After Cody had fully calmed down (it took him awhile) he finally let me get ready. As I said before, these clothes looked hella expensive, I'm talking breaking the bank kind of money, Martha must have had a literal field day buying these. But I have to give credit where credit is due, she did pick loads of amazing clothes that I will definitely wear.  She's been going on for years about revamping my wardrobe, she always goes on and on about me wearing the same stuff. It's true, I like the stuff I like and I never feel the need to change that. But now I'm looking at these clothes, maybe I should have let her do my wardrobe sooner, it might have saved Reece and Justin's wardrobe too.  I don't know why we're having such a fancy dinner, it's not like we're introducing ourselves to each other. Martha and I have known each other since nursery and I've h

It was the next morning, last nights dinner was something I've never seen before. I stuck with my vegetables all night, while Martha actually tried some of the more alive options, I have never seen that much puke in my entire life. But overall it was a good night, I got to know Scott a little better which just made me even more confused.  At the dinner he was so nice, at first I thought he must be putting some kind of act on. If he was he should become an actor because I never saw through it once, or he's generally such a nice guy. But that doesn't explain why he went and attacked the town, even went as far as to go against Cody's orders. What could the town have done to make him so angry? We lost a few people that day for reasons none of us knew and I still don't know, I haven't a clue if Cody's gonna tell me or not.  He claimed the reason for hi

I stand in the corridor for a few minutes, many questions just kept swirling through my head. Does my mum regret leaving us? Does she ever think of us? Was she just going to allow us to believe she was dead forever? Did she know about her mate before but waited until she had no choice but leave? There are so many questions that I want to be answered, but I don't know if I'm ready to hear the answers yet.  I knew I had to somehow break the news to my family, but it's something I wouldn't want to over the phone. I have to figure out a way to talk to them face to face, without crossing any borders. I decide to text them we needed to talk as Cody walks down the hall, I send him a little smile while finishing sending the text.  "What did Scott want to talk to you about?" He asks looking rather tense, I wanted to tell him but I didn't know if I'd fully

This was bad, my dad wasn't kidding when he said if any of the girls go back he'll kill them. It's not like the police guarding the place won't know who Martha is, that's all they were thinking about for weeks after the raid. Why would she even wanna go back? Last time I was at town even her family didn't want anything to do with her, is she doing this on purpose?  A part of me was hoping if my dad did see her, he'd be a bit more lenient as it's Martha and I've known her since we were little. But than again my dads been after blood since the raid, to top it all off with what we've learnt about mum, it's not looking good.  "I think it's best if I go to town to see if she's there" I say as I knew Scott was about to sprint to town, which was extremely fast might I add.  "She's my ma

It doesn't take us long to leave the wood part of town and make it to main part, walking through the woods none of us spoke. I had so much to tell Reece that I know for sure he wouldn't tell my dad especially, but I didn't know if there were others around to hear what I was saying, who definitely would tell my dad.  "Is it bad to say that I'm kind of happy Martha's gone on one of her hide and seek journeys?" Reece asks breaking the silence as all the houses come into view, I always thought this place was massive but it doesn't even compare to the town at home "it's sucked without you here, I've had to manage with Justin turning all sophisticated on me, you won't believe the laugh I had to hold in when he entered the room dressed like that" Reece chuckles as we begin to walk in the direction of Martha's parents house, in my mind that would be the only place she would really wanna go.
