KAHLAN AND JUSTIN Justin made his way through the back door and found himself in a long hallway in complete darkness. He slowly made his way down but then stopped when someone with a candle crossed just a few feet in front of him. He held his breath. He walked slower and quieter. He peeked around a sharp corner into a room where a woman and a man sat in complete silence. The room looked to be a living room. The fireplace needed to be rebuilt. The walls needed to be repainted, the ceiling repaired. The fireplace was in shambles, but the pair somehow found a way to keep a nice fire going. Justin went in the opposite direction of the two, ending up in the kitchen. Everything looked charred, as if the home was engulfed with flames. Justin was going to continue making his way around the main level, when the soft whimpers of a scared girl caught his attention. He followed the sounds. Hidden away in the corner of the kitchen was a door. When the door was opened, there was a soft glimmering l

SECRETS CHAPTER ONE:
~ASHLEY AND JUSTIN~ Justin Cross stared down at his unlit cancer stick in thought. He had been given a second chance at life and here he was, lighting up something he was told would one day kill him. It was a bad habit that he needed to kick someday, but today wouldn’t be that day. The sun had barely been up and the heat burned his light skin already. He squinted his hazel eyes towards the parking lot when he heard a car door slam to a shut. A skinny blond marched up to him, hips switching with every step. Ashley Lauder, his ex girlfriend, displayed anger and confusion. He looked away from her, already knowing what to expect. He took a puff of his cigarette before putting it out. Ashley hated the fact that he smoked. She was one of those people who warned him that it could one day claim his life. “Hey!” the blond shouted, as she got closer, “Don’t act like you don’t see me.” He could hear the attitude in her voice. “Ashley,” Justin spoke with a bit of a nod, giving her the ackn
SECRETS CHAPTER TWO
~DAMON AND BROOKE~The only thing Damon could do to keep his mind off Kahlan, and give her the space that she said she wanted was to drown himself in his work. Kahlan was supposed to have a hearing soon, to determine her state of mind. Damon thought it was somewhat pointless, considering the fact that Kahlan’s 18th birthday was vastly approaching. He stared down at the many papers he had covering the dining room table. Why did it seem like some of his files were missing? He would consider himself to be very organized, always keeping track of everything, but something was missing from here. He took a deep breath, and pushed the nagging feeling off to the side. He needed to present the judge with something to say that Kahlan was improving mentally. Well, she was, before the very large setback. Brooke, Damon’s young sister, came waltzing into the room, picking up one of the papers he had on display. Damon was quick to snatch it away. She stared at him. “What are you doing?” She asked, i
SECRETS CHAPTER THREE
~SANDINO AND BROOKE~ “Sandino, what are you doing here?” Brooke asked when she saw Sandino standing in the main doorway of her home. He dressed in light blue skinny jeans and a dark green T. He looked as if the world were weighing down on him. He usually called before he headed over. It was a surprise. Usually Brooke liked surprises, as long as they were good, but something in the pit of her stomach told her this wasn’t a friendly visit. Sandino smiled, before pulling open the screen door and entering the Meir House, not waiting to be invited in. “Hey,” the young man spoke, taking off his favorite green beanie. He seemed to always do that when something was on his mind and he wanted to talk. Brooke always found it to be a sign of respect. “I wanted to talk to you. Are you busy?” She stared at him a moment. There weren’t many things to talk about that would require him to be
SECRETS CHAPTER FOUR
~KAHLAN AND JUSTIN~“I can see how this can stimulate your mind,” Justin said, as he floated past me on his back. I was sure his baggy clothing would have soaked up so much water he wouldn’t stay afloat long. Not only that, but my eyes kept wandering over to his bandaged hand. I tried to see if he was in pain, but his face was relaxed, as if he didn’t have a care in the world. “It’s soothing and puts your body at ease.” “Just what you needed?” I asked. “Yes ma’am,” he answered. I had convinced myself that I didn’t want to talk to anyone, but as I sat here with Justin, it all seemed to change. It felt as if I could tell him anything. He had seen me at my worst; he had seen me at my best. If I believed that there was one person out there who understood me, I’d believe it would be Justin. Strange, before that night, he and I hardly spoke a word. It's funny how everything changed. “Do you know what I was thinking when I was in that basement and you were tied to that chair?” He was stil
SECRETS CHAPTER FIVE
~KAHLAN~Everyone was dying to know what happened. I was dying to forget. Every word spoken, every moment, every sound was in my mind, replaying, every night. I went to bed early, ready to face the nightmare once again. As I closed my eyes and drifted off, I remembered doing just that the night Ryan kidnapped me.I don’t know how, but I felt my eyes close. I think that I drifted off to sleep. I wouldn’t be able to tell you how long I was out, but the sound of groaning startled me awake. My eyes searched around the room quickly. I had momentarily forgotten where I was. In the corner of the room, I saw Justin’s body move. He was first hunched over and now he leaned back, his face staring up at the ceiling as he groaned in pain."Oh Justin, are you okay?" I cried. He looked at me, his
SECRETS CHAPTER SIX
~ASHLEY AND JUSTIN~ Justin walked slowly across the parking lot towards his grandparent’s townhome. His clothes were just about dry due to the slight wind the night had brought in, however it caused some chaffing from his jeans and he could feel his skin turning raw. He walked into his home, only to see Ashley sitting on the living room couch with his grandmother. Justin’s grandmother was a sweet woman, a little round with swollen ankles, and a big heart. She was the one woman Justin knew he would love for the rest of his life. Both women had their blue eyes on the television set, small feet propped up on the small wooden coffee table. They seemed to be enjoying a stand up comedy of some sort, short chuckles escaping their lips. “Ashley,” Justin said softly, as he closed the door. The dirty blonde looked at him, eyes lighting up. He ran up the creaky old stairs to his bedroom, not saying a word. Ashley excused herself before running right after him. “Geesh, you reek of chlorine

