Getting Revenge Who Killed Doris (C)
What happened to Aunt Lucy’s ex-husband? Afterall, it was really his fault I got into a coma. If he didn’t try to hurt my family, I wouldn’t have gotten in the way and ended up bashing my head in the fountain. If anything, he didn’t deserve to be around anyone until he learns to control his anger issues.“What are you thinking about?”“My Aunt’s ex-husband. I was wondering what happened to him.”“Oh! He’s rich so he only got about three months in jail. Plus, your Aunt had to plead for his sake. He may have been a bad Dad, but your cousins couldn’t bear to see him in jail.” I nodded silently. Of course, I could understand. Even as I know Frank was a bad Stepdad to me and an equally bad husband to my Mom, I wouldn’t want him to remain in jail after I just found out he’s James’ real Dad. Does he deserve it? Yeah! But he didn’t murder my mom and he was nice to James

He was sweating and wore running shoes and he just stood there observing Jason and I. I waved him over; half-expecting him to refuse and go into the house, but he came over. His mind too was blank, but I expected that because I know we can’t read each other’s mind because of our psychic abilities. Or at least I hoped that’s the case.“Why are you in a wheelchair? I told you to heal your legs.” I frowned. It’s not like he gave me a manual on psychic abilities.“I can’t. I tried to focus on my legs to know if…”“Just heal them and stop acting all pitiful.” What’s his problem?!“Take it easy on her, she…”“She can do it; she’s just being lazy and wants everything handed over to her.” Antonio said as he cut Jason off.“My bet is that you didn’t even bother to check up on Abigail and see how badly she’s hurt. You s

“Oh my God!” She said slowly as she put the little girl down. “Claire? You’re really awake?” She came over to me immediately, hugging me, looking at me; observing everything.“You’re awake and you’re up?” She turned to Reggie and back to me. “Shouldn’t you be in bed? Are you really okay?” I could very well tell she was surprised and excited and she just couldn’t get enough of me.“I’m okay, Emma. I’m so happy to see you.” She laughed amid tears, finally hugging me.“I’m more than happy to see your pretty eyes open again; and your smile.” We were just laughing and crying when suddenly Shelby shrieked.“Aww, shoot!” Emma exclaimed as she moved away from me to pick Shelby up and console her.“Why is she suddenly crying?” I asked.“Because her mama is crying.” Reggie replied before Emma could

Whoever was on the phone answered.“Matt…” Abigail said breathlessly with a huge smile. “You won’t believe it; I just saw Doris.” A pause. “Yes!” She said with her smile getting bigger. “Of course, she ran away from me, but if you could get Nick over here fast, he can find her before she packs up and go somewhere else.” Another pause. She hung up.“Finally.” She muttered under her breath as she dialed another number. “Beatriz, I’m heading over to the airport now.” A short pause. “No, leave them cancelled. I know I’m coming back early but I’m not coming back to work, something came up.” An even shorter pause. “Yeah. I’m letting you know so you’ll have a car waiting for me.” She hung up and flagged down a cab.The next thing I could see, she got to a hotel to change into a gown, befitting her status. Then she grabbed her suitca

Claire"James!" I shrieked in my head. James was kidnapped? By who? He's just a little kid, who would want to kidnap him?There's no way I was going to lose my brother too, not after losing everything else."Who took James?!" I snapped at Reggie. She was the one who took him to the park, she was responsible for him. How could she let someone kidnap him under her watch?"I'm really sorry..." She apologized, shaking. I know it must be hard on her and I know how dearly she loved James but the fact remains that he was kidnapped by God-knows-who and there's no way anyone would know what or why they took him."Sorry doesn't cut it Reggie! Where is my brother?!" I screamed at her, making her start a new round of crying and shaking."It's not Reggie's fault." Dad said calmly. He was massaging the sides of his head."She took him out to the park, she was responsible for him.""Yes, but there's no way she would have guessed that he would

The visions cleared.“Are you okay?” I turned to Jason sharply.“I just saw what happened. A woman kidnapped James. She’s been watching them and when Emma and Reggie went to get cotton candy for Shelby, she grabbed James.”“Whoa, calm down. Come with me.” I let Jason take me to a nearby bench where we sat together.“Did you see her face?”“No, she shielded it with a hoodie.” I was silent for a moment. “Jason, I fear she’s the same person that murdered my Mom.” He took my hands and held them tight.“Can you find James with your abilities? If Antonio said they couldn’t find you because you blocked them out, then you should be able to find James, right? I know he would want by all means to get away from the kidnapper.” That’s easier said than done. I wanted nothing more than to find James but if I couldn’t control the stupid so-call

