FIRE CRACKER THINGS HAPPENED OKAY? (49)
I spent the remainder of the day being shown around the new workspace, meeting my colleagues, and finally being introduced to the Head designer, His name was Marcus and he was quite a gem if I was being honest.I sighed as I slacked against the car seat, Leonardo wordlessly drove down the road, and for a few minutes we stayed quiet, no words were spoken just the sound of tires rolling against the ground and my thoughts.“Next, We’re going to the hospital,” I breathed, The day had almost taken the wind out of me but I knew I would need to recharge because with Rye? Things tend to go from bad to worse. “Is something wrong with you, Ma’am?” Leonardo asked. I raised an eyebrow at him,“It’s Miss Danielle, and no, I just need to see someone there,” I finished. Leonardo didn’t say anything after that, He just drove down the road and followed my instructions.Although I had a million questions to ask Rye about our father’s death, I also wanted to see if she was alright, the conversation coul

“Are you blind?” Rye spat in a condensing tone. “Jared here, is my boyfriend and we have been together for two months now.” She added as he walked towards her and stayed by her side.I stared at them for a few minutes, simply consuming the sight in front of me before I burst out laughing “This—“ I began as I tried to control my breathing “This is a joke right? You and him…? You look ridiculous” I pointed out,“You just sound like a jealous ex girlfriend.” Rye added and I snorted.“I was never his girlfriend,” I said as I laughed. The sight was just so pitiful and ridiculous. “But I see that you have a thing for men who like to hide behind woman. Because that’s exactly what he is doing, right Jared?” I spoke casually.“I won’t allow you to disrespect me, Danielle.” He spoke harshly.“Respect is earned Jared. And I’ll believe you when you don’t hide my eighteen year old sister.”“Step sister.” Rye corrected. “Don’t let her get to you Jared, She has this way of manipulating people with

“Step out of it, we’re leaving.” I spat as I got into the car, Leonardo nodded and did as I had said.I bit hard on my blistered lips and begged myself not to cry because it wasn’t worth it. Rye didn’t deserve it, She didn’t deserve any of my tears and I honestly deserved better. My eyes stung with tears and I ran my hands through my hair, it was about time I stopped letting people’s words get to me. That time was now. Right.“I need you to take me home. Did you drop off the things?” I asked Leonardo. He nodded but his gaze never left the road. He seemed to be a very responsible driver.“So how did you start driving? You know, working?” I asked awkwardly. “Oh, um, I normally participated in car races, I met Mr. Adam after one of those races and he offered me a job. The pay was really good and it was nice to not have to gamble a win even though the adrenaline was quite satisfying” Leonardo explained briefly.“Do you like the job? Working as my Driver?” I asked, I needed to get my mind
FIRE CRACKER WE’RE ROOTING FOR YOU (52)
The silence in the room was choking. I felt my lungs tighten and my fists clench, My eyes stung and my feet curled. “Danielle...” Charlotte trailed off as she held my hands tightly, I could see the gears in her head move as she struggled to think of words to comfort me.“Don’t,” I stopped her in her tracks “Don’t try to console me with false hope, or words that don’t give me an actual explanation,” I added and stood up. I could feel her eyes on me as I took a few steps forward.“Charlotte, Have you ever wanted it all to stop?” I asked, I wasn't sure why I had asked, because I knew she would not be able to understand, no over did,“What? The voices in your head or people?” My eyes widened at her response and I felt her hand around my torso. “Danielle,” Charlotte whispered into my ear, “I don’t know why or who made you so upset...” She turned me towards her and her eyes glistened. “Don’t let them get the better of you,” We were so close at the moment. If it was anyone else, I would ha
FIRE CRACKER I KNOW WHO KILLED MY FATHER (53)
Nothing made sense.Not the obnoxious voices, the thick scent of iron, or the feeling of being underwater. Everything was just so messed up and jumbled together that it made absolutely no sense.One thing was for sure though, if all my attempts in the past few years didn’t succeed, things surely would, and if this didn’t? Then I would finish the job. It didn’t happen in a flash and it most definitely wasn't done in a bang.Crap officially hit the fan when I saw the flash drive. After weeks of trying to convince Rye to tell me the truth, I almost threw in the towel and tried to get a private investigator, But that particular day when I got back home, The flash drive was there, sitting on the table.I could vaguely recall the day before that Charlotte had told me about a flash drive she found amongst my things when she was cleaning. I hadn’t been paying much attention to her words, but I recall asking her to leave it in my room on the table where I could see it, my words must have gon
FIRE CRACKER THE VISIT (54)
My eyes fluttered open and a dull ache ran through my head. I sucked in a sharp breath. I could see pale blue around me and it was for some reason sickening.I tried to speak but my lips weren't moving. My body felt like there were a thousand bricks on it and forming a complete thought at that moment felt like too much to ask.I blinked. The blue that was swallowing me up gradually became less sickening and it took me a few seconds to realize that it was the lights in the room, My breath hitched and my eyes looked around, the sound of beeping filled my ears and I became painfully aware of the mask on my face.Realization hit me at once. I was in a hospital. Intensive care specifically. The blue lights were a huge giveaway. I knew something happened to me but I never thought it was so bad that I had to be admitted into the intensive care unit.I wanted to ponder on that for a while longer but there were more pressing matters on hand, for example, why could I not move my lips? Why did
FIRE CRACKER I NEED TO LEAVE (55)
The next time I woke up, my eyes were open. The dull ache in my head was considerably reduced and I could feel my legs a bit, but couldn't move them. It took my eyes a few seconds to adjust to the familiar blue lights and also for me to realize that I wasn't alone."Danielle." The voice was sweet and it felt so good to be familiar. "Charlotte." I surprised myself as I heard my voice. I soon realized though, that she would hear me because the oxygen mask was unfortunately still glued to my face."Take it off..." I breathed. I felt my chest rise and fall. Then it warmed up when Charlotte's face came into sight. "Charlotte..." "Danielle, my love.." She cried and I assume she grabbed my hand because of the sudden pressure and warmth on it. Charlotte squeezed it. I would have given anything to be able to squeeze it back and reassure her, but I couldn't and it hurt so bad.I gradually took in her facial features, it was quite difficult because she was wearing a mask and also sporting a ho
FIRE CRACKER SHE’S CRUEL (56)
"You gave us quite the scare" This voice was vaguely familiar and I casually opened my eyes. The first thing I noticed was that the dreaded mask was no longer on my face, The second thing I noticed was that the dull ache and uncomfortable sensation in my head ad lungs seemed to be gone.I let out a sigh of relief as I felt my legs, I tried to sit up but the voice cut through my attempt "Don't, the doctor said you need as much rest as you can get, you are still recuperating." A small smile tugged at my lips when my eyes locked with pale blue orbs."Mr-Mr Disney." I croaked out. My voice came out a bit lower than I would have liked, but it was less painful than it was before."You need to stop straining yourself, Miss Hasty," Tyler commented. His naturally styled hair was a mess and I could sense his giddiness from my place on the bed, His eyes were soaked in worry and I could have sworn they glistened a bit."You honestly don't have to be here," I commented. My voice was clearer even t
