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
Caroline and back at me."Sweetie I think you're pregnant", she said and it finally became clear."I can't be, I puked this morning", I said and when I repeated my words it dawned on me."OH MY GOD I PUKED THIS MORNING", I screamed and I could see the joy marked on everyone's faces. It became suddenly clear, my ankles were the size of watermelons, along with my tender breasts which had also grown and I smelt everything so distinctively and I had been puking."What are you waiting for?", Avery asked as Caroline and her stood by the door. I stood up from my chair and I followed them out the door."What if I am?", I looked at them as we impatiently waited for the elevator to work faster.Most of our friends knew about my miscarriage, my issues with getting pregnant and I could tell everyone would be happy, but what about if I lose the baby or if something happens."Let's not worry, okay", Caroline calmed me as she directed me in the backseat. She came
His wandering eyes made me nervous, as I stood right next to the spot for the bride to be, and as Leah traipsed down the aisle throwing her flowers, and the music started playing everyone rose in their seats.The in tune melody reminded me of my own wedding, the second one. It was the happiest day of my life, and I couldn't have felt more special.It was just me and him,like it's always been. And here I was back, with my sister, and a baby on the way. Well a baby, no one knew about. The music as it advanced and the large doors opened and I saw Avery walking through the doors. She was beautiful, as Alison and Clay held her opposite arms. I could tell it was obvious that Alison and Clay, were trying to hold back their tears.Her smile was radiant, and I looked to my left, and I saw Tyler holding back his own tears. It was a monumental moment, as the world shifted and all eyes were on them.She walked graciously, with a smile beaded on her face. As she reached the a
Clay and Alison intervened, sweeping in to dance with Tyler and Avery. Tyler was always so reserved about himself but he spoke mountains of feelings about Avery. Tyler recently had told me about his parents, and he explained the story of how Nolan wondered whose grave I would lay by. He understood it more than anyone ever could, because it was something he went through everyday.Soon all the couples were invited on to the floor and Nolan extended his hand with a sweet smile. I grabbed his hand and he guided me to the floor. His hand slipped to the small of my back and I leaned into his comforting embrace."Somethings different", he said hinting at me and I felt his breath against my ear.I hummed to the song as he asked me what was different. And my mind wandered to what was different, the little hopeful bundle of joy, our bundle of joy in my stomach."Weddings, they're just beautiful, makes me think back to ours", I spoke softly in his ear and he smiled softly.