We ate our meal, chatting about everything and nothing; It was nice to just forget my problems and relax. I knew that was what Jason was after and I couldn’t help but appreciate him more. I can’t begin to imagine life without him and I’m not just saying that because I have a crush on him, being without Jason would definitely throw my life off balance. I guess you can say he makes me feel whole.Is that how Dad feels about Abigail? Either that or something way stronger. Like soulmates!“You ready?” I nodded and he took my hand again while we left the restaurant. Either Jason is naive or he’s just very good at pretending, there’s no way he doesn’t notice that holding hands and going to restaurants makes us look like a couple. Coming from a girl who got all her romantic ideas from novels. Either way, I was loving the appearance; besides, Jason could leave for school at any moment.“How long will you be here?&rdq

“I didn’t mean to.” I burst into tears, reaching over to hug him tight. He hugged me back. “I’m really sorry for being a brat, I wish I can everything I said back.”“It’s okay, my child, It’s fine.”“It’s not!” I drew back. “I have to make it right, I have to bring Abigail back.”“Claire...”“I can find her, please just let me try.” He shrugged.“I’ve called everyone, no one knows where she is. Antonio said he’s tried but she’s just gone.” He exhaled and pinched the tip of his nose. “This feels like when I couldn’t find you and your mom anymore. I’m worried about Abigail, she hasn’t done this before and she’s been in a pretty bad shape since you got into a coma. She told me... she told me she’ll give up on our love if you ask her to, as long as you’re awake and heal
Getting Revenge I Love You Now
I was standing in the parking lot, away from the couple I was staring at. Jason... He was holding a brunette's hand... and that hand had a diamond ring on its ring finger.He was freaking engaged?!My heart pounded deeply in my chest. I was too late? But... he was my soulmate, right? Wrong. Probably the same time I stopped believing in soulmates was the same time he seized being mine.He was smiling so fondly at the brunette and I couldn't see her face but I knew she had a big smile as well. "You have no right to be sad... You have no right to be sad..." I kept muttering to myself, over and over again as I worked up the courage to leave there."I don't believe it! It's Claire Wagner!" I stilled when I heard a lady shriek. Other students stopped to stare at me and a few began making their way towards me.I diverted my eyes back to Jason, he and his brunette were staring at me, he looked confused.I turned around and bolted for my car, driving out of the campus. Some crazy fans ran af

"Hey single lady, come home." I kept staring at my phone. What the actual hell? That jerk has been ignoring me for the past two years and just a few minutes after my boyfriend broke up with me, he sends a text?!I was furious and sad and relieved... God! I just wanted to hug my cousin so badly!Judy's call came in before I could reply to Antonio's text; she had been my personal assistant since I moved to Paris. Emma couldn't come with me because she wanted to be a full time Mom to Shelby and she did say she was getting married in a month to a guy she met.I didn't try getting close to Judy though, she just wasn't as free with me like Emma used to be, she just wanted our relationship to be professional and I didn't mind at all.Of course she wouldn't be calling if she knew I was on a date with Archie, but I didn't tell her and she probably thinks I've disappeared.I picked up."Hey, Judy.""Hello. Where are you?" See that? She's so uptight."I was originally on a date with Archie but I

