d be missing out in” “ Bay isn’t taking you? Girl, this is your time to shine on the dance floor. You finally have a boyfriend. That's the least he can do for you, to make up for all the times he was being a dick”“ I won’t ruin his chance of wearing that golden crown again. We all know how much he loves wearing the crown and Making a dramatic speech. I’d never take that away from him”We’ve barely walked into the gym when the ball Brad was chasing bounced and landed on my feet. He placed his leg on top of it to prevent it from rolling further and placed his hands on his hips as he bl
