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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3VDLyUND2
Really though how was I supposed to know that the hot detective staying in one of our guest rooms was top secret.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVrm4F0GpK
Long story short we lost 2 (irrelevant) allies because of the slip up.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHJPdr3AaO
We finally made it back to the black Chevrolet and I took of my heels as soon as I got in the back.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcUM6Pr7R0
"Why do I have to where heels all the time , I'm already tall Josephine," I leaned over 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5fIhttzjp
"So secret service can catch you if you try to run off," Grace muttered as she put in smaller earrings .815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRJcelPpEM
"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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIN0sKRH9R
"Don't talk to your big sister like that and put your seatbelt on Vivienne ," my father chimed in.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb83bYLaM4
I wasn't talking to you either , I wanted to say.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH75ko6K0P
I sat back down and platted Verity's hair through the headrest.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5AiKvS6Bu
The car was quiet again except for the quit hum of the air conditioner. 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolecvEYUF6
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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKEh7AXCaT
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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLaQdixVSn
" Do you have scissors, there's a necklace stuck in my hair,"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbnDNk59Kp
"Pull it out," She said without even looking my way.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcRViOLOLa
"My hair doesn't work like,"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFFO8EAE9H
"Then that's your business, leave me alone,"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6K2bHYIur
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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s77a60QyI
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. 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMa3NdBem4
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. 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3owOh5KQy
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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkv7YtfyTe
"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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7USoCYfiiL
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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RPbYeFoga

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. 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGToLJwNu2D
"Stevie, I don't understand what you're trying to say," Phia finally says. 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojjeMpVsos
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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAHKjHLoKq
"Phia, i'm screwed. Phia i'm pregnant," Stevie almost whispers.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6rD84ettd
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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMjlYpk8rY
"Who?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Nu9ukGS5D
Phia seems to have lost her ability to speak. After all Stevie is the talker.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmSk8JEaoa
"You're making me sound like a slut Phia. You already know it's Jules',"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPaWpu13Kw
"But it can't be,”815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ251VbzCFSL
Stevie now bothered the fact that phia thought it could be someone else's replies, "Why can't it be?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj0pC7HevB
"Don't get defensive it's just that so is Lyn,"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlWoZTrAI8
"Jules'?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM96Bw1nKy
Phia nods.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tj78LR5Nh
"What's mine," 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8gwHKvSqQ
Jules has arrived with Reece and where Jules goes, Lyn follows so she isn't far behind them."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6djWb1LZa
"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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mGe63pQrp
Phia looks between the three and prepares herself for the newest chapter of their friendship. 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP5tgspcUH
"Finally decided to stop cursing and act like a lady,huh? Reece chimes in and grazes his hair through his dark hair.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfWSJYRvbG
"Why don't you go suck someone off at-" Stevie started.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0uRhffihC
"There's a Lyn here, language" Jules says.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6W9rFnuBy
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. 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzCXeJpPdl
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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWplSeSiAg
"We have school," She announces and leaves without waiting for a reply.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbPgrXqOIA
"What's her problem?" Jules questions.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg9UaGeI9a
"You fucked up Jules," Phia says finally as she gets up and leaves the two alone815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrwuSCI1KS