"There's my girl!" Archie cheered, hugging me and kissing me firmly on my lips. "I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the award show but I'm proud of you nevertheless." I moved aside to let him into my apartment and he went straight for the glass plaque I had left earlier on the breakfast table."It looks great. Breakout Star, Claire Wagner." Yup! That's me. The newest eighteen year old who has been working her ass off for the past two years, juggling three careers as a model, actress and my all time favourite, a photographer.It hasn't been easy and I can't stress how many times my parents have told me to take a break and come home just to relax, but I've been stubborn like always. Working keeps my mind away from depressing stuff like worrying about Jason who I haven't seen in the last two years and he doesn't even have a social media account, I mean, who doesn't have a social media account?And even Antonio! That dumb jerk gave a stupid excuse and avoided attending my parents wedding, he'
Getting Revenge I Dos and Good-byes
"Will you be my maid of honour?" I was staring back at Mom, waiting for her to say she's just kidding but she was really waiting for my answer."Me?!" I was surprised. "Are you sure? What about Alice?" I said, gesturing to the other woman who sat next to me on the lounge."I'm married and even if I'm not, you should be her maid of honour." Alice replied before Mom could."Yes, Claire, I want you to be my maid of honour. I can't think of anyone better than you." I was flattered, but of course I wouldn't be if I had seen it before now, but my wacky abilities have deserted me for a while now; even after an entire week after I woke up, I still can't tell the future."Yes!" I said excitedly and Mom hugged me immediately, sighing in relief."Thank you. You know what? This calls for a celebration. How about all three of us hang out together? Like a girls' day out. We could go to the spa, get makeovers, manis-pedis, new hairdos...""Okay that sounds like a mother-daughter outing and I already
Getting Revenge Dads
"Are you insane?!" Antonio half-yelled at me. I pretended not to hear him as I ate my birthday cake. After Archie was done with his call, he told everyone we were dating and though my parents weren't so thrilled about it, everyone was cool with it."You can't go from being in love with Jason to being Archie's girlfriend.""I can and that's what I'm doing." I said nonchalantly."Claire, you can't do that.""Why? Archie likes me to bits and I think he's totally lovable, hence, we're dating. And don't forget we already told our parents and they are okay with it.""Your Dad wasn't okay with it, he knows you should be with Jason, he's just being nice.""Which I expect you to be too. Archie is a great guy and Jason is far from my reach anyway. To be honest, I don't think I would have any feelings for Jason if not for that soul mate bullshit.""Bullshit?! Is this why you shut me out? Because you're harbouring crazy thoughts like this?" Antonio was pissed, I knew that but I wasn't going to le
Getting Revenge Dealing With It!
"That went well." I stilled when I heard Antonio's voice behind me. What was he doing in my room? "Did you forget I can tell the immediate future? I knew the surprise would be ruined and you'd lock yourself up here." Oh, well.I sank to the floor and just hugged my legs. "You're sad, I get it. But look on the bright side...""There's not bright side here, Antonio. I love him yet I told him to get lost. Who does that?!" I hugged my legs tighter. Antonio came over and sat next to me."I don't know what to tell you, all I see is you spending the next two years missing Jason while you figure your life out." Two years?!"It's going to take that long?""You can't see your future?""I can't see anything, my abilities are messy right now. I can only tell the present and read someone's mind.""I see. That's probably because you haven't healed completely from the accident." I sighed."That's not important to me. I'm going to spend a full two years without Jason? Will we ever get back together?

"Claire?! Wait!" I didn't listen to Jason, I kept walking until I got to the car. He caught up to me."What happened? Are you okay?""I want to go home. Can you take me home?" I avoided his eyes."Yes, but what really happened? Did my mom say something...?""Just forget it. Like I said, I'm tired." He exhaled and unlocked the car. We both got in.I didn't say anything while he took me home, I could very well feel his eyes on me, but I kept my eyes away from him all the time."Look, I'm sorry about my Mom, I'm definitely sure she said something to you. She can be a little uppity sometimes but..." Oh, he got that one right."Don't apologize, she didn't do anything wrong.""Oh, okay." We were quiet for a few minutes more. I knew what Antonio expected me to do, break it up with Jason; and the easiest way to do that is when he thinks I don't remember him. I didn't want to, I really didn't want to but Jason has a lot planned out for himself and I'm just a roller coaster of drama and danger,

"Claire?!" I turned away from Jason to Aunt Miriam.Uncle Mark's family was all the distraction I needed to get my mind off Jason... and his lips. Well, at least for the meantime.Kevin was an adorable kid, he looked every bit like Aunt Miriam and Jane tried acting a bit mature to impress me, but she was still the cute little girl I know. Of course they were glad to have me, especially Tyler, it wasn't even as if I've been in a coma for years, they acted like I've only been gone for a week.Uncle Mark was happy Renee got what she deserved but he didn't know about my abilities, none of them did and I wondered why Dad didn't say anything. There are family after all."You ready to go? Mom's expecting us now." Jason whispered to me. I was playing dress-up with Jane and Aunt Miriam."Yeah." I apologized to Jane and Aunt Miriam, I had to promise to return before they let me go and I was back in the car with Jason."So, you said your Mom lives with her dogs, right?""Yeah.""Did she explain
Getting Revenge Silvia Bernal and the Birthday (A)
It's my birthday? I pulled away to check my phone, it was really the second day of April. I'm sixteen!I crushed Antonio in another tighter hug, excited."I'm sixteen!""You sound like you've waited a long time for that, even after you skipped two whole years." I ignored Antonio's teasing and got off the floor."I'm happy because I finally remember Jason and now that I'm sixteen, my Dad won't mind me dating some..." A knock on the door interrupted me."Uhm, Claire? Can we talk?" It was Jason. I made for the door but Antonio blocked my path. Great! They still had a beef."It's not about that, trust me." Antonio said in a whisper. "You've regained your memories, I have no reason to stay mad at him, it wasn't even his fault to begin with. I'm stopping you because you can't tell Jason you remember him. Pretend you don't remember him, I have a reason." That's crazy! I just hurt his feelings out there and two weeks ago, I was about to tell him how I feel about him, why do I have to stop now
