SECRETS CHAPTER SIXTY TWO
~KAHLAN~Lucky me, I made it to my first period class just in time; feeling happier than ever. It was like I had just started feeling like my old self again. I missed my old life. Having Emett and Terry with me felt as if I was regaining who I was. It was funny because now I knew what was going to happen throughout the day, or maybe all at once; the flooding of the questions. Who was that at the footballgame? How do you know him? I was prepared and I was going to answer each question honestly. I had nothing to hide from them, not when it came to Emett and Terry. I couldn’t be ashamed of them; they were a part of my real life. They were a part of who I was before everything went bad. My first three periods went by so fast and the next thing I knew, lunch was rolling around and the cafeteria filled up quickly. I was the last one to sit at the crowded lunch table. I didn’t want to say a word if I didn’t have to, so instead, I sat there listening to others conversations going. Brandon,
SECRETS CHAPTER SIXTY THREE
~CHAD AND MYA~Chad pulled into a parking spot at the beach and turned the car off. He had told his friends that he would be late because he had to pick up his date. They all assumed it was Mya. Chad had raced over to her house, ready to pull out all the stops if she refused to come. When he knocked on her front door, she still showed annoyance on her face and questioned why he wouldn’t leave heralone. Chad actually had an answer for her, but he wasn’t going to tell her until she took a chance on him, trusted him, and left with him. She had looked as if she was still going to deny his invitation out, but she didn’t.Now here they were, staring down at the beach, seeing their friends lost in the fun. Chad looked over at Mya, who had her hair up in a messy bun and sunglasses hiding her eyes. She appeared to b
SECRETS CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR
~THE CASTLES~Emett woke up and expected to hear the sizzling of bacon, or even the smell, but he heard nothing. He looked over at the clock seeing that it was 7:43am. By this time he would hear Kahlan slaving away in the kitchen, preparing a large unnecessary breakfast. The thought was nice, and he wasn’t complaining about the food. Kahlan was a great cook almost as if she had been doing it all her life. He got up and went downstairs to see Terry in the kitchen, making a sandwich. The man was half dressed which told him Kahlan Mercer wasn’t home.“Where’s Kahlan?” Emett asked. Usually the brunette would be tossing whatever she could into her mouth, as she rushed out the door to school.“I don’t know,” Terry replied. “I mean, I heard her leave last night, and she never cam

~KAHLAN AND DAMON~I stood outside Damon’s Meir’s apartment door. I licked my lips, tossed a lock of hair over my shoulder and put a smile on my face as I knocked on the door. It was quiet. I knocked once again. Then I heard the clicking of the door locks and the door was opened. Not as wide as I expected, but just enough for Damon to poke his head out. I stared at him, still smiling.“What are you doing here?” Damon asked. It wasn’t a question that I was expecting for him to ask. My smile was gone.“I told you I would come by after school,” I responded. He furrowed his brows. Don’t tell me he forgot.“Did I?”“What’s going on Damon? Are you busy or som
SECRETS CHAPTER SIXTY SIX
~THE GROUP~“So is this party just for us or for the whole school?” Mya asked, sitting beside Chad. She wasn’t big on parties but the new guy in her life and all of his friends were; she wanted to fit in. Her question was directed to Kahlan. She was the one offering up her house for a night of partying.“I really don’t care,” I answered, “As long as my house doesn’t get destroyed.” For a short time there, I hated having so many people in my house, participating in things that teens would do, knowing it was illegal. It was a night of consumption. Whatever you consume could change how you act when you are surrounded by a group of people. No matter if it were alcohol, drugs, sex, for one night, it could change you. You could be that person that makes bad decisions, bringing the crowd down, causing drama where there usually isn&rsquo
SECRETS CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN
~THE CASTLES~Emett looked at the prices for the food platters, comparing the different prices and food offered. He stared. Terry came up beside him, with all of the paper and plastic items in his hands, carefully tossing them into the silver cart. They both stared down at the food, when Terry decided it was time to state the obvious.“Kahlan was trying to get rid of us, wasn’t she?”“Oh yea,” Emett said with a crazy nod, eyes still on the items he had before him.“I thought so.” The guys smiled. Kahlan had changed in many ways, but every so often they would see a glimpse of the old her and it would warm their hearts. The girl they knew was still there.~THE HANCOCKS~
SECRETS CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHT
~EMETT AND ASHLEY~Emett and Ashley found themselves enjoying each other’s company off to the side of the pool, comfortable in a couple of beach chairs that they found. They both sipped on beer, talking about Ashley’s love for dance. It was good conversation, but there was something that Emett wanted to clarify with theblonde. After all, he was on a mission.“So why do I get the feeling you don’t like Kahlan?” he questioned. Ashley stared at him, wondering what gave it away. It wasn’t hard though. She and Kahlan barely spoke. She wasn’t sure if she should be honest with Emett, considering the relationship he seemed to have with Kahlan. She propped her legs up on the beach chair, crossing them at the ankles as she lay back. She blinked.
SECRETS CHAPTER SIXTY NINE
~KAHLAN AND EMETT~There was a light knock on my bedroom door. I looked up to see Emett. I sat on the edge of my bed with my head in my hands. I was remembering things I tried so hard to forget. They were taking over my mind because I once found myself in this same situation. I shook my head as if that was going to shake thememories loose, as if they would fall out, but all I was doing was making myself sick to my stomach. Emett knocked again, and for a moment, everything stopped. I looked up at him. He smiled.“So, this is where you’re hiding.” I looked around. I hadn’t even realized that I had climbed the steps to my bedroom.“I had a little too much to drink,” I slurred. He stumbled over to me, taking a seat beside me on the bed.

~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

~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

~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
