The rest of the weekend passed in a blur and I didn’t see or meet up with Liam again. Gossip about Liam and me had spread like a forest fire. Everyone was talking about it. I don’t like being the topic of gossip but I kind of understand where they are coming from.Liam had behaved so out of charact
The Arboretum was huge so there was no way we would have to cross paths. He could work on one side while I worked on the other. Yes, that was perfect. We didn’t have to be in each other’s space.“That’s what I thought. Honestly I don’t get why two of the top students would all of a sudden lose their
“Fuck! I’ve been dying to do that the whole damn day” he whispers against my lips sending jolts down my spine.“Mhm” I mumbled before bringing his lips back to mine.His arm wraps around my waist while the other clutches my head. I step closer and then bring my hand to the back of his head, my finge
It’s been a week since Liam had that heart to heart with me and his words are still circling in my mind. I’m unable to think about anything except for that. After we finished talking we went for dinner, arriving together at the cafeteria.Of course the other students stared but I was too far gone to
“What about him?”I look at Becca debating whether to tell her or not but then I decide why the hell not. She was a friend and I could trust her. Besides, I need someone to help me unravel the web that was surrounding me.“I’m just confused, where he is concerned…He told me some things on Monday an
His arm snakes around my waist, bringing me closer before his lips descended on mine.“Would you two mind not getting freaky on the doorway”Ash’s voice startles me, making me jump away from Liam. I looked over his shoulder to find Seb and Cass curled against the sofa, while Xander, Ash and Adrian w
Once we were inside his room, Liam locks the door before setting me down on my feet.“Can you tell me what that was all about? You practically carried me in here like a freaking cave man” I snapped at him.Don’t get me wrong, I love his possessive side but what I do not like is being carried out of
“Come here” he commands in a husky voice.I don’t need to be told twice. I walk to him and stand head to toe with him. He grabs his t-shirt and pulls it from my body before scanning me, his eyes leaving a trial of molten lava on my skin.He then unties my robe before pushing it off my shoulder. It p
I watch as Ari runs through our backyard, playing with the other kids. She is so happy and so free that for a moment I wish I was a child again.When I woke up ten years ago, the doctor’s had been shocked. There had still been little activity going on in my brain and the doctors had told my family a
I hear them again but these time it’s painful anguished sounds, begging me to come back.“What is that?” I asked Mason with a frown on my face.“Those are the cries of the people you will be leaving behind if you decide to stay here” he answers.The cries get louder and louder as if I was right ther
BriI’m lying on my back in a beautiful lush green field. The sun was shining warmly on my face. I was wearing a flowing satin white dress and fuck did it feel good on my skin.Closing my eyes, I breathe in the warm clean air and smile at the birds chirping at a distance. It was peaceful here and I
She immediately begins her bubbly chatter and I answer her even though I’m not fucking sure what the hell she was talking about.She soon notices that Bri isn’t waking up and a frown takes over her face.“Mama, sleep?” she asks and I nod my head. She then maneuvers herself from my hand and on to Bri
A week, that’s how long it has been since Bri fainted and slipped in a coma. A week of heartache and regrets, a week full of pain and dashed hopes.I thought I knew pain, but nothing hurts more than knowing the girl you love is dying when you didn’t even get the chance to tell her how you feel.I ha
“Come on bunny, wake up! Let me see those beautiful green eyes” I shake her more but nothing happens.Fuck! Why wasn’t she waking up?I turn towards the rest and find them completely frozen.“Call the fucking ambulance” I shout at no one in particular.Kim drops the food she was holding while Ash, w
Liam.Nothing Bri said made sense to me. I look at her in my arms and it’s now that I’m finally admitting that she wasn’t okay and she wasn’t faking it to get my attention like I had thought.I carry her back to my room and then change her out of her clothes before putting her into my bed and coveri
“Ask Liam about her. Now let me go”I try again to move but her friends block me. I was starting to get anxious and agitated.“I’m asking you” she growls, making me take a step back.I’ve never been afraid of Suzie so I don’t know why all of a sudden I’m terrified of her. When she sees me stepping b
BriNo one ever tells you that dying feels lonely, because you have no one to tell how cold you begin to feel earlier on, or how you feel there is a looming shadow that has been cast over you.The small things that you once found pleasure in now seem dull, you go about your days in a dreamlike state
