2024-10-29 19:42:56After what had happened with Joey and I, we've been closer than ever. We hung out more than we usually do, and have our little moments. But when his girlfriend Jenny was around we just did our normal stuff. We almost slipped a few times around her. Once was when I got up from our lunch table to throw my trash away, I leaned down to kiss him on the lips but end up kissing him on the cheek. The same BFF shit we did before but with more meaning.
One day he came over and we spent together in my room and so happens the same day that my father comes home. He walked into my room right as Joey and I were about to kiss but Joey pulled away fast as the door opened."Ummm, who's he?" My father asked."Its Joey, Joe Macintosh, famous football star's son." I had said."Joe Macintosh? Don't ring a bell.""Sir, my father was famous in this town because he won't the Superbowl few years back before he retired the NFL." Joey had said.

I started this chapter for Thanksgiving but end up stopping BC on the day if I got busy cooking a huge dinner for 4 ppl, than got back to work the next day then yesterday I spent time with my man. Well, while I'm laying in bed, I thought I should finish this chapter up. Sorry for the lateness of it, hope y'all will still love it.I woke up to it being loud in the hall. I didn't want to get up, but I had to see what was going on. As I got up and walked to my door, I looked over at the calendar and saw it was the week of Thanksgiving. Which meant no school this whole week, which was awesome.As I opened the door, I saw my loving step mother in the hall closets digging out stuff. When I walked over there, I saw some of the stuff was our good china that we usually used around the holidays. Its been awhile since we actually had a nice homemade dinner for Thanksgiving since my mother passing away and everyone being so busy all the time. "Honey, I'm going to head off

Well the twist is somewhat gone, but it will be back. I promise. I want to go back to where I was but keep a certain thing going on. So please don't get mad just yet, just read on and find what I have going on.As time lead on, on what I had found out, was keeping it at bay til the right moment. But with the problem I have going on, is anything coming to an end. But for how I have seen what I've seen, it only makes the matters worse. My father, I knew something was up but I couldn't pin point it. Chris was the only one that had that idea and well after what us 3 found was true. Carlie wanted to tell her mother right away, but me and Chris didn't. I wanted to play a little game with my father and see how it should go. And Chris was stuck in the middle between me and our sister. He wanted to do both but me being the youngest and the forgotten child, I wanted my way.Chris had called Joey his best friend over and me I had called my drug friend/boyfriend over to help m
The One That Got Away chapter 9
The moment I left the shop, all I could think about was Cynthia. The look she will have after watching the video. The anger, the heartache, the disappointment of her spouse cheating on her once more. But the most important thing of all that is the fact that he done it in their home, while she was there, with their family and kids. As I drove to my mother's house, now mine, I had texted Jacob to meet me over there. I needed a fix after what just happened. And I needed it bad. I wanted this feeling to go away. All the bad that's happened in my life. My mother leaving me. Not knowing my father 1st part of my life. And still don't, because he's still gone half the time.But knowing that my siblings have to go through that all over again, hurts me the worst. I get doing it to me, because I hardly knew you but not to them.As I drove up to the house, Jacob was sitting on the porch swing waiting for me. When I got out of the car, I ran to him, where his arm were opened, ready to hug me. "S

After being gone for a few days, phone getting blown up, text message after text, I finally got back to my old self where I wanted to go back home. Not just because Cynthia had told me the words I wanted to see but I needed to go back. I needed to be loved and be by my family.But just seeing:"Honey, I kicked out your father. I done what I should have done long time ago back when I caught him with your mother. Yes, I know its sad. But after what he's done to all of us and what he done to you of all people. Especially after losing your mother, you needed a parent in your life and I know I'm not your mother, but I've helped raised you and if your willing to come back you can. I won't be mad at you if you don't."It hit the heart but I know its not her fault at all. She was more the victim as anyone of us. Her husband, the father of her children, doing them wrong all over again. Then placing his hands on his baby girl that looks dead ass like her mother. I thought that was the problem,

It felt like its been forever by now but its finally here. Its Christmas eve, our family dinner. What we call it but its kinda different since Mark is gone. As I got home, yes a little high, but enough to get the high but not show it. Cynthia was in the kitchen cooking away with some of the help, when I came in. Our head chef was taking out the hams when I popped my butt down on the island. When he sat it on the counter he addressed me like always with a smile. Walter, I loved he was the best. Always made me the best late night snack. Especially when I was a little high."Good morning Ms. Rosey." He said."Good morning Walter.""Oh good your here and early." Cynthia chimed in. "But not dressed for your best, I see." "I don't have all my nice close at the house mother. I left them here. But I was gonna take a nice hot bath and get ready here if you didn't mind?""Of course not. Its still your place. Even though your father isn't here and the judge left every

New years eve was short lived. It wasn't all that great, other than being by myself. Jacob came by and helped me get high and well the high wasn't even a high anymore. The pain was still there, just made me feel numb. Like I can see everything going slow motion, just dragging. When school started back up, I had slowly started winging myself off from doing drugs. But with Jacob, it was hard to do half the time. Joey, saw me struggling with it. He saw me crashing when didn't want anyone to see me crash. One day at lunch, I felt weak and I could barely even move. Where I had almost passed out by my locker and if it wasn't for Joey being next to me, catching me. Joey had drove me home and stayed with me and helped me for the rest of the night. He had told his parents that he was staying over with Chris and told Chris to help back him up. He didn't tell him he was with me, Chris didn't like that Joey was always staring at me. He says its creepy that his best friend is

JoeyAs I sit in the corner of the hospital room, waiting for Rosey to wake up. They put her under, to help her sleep and have her on some nutritions in her IV to help her from all the drugs she has been on. When Cynthia and her brother and sister showed up, Cynthia hugged me with a few tears running down her face, Chris was hurt and mad at the same time, Carlie, she didn't know what to say."Do you know why she done what she done?" Cynthia asked me."No, not really." I said at first. "But I'm pretty sure we all know why she did. She's gone through a lot.""It doesn't matter what shes gone through. She shouldn't have done it in the first place." Chris had kinda yelled."You be in her shoes, Chris." I said. "She lost her mother, her father. She believes her life is slipping, that no one loves her." I snapped back."We love her.""Do you? If y'all did, you wouldn't have let her move out on her own. She's young still but stubborn at heart.

The One That Got Away Author's Notes!!!!
As much as I'm loving this book, I think I'm gonna end the 2nd half of the story and write a new one. A 3rd part to it. Don't worry, Cynthia or Rosey is still gonna be the lead female in this part of the book. With the help of someone else. Can y'all guess who will it be? If no, you'll have to find out by reading more of the story.But thank you all so so so much, for sticking around with this book. Old or new. I know its taking awhile for me to update it but once I get more ideas for it I add it in a chapter. I have so much for this book, I just don't want it to end until the right time. And hopefully when that timing does come, it will be perfect with a happy ending. Or close to a good ending. Cross our fingers, especially to see how this book goes.If anyone have any ideas for up coming events or chapters please comment. Thank you and god bless.
