Starting over was exactly what she knew she needed. There was nothing left in Mississippi for her anymore. The only family she had was gone and even her one friend that had been the closest to her had recently moved away. The other Dennison family members certainly had no time for her now that Anna and Ray were gone. They’d only tolerated her for her parent’s sake.

Continue readingI have only asked one thing of the fans over the years since Zac has been gone. That they love him for the reasons he wanted to be loved… for the joy their talent brought to people all over the world, to remember what they enjoyed most about him: his kindness, his ability to make people laugh and his music… oh that music.
Continue readingI heard all of the things said about me during the time I was with Zac. I heard what a lucky girl I was to have him. How I should be thankful because you would be. I heard how you all would give anything trade places with me even just for a day. I kept getting asked “Would you tell us what it’s really like being with Zac Hanson?” Hmmm, not really the answer you were expecting is it?
Continue readingIt was a happy family again, we weren’t pretending. No one thought about what had happened or what could possibly. We just soaked up the jubilation we were all feeling at that moment. It was a lot, almost too much. I felt Zac’s arms slide around my waist. I leaned back onto him as he hugged me gently. If only it could have stayed that wonderful. If only Joshua would bring and keep peace and happiness among us like we’d all expected him to do. If only we could have had some sign at what a disaster was right upon all of us. One that no family could every prepare for. The ties that had held us together were about to come unraveled.
Continue readingI looked back outside, waiting to see a passionate kiss between the two. What I saw though confused me more than I already was. Zac pulled something out of his pocket and gave it to Karen. I couldn’t believe it. Isaac and I exchanged confused glances. Money? Zac was giving her money? A lot of it too.
Continue readingI still couldn’t understand why he’d been so upset about what I’d worn. Maybe he thought the shirt was too tight? Maybe too low cut? Maybe he thought the skirt was too short? I finally drifted off with the hope that things would not return to the way they had been and a mental note not to wear that shirt or skirt again.
Continue reading“Oh Jess, I…” he was cut off though by Isaac jerking him away from us and pulling him onto the couch saying “Sit down Zac and don’t you ever think about touching them again. Got it?!” Zac looked confused “Ike what are you talking about?” Just then Walker came back into the room and puts a cup of coffee down in front of Zac.
“He’s talking about your display last night and the fact that it’s over. Do you hear me? It’s over Zac, done, finished. We’ve had it and we are going to make sure that you never hurt anyone in this family, including Melissa, ever again in any way.”
“Do you remember what I told you about staying out too late? Do you remember agreeing that you wouldn’t?” Tears fell from my eyes and I nodded. “You, being the defiant person you are, were out until 3 a.m. Do you think that’s late? DO YOU?!” His grip suddenly tightened when I hadn’t answered him right away. I nodded quickly as fear and uncertainty took over. He began to breathe deeply. “Do you know that I can kill you right now?” He gave an evil smile and I realized that was his hook in this particular situation. Zac would never kill… but oh how he loved mind games! I started crying harder but knew better than to scream or… or look away from him. That was another part of the mind games I think. Not being able to look away forced me to see the rage in his eyes and the satisfaction he got from it all.
Continue readingBeing with Zac was like being on a never ending roller coaster… you know what the ride is going to do because you’ve already been over it, but you don’t get off. You know about the dark tunnel, the steep hill and the fall down the other side. You know about the sharp turn just after the corkscrew. No matter what, when you see each part ahead of you, you know what will happen next. It becomes predictable. Yet, you also get tired of the same ride and have to get off at some point, the ride has to be stopped… whatever it takes.
