Joan’s pov

I was expecting the worst out of my decision because Jones kept staring at me while we ate. Till I was done, I feared I would wake up to a blood bath, so I chose to do the unimaginable, which was putting myself before anyone, just like mom had said.

My body was fidgeting when I went back to my room. I didn’t sleep at night, and every little noise seemed like a threat. I was petrified and too certain that the calmness was uncanny. I didn't sleep all night until the next morning, when everything was bright and beautiful.

So I chose to do some checking on my family, but they were alright. I heard mom singing in her bathroom, and Fred was just mowing the lawn outside. Everything seemed well, and it looked too bizarre. I wasn’t used to so much peace, not after exposing electricity to water.

I expected everyone to be fidgeting with fright, like I was, but no one was running, so for a moment I felt I was safe, until Jones walked down from the room, our eyes locked, and immediately

    Joan’s pov“Go out with him, girl; you are hot on campus; Max is so hot! I wish Fred would ask me out,” Maisy said, clapping her hands as she jumped up and down. She wouldn’t stop talking about how she found Fred attractive, and it disgusted me, but I held down my disgust with a smiling face."So you are going out with him tonight, right?” She asked. Daisy held my hair, sharing in my eye, “You must not turn him down, Bonita. Papi is looking fire; they don’t make them that way anymore," she said in her Mexican ascent, which made me laugh.I remembered what Fred said about him; maybe what he said was from a position of utter jealousy, and at that point I really wished he would just leave me alone so I could try other things, but he wouldn't. He had been buzzing my phone nonstop about how Max was not a good dude and I should stay away from guys for now. He constantly used Isaac as a starting point.‘Remember the last time you chose a man for yourself; don’t do this to yourself anymore.I

    Joan’s POVThe sadness lingered till the next day, and I called mom, but it went straight to voicemail. I didn’t want to ask Jone how she was doing; I just needed to hear from her. It was an hours-long flight back home, and I needed to be in school the next day, so I couldn’t just schedule a flight.The next day, classes would officially resume, and I wasn’t excited. I didn’t want to stand from my bed, not after being miserable for the whole day. My joy had died, and I just wanted to liberate this heavy feeling in my heart.I wasn’t a fan of alcohol, but it was the only thing that came to mind. I just wanted to get drunk. Maybe I would forget some miserable part of my life, which seemed to flourish in my thoughts today. With Maisy and Daisy doing their little pep talk, I walked out of the house with a coat in search of a reputable bar in Boston, and from the google map, a bar was just a few miles away from here, so I did as I desired.“Give me any of your toughest drinks''I said to th

    Joan’s POV“I love you,” I said. If I were drunk, I would have tagged my words as an effect of liquor or being overly sad from a hangover that I just wanted to say something, but I haven’t felt any more alive and free than I did. Just saying that word was the first time telling him boldly about this weird feeling that makes me think of him every day.I expected him to move away or, worse, push me off, but he pulled me in with a warm smile on his face, his bulky hands wrapped around me, and he kissed me.“I love you so much," he said, kissing my bare neck. Shivers coursed through me, and a feeling so tender eluded my heart as he looked back at me while holding me at arms length. My cheeks reddened to blush, followed by the nausea.“We have an hour before the first lectures; I can’t have you going late,” he said, pulling me closer. He unbuttoned my clothes till I was fully naked, then lit me up, placing me in the bath. I was smitten by the care and tenderness, making me feel meek, while

    Joan’s POVWhat if he was keeping me away from mom? What if she was not okay and he didn’t want to tell me? My mind journeyed far and wide for something—just a trace of abnormality—but I had nothing, and soon, the sermon came to an end.“I will follow you to class; meet me any slight break you have,” he said. Still holding my hands, he led me through the crowd. My weary eyes glided through the fleet of murmuring students, all heading through various passages to the lecture halls.It was as though we were competing for the gates of heaven, with people pushing each other; their civilization died when the order was given to move into various classes. Fred made way for me with his hands and firm tone; ladies didn’t need much to keep Scott away from the premises as they were smitten by him.Soon enough, we were now at the front of the crowd with him pulling me from behind, and he led me to my class.“Whatever happens, tell me I will try putting Max at bay.

    Fredericks POVI wasn’t expecting Sophia in school, but she was like a leach and had her arms wrapped around my neck. With Joan beside me, my heart weighed a tonne. I didn’t know how to react to her presence, and my newly found cause of happiness was suspended.I had wanted to share the greatest news with Joan, but not until Sophia came. She didn’t tell me she was coming; otherwise, I would have avoided the charade. I had hoped she wouldn’t be much of a pest now that she couldn’t just drive all the way to me, but I guess I was wrong.“Why aren’t you smiling? I tracked you down here, and you chose to frown instead. You should be surprised, not sad.” Holding me at arm's length, she pulled me close and kissed me. My heart skipped a beat. At that instant, I knew Joan would be pissed. I wasn’t given the opportunity to look at her, and I dreaded the expression on her face already. She was going to chew me up and spit me out any time she saw me.“You don’t look too cheerful to see me; you ne

