Hailey's POV.

I was in school with Shirley, but the teacher was not in class, I don't think she would make it to class that day. I think I can sleep peacefully now. I thought and laid my head on my desk to sleep.

That had always been my daily routine since Ryan had been discharged from the hospital, I had never had a good sleep, it's either he told me that I should help him to the bathroom in the middle of the night or he said he wanted me to sleep on his bed with him and sleeping on the bed with him had never ended well. He just turned it into something steamy and that is it, we would make out throughout the night.

I shouldn't have believed Mom when she said that they would be staying for more days, because they left again the second day even before Ryan got discharged and I haven't rested since then.

I shook the thoughts off my head and concentrated on sleeping, but the witch beside me kept on singing her witchy song and there went the sleep. "I'm trying to sleep here, Shirley! Can'

    Hailey's pov.Just have I thought, Ryan and I had been doing good with each other. After he got his bandage removed the other day, he had been hustling things by himself and now, I could sleep without having any thought of being called to in the middle of the night, we were doing so good and I have never been so better.It was a weekend and Ryan said he would like to take a stroll around the neighborhood and I was given the honor to tag along with him, which was okay by me.I got out of the bathroom, just to meet Ryan in my room. One thing I forgot to mention was his sneaky attitude, he had been sneaky lately, always sneaking up on me like I was having some cockroach in my cupboard, sometimes it was annoying but most times, it was cute."Hey, good morning." He greeted me."What are you doing here?" I questioned him, though I knew what his answer would be."Aren't you tired of asking that same question over and all over again?" I rolled my eyes, it was just exactly as I thought. He cou

    Hailey's POV.I smiled at him immediately after the kiss, "So, are we going to college together?" He questioned me again for assurance and I nodded. "Oh my God! Hailey, you're indirectly accepting me!" He spoke in a low yell, I knew that he was trying not to get attention from the crowd."Let's just focus on this, that can wait." He laughed and immediately took hold of my hand, he began to pull me out of the crowd and that got their attention."Wait!" The man that stopped the crowd from going rowdy the other time, beckoned. "Come here." He beckoned for us to come to him.I wanted to go back Ryan wouldn't let me go, he whispered to me, "Run!" Before I could assimilate what he meant, he was already running away with me."Ryan wait!" I shouted at him."No, can't do!" I turned to the man, he was just smiling as he stood there and he later sat back down in other to enjoy the show.Ryan continued running with me and I was getting tired, "I'm tired, Ryan. Stop!"He stopped immediately and wh

    Hailey's POV.I woke up with the sound of my phone, it was ringing and I groaned. I hate it when something like that keeps disturbing my peaceful sleep. I got out of Ryan's arms to pick up my phone, "Hello?" I groaned into the phone without checking the caller."Hailey! You finally decided to pick up your call!" Shirley shouted that I had to distance the phone away from my ear.I placed the phone back on my ear when I was sure that she was done shouting, "Why the early morning call?" I required from her."Do you just say early morning call? Come to school immediately, something is going on and since it's obvious that you're just walking up, I can tell that you haven't heard anything yet." She commanded like she was my Mom."Thanks, Mom," I told her sarcastically."You're welcome, sweetheart." She hung up, leaving me to boo at the phone. I just hate that girl, the balls of her to be commanding me around.I grumpily checked the time on my phone and it was as if I was hit with reality. T

    Hailey's POV.I sigh for the fifth time while going home in Ryan's care. "You still haven't told me why you are sighing like there is no tomorrow. What's bothering you? You're beginning to give me chills which are not good."I busted, "They fucking pull Mathematics and Chemistry for us on the first day!" I yelled as if he was the person who set the exam."Woah, woah, woah, chillax. You should try to see the brighter side instead of getting unnecessarily angry." He said and I glared at him."What bright side? Because all I'm seeing now is war."He was silent, probably thinking of the uncommon bright side but his head was equally void of one. He scratched his nape, "I'm unable to get one now, but I'll think of one later."I bird and turned away from him, staring at the car we drove by and the people on the roadside who were minding their business."I'm trying to get why you're angry because of the subject combination, I mean, you have never been scared of any subject before, is that sup

    Hailey's POV.It has been a few days since the news from Dad about his job and I haven't had time to think much about it, nor did I tell anyone about it yet, I have been busy, busy reading and preparing for my exams.I was sitting at my desk in my room with textbooks and notes spread out in front of me. I sighed, feeling the weight of the upcoming exams looming over me. I glanced at the clock and realized how late it was getting.Ryan walked into the room, a concerned look on his face. "Hey, Hailey. Are you still studying? It's getting late."I looked up and offered him a tired smile. "Yeah, I need to get through all of this material before the exam. I'm feeling overwhelmed." I complained. My back hurt, and so was my head, it was taking too much in at once and it was becoming unbearable, though I had to manage.Ryan walked over to me and placed a gentle hand on my shoulder. "You've been studying for hours. Maybe it's time for a break? Let's go for a walk in the garden and get some fre

