"What am I going to do now?" I cried when Gwyneth told me all my things were burnt in the fire. "Where am I going to go from here? What'd I tell the landlord? he'd probably make me pay for his properties." I winced. It seems like life itself hates me, I've been through hell since the day I was born. Never a day have I been in peace, well, I was for some time. I curled myself on the bed. My body ached, and my head ached. I've been crying for the past hour, and no matter how I tried to keep myself from crying, I couldn't stop myself. The situation was overwhelming. "Tessa, will you just stop crying? You've been like that for the past one hour and about the house. A solution will surely come up later, come, you've to take a bath." She said grabbing my hand and trying to pull me out of the bed. She successfully pulled me out of the bed to the bathroom, instructed me what to do and told me there'd be a cloth waiting on the bed for me. I managed to whisper a thank you. She walked out. I

If looks could kill, I'd have been ten feet under right now. "Well, I get you're worried for Anne but I never asked for you to be worried about me, if you're here to see Anne, why not come back some other time?" I asked. He looked taken aback by my tone. Probably because he's never heard me speak this way before. "Tessa.." "Are you going to go or not?" "See baby? This is why I asked you to take custody of the little girl.." Sara whispered, but it wasn't low enough. She's been telling him that? Did she even think he could take custody of Anne? What fantasy do they live in? Anne wasn't asleep but I felt some possessiveness towards her. I don't want her to grow attached to someone like him. "Guess what, Tessa, my husband and I have decided to take custody of your daughter, Isn't that great news?" Sara said. I reached closer to her, how dare she say that to my face? I slapped her. She screamed jumping back like someone had poured boiling water on her body. Speaking of water... "How

“Truth or Dare?” Dave asked... “Uh...” If I go with a dare, they might ask me to do something I didn’t want to do, I mean... That’s what dare is all about right? “I’d go with the truth..” “The person you have feelings for... Is he in our midst?” He asked. I choked. I looked at all of them. It was like their eyes were penetrating me... Especially Austin’s. “Uh..” “You choose truth so you have to say the truth,” Jake said. “Yeah, you did,” Loren said with an evil glint in her eyes which looked scary as hell. It was like her eyes were penetrating my soul. I gulped. “I.. I..” ~ End of the dream, lol ~ I jerked off the bed when I heard a loud storm. It was just a dream... Only a dream... Okay, that’s it. I’m not going back to sleep again. ~ I walked out of the room. I really need to take a walk, clear my head and think straight. “Finally, you’ve gotten out. I thought you strangled yourself in there.” Gwyneth said dramatically. “Uh. Sorry, I was uh..” “It’s okay, I guessed you

'What are you staring at? I'd start doing as I was told if I were you.' The text says. Her breathing became ragged. She quickly walked to her car as fear took over her body. She had to send Tessa away if she wants to keep her family safe. Her family meant so much to her, she couldn't put them in such grave danger. She pitied Tessa. Tessa has gone through a lot already, and she wished there was something she could do to truly help her. She drove off quickly. The ride from her parent's home to hers was an hour and 20mins long. Her hands were shaking throughout the whole ride. She finally got home, and her phone dinged again before she stepped out of the car. 'Less than an hour... I wouldn't waste my time talking to her if I were you..' The text says. She was going crazy. She rushed to the front door and knocked on it. In less than 20 seconds, Tessa was at the door, with Anne in her arms. "You have to leave now," Gwyneth said. She walked past Tessa and walked into the room Tessa wa

I picked up Anne and stepped away from the wall. Still quiet. That's a good thing, right? I ran towards the same road which lead me to this place. Minutes later, I reached a crowded place. Anne began crying. She hasn't eaten anything since we left Gwyneth's place and now, we're in another country. It was hard to believe. I needed to ask someone what country is this. I was getting attention from people because of Anne. She was crying so loud. I rocked her. "Hey, please excuse me," I spoke to a woman hoping they speak English here. "Hello." She said back. "Uh... What's the name of this country?" I asked. She gave me a weird look. I know, it's funny. "Switzerland." She replied. Oh my. That's like 10 hours from the US by plane. I thanked her and she walked away. What was I going to do now? I don't have my phone, I lost it earlier. I had to look for a place to stay before those people sees me. I can't take that risk... The cloud was getting thicker by the minute, it was like it was go
