Peach felt an all-consuming anger within her very being as her driver took her back to Beck’s apartment, unable to shake the sick feeling twisting in her gut ever since she learned that Joe Goldberg had made bail. Her lawyers had been next to useless in this endeavor even with her father’s threats,

Guinevere Beck never expected that she would ever find herself in a situation like this. Now she was sitting across from her ex-boyfriend’s ex, having just been told the worst news she could have ever imagined hearing. Candace sat next to Beck on her couch, patiently waiting for any kind of response

No matter how much he may have feared this outcome, Joseph Gabriel Goldberg never believed that he would ever truly find himself being arrested. “Turn,” The booking officer said from behind the camera.

The Next Day Rory had found it impossible to sleep last night, tossing and turning as everything her parents told her last night refused to leave her mind despite her best efforts. She did not end up going to the housewarming after her parents left, ignoring the calls and texts she had gotten from M

Two Days Later Rory wanted nothing more than to stay in bed and pretend that the world, and everyone in it, would forget that she existed. Unfortunately, the world had never been particularly good at granting her wishes. Her phone buzzed on the nightstand for the fourth time in ten minutes, and Rory

Three Days Later Max was staring at Rory skeptically and had been doing so since he entered her penthouse, waiting for her to give him some kind of insight into what she was feeling. “Are you just going to sit there, staring at me like a fucking weirdo?” Rory sighed, glancing between her friend and

Four Days Later Nothing makes sense anymore. How could you do this to me, Beck? Joe thought as he lay face down in bed. He had not left his apartment since his and Beck’s breakup, choosing to wallow in his heartbreak and sorrow. Love doesn’t exist, how can it when the woman of my dreams chooses to l

Two Days Later Rory had finally grown the courage to come back to Peach’s townhouse but could not bring herself to ring the doorbell. So here she stood for the last ten minutes, trying and failing to lift her arm and press it, afraid of what Peach would say to her once she answered the door. That’s

A Week Later Rory tried to give Peach her space, she truly did, but after seven days of radio silence, Rory’s patience had reached its breaking point. Now she was standing on the stairs of Peach’s townhouse, ringing the doorbell, and waiting for the other woman. No one came to the door, but Rory not

“Not that I’m not happy to see you, but what are you doing here?” Peach asked as she walked into her office and saw Rory sitting in her desk chair. “I’m hiding from Max.” Rory said as pushed her feet against the floor, causing the chair to spin. “Why?” Peach asked as she made Rory stand up before si

A Month Later “You know what I think?” Max asked as the two sat in his living room, the two having a Lord of the Rings marathon. “I don’t care.” Rory murmured; her eyes focused on the screen, watching Boromir's death. Max ignored her comment, “I think that we should find you a date.” I knew this was

Peach moaned as the sunlight from the window finally reached the bed, hitting her in the face and pulling her from slumber. She moaned even louder when she realized just how much her skull was pounding, the sensation growing worse when she foolishly decided to open her eyes, squeezing them shut almo

A Week Later Rory sighed as she stepped out of her car, looking at her best friend as he stood in his front yard, smiling when he saw her. “Max, what the fuck?” Rory said, looking away from the man and to the large crate of fireworks next to him. “How did you even get this much?” “I know a guy.” Max

Sorry about posting a pervious chapter for those who saw it, I did not notice until it was pointed out to me😳 “So, wait what happened with Annika?” Rory asked, looking up from her computer, staring at her best friend who was lying face down on her office couch. Reluctantly, Max lifted his head and

“Are you still angry with us?” Rory hated how sad and upset her mother sounded as she spoke. After Joe had told her about her parents confronting him at the bookstore, Rory had her own confrontation with them the next day. She hated fighting with her parents, but she hated them trying to destroy her

A Week Later Peach Salinger sat in her office, going over the designs for her newest client on her desktop when she received a text message. Peach picked up her phone and smiled as she saw that it was Rory who had texted her. -Did u start SoulSilver yet? Peach rolled her eyes, but her smile did not

Rory squeezed her eye lids, trying to hold onto the last vestiges of sleep, but gave up after a few minutes, feeling her body refuse to listen to her. Rory had intended to lean over and look at her alarm clock to see what time it was but found herself unable to as she finally noticed the weight on h

Three Weeks Later “Do I really have to be blindfolded for this?” Rory asked. The woman had come to Hayden International at Peach's behest, being told that the renovations to her office were complete. “Yes, you do. I don’t trust you to not peak and your reaction needs to be genuine.” Peach answered a

Max smiled as he read the latest text he had gotten from Annika. He was not expecting it, but he found Annika to be very funny. Despite already hooking up with each other at this point, Max still found himself interested in Annika. He even surprised himself by how often he awaited the next call, tex

It's been three days since I've seen you, I failed you, Beck. And this is my punishment. Is this my walk to the gallows? Should I be preparing any last words? Some humans, Beck, are a cancer, and Peach is stage four metastatic, I tried to cut out the mass before it could consume you, but now? Best c

A Week Later “I fucking hate you.” Rory said the second she stepped into her office and saw Peach Salinger walking around with a look of distaste as her eyes traveled around the room. “I think the words you’re looking for are ‘Wow. Thanks Max, without you there’s no way I would have grown the balls

Peach Salinger rolled her eyes as she strutted into the Analogue Bar in Greenwich Village. The reason for her ire, Joseph Goldberg, was sitting next to Beck, facing away from her. Beck had texted Peach, Annika, and Lynn, asking them to join her in meeting Joe’s never before been mentioned sister so

Rory Maddox Hayden, in her twenty-four years on this earth, had known what it felt like to be afraid, but she never felt as nervous or scared as she did in this moment, standing in front of Mooney's Bookstore. After gathering her courage, Rory entered the store, walking through the quaint isle and m
