Silently Falling 47-Sophia
I unlocked the door and walked into the warm house. I missed this place a lot, but it felt empty without my mom cooking up delicious meals in the kitchen and my dad watching a football match, shouting at a player for not playing well or scoring a goal. “Umm… come in.” I shuttered slightly as I beckoned for Ryker to enter my house. My heart was racing and I was so nervous. What would Ryker think of my home? Although it looked clean except for the mugs on the coffee table and some papers on the couch. He nodded and stepped inside, looking around the sitting room before his eyes settled on the pictures on the wall. He walked confidently towards them and stared for a while. “You look so cute in this photo.” He commented as he chuckled. I blushed as I shifted my gaze to the faded floor boards. “And this one too.” He said and pointed at a photo of my fifth birthday. I had a mouth filled and stained with cake, and my yellow dress was also stained with icing. What was cute about that? “Oh!

**FLASHBACK**“Please let me go to the party, Ryker. I promise I won’t be late and also Kim will be with me throughout.” Sophia pleaded as she pouted her lips and tugged her brother’s jacket.“Alright, alright.” Ryker eventually gave in. Her puppy eyes and pouted lips always had an effect on him, he couldn’t help but give in to whatever she asked.“Yes!! Thank you, Ryker. You are the best brother ever. I just need one tiny favor from you.” Sophia said as she kept staring at her brother with puppy eyes.Ryker sighed, “what else do you want? I gave you some allowance this morning.”“No, it’s not money this time. Can you not tell Doris and our parents about the party I’m going to?” Sophia said quietly as she looked around the house to see if anyone was coming.“Why?”“Dad is going to kill me if he finds out, he almost cut off my allowance the last time I sneaked out of the house through my window and you know how Doris can be, she’s got this strict big sister vibe going on around her. Yo
Silently Falling 49-Pleasure
*Shea's POV*“It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let her go to the party. I should have protected her more. She died because of me.” Ryker kept blaming himself as he sat up on the bed and backed me.“No, it’s not your fault. Stop blaming yourself for that.” I tried to get him to face me but he just buried his face in his palms.“But it’s true. My dad was right. It was my fault.” He muttered.“No, stop. He only said that because he lost his daughter, I’m sure he didn’t mean it, so you have to stop this, Ryker.” I finally got him to look at me. I grabbed his both hands and sighed. I have never seen him like this, I really have no idea what to say to him.“Ryker, I know that I’m not great with words but, you really have to free yourself from this guilt, okay? You can’t keep living like this, you have to forgive yourself. And I’m sure Sophia wants the same thing.”“She wouldn’t want her brother whom she had always looked up to, to keep blaming himself for something he had no control over
Silently Falling 50-Hickey
The next morning, we went to greet my mom one more time before heading back to school. The memory of our make out session was still fresh in my mind and Ryker didn’t make it easy to forget. His hand was on my thigh the whole time he drove. The smile on my face didn’t fade away until we reached my hostel.“Umm- thank you for taking me to see my mom.” I said to him as I got out of the car, he did the same too.“Anything for you, Grumps. I hope she gets better soon.” He said as he brought out a small box that he took from the safe in his car earlier. I wondered what was inside.“This is for you.” He extended the box towards me. I smiled as I took it from him.“Open it.”I opened the box and saw a silver bracelet with a butterfly pendant in the middle. It was beautiful. I looked at it closely and saw that the pendant has my name on it. My jaw slackened as I stared at the beauty I was holding.“Oh my gosh! Ryker, this is- this is so beautiful. It even has my name on it.” I gushed excitedly
Silently Falling 51-Mansion
Jasmine’s house was far from what I expected. It shouldn’t even be called a house, it was a mansion. Just like Brandon’s house, there was a fountain in the middle of the large driveway, and the building was very large. The security only let me in because they confirmed from Jasmine that I was her friend.The maids were walking around and busy with different things in the surrounding. I almost turned back to leave at a point because someone might think I was one of the maids, but then I saw Jasmine walking towards me. She wore a black crop top and a pink short, her black hair was perfectly straightened too. She looked so different, in a good way. I had only seen her pack her hair in a messy bun just like me.She smiled at me as she got closer and she pulled me into a hug, I couldn’t help but notice that she smelt so good.“Hey.” She said, cheerily as she held my hand.“Hi. I didn’t know you were super rich.” I said as I gaped at the surroundings.Jasmine chuckled and led me through the
Silently Falling 52-Issue
I knocked on the door of Dylan’s room and waited patiently for him to open up. I have a class this morning but I wanted to settle my issue with my best friend before going to school. The weather was changing and it was a little bit cold this morning, so I wore the navy blue jacket Dylan gave me last year. The door opened, revealing his roommate, Victor. It seemed I had woken him up from sleep, his sandy brown hair was messy and his eyes were red. He adjusted his glasses and gave me a lazy smile.“Hey.” He greeted me.“Hi, good morning. Umm- is Dylan awake?” I asked as I shifted my weight on one foot and watched him stifle a yawn.“Yeah- I mean no, he is still sleeping.” He muttered as he rubbed his arms.“Can I come in?”“Sure.” Victor stepped aside so I could enter the room. Both sides of the room were neatly arranged, Dylan was an organized person right from scratch and it was obvious that Victor was an organized person too. Victor fell on his bed like a log of wood and went back to
Silently Falling 53-Party
The last class for today was painfully slow. I felt sleepy at one point but I kept pinching myself to stay awake. Half of the class were already asleep. Even Jasmine had laid her head on the table about twenty minutes ago and had fallen asleep. The professor didn’t look like he was going to leave the class anytime soon, so I took out a piece of gum that Jasmine had given me earlier. I tore off the paper wrapped around it and threw it into my mouth. It should keep me awake for a while.I couldn’t help but think of my mom in most of the classes I had today. No matter how hard I tried to concentrate, she was always at the back of my mind.I kept texting my dad in between classes to know if there was any response with her treatment, but my dad said the doctor told them to be a little bit patient. I had texted my sister to know if she was also doing okay. She told me she had been staying at the hospital because she was almost due.The professor eventually left, making my heart leap in happ

I texted Jasmine to ask if she was still coming and waited outside while Sam took off her jacket.“I can’t wear that inside, it’s gonna kill my vibes.” She groaned as she placed it on her arm and looked at me. “How do I look?” She asked with a smirk on her face as she ran her hands through her straight hair. She was obviously aware that she looked hot.“You look great, Sam. You know that.” I told her, my phone vibrated so I checked to see a message from Jasmine.Jasmine: I’ve got a really bad cramp so I won’t be able to come. Have fun.As expected.“I know. I just wanted to know what you think.” She laughed.I shook my head at her. “Let’s go in, Sam.”The loud music attacked my eardrums as I pushed the door open, some drunk girls almost bumped into me as they made their way out of the building, laughing their ass off. Sam moved in front of me and started to part a way through the crowd for us. Entering a party was always a struggle for me.The inside was louder and fuller, I felt so s

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.

"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

*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
