All Chapters of FIRE CRACKER : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

I took in tentative breaths as I stared at Tyler completely shocked. My eyes scanned his facial features as I struggled to read the emotion that was currently plastered on his face but apart from the quirky smirk and sparkle in his blue eyes.“The flash drive is with Rye,” I spoke after a while, Tyler perked up at my words, his forehead creased in confusion and a strand of his hair fell out of place.“Flash drive?” His thick voice reminded me that he was staring back at me and I should probably stop gawking. I sighed and breathed.“There’s this um… flash drive…” I trailed off. “It— it’s a footage of Alice ki—mur— hurting my dad” it was one thing to think about it and another thing entirely to say out loud. “It proves that…that she murdered him.” I bit my lip as I stared at Tyler. Deep down I was waiting for a repeat of what happened with Jared.For him to burst into laughter and completely invalidate my thoughts, A part of me needed him to hu

“I’m nervous,” I confessed before Tyler could ask, The dark-haired man snorted at my antics before he squeezed my hand and locked eyes with me.”Everything is going to be fine, Danielle.” He reassured for the millionth time. It was finally the day of my surgery and as much I would like to be one of those main characters who have their entire thoughts in one box and think with a leveled head, I was terrified inside.It wasn’t only that I was scared to lose my legs, but the fact that I would like the only opportunity I had to repay Derek if I died during the surgery. I had spent the past few hours wondering why I had agreed to something I wasn’t certain would work out. This wasn’t like me at all, but lately, a lot of things about me were changing without my permission.“What if it turns out better than you could have ever imagined?” Tyler pierced through my thoughts and I resisted the urge to jump at his thick tone. His gaze burned into my memory and I sque

“Is what she’s saying the truth?” I assumed that question was directed toward George, the man shrugged and looked away, the girl, however, looked like she had a few colorful words to add. I watched as she parted her lips to speak but Tyler beat her to it.“How long have you known about this?” He asked in a calm tone.“Two days ago.” She admitted casually as she tucked a strand of her perfect dark hair behind her ear, Tyler sighed as he glanced between them.“This was not the right place to do this.” He informed them.“I don’t think there will ever be a right place to demand that this child stop meddling in my life and doing little jobs for his dad how about you try and respect that coat you talk about.” George looked like he was going to let out a tornado but Tyler boomed and successfully stopped him.“And you?” I was painfully reminded of the fact that I was in the same space with then when I heard that, I perked up at her and o

I couldn't breathe.It felt like my entire world stopped. It was funny how countless times I had begged the world to stop for me, now it had finally stopped and it felt like I was frozen, I felt my limbs ache and my heart clenched and for a minute I forgot that it was the organ I used to breathe because it felt like my lungs had walked out on me.I could vaguely hear Tyler yelling but I couldn't move, the entire scene was painfully familiar to me. The scent of iron, the trail of blood, my inability to move or react, the isolated environment, the chills down my skin, and how the hairs on my skin rose and I knew it wasn't out of fear,Dread trailed down the edges of my spine and I felt my legs buckle beneath me, I fell right into thick red blood. My eyes traced where Charlotte had been but she wasn't there anymore and I could still hear the drowned-out voices of Cole and some other people I did recognize. I didn't know how long I had been here, but I also didn't care.I wanted to move. T

“—She can’t speak?” I drowned out Tyler’s words and fell unto a wall I hadn’t noticed. A random tear rolled down my cheeks and I bit down on my blistered lips to stop the sob that was threatening to escape my throat.“Danielle? Are you alright?” Tyler questioned and the scent of his cologne filled my nostril. My breath hitched and I struggle to focus my vision on him even though I could see doubles. I groaned and slide right into his arms instead of the ground.I wasn’t losing consciousness. Not in the least, but for some reason, it felt like I was neither conscious nor unconscious, and the more I tried to unravel it, the more I felt entangled. My airways tightened and my feet dug harder into the ground, I dug my fingers into my palm but I couldn’t feel any pressure.Dread filled me and I felt my insides twist in horror, my limbs felt like they were being weighed down by a considerably dangerous amount of bricks and my eyes struggled to stay open while the pressure on my chest increase