    Joan’s POV“I knew it!"Sophia’s voice burst right through the room; the clicking light of her phone cameras had captured so much of this moment before Fred covered me up with the duvet.Butt naked, he kneeled before me, so she didn't take any more pictures, but Sophia didn’t stop; she kept on taking pictures till Free covered himself up.“I knew you had something to do with this bitch!” She climbed on the bed, ready to bounce on me, but I ran to the other side of the bed in fear of what she was going to do to me. She looked like she could eat me whole if I wasn’t being careful, which I wasn’t, but I located my underwear close to where I stood and wore it immediately while Fred kept her from devouring me.I didn’t like seeing her this way; I hated this situation. I hated that I caused her pain, and it made me teary and embarrassed. I took off my clothes, wore them, and ran out of the room before she could get me.I could tell the receptionist was the one who had allowed her inside and

"Fred,” I called to gain access to my fingers, and then he woke up. A sad smile played on his lips as he looked at me.“You were so stressed out; the doctor said it’s as a result of shock, and your blood pressure is high too,” he said, then kissed my knuckles. From his chin down, I saw the mark of Sophia's palm on his face, and it brought back memories.“What are we going to do now?" I asked.“I haven’t heard a single threat from her, so we might be cool to some point, but I can't trust her silence. I know her too well to know she doesn’t stay quiet, so she’s definitely plotting something; we just have to know what it is so we can avoid it."With that being said, the doctor came in, and I was given some medications.

    Joan’s POV“You can take a look now,” the makeup artist said, turning the drafting chair so I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I was left speechless, and she placed the veil on my head, making my heart jitter.It looked so beautiful. I looked this beautiful, and it was a surprise to me at my wedding that I wouldn’t see my reflection till the final touch, just staring at the final touch.“Do you like it?” She said, patting my cheek with a makeup brush.“It’s perfect"“Well, I hope the groom is more shocked than you because you look stunned," she said, and with a fine touch, she kissed my forehead.It was my wedding day, and I had been up since 5 a.m., but it was worth it; the look was perfect.Few hours from now, Fred and I would be arriving in the church to exchange our vows before the reception, and even after so much planning, I still felt a knot in my belly, my heart pounding and my hands itching to be held by him.I imagined what he would look like and what his reaction woul

    TWO YEARS LATERJoan’s POVThe weather seemed so cold today. I stretched my hands to feel his body, but it's nowhere to be found—not even close enough after rolling to the edge of the bed.“Baby,” I whispered, yet nothing at all"Babe, where are you?"Yet it was all so quiet. I waited a little; maybe he went to the bathroom. Looking at the side of the bed, it’s just 6 a.m. in the morning, so he either went for a run or would be back soon, so I waited, but it clocked nine and I was still on the bed.It’s a Saturday, and not just like every Saturday, it’s my birthday. I had expected him to wake me up with kisses and maybe good morning sex, but no, he chose to go out instead. I felt so disappointed in him.Picking up my phone I called him, but his phone was ringing, and he wasn’t answering. Fred was a sucker for his smartphone; he only slept two inches away from it every night, so I could swear that he saw my calls and heard all my endless voice messages, and he chose to ignore them.It

George, who had just been shot in the arm, said he was bleeding on the floor and had now been carried away by the paramedics.Then I stared back at this embarrassment of a father. He held a smug look on his face as she stared deadpan at me.“You don’t have what it takes to pull the trigger; you think having balls like a man makes you any stronger; no, it doesn't; do your worst; you are just like me anyway.""Never; I am nothing like you; I never will be." I yelled, forbidding whatever he said. I had fought too much to remove that thought from my mind. I didn’t waste money on so much therapy just so he could look me in the eye and call me a replica.I was nothing like my father—nothing at all.“Fight it all

    Joan’s POVAfter mom's surgery, we were to go home and probably come to pay her regular visit, but that wasn’t the only good thing that had happened.Fred and I left the hospital and went back home, just to hear West crying. It was concerning, given the fact that Lisa should be consoling him, but he was banging on the door and crying bitterly when Fred and I pulled up at the house.“Hey baby, I am coming,” I said, rising towards the door and hitting on it so Lisa would open the door. I hoped she didn’t vent her anger on the little child who did absolutely nothing to cause her this much misery, but it seemed she wasn’t going to open the door, so Fred called her, endlessly hoping she would open the door but still doing the same thing.“Did she lock us out for good? You gave her the house, didn’t you?”“Yes, but is it not too quick to throw us out? I mean, I have things in there too." We started off by calling her name and banging on it even more. But it's still the same thing.“Move asi

I wasn’t prepared to stand; I just wanted to survive the day while doing absolutely nothing.But it was mom's surgery; she needed me there.

Get your head straight for once in your life, would you?"“Is mom okay? Where is she? What happened to my mother?" I yelled, pulling his collar. If anything were to happen to mom, I wouldn’t survive past today, and I made him know that with the way I reacted.“She’s fine, just a little seizure, and the surgery commences tomorrow, so we have to be there tomorrow unfailingly in the morning, and here you are, blaming me for taking time to see our mother; you are just, ahh, what will I do with you?”“Don’t talk to me like that; how would I have known?" I whined, feeling the pain of guilt down my chest; the liquor I had taken quenched, and my little uproar of courage died. I found myself wanting to cry again, but my eyes were tired, and if they had a mind of their own, I bet they would purge out of the socket. I had cried way too much today, b
