FIRE CRACKER BREATHE (89)
This hospital was a complete contrast to anyone I had ever seen. The depressing atmosphere seemed extinct and you could barely feel the urgency soaked in the walls. There was no loud barking from one medical practitioner to the other and there were no stretchers running about. I quickened my pace as I followed Tyler and Leonardo. The latter had been stuck to the duo ever since the incident, I felt a pang in my chest at the fact that the bit was probably lonely, especially after the incident with his family and the fact that he would barely see them in Canada.“How may I help you?” The receptionist was a petite blonde with dimples, She had tanned skin and her hair stopped just below her jaw, forming an exquisite bob.“I’m here to see my brother, Trace Adams, I’m Tyler Adams—” He rushed out and you could hear the urgency in his tone.“Oh my, You are Tyler Adams?” Her chirpy tone had lowered a bit, The edges of her lips curled downwards and her eye lid’s lowered. “Your family is waiting
FIRE CRACKER I DID SOMETHING (90)
A lot of time must have passed because the second time I opened my eyes, everywhere seemed darker than I had remembered and I shivered a bit. It took me a few seconds to register that I was alone in the room. I glanced across the blaring blue hospital room.The door had a small opening and I could hear quite murmurs from outside, I tried to move my body or swing my legs off the railing of the bed — I hoped it was a bed though, after all, what else was in a hospital room?As I swung my leg over though, a dull ache stung the back of my head and I bit down on my lip and bent my head in response, my hand ran over the sore spot, I hated whenever I had those flashbacks. I needed to get out of the room and check on Tyler but I would have never expected the sight I met in front of me."You are the only child I know who frowns after seeing their parents for the first time in a while." Her voice sounded stiff but bold, it held a bit of mockery underneath.My head shot up and I felt my heart pou
FIRE CRACKER TRACE (91)
I stumbled back, My limbs felt like jelly ad I could barely keep myself up, the scent of iron filled my nose and I became painfully aware of the fact that my lip was bleeding from hitting too hard on it, I took another step back and everything turned red as I burst down the halls back the room I had woke up from.“Alice!”I boomed, my voice was heavier than the pain in my chest, The guilt that was carefully tearing me apart and forcing me back into the dark place I spent years crawling out from. “Alice! Where are you?! Come out! Come out now woman! face me!” I growled. I was livid, my voice shook with anger and rage and my entire body shivered with an emotion I did not recognize. It felt like a movie.Like fate had not just played this cruel game with me, It almost felt too bad to be true, too sickenly unbelievable to be the reality, I clenched my jaw and barged into the room, but an empty room glared back at me.My feet gave out underneath me. What sort of Dilemma was this? Why me th
FIRE CRACKER SHE NEEDS TO STOP (92)
"Hi," I whispered as I locked eyes with the boy, he broke eye contact and looked away, I watched as he grabbed a fistful of the white sheets and squeezed it, while his eyes stung with fresh tears."Trace," It was Tyler's voice, it sounded forced and strained, I watched as the man took tentative steps towards the boy but was barely able to make it to the mop of brown curls when the boy croaked out."She's gone isn't she?" I almost stumbled but I gripped the wall for support. I could feel my insides rumble with a sensation that was foreign and nauseating. "Trace, I —" "You didn't save her." He shot a glare at Tyler with a sharp tone. "She trusted you and you couldn't save her." He continued. His voice was hoarse and low but it pierced daggers into my chest even though I wasn't the one it was directed at."And all because of her." My forehead creased as his eyes landed on me, He stared accused and it reminded me of Rye, I sucked in a sharp breath. Everything was happening too fast."No
FIRE CRACKER YOU KILLED HIM (93)
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
FIRE CRACKER THIS IS CRAZY (94)
"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
FIRE CRACKER NO WAY (95)
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
