ELENAI groaned again as my head throbbed.I had woken up, only for me to see myself wedged between a bookshelf, and an old chair that was used in the library by my mother.I peeked my eyes open, one after the other, and almost cried, when the light from the library ceiling hit my eyes.I shut them back, almost screaming from how painful it felt."Elena!" Jason called, making me open my eyes again, just to see him staring at me with shock from his position, before crouching down next to me, with wide eyes filled with worry."Jason .." I murmured softly and tried to sit up, but was soon sent back to my position as I felt pain in my neck."What the hell happened?" Jason asked, coming closed to me to inspect my body. He placed his hands gently on my shoulders, then lifted one to my face.I blinked, trying the recall everything that happened. "Someone hit me on the head, while I was in this study." I tried to sit up, but Jason held me down. "I saw them break in..." I narrated everything t
ELENAI woke up the next morning, feeling a little bit better. At least, when I opened my eyes, I didn't feel like I was being blinded by the light.I turned, about to leave the bed, when I saw Jason's sleeping form. I decided to stall a little bit as I just watched him.The man was too good looking to be true.Last night, he had told me that he had feeling for me. And I had of course, been flattered that he liked me. But now, as I had awoken this morning, I couldn't help feeling like it was all born out of the incident that had happened the previous night. I mean, emotions had been flying about. He had specifically said that he had felt fear when he had thought that I was going to die. I didn't blame him. We had the oddest of relationships, where love was not in the picture, but there was a picture if friendship lurking around in the corners. And sex too. A lot of sex.So, it was normal for him to say he liked me.Now, I didn't know if I was trying to convince myself that Jason did
ELENAI was shaking when I saw the gun. Jason seemed shocked too, but was handling the whole scenero better than I was as he carefully picked it up and placed it on the counter.When he had asked if I had ordered for anything to be delivered to the house, my heart had suddenly skipped, because, the last time, it had been a prank. And I had heard a lot of scarey stories about things like that, abd Joe they ended badly almost all the time.But sending a gun, was going way too far, even for a prankster.First, someone had done to rob my parents, and barely twenty four hours later, we had seen a gun in front of the house."Maybe you should call the police." I suggested, looking at Jason, who was just staring hard at the gun. A thunderous expression on his handsome face."I really don't understand. Like, u don't know what to make of this. This is like the most unusual shit I have ever encountered in my entire life." He said, frowning.We heard the door, open and close, at the same, causing
JASONThere was nothing on the cctvs. Nothing that could help me, apart from the footage of the men in the ski masks that had known exactly what they were doing. Now though, as I still sat in the study with my phone in my hands, I wondered my next move. I had already called the private investigator, and things were already underway, but what was left is deciding whether to still stay in the damn house or just go somewhere else. This was supposed to be a safe place for heaven sake!"I don't think you should move out of your house just because some men came here to drop off a gun." Tyler was saying, after I had asked for his opinion on the next step he thought I should take.I turned to him with a frown plastered on my face. "You don't understand. I mean, I think I can survive on my own, but I'm worried about..." I let my voice trail off as my mind was filled with different scenerios that involved Elena. And they were far from nice.Almost causing a painful squeeze in my chest."Elena
ELENAI was still on the phone with Jane when the bedroom door opened, and Jason strode in.I turned to look at him with the phone still in my hands."I heard a door open and close. And I know that's not you." Jane said. I could here the mischievous and suggestive tone in her voice. There was no need to ask how she had possibly known it was not me who opened the door. "I'll talk to you later. Bye sweetie." She chirped."Yeah....take care of yourself." I replied. I had actually been looking forward to hearing all about her encounter with Tyler. But it seemed like that wasn't going to be possible now, especially when Jason was now striding towards me, having heard me end the call with Jane."Hey.." he said. His demeanor, brooding.I sighed. "Hey." I knew the issue of the gun was still on his mind. I mean, there was no way it wasn't going to be like that, given the circumstances."Jane?" He asked, eyeing the phone that lay beside me as he came to stand just at the foot of the bed.I nodd
ELENA“Maybe you should have handled it better.” I chirped. “Anyway, the only advice I can give you right now, is to go talk to her, and clear things up. I mean, sit down and talk to her like an adult, and not all these jealoirants.” I said, looking at him squarely.Tyler eyed me. “What if she doesn’t want to talk to me?” He asked, looking genuinely afraid.I mean, I knew my friend was scary sometimes, but I knew she wasn’t going to do anything to hurt him intentionally. Besides, she already liked him. But I wasn’t going to tell him that.Tyler was about to say something else, but stopped when he looked at something behind me.I could already guess who it was before I even turned.Jason strolled into the room with a tired look on his face. “Well, that was the longest and most unproductive call I have ever made in my entire life.” He bit out and sat down in front of his food which I assumed was now completely cold. “Why? What happened? What did he say?” Tyler asked, looking at his bro
ELENA"Are you sure this dress is okay?" I asked Jane, who just continued to ransack the hangers for more dresses.We had decided to go shop for our dresses a week earlier, just because we had been bored and Jane had been too excited to wait until the last minute.She stopped what she was doing and looked at me with a raised brow. "Of course it's okay. And you are not the one wearing it, so why have you been staring daggers at the dress?" She asked, rolling her eyes and going back to what she was doing.I sighed and eyed the dress in my hands before putting it down.I had a lot to say about the dress, and many reasons why she should not wear it to the ball.For one, it was very red. Secondly, it left little to the imagination, since it was see through. And finally, I knew my friend liked to dress provocatively on various occasions, but this was just too much.Besides, despite being a ball, it was still an office party."I'm not letting you wear this dress, Miss. It's just over the top
JASONI looked through the side mirror of my car, waiting patiently for Tyler to come out of the airport with our mother. For the umpteenth time, I had opented to drive, insisting on going to the airport to pick both of them. Since he was still in London, he had decided to come together with her. I couldn't help some of the memories that washed over me as I thought about the ball which was the next day. I had been so busy with all that had been happening, that I had actually not really thought about my father.As annoyed and angry as I was at him, I still loved him to pieces. And although I wasn't going to admit it anytime soon to anyone, I missed him. Terribly.The times we had spent together actually meant a whole lot to me.I peeped my brother and my mother stepping out, and got down from the car, just as Tyler was looking around for me. I didn't wait for them to spot me, before I was waving frantically at the pair."Over here." I called out to him, and watched as both he and my m
