All Chapters of Love and Secrets: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Quinnel. "Bye Mom." I said. "Won't you eat breakfast?" She asked coming from the kitchen. "I know... I'm late for practice." "Regards to coach." "Kay... bye big man." "Bye." Caspian muttered eating his cereal. Today was the first day of school and yes we really do have practice... Crazy coach. I could ditch practice but I'm the captain so I can't. I entered my Corolla and drove to school passing by the Thatcher's. Standing outside was a girl whose hair was packed into two ponytails or was it quacktails? I knew it was one animal tails staring into the air with no care in the world. I drove past her and then to school. Running out of the car, I ran to the stadium. "You're late, Ashford!" Coach bellowed. "I know I know..." I said and dropped my bag on one of the bleachers. "Why were you late?" Zaire asked me after practice. "I slept in." I said and winked at him before gulping water. "Well, let's go. People are arriving! It's our last year and first day! Yayyyyy!" Zaire ye

With a furrowed brows, I continued to stare at Quinnel who was also staring at me with both hands in his pocket."Dude, what the fuck?" Was the first thing that flew out of my mouth before I could even process it."Hold on, I mean... What are you doing here?" I corrected shaking my head."Right. Can I come in first?" He asked and I blinked and then nodded."I think I saw a ladder there this afternoon, check that side." I said pointing at the wall."Oh okay." I nodded my head and then leaned on the window pane. Turning my head briefly to my room, my eyes widened."Ah geez, this ladder is heavy." He said placing it on the side of my wall.I would have asked him to climb the tree, but my room is not like the typical cliche girl having a tree by her room.Shut up, Navaeh... That's not the point right now.I turned my head back to him and he was already on the second to the last step."Stop!" I yelled holding his shoulder and he froze blinking at me."Don't look into the room. Just close

"You're here." She said flatly looking back at her plate of pasta."I'm here too!" Zaire said popping his head in front my side and waving at her.She smiled at him and waved back.It's like she likes Zaire more than me. I mean, I'm not sounding jealous or anything but really? Zaire?!"Shut up your mouth." I said pushing him to the back with my elbow."Harsh bro. Real harsh." He said and I rolled my eyes looking up to see Ashley, was it? looking at me.I raised an eyebrow at her but she shook her head looking back to her plate of pizza."Oh you got Pizza?" Connie I guess asked.Hopefully Ashley nodded her head with a smile. Something seems off about this two. Friends aren't supposed to be smiling at each other like love struck fools. Love... Shit."Are you Connie?" I asked the girl with shoulder length blonde hair. She blinked at me before nodding her head yes. "Oh shit you got it!" Zaire said fist bumping my upper arm."Yeah and Ow!" I said pushing him slightly.Everyone at the tab

Quinnel."What are you doing here?" was the first thing that jumped out of her mouth.I looked up from the picture I was holding to see Heaven standing there.I was really worried when I sent the first text and it went through but she didn't reply. She replied the second one and that was it. She didn't reply the next ones I sent.I had almost gone out to look for her but I didn't know her workplace and her sisters were asleep. I had a talk with them though. They told me about how they felt for Heaven being that she had to take care of them when she's supposed to be enjoying her own teenage life. I felt sorry for her as well. But she always say she doesn't need anyone's pity. So I try not to let it show but I'll be there whenever she needs someone to lean on and give her a shoulder to cry and sleep on when she's way too tired. So help me God."They're in bed?" I asked instead and she nodded her head moving her hand from her mouth to come near me.She awkwardly took a seat beside me a

Quinnel's POVI looked down at Heaven sleeping peacefully on the bed. I looked up at the IVF connected to her arm as she slept.The Nurse said nothing was wrong with her that she just needed rest and having lost her energy, she placed her on a dose of IVF. Zaire, Ashley and Connie left some minutes ago and I was still here.I insisted on staying with her till she was awake and ready to go home. I already took her phone and had her fingerprint unlock it. I scrolled through her contacts until my eyes landed on Koa. I checked through her call logs and found out it was Koa that called her that afternoon due to my calculations of the date and time.I called him and he didn't pick at first ring. I tried again and then he picked up talking in hushed voice."Hey baby." He said and I frowned. Baby? Who the heck is this guy? I thought they were just work partners."This isn't Heaven." I said."Heaven? Who is Heaven? Isn't this Navaeh's phone? Dude, where is Navaeh?! You had better not even thi
