Chapter 32 Beep. Beep. Beep. God, I hated that noise. I wanted it to stop. All I really wanted to do was keep sleeping. I wanted to sleep for a very long time. I didn’t know where I was or what was going on. My body felt sore and achy, like I was just one huge, throbbing bruise. Where ever I was, I was lying on a bed. I could […]

Chapter 31 “Hadley. Wake up. You can’t stay asleep much longer. Come on, Hadley Jamison.” I let out a groan and tried to ignore the annoying voice that was speaking. I was blissfully numb and felt nothing. I didn’t have a care in the world. I found I much preferred it this way. It was relaxing. I definitely deserved to relax. “Hadley. Wake up.” I cracked open an eye and […]

Chapter 30 When I was old enough to understand that death was something inevitable, I had always hoped that it would rain the day I left this earth forever. I thought that if it rained the day I died, then all of the not so pleasant things I’d leave behind would be washed away along with the memory of myself. I could feel cool droplets of water gently hitting my […]

Chapter 29 My first reaction at seeing the car speeding straight towards me was to throw myself out of the way. I forced my legs to move, to sprint back to the sidewalk, but it was like my feet were glued to the ground. No matter how hard I tried to take even a fraction of a step, I couldn’t. The distance between me and the car was quickly becoming […]

chapter 28 “So you must be Archer.” Mom gave Archer an appraising look as she stood up from the couch. Nobody could really blame Archer for looking as nervous as he did. Mom’s lips were pursed and her shrewd businesswoman gaze was on full blast. “I am,” Archer said with a nod. “Michaela.” Mom introduced herself, leaning forward to shake Archer’s hand. “Pleasure.” Archer’s voice was calm and as smooth […]

Chapter 27 Taelor slammed her lunch tray down on the table and tossed herself into the seat beside me. She was practically vibrating on the spot and there was a very wide smile on her face. This could only mean one thing. Something very big had happened in the world of Taelor. “Are you normally this excited to eat lunch?” Archer asked Taelor with a raised eyebrow. Taelor shook her […]

Chapter 26 Archer placed a finger under my chin and tilted my face up towards his so he could press his lips against mine. Never mind the fact that we were currently standing on the curb outside JFK and there were tons of people walking around us. I sure didn’t mind. “You know, if you say good morning like that every day, I won’t mind,” I said dazedly when he […]

Chapter 25 Don Vito’s Pizzeria was without a doubt the coolest restaurant I’d ever been to. It was a little hole-in-the-wall joint, but it attracted enough customers to be perpetually crowded on the weekends. The place was dimly lit with old fashioned gas lamps attached to the walls. There were pictures of all sorts and sizes, some in black and white, some captioned in Italian or English, that covered every […]
