At every angle of me there were cowering paparazzi dying to get a word out of me. But I had strict orders not to to speak due to a minor incident once upon a time.724Please respect copyright.PENANAow8UrSj8KE
Really though how was I supposed to know that the hot detective staying in one of our guest rooms was top secret.724Please respect copyright.PENANA9bg0QFvyJZ
Long story short we lost 2 (irrelevant) allies because of the slip up.724Please respect copyright.PENANAMcXRe3ggWG
We finally made it back to the black Chevrolet and I took of my heels as soon as I got in the back.724Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ak4mjdNh5
"Why do I have to where heels all the time , I'm already tall Josephine," I leaned over 724Please respect copyright.PENANAX2N37zlfGL
"So secret service can catch you if you try to run off," Grace muttered as she put in smaller earrings .724Please respect copyright.PENANAbmMAdYekQL
"It's not safe that you think I can't run in heels. I can beat your ass in heels too so next time mine your own business. I was asking Josephine," I remarked.724Please respect copyright.PENANAOnOBYJyMyD
"Don't talk to your big sister like that and put your seatbelt on Vivienne ," my father chimed in.724Please respect copyright.PENANA7WsfPF4RPe
I wasn't talking to you either , I wanted to say.724Please respect copyright.PENANAKL3zeTQA5T
I sat back down and platted Verity's hair through the headrest.724Please respect copyright.PENANAO9tQGnifnu
The car was quiet again except for the quit hum of the air conditioner. 724Please respect copyright.PENANAvaHTrKKWkg
As soon as we arrived at the the house I went into my room and changed out of the bathroom blazer and midi skirt Grace put me in and tried to take off the silver necklace. But my hair was stuck tangled with it. Untangling it did more damage than good since I had a fist sized knot in my hair.724Please respect copyright.PENANAqZOoPHtSLf
I let out a growl of frustration and look in the bathroom for scissors. There was none so I checked in Verity's stationary pouch but with my luck she didn't have any there. Their were scissors in the kitchen but the cook wouldn't let me use them. something or the other about sanitation. I put my pride aside and knocked on Graces door.724Please respect copyright.PENANArItXGcRDJ0
" Do you have scissors, there's a necklace stuck in my hair,"724Please respect copyright.PENANApiFZBxUcDt
"Pull it out," She said without even looking my way.724Please respect copyright.PENANAqYFwpWc2IO
"My hair doesn't work like,"724Please respect copyright.PENANAz7UU0fiIp8
"Then that's your business, leave me alone,"724Please respect copyright.PENANAINGYZam8sR
How hard was it to find scissors. Maybe their was a razor or an axe or something in the storeroom. All the way at the back of the house their was the stair way upstairs to the attic. My hair really didn't need anymore damaging and the heavy silver was starting tug on it.724Please respect copyright.PENANAXTpOxzS131
The attic was dark and dusty. If there was any electricity here I couldn't find the light switch so i drew the curtains of the window. I had only been here once when Verity and I were playing hide and seek. She never founded so i doubt even she knew about it. The space was wide and everything was organised up on shelves.Old pots and pans, Wires, empty boxes, forgotten toys and things we didn't need lying around the house. 724Please respect copyright.PENANAJksKmspKBq
A Container labels 'tools' caught my eye so I reached for it. I wasn't used to not being able to reach things so it came as a surprise to me when my hands just grazed the bottom of the box. Taking it as a challenge I hopped up and down like an idiot, trying to get the container. 724Please respect copyright.PENANAW7u7xlNYOf
My feet landed on a loose floorboard and I felt like i had fallen through the whole storey. But I had only slipped on the floorboard and shifted it out of its place.724Please respect copyright.PENANAlaBJ2EckLy
