Chapter 10 (Downward Spiral) Teaser

Hello all 6 of you blog readers and followers! How are you this Thursday afternoon? I'm doing well. Been busy with work and life and have recently gotten lost in reading the story Emancipation Proclamation. I know, I'm like one of the last people to just start reading this. I've been holding out. I needed to get into sad mode to write the next chapter of ALBtY, so I finally gave in. Now, I'm completely hooked, and it is definitely sad. Gah! It seriously grabs ahold of you and tears you up inside. It's really, really good, though. So, if you aren't reading it, you definitely should.

So, I've finished Chapter 10 and sent it off to the beta. It should post soon. The teaser for it is below. I've also gotten most of Chapter 11 done and part of Chapter 12. Go me! I know, it's a shocker, right? LOL! Hopefully I can get them up and posted much faster than the past couple have been. We shall see.

Anyhoo, that's about it for me. I hope you all are doing well. I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to let me know what you think about the story, what you think is going to happen or want to happen, if you're reading anything great that you want to recommend, or if you just want to say hey! Any form of feedback makes me smile. :)

Here's the teaser. (Keep in mind that it hasn't been beta'd yet and could potentially change). Hope it peaks your interest:

“Let me get these guys out of my house and you can come over later. We’ll go out and do something. Sound good?”



“Yeah, do you want to call me?”


“No, just come back over later this evening. We’ll grab dinner and go to a movie or something.”


“Alright. Is six o’clock good?” I asked.


“Yeah, baby. Whenever.”


He walked me back out to my car and placed a soft, slow kiss on my lips before closing me inside. I drove back to my house and killed time by catching up on some laundry and picking up my room. It was around four when I was about to start getting ready and my dad came home. It was a good hour earlier than he usually got in, but didn’t think anything of it until he came inside.


“Bella, are you upstairs?” my dad called out when he came in.


“Yeah, I’ll be right down,” I replied back.


As I descended the stairs, I knew something was up. My dad had a strange look on his face. I couldn’t tell if he was angry, upset, or worried. It actually appeared to be a combination of the three.


“Hey, Dad, what’s up?” I asked, smiling up at him.


“We need to sit down,” he said, ushering me to the living room.


“Okay? What’s going on? Is everything alright?”


“I’m not going to beat around the bush about it because, quite frankly, there’s no sugar coating this. Edward was arrested today.”