    Hailey's POV.The soft rays of the morning sun filtered through the curtains, gently nudging me awake. I stretched my arms above my head, feeling the comfort of my warm bed reluctantly leave me. With a sigh, I sat up, blinking away the last remnants of sleep.The familiar routine began as I made my way to the bathroom. I turned on the shower, adjusting the temperature until it was just right, a perfect balance of warmth to wake me up without startling me. Stepping under the soothing stream of water, I let it cascade over me, washing away the traces of sleep and leaving me feeling refreshed.After my shower, I wrapped myself in a fluffy towel and went about brushing my teeth. The minty freshness filled my mouth, waking up my senses even more. I took extra care to ensure every corner of my mouth was clean.Dressed in my clothes, I made my way downstairs to the kitchen. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the sound of sizzling bacon greeted me, courtesy of Mom who was already busy pre

    Hailey's POV.I burst into the kitchen, my eyes sparkling with excitement. I found Mom, sipping on a cup of coffee and flipping through a magazine."Mom, you won't believe what happened!" I exclaimed, bouncing on the balls of my feet.Mom smiled at my enthusiasm and I almost thought she was changing. "What's got you so excited, Hailey?""Dad got a new job! It's a paid employment opportunity, and it's cool!" I exclaimed, practically bubbling over with excitement.Mom's eyes widened in surprise. "That's wonderful news, Hailey! What kind of job is it?""He's going to be working as a manager in a big company!" I beamed, my words tumbling out in a rush. "We'll get to travel to different places, and take photos of animals in their natural habitats when he gets his first salary!"Mom couldn't help but stare at my excitement. "Wow, that does sound amazing! Your dad always did have a management talent. You must be proud of him."I nodded vigorously. "Yeah, he's passionate about it. And the bes

    Brielle's POV.I sat in my room, my fingers tapping impatiently on my desk. The mere thought of Hailey made my blood boil. I had never met someone so infuriating, so utterly undeserving of the good things that came her way. As she stared at the wall, her mind filled with dark thoughts."Why does she get everything?" I muttered to myself. "She's so fake, always pretending to be nice. But I know her true colors."I pressed my legs on the floor in anger as I thought of her. Still, in a rage, a picture of Hailey flashed on my phone screen, a reminder of the source of my anger. My jaw clenched as I imagined all the ways I could make Hailey pay for what she did to me. She took Ryan away from me and still has the guts to insult me. How dare she?!"I wish she die!" I whispered venomously. "She should just disappear from my life, from everyone's life. I'm sure no one would miss her."My gaze turned to the window, watching the sun setting in the distance. The idea of Hailey's absence brought a

    Hailey's POV.I sat nervously in front of my vanity mirror, my heart pounding with excitement and anticipation. It was my graduation day, marking the end of years of hard work and dedication. I glanced at the clock on the wall, counting down the minutes until the ceremony would begin.I was in my room at Ryan's house, and my makeup artist, Sarah, meticulously applied the final touches to my makeup, highlighting my natural beauty. I watched Sarah work with a mix of nerves and awe. "You're amazing at this, Sarah," I said, admiring my reflection."Thank you, Hailey! You're already stunning, so it makes my job easier," Sarah replied with a smile, adjusting my hair to fall in loose waves around my shoulders.My mind raced with thoughts of the day ahead. I couldn't wait to see my parents in the audience, proud smiles on their faces. Despite the recent misunderstandings in my family, I hoped today would be a day of celebration and unity.As Sarah finished the final touches, I stood up from m

    Hailey's POV.I wanted to leave but I turned back to Mom again, I couldn't shake off the lingering questions in my mind. I went to her room and sat down, sat down with my Mom, and the words I had been holding back spilled out."Mom, what if Dad wanted you back?" I asked quietly, my gaze searching my Mom's eyes for any sign of hope or regret.Mom's expression turned somber as she considered the question. "Hailey, your dad has every right to move on and find happiness. I've caused him so much pain and heartache. I don't deserve his love anymore."My heart ached at my mom's words. "But Mom, don't you want to try to make things right? To be a family again?"Mom sighed, her shoulders slumping with the weight of regret. "I wish things were different, Hailey. I wish I hadn't made the choices I did. But I can't change the past, and I can't expect your dad to forgive me for betraying him and you."Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized the depth of my mom's remorse. "Mom, you're not unworthy

    Hailey's POV.The air was heavy with anticipation and tension in Ryan's house. It had been a week since the dramatic confrontation that led to Uncle Elijah considering reconciling with his estranged wife. I couldn't shake off the somber atmosphere that seemed to linger in every room.One evening, as I sat by the window in Ryan's room, staring at the moonlit sky, Ryan entered with a troubled expression. He sat down beside me, and without a word, I knew something was bothering him."What's wrong, Ryan?" I asked softly, turning to look at him.Ryan sighed heavily. "I can't stop thinking about everything that's happened. Dad is still unsure about Mom coming back. It's like we're walking on eggshells around here."I nodded, understanding his concern. "I've been feeling the same way. But you know what's been on my mind more? My Mom. She's been so quiet and withdrawn since that night."Ryan frowned, his brows knitting together in concern. "Do you think she regrets leaving your Dad?"My gaze

