Faith’s P.O.V
The entrance to the racing arena was tightly guarded with a few burly looking security staff and even a couple police officers.
I paused just outside the gates, not sure how I was even going to get inside past this amount of security anymore.
A group of people walked past me, and they seemed to be teenagers too, probably younger than me. They were all wearing black pants and tops and leather jackets and even had bandanas on their heads.
The guards easily let them through without so much as a backward glance at them and that made me want to question how the police could even let these teens go inside such an event, where there was no doubt going to be drugs and alcohol, without so much as asking for an ID?
However, the difference between them and me was as starkly evident as day and night.
I was in a grey hoodie and denim shorts, my hair pulled back fro

Chapter 84: Breaking PointFaith’s P.O.VTears blurred my vision as I ran, pushing past the crowd as I made my way out of the arena.“Hey!” “Watch it!” “What the fuck!” “Are you blind?” “Dumb bitch!”Hollers surrounded me from all sides as I pushed past the crowd, nausea churning in my gut as I tried to find an escape but kept on getting lost over and over again.I stopped, trying to figure out where I was and where I was even going, but with my vision blurred with tears, my mind a jumbled mess of thoughts and emotions and my stomach churning with nausea, I was no better than the filthy names that people were calling me when I unintentionally bumped into them while trying to run away from the world itself.The entire world seemed to be closing in on me, trying to suffocate me, and even though I was standing under the open sky, the stars in full view, I felt trapped…like I had nowhere to go.It wasn’t long before the nausea became overwhelming and I was once again running through the c

Chapter 86: Not Worth It Brandon’s P.O.V ‘Loving you…has brought me nothing but pain and suffering…I’m done loving you, Brandon.’ Faith’s words kept on reverberating inside my head over and over again, as I stood frozen in my spot, watching her run out the cabin and disappear into the crowd. I tried to keep track of her gray hoodie for as long as I could, but soon, she was lost in a seal of people that I didn’t even recognize…and my heart shredded into a million pieces inside my chest. Loving you…has brought me nothing but pain and suffering… I shook my head, trying to get her voice out; her voice out of my mind. But it persisted. Like nails on a chalkboard…over and over again… I’m done loving you, Brandon. I wasn’t worthy, was I? I was no longer worthy of being loved or cared about? I was just a big fuck up who made other people’s live

Chapter 87: Never PregnantBrandon’s P.O.V“Brandon!”Julia turned to face us with a gasp of horror, revealing the scene behind her. And right then…I felt like the ground had slipped from under my feet.Faith…she was lying on the floor amid the dust and the debris…as blood pooled around her legs…Even in the darkness of the room, I could identify the blood clearly. It was thick and dark and it flower slowly…almost eerily around her.Her face was contorted in pain and her eyes slowly closed as she slumped on the ground…and my heart thrashed against my ribcage as fear gripped my heart in its icy fingers.“Faith!”I pushed past Julia’s form as she stood unmoving and horrified in the middle of the room.Kneeling on the floor beside her, the first thing I did was to check for a pulse. Pressing my fingers against her neck, I felt around until I felt the slow but steady beat of her heart and then I saw her chest moving, but barely.“You’ll be alright.” I told her, my entire body trembling as

Chapter 88: Recovery Brandon’s P.O.V “What?” My mind went completely blank for a second. “I-I don’t…understand…I…?” “Please, have a seat, Mr. Wolfram.” The doctor pointed to the side where the chairs lined the hallway. “I think it’s better if I explain to you what happened to Ms. Millar.” I nodded my head slowly, unable to do anything else. It was almost like my brain had given up trying to process everything and was just shutting down… Never pregnant? How was that even possible? Debby called me didn’t she? She called me to tell me that Faith wanted to talk to me about her pregnancy…so I guess that she had done tests? She must have…otherwise…how would she even have known that she was pregnant? And now…the doctor was telling me that Faith had never been pregnant? Nothing was making sense anymore, damnit! I plopped down onto the seat then, and the doctor took the seat beside me. Maybe the shock on my face must have convinced him to give me the details of Faith’s condition; othe

Every tear felt like a lash on my skin.Helplessly, I slid down the closed doors to sit on the floor; my knees pressed to my chest and my hands clutching them together.Dear god! Why was I even alive?All I did was cause her pain and suffering. Every time I felt like we had finally closed up our distances; managed to clear out our misunderstandings…it just reverted back to square one. I fucked up all over again and Faith ends up being the person who suffers because of my mistakes.Guilt didn’t even begin to define the feeling I hand in my mind at the moment.What had I done? Why had I been so stupid? Why hadn't I thought things through? Why? Why?WHY?I clutched at my hair as the whole scene played out in my head over and over again. Her shocked whisper…it buzzed in my ears until it bec

Everything was overwhelming at the moment. From the way I reacted to seeing Brandon after hearing the news about my false pregnancy from the doctors, to how I was feeling after seeing him once again…this mix of frustration and hope.All these feeling were overwhelming my senses, making me question my sanity. I didn’t know if it was from t

Because I smell something fishy. I was hoping to find you guys’ knee deep in each other already but you sending away Brandon? Nope…definitely fishy. And I promise I’m wearing new underwear.”“Eww!” I scrunched up my nose before another sigh left my lips. At this rate, I’ll be spending the rest of my life in misery, because my mother used to say that one sigh equals one unhappy day. “I…told him to apol

