Thorns of the Heart Chapter 47
Madison’s POV“This is not good officer; this is dangerous.” I was already so worried. “A man just left a few minutes ago; his son reportedly attended the party Gem attended but he hasn't returned home and he got the same disturbing message. I know they all planned this together, but since we have the address, we will burst in on them tonight." The officer tried to assure me. “Why can't we go now? This would be the best time to burst in.” “If we burst in now? We will only make matters worse because we won't get all of them, their leader will not be around, and we need to catch all of them. but we will go in to night; tonight is their initiation night; they will all be present; they will be welcoming new members to the club tonight; it involves insertions on their backs and making them sniff cocaine.” “That is really terrible, officer. How come you know so much about them when you have never caught any of them?” Andy asked. “What is your name, young man? “My name is Andy.” “He i

Madison’s POV.Tears were about to roll down my eyes but I raised my head, and I held it in but Tyler noticed. “Maddy, are you ok? Do you have something in your eyes?” "Yes, I do but it is out already.” “Do you want me to come look at it?”“Never mind, it went out already.” Tyler almost caught me shedding tears. I wouldn't want the sympathy; I hate it so I had to pretend. "Please help me with the address, Joe, so I can go get my sister.” “Sure, I will write it down for you; it is forty minutes away from here.” Joe called the name of his maid and she ran to where he was sitting. “Can you get me a pan and a piece of paper, please?” “Alright sir.” “No, you do not have to borrow; I have a pen and a notebook here; you can use it.” Rose reached for her bag and brought out a pen and a piece of paper for Joe to use and he wrote down the address. “Here you go; that is the street and the house number. Please make sure you park your car two blocks away so they won't hear you drive in

Madison’s POV“Are you going to take me home or are we going to stand here all night?” I asked Tyler. “Well, you seem to enjoy looking at me; I cannot complain, can I?” “You think too highly of yourself; has your dad texted you since the last time?"No, he hasn't; I'm not ready to receive any text from him; I'm not ready for that.” “Well, please drive me to my house; I've had a long day and I need to shower and rest.” “We both had a long day, so let’s go. Do you even have food to eat at home?” “I’ll just order food online.” “Boring!!! Come have dinner at my place; Mrs. Sophie is making something nice for the both of us.” “Wow!! I didn't know that, but I think I am becoming too frequent at your place, and I don't want that.” “And is there anything wrong with that?” Tyler asked. “Well, there is nothing wrong with that but I'm just saying.” “Let’s go; you think too much about everything.” “You better drive calmly this time.” “Is that the “thank you” I get for driving you ever

Madison’s POV. At that point, it was a silent trip home because I turned off the radio so I could take my mother’s call. I was still looking outside the window when Tyler turned the radio on, and the music playing caught my attention. “I love this song. Nice song; it reminds me of my school days. Before I knew what was happening, we were both singing along; our voices filled the car as we sang to the lyrics of the song. I still see your shadow in my room. I can’t take back the love that I gave you; it’s to the point where I love you and I hate you and I cannot change you, so I must replace you. “This is a really nice song, Tyler; it was my ringtone back then in school.” “Wow!! I see. Why was it your ringtone? You got a lot of heartbreak from guys?” “Quit saying rubbish; I just love the song and that is all you need to know.” “Well, that is enough information.” We finally got to Tyler’s house. It felt like we were driving forever; the trip was so long and my body was aching by

Andy’s POV. I was so excited to go see my girlfriend. She hasn't been picking up my calls since today, and like I told Maddy, she has been displaying some funny attitude. I know everyone tells me to ignore it, but deep down, I know something was wrong. It was unusual of her to be giving me an attitude like that.We talk often, and sometimes we do not talk too much; we just text each other, but this time, she wasn't responding to my messages or to my calls. I was so nervous and scared. I hope she is alright. I developed anxiety. I didn't know what I was going to face, but I had to just be a man and act fine, but my heart was filled with so many unanswered questions. What if she is cheating on me? What if she found somebody else? What if she is bored with our relationship? I'm I doing something wrong. Does she hate me now? “Andy!! Andy!! Andy!! Focus!! Your thinking is too much.” The Uber driver turned the mirror to my position so he could see me clearly because he couldn't look bac
Thorns of the Heart Chapter 51
Andy’ POVWith every step I took, the pain in my heart grew. It was like a fire, burning and consuming me from the inside out. It made my chest ache and made it hard to breathe. The tears that had been pooling in my eyes began to spill over, running down my cheeks. I couldn't stop them; I couldn't even try. I was beyond caring, beyond feeling. I just wanted the pain to end; it seemed like I was swallowed up by the darkness that surrounded me.As I stumbled down the street, I passed shadowy buildings and empty windows. They seemed to mock me, to represent the emptiness inside me, but I didn't care. I kept on moving; I wasn't ready to stop. My phone was beeping nonstop, but I was focused on easing the pain I was feeling inside. I didn't even care who the caller was. I stumbled down the street, and the tears continued to fall. I felt like I was in a haze, as if I wasn't really there. I was just a shell, an empty vessel.Then, I saw a light in the distance. It was dim, but it was a beac

Andy’s POV.Rose and I broke apart; the silence between us was heavy with unspoken words. I was the first to speak; my voice was soft and hesitant. "Rose, I don't know what to say. I didn't plan for this to happen; I'm sorry.” I stood there, frozen in place. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, and I was sure she could hear it too. I wanted to say something, anything, but the words were stuck in my throat. All I could do was nod, my eyes fixed on hers. I felt like we were suspended in time; the whole world was reduced to this one moment. It felt like I was standing on the edge of a precipice, about to take a leap into the cliff. She pulled me closer again and planted a kiss on my lips. It was when our lips met that I noticed the smell of alcohol on her breath. She must have been drinking before I arrived. She pulled me closer and we continued kissing, our bodies pressed together. The world around us faded away, and all that existed was this moment and this kiss.When we fin
Thorns of the Heart Chapter 53
Madison’s POV. I was in a deep sleep; my phone was ringing nonstop, and I was too tired to reach it. I opened my eyes slowly, the room coming into focus around me. I was lying in a comfortable bed, and I could smell the fresh scent of clean linen. I blinked a few times, my mind trying to piece together where I was and how I had gotten there.Gradually, the events of the previous night came back to me, and I remembered that I was staying at Tyler’s house. I tried to turn but his hands were wrapped around me; he held me tightly. “Get off me, you jerk!” Tyler was still sleepy. “Keep your voice down; why are you always grumpy in the morning?” He turned to the other side of the bed; he didn't even open his eyes; his eyes were still shut.I sat up in bed, my head still a bit fuzzy from sleep. The room was bright, with sunlight pouring in through the window. I sat up in bed, stretching my arms over my head. I felt a bit disoriented, my brain still trying to shake off the last dregs of s