"I should really go on that diet," I muttered to my self as I massaged my right foot. I went to put the floorboard back but my eyes caught the flash of something metal under it. I lifted the thin slab all the way and was met with a large collection of papers and notebooks. The flash was from the ferrule of a pencil. But my attention had shifted somewhere else.724Please respect copyright.PENANAEM490i2Hqj
On the label of a black and white composition book, discoloured with age was my birth mothers name printed in cursive handwriting. I opened the book and a loose page fell out. It looked like a story. I noticed it was dated almost a year before my birthday.724Please respect copyright.PENANAPuEeowAFGw

Phia isn't a stranger to Stevie's outbursts. But this is different. Stevie is sitting on the Wheeping Tree moving her hands animatedly to justify her words. Not that she needs to. Stevie is a talker. Talkers are good at getting things. Even things they don't want. 724Please respect copyright.PENANAe1t83QUlBL
"Stevie, I don't understand what you're trying to say," Phia finally says. 724Please respect copyright.PENANAKnqUQUu5wO
Her dark hair is dancing behind her and it looks soft. Phia looks soft but she really isn't. Her words are sharp and her gaze is warm. Warm like when you open a hot oven and you forget how to breathe when you're face is too close.724Please respect copyright.PENANAbvSrIzQyU3
"Phia, i'm screwed. Phia i'm pregnant," Stevie almost whispers.724Please respect copyright.PENANAr1fELZaKMN
Stevie who makes the sun shine look faint, has never looked so dim herself. Her red hair gathered in a bun above her head bobs with her as she lets out a defeated sigh.724Please respect copyright.PENANAkrs3cOzoU9
"Who?"724Please respect copyright.PENANApEVMjB7juD
Phia seems to have lost her ability to speak. After all Stevie is the talker.724Please respect copyright.PENANA1byanCqYaN
"You're making me sound like a slut Phia. You already know it's Jules',"724Please respect copyright.PENANAi87P84iI4O
"But it can't be,”724Please respect copyright.PENANAyYPiMhMWDT
Stevie now bothered the fact that phia thought it could be someone else's replies, "Why can't it be?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAnOIGbkYizr
"Don't get defensive it's just that so is Lyn,"724Please respect copyright.PENANAXxV7V9h1Io
"Jules'?"724Please respect copyright.PENANAjzyfjtstJg
Phia nods.724Please respect copyright.PENANAtmRnfrlTe4
"What's mine," 724Please respect copyright.PENANANJbOvNHlDk
Jules has arrived with Reece and where Jules goes, Lyn follows so she isn't far behind them."724Please respect copyright.PENANAC0VlInyWD3
"The award for the biggest sissy in the 20th century. I can't believe you won't do it" Stevie says feigning to be untroubled.724Please respect copyright.PENANAHgvhqAbdwL
Phia looks between the three and prepares herself for the newest chapter of their friendship. 724Please respect copyright.PENANAQVKQLTad4V
"Finally decided to stop cursing and act like a lady,huh? Reece chimes in and grazes his hair through his dark hair.724Please respect copyright.PENANAyeueflDbZe
"Why don't you go suck someone off at-" Stevie started.724Please respect copyright.PENANAOV37fXmsFh
"There's a Lyn here, language" Jules says.724Please respect copyright.PENANAwEvcN2pXC3
Lyn blushes at the comment and fidgets with her long buttery blonde hair. You wouldn't think they were a couple with how formal they behaved around each other. 724Please respect copyright.PENANAS1EBaEx353
Stevie the talker loses her desire to speak and jumps from The Wheeping tree landing between Jules and Lyn. She grabs Reece's arm and pulls him away from the argument he was having with Phia about the difference between communism and socialism.724Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z1edhHkvz
"We have school," She announces and leaves without waiting for a reply.724Please respect copyright.PENANAiViXL6WrJB
"What's her problem?" Jules questions.724Please respect copyright.PENANAbkBcRcwagE
"You fucked up Jules," Phia says finally as she gets up and leaves the two alone724Please respect copyright.PENANAl7J69Nj1Cf
