LET’S DO THIS (64)
“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 squeRelated chapters
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
FIRE CRACKER RESPONSE (70)
“—She can’t speak?” I drowned out Tyler’s words and fell unto a wall I hadn’t noticed. A random tear rolled down my cheeks and I bit down on my blistered lips to stop the sob that was threatening to escape my throat.“Danielle? Are you alright?” Tyler questioned and the scent of his cologne filled my nostril. My breath hitched and I struggle to focus my vision on him even though I could see doubles. I groaned and slide right into his arms instead of the ground.I wasn’t losing consciousness. Not in the least, but for some reason, it felt like I was neither conscious nor unconscious, and the more I tried to unravel it, the more I felt entangled. My airways tightened and my feet dug harder into the ground, I dug my fingers into my palm but I couldn’t feel any pressure.Dread filled me and I felt my insides twist in horror, my limbs felt like they were being weighed down by a considerably dangerous amount of bricks and my eyes struggled to stay open while the pressure on my chest increase
FIRE CRACKER DEAD ENDS (71)
"Coffee?" I heard Tyler ask. He had been holding a cup of coffee in front of me for a while now, I blinked. "I made it just the way you like it." He added.I shook my head casually and ran my hands through my hair. "Everything is going to be fine." Tyler comforted me in a low tone, I would have let out a sarcastic laugh and told him just how much everything would not be fine if I hadn't lost my voice.He didn't say anything after that, We simply stood by the lobby while Leonardo sat down in the waiting room. I marched over to the lobby willingly, my legs had started doing those things they always do; Walking without my permission."The detective we hired gave me a response tonight." My eyes snapped up at Tyler and he stared back at me with heavy dull blue orbs. I felt guilt knock at the door of my heart and I could not help but feel that all of this was in one way or another my fault."He found Mathias's apartment," My eyes widened and I licked my lips as I stared at him in expectation
FIRE CRACKER THIS IS CRAZY (72)
I ran my hands through my hair for the millionth time and tapped my foot against the ground. The revelation concerning Alice and Mathias was what led us to search for him and now, He was dead.I wasn’t even sure that Rye knew he was dead and the fact that he died three years ago, sent chills down my spine, everything, every single event that lead right to Alice concerning my father’s death, Happened three years ago when he was m murdered.I wondered if it had all been related, I felt like I was missing something, something very important but I couldn’t wrap my head around what it was. “Do you want to sit?” Tyler asked. I shook my head and bit down on my lip.“I was thinking…” He began and I glanced at him. “Shouldn’t we see a doctor about your voice? It could be serious.” He whispered before he tore his gaze from me. Ever since the incident with Charlotte, it felt like he had been walking on eggshells around me and I had no clue why.Tyler sighed loudly and I perked up at that, He re
