Jason The screw on the champagne bottle made a plop, and then the champagne opened, leaving Terence's hand completely covered in foam. “Hurray! That's it, man,” he cheered as he began to pour the drinks into our glasses. “Splendid,” I commented with a giggle. "Wonderful! Just don't drink a lo
Jason Do you believe that this time things will work out between you two?” Terence asked. “Because, to be honest, my biggest fear is that you’ll come into your house again and suddenly ask for a divorce and leave everyone with their mouths open and their heads blown.” He made comical gestures as h
Suzy “Hey, you have a visitor today,” the prison guard said when she arrived at my cell. I was in the corner of the bunk, playing with my hair, trying to ignore the annoying voices of my cellmates, those annoying bitches. I hated them, she was disgusting and couldn't leave me alone. Not only that,
Jason His evil laugh on the other end of the line irritated me. “Jason, Jason, Jason. After everything we've experienced together, do you treat me this way? Why do you want to marry her, my dear Jason? You told me it's me you love and not her. Have you forgotten that?” She teased. “Stop the nons
Jason I didn't wait any longer to hear what that unpleasant woman had to say, I just turned off the cell phone and ran out of the room where I was, in a hurry to check if what she was saying was really true. “Jason? What is going on? Why such a rush?” Terence asked me, but I didn't even have tim
Jason I was trying to call Laura, but she wasn't answering my call. All of this started to make me panic, and Kendall's words started to resonate in my head. “I’m with her…”Trembling with fear, I returned the call to the number Kendall used to call me, she didn't take long to answer. “So, have you
Jason Suddenly, the door to the room opened, and it was Annie running towards me with a worried look on her face. “Is it true that Mom is missing, Dad? Where is she?” She sought to know, being terribly scared, with her eyes shining with excitement. I looked up to see Ava walking into the room hol
Jason “It's okay, Kendall. I'll send you this money, just send me the account number, and I'll send it to you today,” I told her, receiving an approving nod from Jake. But Kendall, on the other end of the line, was laughing at me like I was an idiot. “And do you really think I’m going to accept e
“I really wish I didn't care, just like you don't care,” I said. “Are my grades at school terrible? Fuck them; I don't care. Who cares about social life or social issues? I want everyone to explode. I'm going to continue here in my room playing my shooting and death games until I feel accomplished.
Jake Gardner “Please tell me. Is he really out of danger?” My wife asked on the other end of the line. “Yes, he is,” I replied. “The bullet hit his shoulder. He’s going to be fine.” I heard her sighing on the other end of the line. "Thank God. I'm going to call Amber to let her know; she's so wo
Annie It was my parents there trying to get closer to me. My heart almost came out of my mouth, and I almost melted with relief and also anguish. “Dad… Mom,” I stammered, my eyes filling with tears. But Peter was quick; he put his arm around my shoulder, pulling me to his chest, and placed the bar
Laura Jason was driving the car while talking to me about something random. “Terry is coming home this Christmas,” he was saying. “He has done an incredible job at the Pretoria branch, but he misses his family.” It had been a few months since Terence had moved to South Africa for work; he was one
Warning: sensitive content Annie “Are you ready?” Peter asked me as he and I were about to storm the Mexican diner down the street. He and I had spent hours talking about it, and no matter how much I told him not to do that and go back home, he said he would only come back after I granted him that
Laura I woke up with a start when I woke up, suddenly remembering where I was and what I was doing. “Wake up, Jason…” I called him, while running my hand over my face. He was sleeping next to me and woke up too. “Hmm, what's wrong? Did something happen?” He asked, looking at me with a sleepy fa
Annie “I thought you were the only one who understood me. So now you can’t blame me for being attracted to the monster that I am.” Peter's words weighed on me. When I found out about his secret, it was as if the world around me woke up in its most naked and raw colors; it was as if I now realized
Annie “I can't believe it; it's not true. Peter would tell me something like that if it were true,” I said in denial, my voice breaking. The surrounding town took its course as I stood there at the payphone with the phone to my ear. Peter's psychologist had just told me something that was shaking a
Annie I was staring at the white ceiling of that hotel room as I lay on my back on the bed, the annoying noise of the fan disturbing my thoughts. I was bored. Peter had left a few hours ago, saying he needed to take care of something important, so I was left alone in that hotel room. I had already
