Sophia’s POV:“What are we going to do daddy?” I asked taking his hand in mine. “There is nothing much left to do, sweetheart. If your mother agrees to this divorce then we’ll have to sign papers and that will be that. But if she restrains from it then matters will go to court. Your mother is a lot of things but she is not a fool. She will not advertise her affair. She will, hopefully, agree to this divorce.”“And you are sure about it? This divorce I mean?” I asked.He looked at me and kissing the back of my hand, “Listen to me sweetheart, I know this will be very tough for you but I need you to be strong. Nothing is hidden. You know what your mother did. You know my side of the story,” he cupped my cheek, “At this point; I suppose divorce is the only logical and the right thing to do” he kissed my forehead, “I am truly sorry Sophia”He got up and went to his office room. His words echoed in my ears. Suddenly, it was hard to breathe. I know mum was wrong. She most definitely deserve
“I don’t want to go today” she whined. “Anna, you promised you were going to make it right. And you made me promise to come with you. You’re going Anna” I firmly told her.“You are delaying it because you’re afraid and it is alright to be afraid, Anna. But you know the saying, the sooner the better. Lilly is right. You have to do it today” Beth nodded with me. She was glowering at us, “What if she refuses hmm? What if she refuses to let me back in?”“I think you know the answer to that Anna”“She is your mother Anna, whatever differences you have had were in the past; she is still your mother,” Beth held her shoulder. “I’ll drive” I offered. In the next few minutes we were on the road, off to Mr. Andersons’ place. I prayed and hoped it would work out. They want her back. I could see it in their eyes at Christmas. How much longer do they have to be like this?“Are you ready?” Beth asked.“No,” Anna whispered, “I’m not ready.”“That’s why we are here with you Anna. Come on” We got o
Edward’s POV:“How are you doing?” I asked as I entered her room. It was like a typical girl’s room. The color of the walls emerald green and pastel pink couches and sofas. A coffee table was in the middle with a few books scattered. The cushions matched the wall color. She had huge stuffed animals and a rack full of books. Sophie’s room was neat and elegant like her personality.“You won’t believe what happened Edward” she chimed.“Seems like you’re doing just fine” I sat on the couch picking up a book from there. “Fifty shades darker? Never thought you were into fifty shades” “Change is good Edward. Olivia lent it to me”I responded quickly, “Yeah seems like Livy. Wait! You and Livy are friends?”“Why wouldn’t we be?”I looked at her and shrugged, “Never mind” “Anyways, I have to tell you something important Edward.”“Good news or bad?”“Definitely good” she was smiling. Must be something really good.“Carry on then,” I said as I skimmed through the first few pages of the book.
“Hello son!”I moved aside to give Andy some space to come forward. “Dad!” he didn’t smile shock was still there. “Are you not happy to see me?”He blinked as if coming back to reality, “Of course I am,” he smiled, “Come in” “Who is it?” Ed asked.“Long time no see Eddie boy”“Mr. Smith” Ed let out his charming smile and hugged him. “Ah, look at you” I’m sorry, wasn’t Andy his son? Andy and Mr. Smith were supposed to meet like the way he and Ed were meeting and hugging and smiling. “It’s good to see you after all these years, Mr. Smith” I glanced at Andy. Baffled, he stood still. I felt bad for him. Tip toeing my way to his side, I rubbed his back as a gesture of saying, ‘It will be fine” There is nothing wrong in being optimistic.We were seated in the common room. “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”Andy released a mocking snicker, “Oh, I have a lot of things to say. And ask? Like for an instance…why have you never called?”“I had my reasons”“Well please. Share them with m
I drove the car back with the words of Sophia echoing in my head. “Listen to me Lilly, whatever you think was going on between Edward and I, was all false”“It was all false.” I said out to myself.“I came back with my father because he was filing a divorce. Edward was really just helping me through it. He’s gone through one.”“They were not dating. You fool! They weren’t dating,” I laughed at myself. My cheeks were red with the warming truth and ecstasy building inside me.I parked Andy’s car and ran to find Ed. I looked at our usual bench from a distance; not there. However, the gang was still seated there. They looked rather happy. I was passing the ground, scanning every face. There he was! A huge wide smile appeared on my face and I made a run towards him. I almost made a run towards him but I stopped, the smile slowly wavering off.One random girl hugged him and kissed him on his cheek. He smiled at her. I looked at the ground, thwarted. Scoffing to myself I thought, some other t
“Grandma, I’m going to the market. Do you need something?” I called as I rushed towards the front door.“No sweetie, but do bring the stuff we need for the movie,” she shouted from the kitchen.My name is Lily Lodge. I’m 18 years old. People best describe me as a sweet yet strong girl. Maybe that’s because my parents passed away in a car accident w
Tuesday dawned. I gave Mandy my number and offered help whenever she needed it. I owed her. I wore blue fitted jeans and a black T-Shirt to college. With a neat pony tail and black joggers I walked through college grounds.“Lilly?” someone called.I stopped and turned around. What I saw made my heart skip a beat.“Anna?”
My eye’s fluttered open when I heard drawers opening and closing. I got up and saw Ed in light blue jeans and a denim blue shirt with a small towel around his neck. His hair was wet and rough. That gave a very sexy look. He looked at me over his shoulders. “I didn’t wake you, did I?”“No,” then an afterthought struck me, “wait, we’re not late for school because of me right?”
