"This cannot be happening. Today of all days." I looked out of the window at the rain hammering down against the ground. It wasn't unusual, in fact it was usual for Forks, this shitty-ass weather, but we'd had an unprecedented ten dry days in a row - dammit, we'd even had sunshine - so a return to the norm on the day of the town parade when I had been persuaded by Jessica to wear a bikini, was definitely not welcome.
A knock at the door forced me to move away from the window and down the stairs to answer it. I wasn't expecting anybody so had no idea who it would be...
Ok, as this is a quick fic, all you need to do is comment to say you're taking a turn and then write your contribution for the next section of the story in a seperate comment. One at a time please, if someone beat you too it, wait for the next turn :o)
Happy to write the next bit, if someone else isn't chomping at the bit ;-)
ReplyDeleteI could hear the rain hammering on the porch roof as I reached the last step. It was clear that whoever was on the other side of the door was going to be pretty much drenched.
ReplyDelete"This had better be important," I thought as I fumbled with the locks. Charlie was forever instilling in me the need to keep myself secure while he was at work, though God only knew why. Forks was hardly a risky place to live; quite the opposite, in fact. I cursed with frustration as I caught one of my nails on the key fob. "Damn!" Yet another freakin' casualty of Charlie's over-protective ways.
Releasing the dead-bolt, I pushed down the door handle and pulled inward, gasping at the surge of damp air that rushed inside...
Imma take another turn...
ReplyDelete“Ben! What in hell’s name are you doing here?” I stepped back from the threshold in puzzlement. Ben had never visited before. If truth be told, I was somewhat surprised that he even knew where I lived.
ReplyDelete“Um…” He hovered—soaking—on the top step, shivering. He was soaked through.
“God, Ben, come inside. You’re soaking…” I ushered him inside. “Let me get you a towel.”
Damn, I've just re-read and realise I've used the word 'soaked' about a million times in that last post :-(
ReplyDeleteI'm just happy that you added something, lol.
ReplyDeleteIKR? We need to get this blog pimped out ;-)
