FuckWhy does this keep on happening?"But Angel how did you-""I came to visit you, I heard about your accident?" Angel clings to Liam talking like Janice from Friends. Meanwhile, I was frozen in shock at the presence of my parents."Mom when did you?" I stuttered."We came like ten minutes ago," she said coming towards me, She hugs me tightly sniffing my hair"You smell so good darling, come greet your dad" I nod my head and walk towards dad, my steps hesitant. I thought I would be happy seeing them but I can't bring myself to feel happy. They left me for three months with no news or any word and they expect me to welcome them with my arms wide open?"Scarlet " dad greets me smiling slightly that didn't reach his eyes."Hi dad " I wave my hand and stood awkwardly next to him."I am sorry we couldn't come ea
"Scarlett " Jamie shrieks running away from me, I burst out laughing at her splashing the water, the sound of her screaming and shrieking echo through the night in the swimming pool. Jamie refused to swim saying she already showered but I refuse to let her have her way because she blames me here for coming here in the first place."Come in the water " I yell and duck my head under the water, my heart feels a little light as I stay under the water for another thirty minutes. I look around for Jamie but she's nowhere in sight.I step out of the pool covering myself with the towel, my teeth chattering from the coldness. I hurriedly put on my clothes and dry my hair with the towel and step inside that resembles a living room. I still can't believe Ashton lives alone in a place like a mansion, his house is too damn huge I need a map if I was to come again.I sauntered in what seems like to be the living room and heave in
Two years ago,The bus drove past the familiar street, the trees disappearing from our view. It's the first day of my 11th grade, Liam is in his senior year. I was beyond excited to come to school with my best friend aka my boyfriend. The summer is spent together with Liam playing or going dates. I am happy is an understatement, I have never felt this way for someone.When I was younger I firmly believe I won't fall in love, yet I fell for my best friend without me realising my feelings for him."Scarlet, don't be creepy," Liam says from beside me. I scoffed at his word, not at all fazed by his word."What did I do?""Stop smiling at the back of the seat, it gives me chills""Hah! Drama queen""Are you excited about the first day?" He asks me."Hmmm, what If I don't make any friends?" I was indee
"Dad I am not coming back home, yes hmm ""No, I can go to college from my place"Feeling frustrated Jamie sat down on the couch sighing. It seems her dad was asking her to come back home."Dad I am not alone, Scarlet is staying with me for the past few days""I can't hear you, what are you saying?" She says in the phone faking a bad connection."Phew" she breathes out closing her phone."Is your dad asking for you to come back?" I asked her."Yeah, he wants me to come back. I mean that's a big no " she says shaking her head vigorously."Why? Is because of your -? " I stop myself from seeing her face."Yeah, but I have fun living by myself" she explains."Hmm ""Scarlet what shall we do today? It's weekend and we deserve to enjoy" Jamie say
Two years ago,I debated on knocking the door or go back home, I stood outside the porch counting from 1 to 100. Liam was ignoring my call for some reason so I decided to take the matters in my hand.Liam parents never stayed home because they were busy most of the time. This is the first time Liam ignores me for one whole day, we have never talked since yesterday after I left alone for home. He was being an asshole ignoring all my messages. My message last night consists of threats and violence so I understand if he was more upset. He would have come running to meet me if it was another day but not today and that makes me so sad.I call his number thrice yet he never picks up, part of me was burning with rage but the bigger part is me is scared to death.I ran back towards his window and picks up four-five pebbles to throw.The first four pebbles don't even reach his w
My mom used to say learn to forgive others when I was young, yet I never try to. I considered forgiving a huge burden and I don't know how I am supposed to forgive someone that hurts you so much. It's exactly how I felt for Liam, he hurts me so deep yet why it is so hard to let him go?He is like my cocaine and rehab, I knew I have to give up but what's holding me back?Bring a naive girl I was I believe at least for a day, we would find ways to get back together but he proves that I was yet wrong again.Why is that every wrong direction is the only way I knew how to walk?My head hurts thinking of the evening to come, mom calls me up last night asking me to dine together at Liam home with my dad, I dismiss her invitation immediately wondering why she would suggest something so ridiculous. Mom was mad at first but she was being adamant, I wonder why I ever agree to go in the first place.
