They were my only friends and I couldn't even spend those last days with them.
Hayden's possessiveness grew more intense as the day went by, the threat messages made it even much worse, he collected my phone yesterday, insisted that he was going to get me a new one, I didn't even try to argue about it, it wasn't like it would help anyway. Sebastian left yesterday, so it was just me and him alone in the house...I've noticed since the last few days he's been in a very foul mood , he seemed tensed and tr
GracieI awoke to a splitting headache , I felt as if my head is being ripped apart, with great difficulty I managed to peer my eyes open, it was pitch dark, I couldn't see a single thing...I only remembered.....The memories came rushing like a heavy flood of water.Dad....The gun...Oh god! He must have hit my head with it.I tried to move my hands and feet but couldn't , I was tied up in a chair of some sort.Panic kicked in as I struggle in earnest to break free from my constraints.Why had he kidnap me? Even more so, why had he brought me here to this place?I froze when I heard the sound of a door clicking open, I heard footsteps approaching, about a moment later the lights turned on, it was so bright blinding me for a moment.I stared into the cold eyes of the man I considered my father"Dad w
HaydenFuck!The call ended. I crashed the cellphone to the nearest wall in a fit of rage.The fucking bastard must have hurted her, her cry of pain over the phone echoed in my head.The CCTV footage showed Matteo lurking around the mall.I paced about restlessly like a caged tiger, words couldn't explain how I felt at this moment in time.Sebastian spared me a glance but didn't say a word.This matter was not just a simple case of me saving Gracie from a kidnapping, most especially since dad has gotten involved.I guess we all want Matteo, but I wanted Gracie more...The thought of her being in that bastard Matteo hands made my fists clenched tightly.She had deceived me only to get caught by him, she probably didn't know
GracieEverything played slowly in my , it was as if i was watching it all from a distance .Matteo aiming at me, Hayden shoving me out of the way.Then the shot rang out.The bullet had caught him in his chest, I'm no doctor but I knew it wasn't good.A scream escaped my mouth as he fell to the ground with a loud thud..I stared at his bleeding shirt to his pained expression, I couldn't do or say anything , the shock was beginning to slowly seep it's way to my brain.I began to zone out on the world, I could hear screams.... yellings... see movements but everything just seemed as though from a far distance away...From the corner of my eyes I saw Sebastian aiming at Matteo, giving him five quick successfully shots..It was a bloody mess.My body was beginning to shut down on me until his raspy voice pulled me back to reality ."You are a
GracieI stared up at him, my mouth opened to voice out my response..But what could I say?He opened his mouth to say something when the operating room opened and the doctor approached us with a tired but satisfied look."How is he doing? " Sebastian asked"The bullet missed his heart by a few inches, he'll live"At the doctors words I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding."When is he going to be awake? " Sebastian asked again, I watched the tension slowly drain away from his features."I can't say for certain, your father called me up, his flight just landed, I think he'll be here anytime soon"I had wondered he managed to get Hayden treated in the hospital without getting a police report, there had been no statements or whatever.When he'd lifted Hayden to the ambulance he'd ordered the rest people I assumed to
HaydenI blinked as the bright white lights burned at my eyes.Sebastian's blurry image slowly became clear.I stared at him as he made his way over to me"You are awake ,how do you feel? "I lay on the bed confused for a mom, the unmistakably smell of antiseptics and sanitizer filtering into my nostrils.Why am I in a hospital?I searched my brain but everything was blank for a moment , it took about five seconds before it came flooding like a surge of waters.She'd left..She left me..With the thought I managed to a sitting position, the sudden motion making blind spots appear in my head for a moment."Where is she? " I rasped,unable to keep the desperation out of my voice , my throat dry and scratchy but that was the last thing I cared about.His gaze settled briefly on mine , silently he walked to the nearby stand to pou
New BeginningI walked back to my apartment after dropping Hazel off at daycare, it wasn't a far distance, the school was very close by, only about a five minute walk.The smell of fresh paint welcomed me as I walked into the living room.Shawn must be here already,he came way earlier than expected , I made my way upstairs quickly and stood in awe at the doorway ."it's so beautiful " I gushed out staring at the newly brightly painted room.The designs and arrangements were perfect, I couldn't wait to hear Hazel's excited squeal of laughter.Shawn turned around to face me, the painting brush still clutched in his hand, his work clothes and some part of his face smeared by the paints."You are back. " he said with a huge grin then took a quick glance at his handiwork."It's really nothing..i just uh chose pink and silver, I just thought she might like it ...""Of cou
GracieI drove the car to a stop right in front of our porch, I helped Hazel unclasp her seatbelt before climbing down from my side.It was always my daily routine to pick her up from daycare after my part time job at the daycare, Shawn pick her up sometimes for me though, but that happened only when I'm overly busy.We walked back into our little apartment hand in hand, she immediately sniffed twice like a little puppy before running her way upstairs as fast as her little feet could carry her."Slow down or you'll fall down" I called out , making my way upstairs right after her."Uncle Shawn came by? I can have my room?" she voiced out expectantly."He sure did " I replied unable to keep the smile tugging on my lips .
3Hayden"It was all a mistake! Just give me one more chance I'll rectify them right away"I ran a finger over my temple massaging them slowly.I've been listening to this traitors ranting for some time now , it was always like this, they always tried to steal from us and always come up with the same story.To be given a second chance to rectify their mistakes.Too bad second chances weren't in anywhere in my fucked up world. They always paid with their lives for their greedy mistakes, some worse than the others depending on my mood .I stared emotionless at his bleeding pleading form, I didn't even feel the littlest twinge of pity , I wasn't feeling angry either,In fact I felt absolutely nothing .Everything inside of me was just a blank shade of darkness .Not since after she...."Have mercy! ,please just give me one more chance
