Sixteen years later, Quinn is a Junior in high school. She is going day to day learning each day that she has tasks to face. She learns that people will lie or use you to gain power. Manipulation is a big thing that she is influenced by, she also has a hard time asking for help with anything because she feels as if people will make fun of her, or people will make her think they are dumb questions to ask.
Her older brother Nico is running his own business, has a fiancé and he is also expecting his first child. He tries to keep in contact with his family as much as he can, but his time becomes short as meetings upon meetings pile on top of each other. At one point he doesn't contact them at all, which leaves Quinn to worry if he is okay or not.
Beth has news to tell Jonah, but he has been distant lately. She feels as if they grew apart. He is hardly home, when he is, it is after three in the morning, and he is usually drunk. She doesn't think to much of it because she finally graduated and started working in the pediatrics unit as a nurse at the local hospital. She can't hold the secret in any longer as her bump will start to grow. Will he listen to what she has to say?
Will Quinn figure her problems and find a way to talk to Nico?
Will Nico talk to his family soon? Will he introduce Monica to them? Will he make the effort to even see them?
"Shut the hell, your mouth!" Daniel's hands squeeze my waist as he pushes me against the wall, growing closer to me. The quietness striking me when the only thing I can see in the dark is my horrified reflection in his glowing blue eyes.
I can hear my breathing as I place my shaking arms beside me not knowing what to do with them. I can hear my heartbeat going at such a fast rate, I wouldn't even be able to count the beats. My chest rising and falling against Daniel's chest.
"Dan-
"Don't fucking speak," he growls in my ear, "just don't."
