Her piercing blue eyes locked with mine, Her thin lips pursed into a straight line as the edges of her lips quivered, it was almost as if she was trying to stiffen a laugh but could barely do it right.She scoffed. Her naturally long silky hair looked roughed and tattered but the stare in her eyes remained, the hatred she had nurtured for years stood still and growled like a storm."I never I would see you again. Yet, here you are." Her voice was icy cold and heavy, I rolled my eyes at her antics and mediocre attempt to scare me.“I also never knew I would come here, but fate had other plans didn’t it?” I said as I drew out the steel chair opposite her, I watched as Rye eyed me down, her gaze as sharp and piercing but I had spent too many years as the object of her hate to be moved at this point.“Don’t tell me you came all the way here to mock me.”I heard her speak, Her voice sounded calmer this time, almost as if she was struggling to bury all the anger she bore against me.“Tomorrow

"What are you even saying?" I asked and felt my face contort in confusion. What was she on about and how in the world did she end up on that trail of thought?If anyone knew how much I loved and cared about Derek, It was Rye. She knew. We suffered together, she knew how much I suffered when he died when he was murdered and I felt something bubble inside of me at the fact that she thought I was capable of it."Don't deny it," Her voice was low and void of any emotion I recognized. She took another step toward me. "For years..." She trailed off and a tear rolled down her cheek. "For so many years, I lived away from my father, I grew up with someone else, I even lived in the streets at one point." I bit my lip as she sucked in a deep breath and shut her eyes, They snapped open and she locked eyes with me."Then my father finally came back to me." She took another step toward me, the sound of her footsteps was loud and clear in my ears and I could see how she was visibly shaking. Tears st
FIRE CRACKER THOUGHTS & DESPUTES (95)
“Danielle,” I heard Tyler’s voice as I walked out of the prison. He was wearing a brown polo shirt and deep blue jeans. Even from the distance, I could still see the brown mop of hair that was right beside him.I sighed as I walked towards them, Matilde’s funeral was a few hours ago and although I wished I could have attended, Tyler supported the idea of visiting Rye. I blew out breath from my cheeks as I increased my pace and it was not too long before I was right in front of TYLER.The black-haired man wore an expression that seemed almost impossible to read. Trace had hidden away from me, something he had been doing lately and I was struggling to decide whether or not he was shy or if he simply did not like me.“How did it go?” Tyer’s voice sounded strange, almost as if he was trying to cover up his actual one with some sort of façade and it was not working.“She thinks I did it,” I could barely hear my voice over the sound of cars speeding.“Did what?” Tyler’s forehead creased and

It did not make sense.None of this made sense and as much as basically seventy percent of the things that have happened in my life made sense, this particular day took the trophy crown and everything in between.“…I can’t believe that just happened…” I could barely hear Tyler over the sound of my heavy footsteps as I paced to and fro the living room, my insides twisted and turned and I could feel my chest tightening up. I bit down on my lip and tugged my hair as I ran over every possible reason as to why things had turned out this way.From my peripheral vision I could see Leonardo tossing a coin to the roof and barely catching it each time, Tyler was brewing himself coffee — something that painfully reminded me of how stressed and panicked he must be.“I don’t understand any of this.” He spoke and sipped his coffee. I froze on my steps and bit down on my lips harder, tears stung my eyes and I tugged harder on my hair. Neither Tyler nor Leonardo interfered this time.I was sure they

My hands shook and my ears ached. The sound of gunshots invaded them and I shut my eyes, I stumbled back a second time and landed right into the wall, My eyes shot open as I struggled to breathe, flashes from that night hit my rays.“Danielle? Are you alright?” in a moment, I could feel Tyler’s warmth and smell his cologne. It took me a few seconds to. muster enough stamina to look into his eyes.“He—He knew him,” I breathed and I felt my face contort in confusion, It felt like I was going to go into overload soon, between the trail, Alice’s actions, Rye’s release, and now this revelation.“Wait, what? Who? What are you saying?” Tyler asked. He was practically carrying my weight as I tried to balance on my two feet, My legs wobbled.“Aiden, Aiden Horan, Derek paid him every month for their long years! They knew each other!” I breathed as I dragged my feet across the ground and began to pace around, it seemed like Tyler had taken advantage of the time I spent struggling to walk and pac

“J-Jared?” I sputtered.“Danielle! I need your help! Please help me!” He begged with glistening eyes.“Ho— How did you get in here?!” I asked as I tried to stand up but he pulled me down. “Please! She’s going to kill me—” He cried as he tugged on my hand. I glanced frantically at the door, Why had Tyler or Leonardo not come in?“Who's going to kill you?!” I asked as I tried to pull away from him, but the hair on my neck stood and it suddenly felt like I was in some weird horror movie. I eventually pulled away from him and slammed him into the wall, I struggled to breathe as I stared at his distressed form. “I- I didn’t want it to go this far, I promise Danielle, This wasn’t the plan.” He expressed in a sorrowful tone. “What’s going on?” I whispered with my hand over my chest, I was still struggling to deal with how weird this whole situation was, and most importantly. How he got in.Silence reigned for a few seconds before Jared licked his lips and locked eyes with me “Alice is g
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
