Hot Chapters

Chapter 1: The Meeting

“I’m Getting Married!!!” I sat at the kitchen table, my mouth slightly ajar, struggling to process the bombshell my mom had just dropped. Married? To whom? What? My thoughts spiraled like a runaway carousel. She was getting married? How could this be happening? I hadn’t even met the guy. What if I didn’t like him? Worse—what if he didn’t like me? Did he have kids? What if we couldn’t stand each other? My heart thundered in my chest, the beginnings of panic clawing their way up my throat.

Chapter 2: The Reveal

“We’re going to be moving into Brad and Haden’s house.” My mom repeated it softly but firmly, her tone tinged with that persistent, mom-knows-best finality. Her gaze locked on me, expectant and unwavering. The room was silent except for the clinking of utensils from a nearby table. I felt their anticipation pressing down on me, waiting for me to say something. Anything.

Chapter 3: More of The Same

I gasped as I was yanked into a dark, empty classroom and shoved against the wall. Pain radiated through my back from the force, and tears burned the corners of my eyes as I stared into those familiar green orbs. “Are you avoiding me?” Haden’s voice was rough, low, and edged with irritation.

Chapter 4: Moving in

Later that evening, I returned home around nine, feeling worn out. Morgan had kept me busy all day to help me avoid being home alone with Haden. We’d had ice cream, shopped at the mall, and even run into Tanya and her mom. By the time I got home, I just wanted to collapse into bed. Locking the front door behind me, I trudged upstairs. As I neared Haden’s room, muffled moans reached my ears. I rolled my eyes and picked up my pace, trying to ignore it.
