After the emotionally charged afternoon with Cassidy, I never felt closer to her than today. It was as if something has changed in her, I felt a deep connection with her than I have ever had. Cassidy was always like a best friend to me, she is a great listener, caring, and open unlike Hannah that to her death has kept so many secrets from me, not that I can blame her. With Hannah, though I have felt forever in her, but I walked out on her because it was too much for me. We were too close too soon. We don't need words but the deep, profound feelings I felt for her are always there. Somehow, today, it seemed like what I felt with Cassidy has transcended to something much more. My feelings for both her and Hannah combined, that's what I felt in my heart right now.
We are walking down the hall towards the parking lot, holding hands and I felt like I needed to clear the air with her as to what happened the last night. "Hey Cass, I'm so sorry about last night, I must admit, Hannah
There was too much horror and heaviness in this novel that I felt the need to convey to you that as much as shit happens, true love transcends everything even death. This is such a bittersweet moment for Devon and Hannah and this is a special chapter for me. I felt goosebumps writing this and I hope you felt the emotions that I was trying to get across.
I've been staying in the mansion for a few days now, as much as I want to go back to my tiny flat in New York. I can't. I have been reading Hannah's letter over and over and I can't seem to get over my guilt. "Do you remember that day Matthew?" her words kept echoing in my mind over and over as I recall that horrid day. I kept on looking for signs of what had happened to Hannah. I just remember after that day she was not feeling well for a week. Nana Rose said she had been sick and she can't play with me because she didn't want me to be sick too. Mom would say I should focus on my homework than bother Hannah. I never thought more about it because I was just a kid too, I thought it was nothing and now, every day knowing what I know now, it kept eating me up inside. I kept thinking to myself what I could have done more. My thoughts were interrupted by Nana Rose knocking on my door. "Dear, you should get something to eat..." I looked up tenderly to her and said "Thanks Na
I sat down feeling shaken by my confrontation with Matthew. Hands shaking I poured myself a new drink. I know I fucked up but I cannot let Hannah win, the moment she came into my life everything went down in flames. I was so in love with Garret, I never knew that he will become my downfall. I thought he will be my saving grace out of my unhappy marriage and bring my family to a better life. Then Hannah happened. I thought for a moment carrying his child would mean the turn of my luck, yes my luck did turn but for the worse. I remember that night we were at The Rembrandt, we were dining in our suite and as we were just talking while drinking wine, I gently hugged him from behind where he was seated and showed him the pregnancy test and whispered "Surprise darling..." I felt him stiffen to my touch and I knew right then and there it was the end. He stood up and faced me. "Lucy, I can't do this." Tears brimming in my eyes, "Garrett please, I thought you said you love me a
I left our house and I felt more powerful than ever. It felt amazing being able to confront my mother. The look on her face was precious. I could do this over and over again and I still feel that it is not enough and will never be enough for all the things she put me through. Now that I have Matthew at my side I know I will be able to carry out my plans and I could all put this behind me and I can focus on Devon and me.A text message notification pinged on my phone, or rather Cassie's phone "Baby, where are you? I've been worried sick about you," it read. Devon, I thought to myself how easy was it to manipulate everyone. When I was alive everything seemed hard, all the struggles, all the weaknesses I have, who knew being dead was all worth it? I'm still discovering my abilities but right now I just feel so fucking awesome. In a snap, I have it all. Everything that was missing in my life is mine. "Hey baby, sorry I was not feeling so well today, I'll drop by your house
I woke up with a massive headache and my whole body felt battered. I looked around and I see Devon his head on my hand sleeping at the chair beside my hospital bed. I moved my hands and he stirred from his slumber. He looked at me and sat upright and held my hands. "Cassidy, baby, you're awake..." I looked around and asked, "Where am I?" "You're at the hospital, you were in an accident", Devon said to me solemnly. "I don't understand...I remember lying down on my bed and...and there was Hannah." I said, my voice quivering. "No baby, you hit your head pretty bad, you were banged up, you must have been dreaming. Hannah is gone...just take a rest." He said as he went up and pushed the button to call the nurse. As the nurse went in, I saw my parents come into the room, they were all talking, discussing what to do with me next. My mom and dad were hugging me, but I can't get myself to listen. I know that what happened
A few hours before I snapped my mother's neck, she was reading my letter that she found in the drawer of her nightstand as she scrambles to find her sleeping pills. She has not been sleeping. Our last meeting unnerved her so bad plus the fact that I had Matthew slipping LSD into her drinks every day. I told Matthew that was the plan, we would make her go crazy and that was the end of it. Little did he know I wanted something more. I couldn't tell him that being that I was Cassidy when I last talked to him. She thought she's going crazy, she locked herself in her room and drank more and more as she could not find sleep, she would drink pills to help her but the nightmares keep on coming. She sat on her bed, hands shaking she opened my letter and read: Dear Mom, I don't know where to start. A million thoughts are crossing my head and I do not know if I should get to the point or should I mention first that I loved you? I loved you so much mom, but you never
As I went down, I saw Matthew in the living room. He looked up and his expression is grim."Where are you going mom?" he said."Well, I figured I needed some fresh air. I've been cooped up in my room for so long, I cannot let myself waste away you know..." I retorted imitating Lucy as best as I could."Wearing that?" he looked at me up and down. He smirked."Well, I have a date." I blurted back."Mom, seriously? It has not even been a month since your daughter died and you are going on a date?!" Matt said."I'm wearing black aren't I?" my God I sounded just like her, I thought to myself."Just another normal day for Lucy Johnson eh? You never change..." Matt snapped.I smiled and went near him, "You should try going out, it looks like you need it more than I do." I said to him, trying to hide the tug in my heart that I feel whenever I see how heartbroken Matthew is with my death.I hurriedly went out and drove to Car
Daddy, I feel weird as I say this to you because come to think of it, you were never my father. I never had a father. I've written to you several years ago. I sent you an email asking if I can meet you, but you never responded and now I'm writing to you from my grave. Seventeen years and you never reached out to me. Did you even attend my funeral? Did you at least shed fake tears? Do you know how many days and nights I prayed that you will show up at our doorstep and rescue me from the hell I was in? I was 10 years old when I learned the truth. To tell you honestly, I've always felt off, I know there must be a reason for Brandon to hate me so much and why my mom has never shown me any tenderness. I wish she could have told me sooner. Had I known I would have done everything I could to get help, because Brandon raped me when I was 9. He did it almost every day, when he got so sick and died it was the best day of my life. But you see, it's not just about knowing
The blinding lights of the hospital hallway of the hospital are giving me a headache. Damn this body I am in, I feel weak right now. This must have been because Lucy is dead. I really need to get ahead of this possession thing. I'll research this later but for now, I will see Cassidy and toy with her for a while.As I reach Room 515, I see Cassidy sleeping and Devon stood up to greet me. I fight the urge to hug him and kiss him. I need to remember that right now, I'm Mrs. Johnson."Hi, Mrs. Johnson." He said sheepishly, he's still ashamed of what he has done to me that he thought my mother Lucy would even care if he broke my heart, she has broken it a thousand times and now I'm dead and she's dead and I've possessed her body."Hello Devon, I came here to bring flowers." I gave him the vase with a dozen of white Callalillies on it. It's a bit dramatic, but I find it funny, I know Cassie's smart, she will get the message. These flowers symbol
