FIRE CRACKER I’M READY TO GET MY LEGS BACK (62)
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
FIRE CRACKER ONE IN TEN PERCENT (63)
“How do you feel today?” Tyler asked as he strolled into my hospital room, He had a plate of what I assume was my breakfast and Charlotte was right behind him, a small smile played on her lips and her nude lipstick made me crave makeup for the first time in a while.“I assume he filled you in on my decision to undergo surgery?” I said as she took a seat and Tyler placed the small table on the bed, in front of me. I sighed as I glanced from the food to the two people in the room “What did George say?” I asked.“He said a specialist will be coming today to check you out and choose a date for the operation,” Tyler informed me. I forced a tight smile. “This is the best decision you could have ever made.” He assured me, I rolled my eyes.“I need to get out of here as soon as possible,” I responded sharply. “Were you able to get what I asked for?” I had directed my question to Charlotte who seemed to have been engrossed in her thoughts. I wasn’t the only one who noticed

“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
FIRE CRACKER GUILT AND SIBLINGS (65)
The surgery was a success. For someone who was quite pessimistic, it had been a great push to shift my faith a bit. The truth was, the whole process had just begun. I spent the next few weeks guilt-tripping myself while I struggled to learn how to walk all over again.Tyler never left my side as I went through the physiotherapy, He supported me every step of the way and even tried some exercises by himself. He was always there to remind me that all my effort would pay off. He told me that I was trying my best and every single effort I put in was a step closer to getting justice for Derek.Boy, He had no clue how far those words of encouragement took me. We got to know each other better over these past few weeks, I found out more about his sister, Matilde, She had died of an overdose after she was sent to a hostel in Germany.Tyler told me that she struggled with severe anxiety disorders and trauma from their mother’s death, which she appeared, never a

“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
FIRE CRACKER SCENT OF IRON (67)
Therapy sucks.Any form of it, it’s not fun, it’s not entertaining. The only thing that is it — is extremely useful because nothing felt better than walking on my two feet for the first time in three months.“Another step forward, there you go, Miss Hasty.” Tyler encouraged me as I took tentative steps toward him, It was the first time in two weeks that I would be walking without crutches or leg braces or the accursed wheelchair.“I’m doing it Tyler, I’m doing it.” My voice had wavered as I spoke with watery eyes. Tyler nodded and smiled. That had been Five days, Fifteen hours, Thirty minutes, and forty-five seconds ago. We had just arrived at my house and I was sitting in the car with an overwhelming feeling bubbling inside of me. Tyler squeezed my hand and reassured me with a grin. I nodded and could feel my wavy hair bounce a bit.“Are you ready?” Tyler had asked after a while. It was funny how I had been waiting for this moment for the past five months that I had been stuck in tha
FIRE CRACKER SOMEONE I LOVED (68)
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
FIRE CRACKER I CAN’T SAVE EVERYONE (69)
I slowly nodded my head in confirmation and watched Leonardo’s hands smack before his sides. His eyes filled with fresh tears and I wiped them away and let out a fresh breath.“Why is all of this happening? Charlotte… now you?” He questioned as a tear rolled down his cheek, I swallowed and pulled him into a hug.“What have we ever done to anyone?” His voice cracked and I held him tighter. These were questions I had asked myself over and over again and I had even asked Charlotte at a point.I could never understand why bad things happen to good people, people who wished no harm to anyone. People who just wanted to be happy. I retrieved the paper from his hands and scribbled on it. Leonardo stared at it for a while before he shook his head continuously.‘I won’t let you drive in this state I scribbled again and gave him a look that screamed ‘don’t test me.’ I and Leonardo had warmed up to each other over the past month when he received the news of his parent’s death. Apparently, they h
