Semua Bab FIRE CRACKER : Bab 91 - Bab 100

"Hi," I whispered as I locked eyes with the boy, he broke eye contact and looked away, I watched as he grabbed a fistful of the white sheets and squeezed it, while his eyes stung with fresh tears."Trace," It was Tyler's voice, it sounded forced and strained, I watched as the man took tentative steps towards the boy but was barely able to make it to the mop of brown curls when the boy croaked out."She's gone isn't she?" I almost stumbled but I gripped the wall for support. I could feel my insides rumble with a sensation that was foreign and nauseating. "Trace, I —" "You didn't save her." He shot a glare at Tyler with a sharp tone. "She trusted you and you couldn't save her." He continued. His voice was hoarse and low but it pierced daggers into my chest even though I wasn't the one it was directed at."And all because of her." My forehead creased as his eyes landed on me, He stared accused and it reminded me of Rye, I sucked in a sharp breath. Everything was happening too fast."No

"What are you even saying?" I asked and felt my face contort in confusion. What was she on about and how in the world did she end up on that trail of thought?If anyone knew how much I loved and cared about Derek, It was Rye. She knew. We suffered together, she knew how much I suffered when he died when he was murdered and I felt something bubble inside of me at the fact that she thought I was capable of it."Don't deny it," Her voice was low and void of any emotion I recognized. She took another step toward me. "For years..." She trailed off and a tear rolled down her cheek. "For so many years, I lived away from my father, I grew up with someone else, I even lived in the streets at one point." I bit my lip as she sucked in a deep breath and shut her eyes, They snapped open and she locked eyes with me."Then my father finally came back to me." She took another step toward me, the sound of her footsteps was loud and clear in my ears and I could see how she was visibly shaking. Tears st

It did not make sense.None of this made sense and as much as basically seventy percent of the things that have happened in my life made sense, this particular day took the trophy crown and everything in between.“…I can’t believe that just happened…” I could barely hear Tyler over the sound of my heavy footsteps as I paced to and fro the living room, my insides twisted and turned and I could feel my chest tightening up. I bit down on my lip and tugged my hair as I ran over every possible reason as to why things had turned out this way.From my peripheral vision I could see Leonardo tossing a coin to the roof and barely catching it each time, Tyler was brewing himself coffee — something that painfully reminded me of how stressed and panicked he must be.“I don’t understand any of this.” He spoke and sipped his coffee. I froze on my steps and bit down on my lips harder, tears stung my eyes and I tugged harder on my hair. Neither Tyler nor Leonardo interfered this time.I was sure they

“J-Jared?” I sputtered.“Danielle! I need your help! Please help me!” He begged with glistening eyes.“Ho— How did you get in here?!” I asked as I tried to stand up but he pulled me down. “Please! She’s going to kill me—” He cried as he tugged on my hand. I glanced frantically at the door, Why had Tyler or Leonardo not come in?“Who's going to kill you?!” I asked as I tried to pull away from him, but the hair on my neck stood and it suddenly felt like I was in some weird horror movie. I eventually pulled away from him and slammed him into the wall, I struggled to breathe as I stared at his distressed form. “I- I didn’t want it to go this far, I promise Danielle, This wasn’t the plan.” He expressed in a sorrowful tone. “What’s going on?” I whispered with my hand over my chest, I was still struggling to deal with how weird this whole situation was, and most importantly. How he got in.Silence reigned for a few seconds before Jared licked his lips and locked eyes with me “Alice is g

I shut my eyes and tears rolled down my cheeks, my insides twisted and my entire body shook as I slide to the ground. It had been approximately three hours since the paramedics had left. Since the detective and his friend walked through the doors.Now I was all alone. I was alone in my home and it had never felt this big, the thick scent of iron invaded my nose too many times to count, I curled into myself and rocked back and forth.I needed something to distract myself with. Something I could do — Something to take this pain away. But I knew grief better than any other man and it did not work that way. Grief and I were like friends because I was constantly losing things. Somedays people, Other days the will to live.That day, as I sat alone, resting on the wall, I realized that I had loved him. I loved Jared. I waiting for him for three long years. I waited for him to come back — With this sick mentality that once he was here everything would be alright. But of course, That wasn’t
