NORA

“What do you mean by that?”

I asked him once again because it seems like he doesn’t know what he’s saying. Liam shrugged, his shoulders, a way to tell me he meant what he said and I scoffed, and hurriedly turned back around only to be pulled back.

“You’re going nowhere. Adhere and carry my suitcase, you’re coming with me.” And that was all it took for me to do as he said, the bundles of dollars he placed in my hand enough for me to be his dog for today.

I frowned less the more I walked with him. When we reached his car, the driver took the wheels while he sat at the back seat and I begrudgingly sat beside him.

It’s a new week, a Monday to make the situation even more worse. I work up this morning to prepare for school and father having assigned Liam to one of his numerous companies, Liam decided it’s the best day to torment me.

According to him, my brain needs a rest from all the studying meanwhile inwardly, I knew he only wants to be a dick and make me the servant at his new

    JORDANI chuckled, eyeing my fists and wondering how satisfying it would be smashing it against her face.“Meyer explained it to me back there but I knew that can’t be true. You know well enough I never worked for you and it’s utterly impossible you take my sweat.” My voice dropped to a low territory, dripping with clear annoyance as I stared at her for her reaction. I crossed my arms against my chest as I remained standing steely before her. I had a fight at the underground I worked out and I wasn’t even done with the second fight for the night when I saw Sawyer’s retreating figure. I was suspicious so I went to Meyer requesting for my first pay of the night but all outrage broke loose when he told me Sawyer was just here to receive it. I could have firstly did justice to my anger through Meyer, but not only was he a retired fighter, I might get chased out of there forever.And I also won’t like breaking bones before I reach home and teach Sawyer a lesson but here I am, before her,

    JORDANThe next day came by pretty good and it was all fun, and of course, neither of us went to school because I’d rather get the hang of my life and according to them, they need to look after me but I know that was just an excuse to skip school with me. Either way, I was okay with it.“Nathan probably doesn’t know what he is saying, dude. This movie can never get odd for me, like shoot, it was all we fed on while we were kids, in diapers, darn it.” Rodney spat while pointing his finger at the tv screen rolling with the movie’s cast. “You were right that was all there was to watch back in those days but c’mon man, they could have tried harder. I wasted my fear for nothing back then, what’s horror in there? Even as I’m seated I can’t feel a shrill run through my vein all the while we’ve been at it. That makes it lame enough.” Nathan retorted acidly before turning and going for the TV’s remote in which Rodney was pretty quick to snatch from him. “You might not feel the terror but I

    NORAWe made sure to convey Jordan to the hospital as fast as possible and now the doctors just had him rushed to the operation room while we wait. Both Lucan and I stared at each other wordlessly, the situation at hand not only heart breaking but scary.I slumped down on the seat behind me, palming my hand together as I fumbled with my thoughts. Tears are still streaking my eyes, my head lost in an endless wheels of emotions as I kept tapping my feet against the floorboard. This shouldn’t be happening, I don’t even know if he’s still breathing in there, darn it. “Now what do we do?” Lucan asked from beside me as he let himself down next to me on the seat. I shrugged, having littlest to no knowledge of what on earth we were to do in this situation.I’m so scared right now. What if he dies?“Whoever did this should be ready to die alongside if anything happens to him.” With my teeth gritted together, I fumed. It’s now minutes into midnight, and I can’t just leave Jordan here alone

    NORA“Post-operative sedation.”Was what the doctor told us when we arrived at the hospital. According to him, Jordan is in a deep state of sleep that can last for several days. Even though that wasn’t what I was expecting, that still renewed my hope. From the look of things, he wasn’t only shot once and he must be so lucky he escaped death.“You three can leave. We will stay here.” Nathan voiced, when we all stepped out the patient’s room Jordan was in. I wished I could reject his offer and stay with them alongside but Liam will murder me. “I’ll drop you off.” I told Natalie as Lucan and I start to walk out of the hospital. Natalie nodded wordlessly and that was when I remembered I wanted to ask her in private what the awkwardness around Lucan was about. “Wait a minute.” I held onto Natalie’s hand before she could enter the backseat. She was confused by the gesture but I led her to a safe distance from Lucan nevertheless.I fold my hands together before pointedly looking behind a

    LUCANI was indeed engulfed in my phone’s screen but that was until Nora came in. We exchanged greetings and she took the seat directly opposite me, her attention on Jordan’s body as usual. I seriously was about taking my eyes off her for a second until I caught her reaching out to hold Jordan’s hand. She must have notified my stare, a reason why she instantly withdrew her hand before it could even touch Jordan. I wanted to let her know she could touch him all she wants because I am in no way hindering her from caring for him but, I kept mute. Would be better I explain nothing. Everything went back to normal after that until she started making some absurd movement on the chair she’s seated in. The exact same symptoms I have been told she displays but have never witnessed. It’s here now, but somehow I feel uncomfortable. Her eyes dawned on me under no time. She was like the predator and I, the prey. I immediately set on my feet and started moving back, those emotions in her eyes sp

