Olivia's pov

I read something by J. R. Rogue, which says, "as children, we were fascinated by magic, as adults, we fear love, at what point did we forget they are the same thing?"

I think the second type of pain that I have experienced (the first being from home), was with Colin.

You know what they say about first-timers, it was hard to forget about him. It was like, he was stuck in my head and mind.

I thought of him all day, I waited for him to call and apologize and tell me that he was sorry but he never did. I had to learn to let it go all on my own.

It taught me something vital that would help me throughout my other relationships.

365 fucking days and counting. That is how long it takes to fail to remember a moment of touch. So before contacting anything or being contacted.

Recall these words, since it will not be sheep that you will count around evening time, however, days until you are valiant enough again for a touch.

I never gained anything from the relationship I was in

    Eloise's pov“Finally” Eloise had said relieved that we managed to get in early. We were in our seats at exactly 7:36. While waiting for the show to start, Rose and Jon were arguing about who was smarter and would not get caught if they had decided to not buy tickets and sneak in. Sometimes, it’s like these two forget that I am nearby. I love how they are with each other, they could not talk to each other for some minutes and look like worst enemies to each other and the next minute, they could pass for Jane Austen’s Mr. Darcy and Elisabeth Bennett. I must say, I envy it sometimes, Jane Austen's side, not MGM's Tom and Jerry side.“Who do you think it is?” Rose had asked bringing me back to the moment. I was lost for a minute there, lost in my thoughts“Think about what?”“See Rose, I told you Eloise is not her usual self”“C'mon guys, I was just thinking. We all think about things right? I am more than my usual self today. I would not be with you guys here if I wasn’t”“Eloise de

    Sylvester's povIt is hard to explain mom's sudden travel. Mom was always worried about where I went, who I met, and if I stayed too long outdoors.It seemed there was more to this than meets the eye. It was unusual, most of all, she had not called since she left.I know I think I can handle myself without her but sincerely, I miss her. The house feels empty and I miss her waking me up in the mornings, seeing the worried look on her face, and her meals.Honestly, deep down, I believed that she was okay. This assurance of faith I could not explain how, but I just knew she was fine and in most instances, my instincts never fail me. ****"Sylvester, are you ditching on me? I have spent almost 30 minutes waiting for you.

Paying more attention to Amber was a way of helping me get through whatever it was I felt for her.But you know what they say about first impressions, "first impressions always leave a lasting impression" and Amber did not help matters either. She did not fail to introduce me to Joan as a flirt and had already told her of all my romantic escapades with ladies.At first, it did not bother me. It was a thing of joy and pride when Amber talked endlessly about her it was so easy for me to sweep a lady off her feet.They called me "the ladies man" you know I would brag.On one of those days, Amber had told Kira of a young lady who would not stop calling her to help her appeal to me if I would want to take her back, even as just a friend.

    Anonymous' povI have no idea how long I lay beneath the planks of wood and heavy clay tiles of the crumpled breezeway. Looking back, I realize I must have lost consciousness, if only for a few minutes.All I can remember is something sharp hitting me on the head, and the next thing I knew, I’d opened my eyes to consummate blackness and a feeling that I was being suppressed.A favorite trick of some poltergeists is to sit on their victim’s chest while he or she is just waking, so that the poor soul feels he or she is being suppressed, but can’t see why. I couldn’t see why, and for a second or two I thought I’d failed and that Heather was still in this world, sitting on my chest, torturing me, getting her revenge for what I’d tried to do. Then I thought, Maybe I’m dead.I don’t know why. But it occurred to me. Maybe this was how being dead felt. At first, anyway. This must have been how it was for Heather when she woke up in her coffin. She must have felt the same way I did: trap

    “Come on. Let’s get out of here before somebody comes. They were bound to have heard all that.” I nodded toward the part of the building where the priests and nuns lived. Lights had come on in some of the windows. “I don’t want to get you guys in trouble.”“Yeah,” Sleepy said, getting up. “Well, you might have thought of that before you snuck out, huh?”We left the way we’d come in. Like me, David had wriggled in beneath the front gate, then unlocked it from the inside and let Sleepy in. We slipped out as quietly as we could and hurried to the car, which Sleepy had parked in some shadows, out of sight of the police car. Still, I didn’t want to risk anything by trying to sneak past the officer and retrieve my bike. We just left it there and hoped no one would notice it.The whole way home, my new big brother Jake lectured me.He thought I’d been at the school in the middle of the night as part of some sort of gang initiation.

