All Chapters of Reading Mr. Reed: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

LACYWith Uncle B, Aunt Coral and Macy gone to work it left me alone in this small house. Being alone made the house seem so much bigger. I was undeniably bored.Uncle B phoned during the course of the day to check up on me. Actually, I wasn't sure if he phoned too check up on me or if he phoned to check if his house hadn't been burnt down yet due to my pathetic cooking skills.He wasn't too far from home anyway. He worked in a near by precinct as a homicide detective. He had seen some pretty wicked stuff over the years of working as an officer of the law. The things people did never ceased to amaze me and for what? Petty things like money?Okay! So money isn't so petty but I wouldn't kill for it. I had seen first hand what money could do to a person. My father's inflated ego was a good example of what money could do to a person. My father thought that there was no one in this world

LACYI was mentally and physically exhausted. My body was practically running on caffeine and so was Uncle B's. We hadn't slept the entire night and even though we left Aunt Coral at home to get some rest I was almost certain she hadn't gotten much sleep either considering she would phone up every ten minutes to check on how things were going.We couldn't take Macy home. We had to wait till they set bail for her and then pay that bail and that would only happen during normal working hours. No matter what position uncle B held at this moment he was completely and utterly helpless and I couldn't help but think that I was to blame for this.Macy would have never retaliated like that if she didn't feel as if I were threatened. I should have just told her to stay out of it. I blamed myself and for all I knew, uncle B and aunt Coral probably blamed me too.I laced my fingers behind my head, slouchin

LACYLucifer's leg taped excessively as we sat in the waiting area of the hospital. The doctor didn't allow us in with Rose because she had a few questions to ask her and it was understandable. All those visible marks on her made me wonder what else those malicious people did to her.Uncle B practically had to hold Lucifer back so he didn't kill that unsympathetic woman for her gruesome actions. She didn't even show a single drop of remorse. It got so much worse when Uncle B hauled her down to the station and she yelled, 'That dumb bitch deserved every bit of what she got!'The moment that ratchet woman allowed those words to fall from her lips I felt the need to rip out each of her hairs one by one. No one deserved that type of treatment, especially not a child! I felt like letting Lucifer kill her wouldn't be such a bad idea after all. There would be no loss to mankind.I w

LACY"You have got to be shitting me!" I drawled out as Macy did a 360-degree turn to show off the hideous dress she chose to wear for my wedding. My eyes nearly rolled out of their sockets and if my mouth had to open anymore I was certain my jaw would dislocate."I shit you not," she grinned a bit too excitedly, "What do you think?"I stared at the dress, analyzing it from top to bottom in a slow manner to take in every inch of the ugly detail. I knew Macy had a soft spot for pink but this dress looked like it belonged in a circus.The dress hugged Macy's waist. It was sleeveless with baby pink material covering the torso and had been decorated in an intricate red and gold rose design which ended just above her thighs. The bottom of the dress had alternate colored frills of yellow and pink, and the trim of the dress was a pink satan that swept the floor. A yellow scarf accompanied the dress w

LACYWednesday, halfway through the week, which meant that there were only three and a half weeks left for my wedding to take place. Although the wedding felt like a total sham, it still gave me as much stress as any normal wedding would.There were so many types of cards to choose from. So many designs and so many fonts. Brian insisted on doing everything on a grand scale so this wedding was going to be out of this world.I never wanted an extravagant wedding. All I really needed was a few family and friends and of course, I needed the groom to be there. In this case, if the groom didn't show up I wouldn't be so heartbroken.At the rate Brian was going, his entire workforce would be attending our wedding including his and my family. Luckily for me, I didn't have friends but Brian had an uncountable amount who would also be attending the wedding.He didn't hesitate to spend mon
