2021-09-02 21:15:09After the dinner at Schuyler’s, Jake dropped Emily off at her place before we headed towards my street. Jake kept his face stiff and expressionless throughout the drive, but there is still a glint of softness in his eyes.
How a dinner that started off with a flowing conversation got sour just when I thought I could not get enough of the delicious meal still baffles me. I don’t know what is going on between Jake and Bay but its visible there is animosity between them. Jake casted me a look and snorted, the corner of his mouth curl up in a smirk. I pointed at my house and he pulled up. “I am very sorry about what happened tonight. I'm embarrassed that you had to see that . The dinner didn’t go as well as I had planned but I'd do better next time" he throws me an apologetic look.Related chapters
FATAL DESIRE Fingers on Strings
I came back from school with a wielded mind to get even. My phone was buzzing with text messages and calls from Jake but I was not in the mode to talk to anyone. Bay stood and watched me bullied by his circle without standing to my defense, and Claire ridiculed me in front of many student. Too much trouble for one day. I didn’t want anyone adding to my already lined up of problems I made my way to the basement to look for my mum’s old guitar. I haven’t stringed in a long time, and I do not have much time to practice. Tomorrow, is either I get a standing ovation or get booed. I was prepared for either of them. I didn’t want Claire thinking that her threats was the reason I withdrew from the audition. I have to be there, no matter what. It took a few try for me to open the basement door, it rusted hinged screeching with every shove. I can’t remember when last anyone entered the basement. Some of my mum’s old things were there. Cobwebs tickled my fac

…Jake crossed his arms, leaning against the doorframe. I stood in shock for a moment. He stared, towering my face. Between the two brothers, i can’t tell which is more weird. One just jumped out through my bedroom window and the other is staring right at me in the front door. “why do you look so shocked? Are you going to let me in or not! He asked. I stepped back to let him in. He stalked into the living room and plopped on the couch like he’d been here many times. I closed the door and braced myself to knock him off of his effrontery. I hurried to where he was seated forcibly trying to keep a straight face. “What are you doing here Jake?” I tightened my vocal as much as possible. “I was worried about you. You didn’t pick my calls and you probably left my messages unread" he said, raising his eyebrow with a smirk. “Jake you should leave” I said meanly.&n

…Everything Mr. Gab was saying in the classroom was breezing behind me. My attention and senses was on the moving hands of the wall clock, waiting for it to hit at12 o’clock on the dot. My audition starts in 9 minutes and uncertainties was lurking around the edge of my subconscious mind. My chin rested in my hand as I drool to the wall clock counting out the seconds left in my head… 5,4,3,2, and before the bell chimed I was already on my feet. I heard Emily call out to me and without looking back at her i grabbed my guitar and breezed through the hallway into the audition room. A little queue of hopeful singers winds around the room. My nerve ramped when I caught glimpse of Claire and her click, Tammy and Diana on the judges table. She was definitely up to sabotage me. Our eyes met and she gave me a tight-lipped smile. She lowered her head and started whispering with the girls. Ya! They are definitely up to no good.

The next morning, Jake led me into the barn to help milk the cows. Bay led a tan cow down the center aisle past us. He shakes his head when he saw Jake and I, and walked down the aisle to cool off. Throughout the process of milking the cow he could not get his eyes off of me. I’ve been spending so much time with Jake the past few days and Bay hated it. After sometime he huffed and stormed off.Jake is an interesting guy, one that knows how to treat a woman and I loved that about him. I enjoyed spending time with him and I think I might just be falling for him too? I found myself admiring all he does… As he milked the cow, I couldn’t resist gulping to his flexed biceps, his strong jawline, his red lips, his thick blonde hair and his sparkling eyes. He glanced up at me and my heart skipped. “did you hear what I said?” he askedI barely registered what he was saying as my memory was flooded with an illicit thoughts of we

There is a lot of debate and stigma that surrounds teen love. Many adults brush teen relationships off, believing that they are unable to stand the test of time. However, this believe is not entirely valid. Call it puppy love or lust there are many popular people who married their High School love, like Lebron James and Savannah Bronson. The only problem on my part is that I love three and do not want to lose either of them. I cannot choose between them because I love different things about them.High School wasn’t a smooth ride for me. I was seen as a freak, a farm girl, a nerd and nobody wants to be linked or associated with me. My self esteem got crushed in our first year when Emily and I auditioned for Cheer. I got booed out of stage when I fell flat on my ass. Emily followed me, even though she got in. She is this friend that’d give up her dreams to see you happy. She’d never be in something I wasn’t in on. Emily was always there f

…My Dad is running for Mayor? I could not place my finger on his sudden interest in politics. He maintained a very strict a-politicism, and would often narrow politics as a dirty game. This sudden declaration doesn’t sit well with me. He’d be running against very influential men. The likes of Mayor Gustavo, who’s end goal is to win even if it meant tramping on his opponents.I walked across a field and towards a groove of trees. I made my way through the trees to a clearing with a rearing fire pit. It’s my favorite part of the ranch, a spot where I’d often hide anytime I need alone time to think. I lost connection with my Dad the very day my mum left, and politics is definitely going to keep us farther apart. I’m just a young girl who wants a simple life, I wasn’t asking for too much.I sat by the fire gathering my thoughts when the trees rustled on the far side of the fire pit and Jake burst into the clearing. I start

I rushed upstairs and packed few of my basic essentials. Jake haven’t told me where he was taking me but I was very excited. I haven’t been on a road trip before, plus I’d like to drive. My Dad doesn’t let me get any close to his truck and I’ve been dying to drive since I got my driver’s license.Breezing downstairs my Dad was leaning on the door frame while Jake waited by his car. It was hard to envisage what was going on in his mind but he certainly wasn’t happy about letting me go.He’d never let me do anything he considered risk taking. Like when my class went on a hiking trip, when Emily’s mum invited me to go camping with them, going to an excursion was strictly under his watch too … a whole lot of fun stuffs he restricted me from doing because I’d get injured. I was surprised when he told me to go with Jake. Totally unlike him.I went up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder… He gazed at me for a moment and enveloped me into a hug. &nb

…."We could really get into a very fatal accident” I giggled, as Jake’s hand curl around the back of my neck, lightly teasing my skin. “I’d die happy” he chuckled, trailing from my neck to the edge of my bra.I moaned as his knuckles brushed against my nipples. The overwhelming sensation made me to step my foot on the brake pedal. We jolted. My heart sank into my stomach. I exhaled, gathering my breath. I gave him a villainous glare and he shrugged. “What?” “If you are prepared to die, I’m certainly not gonna die with you” “Fine, just keep your eyes on the road” he said and tapped a comforting hand on my lap.I started driving, this time at a very low speed. He trailed his fingers higher on my thighs and reached to stroke my

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.

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

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

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.

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.
