31: We've come a long way

"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds." ~Albert EinsteinEli's POV"Look who we have here." The voice I know so well say from behind and I instantly become cold and I clenches my teeth together.Jaga SmithA part of me knew he was going to be around for the fundraiser, but a part of me hoped that he would passed this year event, but a devil like Jaga wouldn't miss the chance to taunt and make life harder than it already is for everyone."The three nerds." He mocks and stops walking as he gets close to us, his eyes move from every one of us until his eyes settle on me and a smirk appears on his face.My arms around Anna tightens and she must have noticed because she looks up with curiosity in her eyes. One thing about success is that once you get it, everyone thi

32: The truth about sand castles

"The truth comes out... I think when you fight you find out who you are" ~Chris WeidmanQuynn's POVI decide to take a rest in the garden after about an hour of sketching and drawing and I adjust my chair and my eyes briefly close. I don't know for how long I was out, but as I open my eyes, I see Joey with a blue plastic helmet, standing beside my chair with a mischievous look on his face. I properly glance at him and find him holding a bowl of dirt and a shovel in his hand."What do you want?" I groan loudly. Since Joey returned, he has dragged me into one problem or the other and I don't know if it's because he's having fun or if he's just trying to torment me and I didn't want to do that anymore.It is bad that I can't call Anna and tell her the major change that has taken place, being Joey returning from school because that goes a

33: Expecting to hear the worse

"Friends ask you questions; enemies question you."~Criss JamiJumai is standing and staring at me as though I have suddenly developed seven horns on my head in the last thirteen seconds and I swallow hard and stare at her in fright, expecting to hear the worse from her, maybe there was another way to do this, but Joey didn't give me much of a choice I should have known that that boy was going to be my downfall. Nothing has been the same since he came home and now here I am praying for the best but expecting the worst. To my surprise, she nods and gives me a small faint smile."Fine, let's do it," she says. "How do we get him out of the house?"Having Jumai put aside her hatred for me for one day so that we can throw a surprise party for her son is a success on my part and I didn't think it was possible.I turn around and I find J

34: Overkill for the dinner

"Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things." ~Robert BreaultGabriel and I are waiting beside the car waiting for Eli to come out of the building so I can take him home.He woke up this morning, got ready for work and I don't think he even realised today was his birthday. I wished him a happy birthday during breakfast and Joey did likewise too.He was surprised, nonetheless happy and I lean in to kiss his forehead before revealing what I had planned out. I told him we were going over to the Grand square restaurant to celebrate his birthday but pointed out that we could do something else if he wanted. He said he was okay with my plans and would close early to spend the rest of the day with me and celebrate. I told him I would come and pick him up after work so we can both go on our way.

35: Not paying you to judge

"Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do."~Voltaire"Excuse me," I tell Joey and Elizabeth and I am about to head towards where Keffi stands with her hand rubbing Eli's arm in a flirty manner when my phone begins to ring in my purse and I quickly take it out and glancing at the caller ID I realise it is Anna. I sigh and make my way out to the guest bathroom where there is privacy to answer the call.When I get there I answer the call and place it to my ear once in the bathroom."Hello, Anna."The call ends almost immediately and after waiting for a callback and not getting one, I dial back and place the phone to my ear while it rings. After its third ring, the call is picked up but instead of Anna's voice, a masculine voice comes through."Hello, who's this?""I need to speak to Anna, s

36: People like me

"There are two kinds of guilt: the kind that drowns you until you’re useless, and the kind that fires your soul to purpose."~Sabaa TahirA knock comes to my door and I don't need to be told to know who it is. It's Eli, probably here to ask why I ran away from his birthday party which I had taken the time to organise for him. He's probably here to ask questions I am not ready to answer, he's here to see reason and probably agree with whatever excuse I give because that's the type of man that he is. He's a good man and after everything I have discovered for myself, I don't think I can keep the charades up anymore.My loyalty is with Anna because she is in charge of my life until tomorrow when this is all over, but I can't help but think about the man who is being treated like a fool for loving so much. The man I keep lying to and treating like a fool even though he's d

37: Can't go home

"I make it easier for people to leave by making them hate me a little."~Cecelia AhernThe next morning I woke up with the mission in mind, playing my part until two p.m. then leaving for the railroad so I can be on time for the final switch. I took my bath and put on a purple gown so I can join Joey and Eli for breakfast one last time.After the talk I had with Eli last night, I couldn't sleep, not like I have been having good sleep in the last three week either and I'm sure the guilt of what I've done is going to hunt me many months from now.I wish I could judge Anna and expose her for what she really was, but I couldn't do that, no matter what, she still had the upper hand and telling Eli the truth would only risk Luke getting harmed and most likely killed and me getting thrown into prison by Eli and his family.A place exists

38: Runaway

"I hated myself for going, why couldn't I be the kind of person who stays?"~Jonathan Safran FoerEli's POVI carry Anna up the stairs while she clings to my neck for balance even as her eyes remain close. I have a lot of questions running through my head right now and at this point, I think that she can sense it but I am not sure she is ready to answer them.Whatever happened outside there must have shaken her to the point where she had not much strength to move or even talk and throughout the ride back home, she remained silent and when we got home a few minutes ago, she couldn't get out of the car so I took her into my arms."What happened to her?" Rosalina asks with worried eyes as she sees us.I don't know the answer to give her, because I honestly do

39: Keep you waiting

"I was always holding onto people,and they were always leaving."~Lili St. CrowA lot has changed between Anna and me in the last couple of days she was able to come out of the shell she was in and back to her old self.On Saturday, we stayed in bed almost all day, getting off to bathe and take a walk in the garden and on Sunday she agreed to come with me and grandma to church and then back to Grandma's place after the service was over, she also helped grandma out with gardening and the two women talked and laughed about God knows what. We returned home and she finally allowed me to see some of the sketches she'd made for gowns she would want to someday design. They all looked amazing and the more she let me in the more amazed I got at who she was.With my suggestion, she took the week off from work so she could stay home and Rosalina seemed

40: A traditional man

"I wonder if this is how people always get close: They heal each other's wounds; they repair the broken skin."~Lauren OliverAnna is fast asleep in my arms and though I slept earlier, I've been awake for quite a while. This intimacy has been one of the things I've missed between us and I'm glad that it is finally back. I run my hand lightly through her hair and she softly moans before turning around, her eyes flutter open and her beautiful brown eyes settle on me.A shy smile comes into her face and she buries her face into my chest, "Why are your eyes on me the first thing I see when waking up?" she demands with a cute groan and covered her face.I pull the hands away, "Because you're too beautiful to look away," I answer and I feel her shudder against me causing me to chuckle."We shouldn't be in bed at this time," she says sitting up and the bedshe