SECRETS CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED SEVENTEEN
~ELLA~ Ella rushed up to one of the cops on the scene. The waiting around was killing her. The cops had begun to clear out one part of the building. There was an automotive class-taking place, and their escape was out the garages of the North side of the building. Officers were planning on storming through there. That was the last that she had heard of their plans. There were two students hurt, but at least ten evacuated. That gave some hope. There were no fatalities. Ella wanted to help."I'm an off duty nurse," she stated, "I'm here to offer any assistance." The cop looked at her."Do you have your badge?" She pulled out her nursing badge and let the cop examine it. At least he was being thorough."Go on over to the par
SECRETS CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN
~JUSTIN, EMETT AND MYA~ Mya snuck the guys into one of the pool exits. It threw them off course just a bit to get the front office, but as long as they got inside, Justin didn’t care. He would find a way to Kahlan."How did you know this would be open?" Justin asked quietly. He wasn’t comfortable with Mya leading them. As men, they should be protecting her. She should be behind them."They cut the electricity off," she whispered back, "That means that the doors that were usually on manual locks, would open." Justin never paid attention to things like that, so he was glad that Mya did, otherwise, they may have still been outside, trying to find a way in, or they would have given up."How did you know there were
SECRETS CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FIFTEEN
~KAHLAN AND BROOKE~ "It’s been five minutes!" Brooke shouted at me as quiet as she could when I returned to her side. She had gotten loud as if she was angry, but she was scared. She was sweating bullets, her face looking as if she had gotten caught in the rain."I know, I'm sorry," I said, "Did anyone text back?" She shook her head. "Damn it." Brooke looked at me. She wanted so badly for me to have good news for her, but I didn’t."What are we going to do?" she asked as she placed a hand over her belly. I stared down at her stomach. It was more than out lives at stake, it was the life of this unborn child. I couldn't give her an answer; so instead, I looked around, trying to come up with our next move.
SECRETS CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED FOURTEEN
~AMY, CHAD AND JASON~Jason looked, asking himself the same question. What was his problem? The fact that his friend and girlfriend lied to him… yep, that was it."I don't have a problem," Jason answered softly."Well you sure do stomp around like you do," Chad said."I'm upset," Jason replied. "I don't know how I should feel, but I know I don't hate you. Most of me misses you guys, but there is still a part of me that can't get over the fact that you two lied. And when I think about it, I can see you guys in my head, and it just makes me sick to my stomach.""Let us help you get over it," Amy said getting to her feet, "trying to avoid us and staying mad at us obviously isn't helping." Jason looke
SECRETS CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED THIRTEEN
~JUSTIN~ Everyone got to their knees outside, at the sound of another gunshot. The group was pushed back further from the school as more people escaped. Now officers had arrived on the scene. They had begun pushing everyone back across the parking lot, closer to the street and the surrounding homes. Justin couldn’t just stand around and do nothing. He was not the type to feel powerless."I have to get in there," he demanded, pushing past Carly. He didn’t even get a few feet, before he was thrown to the ground. He landed on his left knee pretty hard, feeling the pain of the pavement. He looked up and saw Coach Myers on top of him."Where do you think your going boy?" the coach growled."I ha
SECRETS CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED TWELVE
~KAHLAN AND CARLY~“So you have a date tonight?” Carly asked as we made our way to the front of the school. I glanced over at her as we walked down the hall. I had to stop by my locker to drop off my textbooks. We agreed that to car pool for a while. It saved time and gas money.“Its not a date.” “Yeah, but you want it to be.” She grinned. I looked over at her. It seemed that Carly might have knew more than I did. Justin and I had discussed going out together. As far as I was concerned it was just as friends. Though I wasn’t sure exactly what we were doing. Justin just said it was a birthday surprise.“Its two friends hanging out.” I responded. She looked at me. &l
SECRETS CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED ELEVEN
~CARLY AND JUSTIN~Justin rushed through the crowds of teens pooling into the lunchroom. He was chasing one particular person down, and wanted to get to her before she reached their lunch table. He reached out and touched Carly’s shoulder, pulling her back.“Hey,” she said with a slight chuckle, his force a bit surprising. The last time she was grabbed like that, James was the one with the force. She was able to push the thought away from her mind rather quick. “What’s going on?” He seemed eager.“What do you think I should get Kahlan for her birthday?” That wasn’t a question she thought he’d ask.“Well, what do you think she wants?” She questioned, “besides you naked in a bow?”
SECRETS CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED TEN
~BROOKE AND SANDINO~ Brooke knocked on Sandino’s door. She had heard that he didn’t go to school, and figured now would be the best time to go over, since his mother would be at work. Dino opened the door, looking at her through the screen."What do you want?" he asked. She looked. So far, this was going better than expected. She didn’t even think that he would open the door, let alone speak to her."Just to talk.""I don’t want to talk. Not to you anyway.” He looked as if he had been sleeping the day away, hiding from the embarrassment that she caused."I don’t want you to hate me," she spoke out. Hate was a strong word, but if anyone was going to
SECRETS CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED NINE
~KAHLAN AND JUSTIN~ I stood at my locker, putting away my books when Justin walked up to me. I could feel his presence before I saw her. He stood behind me."Hey," he said. I turned around to look at him. We hadn't talked since what happened in my pool, and since I blurted all my thoughts and feelings at the lunch table. It seemed that our time had now come. I was ready to talk to him and it seemed that he was ready to talk to me."Hi," I said quietly."How are you?" he asked."I'm good," I answered, "You?""Not so much," He responded, putting his hands into his pockets. I looked at him. He did look a mess, as if he were losing sleep
