FIRE CRACKER I’m not ready (166)
I could barely gasp for air as the pressure around my neck increased, I kicked and tried to move, I wasn’t thinking straight, all I wanted to do was get out of the death trap I had found myself in.The fact that the room was pitch dark and I was gradually sinking into my silk sheets and the cozy bed was not helping either, panic swelled in my sour chest and I gasped for air but it came out muffled and the pressure on my air intensified. I was almost sure that this was it, This was exactly where I would die and there was no way I could fix it or save myself, despite my pitiful situation, I found my thoughts trailing to Tyler, I wondered if he would care about my death and I had to mentally smack myself at my trail of thought The lights came up immediately a loud smack was heard and the pressure on my neck reduced significantly. I blinked and gasped for air, I could feel arms wrap around me but I kept my eyes shut for a few seconds as the light affected my dilated pupils even more.“A

“I cannot believe that you dared to show your face here.” Isabel spat the moment I walked into my office with Alexander.She sits in my chair, comfortably pressed against it with her legs on my desk. The caramel color of the walls glared at us both as I forced a smile. “I am not here to fight with you,” I spoke sharply and took casual steps into the room, almost as if she wasn’t there at all. “But if you are looking for trouble…” I continued and placed my brown bag on the table. “Then I can match that energy.” I spat and made eye contact with her.She broke out into serene laughter and her blonde wavy hair sat on her shoulders comfortably, her amber-green eyes shone at me brightly and a greedy grin played on her lips. “Are you challenging me, sister?” She said and raised an eyebrow in what I assumed was supposed to be a threatening manner.“I don’t make threats,” I said in a monotone voice. “I make promises,” I added. I shuffled through my bag and pulled out the files that Elliot had

I let out a soft sigh and stood up, Alexander offered me a soft smile and I ran my hands through my short hair. I casually walked over to my desk and got comfortable in the chair.“You don’t want to talk about it, do you?” Alexander voiced my thoughts and I let out a sad chuckle. The man sighed and took the seat opposite me. “You’ve changed.” He admitted rather quietly. I was glad he voiced that thought, because I had changed, I had changed so much that it wasn’t only my physical appearance that I could no longer recognize, everything about me felt so foreign.“Is that a good thing… or a bad thing?” I offered as I picked up a file and began to look through it. It was the recent project Daniel had been working on and he made me promise that I would read the whole thing and give him my feedback on it. As much as I was no fan of reading or paying attention to boring things like these for so long, I found myself somewhat obliged to help him out. the feeling of having siblings was finally

“How are you feeling?” Alexander spoke as we walked into the company’s parking slot. It was evening now and the sun had set, I licked my lip and rubbed my hands together.“I am fine.” I replied the three words I had rehearsed since birth. It was normal for me now. Saying I was fine was like a white lie that tasted like a sweet truth I could not attain. My hands clenched and unclenched in front of me.Worry clawed on my skin at the thought that Alice could have been behind the attack on me and my insides twisted because charlotte was a suspect too. As much as I wanted to believe her sob story about change, I knew a chameleon could only change its colors not his nature and she was a chameleon.“You don’t sound fine,” Alexander admitted. “Why do you push everyone away? All we want to do is help-”“The last person I let in, loved and was sincere with is getting married to someone else. So don’t try to teach me how to express myself!” I spat. I was sick and tired of people trying to tell m

The gun fire had gone on for a while before Daniel showed up with some men I recognized from the mansion, two of the man that had been shooting at us escaped, but the one I had shot in the foot lingered around. The man was apprehended by the men from the house and we drove home casually.“For a moment there, I thought we were actually going to die or something.” I breathed. Daniel glanced at me from the drivers mirror and squeezed my hand. A silent reassurance from him that I had been getting a lot of lately.The drive to the mansion was awfully quiet and when we arrived, I immediately went up to my room for a nap, I needed to sleep all the adrenalin off, as much as you wanted a superstar character, I’m only human and I get tired too.I had woken up a few hours later, just in time for dinner but I was nit ready to see anyone, well apart from one person. I untangled myself from my thick purple duvet and slipped on my soft flip plops. Even after that long nap, I felt exhausted. I wasn’t

"You are going insane." Charlotte deadpanned and I could see the anger in her eyes at my audacity. A low chuckle escaped my vocals and I grinned viciously at her. "I thought that was something we had already agreed on?" My voice was light and barely held any emotion. "Do you think I would put you in harm's way? And tell Alice that you were alive?" She demanded in an offended tone. "Well, I also did not think that you would lie and try to shut me behind bars but look at how that turned out!" I gritted out in a sharp tone, her gaze never left mine and I made sure to match her gaze. "You are making a big mistake." She informed me in a calm tone and proceeded to walk away but I shoved her back and held the knife to her neck, her eyes doubled in its size and I could feel the tension in her body increase drastically. Her eyes darted towards my hand and back to my eyes, "You wouldn't dare." She spat the three words and I scoffed. "You seem to expect too much from some like me..." I le
FIRE CRACKER I’m freaking out! (172)
The second time I opened my eyes, I met a rather odd sight. Right at the edge of what I assumed was my bed, someone sat still.My eyes traced from the brown jeans to the tied messy brown hair before I locked eyes with her. Her eyes held such emotion that could send shivers down anyone’s spine. Yet for some reason, I found myself grinning ear to ear and I could see it.I could see she was irritated.“This is what you wanted right?” She spat in a menacing tone that was soaked with frustration, I rolled my eyes at her approach, the animal beneath her perfect exterior was banging on the walls to be open.I tsked at her obvious displeasure. “Don’t tell me...” I began and matched her gaze, “That you can’t even swallow your bitter pill?” I spat at her, my voice was hoarse and I felt weak, but I knew I had to muster the strength to stand up to this woman no matter what. “I treated you with nothing but kindness.” She gritted out with pained eyes.“You ruined my life from the day I was born.”
FIRE CRACKER My next move. (173)
“Danielle—” Emily tried to speak. I could see her eyes glisten with tears and her hand's clench, she stared at me with a pained expression, as if she was trying to communicate with me Telepathically. “Tell me Emiliana.” She perked up at her full name. I could barely hear any emotion in my voice. For the first time, my thoughts were quiet. It was an awful reminder of the day Tyler and I had met for the second time at the hospital when Rye had been hit. I remembered that I was about to end it all and he stopped me. I regretted the fact that I did not swallow those pills. If I had known that things would end up this messy or painful, I would have ended my life before I got to see reality like this. My eyes stung with tears and I bit harder on my lip. My grip on the railing loosened even though I felt I could collapse at any time. “Did he or did he not get married, Emily!” I snapped. “Emily, I am asking you a—” “He did!” She confessed and tears rolled down her eyes. She reached ou