The cool metal fell around my neck easily, and a sense of nostalgia overwhelmed me as I remembered my mother wearing it all the time.But I wasn’t allowed to dwell on the nostalgia for long since I felt his warm breath fanning my skin before I felt him lean down and place a tender kiss on my shoulder.“I didn’t want to give back the pendant…because when you weren’t with me, when we weren’t together, this was the only thing that connected me to you.” He whispered against my ear, his arms coming around me to wrap around my middle. “I threw it away once…when I thought you were too good to be with me, that I didn’t want to taint you with my darkness…and it was right here, at this very beach. But the waves gave it back to me; almost like it was fate…they didn’t want me to lose the only good thing in

Chapter 99: The PendantFaith’s P.O.VI felt my breath leave my lungs temporarily as I descended down the stairs and there he was…dressed in a black shirt with its sleeves rolled up to his elbow and black dress pants that fit him like a glove.In his hands was a humongous bouquet of red roses that looked bright and luscious, their fragrance filling the air with sweetness that felt almost like a scene out of a movie.I watched his eyes widen slightly as they landed on me, his lips parting in a small gasp, and his eyes, when they met mine, held promises that made my insides quiver with excitement and my heart almost skip a beat.In all honesty…we hadn't been intimate for a long time now, considering how we had both been through so much…but now, looking at him today, I found myself anticipating the end of the night more than the date itself.Maybe we can just forget about the date and just head to his apartment already?Brandon’s lips tilted up in a small smile and it felt like he knew e

Exams are over!” Nik threw her hands up in the air as she did a little ‘happy dance’ before turning to Debby and me. “Let’s go out this evening!”“Go out? Where?” I asked, raising my eyebrows skeptically.Usually, Nik’s idea of going out wasn’t the best of plans. The last time we went out together, not only did she get the wrong address, but we were thrown out of the club since none of us had fake IDs and we weren’t allowed in unless we were twenty one.Now, I watched as Debby nodded enthusiastically to Nik’s proposal, ever the supportive girlfriend…even though I was starting to worry about what trouble they were going to get into this time.“Leave me out.” I sighed, walking down the stairs to join them at the courtyard. “I’ll be heading home first.”“Why? Do you have plans already?” Debby smirked with a knowing look in her eyes.“I do.” I nodded, laughing at her expression. “Brandon asked me out on a date.”“Oh! Really!” Nik looked a

I’m getting discharged today.”“Yup. Just heard the reception discussing that.” He came forwards to stand beside the bed, where I sat already dressed in casual clothing, ready for the nurses to take me out as soon as Brandon was done with the paperwork. “How are you? Bran told me everything…about what happened yesterday.”I nodded, sad that everything had to come to this. “I’m glad everything is over now.” I told him. “And I can start over from scratch. It’s all a new beginning for all of us.”Ethan gave me a look that said that even though it was a new beginning for some of us…there were still lingering feelings left.“At least I still get to be friends with you.” He finally said with a sigh. “But if Brandon treats you bad again…I will

Neither did I tell him. Instead, I watched him take a seat on one of the couches on the opposite side of the room, far from me and Julia.I knew he was giving us space, letting me and her settle our differences. It was what was most important. But at the same time, I couldn’t help but miss his presence, his support.No matter how brave of a front I put up…I was still worried about what had transpired between him and Julia at her house.“Thank you…” Julia told me now, her eyes appearing haunted as she looked up at me tiredly. “For not complaining against me…even after everything I did…”I saw tears well up in her eyes as she swallowed hard, her emotions clearly all over the place. “Why? Why did you help me? I’ve been the shittiest person to you…I’ve bullied you, spoke badly about you…tried to steal Brandon aw

And I wasn’t even worried about myself at the moment.The cops stayed in the room, keeping their watchful eyes on me as if I was going to get up and jump out the window to escape them. Well…unfortunately, this wasn’t some kind of survival episode and I was definitely not into Fast and Furious. Besides, I just had a surgery!How did they expect me to escape when I was barely able to move without support?I kept looking at the clock on the wall, waiting desperately for someone, anyone, to arrive! Debby waited patiently by my side, her hand in mine a kind of reassurance that everything was going to be alright and that help was on its way.However, even though the clock seemed to tick at a snail’s pace and a minute felt like an eternity, I didn’t actually have to wait long before people started pouring into my room.First came my aunt and George, their worried faces instantly l

Julia’s mother turning into an alcoholic? Scott taking up the void that I had left in her life?How had I been so ignorant all this time?What made it worse was the fact that I didn’t remember anything from that time. The whole year, from the time my mother died, to the time that woman, my father’s secretary seduced me into sleeping with her…to the point where I was driven by my irrational hate and anger towards the rest of the world…all of it was one big blacked out blur and I could hardly remember any of it.I tried to remember the times when I had ignored Julia.

Chapter 93: Unexpected Confrontations Brandon’s P.O.V The plain white walls of the six storied apartment building brought on a bittersweet avalanche of memories as I got out of the elevator on the second floor and walked down the almost familiar hallways before coming to a stop in front of the same door where I had stood in front of countless times before. Memories from the past came rushing back in waves, making me recall all the times I had stood in front of this very door, sometimes with an expensive bouquet of roses in my hand and sometimes with takeout from a fine dining restaurant. How many times had we slammed these very doors? Sometimes in passion, sometimes in anger and sometimes in dejection? Time was indeed a funny thing, wasn’t it? Because once, when these same emotions had threatened to engulf me in agony…now they were like fleeting images at the back of my mind, hardly evoking even a quarter of the same emotions that I had once felt for the woman who lived behind the
