Silently Falling 36-Random
Ryker didn't come to class today and I kept thinking about what Laurel told me. She said I should be careful, but of who? Of Cassie? I haven't even seen Cassie in a while and I honestly don't want to see her. Cassie was trouble, I have been trying to stay out of trouble and I wanted things to stay that way."Shea, can you come over here for a second." Seth said as he peeped out of his office into the kitchen where I was currently chatting with the new chef, Brooks. Brooks was a nice man and he was very good at his job. There hasn't been much for me to do lately since he does everything, but I tried my best to assist him.I wiped my hands with a napkin and went into Seth's office. He was already standing behind his desk when I got there."Is there something you want me to do?" I asked him, afraid that he would have noticed I barely did anything in the kitchen and had decided that my time at the café was over."Yes, Shea. You see, Stacey has some issues and won't be able to come to work
Silently Falling 37-Mother nature
“Shea, I like you.”“And I’ll kiss you until you say yes.”“Yes to what?” I asked him after finding my voice.“Say yes to a date with me, I would like you to go out with me.” He said as he reached for my hands, a genuine smile was plastered on his face, but I sat facing him, looking totally shocked.The rain had stopped by now. This was so unfair. Mother nature was totally in support of Ryker. How could the rain start exactly when we came out of the café? I had no choice than to follow Ryker to his car for shelter, and then it stopped now he has trapped me with a question.“Umm-” I gulped, my mind was unable to process this quickly, it was like I was connected to the slowest wi-fi. I looked down as he drew circles on my hands, if only he knew how that little action was making my whole inside flip upside down. Ryker liked me and he just asked me out on a date! It was almost unbelievable. “Is that a yes or a no?” he tilted his head at me, a small smile playing on his lips, it was almos

“I need to go to the library, I want to work on some assignments before going home.” Jasmine said as we walked out of our last class for today. As usual, the professor gave us loads of assignments.“I’ll go with you. I need to work on them too.” I told her as we both headed towards the library. School work has been hectic so far but I have been trying my best to keep up. We got to the library and started to work on the assignments. I needed a textbook so I could answer the question I was working on, so I told Jasmine that I would be right back.I stood up and headed for the section where the textbook I needed was. I let my hair down then repacked it firmly before I checked through some books. After a while, I eventually found the one I was looking for, but it was way above my height. As I reached out my hand to pick the book, someone pressed me against the bookshelf and grabbed the book.I turned around immediately and that was when I recognized the person. It was Ryker. A sense of D
Silently Falling 39-Three musketeers
*Third person POV*Jasmine closed her book as soon as Shea left the library for work. She brought out her phone and sent a text to someone. She packed her belongings and left the library, but as she got to the hallway that was filled with people, she recognized a particular person, Laurel. Her breath hitched in her throat and she was unable to move. She had been trying her best to avoid Laurel until she came to her class to speak with Shea. She had been dying to know what they talked about that day. She knew it would seem suspicious if asked Shea so, she just kept quiet.Their eyes met. Laurel smiled and made her way towards Jasmine. As Jasmine noticed that Laurel was moving towards her, she turned to the opposite direction and quickened her pace, she was so determined to shake Laurel off. She looked back to see if Laurel was still following her, but she collided with someone in the crowded corridor, her bag fell and her books scattered on the floor.“Hey, watch where you are going.”

