MORE
THAN FOREVER, #4
There is a love so fierce it cannot be measured.
A heart so strong it will never slow.
There is a promise so sure it can never lie.
He promised me that love forever.
Even when it wasn't enough.
-CAMERON-
Forever. Everlasting. Eternal.
There is no measure of time.
No sounds of the ticking of a clock.
Just the rising and falling of the sun.
And our own sense of forever.
But our forever isn't always.

Mom says that
there’s absolutely no pain worse than labor. For sixteen hours, so she says,
she went through absolute hell. She jokes that sometimes she wonders if it was
worth it. I call bullshit. I say that nothing, absolutely nothing, can feel
worse than being hit in the junk with a baseball bat. Lincoln’s eyes are huge
as he grimaces. “I’m so sorry, Cam.”
I’m folded over
myself, too preoccupied with the ache below my stomach. Sometimes, there’s a
delay with the pain. But not this time. This time it was instant. I try to
speak, but nothing comes out. He looks like he wants to cry and I want to
assure him that it’s all good—but I can’t. Liam, Lincoln’s twin brother, is
laughing. The little punk. I’ll be sure to make him do extra shit next
practice. “Cam, are you okay?”
I try to
straighten, but it just makes the pain worse. “Yeah, bud. I just gotta let it
settle.”
“I swear I didn’t
see you behind me.” There’s panic clear in his voice and for a second I want to
tell myself to suck it up and quit being a little bitch, but I can’t do that
either. The pain’s too overwhelming. Liam’s still laughing his ass off. My eyes
narrow at him and Lincoln must notice, because he turns to his brother and
pushes him hard enough that he falls to the ground. That makes Liam stop. He
gets up and dusts the dirt of his uniform. “We should go, Linc, we’re the last
ones here.”
Lincoln looks
around. So do I. Liam’s right, everyone’s gone.
“I’m just gonna
help Cam pack up,” Lincoln replies, picking up the team equipment bag and
chucking in the helmets and bats sitting by my feet. He looks up at me again,
and I can see how sorry he really is.
Standing to full
height, I do my best to ignore the pain. “It’s okay, Linc. Seriously, it’s
passed now.” It hasn’t, but he doesn’t need to know that. He finishes packing
anyway and hands me the bag, it’s bigger than he is.
I take it from
his hands and look around again. “Your mom or dad late to pick you up?”
“Nah,” Liam says,
the laughter and amusement now gone. “Lucy’s here.”
“Lucy?”
“Our sister,”
Lincoln explains.
They both turn to
the bleachers and so do I. A lone girl sits at the bottom bench. Something
flat, black and rectangular in her hand, kinda like a tablet, I guess. Her
foot’s rocking a stroller back and forth. It strikes me as strange, because the
girl looks familiar. She’s in my class, I think. She’s a freshman and she has a
baby? Stuff like that doesn’t happen in our town and if it did, I’d know.
Everyone would know.
“Lucy!” Liam
shouts.
She doesn’t look
up.
“Lucy!” Lincoln
this time.
She still doesn’t
look up, but her foot continues to rock the stroller.
“Luce!” Liam
yells again.
Nothing.
My eyes narrow
before looking down at the boys. “Is your sister…uh…hearing impaired?”
They both let out
simultaneous snorts. “No,” Lincoln answers, pulling his cap further down his
head and looking up at me. His eyes roll as he says, “She’s just reading.”
*Mikayla*
In one night my fairytale ended. Or it may have begun.
This is my story of friendship and love, heartbreak and desire, and the
strength to show weakness.
*Jake*
One night I met a girl. A sad and broken girl, but one
more beautiful than any other. She laughed through her sadness, while I loved
through her heartbreak.
*This is our story of a maybe ever after.*
He was right. It made no difference whether it was 6
months or 6 years.
I couldn’t undo what had been done. I couldn’t change
the future.
I couldn’t even predict it.
It was one night.
One night when everything changed.
It was so much more than just the betrayal.
It was the Tragedy.
The Deaths.
The Murders.
But it was also that feeling.
The feeling of falling.

More
Than Her, #2
For every
action there is an equal or opposite reaction." For every choice you make
there are rewards, or there are consequences. It was my choice to walk away the
first time. And my choice to chase her the second. But sometimes you don't get
a choice, and all you get are the consequences.” "Being deeply loved by
someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
Unless that someone is Logan Matthews. Because loving him didn't give me the
strength to walk away. It didn't give me the courage to fight for him. And when
it was over, all it gave me was a broken heart.

More Than Him, #3
"Our
deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are
powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens
us." - Marianne Williamson
We live in a world of darkness and
shadows,
where monsters hide and aim to ruin.
And they did.
They ruined us and
turned our dreams into nightmares.
But now we're back.
And we're fighting.
Not
just for us, or for each other, but for our light.
