Tomorrow: Chapter Eleven
Adam gets curious... Philena gets hopeful... Reality slaps them both in the face."Does that make more sense now?"I look down at my paper- Calculus homework that only an hour ago would have completely stumped me and had me giving up. It does make more sense. I could finish this in 15 minutes now. Easy.I nod and smile, eyes wide in surp...

Tomorrow: Chapter Eight
Chapter Eight of Tomorrow... finally...I lay on my bed, still in my back-from-the-hospital garb. Doc Davies' instructions were "no strenuous or overly stressful activity for a few weeks, okay Missy?" I just kind of nodded and kept my snarky (and honestly rather bitchy considering how kind he's...
Tomorrow: Chapter Seven
The seventh chapter of Philena's story...Ah, what is that bright light? …Where am I? My eyes open to white walls and Mother staring down at me. Her eyes are cold, like always, but as my eyes flutter open she puts on a forced cheerful smile—showing me there’s someone else in the room and that I...
Tomorrow: Chapter Six
The sixth chapter of Philena's story...“Thank you.” It’s a whisper and from right behind me. I turn to find Evangeline walking away from the kid whose locker is to my left. Adam… And he was talking to Ange? Why? “Philena—” I shut my locker and turn to him. My eyes, though dull in color, burn w...
Tomorrow: Chapter 5.5
This bit fits into the story as a whole but doesn't really fit with chapter five or chapter six, soI don’t head home; I just head to another park. This one’s even farther from where Evangeline lives, so there’s no way she’ll follow me here and, even if this park is closer to home, there’s no way my “parents” will find me… it’s the weekend, they never l...
Tomorrow: Chapter Five
The fifth chapter of Philena's story...Ange kisses up my neck, nibbling a little as she does so, and I know she feels me squirm. “Why what, Phi-Phi?” “Please don’t call me that. Just call me Philena.” We walk over to the table I was at and sit down next to each other. I set down the painting I...

The second chapter of Philena's story... hope you enjoy. I shall submit two chapters a week...Lying in bed tonight, I pull my sketchbook out from under the bed and open it to a blank page. I have to be real sure that He’s not going to come anywhere near here that way He won’t know I’m drawing—or He’ll both take everything away and garbage my work...
Tomorrow: Chapter One
The first chapter of Philena's story... hope you enjoy. I shall submit two chapters a week...I enter the doors to my high school, a senior. First day back to school and apparently I'm supposed to be shrieking and crying like an idiot, going, "Oh my God I haven't seen you since... two days ago!" to all my friends... wait, what friends?
