《Charlotte & the Seven Frat Brothers: The Interns (Book 2)》18 (Part 1)
Advertisement
You know the feeling you get when you know you did something wrong...but don't want to admit it. That's me right now. Well, that has been me all morning. Miguel made it very clear that if he finds out I let Jasper in the apartment he had some colorful words for me. Technically I didn't let him in. He waited in the hallway. I don't know if I should have come all the way upstate with Jasper. I just really wanted to know more about the Tucker family—well more than what Google has told me. So, when Jasper invited me to lunch with his parents I said why not.
I thought about telling the guys but I knew they wouldn't understand.
The drive upstate was awkward, to say the least. Jasper barely said much to me. We listened to the radio majority of the drive. Two hours without actually having a conversation wasn't fun. I think I took about two naps. We reached his parent's home and I didn't think I could get out the car fast enough. I just wanted to be near other people, who would actually speak.
There are two more cars out front, probably belonging to his parents. So he didn't lie when he said they will both be here. Before entering the house he tells me that his father can be a bit of an asshole and not to take what he said seriously. Well, that is easier said than done. Jasper opens the front door allowing me to go in first and I see Chase walk by.
I freeze.
What.
The.
Hell.
"Cupcake?"
"Hi." I wave awkwardly. Oh, this is bad...real bad.
"Whose cupcake?" Jasper walks in, standing off to the side. Looking at Chase and me. I don't have a lie on the tip of my tongue, so I am just going to stay quiet on this one. Chase opens his mouth to speak, but I beautiful baby girl about four years old comes running into the foyer screaming dada—at Jasper.

"Hey princess," he picks her up, placing a kiss on her forehead. "Have you been good to Nana?"
She nods her head yes. Austin comes crawling into the foyer I'm assuming he was playing with the baby. He stops mid crawl when he sees Jasper, but his eyes get wide when he sees me. I toss my head back coming to the realization that all the guys are here. Counting to ten slowly I look back at Chase and he is pissed off. Austin stands up and greets me.
"Hi to you too Austin, question are you all here?" I just need reassurance to what I already know.
"Yeah," he drags out. "I'm going to go back in the living room." He steps back slowly.
"I'll come with you." I rush out, walking quickly towards him. I didn't want to be left alone with Jasper or Chase and I definitely didn't want to explain the whole cupcake thing.
"Not so fast," Chase grabs my elbow and steers me in the other direction. "We need to talk."
Jasper looks torn between wanting to follow us and staying with his child. I can't believe he has a child. Holy hell.
"What do you think you're doing?" he whisper-yells at me once we make it into the kitchen. "Why are you with my brother?"
"First of all let me go," I snatch my arm away from him. "Secondly, it shouldn't matter what I do and who I do it with. You lied to me and—"
"Charles cut the shit. What I did doesn't compare or even come close to this shit. The guys are right about one thing...you keep putting your nose in shit it has no business being in."
"Excuse me!?"

