“How could you?!” Sean roared, interrupting Bryan and Henry’s discussion. He was jogging down the stairs with Amy following closely behind.The best friends stared at their children with clear confusion written all over their face.Why is Sean so angry and why is Amy chasing after him?“How could you do this to me, your own son?!” Sean yelled in anger, pointing at his father.“What are you talking about?” Bryan asked in confusion, standing up from his seat.“Sean, I beg you, please don’t say anything.” Amy pleaded once again.“Amy, what is this about?” It was now Henry’s turn to ask his daughter what was going on, because the sudden change of emotions in the atmosphere was deeply alarming.“You are supposed to be my father. You are supposed to have my back, to support me. But what do you do? You betray me and everyone around you!”“Okay, okay. Sean, will you please calm down and tell me where all of this is coming from?”Henry placed his hand on Sean’s chest to stop him from taking an
“Where did I go wrong as your father? What did I ever do to deserve such betrayal?!”“This isn’t about you, dad. This is entirely about me. I love Bryan!”“I don’t want to hear you utter those words again!”Henry and his daughter, Amy were having a shouting match in their living room, after returning from Bryan’s place.“I can’t help it, dad. Bryan is the only man I want to be with!”Henry raised his hand to strike his daughter in a fit of anger, but stopped himself midway. It took ever fiber in him to stop himself from actually hitting his daughter.Amy, who flinched away in fear thinking that her dad was going to hit her regained her composure when she realized that he couldn’t do it.“Why don’t you do it, huh? You didn’t think twice before hitting your best friend.”“Amy!”Henry loves his daughter so much and would never do anything to hurt her, but at the moment she was pushing him too far and he didn’t like it one bit, because knowing the kind of person he was, he could do someth
A knock on Henry’s study door tore his attention away from his laptop. Ever since Amy’s suicide incident, Henry has been working from home. He couldn’t risk anything happening to his daughter again.“Come in.” he said with a stern voice.In came one of the newly employed bodyguards.“Sorry to disturb you, sir, but I’m here to give you a report.” The blonde buff bodyguard said.“And what is that?” Henry asked.“There’s a man outside who insists on seeing you.”Henry didn’t need to ask who it was. He slammed his laptop shut and took long strides out of his study.Amy was staring out her bedroom window, like she was expecting someone. She has been doing that for the past two weeks, hoping to see the man she loves drive through that gate. As if her prayers were heard, she noticed Bryan’s black Lamborghini driving into the compound. She began smiling to herself, as tears of joy blurred her vision. She wiped her eyes and ran out of the bedroom.“What the hell are you doing here?! I thought
Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into a month.Amy was getting ready to go back to college, for her final year. She had spent the last two weeks of her summer break at her mom’s place, so she could be with her baby brother whom she had missed so terribly. She enjoyed her time with him, as he helped her forget about her problems throughout her stay there. But, now she was back to reality and she hated it.Amy’s phone started to ring on the bed where she had placed it, while she stood before her mirror, wrapping her hair in a ponytail. A smile crept up her face as soon as she saw the caller ID.“Hey, Mandy” she greeted her best friend, who was already done with college.“Happy birthday!” Mandy cheered from the other end.Although it was her birthday, Amy wasn’t one bit excited by it. This was by far the worst birthday of her life, and she’d never forget it.“I’d rather not be reminded of that.” she confessed with a frown, sitting on her bed, and picking up her phone which was pr
“Hello beautiful” his husky voice greeted at the other end of the phone, causing a deep blush to spread all over her cheeks.That was the kind of effect he had on her.“Hello to you too, hunk” she replied after regaining her composure, earning a deep chuckle from him.“Let me guess… Henry isn’t with you.”“Nah. He’s busy, so he sent a chauffeur.”“That’s new. I’m sure he’s worried sick right now.”“A little.” she said with a smile.“Can’t blame him though. You’re his everything.”“And you? What am I to you?”“You mean the world to me.”She knew that already, but still wanted to hear him say it, as it gave her the assurance and confidence she needed.“How was your flight?” He asked, changing the subject.“It was fine, although I was lonely.” she explained with a pout.“I miss you so much. I can’t wait to be with you.” she continued.“I was with you for a whole week just.. was it three weeks ago? When you lied about being sick.” he reminded her, chuckling at the end of his sentence as h
“I can’t believe we’re finally done with high school.” Mandy, Amy’s best friend said as they walked out of their school building.“Yeah. I was beginning to feel trapped.” Amy replied, shivering at the thought of being trapped.“It was taking forever, but we finally made it… Think of all the hot guys we’ll get to meet in college.”Amy rolled her eyes at her best friend’s comment.“Really, Mandy? Is that all you can think about?... I thought you and Jack are still a thing.”“Do you seriously think what I and Jack have would outlast our years in college?... Geez Amy, you give us too much credit than we deserve.”“Well, I thought you two were… You know what? Forget it. What college did you apply for?” Amy decided to change the subject so as not to upset her best friend.“University of Pennsylvania. You?”“I’m not going this year.”“What?! You were so anxious to finish high school and get into college.” Mandy exclaimed in shock.“I changed my mind.” Amy plainly replied.“There’s no way you
Amy was in her bedroom listening to music while surfing the internet for college options when she heard a knock on the door.“Come in!” she said, turning down the volume of the music.The door to her bedroom opened and in came one of the maids.“Yes Christy. How may I help you?” Amy asked with a glare, indicating that she was rudely interrupted.“Sorry for disturbing you Miss, but your dad asked me to come get you. Dinner is ready.”“I’ll be down in a minute.” she replied, rushing into her closet to get something decent to wear as she was just in a lingerie.She grabbed a white long sleeve off shoulder crop top and ripped denim pants and quickly got dressed.“Hey Dad” Amy greeted her dad who was already seated at the head of the dinning table with a kiss on the cheek before making herself comfortable at his right side, drooling at the meal before her.“Don’t be rude honey and say hi to our guest.”Amy could tell her dad was trying to hold back a laugh. Only when she tore her eyes away
“Dad, about that… I’m not going to college this year.” Amy quietly said, stealing a glance at her dad and Bryan, who both had shocked and confused expressions on their faces.“What?!... I don’t get it. What do you mean by ‘I’m not going to college this year?’…”Henry was trying his best to remain calm, but there was a distinct edge to his voice, Bryan could tell.“Amy, I’m waiting.” He pressed, slowly losing his patience.“Dad, I don’t think I’m ready for college.”“What do you mean, you’re not ready… For Christ sake Amy, you’ll be nineteen in less than a year.”“I know that dad, but I’m still not ready.” She retorted.“No one’s ever ready for anything… My God! Amy, what has come over you?! I thought we had this planned out.”“No dad, you had this planned out.”“Excuse me?”‘This is beginning to get heated.’ Bryan thought to himself as dinner was long forgotten.“Dad, you’ve had everything planned out for me and not once have I gone against you.”“So, why are we having this discussion