I inserted the keys into the keyhole but then I noticed that it wasn’t locked. I knocked on the door and waited for Sam to open it.“Oh! I’m glad you’re back.” Sam said as she opened the door and pulled me inside the room in a swift manner.“Woah! What is going on here?” I asked her when I saw some clothes spread on the bed.“So, I’ve been searching for a perfect dress for your date, Roomie.” Sam said excitedly. It was like she was the one going on a date.“Isn’t like too early. The date is on Saturday, there is no need to rush things.” I told her as I started to peel off my clothes.“The earlier the better. Now, I love this dress so much. I found it in your closet and I think you should wear it for the date. I’m sure it would look great on you.” Sam said as she picked up a strapless red dress from her bed and showed it to me.I bought the dress when I was shopping for prom in high school. I had never worn it before because I knew my parents would not allow me to wear that type of clo
Silently Falling 41-Trapped
41I opened the door to my apartment and walked inside with Bruno after our morning jog. I gave Bruno some water and also chugged down a whole bottle of water and threw the empty bottle into the trash can.I took off my sweaty shirt and walked towards Bruno. He tilted his head and stared at me suspiciously."Yeah, that's right. It's time for your bath." I said to him as I wiggled my brows at him. Bruno started to move backwards, groaning in protest. He always hated his bath days and I loved it. Why? Because Bruno always frustrated me. He ate some of my clothes that I left on the floor and always disorganized the sitting room. His bath days are the only time I could get my revenge on him. He hated bathing while I hated dirty dogs."Come over here." I said to him, but he didn't move an inch. He just stood there with his tail down, he obviously wasn't happy, but that doesn't mean I wasn't going to give him a nice, long bath. I moved closer to him and carried him even though he struggled
Silently Falling 42-Damsel in distress
It was Friday evening already, and my date with Ryker was tomorrow. I was already freaking out but Sam had been trying her best to make me calm down. I wondered where Ryker would take me. A restaurant? A club house? The mountains? Or maybe an amusement park? To be honest, I didn't want to go to any of the places I had mentioned for my first date. I had always wanted my first date to be memorable and special like the ones in movies.I had not seen him during the week but we text most times. He always had a way of making me smile when I saw his texts. "Sam, do you think I should get my hair done? I could take a break from work tomorrow." I said to Sam as I stared at myself in the mirror."No, Shea! You don't have to take any break. You are only going on a date, not to the hospital to deliver a baby. Why would you need a break?" Sam said as she stared at me."But I think I need to get my hair done.""All you need is just a little washing and no messy bun." "I do wash my hair and messy
Silently Falling 43-Breakout
I let out a loud yawn as I opened my eyes in the morning. My bladder was so full and felt like it was about to burst. I rushed to the bathroom to ease myself. After relieving my bladder. I washed my face because it felt so dry, then I dried it with a towel. But it still felt dey, so I took a look at myself in the mirror.I froze. Oh my God!"Holy mother fucking shit!" I cursed.My mouth opened on its own accord and let out a scream. In less than a minute, Sam stumbled towards the bathroom."What happened?" She asked, her voice was rough and her eyes were red and laced with sleep, but then the sleep in her eyes disappeared and her face was struck with horror. She took a step closer to me, her face paled and she looked like she had seen a ghost."Shea, shit!" She said as she placed her hand on her head.I turned to look at the mirror once again to confirm what I had seen earlier. My face... My whole face was covered with tiny red dots. I had pimples breakout due to the face products I u

I closed the door quietly so I wouldn't wake Sam, who was still sleeping inside. I made my way down the stairs and sighted the cab that I had ordered. I got in and gave the driver my location.I rested my back on the seat and sighed as I shut my eyes. It's been twelve days since Dylan and I had that talk and I had been seriously thinking about it because I didn't want to regret my actions.With Ryker's connection and all, Cassie got arrested. Olivia and Jasmine too, since they were accomplices. I was called to the station to give a statement of what happened. I didn't want to go at first but Sam and Dylan convinced me to go.Jasmine and Olivia had been released on bail but Cassie's case was more deeper than that. I knew her parents wouldn't allow her to go to prison. She even lied that I fell into the pool myself but the CCTV footage showed otherwise.Jasmine also came to apologize to me, I had forgiven her but it didn't mean we were going to continue being friends. I don't need frien

"Where are you taking me?" I asked when he guided me through the dance floor and started walking towards the entrance of the clubhouse. My vision was still blurry and I was still drunk."Somewhere I can talk to you." He answered. "But I don't wanna talk to you, remember?" I told him "I'm not going with you, Sam is still inside." I tried to free myself from his grip."She can go home by herself. I'm not letting you go until I talk to you." "And you think I'm just gonna follow you and listen to whatever you wanna say. I'm not Bruno. I don't wanna listen to anything you have to say. You are just going to lie to me again." I said. We were already outside the club house and I saw that his car was parked on the other side of the road.Ryker opened the door for me and made me enter the car. Then he buckled me up before shutting the door and walking to the other side of the car.He entered the car and started to drive. He took off his cap and mask and that was when I saw that Dylan did a re

