I already know the ring I am getting specifically made for you " he tells me looking at my soul with those eyes ,God he's serious about the wedding thing I thought I had too much morphine when he mentioned it in the hospital."I thought...I thought you were not serious about that your mom just died my dad's wife ,what about our siblings what we going to say to them " he moves so fast I don't have time to react standing so close to me I feel his warmth he puts his forehead on mine we breathing the same air my h
LaneyI am woken from my sleep by a loud noise realising it's my phone I sit up its my best friend Alison who I haven't really spoken too since I came back here.I feel a present besides me and almost jump out of my skin when i realise Zach is asleep in my bed , sleeping like this he doesn't look like a monster he looks so peaceful so handsome his unruly hair all over the pillow the feeling of running my hands over his hair takes over."If you keep looking at me like that fiance I will think you want me deep inside of you " he says in his sleepy voice my blood freezes when I realise he just caught me looking at him like he's my lover , I don't really like him I don't I might feel tiny bit of feelings for him that's it I am still terrified of him I have to get away I really need to.My phone rings again I get off the bed he shoots up in bed drags me back by my sleeping shirt I whimper I am still not healed as I fall right back on the bed."what the hell Zach " Answer your damn phone wi
ZachAfter this morning situation Laney has not spoken a single word to me I know she's mad but I will buy her another phone its just a phone.I decide then that maybe I should Suprise her with a small intimate wedding this evening I even know a person who can pull it off.I know she's going to fight me on this as much as I enjoy fighting tonight I want us to say our vows in peace ,I want our family to see that we in love that I will take care of her and our son And the only way I can get her to go along with the wedding is to use our son.I really don't want to I really don't but I don't have a Choice with a plan in mind I call my cousin who I don't really like she's married with kids and is a good mother she can take care of Blake for a few days while Laney and I get married who knows maybe a honeymoon.Her phone rings just once when she answers "What ?" Hi cousin nice to hear from you too" what do you want Zach?" Well I have news' for you I hope you sitting down Samantha because w
Laney I have to get out of this house I have to leave this town I keep repeating it in my head maybe if I tell my Dad he will help me. I don't want Zach to hurt him or our Siblings God knows how far he will go to keep me.My other option is the one he gave me stay here marry him can I really do that I look at the ring in my finger which he shoved bruising my finger in the process, I just can't have this psychopath raising my son with a clear mind and a plan I go down stairs.I hear voices down stairs I know Dad is home and my siblings but there is voices I don't recognise I come to a dead stop when I find people decorating our living room setting it up to what it looks like a wedding? But who's getting married." you like it ?" A voice whispers in my head the white roses full on display are beautiful I can count the chairs as it will be a few guests I turn to a smiling Zach " Yeah Uhmm it's okay " I am glad you love it your dress will be here in an hour " my eyes almost jump out of m
I look myself in the mirror I love so beautiful in this mermaid wedding dress I just wish I was doing this for love not being under duress or being forced.My father walks in a minute later "Oh honey look at you " I smile at him hiding the pain hiding what I am going through.He holds out his hand walking me out of the room " Are you ready for this ?"I look at him "I am Dad" I say with a forced smile "Honey is there anything you want to say you doing this because you want too Zach is not forcing you " I hold his hand a bit tighter." I am fine i promise Zach will treat me well" he better or he has me to deal with " we both Smile as we walk down stairs Zach standing down the stairs his eyes fixed on me the green more prominent he smiles the smile that reaches his ears.Maybe I can change him if I go along with what he says maybe I can do this. Once we reach down the stairs he holds out his hand as my Dad gives me to him" you the most beautiful woman I have ever met " he says that like
LANEY"I can't believe you are officially twenty one we going to get shit faced tonight "my friend Alison says "bitch I can't wait I even want to get laid "so you climbing that chocolate mountain tonight ?"she asks wiggling her brows I smile "yes we have been going out for two months already I need it " she laughs while I put on the final touch ups on my make up.A knock comes at my bedroom door "come in "I say my stepbrother Zach steps in his unruly jet black waves come to his eyes which are framed by thick black glasses hiding the true colour of his eyes sometimes they green or blue I am not sure."Zack Hi "uhmm i just wanted to give you this and say Happy birthday " ah thank you baby brother "he winces as I say that looking down at his shoes he gives me a small matte blue Milton's box I open I see diamonds earrings they look expensive "oh my God Thank you they beautiful "Alison comes up to take a look at them "yeah they pretty you going to make a good boyfriend when you grow up h
LANEY"Shut up and get in my truck or I will shoot him right here " it takes a minute to register what he's saying to me this is sweet Zach my stepbrother for the last four years who's seventeen just beat Devon's ass bloody."Zach what do you think you d..." A loud bang interrupts my sentence as Zach shoots Devon in the leg "the next one goes to his head " he's serious I have never seen him like this or without glasses I look back I see his truck parked there which means he followed us I walk slowly to it my heart beating out of my chest oh my God Zach just shot Devon what is he going to do to me.He follows me grabbing my arm in a vice grip as he walks us faster to his truck he throws me in the front seat he comes to the driver's seat and takes off I look back at Devon he's still laying down at this point I am so shocked I don't know what to say to him.He drives quietly for a few minutes leaving town as we drive to our house that's when he takes a detour to the dirt road that leads
LANEYI have been up for hours replaying the events of last night, eventually Zach did call help for Devon , Alison called me asking if I was okay as Devon was robbed and shot I couldn't bring myself to tell her the truth what happened yesterday all I said is I went home I tried calling Devon to no avail.The Milton's own Jewellery stores all over the country they rich,rich my father met Melissa when Zach was young they got married at eighteen I came to stay with them as they promised to pay my collage tuition although my stay was not welcome since my father was white and my mother was black Melissa couldn't hide her displeasure but my father loves me she didn't have choice.My bedroom door opens Zach walks looking completely different from the monster he was yesterday wearing a dress shirt ,black slacks and blazer his school uniform yeah he's still in highschool "Mona says you haven't left your room today are you okay ?"
