-I don't know what things you have in your head and knowing you as you are, most probably you must be thinking the worst of me -his face was very serious, it seemed that he was determined to make his last move, in reality even if he told me the things as such my decision could not change it, I already started a relationship with Nate and I never break my promises, so whatever Nick told me would not change at all -but the truth of it all is that...My cell phone started to vibrate, it was a call from mom, it was strange that she was calling me and even more at this hour.-Wait a moment -I moved away a little bit so she wouldn't hear the conversation.-Beth? -Mom's voice was sobbing -I need you to come home please.-What's wrong mom? -Since I heard her tone of voice I went into alarm mode -I can't hear you very well.-It's your father...-What about him? I put a hand to my chest, I felt something wrong, I started to breathe sharply, I hope it wasn't serious news.-He had an accident wit
-We'll prepare it right now," said the doctor, "We can't waste any more time," and he left down a corridor.-For God's sake, I don't know how to thank you, Nate," Mom came up to him, "Thank you so much, believe me, I'll owe you for this.-Don't worry, ma'am, that's nothing and if I have the opportunity to help someone I do it. Without any interest in return.-You're a good boy, Nate, you deserve a good woman.Nate saw me when mom said that.-And I think I got her.I looked down because I felt a little uncomfortable, besides Nate would give a large sum of money and I really didn't want to be in debt with him. Or with anyone.-Thank you very much indeed.-Nate, can we talk? -I approached him.-Sure.I signaled Mom that I was on my way back, took Nate down the hall because I needed to tell him a few things.-What's wrong?-Yes, why are you doing this? -I crossed my arms and faced him, "that's a lot of money, I couldn't pay you back even if I worked for five years. Maybe we should look fo
lexMy knuckles are starting to hurt a little, they bleed and make it clear that I have to stop. But I can't, the adrenaline in my body, the rage, makes me not want to do it. I put my hand out and hit the guy in front of me hard, causing him to fall on his back.“Lex, enough is enough. Trust me, Morbix learned his lesson from him.” I thought I heard Gary's voice, but I decide to ignore it. I crouch down and grab the guy by the collar of his shirt. His face is bruised and bloody."S-stop," he manages to say, almost pleading. I grab my hand again and raise it, determined to take another hit. Just to show him that no one plays with me, no one messes with me. Neither with me, nor with mine."Lex, please." You're going to kill him,” Wade says, behind me. I stop my fist in midair and decide whether to last hit or not. With people like him, I have no mercy."He doesn't deserve it," was what I said. The look of the guy in front of me was dark, tired. He had too dilated irises. He looked like
—Daniela!My mother's scream coming from downstairs made me… no, the truth is that the house is not two stories. I don't even know why I said that, I guess that's how some stories start, right? Well, what were we up to? Ah yes, the shout coming from my mother from the living room made me open my eyes immediately, wincing afterwards. It wasn't even a school day and she was yelling at... —I look at the bedside clock—...nine in the morning.—Daniiii! Ella, she yells again. She covered my face with the pillow and gasped. They don't let me rest.-I'm going! She answered before she can think of yelling again. I get up from my warm bed and put on my slippers. I see myself in the mirror, making a face of horror afterwards. Messy hair, dark circles and marks from sleeping so much. I make a loose bow and go out.I find my mother coming to my place."Can't you guess what happened?" She —she looks a little excited, I don't know. She carries some papers in her hands.-What happened? Her.” She cros
"Welcome to Hammond." My older sister Sara reads the huge sign on the road saying the name of this town. It was written in yellow letters and on a huge brown board. I rolled my eyes to myself and deigned to look out the window. There was fog in the forest, I was sure that when I got out of the car it would be cold. Here I did not feel because I was with the heating. "It's hard to leave everything overnight, Lev, but I'm sure we can do it. We are a team and we are looking for the best for both of us" my sister took care of me when I was ten and she was just 16. My parents had died in a car accident and it had been the worst year of all. I mean, I was little when all that happened but I managed to remember certain things. "I know, Sara." I rubbed my temple. She had said that she had been transferred to Hammond Hospital, my sister was a nurse, and until recently she had graduated. However, she had to go where they sent her. As we approached the town I managed to see the movies, I man
"Remember, don't open for anyone to knock on the door." Sara was ready in her nurse's uniform, she had spent all the time telling me the things not to do. I was sitting on the couch in my pajamas watching a program on television. It was night. "Don't worry," I said. "I'll be asleep in a little while." I am tired for today. "It's okay. Anyway, I'll call you in an hour. I also left you the hospital phone number on the kitchen table for anything.""Sara, I'll be fine. Go easy" I smiled to reassure her. She smiled back at me. "It's okay. I'm leaving"She left the house, leaving. I was grateful that Sara cared for me but sometimes I felt that she had a responsibility that did not belong to her. She had been my mother all this time: going to school meetings, participating in my promotions etc. I came out of my thoughts the moment the TV changed channels by itself. I frowned, took control, and switched it back to where it was. But this one was switched back to another channel. How weird.
"Levana, get up, you have school," heard a voice calling me from afar. It was a bit inaudible but the more time passed the clearer it became. "Levana, it's getting late." She stirred me harder. I grunted a little because I was dying of sleep and wanted to continue sleeping, but I lazily opened my eyes and saw my sister sitting on my bed. She was still wearing her uniform, she looked somewhat exhausted. "Sara," I said her name lazily. "It's time to get up, you have classes," she reminds me. I looked for the cell phone under my pillow and when I find it I see the time: 7:04 A.M. "You are coming?" I wanted to know, sitting back in bed. "Yeah, last night was interesting" she stands up "I made friends with most of the doctors and nurses. They are all kind. But some are a bit strange" She frowned. "Why you said so?" I rubbed my eyes. "There is a small group of doctors who are a bit serious. Anyway, I'll make breakfast and then I'll get some sleep. You can take the car today because i
"Those who turn in the work can go out," the teacher tells us. It had been quite an entertaining test. Most of the things I had seen in my other high school so it hadn't been that much of a problem for me. The first to come out was Logan Miller, then followed by his brothers. "You finished?" Natalia asked me, getting up. I only needed one question, but I did not know that question. "Yes." I stood up and took my bag. Natalia and I put the tests on the teacher's desk and went out. "At least I'll show you around," Natalia told me. "We can start with the cafeteria. Come." She took me by the arm and made me follow her. Natalia comes into confidence very quickly. "I don't have the class schedule, what class do we have after history?" I asked. When I got to the cafeteria, I noticed that there were several groups sitting at different tables. The cafeteria was large, it was surrounded by glass windows, you could see the forest at one end and the parking lot at the other end. "I think we
