Tick. Tick. Tick.I watch the clock on the wall strikes an hour since my arrival and I’m thankful for the ticking of the hands being the only noise in my roomWhy would Leo put me here? I’m not crazy. Claire is the problem. I curl my knees up to my chest and hug them tightly as I sit in the luminous lighting against the cold wall touching my bed.“I have to get out of here.” I whisper to myself as if someone would even hear me.“You can leave these walls but I will never leave your side.” I hear the echo of my mother’s voice.“What the hell do you want from me? You’re dead. You’ve been dead.” I say in snarky tone as I look into her cold eyes. She stood at the end of my bed.“I want you to confess.” She says gravely.“What would I have to confess?” “That you killed your own mother.” “I’m not doing that.” The memory of a corpse was not going to convince me to confess to killing my mother. I turn away from her and face the wall as I lay down. “You don’t exist. You’re just a figment of

I wake up early and head downstairs where I can smell an amazing breakfast brewing. I’m met in the hallway by Jas who seems to have woken from the same heavenly scents.“Wait, you’re not making breakfast?” She looks at me confusingly as I return the same glance back at her.“Jas, I can’t cook. I thought it was you.” I say with a shrug.“Well, I’m not that great of a host.” She shrugs as we both think and reach a moment of realization. Was Claire cooking? We rush down the stairs in unison to find Claire adorned with an apron that covers only the front of her pregnant belly as she takes some bacon off of the griddle. On the table, there is an array of foods. Waffles, pancakes, bacon, sausage, maple syrup and French toast. We watch in silence as we see her continue to pull food from the griddle and plate it. It isn’t until she tries to move the plates to the table that she notices us. She jumps for a moment and then lets out a small smile.“I didn’t know you were guys were standing there

I see Claire almost cowering in a corner as I step inside to see what was taking the girls so long. She was standing in a corner, holding her belly and seemed out of breath. I ask her if she’s okay and drop the bags to hold her. The only thing I thought that would help.“Did someone threaten you?” I ask as I look around us.“Can we go home?” She asks in a squeak as she clings to my chest, burying her face.“Of course. Let’s just get Jas. Okay?” What happened to her? We walk to the front, Claire on my right as I hold a protective arm around her shoulders and a mountain of bags in my left hand. Jas comes bouncing over.“They have it. I’ve already paid and it’ll be delivered later today!” She drops her enthusiasm as she takes a look at Claire.“Claire?” She looks just as concerned as I did.“Claire wants to go home.” I say strictly.“Okay, let’s go.” Jas stand at her other side and locks arms with her as we walk out of the store. We make it to my car and I help Claire in before putting t

I’ve kept myself busy at work after what happened with Charlotte. I just can’t wrap my head around her disheveled appearance or her manic behavior. Did I really do this to her? I walk back to my office after a very big meeting for an upcoming contract when I hear my phone ring. It was Mason.“Is everything alright?” I ask quickly as I answer. With Charlotte being on a psych hold, I didn’t expect to hear from Mason for a few days.“We may have another issue.” “What is it? Did something happen to my boys?” The anxiety quickly sets in as I wait for a response.“No. Something’s happened to Claire.” My body freezes and I feel a jolt of electricity race through my spine.“Where is she?!” I hear my voice raise in anger.“She’s at Jasmine’s house. She was out shopping for baby items today when she met a woman that goes by the name Julia.”“Julia? Charlotte doesn’t know a Julia.” I reply as I try to piece things together in my head.“That’s the thing. She doesn’t know Julia but Julia is very

After Mason left, I sat in the living room pondering and thinking about my interaction with Julia. If she had wanted to hurt me, she would’ve had the perfect opportunity to do so. I was cornered, alone and defenseless. Not to mention- I’m pregnant. But she chose to share information about her son’s father with me and seemed to dislike Charlotte. She even offered for me to call her in the event that charlotte chose to make another appearance.Was this a trick?I couldn’t decide when recounting the events to Mason so I decided to keep the fact that she had given me her number a secret for now. She may actually want to help me.“Hey, I know shopping didn’t go as planned but how about we take a dip in the pool. I read that hydrotherapy is extremely good for you and the babies.” Jas tries to convince me as I sit lost in my own thoughts.“I don’t have a bathing suit.” I had grown a lot quicker this time around so anything fitted would not fit.“Oh, I’ve taken care of that.” She pulls a one-
