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.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK2rwGrt9z
Really though how was I supposed to know that the hot detective staying in one of our guest rooms was top secret.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYBbKwlyDl
Long story short we lost 2 (irrelevant) allies because of the slip up.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe47qT3kheS
We finally made it back to the black Chevrolet and I took of my heels as soon as I got in the back.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBeXKPNLjN
"Why do I have to where heels all the time , I'm already tall Josephine," I leaned over 901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtryaUnhACc
"So secret service can catch you if you try to run off," Grace muttered as she put in smaller earrings .901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpFz8sShFS
"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.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxujkTN6Q5T
"Don't talk to your big sister like that and put your seatbelt on Vivienne ," my father chimed in.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM8MfXE06g
I wasn't talking to you either , I wanted to say.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNQqKQ2x9i
I sat back down and platted Verity's hair through the headrest.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iWEG6r7ah
The car was quiet again except for the quit hum of the air conditioner. 901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCjyerFc2j
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.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC3kxQGaBo
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.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jtnH87qzg
" Do you have scissors, there's a necklace stuck in my hair,"901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3peLwkimk
"Pull it out," She said without even looking my way.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjrpwmMU7x
"My hair doesn't work like,"901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb6Z0rHFIr
"Then that's your business, leave me alone,"901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWUaOzVDby
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.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwlagtk5GI
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. 901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjIKUFM9fe
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. 901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sjWlxTPiA
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.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpS6Kh3nNC
"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.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP8TfvApIC
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.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwuRFGPLLE

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. 901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX3FflpDFc
"Stevie, I don't understand what you're trying to say," Phia finally says. 901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQJIDdMfBu
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.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBznEcPk3L
"Phia, i'm screwed. Phia i'm pregnant," Stevie almost whispers.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87WM07eyAo
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.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbmpDzChyz
"Who?"901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6ipNiAOR7
Phia seems to have lost her ability to speak. After all Stevie is the talker.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTJCDTtJjM
"You're making me sound like a slut Phia. You already know it's Jules',"901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEcOUQCCjX
"But it can't be,”901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE63gIM1MUG
Stevie now bothered the fact that phia thought it could be someone else's replies, "Why can't it be?"901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWj0ojF4mR
"Don't get defensive it's just that so is Lyn,"901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7HM0JT02P
"Jules'?"901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9NfZF6ie5
Phia nods.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7hwXZbMM9
"What's mine," 901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2izcy2Y4j
Jules has arrived with Reece and where Jules goes, Lyn follows so she isn't far behind them."901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7faJyVzvqr
"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.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnXhRro4Hj
Phia looks between the three and prepares herself for the newest chapter of their friendship. 901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqy44q1FES
"Finally decided to stop cursing and act like a lady,huh? Reece chimes in and grazes his hair through his dark hair.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lze7TUPpe
"Why don't you go suck someone off at-" Stevie started.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWdKhh6jTV
"There's a Lyn here, language" Jules says.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNUv0TGTl1
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. 901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOwlWAmcxP
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.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKTQyAiQoQ
"We have school," She announces and leaves without waiting for a reply.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iTgiY7FBr
"What's her problem?" Jules questions.901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8T0ypXwF3
"You fucked up Jules," Phia says finally as she gets up and leaves the two alone901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyK4EUTXxm