"You heard me Charlotte, you keep doing this. Why did you come here?" He steps closer to me. "Do you like to see me stress out and worried about you? I told you my family isn't the Brady Bunch. Why are you doing this?"
"Because Chase you won't give me answers. How are we supposed to get married one day and I don't know anything about you or your family. Huh? Tell me how? You can't because you want to keep this mysterious thing going about yourself." I close the space between us.
"That's a stupid reason." He lifts my chin and kisses me deeply. "God I miss you." He whispers on my lips.
You remember me saying earlier, you know the feeling you get when you know you did something wrong...but don't want to admit it. That's me right now. Hell, that's me and Chase right now. Making out in his parents' kitchen with everyone home is the worst thing right now. I want to break the kiss, but I miss him just as much.
"Chase," I moan as he begins to kiss my neck.
"Ace! Whatcha doing?"
The sound of the little girl's voice has me shook. I know who is behind us and I'm not sure how much he has heard. I'm starting to believe in that saying what happens in the dark will come to light. Chase takes a step back and I just stay still, I can't turn around. This is not how I wanted Jasper to find out. But really what did I expect I am having a full-on make-out session in their parent's kitchen.
"Hey there Princess." Chase disappears behind me and I'm sticking to my word of not turning around. I take interest in the kitchen now. Beautifully decorated and everything.
"Oh Jasper sweetie, I didn't think you were going to make it. Ah, I see you invited a friend." Oh crap, that must be his mother.
Please floor just open up and swallow me now.
"Actually, this is Chase's friend or should I say, fiancé. Charlotte, why don't you turn around and say hello to our mother." Jasper's voice is cold and I don't have to see his face to know he is pissed off.
"Oh Chase, fiancé hmm?" their mother doesn't sound mad but not happy either.
Slowly I turn around and smile. My smile probably looks like Wednesday Addams' creepy smile. Their mother looks me up and down at least twice before taking a step back. I slowly stop smiling and wave hi.
"Lily?" she quickly wipes her eyes. "Did I die and this is all a dream? Oh hell, I must be dead." She starts to panic and starts to question myself too. Does that mean I'm dead or am I dreaming all of this?
"No mother you are very much alive. This is Charlotte Withers, my fri—my fiancé. She resemblance Lily because" he pauses. "That's her cousin." Chase just dropped a bomb and I think I am not ready. This can't be happening. I would know if I had a cousin name Lily that I look like. My parents have never mentioned a Lily at all. I think back to holidays and nope no Lily. The room fills like its closing in on me as its spinning and everything fades to black.

Doctored Chance: The Unpleasant Preceding of "Pajama Boy" and What Drove Him to Murder
I, Mick Chadwick, regret to inform my readers that this memoir contains nothing but the truth, which in the case of Tobias MacClain, most ridiculed as Pajama Boy, is far from pleasant. If you seek to relate to a hero more than to aspire to them and have the stomach for unpleasant things such as a hero left for dead, villainous scars, bomb threats, and murderous intent, then look no further. All of these gruesome things and more await from my research, and though I do not wish them on any man or woman, I cannot bear this burden on my own much longer. In the words of Tobias MacClain himself, "Sometimes, a villainous act can cause the greatest good." I hope that all my villainous acts of sneaking, blackmailing, diary-reading, and grave-digging, among others, will be redeemed as I present this complete and truthful memoir to the world, and with any luck, open eyes to the truth of what we call "villainy". Doctored Chance: The Unpleasant Preceding of "Pajama Boy" and What Drove Him to Murder ********* MATURE FILTER IS FOR:- violence- graphic imagery (blood, burns, fairly dark headspaces)- cartoon depiction of burn scars for visual aid Despite graphics, Mick Chadwick's writing keeps Mr. MacClain's terrible tale light somehow. This is foremostly a comedy.

Heaven Falls
-Book One Synposis- Vorlanys. A realm created by the angels for mortals. For millennia, many angels have lived amongst the mortals, aiding the mortals in their advancement. The High Angel Forynda has only tolerated this, however. She is concerned that ultimately the flaws of both angels and mortals would combine to create a cataclysm that would shatter both Vorlanys and the angels' home realm of Ceuna. Tragedies, unforeseen by any mortal or angel, set in motion that long-feared calamity and hurtle both worlds toward an irrevocable conflagration. Neither will ever be the same. Follow the lives of multiple characters, from lowly inhabitants of minor villages to the angels of Ceuna themselves, as they experience this approaching doom. *** -Book Two Synopsis- Ceuna has divided. Angels and mortals have taken their sides in a war for the fate of Vorlanys. Forynda, the High Angel and ruler of Ceuna, intends to end the entire struggle in a swift and decisive stroke with her awesome power. Meanwhile, the dissident angels, led by Omonrel, and their mortal allies cling to a thin hope that fate will break in their favor. All hopes for a quick end to the conflict will soon be dashed, however, to the detriment of all sides. The war for Vorlanys will take on a frightening new turn while mortals and angels alike discover previously unknown truths about their reality. ~~~ Some additional comments for readers: This is a project with a very ambitious arc encompassing a huge number of characters over a long period of time. If you are looking for a tight focus on just a handful of characters, that's not this story. It is meant to provide a broad series of perspectives on an absolutely calamitous world-shaping war. Thanks for reading and be sure to leave comments, ratings, and reviews at your convenience. I love hearing from you.
