Myla felt like she was run over by a truck, she could not move, speak or breathe too hard. How was she still feeling pain in the afterlife?She sniffed slightly and smelled…was that Chris? She was smelling Chris! She tried to sniff harder and became utterly sure, it was the rude little devil.She spent great effort in opening her eyelids, the light immediately striking her eyes, giving her a headache to match the pain on her body.She let out a sound and suddenly felt the ground shift under her. Wait, the ground wasn't soft! Or wrapped with cotton. She was on a bed with fluffy lilac sheets."Are you okay?!", A shrill male voice sounded right next to her ear, taking the skull banging to the next level.She couldn't speak, her mouth felt heavy. She groaned, hoping it would convey just how much she would like him to shut up. Wasn't that Chris? Why was she with Chris?"Ahem…are you alright?", He whispered softly.Myla would have smiled if she could move those muscles properly. She made a

Myla swallowed. She had never seen anyone as handsome as he was at that moment. His jaw was set, he stalked into the room like an animal cornering his prey.He lowered himself to their level and she quickly squeezed her eyes shut, expecting at least a slap to hit.Instead, Chris was lifted off her lap and cradled in Noah's arms. The boy shifted slightly to make himself comfortable and dozed off again.She expected to be slapped by his hand, instead she was slapped by the want that crossed her heart when she saw this gorgeous man carrying an adorable gorgeous child, her heart filled with warmth at the blatant display of love with which he used to hold his brother.She wanted a family! Now! He abruptly strolled out of the room, presumably to drop his little brother before coming to beat her up in this beautiful lilac and yellow bedroom.She stood up and quickly started pacing. She had two options, jump out the window and start over at life, or wait for Noah to come back.She became fil

Tiana stepped into the living room and saw Myla scrolling on her phone.MYLA. She was awake. She flung her school bag on the floor."Myla, you're up!", She ran to hug her.Myla felt the wind knocked out of her lungs as Tiana practically flung herself at her."Yes I am darling", she laughed and patted her head."You're also smiling, I can't believe Noah forgave you that easily". Tiana was wide eyed.Myla furrowed her brows. Was Noah secretly an unforgiving person? Did he have another personality that she didn't know of?"He doesn't usually take it well when people under his protection get hurt, especially not when they hurt themselves". Tiana pouted as she finished speaking, remembering the way Noah banned sweets from the house for four months because she and Chris didn't sleep for twenty four hours. It was a dark and disturbing four months. She could feel the blood that drained from her everyday. Of course, she could also be exaggerating.Myla laughed nervously."Now that you're here,

Myla swallowed and sat up. Her hands were sweaty now and she was about to start hyperventilating.'Deep breaths, inhale', Wyla made her inhale, 'Exhale', Wyla made her exhale.After a while of repeating the cycle, Myla was finally calm enough to actually check the email.She let out a shaky breath and clicked on it. It opened and Myla squealed. She was accepted. She was accepted!She rolled around on the bed and pace happily round her room dancing by herself. She pushed upon the balcony doors again and looked at the city lights with a bigger appreciation.She was accepted! There was no cause for her to go back to Moon Stone. She could build a life here, even away from the Collins. She didn't want to rely on Noah and his siblings for everything.She came back to bed and picked up her headphones from her bag.She could never use headphones back at home, seeing as there would always be someone up in her room trying to talk to her. She connected it and clicked on a song from her 'Happy fe

Chapter 19Myla erupted bright red and threw a pillow straight at Noah's head. He didn't catch it. It smacked him front and center."Hey!"Myla didn't stop blushing but she laughed at his expression. He looked scandalized and his hair was tousled with the force of the throw.He rolled up his sleeves and advanced menacingly on her. She furrowed her brows and stopped laughing as he suddenly grabbed her ankles."How dare you, those are the balls of my feet!", She growled in a fake offense."How dare you, my face is my most prized possession", he laughed back.She wrestled against him in vain till they were a laughing mess. He was sitting on the floor with his right leg bent and his left straight not long after."Uhm. Well, Chris and I met someone Chris didn't like, that's were the rumor started", she suddenly shot up, "Did those traitors talk to you?!", Her nose flared in betrayal.Noah chuckled. "No, they've been suspiciously mum since I arrived, my friends did""How-", she gestured in
