FIRE CRACKER NOTHING HAPPENED 98
I sprinted down the hall and into my room. A bottle of vodka in my right hand and scissors in my left, reminded me of the one too many times I had cleaned up Coden’s wounds after he had been beaten up by his stepfather.Jared was heaving at the time I had gotten back, He was barely awake and seemed to be struggling with a few breaths, immediately I came into his line of sight he reached for me “Please just hang on.” I begged in a serious tone “Don’t die on me.” I mumbled when he locked eyes,He frowned and I watched his eyes glisten “Tha–that is too late now,” He admitted softly, I shook my head in frustration, He would not die on me.“No,” I protested “I need you alive Jared, please, this is not how it should have ended,” I said and bit on my bottom lip.Jared’s chest rose and he heaved, His body shook as he coughed out blood, I felt my heart drop. His eyes locked with mine and a tear rolled down my cheek “I didn’t want it to end like this.” He admitted softly. “It won’t end like thi
FIRE CRACKER FATE (99)
I shut my eyes and tears rolled down my cheeks, my insides twisted and my entire body shook as I slide to the ground. It had been approximately three hours since the paramedics had left. Since the detective and his friend walked through the doors.Now I was all alone. I was alone in my home and it had never felt this big, the thick scent of iron invaded my nose too many times to count, I curled into myself and rocked back and forth.I needed something to distract myself with. Something I could do — Something to take this pain away. But I knew grief better than any other man and it did not work that way. Grief and I were like friends because I was constantly losing things. Somedays people, Other days the will to live.That day, as I sat alone, resting on the wall, I realized that I had loved him. I loved Jared. I waiting for him for three long years. I waited for him to come back — With this sick mentality that once he was here everything would be alright. But of course, That wasn’t

“Wha—What do you mean?” I mumbled as I glanced between Tyler and Leonardo,The brown-haired boy scoffed and tossed the knife away. “She lost her memory, Happy now?” He shot at me and gestured with his hand. I stood up and sucked in a sharp breath, this could not be happening. Not now, not to me. For some reason, it felt like once a door opened up, something of someone shut it close every single time and it had become frustrating to play hide and seek with someone or something I have no clue about.“But how?” The words rolled out of my mouth. I found it hard to breathe or speak properly. Jared had just been murdered, and something worse was going to happen with Alice, Rye was out there planning who knows what and my only chance — the only lead I had to figure out the entire through had lost her memory.How convenient for everyone but me.“I don’t believe it,” I spoke sharply.“I don’t believe you either, but look, you are happening, carry out all this crap, live and in stereo.” Leonar

“Really?” I asked in one breath. Mrs. Amber nodded and sighed.“I’m so sorry I help on it for so long.” She apologized softly,“This—This is the best thing that could have ever happened to me.” I said as I traced my hands over the hardcover of the note “I mean it, thank you.”“I never thought you would be able to forgive me, Yet—““Thank you,” I said and a tear rolled down my cheeks. “Thank you so much, this— This means the world to me.”“Oh Danielle, I hope you find happiness and peace, soon. Very soon.” Mrs. Amber said in a sweet tone.“I hope so too.” I added, “Where are you going to stay? Do you have a place?” I asked as I glanced around to see if she came alone.“Well yes, Emily and I are staying at a hotel close by,” She admitted with a tight smile.“Oh no, I can’t allow that, you and Emily can come and stay at my place—”“Your Place?” I had half expected a response like that but I was not expecting the speaker to be well, the speaker.“You.” That was all I said when we locked e

“So, what are you going to do now?” Emily spoke when I had put my hand down. I rolled my eyes and ran my hands through my hair. I wanted to say something along the lines of I don’t know but then I realized that I do not owe her any explanations.I grabbed the bottle of Vodka that Tyler had left behind and chugged it down my throat. “Danielle!” Mrs. Amber Reprimanded as she grabbed it from my lips as tossed it aside. The sound of the bottle breaking pierced my ears but I stood straight. “I needed that whole,” I informed her with a straight face.“Oh grandma, I don’t think staying here is a good idea, she looks really troubled and all. Like she’s mentally unstable—”“You better shut up brat!” I roared. “I have had it with you! Ever since you got in my car all you have done is try to provoke me! Well here’s the gist, if you want to stay in my house and eat my food then you need to respect me or the door is right there, but Nana? She stays right here, I want to see who will stop me.” I b
FIRE CRACKER WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY (103)
I’m about to do something stupid. Something I would probably regret tomorrow but right now I was just absolutely exhausted and frustrated. I felt completely alone and I was dangerously close to believing that I was a burden or a problem. At this point, I was thinking straight, and as much as the logical part of my brain told me to go back to bed, the irrational one – which all always ends up following desperately tug at me to keep going. My feet dragged across the tiled floor, I had been walking for a few seconds but it felt like I had been on some never-ending journey where I was forced to walk on foot, I could hear silent whimpers leave my mouth and my eyelids could barely stay up. I wiped my tears with my hands and sucked in a deep breath with the consolation that I would soon be at my destination and It would be dawn soon. I hated nighttime. I hated when the moon came out and you could see the stars because over the years I had trained myself to hide from the horrific secrets an
FIRE CRACKER YOU ARE HURTING ME (104)
“I said, I’m sorry for your father’s death, I wish things could have gone differently.” She said with a small smile.I parted my lips to speak but all I could do was take in heavy breaths, I stared at her for a few seconds, my mind was running miles and struggling to come up with which of the theories it had suggested.Could it be that she had never lost her memory all along and she just slipped? Or was something else going on that I was not aware of? Whichever it was, it was becoming scary.“What do you know about my father?” My voice was fast spaced and sharp, she seems taken aback and confused by my sudden outburst.“I...” She began before she trailed off.“What do you know about my father? What do you know about him Charlotte? I won’t even be mad I promise!” I begged in a high-pitched tone, and her eyes widened.“Please, I—” Before she could say anything else she fell to the ground. I gasped and knelt by her side. “Charlotte!” I exclaimed at the sight, “Charlotte, please wake up,
FIRE CRACKER WHAT DO YOU WANT (105)
“Are you serious about this right now?” I asked as I glanced between them flabbergasted. They had assumed that. They assumed that I would hurt Charlotte.I loved Charlotte, she was the closest thing that I had to a mother, They knew this. They knew how much I loved and cared about her, I had never treated her like a maid, never.“Do you see what I mean Tyler?” I asked as I locked eyes with him, “Do you finally see what I mean when I say you say one thing and do the other?” I challenged with a raised eyebrow.“We’re not saying you hurt anyone, we are —” “That’s not what you insinuated a minute ago but it’s fine, It’s okay, you can think whatever you want, I don’t care anymore.” I spat. I watched as Tyler shut his eyes and sucked in deep breaths while Leonardo and Emilia helped Charlotte up. “What am I doing here?” She whispered, I wondered if she was going insane or she putting on an act, but no one in the room would believe me so that theory would be a waste“You’ve changed,” Tyler