    Ryan's POV.When Dad returned to the sitting room, we stopped talking about Hailey and I love, we focused on Dad again, but at least, I was relieved. There was no secret in Hailey and I loved life again, we were free.I stood in the middle of the living room, my heart heavy with the tension that crackled between Hailey and my parents. They sat across from each other, their expressions a stark contrast.My Mom looked at Dad with a mixture of regret and apology in her eyes. She knew she had hurt him deeply, and her gaze reflected her remorse. On the other hand, Dad's eyes were filled with annoyance and a hint of bitterness. He couldn't shake off the pain of the past, the wounds that had never fully healed.The room felt suffocating, the silence broken only by the ticking of the clock on the wall. I shifted uncomfortably, wishing I could disappear or at least bridge the chasm that had grown between my parents. I never knew forgiveness would be that difficult."Mom, Dad," I finally spoke,

    Hailey's POV.I watched as Uncle Elijah's jaw tightened slightly, but he remained silent, waiting to hear me out."I understand that things have been difficult, and mistakes have been made," I continued, my voice gaining strength. "But holding onto anger and resentment will only hurt us in the long run. We need to find a way to move forward together."Aunty Rebecca scoffed. "Move forward? After everything that has happened?"I nodded. "Yes, even after everything. Because deep down, I know that we all care about each other. Uncle Elijah," she turned to him, "I know you still love your wife, despite everything, she birth to your son after all. And Aunty Rebecca," I faced her next, "I know you regret some of the decisions you've made."Uncle Elijah sighed heavily, his gaze shifting to Aunty Rebecca. "It's not that simple, Hailey," he murmured, his voice filled with pain."But it can be," I insisted, my eyes brimming with conviction. "If we're willing to open our hearts to forgiveness and

    Hailey's Pov.The drive back home was nothing like when we were going to the restaurant, it was lively with Ryan's Mom, who was making some hilarious jokes just for the family to laugh, and at some points, I cracked up a laugh.I was beginning to feel that maybe Ryan's Mom wasn't that bad, maybe she just wanted peace and love among us all, but everything changed when we got home and met Mom. Aunty Rebecca changed from the sweet she was a second ago and changed to something I didn't know. I had to double-check her if she was the same person or if someone else was supposed to be her.Aunty Rebecca's voice cut through the sitting room immediately we entered and met Mom sitting there, her words laced with contempt as she directed her insults at my Mom once again. "I don't know why you're even here, trying to pretend like you belong. You're nothing but a husband snatcher, a gold digger!" She was harsh with her words. I palmed my face in frustration, oh no! Not again!My mom bristled at the

    Hailey's POV.I sat on the stairs of the school, my backpack slung over one shoulder, my eyes scanning the parking lot for any sign of Ryan's car. He had promised to pick me up after my final exam, but as the minutes ticked by, it became clear that he wouldn't make it. I sighed, feeling a mix of disappointment and understanding. Ryan often got caught up in his family's business recently, especially when his Dad needed him.Just as I was about to call Shirley for a ride, a voice interrupted my thoughts. "Hey, Hailey! Need a lift?" Micah grinned, leaning against his car with a casual charm.I smiled gratefully. "Yes, please. Thanks, Micah."When he was driving us towards my house, Micah turned on the radio, filling the car with upbeat music. "So, how was your exam?" he asked, glancing at me.I shrugged. "It was okay, I guess. Just glad it's over."Micah nodded, understanding the relief of finishing exams. "Any plans for the summer?"My mind wandered to the beach trips and lazy days I ha

    Hailey's POV.My eyes fluttered open as the soft morning light filtered through my curtains, casting a warm glow across my room. It was Monday, the beginning of my final exams, and a mix of excitement and nervousness filled my thoughts. I stretched lazily in bed, feeling the weight of the upcoming challenges ahead. I had no exam that day, til the morrow I was going to the library with Shirley to read.As I sat up and rubbed the sleep from my eyes, memories from the previous weeks flooded my mind. The incident in the chemistry lab still lingered, the sting of Brielle's insincere apology and the scar in my hand serving as constant reminders. But today, I vowed to focus on my exams and push aside any distractions. I must graduate in a few months.I swung my legs out of bed and padded over to my desk. The stack of textbooks and notes seemed to mock me, reminding me that every hard word would begin to reflect today.As I flipped open my biology textbook, my phone buzzed with a message from

    Ryan's POV.Mom came again as usual to cause trouble, but I couldn't let her in, Hailey was still healing from the turmoil that her last visit caused and I couldn't help but stop her from entering, I was sick of always letting her in only to cause Harley more pain."Ryan, what are you doing?" She asked me unbelievably."I'm stopping you from entering, Mom. You will only go in there are cause more pain to people who don't deserve it. You have been doing that for days now and I have been foolishly letting you in over and all over again, but not today. You should leave immediately." I wanted to close the door but she stopped me."Are you chasing your mother away from her house Ryan? What had that woman turned you to? I didn't bring you up to be disrespectful to me, I don't know that my child would be cruel to me." She was using a guilt trick on me, and I knew it. I still spoke with her though."Mom. If you were Hailey's Mom, I'm sure you would have killed yourself by now, if you see the
