Chapter 24 June let out a sniffle, wiping her jacket sleeve underneath her nose. Her eyes were puffy and red from crying so much and her lips had been trembling for the latter half of two hours. I couldn’t really blame her for that. Her left leg was bandaged tightly and propped up on a pillow. She was laying on a bed in a plain, boring room, and apart from […]

Chapter 23 “Uh uh oh. What do we have here?” I cracked open an eye, barely even conscious, and saw Carlo’s very amused, very smug face inches away from mine. “What the hell?” I said, trying to blink the sleep from my eyes. “I think the “what the hell” is more reserved for me,” Carlo said, widening his eyes. “What the hell did you and Archer do last night?” Oh. […]

chapter 22 After discovering the fact that I’d be spending the weekend in Albany with Archer’s family, I took off sprinting for my bedroom. I threw open my closet door, grabbed my old gymnastics bag and promptly threw jeans, shirts, underwear, bras, and everything else I’d need on this trip. I tried to be as quick as possible, since Archer and Regina were waiting for me in the living room, […]

Chapter 21 Friday morning began with an early start. I woke up at five thirty for some reason, rolled over and tried to go back to sleep, and realized a moment later that it was completely futile. So I dragged myself out of bed and padded to the shower. When I was smelling like my favorite cherry blossom shampoo and just a little more awake, I yanked off the shower […]

Chapter 20         Mom stared at me over the rim of her coffee cup while she sat at the dining table, not for the first time this morning. I had the creepy feeling that I had some sign that said “LOOK AT ME” taped to my forehead. Normally my mother never spent this much of her precious time concerning herself with me. Sad to admit, yes, but […]

Chapter 19 Tuesday passed roughly in the same manner that Monday had. It was a little weird, sure, but overall, it wasn’t so bad. I still got weird looks and people still whispered about me. Even a few people I’d go as far as to call aquatintces in chemistry abruptly stopped talking to me and refused to make eye contact. I wasn’t too heartbroken about it. It was just the […]

Chapter 18 For the record? Archer and I weren’t dating. To be perfectly honest, I’m not even sure what it was going on between us. I think we were both under the impression that there weren’t any labels on this thing. I wasn’t his girlfriend and he wasn’t my boyfriend. We sort of just started….kissing more. Like, a lot more. True to my speculations earlier, by the time I arrived […]

Chapter 17   “Taelor!” I sprinted through the clumps of people crowding around in the subway, trying to catch up to my estranged best friend. I’ll admit it had been a little weird, going so long without talking to Taelor, and I really did miss her. And besides, she’d been totally right. She sometimes was, even more so when it came to guys. Damn. It was time for some serious […]

Chapter 16. It probably wasn’t such a great thing that I couldn’t fall asleep until well after midnight, going over every small little detail that happened at Thanksgiving dinner. That, and I didn’t get home until midnight, too. Thankfully, Mrs. Ellis, the woman who was “supposed” to be “checking in on me” usually had her lights out by at least eight in the evening, so I knew I wasn’t going […]

Chapter 15. Archer was up and out of his seat without a word a second after I’d finished speaking, jumping across the front counter to sprint to the kitchen. Every single pair of eyes at the table were on me, each expression on their faces more worried than the next. “Hadley,” Victoria snapped. “What happened?” “Uhm…” I trailed off, biting my lip. I couldn’t exactly say I knew what the […]
