“Why?” Ashley looked into her Mom’s eyes from the passenger seat of the blue car. They are pulled over on the side of the road, after driving for hours the tension that seemed to echo throughout the whole car, suffocating them to the point of pulling over. Her Mom glances up from the steering wheel that she has been staring at for ten minutes in silence. She turns to the side slightly in her seat and looks at her young teenage daughter next to her. “Why what?” “Why are you so for sending Gramps away from us?” Ashley's lower...

Sequel to the last story, Let This Last Forever. Her hands play mindlessly with her pink ruffled dress. She wraps her fingers around the end of the pink silk bow attached to her hip as her eyes constantly scan the room for him. As she looks around the big gym floor the soft smile on her face seems to slowly downward at the feeling that coming tonight was a mistake. Kenzie can see all of her classmates being twirled and swung around, their laughter and giggles echo repeatedly in her head as if they are purposely mocking her. She wonders if ...

She says goodbye to her bus driver, her small hand waving rapidly in the air. Kenzie has a grin from ear to ear as she turns away and starts running up her dirt driveway, her pink princess backpack flailing in the wind on her shoulders.

His dark green eyes seem to stare into Addison's back relentlessly. She could feel him watching her since she walked into the grocery store. She went aisle by aisle, picking up random produce and snacks as she walks around. Her heart is pounding loudly and she thinks for a moment that it might come out of her chest. Her hands tremble slightly as she picks up the chicken noodle soup, her eyes not even registering what she put in the cart. She is too focused on the man at the end of the aisle, who seems to appear at every turn. At first,...

Her breathing hitches rapidly as her eyes stare trained on the building in front of her. Madison has been searching for the last couple of years in a desperate search for the building in front of her. The outside of the building is covered in moss, dirt, and grime. The windows are tall, almost resembling a door, and are pitch black, so she can’t see inside them no matter how much she tries. The building itself is made from bricks that have started to decay over time, leaving a rundown appearance. Madison feels her mouth forming a slight grin...

She can hear the voice through the study room. Her ear is pressing against the brown wooden door. Mackenzie didn’t mean to listen to the conversation, but she can’t help herself. She had been walking down the hallway trying to get to her room before her roommate noticed. When she heard the voice echoing through the study room door. She fidgets in the doorway, her feet alternating from the floor to her tippy toes as she sways up and down. She bit her lip in nerves, she knew she should not be doing this, but the second she heard the “Mackenzie...
