They walk out of the building took a few minutes because of how huge the building is. I wonder if Jake knows what happened. I don't think he does, he didn't sound curious when we spoke earlier on the phone. I spotted Jake's car, parked along with other cars. Reaching it, I opened the back door and placed Anne inside. Before going over to the passenger's sit. Keep a smiley face, he doesn't have to know what happened. He's going to find out either way. Two voices argued in my head. I'm such a burden to Jake. I need to start fighting for myself and stop leaning on Jake. "Thanks for coming," I said to Jake. After sitting down. He started the car. "You're always welcome." He replied. Normally, I would have smiled, but the situation right now is so overwhelming. I just want to cry. "You don't look okay," Jake said. I looked down, fumbling with my fingers. Tears were threatening to fall down. "Hey, are you okay?" "No, I'm not okay!" I snapped. I have no idea why but I felt like the only

~ I spent three days in and out of the hospital. I went home thrice to prepare food for Anne. She woke up the second day and the doctor said I could take her home on the third day. No, we're at home. My joy knew no bounds. "Are you crying?" Anne asked. "What? No, no, I'm not. My eyes are just watery." I lied. She nodded her head and continued eating her food. Seeing her back home makes me so happy. I don't know what I would have done if I had loosed her. She finished eating. I took her to her room, and we slept together. ~ It was in the afternoon, and -- Anne and I were watching a movie. I was glad, we've been living in peace, not a perfect life but in peace. I heard a click from the backyard. It was sharp and loud. Who could be there? It was definitely not my neighbour. Recently, I've not been comfortable in this house, like someone was watching me. I was expecting someone later, Loren. She'd asked how was Anne and she'd be coming over to see how she is. After the help I've bee

"What am I going to do now?" I cried when Gwyneth told me all my things were burnt in the fire. "Where am I going to go from here? What'd I tell the landlord? he'd probably make me pay for his properties." I winced. It seems like life itself hates me, I've been through hell since the day I was born. Never a day have I been in peace, well, I was for some time. I curled myself on the bed. My body ached, and my head ached. I've been crying for the past hour, and no matter how I tried to keep myself from crying, I couldn't stop myself. The situation was overwhelming. "Tessa, will you just stop crying? You've been like that for the past one hour and about the house. A solution will surely come up later, come, you've to take a bath." She said grabbing my hand and trying to pull me out of the bed. She successfully pulled me out of the bed to the bathroom, instructed me what to do and told me there'd be a cloth waiting on the bed for me. I managed to whisper a thank you. She walked out. I

Well, neither do I. "I don't know.." "You don't know? You know, you really have to do something about this, if you let her get away she might do something much worst sooner or later, remember, you've got a child." She was absolutely right. A huge part of me wanted to get her back, wanted revenge. But what can I do? She's rich, powerful, obviously, there's nothing I could do. "I know, but what can I do?" I asked. She sighed. Her phone dinged. "Jake is here." She said. She stood up and went away. She came back a minute later with Jake trailing behind her. I looked down. Unable to look at him, I was ashamed. "No case was charged. The landlord demands his property money." Jake said. Normally, he'd first ask how I was. For some reason, I don't like this Jake. Yeah, he seems like a different man. Not in terms of looks, but character. Something tells me he's mad. "Oh, how much did he demand?" Gwyneth asked. "54,000 dollars." He said. My eyes widened. 54,000 dollars? Where am I going to

If looks could kill, I'd have been ten feet under right now. "Well, I get you're worried for Anne but I never asked for you to be worried about me, if you're here to see Anne, why not come back some other time?" I asked. He looked taken aback by my tone. Probably because he's never heard me speak this way before. "Tessa.." "Are you going to go or not?" "See baby? This is why I asked you to take custody of the little girl.." Sara whispered, but it wasn't low enough. She's been telling him that? Did she even think he could take custody of Anne? What fantasy do they live in? Anne wasn't asleep but I felt some possessiveness towards her. I don't want her to grow attached to someone like him. "Guess what, Tessa, my husband and I have decided to take custody of your daughter, Isn't that great news?" Sara said. I reached closer to her, how dare she say that to my face? I slapped her. She screamed jumping back like someone had poured boiling water on her body. Speaking of water... "How

A lot of thoughts were going through my mind. Did I have the heart to use him for revenge? That’d mean hurting him. Why was I even scared of hurting him? he has always used every chance he has got to hurt me. But doing that would be so heartless. Thinking deeply about it discouraged me. I shouldn’t be thinking of something like this. There are lots of other ways I could have revenge... Well, not lots, but there might be a way apart from this. There must be a way. No! There isn't! This is the only way! There is, actually. Two voices argued in my head. “What do you want here?” I asked immediately as we parted. My voice was meaner than intended. He looked taken aback by my sudden tone. I shouldn’t have hugged him back. I hated how my body reacted when he was close to me. I wish I have full control of my body. I once did, but suddenly I didn’t. “I heard what happened,” he said after a minute of remaining quiet. “I got so worried,” he said. My jaw dropped for a quick second before I

“Truth or Dare?” Dave asked... “Uh...” If I go with a dare, they might ask me to do something I didn’t want to do, I mean... That’s what dare is all about right? “I’d go with the truth..” “The person you have feelings for... Is he in our midst?” He asked. I choked. I looked at all of them. It was like their eyes were penetrating me... Especially Austin’s. “Uh..” “You choose truth so you have to say the truth,” Jake said. “Yeah, you did,” Loren said with an evil glint in her eyes which looked scary as hell. It was like her eyes were penetrating my soul. I gulped. “I.. I..” ~ End of the dream, lol ~ I jerked off the bed when I heard a loud storm. It was just a dream... Only a dream... Okay, that’s it. I’m not going back to sleep again. ~ I walked out of the room. I really need to take a walk, clear my head and think straight. “Finally, you’ve gotten out. I thought you strangled yourself in there.” Gwyneth said dramatically. “Uh. Sorry, I was uh..” “It’s okay, I guessed you

I glared at him. I wished nothing but for my glare to kill him right now. He was a nightmare! Why did Gwyneth have to go out? Now of all time? I didn't want to speak with him. Not after those dreams, I had of him last night. My brain tells me to run far away from this man, his appearance screamed nothing but danger. His smell was intoxicating, attractive and seductive. "What do you mean, we weren't talking about anything," I said. "That's why I came, to talk." He said. Even his voice was seductive or it was just my brain making these up. "W-what do you want to talk about - - I mean, I have nothing to talk about with you," I said quickly. "Are you and Jake together or were you guys dating?" He asked. I choked releasing the door. That was the last question I expected. How did we get to this subject again? "W-what? No, no. We're not.." "Do you like him?" He asked. I looked at him unbelievably. Why was he asking these questions? It doesn't seem like a question a person like him woul
