FIRE CRACKER I NEED ANSWERS (25)
“I always knew you were a bit insane but this…” My mother said as she narrowed her eyes at me “this is a lot, even for you.” “Don’t treat me like I am crazy, I knew about the arguments you had.” Alice visibly tensed at my words. “The yelling, the whispers all of the stares you gave each other. I knew something was wrong. Did you think you were that discreet with your affairs?” “All I can gather from this is that you were a nosy little brat.” She retorted and tried to walk away but I pulled her back, she spun around and glared at me. “Your party was his last chance to salvage it all…” I continued. “But then you murdered him,” I said in a pained tone. “How could you do that ALICE? He was your husband, the only man who had treated you like royalty, who had loved you… loved me! Yet you killed him! You took him away from us!” I vocalized. “I wasn’t the one who killed him okay!” She snapped and her eyes filled with tears. “I loved Derek to the moon and back,” she added “besides, didn’t y
FIRE CRACKER RYE! (26)
I shut my eyes and licked my lips. The feeling of betrayal left a bland taste in my mouth and I could not help but wonder how many more secrets they had kept from me — from him. I needed to find out who killed my father and why? Alice claimed Rye saw him. Rye saw our father’s murderer and yet she did nothing? She was just a child though... What could she have done? When I was her age I was just trying to put myself together, Rye is doing so well in her life and she should not have to deal with all of this. Her father’s murderer and a manipulative mother. My heart ached. I still needed to speak to her though, I needed to know who killed our father and why my mother wants to protect that person. My whole life has been one mess after the other. All that I had no control over, this I do... I didn't have any control over my father’s death, back then I couldn’t do anything. Now I could. I dragged myself to my feet and increased my pace down the hall, glancing around for Rye. I knew she
FIRE CRACKER PLEASE HELP ME (27)
“Rye!” I cried as I ran over to her, the driver had sped off, leaving Rye heaving on the ground. My eyes frantically scanned her over, fear clawing on my thoughts. Her skin was pale and she looked like she could die at any moment.“Somebody help me! Someone, please help! My sister is dying!” I begged as years filled my eyes. This was not supposed to happen, it wasn’t supposed to be like this, I didn't want her to get hurt, I just needed answers! “All of this...” Rye heaved in a broken tone as her pale blue orbs glared at me “all of this is your fault, leave...” she croaked out as blood leaked from the sides of her lips.“Someone help!” I cried out. My voice cracked and I felt myself stand up at a pace I never knew I could and run after a nurse I saw passing “Please, help me! My sister is dying! Please!” I begged in a desperation-soaked tone. The nurse nodded frantically, glanced at Rye, and immediately went to alert other nurses who brought a stretcher and wheeled her in. I rushed aft
FIRE CRACKER I MESSED UP... AGAIN (28)
“It’s alright.” He shrugged as we broke eye contact, His fancy black leather jacket sat on his shoulders as he rubbed his palms together awkwardly.I sighed and sat down on one of the chairs in the waiting room, my thoughts were racing a mile a minute and I could not get Rye’s previous words out of my head, she had clearly said this was all my fault as if she dies, that’s on me.“So, um, you have a sister?” Tyler said as I glanced over at me, probably trying to make small talk, I parted my lips to give him a response when a voice rang through my head and startled me.“What did you do to my daughter?!” Alice boomed as she marched over to me, She was still clad in her hospital gown and she looked furious, anyone who saw her in plain sight would think she was a worried and furious mother but I knew better.“Look Alice, I am not in the mood—”“All of this is your fault!” She yelled at me. Rage filled her tone as she glared at me, I matched her glare as if to say ‘not here, not nowI could
FIRE CRACKER HOW DARE YOU? (29)
I went silent after those words left my mouth. My eyes stared absentmindedly at the road and a tear fell down my cheeks. My throat suddenly became dry and I resisted the urge to bite on my already blistered lips.It felt like I was taking a million steps back, but giving in was so much easier than hanging on. I was so sick and tired of having to do it all. Trying to be better every single time. I felt sorry for Derek, but right now it felt like this was the only solution to all my problems."Are you still there or did you chicken out?" Martin's husky tone dragged me black to reality, I blinked and picked up the phone that had slipped from my hands at some point."I'm right here," I confirmed in a steady tone."We've got some new ones and they are really good— Well, as long as you can afford them.""Do you have anything that can make me forget everything?" Gosh. My hands trembled and I felt like I was betraying myself."As I said, only if you can afford it," Martin replied with a chuck
FIRE CRACKER PILLS AND POTIONS (30)
“Give it back,” My voice was lower than I had expected.“No,” Tyler whispered as he glanced at the pack “Why are you taking this crap?” His voice had so much emotion in it and the more I listened to him the more I wanted to rip his head from his body.“Give me my pills and leave” My voice grew an octave higher but came out steady as I stood up at the same time. My fist tightened as I glared at him.“Did you ever even think of your mom and your sister?”His voice came out croaked “What do you know about me?” My voice came out pained and exasperated as I waved my hands in frustration. “You don’t know me! So just hand me my freaking pills and walk away!” I yelled at him.“Why? So you can pop them into your mouth and end your life?” He demanded as he stared at me with tear-filled eyes.I ran my hands through my hair and glared at him ”Yes!” I admitted. “Happy?” I questioned, “So hand them over, now Tyler!”“Look —” Before he could continue, I lunged at him and tried to grab the pills, my h
FIRE CRACKER I’M GOING TO RUIN YOU (31)
The silence in the room was choking as I glared at Tyler. My fists tightened and My forehead creased. “Danielle—”“If I take those pills, it’s not because I want to, or I feel like playing around with people’s lives. It’s because I have no better choice, okay?” I finished and headed out of the tore briskly. It must have taken Tyler a few seconds to regain himself because he was yelling my name and jogging after me a few seconds later.I ran my hands through my blonde hair as kept my pace, my mind seemed clearer than it was before and my head felt light, to be honest, this had been a very long and strenuous day and I could not wait to crash into a bed somewhere... oh, about that, I had nowhere to sleep. I also had no money as well.I mentally facepalmed. I had spent all of my money on those pills and now I had none left. What was I thinking? How was I going to survive now? Those pills were all I had. I froze in my tracks at the chaos that was going on in what I assumed was the wait
FIRE CRACKER SHE LIED? (32)
The sound of my feet hiring the ground filled the empty hallway. I needed to get to Rye fast, I needed to help her recover and then expose Alice as the monster she truly was. Even in all this, I felt some relief. Like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Because it was not my fault, it wasn’t that I was too hard to love, Alice just never knew how to love anyone and that was not my fault. My feet stomped on the beige tiles as I ran to the elevator. The relief I was feeling did nothing to drown the heavy weight of worry that lingered on my chest: Rye was in danger, she was dying. I needed to find a blood donor soon. I would need to contact Jared, he’s the only one who would help me at this point.I dug my hand into my pocket to pull out myPhone but it wasn’t there, panic hit me in waves, where had I left it? It was with me when I walked back into the hospital. I ran my hands through my hair and tugged on the tips, my scalp hurt and I tugged on my hair harder in frustration, why
