LWLU – Sara’s Pain

For the second time that night, Sara forced her eyes open and had trouble making sense of the world around her. The first time, she’d been safely in her bed, recovering from the effects of too much to drink. This time… [Read more...]

LWLU – Paul’s Secret

Even as their breathing was still fighting to return to normal, a realization crystalized in Sara’s brain. She’d never stopped loving Michael. It had been a fool’s errand for her to spend the last five years trying to pretend as though she didn’t.

But she loved Paul, too. [Read more...]

LWLU – Lovers Reunited

Michael’s words tumbled around in her weary brain until her mind was able to make sense of them. “If you’re not engaged, why did you tell me you were going to propose?”

“To see if that would make you jealous at all.” [Read more...]

LWLU – Jealous Spark

It took Sara several of the longest moments of her life to makes sense of the world around her. Nothing made sense. Even being in a room she knew as well as this one was like the disorientation people described when traveling in foreign lands. [Read more...]

LWLU – Belated Truth

The harsh winds started to die down at some point while Sara sat on the floor of the carriage house, pondering what the purpose of a carriage house was supposed to be. It was an absurd thing to think about – especially now, given everything that had gone on over the last two days – yet it was oddly comforting, pondering how some common things from the past could be so utterly nonsensical when held under modern scrutiny. It also gave her a solid distraction from the way the stable walls of her life were crumbling around her.

Of all people, why did Paul have to be letting her down? [Read more...]

LWLU – Cruel Intentions

In the years since her sixteenth birthday, Sara had come to expect that her birthdays would be a disaster. Granted, she thought the extent of this party’s horrors would be the table fire and Michael’s games. In even her worst nightmares, she wouldn’t have imagined getting trapped in the house with Paul’s vengeful ex-girlfriend would be on the agenda for this birthday.

But it did explain a great deal about the blonde’s behavior since her arrival yesterday. [Read more...]

LWLU – Empty Soul

Sara would’ve breathed a sigh of relief when Paul and Carly rushed to her aid, but she was so cold and tired that taking more than her slow, shallow breaths was too much of an effort. She would be safe now. She let her eyes slip closed, guarding against the bitter winds now that she knew she wouldn’t have to worry about getting raped tonight. [Read more...]

LWLU – Secret Plans

Michael looked uncomfortable, clearly not wanting to answer Nika’s question. Considering he’d seemed so adamant to tell Sara about it this morning, his hesitance was strange. Whatever it was, he must not want Nika to know.

Interesting. [Read more...]

LWLU – That Girl

Sara was starting to lose feeling in her fingers when she heard a commotion coming from the Siskin house. She didn’t have any concept of how long she’d been huddled in the snow by the fence. She only knew it was cold.

“Dude, did you see that? Linc punched his brother so hard that I heard him thud to the ground all the way downstairs.” [Read more...]

LWLU – Pregnancy Revealed

Sara hated making an ass of herself at parties. Even without the scars from that fateful high school party so many years ago, that alone would have been enough to make her stop going to parties. It was always her friends who insisted on throwing them.

But stopping Nika from forgetfully taking a drink that could hurt her unborn child was worth it. [Read more...]

LWLU – Impaired Judgment

“I never knew the back seat was the warmest part of the car,” Sara mused once Sucre had closed the door behind them, blocking out the night’s howling winds.

He grinned at her. “I know all sorts of things most people don’t.” After a beat, “So, you and Kellerman?” [Read more...]

LWLU – Rebound Guy

Sara hated parties where she made a total ass of herself. Without fail, something always happened to make her regret going the next day. She should really just stop going to parties.

And as parties wore on, it always got worse. [Read more...]

LWLU – The Baby

“Let me make sure I understand what’s going on,” Jane began, clearly confused. “You dated back in high school, he cheated on you and now you’re talking about marrying him?”

Sara sighed. Of course it would look that way to someone on the outside of things. “There’s a little more to it than that.” [Read more...]

LWLU – Michael’s Betrayal

It took Sara another ten minutes after Nika left to screw up enough courage to leave the bathroom in search of Michael. For all she knew, he’d already left with Jess. Based on the way he’d been all hands with her just before the party, he was desperate to get laid tonight. It probably didn’t matter to him which one of his girlfriends he was with.

Sara shoved that thought out of her mind. It was too painful. [Read more...]
