“You are going to display fireworks for my win,” She smiled brightly, throwing her hands up in the air, can’t she get any louder? Kayden shook his head, with the understanding that she was drunk at the moment. A loud bang in the distance, suddenly there was chaos, and the atmosphere changed, the projectiles ricocheting one after the other, and colorful lights filled the black sky of the night. Crystal raised her hands dramatically, like a child, in an attempt to feel the debris of the fireworks. Kayden felt a sudden vibration from the pocket of his coat, he slipped his left hand into it and fumbled for the phone, he glanced at the caller ID, it was Doctor Miguel and immediately he knew he needed to answer the call in private. “Crystal, Crystal,” he called out softly but crystal only turned within a split seconds and continued gazing at the beautiful lit sky because she was so engrossed with the fireworks display making her not to pay attention to what was happening around her. “I w
Just as Kayden said, someone was coming for them, but he didn’t mention he was asking a helicopter to pick them up, and instead of an eight-hour journey, it only took them an hour and thirty minutes to get them to the hospital. Crystal couldn’t be any more grateful than she already is now, during the journey Kayden didn’t stop holding her hands, to show his support and concern. It was very surprising… “Doctor Miguel,” Kayden called as they approached the averagely old man who was discussing with a female assistant, The man glanced at them and his face softened immediately as he walked up to them. “Kayden, I apologize for calling you so suddenly, but I had no other way to reach Mrs. Smith.” He apologized as he extended his hands for a handshake, which Kayden took immediately. “You called the right person; you need not worry.” He withdrew his hand and slipped it back into his pocket. “Is everything okay? Is my mother okay? Can I see her?” Crystal asked a little bit impatient, and th
Birds were singing outside the window, and even though Crystal was a bit distant in her sleep, she could hear them. She turned to her other side, sunlight flashed on her face and she shut her eyes even tighter. A small but sharp pain builds in her head, and she whimpers softly.“Are you awake?” She heard Kayden’s voice and her eyes fluttered open immediately; he was sitting on the edge of her bed and he was dressed in his pajamas, his blond hair casually tousled over his eyes and his bedroom eyes stared down at her with no emotion in them.“K-K-Kayden,” she stuttered as she sat up abruptly, She winced slightly because it was a bad idea, getting up so suddenly when she had signs of a migraine. “Why are you here?”“You don’t remember?” He asked and almost immediately the door opened and Petra came in, holding a tray in hand, her weary eyes fell on Crystal and she smiled.“Good morning, Mrs. Smith.” She said as she hurriedly walked to her side, she laid the tray on the small table an
“Crystal come down from there!” Cassandra yelled, she woke up so early in the morning just to find Crystal standing on paper boxes, staring outside the window. “It’s dangerous.” Cassandra pulled her sister down with enough carefulness, and they both fell to the ground, Crystal landing on her sister.“You could fall from there, these are paper boxes, they can’t hold your weight.” Cassandra was still engrossed in her explanation when she noticed tears in her sister’s eyes. “What is it? Why are you crying?”“I think Dad is going on a business trip again.” She squeaked wiping her eyes, Cassandra got up and peeped out of the window, standing on the paper boxes that Crystal once stood on, there was a van outside and they were moving a lot of things. Their parents didn’t say anything about moving out of this place, because they were moving most of the major kinds of stuff. The carton was carved in and Cassandra fell hitting her back on the wooden floor.“Are you okay?” Crystal squeaked as
“I’m glad to see, you two are doing so well,” Randy said with an unsure look on his face, his eyes fleeting side by side. “It is quite disturbing how you were able to get my contact number, have you been stalking me?”“No, we won’t do something like that,” Cassandra answered instead and Crystal reached for the small tea cup in front of her. “Especially to some like you.”Randy cleared his throat and adjusted himself in his seat, he took his teacup and sipped from it as well. “I don’t have much time, tell me why you wanted to see me, I have to return home to my family.” He glanced at his wristwatch, it was an hour after his closing time, and his wife must be so worried now.“How can you shamelessly sit in front of your adult daughters and brag about your family?” Crystal asked with a plain look on her face.“Daughters he abandoned.” Cassandra corrected; disappointment gleamed in their eyes.“So, now what do you want?” Randy asked with a small shrug. “Do you want revenge for what happen
It has been weeks since Cabin Dante, Crystal’s mother died, it has taken quite a toll on her, sometimes she finds it hard to believe that her mother is no more. Sometimes, she would pray that her mother gets better without even realizing that she has no one to wait for anymore. It was more painful than she imagined, she felt empty and without objective, she wanted to live in the previous days, the days when she was still younger. It wasn’t quite hard to wake up from that dream, and open her eyes to her current nightmare.“What are you thinking about?” Paige asked, as she sat down on the next chair to her, she noticed that Crystal had been looking out the window for a while now and she wasn’t concentrating with work. Her eyes pried into the tablet and she noticed that she wasn’t working on any of her designs, the drawing seemed to be that of a person and a familiar one too.“Mother,” Crystal confessed, as she raised her hands tiredly to continue to finish up the art. “I have been tryin
“Why is he angry?” she asked herself as she unpacked her bags, Kayden left the room slamming the door with a loud thud, he said it was a vacation to relax but he didn’t look relaxed even in the slightest. “That’s none of my business.” Her phone beeped and she glanced at it, it was a message from Paige, and she smiled. “Did you arrive already?” with some heart emojis “Yes, we did,” she replied immediately. “I just saw Mr. Smith coming out, where are you?” She sighed. “I am in the room, I am so tired, and I would like to get some sleep.” “Alright then.” “Call me when you wake up.” “Okie.” She finished unpacking her bags and she headed straight to the bathroom to take her shower, Kayden got angry and left, why did he tell her to go on a date with Sebastian? Isn’t that considered cheating? She wouldn’t mind if he asked her on a date instead, a small smile touched her lips. “What the hell am I thinking?” she whispered to herself but it didn’t stop her from chuckling at her si
“What do you want?” she asked him as soon as she got to the pool area, she made sure to not meet his eyes, she was still embarrassed from earlier. “I would like you to hurry up because I would like to go have some sleep.”“Are you trying to get some sleep or you are drawing something perverted again?” He teased and she frowned, she was about to say something when Paige rushed towards her.“Crystal,” she said as she beamed a smile. “I thought you wouldn’t come.”And in an instant, they pulled her along towards the poolside, Kayden stopped what he was doing and somehow, he found himself watching her, his eyes following her every movement, even though the rest of the ladies were in the pool playing with water and were swimming, Crystal went to the other end of the pool and sat at the edge of the pool and she soaked her feet in the water, she seemed very uninterested in whatever was going on, for her to sit so far from the others, she also wasn't interested in swimming.Just for the sake
