Chapter: Chapter Sixteen AdannaI believed that in time Chris would forget all about me and move onto his next conquest but I couldn't have been more wrong.Things seemed to have gotten worse over time. Even the slightest things seemed to piss him off.He pointed a gun at me once, don't know how or where he got one but at least I do know that he has one.I stopped fighting a long time ago, distancing myself from everyone who meant something to me. This was my problem something I had to figure out myself.I've tried all I could to ignore Ikenna but it seems as though he just can't take a hint even now he's more persistent than ever to reach me.Chris found at about his consistent calling and he lost it, smashing everything he could get his hands on nearly choking me to death.I was scared

Chapter: Chapter Fifteen AdannaDavid has been absent from school and I'm worried. he may have not been the best brother but he had his moments. Mum was definitely still in touch with him because there is no way she would leave her baby boy in a different country without constantly checking up on him.Although David not being in school had an upside as well.Chris no longer had a reason for his impromptu visits.You see David was the only member of his crew that was still in secondary school. He was held back a year for obvious reasons.So he was the only excuse chris or anyone of his crew members had to be back in this building including Ikenna or should I say Noah.When it comes to my brother David I don't blame the drugs, I don't blame my dad, I don't even blame Chris.I blame him for letting himself get roped in by C

Chapter: Chapter fourteen Adanna No calls, no texts not from Mum not from him and do you know what the sad part of the whole thing is? I was hoping he would call or text maybe to tell me that it wasn't what I thought,or maybe she was a friend or something else that it's not as bad as it seems. Pathetic I know "Morning" I turned to face Miss Susan what was she still doing here? She looked as bad as I felt, bags under her eyes, her hair a ruffled mess. She had definitely been crying.Her gaze was fixed on something behind me with her coffee mug in hand. Uncle Mason was at the top of the stairs staring down at her with... affection? Just like the way I would stare at the last jar of nutella in a grocery store. &n

Chapter: Chapter Thirteen Adanna I returned to our table once I was back to something close to normal. She was already done with her ice cream handing me mine "Since you would rather spend your time in a restroom than with me I got yours to go" she gestured towards the ice cream with her head bowed. I didn't know how to comfort her because I couldn't tell her about my encounter with Chris."London was beautiful" I mumbled unwrapping my ice cream. That was the only thing I could think about, my generally awkward vacation."Really?" She perked up"Did you make new friends?" She asked her eyes brightening."Just one but I guess Miss Susan was nice too""Susan?" She tried to mask her sour expression but unfortunately she wasn't quick enough.

Chapter: Chapter Twelve Adanna Sixty seconds turned to a few minutes and a few minutes into an hour once that was over I'd slept through the whole class.It was my last subject for the day so that means that school was over, well that was a waste of time I guess I could just borrow notes, but from who?It's probably best if I just go through my textbook and figure things out on my own. I had a driver assigned to me by uncle Mason this morning so I didn't have to worry about how to get back to his house. But he was only allowed to take me to school and bring me back when Uncle Mason was not in need of his services. So basically he was my borrowed driver. My mind drifted off to our conversation earlier this morning. I had just got out of bed before doing my morning rituals getting

Chapter: Chapter Eleven Adanna it was a simple cream colored duplex but I knew better than anyone that its simplicity was a luxury. The next few weeks after kosi's encounter with Jeremy weren't much to look forward to. She lacked her infectious enthusiasm even Miss Susan's smiles were forced and a bit uncomfortable. Something just seemed off, Jeremy wouldn't stop trying to get kosi to forgive him for whatever it is he did. Seems like the fight took a toll on him as well, I caught him on his knees once. As much as it was satisfying to do so I still pitied him.He loved her that much I knew but he made a stupid mistake. I didn't really know if she was going to forgive him, I really do hope she does.He makes her happy and she makes him happy. The th

Chapter: Two. "What are you doing?" Her doting mother asked. Still dressed in a wedding dress she scampered around throwing random pieces of clothing into a grey backpack. "So that's it you're just going to leave everything behind and chase after him?" Still ignoring her mother completely she evaded her making her way towards the open box of clothes."He left you at the altar!" She froze deeply wounded by her mother's words as if that wasn't obvious enough."At least we got that far" she mumbled under her breath forcing her eyes shut to hold back the tears."What?""I'm thirty five years old mother!" She yelled through her haze of furious tears."I don't have a lot of choices left, he is the only one that was and probably will ever be willing to watch me wear this stupid dress, he may not have been at the end of that aisle waiting

Chapter: One ~Breathe~She jolted awake at the sound of the voice panting, Surrounded by nothing but miles and miles of sand ahead she rose to her feet still in her haze of confusion. Where am I?She thought frantically whipping her head to face all angles . The countdown began, a beeping sound that seemed to resound round the entire dessert. She took timid steps backwards not wanting to know where the sound was coming from.A loud wail backed by the sudden sound of multiple footsteps came from the same direction as the beeping. She stilled in an anticipation, setting her form into a defensive stance.The footsteps got lou
