VictoriåI was now back at home. After the Love Locks Bridge, we went out to lunch then back to the hotel to pack our belongings. Nathan started crying as they dropped me off, acting as though we wouldn't be seeing each other at school in a few days.Right now I was sitting in my bedroom, thinking of ways that I could try to help Milo find his long lost son and ex-girlfriend. As I did so, there was a knock on my front door and I placed my pen down and walked downstairs.As I peeked through the hole, my heart fluttered as I saw Theo standing there next to two people I thought I'd never see again."I missed you guys." I said as I opened my door and hugged Damien and Ryder tightly.They hugged me back just as tightly and when I looked at them. My eyes drifted around, searching for Landon but as I saw dozens of Landon's men standing outside with their heads bowed,I knew.I shook my head, not being able to believe this and Damien nodded sadly, a burn on the right side of his neck."He wen
Victoria I leaned my head against the door as the vehicle started moving.It drove through the night and I watched all of the trees and houses as we passed by. We drove past the Diner where I first started learning how to maneuver my way around Landon's silence. His face kept flashing in my head and I realized that he had never once smiled. He never laughed either. He'd only let out a short chuckle here and there. The SUV pulled up to the front of the hospital and they got out, opening my door for me and helping me out before shutting it. I walked up to Theo and he looked down at me, waiting for me to speak."Can you come in with me? You don't have to stay if you don't want to." I asked hopefully and he nodded with a small smile."Anything for you, Miss Rhee." He replied, snapping his fingers as he began walking and when I walked behind him, two guards followed.We went inside and I stopped at the receptionist. "Hi, I'm just here for a check-up with Doctor Hershel." I told him sof
VictoriåFor the next few days I tried busying myself with literally anything so that I didn't have to think about my problems. My health started going down the drain rapidly and I hid it as best as I could.I had a lot of gigs recently and right now, I was sitting in front of a camera as I was interviewed. My makeup and hair was done and I was positive that if my hair was any tighter, my eyes would become just two small slits on my face ."What was your childhood like?" The interviewer asked and I smiled."My childhood wasn't the best. But that's not what I focus on. Because even though it was bad, there were still some good aspects about it." I replied, trying my best to not give out too much personal information and she nodded."Great answer." She told me. "Did you ever think you'd become this Popular, this quickly?" She continued and I shook my head."I didn't think that I'd become Popular at all. I was just so shy and introverted, you know?" "Are you in a relationship?" She ques
Victoria "You always smell so nice." He pointed out and I pushed him away."You've been sniffing me?" I asked and he placed his thumb and index finger close together."Just a little." He smiled, but it was clear to me that he was still hurting inside. He was very close to his brother, after all.The bell rang again and I went into my Math class, sitting next to Ryder and staring at the board ahead of me."I miss him." Ryder acknowledged. "Everyday for school since we were kids we'd eat breakfast together," he sighed, looking at his desk blankly."Today was the first morning I ever ate alone." He looked over at me when he finished and I placed my hand on his shoulder."If you need me to eat breakfast with you every day until we grow old and die, I will." I said and he looked over at me, a smile growing on his face.He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me into a side hug as we sat, burying his nose in my hair."You're the greatest, Rhee." He replied, his hand rubbing my ot
Victoriå"What? What about school?" I asked , staring back at him as if he were a lunatic and he just smiled."I need to find my son, Rhee. Fuck school." He replied, pulling away and already walking to the door."Promise you'll come back?" I asked and he stopped in the doorway, turning and giving me a look that showed me that he knew exactly why I was asking this and he came back over, pulling me into another tight hug."I'll come back." He assured me, patting my back before walking to the door again. "Text me the address."And that was it. Just like that he was gone again, out on a journey to find his son and potentially reconcile with his ex-girlfriend. I was happy for Milo. This was going to be a big change in his life for the better and I knew that he was excited as well.Going over to my door, I shut it and leaned against it then slid down to the floor. I pulled my knees to my chest and buried my face in it, letting out a breath.Here it was again. The feeling of impeccable lonel
Victoria I felt like passing out as my legs wobbled. I took a few steps closer, still in disbelief and he pushed himself off of the car. He lifted his arm slightly, a small gesture that was a big thing coming from him. Then it finally set it.I started running and his arms opened wider, knowing what was coming. I ran right up to him and lifted my hand, slapping him across the face. His face didn't even change and his head didn't move."That's for leaving me." I said, walking back over to the guards before wiping my tears. "Okay, let's try this again."I ran up to him, hearing Theo chuckling in the background. I jumped, wrapping my arms around his neck tightly and my legs squeezed his torso.I then buried my face in his neck and the tears began pouring. I was hugging him so tightly that he didn't even need to hold me up. Within seconds his neck was soaked with my tears, his shirt was beginning to get soaked."I thought you left me." I whispered and his hands gripped my thighs, holdin
LandonShe sighed quietly, still staring out at the back yard. She seemed as though she was thinking; formulating the right questions to ask before finally speaking. "What really happened after the fire?" She asked, leaning her head back to look up at me."I got shot and ended up in the woods." I answered and her eyes widened."Are you okay?" She asked, her eyebrows furrowing and giving me a clear sign that she was worried."No. I'm dead." I responded sarcastically and she gave me a look."You weren't far from it." She shot back and I breathed out a chuckle, watching as her lips curled upward into a small smile."What took you so long?" She asked me."Took days to get out of the forest." I replied and she looked as though the rest of her questions were already answered."You scared me."Her voice came out shaky, as though she still hadn't wrapped her head around the fact that I wasn't dead.It was silent for a while and I wondered what was going on inside her head."You missed everyt
LandonShe looked to the ground, staring at it for a while before she looked back up at me, tears filling her already glassy eyes.She looked vulnerable right now and I knew that it was my fault. But I didn't care. If I kept letting her do what she wants just to spare her feelings, this wouldn't end well."I stayed in the hospital for seven months when I was six.I was alone the entire time. My dad said that it was a punishment and I'd learn from it.Every night I stayed in that cold room, trying to figure out what I did wrong and every day I'd wonder if they'd ever come back."She explained and I leaned against the counter, my eyes following a tear that slipped out of her eye."After that I never wanted to go to another hospital alone." She wiped away the tear.I knew why she told me that. She asked me to come with her that day because she didn't want to be alone and I had let her down."When I got my results I didn't even feel bad for myself. And I didn't need anyone else feeling ba
