Chapter 132: Bryant's Story
I pulled up at the spot where I dropped Casey off earlier and got out of the car. I jogged to the front door where Casey stood, one of her friends hanging a few feet behind her with what looked like my sister's purse in her hands.
I locked eyes with Casey and she started walking. I couldn't read her expression as she looked straight ahead and power walked towards me. I slowed down, ready to spread my arms to give her a hug, but she stepped past me and walked towards the car instead. I turned to look at her back as she continued walking before turning back to her friend, handing me Casey's stuff.
Casey's friend gave me a look and shook her head, tipping me off on how bad it went. As I took Casey's bag from her and ran after my little sister who was already walking towards the car, I watched the drag in her steps, as if they were the heav

The car had toppled over and had landed on its side. Casey was under me. I could feel the liquid that drenched my eyelids, preventing me from cracking my eyes open. I felt the pressure on my arm that laid under Casey's head to protect it from the jostling that happened as the car swerved and fell sideways. I couldn't feel my lower half either but from the movements that Casey made under me, I knew that I've successfully cocooned her.Through the blinding pain, I heard Casey's cries and screams over a faint hissing noise. Every movement she made that nudged any part of my body would flare a new set of pain that threatened to knock me out. But amidst the unbearable pain, I felt relief in my heart.My little sister was okay. She was alive. She was moving.That was all I needed.

I heard the urgent tone under his voice as he yelled and felt a hand shaking my knee in a frantic gesture. I sat up abruptly and forced my blurry vision to focus on my surroundings. When I realized what the pair of blinding lights was, I immediately strapped my seat belt on and curled my body up and tried to protect my head by shielding them with my arms. A weight settled on me as I squeezed my eyes shut and the next thing I knew, I was facing gravity head on.I woke up with my heart beating hard against my rib cage and my breathing was shallow. A thin sheen of sweat covered my forehead and back as I tried my hardest to get myself to calm down. It wasn’t long until I felt my breathing ceased back to a regular rhythmic inhales and exhales but I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep anymore. I felt around my bedside table for my phone and when I finally got a hold on it, the harsh light from the screen caused me to squint and I barely managed t

I let my brown locks loose as usual and threw on the worn out hoodie over my usual tee and pair of jeans. Grabbing my backpack from the corner beside my bedroom door, I climbed down the stairs and walked into the kitchen to grab a quick waffle and say a brief goodbye to my parents before heading for school.The walk wasn’t long, I live 15 minutes away and it was bearable with earphones plugged in your ears. I put my music on shuffle and started walking. The sun was covered with some clouds today and the weather’s kind of windy, thank God. I swear I almost died of dehydration the other day.By the time I saw the school’s gates, I had 5 minutes to gather my things from the locker and head to class. Rushing to it, I arrived just as the bell rang. I immediately headed for my usual seat, right beside the window that overlooked the school’s grass-field.The school compound wasn’t small. I practically grew up in this town. I

It wasn’t a secret that I aced every studies in school except of course, maths. I’m hated for it. They make me sit alone in every single part of the school. I was friendless and I honestly didn’t mind, maybe even enjoy it sometimes. Some bullied me, some let me be, a few acknowledged me without beating me up.And so, when I dashed out of that class and to second period, fate couldn’t help but have some old grudge against me and sync the new kid’s schedule with mine. Of course he chose the seat beside me, again. He bugged me the whole class and thankfully after those two periods, I’m finally free from the continuous word vomit from him.Lunch eventually came around and like every day, the bullying started. “Yo bitch! Why don’t you do us a favor and get the fuck out of this school?”I ducked my head and said nothing.“How about you shut up and get a life?!” An annoyingly familiar voi

I cut off the engine after parking on a shadowed area where I usually parked and hung my helmet carefully on the steer before making my way inside the building.Let me tell you about the underground place. It’s a place where people street fight. It’s illegal so there’s not many who knows about it, maybe a few close friends of the fighters and that alone got 30 people streaming in every night and there were only a few female fighters in here.Here, I go by Pixie because I used to have a pixie haircut. The bartender is an old friend of my brother. He said the haircut suited me. The basic rules were if you fight and lost, you go home empty handed, bruised and battered but no one should know why, but if you win, you go home with a handful of cash.Moving on, I know most of you are probably wondering why I started to fight. And I can assure you that it was not for the money and it was certainly not for the fame or attention.The main

“Bryant?” My voice echoed through the dark. I don’t know why I’m calling out to him but something in me told me to and I decided to go with it. My heart was heavy in my chest and I struggled to inhale a deep breath to calm myself from succumbing to the sadness buried in me.My breath hitched in my throat when I saw the darkness lifting and a scenery took its place and I could feel tears threatening to break through. I remember this, I thought silently as I tried to contain the sobs that was dangerously rising. I have to be strong. Don’t let them see you weak. Don’t give them that satisfaction. You’re strong. You’re strong. I chanted inside my head as I watch the scene unravel.There was a swimming pool in the middle of a familiar backyard. I watched as a girl ran towards it in her swimming suit, chased by a boy no older than 8 running behind her. She squealed in glee when the boy was close enough to

I don’t know what and I don’t know how but here I am, standing in the middle of a meadow, gazing at the little flowers waving as the wind blew them lightly. Where the heck am I?Suddenly it all changed, the meadow was burnt, the fire was still there and it’s spreading fast. I screamed for help but no one came. Then it all came to an end, the heat ceased to exist and the whole scenery changed once more. A laugh erupted from beside me and I snapped my gaze towards it to see the familiar style of hair and the brown mischievous eyes.“Don’t look so tense, Casey. Relax will ya?” He chuckled lightly.I looked around and saw that we were in his car. I remember this, it’s right before the crash. “Bry, you gotta listen to me. You have to slow down, we’re gonna crash and you won’t survive.” I told him slowly, trying to not freak him out even if I am inside.He chuckled, “Nice try, Case

I glared at his hand and imagined how it’ll be if I could have laser eyes. He didn’t release it though, if anything he tightened his hold by a tiny bit. If we weren’t in school and he knew about my secret, I would’ve probably kicked him onto his ass but alas, that wasn’t an option.I raised my eyes to meet his after a few minutes of silence, one of my eyebrows was raised to ask him silently on what he wants. He seemed out of it for a few minutes but after a moment, he released my wrist, taking a step back to give me a much-appreciated space.“I wanted to ask you to go to a party on Friday, as my date.”My eyebrows shot up. Is this how they ask girls out these days? Momma always said something about daddy going to grampy’s house before taking her anywhere. What happened to that chivalry?“No.”He didn’t seem surprised. Well, considering we weren’t on good terms in the first p
