A JakexMC Romance - Duskwood Fanfiction
Manon Corvin is many things; a survivor, a fighter and a problem to anyone who stands in her way. She will not give up until she has everything she asked for.
She moves to Duskwood to save Hannah, her friends...
Tuesday. Manon and Jake give up trying to learn from their evidence and head into town. Some tooth rotting fluff in the middle and then I'll be quiet and let you read so I don't spoil everything 😉
A/N: I can't stop writing. It just keeps coming and I'm so excited to share the fun things I've had written for almost two years! Those will start to come out over the next few chapters. This one is an indulgent escape.
When I have a hard time in real life, I escape into writing. I don't usually update this often but fibro, anxiety and life in general is kicking my ass. So, I focus on Manon and Jake instead. I hope you enjoy ❤️

"I've been up in the air Out of my head Stuck in a moment of emotion I destroyed Is this the end I feel? Up in the air Fucked up on life All of the laws I've broken Love's that I've sacrificed Is this the end?
I'll wrap my hands around your neck So tight with love
I've been up in the air Lost in the night I wouldn't trade an eye for your lies Your lust for my life Is this the end?
A thousand times I tempted fate A thousand times I played this game A thousand times that I have said Today, today, today
Take no more I'll take no more"

Manon
The glow of her laptop screen burned into her retinas, dry eyes stinging as she read the same page over and over again. Nothing had changed since the last six times she'd read it, but it still offered no explanation. She'd been at it for hours. Scouring through their files of evidence, listening to the recording of Richy's kidnap repeatedly until she could recite it like a poem. One line stuck out to her now she'd met with his father.
"Don't hurt him, he didn't know, take me instead, take me please!"
Richy had begged that fateful day. It hadn't registered at the time, but it rang like a death knell now. She heard it like an earworm song lyric she couldn't shake as she skimmed everything for any other clues pointing to Paul. One thing Richy had mentioned was that his dad had told him Hannah didn't have Sat Nav. That had been a lie. Thanks to Jessy, they knew this for sure. But why would he lie about something so innocuous? Why did Michael Hanson let him go free, knowing Paul would go straight to the police? What was Paul hiding?