The clubhouse was crowded as usual, loud music, sweaty bodies and people making out in dark corners. Sam and I made our way through the crowd and found a spot to sit in front of the bar, drinks weren’t free today. I guess someone paid for all the drinks the last time we came here. I had a shot of tequila but Sam didn’t drink anything, she said she was going to watch over me so I could drink as much as I liked.“Hey, let’s dance.” I told her as I pulled her to the dance floor, the alcohol was starting to kick in. I swung my body to the beat while Sam did the same.“Shea?” I heard someone call my name, I looked back and saw that it was Felix. Why the heck did he call me? Did Ryker send him to beg me?“Hey.” I said nonchalantly and continued to dance.“Look, Ryker didn’t mean what he did, he already called off the bet when he realized how he feels about you.” He shouted over the music.“Do you mind? I don’t wanna talk about that.” I said as I rolled my eyes at him.“Back off!” Sam said a
Silently Falling 77-True friends
As I stepped into the bathtub filled with warm water, I sat down and let the water soothe my skin, I closed my eyes so I could relax but then it suddenly felt like I couldn't breathe, like something was blocking my nose, like I was drowning. The memory of myself, struggling in the pool flashed through my mind. It was traumatizing.I opened my eyes and gasped for breath. I got down from the bathtub. I couldn't do it. Cassie had scarred me for life, I would never be able to have baths again, or even learn how to swim.I grabbed a towel, wrapped it around myself and walked out of the bathroom. I went straight to my closet and grabbed a shirt and shorts to wear."Shea, you didn't stay long in the bathroom this time." I heard Sam say. I turned to her and saw that she looked excited. She was excited that I didn't stay long and cry in the bathroom this time. If she knew what happened to me there, she wouldn't smile like that.But I smiled at her and covered my fears up. "Yeah." I said as I w
Silently Falling 76-Soap opera
“Holy shit! I can’t believe it.” Sam exclaimed as sat on my bed and rubbed my back. I had told her everything I encountered in school today and she regretted telling me to go out with Ryker.“I was just a bet, a stupid bet.” I sniffed. I wanted to cry but the tears wouldn’t come out no matter how hard I squeezed my eyes. I guessed I had emptied my tear sac. I was tired, physically, emotionally and mentally tired.“And- and Jasmine, I don’t blame you for hating her. She was just a snitch for her psycho sister.” I said in a low voice.“I never liked that bitch. I knew there was something shady going on around her. And we should throw those people in jail.” Sam said as she rose from the bed and stood in front of me. I liked how she was taking this more seriously than I was.“I’ve actually thought about that on the way here. But Laurel told me her dad could easily bail her out, so it would be a waste of time.” I told her. Laurel also said that she had a huge fight with Cassie because of J
Silently Falling 75-Ruined
Ryker’s POVShit!I had been screwed by Cassie. She told Shea about the bet before I had the chance to tell her myself. I never wanted to hurt Shea. I just wanted to give her more time to heal from what she was going through. I had plans to take her out on another date, to tell her how much I loved and cherished her and then eventually tell her about the bet. But Cassie ruined everything.I ran out of the pool area to go after Shea, but she was already getting into a car. I knew it was Laurel’s car.I didn’t know what to do. Should I go after Laurel’s car so I could talk to Shea? Or should I give her some time? I honestly don’t know which is better.I slowly walked back to my car and got in. I hit my hands on the steering wheel multiple times and yelled my lungs out.“Fuck!” I yelled again. I groaned as pain soothed through my hands, but it was nothing compared to the pain Shea was going through right now. She called me a monster. She was right, I was a monster. I should have never ag
Silently Falling 74-Busted
*Third person POV*Jasmine took out her phone as she ran out of the pool side. Her heart thrummed fast in her chest and her fingers trembled as she dialed Laurel’s number and placed the phone close to her ear.“Hey, baby girl.” Laurel’s voice rang through the phone.“Laurel, Cassie is going to do something terrible to Shea, I shouldn’t have led her there. I should have just ignored Cassie’s texts.” Jasmine ranted to Laurel.“Wait, slow down. What did you do to Shea?” Laurel asked calmly, unaware of the chaos in Jasmine’s mind.“Cassie told me she wanted to talk to Shea, she told me to bring her to the pool side and I did because I thought she was going to talk to her like a civil human being. But she started to talk about a bet, I thought she told me to become friends with Shea to give her updates because she didn’t want her near Ryker. I don’t know anything about a bet!” Jasmine explained.“And then- I- I think Cassie is going to push Shea into the pool.”“What?” Laurel yelled.“Oliv
Silently Falling 73-Just a bet
“Shea, are you alright in there? Do you need any help?” Sam asked as she knocked on the door of the bathroom. I had been sitting in the bathtub for an hour now, thinking about my mom and how life had been completely unfair to her. It has been a few days since my mom’s memorial service. I haven’t been going to any class because I knew it would be a complete waste of time.Jasmine told me we had an important lecture today but I told her I wouldn't be coming. She kept insisting that I should come but I eventually ignored her messages when they were getting too much. A part of me wanted to go to school, but then, I knew I wouldn't be able to focus.“Hey, Shea!” Sam called out again when I didn’t answer her. She tried to open the door but discovered that I had locked it from behind.“Oh God! Please open the door, Shea. I just wanna make sure you are okay.” She pleaded.“Go away.” I muttered.“What?”“Leave me alone!” I said a little louder for her to hear. I didn’t mean to be harsh to her
Silently Falling 72-Gone
Shea's POVIt's been three weeks since I heard the news about my mom's condition getting worse. I hadn't been focusing on classes and at work. I wasn't able to read very well for my tests, I always zoned out while reading on my own. The only time I would gain something from reading was when I read with Jasmine. She had a reading technique and it really helped me a lot.I burnt six cakes on different occasions at the café. When Brooks noticed that I wasn't myself, he told me that he would handle everything.Ryker had also been there for me. The best boyfriend I could ever ask for. He always called every hour to check on me and sometimes he would stay at café until my shift was over. I made sure to speak with my mom every single day, I would tell her how my day went and we would talk about different things. Her voice keeps getting weaker and weaker everyday and it really breaks my heart.I got down from Ryker's car and waved at him until his car was out of sight, then I went up the sta
