The pounding of a ball going back and forth the cold metal walls, alerted me awake. I surveyed my surroundings noticing both the girls fast asleep, against me. And we were still behind the bars of the outside world. The window had a faint light coming through it, which meant it had to be morning or dawn by this time. I moved my hand slightly as I spotted who was making the commotion, Tiffany was bouncing a bouncy ball against the wall as it came back and forth from the wall. "Why do you do it?", I asked Tiffany, wanting an answer before her facade came back on. This is the rawest form I would ever see of her, her makeup was stained and her hair was fraying from its smooth locks. Everyone is their true self with no coffee and not a great night of sleep. She looked over at me as she kept bouncing the ball against the wall, our eyes locked and she looked back immediately. "What do you want me to say?", she asked, and I saw her eyes filled with tears as she looked over at me. "Anythi
We walked home sharing our stories of spending the night in jail. We arrived back at the cottage, as I felt someone pull me into the small room. "I missed you", he slammed his lips against him and I kissed him back. His hands wandered up my flowing sundress as he pushed me down on the bed. His lips wandered to my neck as he held me down against him. I moaned into the open air as I heard the steps of a clunking heel. "Nat, Nolan", Avery called as she opened the door and Nolan pushed me under the covers. "You animals, sex during the day time. My best friend shouldn't be having sex with my brother", Avery said as I slipped my dress over my bra and panties. "I met her first", Nolan said as he fixed his shirt and slipped his shoes back on. "Like that matters, anyways Alec knows this guy who owns a yacht and it's docked here, so we're going for the weekend", Avery announced as I quickly slipped on my flats. She left out the door and Nolan's lips crashed into
Nolan sat beneath me, as I shimmied against his lap. His slight whisper against my hair, distracted me from Avery freaking out."No lobster, what do you want me to serve steak?", Avery screamed into her phone as she quickly put it down and ran her hands through her mangled hair.The weekend had blown by, as we had all enjoyed our time on the boat, except probably the bride to be herself, she spent half of her time wandering around the deck trying to get some cell service.We also got some surprising news as the world kept going while we were on the boat. Daniel's trial starts on Wednesday, so close yet I've never felt more scared.We were finally back at home, but Avery's apartment was being cleared out which meant we now kept all the wedding stuff here, in our living room.Tiffany on the other hand, had left us alone all weekend as she was busy with the captain and Alec's friend. She stayed behind thankfully, she said she didn't want to come home and no one argued."There's no
The car firmly parked in the gray garage, and I felt the overwhelming feeling or urgency to read the letter.The rose colored envelope, sat calmly in my purse. Melody was sleeping in the back as I went to grab it. I had put off the letter the whole day, knowing it was of importance.His name was written out at the top of the letter and I shuddered, remembering him making me say it.It was a letter that would only hurt me more, as I traced over the neatly, pressed in words at the top of the address.I tucked it back in my bag, wishing I had never received it. Wishing he would've never written this to me.I couldn't tell the angel in the back seat, what he had done to me. She knew Daniel was, she knew he was the worst person she knew and hopefully the only one.I knew what he was, a monster at best. I knew the feeling of his words could still control me, the simple presence of his words in my mind could always have an effect on me. It would never stop, the nightmares, the pain, th
Dear my child,The bile began to raise even further, as I couldn't imagine him writing something like this. He always loved watching me fall for his phony tricks and just ending up getting played and disappointed in the end.Smart girl, I never got to tell you that after fighting back. I never got to tell you but you amazed me the most, out of everyone your mother, Melissa everyone.I barfed in my mouth as I didn't want to keep reading the letter and I wanted to be curled up in Nolan's arms. I wished he would read it.The reason why, is because you look at me like I'm a monster but we my dear are exactly the same.That's where he had it absolutely wrong, I would never be like him, never. He caused destruction, fear and panic throughout everyone know him.I never had the capacity to love someone enough and you got that from your old pop.He was right, as much as it cursed me. Nolan loved me, and I loved him but a part of me was always guarded up, al
The death of Daniel had sunken in around here, luckily no one had dropped lasagnas off or said "sorry he died" most people didn't know about my dad. But they knew we weren't very fond of each other.The newspapers and talk shows were profiting off the news, in such a way. After exiting work I had been bombarded with paparazzi asking me foolish questions, that I tried for it to not get to me.Daniel's lawyers had been over everyday considering we were the only beneficiaries. He had left us everything he owned, his homes, his money and his company.He had left Nolan his company, and he left Melody a trust fund that she could access by her 17th birthday, and he left me his homes and half of his money. He never shared his money, he was always so greedy yet now I finally had something to add to our bank account that could make a real difference in our balance, considering Nolan made my weekly salary every 10 minutes.I had no idea what to do with this newfound money. Except I knew I ne
His eyes were begging me to kick her out of our bathroom to continue where we left off, but I didn't have the guts to do it, she was so happy. And out of everyone, she deserved to be happy after so long."It's been great having you stay here, Ave, but please leave now", he said sternly and I shook my head fiercely at him."Fine I'll leave, but I'm taking Nat with me, bye dear old brother", she said, as she pulled me out of the room with her. She grabbed some random items from the closet and threw them at me, and she successfully dragged me out of the room. She pulled me to the guest room and stuck me in their with Tyler, who was just now waking up."Ave, I love you but please we don't have to listen to the song again I already love it", he said, not even opening his eyes to check his assumption."Sorry, not Avery", I said awkwardly and he opened his eyes and winced against the bright light. He sat up in bed and looked over."Sorry, it's just Avery has been o
"Today's the day", a voice from the middle of the bed spoke and I looked over at the time and the to be bride, who is supposed to be sleeping. It was three in the morning and she was still awake."Do I need to give you some melatonin?", I asked her, sleepily and she shook her head, trying not to wake Caroline."No I don't need melatonin, I don't need to be groggy for my wedding day", she told me and I nodded my head at her, sleepily."I think I need beer, or vodka", she said wandering out of the bed and I pulled her back."If you're worried about being groggy, you definitely don't want to be drunk", I held her back and she tucked herself back in bed."What's happening?", Caroline asked as she looked up at, Avery climbing back in bed."Ask Avery, who keeps having her so called 'mid-life crises'?", I teased, which received a slap on the arm from Avery."I can't sleep", Avery said what we were all thinking."Did you try melatonin?", Caroline aske