    NORAI was expecting a lot more of things to happen the next day but this wasn’t part of it. I never expected to step out of the gate and positioned was the almost unrecognizable man. I’ve somehow forgotten what he his name was and aside that, I knew the man before me wasn’t supposed to be here? “Where’s he?” After a few seconds, he struck me with his questions and I got pretty much confused. “You seriously don’t know where your son is?” I lowly said beck and his hands dug deep into the pockets of his dark jeans.“I don’t have all the time in the world, young lady.” He expressed his impatience and I was completely taken aback. “Whoever told you something happened to him should at least tell you where he is at.” I nervously cleared my throat and murmured. Those eyes has a visible perfect of resemblance to Jordan’s. I wouldn’t have known he even has a father if I hadn’t came across him on my first day of school. His callous face was now hosting fear in me somehow, and I traced his

    NORAThe first thing that alerted me of there presence was the bickering occurring inside of Jordan’s hospital room. If they are at least going to hit their heads off, shouldn’t they do it outside? Happens that I received a text from Nathan and Rodney who apparently can’t be at the hospital today, I had to come faster and stay with Jordan but as fate would have it, Sawyer and the man were already inside the hospital, making a hell of noise. I made to enter when their conversation suddenly began to pique my interest. “At least have a little conscience.” I heard Sawyer say, her voice lowered only at that part, but I still managed to catch unto what she said. “Conscience? When he got me where I am? Do you know how many more years I still have left to use at the jail?” The man snapped. I knew I was trending upon a dangerous ground but I was too curious. “You’ll finally get out of it, Jasper. As long as you don’t commit another crime, and know this, I’m not saying this because I am s

    NORAI stared at Frida who also stared back at me. If I am not mistaken and haven’t got the calculation wrong, it’s been over seven years since I’ve seen her. Apparently, we were best friends.“What’s she doing here?” I looked over at Liam and asked him. It wasn’t hard to tell that her been here is his handiwork. “She transferred schools.” He made mention and shrugged like it was nothing new. “If she transferred schools, why then is she here?” I asked him and I watched him rub his forehead, looking fed up of my queries. “She transferred to yours.” I choked on thin air at his admission, he possibly can’t be serious. Seven years ago, it was all rosy and a sunshine for both Frida and I until she had to transfer to a real costly school somewhere far away so now I’m confused, she can’t be here if something hadn’t went wrong with her family. Bankrupted, perhaps? “What for?” I sat upright on my seat. “To follow you here and there.” He shrugged his shoulders yet again a nonchalant smil

    Third Person’s Pov{Seven Years Later}“Do you know who my mother is?” Sky blue-eyed golden curls, Caily leapt on her feet, screeching.“No, you! Do you know who my father is?!” Aged five deep brown-eyed Nico with a mass of tousled dark curls boomed across the field, running unscathed to shelter the door. “Do you know who my daughter is?” Spencer challenged the two kids, stepping out of his car to squint his eyes at them, taking their sights in. Their resemblance was what alarmed him first. Nora had informed him at the jail five years ago she gave birth to a baby boy and four years ago too, that she’s already pregnant with a baby girl just a month after giving birth. It was risky but he remembered giving her his blessings. These can’t be his daughters bearing. They look too handsome and pretty for a child— the girl taking after her mother and the eldest, the boy taking after the father. “Who’s your daughter here, sir?” Caily’s pouty face turned serious. “We happen to know our pa

    NORA {College, Three Years Later} Stony Brook University. Just the asignsment alone drives me crazy. I don’t have a choice. I became pretty much popular after my father’s scandal three years ago and luckily, people didn’t treat me bad because of that. Instead, they placed burdens on my shoulders. No events comes without me been among its planners, and you don’t speak of the teachers’ favorite without including me. I never thought I was going to experience such privilege in my life, even though it was so exhausting. Somehow, I have managed through three of my years here, left with just one year and I will be free. The fact that mostly half of the school would miss me not enough to encourage me to fail my last exam, and lag behind just to continue staying with them. “How are you able to read and write in such a noisy atmosphere as this?” When my roommate, Alice, came in, that was the first thing she asked me. “The fear of failure kept me going. Then again…” I hit my pe

    JORDANAfter the night spent with Nora two days ago, I told her we should schedule our next meeting for when I have spoken with my mother. I want to introduce them to each other. I want my mother to see the girl that captured my heart. My mother and her boyfriend are somewhere around New York, and ever since she told me of their address, I never had the chance to visit them. Until now. The taste of calling him my mother’s boyfriend remained bitter on my lips. They better get married, being her husband would make far more better meaning. “You didn’t tell me beforehand you’re coming.” Was the first thing my mother said when she saw me at her doorstep. It’s a rented apartment meanwhile she gave me an owned bigger one, bought in my name. Where would I have been by now? At my friends’. Embarrassing. “You want me to go back?” I carefully asked before stepping insude. She shook her head and let me in. She walked me around the house and the only impressive thing about it was the big

