“Esmé ” by Isabella DJ

Esmé has always been different. She was a quiet girl. And special. Very special. I know every older sister would think that their younger sister was special but Esmé was reallyspecial. No one else was special in the same way she was.  My and Esmé’s mother died when we she was still very young, so as her older sister who was ten years wiser than her, I took on the role as her motherly guardian.  Mother’s death was an accident.

Ashlynn stormed into the room, but it was too late. She saw him fall to the ground, blood draining from his chest. “NO!” she cried. “Aiden, no! NO!

Mara’s mother won a free cruise online. But, being a single mom managing three side jobs, her mother gave the ticket to Mara to go away for the weekend. “Thanks, mom, but I don’t wanna go without you!” said the seventeen-year-old girl. “Of course you don’t, Mara, but this’ll be good for you!” Mara’s mother smiled stubbornly.
