Twelve Years Ago

you did the right thing for your family. Think of this as a fresh start.

There was no way I could get a fresh start without Lucas. Where was he in all of this? If he said to my face that I forced myself on him or that I had other boys, it would be easy to deal with the heartbreak. However, I lost two things; my baby and a chance to properly fall in love with Lucas. 

I didn't miss him because I still liked him, I missed him because I wanted to see the kind of smile he had on his face when he ruined my life.

Twelve Years Ago

"Fuck…yeah…just like that. Yes, yes…"

I turned out from the loud, maybe fake, moans from Davina. I was at a party, drunk a little and having the time of my day after two months of hell. 

So, it didn't matter whether Daisy was screaming like a banshee or not, at least, she wouldn't disappear in the morning.