    NORA‘He’s leaving the country.’ Early in the next morning after I barely managed to sleep, the text woke me up. I don’t step out of the house without taking my bath but it was so tempting to do it for the first time. What stopped me was the bad smell drifting from me that would discourage Jordan even if he eventually decide to take me back. I took my bath but it was snappy, the shortest I have ever spent inside the bathroom. I didn’t get to make choices from my closet. I opted for the first one my hand reached. I knew first impression was everything but this wasn’t the first time Jordan would see me and then, I still remember him telling me how beautiful I look even without trying. “Where to?” It caught me by surprise that Liam was at home then it dawned on me it's Saturday. I wanted to turn around and just go back to my room but it's more scary not trying.“Jordan’s.” I responded. I waited for him to stop me from moving or even go as far as locking the door. I won't put it p

    NORAA Month LaterI haven’t even applied to any college. It’s been a month of me constantly locking myself in my room, each time I go out only happening because I need to take my meals. My life has been upside down. A month of heavy changes in our family— my father no longer being the prime minister, my mother still forming enmity with us and her children. And above all, Jordan still not wanting to see me. Or should I say I don’t even know his whereabouts? Theodore kept checking up on me, not understanding I don’t want him here, not anywhere close to me. I don’t want to see anybody. I have tried chasing him off but he won’t leave. I know it’s Liam’s handiwork, thinking Theodore can get me to leave the walls of my room. He's a good guy though. He's not considering my behavior though I am trying to change towards him. If I don't want to remain a loner.Over the month, I went to the jail to check on my father and unlike what I expected of him, he didn’t chase me away. I told him o

    LUCAN“No, you’re staying here with us.”I’m instantly on edge, tensed beneath my parents probing gaze. My decision to corner them before leaving for work, failing woefully. “I have nothing doing here.” I again try to persuade. “No, you have school here. Your resumption is barely two weeks away.” My father interjected this time, again turning the dice on me. Cassidy’s burial was just yesterday, and I am already fed up staying at New York. Everything reminds me of her, her memories too disturbing for me to live with.I don’t even get myself. If I ever want to, I need to vacate to another country. The problem now been my unyielding parents. If I ever want anything from them, what I know so far was how I have to work my way for it, by persuading then like there's no tomorrow.“You are capable of transferring schools for me. I’m tired of NY, I just want to change location. Nothing else, I promise.” I’m being wise. Staying here, I won’t even be able to mind my studies, everywhere I g

    Third Person’s Pov{Feelings At The Burial}Mere looking at the casket being lowered to the ground almost had Jordan tearing up. The fact that ought to be him and not Cassidy, has his brain on a pause, discarding every other thoughts. If only he was in the right sense to chase after Jasper that day. With his own very hands, they would have killed him away, accepting to live the rest of his lives in jail. Then he saw his mother. The person who has been long murdered by the two devilish husband and wife. He wanted to go to her, to check if he was seeing the reality but the dead body in his arms was much more worthy than running after the woman who abandoned him. If she wasn’t dead, she should have came for him but that was a now. She left him with her heartless ex husband to witness nemesis. And when he saw Nora at the Ford’s, the fear of rejection once again appeared before his face. He’s still dealing with a loss, having her come to tell him they can’t work would be another bruis

    A Week LaterNORAThere’s going to be a burial, for Cassidy. The burial is going to take place at the Green-Wood Cemetery, Brooklyn.Together with Natalie, we are going to be visiting her family first to offer our condolences before we all head to the Cemetery. The school announced her death about five days ago through the school news portal, since the school has been on break. A few were saddened, most were gladdened receiving their freedom. I almost felt like punching holes in their faces whenever one or two of their disheartening comments popped up but I’d just injure myself by punching my phone. It would have been better face-to-face. How can people be so cruel? A little sympathy even if they don’t mean it most definitely won’t hurt a fly.The Ford’s family are rich, even if it looks average. The security guard must be having a tough time opening and shutting the door, for the numerous visitors. “They’re inside.” He directed us and I gave him a nod. A little more and I’d for

    NORAYou want to know that one time I feel like jumping over a cliff? The moment I ran to the scene, and got there only when the deed was done. Fate didn’t even give me the chance to be in her stead. You think I wouldn’t in a blink? I would. What use was life to me before? Nothing. The guy I want, I can never get. I got him, I must not stay. Now what? If anybody doesn’t, I’m going to make sure Jasper regrets the ruin he caused. I’m angry, I feel annoyed, I want to drag my nails over my face. Cassidy fucking died! She was murdered. I saw her being rushed into the ambulance in cold blood and my body lost all blood. How can a father be so insane to go as far as killing his own son? If not to get out of prison, then I wonder what his motive was. And my father? I don’t know how else to say he’s in trouble.To be frank, Jordan didn’t even want to speak with me. I remembered running towards him, where he was on the floor wailing, and it was unexpected when he totally ignored me befo
