Jason By the time I finished my meeting with the manager regarding the new project as I need to recheck few things it was past 1 at midnight. Sighing I came out from my study stretching my arms and kneading my stiff neck and ready to hit the bed. The house is eerily calm. Everyone is probably sleeping. When I'm about to climb the stairs, I saw Amy walking inside with her head down and mumbling something under her breath. Her face looked red and her hands were trembling. She didn't even notice me and kept walking towards the stairs. I cleared my throat when she is about to bump into me. That got her startled and she stumbled back a little. She looked so frightened just like a kid got caught while stealing candy. Her bottom lip trembled and her hands started fidgeting. Is she okay?Where did she go this late? And Why is she so nervous? What happened? I have

I sat on the couch with my feet on the coffee table, practicing CAD on my laptop. I heard the main door click open. I checked my watch it is still early for Jason to come home. But if it's him? Taking my laptop, I made a run towards the stairs."Hey, Where are you running?"I slowly turned around and saw Caleb standing in the living room confused."Ohh Caleb, Hi" I sighed in relief. I sure looked crazy running in the living room with my laptop tucked under my arm."Is Jason home?""No""He told me he will be here. I will wait for him then," saying Caleb settled on the couch.I went to the kitchen and brought him a can of juice and sat opposite him."Thanks but Amy I must say your PJs are cool."I looked at myself, an oversized worn-out Hulk t-shirt which I stole from Ryan and polka dot pants."Shut up" I g

Jason stood in front of me looking me in the eye. "I need to talk with you." He deadpanned. "About what," I asked casually hoping he was oblivious to the sweat forming on my forehead and my crazy pumping heart. He placed his hands on his hips and gave one intimidating look at me. And as a result, my eyes went to his 8 glorious and the muscles on his arms. I'm not a creep. The water droplets gliding across his hot muscular body aren't helping me. No, you don't want to check him out now! I turned my attention to Caleb chasing Nyla with a jet ski. He sighed sitting on the next sun lounger. "You know what I want to talk about" According to psychology, whenever we are subjected to an attack or threat of survival our brain undergoes a fight or flight response. Now, this condition is much more severe than that, so my brain just chose to flee from the situa

"You want to talk?" Kevin asked Zack. Kevin stood beside Zack's hospital bed and I took the chair."What is there to talk? I'm fine so both of you stop those pity stares you were sending my way." Zack snapped, his fingers playing with a silver ring in his hand."And what is her highness doing here?" He continued asking Kevin ignoring me."I wanted to come," I told him."Why? Because you missed me and can't pass another day without looking at my handsome face." He teased like always but the twinkle in his eyes was missing.I stayed quiet but then again he asked in mock horror."To shower me with sympathy? No thanks, I'm fine." "Kevin let's get out of here man, this hospital smell is killing my appetite." He directed his focus to Kevin bored with my lack of response.Kevin and I looked at each other confused. What is wrong with him? He is sounding like the same Zack I have ever known since freshman year. But you can't miss

Mandy prepared mac and cheese for lunch for all three of us even though I protested against it and asked for an avocado, that was sitting on the kitchen counter."Just look at yourself. I didn't see you eating proper lunch in days. I doubt you are having your breakfast or dinner. That's not going to continue here missy. You need to eat and then sleep." Mandy chided.She is such a mom!"Please. I'm not able to stomach anything,"  I sighed with no amount of energy to argue with her.I leaned back on the headrest and closed my eyes in weariness. But the moment I closed my eyes, all I could see was Jason's cold eyes filled with hatred, fury, and disgust. It's the same look he has given me at our last encounter when he misinterpreted my relation with Zack.I pushed open my eyes and rubbed my eyes to push the sleep away. I looked at the girls sitting in front of me with concern written on t
