You Took It All Away- Teaser: Chapter 18

So it's been a while since I've last updated, I know. School has taken over my life and writer's block is something that has been going on for a while now, especially for this story. However, I am finally starting to see the light somewhere in the darkness of my mind. Anyway, before I go on rambling about the irrelevance of my bad case of writer's block, I am going to finally post a teaser for chapter 18. I'm sorry for such a slow update.

“I’m going to introduce you to people here,” he informed me. “Smile, say hi, and stay quiet.”

I nodded, although I couldn’t possibly think of what else I could say to them anyway. I mean, I didn’t know anyone here and none of these people looked welcoming…at all.  It all seemed strange, the way they carried themselves; their cold smiles, non-existent contacts, it was as if they were untouchable.

He started walking towards a middle-aged couple with what I thought was a nervous look. His eyes were cool as ice but I could see his cheek muscles moving in and out. He looked determined but his face looked more anxious than ever.

As we were nearing closer, the couple turned towards our direction and immediately I recognized the man to his father. I shot him a confused look but he didn’t glance back at me. “Why are we walking towards your father? Doesn’t he know me already?” I asked. And who was that woman standing next to him? "Why are we meeting your father again?" I asked again looking consciously at myself.  

“Smile, say hi, and be quiet,” he repeated again.

I will update, I promise. but if I don't in the next couple of days, I'll be sure to post another teaser as compensation ;)
Have a good weekend everyone!