    Joan's povHe spent a half hour grilling me pretty thoroughly…but not about what had happened the night before. To my astonishment, Sylvester and Doc had kept their mouths shut. Andy was perfectly in the dark about what had happened. All he wanted to know was whether I liked my new school, if I was happy, blah, blah, blah….Except for one thing. He did say to me, as he was asking me how I liked California, and was so very different from New York, uh, duh.“So, I guess you slept straight through your first earthquake.”I nearly choked on a chip. “What?”“Your first quake. There was one last night, around two in the morning. Not a big one, really—roundabout four-pointer—but it woke me up. No damage, except down at the Misstly. Breezeway collapsed But then, that should come as no surprise to them. I’ve been warning them for years about that timber. It’s nearly as old as the Mission itself. Can’t be expected to last forever.”I chewed more carefully. Wow. Heather’s good-bye bang must ha

    Gonzalez walked away from the courthouse, deep in thought. He couldn't believe that his former partner had betrayed him, but he also couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right. As he turned the corner, he saw a familiar face."Hey, Gonzalez," a voice called out.It was the Black Panther. Gonzalez felt a surge of anger and fear, and he took a step back."What do you want?" he asked, his voice low."I just wanted to congratulate you on your victory," the Black Panther said, a sly smile on his face. "You showed Williams, didn't you?"Gonzalez felt his blood boil. He knew that the Black Panther was behind the setup, and he wanted to make him pay."I know what you did," Gonzalez said, his voice shaking with anger. "You set me up, and you tried to ruin my life."The Black Panther chuckled. "I don't know what you're talking about," he said, his smile widening.

    Gonzalez was taken to a small room where he was met by an FBI agent, Special Agent Johnson. The agent placed a folder on the table and opened it. Gonzalez could see several photographs and a transcript of a conversation that he had had with the Black Panther. The agent slid the photographs across the table, and Gonzalez looked at them. He could see himself meeting with the Black Panther in a dark alley, exchanging an envelope. Gonzalez couldn't believe what he was seeing."This is all fabricated," he said, looking at the agent. "I have never met with the Black Panther or taken any bribes from him."The agent stared back at him, his expression unreadable. "We have evidence that says otherwise," he said. "And if you don't cooperate, we'll have to take drastic measures."Gonzalez knew that he had to clear his name, but he didn't know how. He thought about all the people he had put away, all the criminals who would want revenge. Could one of them have set him up?As Gonzalez sat there, th

    (A few days earlier) Gonzalez and Natasha were in shock when they discovered the glitch in the recording. They couldn't believe someone had tampered with the evidence to frame Gonzalez. They quickly reported it to Agent Smith, who informed them that they had already identified the lawyer's assistant as the culprit."The assistant had been bribed by the Black Panther's associates to tamper with the evidence," Agent Smith said. "But don't worry, we've arrested him, and he's already given us information on who else is involved."Gonzalez and Natasha breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew they weren't out of the woods yet."We still need to prove to the court that the evidence is unreliable," Gonzalez said, worriedly."We will," Agent Smith assured him. "We have a team of forensic experts working on it right now. But in the meantime, you need to stay out of the public eye. We can't afford to have any more complications in this case."Gonzalez and Natasha followed Agent Smith's advice a

    Gonzalez and Natasha arrived home, exhausted but relieved. As they stepped inside their apartment, they were greeted by a masked figure sitting in the living room."Greetings, Gonzalez. Natasha," the figure said, standing up and taking off the mask to reveal a familiar face. It was Agent Smith, a high-ranking member of the FBI who had helped Gonzalez in the past."What are you doing here, Smith?" Gonzalez asked, surprised."I'm here to help you," Smith said. "We've been keeping tabs on the Black Panther for a while now, and we know he has connections to some big-time players in the criminal underworld. We want to take them all down, but we need your help."Gonzalez was hesitant. He didn't like working with the FBI, but he knew that they had resources that could help him take down the Black Panther once and for all."What do you need me to do?" he asked."We need you to act as a mole," Smith said.

Gonzalez rushed to her side and embraced her tightly, tears streaming down his face. "You're safe now," he whispered. "I'll never let anything happen to you again." The Black Panther watched the scene with interest, a smug look on his face. "Don't think that this is over, Gonzalez," he said. "I'll be back, and next time, you won't be so lucky." Gonzalez glared at him, his anger boiling over. He wanted nothing more than to punch the Black Panther in the face, but he knew that he had to keep his cool. "We'll be ready for you," he said. "And we won't hesitate to take you down." The Black Panther laughed a cold and sinister sound. "We'll see about that," he said before disappearing into the night.
