“Veronica?” Beta Lily called out to her, seeing that she remained on one spot, “aren't you coming in?”Looking up from her phone, she replied,“I’m coming, ma'am.” She then slipped her phone into her bag, and hurriedly walked towards them.They soon got into Scott's room and as soon as they stepped in and he saw Veronica, he screamed her name happily.He almost jumped out of his bed but the nurses in the room at that moment were quick to hold him back.“You're not so strong yet, Scott. You need to take it easy, please.” She quickly cautioned him gently as she tucked him right back into his bed.“With the way you're screaming, one would think you've not seen Veronica in many years.” Beta Richard teased him and they all laughed.“At least someone seems to love me genuinely.” Veronica thought to herself as she made her way to Scott's side, standing by his side.“I'm glad to see that you're getting better.” The doctor commented, and Scott's parents smiled gladly.“Does that mean I can go h
“I really don't know what happened in the space of two hours, but from my observation, his vitals look completely different from what it was when I left him two hours ago.” The doctor replied, still flipping through his note pad.Scott's parents exchanged nervous glances, and turned to face the doctor once again.Beta Lily nervously held her husband's hand, her grip tightening in his. “Is that a good thing?” She asked, looking really concerned.“Yes, doctor. Is it something we should be worried about?” Her husband chipped in immediately.“Oh no. It's nothing to be worried about. What I am trying to say is that he looks much better than when I left earlier.” The doctor explained carefully.“Oh. So, he is better, right?” She asked again, to be sure of what the doctor was telling them.“Yes. He is perfectly fine.” The doctor replied, smiling. “He just needs more rest and that's all.” He added.“Then he can come home with us after that?” Veronica, who had been silent all the while, finall
SUN CREST PACK “How dare you, Beck!” His father yelled, barging into Beck's house. “How dare you embarrass and humiliate me like that? Have you lost your mind? Or have you lost your sense of reasoning?” He kept yelling angrily, the guards immediately left his presence, leaving him alone with Beck.“What is it, father?” Beck asked his already furious father.“Don't you even dare, Beck. Don't give me that bullshit!” He snapped at Beck.“But I don't even know what you're talking about, father. I really don't understand what is going on.” Beck replied, trying to figure out what his father was angry about.“You think I don't know what you're doing? You must think I'm a fool, right?” He scoffed, “Do you think I don’t know that you're trying to act innocent, and feign ignorance. Don't piss me off Beck!”“Dad, I promise you, I don't know what you're talking about.” He replied, hoping to calm his father down.“You liar!” His father snapped at him.“I'm being honest, father. I don't know what
FIRE DAWN PACK THREE MONTHS LATER“Phew. I can't believe we're finally done with this community service. This has been the longest three months of my life.” Megan said, as they walked slowly to Steve's house.“I also hope my dad lets me off the hook too.” She said, thinking out loud. “I've really missed going out whenever I want, I hope he ‘ungrounds’ me.” She rolled her eyes, as she kept talking to the unattentive Steve.“Also, I’ve been so bored and miserable without my phone and my other gadgets. Ughhh” She grunted as she complained.“Anyway, thank you for making the past three months easy for me. I don't want to imagine what it would have felt like without you being there.” She continued talking, not paying attention to if Steve responded or not.“To be honest, I think I would have collapsed at some point.” She added. “You and I know that I'm not built for any menial or hard labour.” She said, examining her hands, and she then chuckled.“But Steve, do you think your dad has finall
“Wait, what?” Steve stood shocked and lost for words.At that moment, he didn't even understand what was going on. “What are you talking about? What is this?” He asked, looking as confused as ever.“How could you choose Veronica over me? How could you?” She yelled at him again, throwing him into further confusion.“Choose her over you?” His head snapped back in confusion, “What does that even mean?” Megan's eyes flashed in anger as she snapped at him,“Don't even try to play dumb with me, Steve. Stop the pretense!”“Look, Megan, you're not making any sense. What is all this? What are you going on about?” Megan’s eyes soon blazed with tears. “You're really choosing her over me, aren't you?” Her voice cracked, as she asked again.Steve's expression softened, unaware of the depth of Megan’s emotions, and unable to understand why she kept repeating the same words. “Megan, what is all this? You've been repeating these same exact words for the past few minutes. What exactly is the matter?
For hours after Megan left, Steve sat in a chair, still dumbfounded, and unable to compose himself. He couldn't wrap his head around what had just happened. He couldn't believe that the one true friend he had literally all his life was in love with him and he didn't know.“Damn! I'm such a fool. I really am.” He muttered to himself, beating himself up about it.Even though they fought and disagreed about a lot of things, a lot of times, he still really cared about Megan, and always looked out for her all the time, and she did the same too, or so he thought.He remembered all the time when they would get into trouble when they were younger, and how they would smartly figure out a way out of every mess they got themselves into.After his mother passed away and he was depressed and hurt, Megan was the one who didn't make him feel alone, because she was always there to comfort him. And that was one of the reasons why their friendship grew stronger over the years.But now, it seemed like t
A bit surprised, he asked, “Who is the person?”“It's Master Steve, sir.” The voice replied.“Oh.” He then turned to his daughter. “I guess he is here to see you.” She shook her head in disagreement, and pulled away from her dad.“Is he here to see Megan?” Megan's dad asked the messenger.“No, sir. He specifically asked to see you sir.” The messenger answered.“Really? That's unusual.” He muttered, and looked at Megan, who looked away immediately.“Alright, tell him to wait. I'll be with him shortly.” He said to the messenger at the door, who in turn, replied, and walked away.He then turned back to his daughter, hoping to continue their previous conversation, but her expression indicated to him that she wasn't ready to say anything at that moment.Understanding her expression, he asked, “you don't want to talk now, right?” And she nodded in agreement.He sighed. “That's fine. I'll be back shortly. Let me just find out what he is here for.”He got up and left the room, while Megan cu
“Megan!!!” Her father screamed in shock as he ducked to avoid the shattering glass.“Megan! What the hell is this? What has gotten over you?” He yelled at her, and rushed to Steve who was holding onto his shoulder in pain, and staring at the furious Megan in disbelief.“How could he suddenly choose her over me? Why would he do such a thing to me after everything we have been through all these years. After all that we've shared. How can he choose a complete stranger over me?” She cried angrily.“Wait, what?!” Her father stared at her in utter shock. “So this whole anger and violence is because he chose someone else over you?” He couldn't believe what he had just heard his daughter say.“Oh my goodness! I thought I raised you better. I can't believe this.” He said with so much disappointment.He turned to Steve who was still writhing in pain.“Are you okay?” He asked, and immediately Steve lifted his hands off his shoulder, Megan's father’s eyes widened in shock at what he saw.Steve's
“Dad, I don't know what is going on. He suddenly coughed out blood, and now it seems like he is not breathing.” She panicked, her voice shaking with fear. Tears, pouring out of her eyes.“Dad, I'm in trouble. I killed him.” She screamed in terror.The guards soon rushed into the room, and were taken aback. The sight before then wasn't something they had thought they would see.“Sir, we should take him to the Pack Hospital. He might have just slipped into unconsciousness.” One of the guards said in a rush.“Yes, yes. Let's take him to the hospital. Carry him gently, please.” He ordered them, and they got to work immediately.“Please get up, ma'am.” They said to Megan, who had Steve's head on her lap.Seeing that Megan didn't move, and was still holding on to Steve, her father yelled at her. “Get up Megan!” She jerked in fear, and got up.The guards then went ahead to carry Steve gently, and headed outside the house, while Megan and her dad followed closely behind them. They soon got to
