Devil's Son |✓ (Book one Of the Van Dyk series)

98|Connection

Four years later

My world feels like it's spinning, I'm exhausted from all the work I've been doing, do I even sleep anymore? My world stopped the day my Harley left me.

I feel like i'm just a burden to everyone because my presence is depressing.

I do want to be happy but how can I be happy with no one here? I'm stuck paying bills on my own. My apartment is this shitty thing.

It's been four years since I last saw him.

I'm still in my uniform from my previous job, which is the diner's yellow dress with a white apron, I'm currently on my laundromat shift.

I'm resting on the center aisle of washing machines.

Trying not to fall asleep but energy drinks are partly helping me. My sanity aches still though. I haven't seen any of the Van Dyk's since Harley left.

I miss Amara so greatly but I wish we contacted each other but we misplaced connection.

I kinda miss all of them if I'm honest. And if i'm truthful again I believed Harley and I were gonna end as one.

I thought it was gonna be just him and I in this world.

But I have walked on from those few sweet nights I remembered with Harley. Yes, I admired every minute, yes he made me feel incredible even though he didn't know I was a virgin so he took off a little rough.

But I enjoyed every second.

Surprised he was a virgin as well.

Any solitary moment I had with him. I miss all of them, so extensively.

I wish I could see any of them again.

I see everyone else but any of the Van Dyk's it's like they left this earth, all I know is that Harley is still in prison.

Well, at least I think he is.

Unlike most twenty-one-year-olds, Partying, drinking, having sex every minute, causing drama, being part of the drama, sleeping around with countless guys...

Well I don't really wanna have a slut era but it would be fun but, I kinda can't...

I wanted to go to college, I wanted to become successful and show all those stupid ass bullies that I was better than them.

But, I couldn't afford college, I can't afford anything but food and a roof over my head even with the help of my roommate.

We are both strugglers.

The only happiness I have in this world is one person... One person.

That person is enough for me to keep living, but I don't wanna spend my life working my whole life.

I didn't wanna grow old and I'm still working. I work two jobs but I need to get another one.

We can't afford college which means we can't afford a good enough paying job which also means we aren't smart enough to get a good-paying job.

Do I wish life was different?

Fuck yes I do. I do, but I still love the people I have around me.

I barely get to see my siblings, I mean I see Skyler and dad often but she miscarried the baby she was pregnant with.

All my dad wanted was more children. He's still young and could try again but Skyler hasn't been successful with carrying a baby. I really wish I could help.

I still see Robbie around looking lonely, I mean Callum got killed and Harley is gone so.

He's alone well besides Sophia, he's with her and it's so confusing.

After Harley left the Van Dyk's left almost instantly. It was the worst time of my life, Amara left, Jacob left, and everyone left.

I see Axel though, he comes into the diner every morning for breakfast before he goes to work.

I still think about Harley a lot even though it's wrong now.

It is so wrong.

If I could just see him one more time I would gladly savor every second of it. I miss him so fucking much.

I do wonder what he looks like now.

Does he look too much different? He probably looks like himself but older, maybe he has a stubble, he was growing one before he got taken from me.

He probably has a deeper sexier voice, god I'd do anything to hear it again.

I do have another sexy voice in mind, he's always there too actually I hear it every day because he is my roommate.

That one happiness in my life at this moment the happiness I get to constantly see is...

"Bella."
