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.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPCSEmIXmZ
Really though how was I supposed to know that the hot detective staying in one of our guest rooms was top secret.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoi0URTFdn
Long story short we lost 2 (irrelevant) allies because of the slip up.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CLrLTgDRS
We finally made it back to the black Chevrolet and I took of my heels as soon as I got in the back.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdbxDfFT95
"Why do I have to where heels all the time , I'm already tall Josephine," I leaned over 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fEoAyXD0Y
"So secret service can catch you if you try to run off," Grace muttered as she put in smaller earrings .837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6spMyXNAE
"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.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdkmrH0MYi
"Don't talk to your big sister like that and put your seatbelt on Vivienne ," my father chimed in.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfgcsGRLbx
I wasn't talking to you either , I wanted to say.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2BPUyKtSY
I sat back down and platted Verity's hair through the headrest.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbAgXpTdkW
The car was quiet again except for the quit hum of the air conditioner. 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYye7DL19SV
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.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3ktTV6k8X
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.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9bF0r6BFX
" Do you have scissors, there's a necklace stuck in my hair,"837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4CWqBvfp4
"Pull it out," She said without even looking my way.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXHV3SFG0J
"My hair doesn't work like,"837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzBdEQP98I
"Then that's your business, leave me alone,"837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xTKEi4L0S
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.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEihBdviRyq
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. 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiflSTabDgL
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. 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CMmf2Wy8b
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.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTyBrrqLDT
"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.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUaBL2vJ4n
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.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWre0CsyVX

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. 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2BbxxoB6L
"Stevie, I don't understand what you're trying to say," Phia finally says. 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWJ86pDt8j
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.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYm01wS8eW
"Phia, i'm screwed. Phia i'm pregnant," Stevie almost whispers.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrKu2gs7hB
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.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4VsIOnVnW
"Who?"837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKQhzyB1DO
Phia seems to have lost her ability to speak. After all Stevie is the talker.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08Fd0hHzkc
"You're making me sound like a slut Phia. You already know it's Jules',"837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3UVglRSV5
"But it can't be,”837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvwPVzjK8e
Stevie now bothered the fact that phia thought it could be someone else's replies, "Why can't it be?"837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKnbmvHep9
"Don't get defensive it's just that so is Lyn,"837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNePJIXOga
"Jules'?"837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRMQd97Rcm
Phia nods.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLg8Gi1OQs
"What's mine," 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklMrZVM5Vg
Jules has arrived with Reece and where Jules goes, Lyn follows so she isn't far behind them."837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoklwS8iD5u
"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.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfY1mA6Iqo
Phia looks between the three and prepares herself for the newest chapter of their friendship. 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LlTV3wYWL
"Finally decided to stop cursing and act like a lady,huh? Reece chimes in and grazes his hair through his dark hair.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlZaiZc85C
"Why don't you go suck someone off at-" Stevie started.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A2dxOhOfx
"There's a Lyn here, language" Jules says.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqjiWCxJfG
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. 837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FbBAgqp64
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.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9140y3pgv
"We have school," She announces and leaves without waiting for a reply.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnR8kmomI0
"What's her problem?" Jules questions.837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8narh7xCs
"You fucked up Jules," Phia says finally as she gets up and leaves the two alone837Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1EuluRpKy