"Don't move " Jamie scolds me holding my face in place dabbing the cream on my face. when I told her about the dinner she forces me to say yes. Grey was teasing me about being a Coward for backing away from having dinner with my parents. They were also one of the reasons why I said yes to my mom.Grey exact words were 'spoilt brat declining her parent's invitation' I could have been angry if it was from another person but I knew he didn't mean any harm."Scarlet I am sure Liam will bow down in his knees when he sees you, " Jamie says opening the mascara. She grins widely catching my eye in the mirror.When she starts applying mascara in my eyelashes, she opens her mouth in 0 shapes making me chuckle at her face."What's wrong?" She asked me.I shake my head smearing the mascara in my face. For a moment I we stare shock at my face and later burst out in laugh holding our stomach with tears es
"Scarlet come back" Liam yells from his car, I smile sardonically in his direction and push the glass door in, my heels clicking in the tile floor.When Liam told me about my half-brother I was no more surprise, I knew there was a reason why mom invited me willingly. She wanted to drop another bomb. I could hear Liam footsteps echoing behind me. The interior of the restaurant is very fancy with lights like a chandelier in the middle. The place looks perfect for rich people dining with a rotten personality.My eyes met with my mom at the far end at one of the tables, she smiles at me widely waving me over. Angel sat with dad, mom with someone I have never met. I couldn't see his face clearly but it is enough to know he shares blood with Angel. I walk towards them with Liam trailing behind me.Just when I was about to take my seat, Liam holds my arms stopping me. I stare at him in confusion waiting for him to say something. " Please don't
BonusLiamI am fed up listening to Crystal talking to her girlfriend, I just want to go home but I am stuck with my work. Willow and Scarlet are at my place tonight and I fucking can't wait to see them.It's almost 8 and by now I know Willow will be falling asleep, my daughter is my angel and I can't lose her. Last night, I had the best night with Scarlet. The feel of her soft body under my body in paradise. I love her small moans and even the slightest thing she does._______________________When I step into my place, I am shocked to see all the lights turned off. Usually, when they are asleep, the living room is lighted b
EPILOGUEChapter 90“Happy birthday!” we all shouted in unison when Willow and Liam stepped into the living room. Willowed gasped and watched at the decoration in amazement. The living room is filled with balloons and the posture of her from since she was a baby.Jamie, Isha, Lee, Justin, my dad, Oliver, Angel and David sang happy birthday while Liam helped her with cutting the cake. She's jumping up and down wearing her Rapunzel m gown, she looked like a real princess who is very very naughty. As a surprise, I bought her the cycle she wanted me to buy and Liam bought her puppy which she is yet to find out.“Sing a song, birthday g
Chapter 89“Does this look okay?” I asked, Jamie showing her the strapless black dress I bought two months ago. She is about to fall asleep sitting in my bed. Jamie is five months pregnant; she's the cutest pregnant woman I ever come across with.“Oh My God! I think my baby is pinching my stomach” she grimaces in pain, I laugh at her way of the word she is using.“Your baby is fine, Jamie. He doesn't want his mom to suffer by pinching your wombs” after thinking for a minute, she nods her head and tries to doze off again until I throw the newspaper in her head.
Chapter 88RecapHe cupped my cheek and slammed his lips on mine when all I could do was close my eyes and kiss it back feverishly. Our lips move sensually like they have a brain of its own. Liam continued to tug me closer and kissed me deeply until his phone rang and broke us apart.My lips tingle and I bite my lip, a small smile playing on my lips. It's been so long we last kissed and it somehow left me excited. Liam beside us hadn't said anything after that kiss and was driving towards his place staring ahead without blinking. Me, being the creepy lady, stared at his profile and his pink lips that taste so delicious and also the lips
Chapter 87The morning hues and the coldness of the winter season in the morning is one of the most beautiful views along with the most satisfying sensation, the freezing dewdrops in your skin gives you the cold and fresh feeling. I wish there was winter all year round.It's been three months since Grey's departure and also the beginning of the winter season.Willow turns five in a week and I can't help but wonder how time flies. She's the best daughter in the whole wide world, not only she gave me happiness; I felt complete with my daughter.
Chapter 86It's Monday morning and I still can't get over the fact that Grey left today. Willow hasn't known about Grey's departure and I don't know what I would say if she asked me. I just hope she won't ask me.As for Liam, he hasn't contacted me after he hung up on me.My cell phone lays on the table with only notification from the company or Jamie sending multiple texts asking to go shopping tomorrow which I gladly declined but that girl is adamant.“Mommy, Why isn't Daddy coming to visit us?” Willow strolled into my room with a pout. I motion
Chapter 85She gave me love, and I gave her pain. I still remember the days she held me in her arms begging me not to leave her and I didRegret is sin, but I am drowning in regret, She looked lifeless when I left her that day, those eyes were haunting me for months, I couldn't understand why a man had to hurt a woman and I am a man that hurt my girl. Protecting her was my ambition, and I was the one who gave up on her. I don't deserve love, If she ever forgives me, She's the purest Gem.This is the third time I read over the word, again and again, it's official I'm a fan of this author. Jamie is a babe for gifting me
Chapter 84“Why did he do that?” I whined while taking a sip of another juice pretending to be an alcoholic. Jamie being a good friend kept me a companion while I was whining the whole time about Liam.“Come on, you can't be that mad at him, he's doing the best for you believe it or not” I glared her way not believing a single thing.“But he should have asked me first” I took another sip of grape juice and felt a little heavy with all those liquids I drank.“Stop drinking, You are making me worry” I ignored her whining and checked my phone to see
Chapter 83I thought I was doing for the best but apparently Liam thinks the other, he ignored every of my messages and calls and now I am left with Whining Willow.“Mommy, Why is daddy not picking up!? He doesn't love me anymore?” She's been asking me those questions for the past half hour. I tried to cheer her up as much as I could but She's not listening to me. She's truly my baby. Stubborn as a bull!“Baby, Come on eat those '' she pouts and sat in her seat clutching my phone to her chest.“Daddy is busy, baby, he'll call you after his w
