All Chapters of TRUTH OR DARE: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

This will go down as one of my best birthdays.It's midnight.Sitting in the back of the car with Damien. Windows rolled down. Cake between us. Glass of wine in his hand. Bottle of wine in my hand. Both of us tipsy. It feels like a little dream.We are laughing and talking shìt about our parents. He tells me about feeling trapped by his own mother. I tell him about my mom forcing Nat to have an abortion."What!" Damien gasps. "What kind of a mother does that to their daughter.""My mom." I chuckle. "Guess that's her love language. Killing her grandbabies.""Lucky for her Brandon killed one of them.""Dark." I burst into a laugh. "Real dark."I take a gulp of the wine, still giggling. I turn to look at Damien. His little laugh fades when he realises that I've switched to a serious face."Am I a bad person?""Why?""Because I was a little relieved about the miscarriage." I sigh. "Well, it wasn't a miscarriage but you know what I mean. I'm relieved that Brandon did what he did. Am I an a

It's been the longest night.A long flight. A shocking birthday surprise. A family reunion turned into a nightmare. Sophia's overdose. Sophia kicking me out of her room. I was embarrassed and disappointed when she kicked me out. But deep down, I was actually relieved. Thanks to Sophia, I'm inside this jacuzzi with a glass of wine in my hand and a platter of cake on the floor. Happy birthday to me!As I sip slowly on my wine, I can't help but think about last year. Life is full of surprises. A time like this last year, I was broken by Brandon's betrayal. My heart was shattered. My dreams were crashed. And my life had crumbled right infront of my eyes. Didn't know where to start. Didn't know if I would even be able to gather the strength to start. I was so lost.And then Damien happened. My dream man. He's been nothing but a big blessing. This huge house. This jacuzzi. This expensive wine. The School of Fashion. A trip to Paris. Everything I have is because of him. Everything!Can't b

The coffee date lasts for about fifteen minutes before Natalie storms out of the restaurant in a rush.I leap from the seat and dash to Nate's table. He still has that big smug grin on his face."So what do you think?" He wiggles his eyebrows. "She's hot, right?""She's married!" I blurt out.Okay, that's not how I was planning to share the secret. And that's not the reaction I thought I would get from him. He's still smiling as he leans over the table."I know she's married." Nate says. "She told me that herself. And she also has a two-month old baby. And her husband is the primary caretaker as she goes to work. But she's unhappy in that marriage. And she's getting a divorce.""That's a lie!" I blurt out. "She didn't seem like someone who was getting a divorce at the dinner!""What dinner?"There's a stretch of awkward silence between us, his eyes sharp on me."Natalie is my sister." I admit. "We were recently at a family dinner for my birthday. She was there with her husband and the

We are seated around the bonfire.We just had the most delicious barbecue and ate the most delicious cake. I'm full from the food. Now we're all just chilling and drinking and speaking in slow tones with hush music in the background.Atleast now they are wearing coats and sweaters and scarves and socks. I don't know how they were surviving in their summer outfits. The night is cold.Everyone looks so happy and warm in the arms of their lover. George with Gina. Liam with Lucille. Ethan with Miranda. Me with Damien. Vanessa with Sophia.This party has pumped life back into Sophia. She looks brighter and happier and vibrant and full of life. A lot of it has to do with Vanessa. I'm just wondering why she didn't drag her husband to the party."Let's play a game!" Gina proposes, flipping back her dark hair as she grins at everyone."Yes!" George chimes in. "Let's play a game! Truth or Dare!""No!" Gina rolls her eyes. "We are not a bunch of high-school kids. Let's play a more mature game."

A lot has happened since George's party.George filed for divorce. He found out that his two kids are not actually his biological babies. Gina has been cheating on him their entire marriage with her high-school sweetheart. And the two babies belong to him. George has officially moved back to the country. He's currently living with us as he hunts for a place. It was Damien's idea that he comes to live with us because he's going through a rough time. I'm not sure that was a good idea because he rarely gets out of his room. He doesn't eat unless Damien forces him. He's been living with us for the past few weeks but we only talk on rare occasions. Maybe when Damien has forced him to join us for dinner. Or when I bump into him in the kitchen. We've never talked about his wife's infidelity. I've been there before and I know what that kind of betrayal can do to you. Sometimes I really feel like talking to him and consoling him but he clearly needs silence and space. A lot of space.Liam and
