2021-08-04 16:42:58Daniel: Asleep already?
Elena woke up to a splitting headache and an unread message from Daniel. She rolled on her bed, grabbing her phone, as she swiped it unlock.
Elena: Hey, Good morning.
Damn, a hundred soldiers marching in her head.
She tossed her phone after checking the time. 7:02am. She rolled in bed, again.
"Elena, get up," her roommate tap her. "You'll be late for prayers."
"If the sisters notice I'm not at prayers, tell them I have a terrible headache so I can't get out of bed."
"Okay," she replied, getting up from Elena's bed. "You've used meds?"
"Nah, I'm good."
Elena watched all her roommates leave the room one after the other, finally shutting the door. Her phone beeped again, as she sluggishly took it.
Daniel: Good morning. How are you? How was yesterday'

“Good luck.”Elena broke free from Luke’s hug, smiling at him.“Are you nervous?” he asked her.“Nope,” Elena replied. “I’m a smartass, you know?”“Yeah. Donald Trump is the president of India too.”“I hate you,” Elena laughed, kicking him. “Just wait and see.”“Ah, yes. I will,” he replied, smirking. “Your eyebrows are at risk.”“Luke, get out,” Elena scowled. “I’m off to school to meet people who BELIEVE in me.

“Elena, Sister Gemma asked me to call you.”“Okay,” Elena replied, putting on her regular flip flops.“She’s along the corridor.”Elena nodded in reply, opening the door to leave. She had gotten in yesterday careful not to collide with any of the sisters. Her roommates were still up when she got in. They had all noticed the smile on her face and asked what happened. Even though she said nothing, she went to bed, her hands clutching her necklace, a half smile plastered on her face.Luke didn’t wait for her, which was unusual.And now that Sister Gemma had called for her so early in the morning, it was even more unusual.“Good morning, Sister Gemma.”“Elena, good morning,” she replied. “How are you?”“I’m fine.”

In no time, Elena and Daniel got to school. Jordan had gotten there already before Daniel and was hovering all over Melanie. She seemed to enjoy the attention as she was also gushing over him.June and Ivy had arrived too, surprisingly together. June was obviously surprised that Elena was going on the trip and failed to hide her what seemed like disappointment from Elena.They got in and sat in the plane in pairs. June with Ivy, Elena with Daniel and Jordan, of course, with Melanie. Elena noticed the look Melanie gave her on seeing Daniel grab her hand, pulling her to sit with him. Elena met her eyes and she immediately flashed a fake smile turning her attention towards Jordan."Nervous?""Just a little bit," Elena shifted. "Okay, fine. I'm nervous."Daniel leaned forward, taking her hand in his. "It's your first time so you should be. There's no need to be though, it'll be

"Let's all go to a restaurant today.'' It was their third day at Ireland. Elena paid almost no attention to Ivy's suggestion as she was too busy searching for the laces to the sneakers she wore the previous day. She could swore she left them by her bed side but to her surprise they had disappeared. She dared not ask June for their whereabouts sure she was going to tease her. 'Are you sure you didn't leave it in Daniel's room?' That was probably what was going to say if she asked her. She groaned at the memory of her mysteriously falling asleep in Daniel's room. On his shoulders too. She couldn't be more glad June decided to come wake her up at 11:48pm. According to June, Daniel had also fallen asleep, his head rested on her head and instead of Jordan waking them up from their unplanned slumber immediately he got in, he stood at a corner of the room quietly watching them sleep.As if June's teas

“ELENAAA WAKE UPP!”Elena rolled over as she felt the duvet sheets dragged away from her, exposing her face to the sunlight penetrating the windows.“You’ve been sleeping since literally forever! The bus would be leaving in less than an hour, we’re going to the museum remember?!”“Oh, Ivy, good morning,” Elena drawled, sleepily.“Yeah good morning? You skipped breakfast already unknown to us you were here sleeping. Now get your lazy ass out of bed!” Ivy yelled, fixing the curtains.Okay, this was a different shade of Ivy.“I really overslept, eh?” Elena muttered.“Obviously,” Ivy rolled her eyes.“Where&rsqu

Elena was glad Luke decided to tag along. Not that she’d admit it or tell him anyways. She hadn’t even had the opportunity to tell him about Ireland cause he was too busy telling about things that happened while she was away. He told her his school, Amigo and everything that happened to him. The bus ride was short or long- whichever way, she didn’t notice cause they were too engrossed in their conversation.They alighted at the second to the last bus stop, according to Luke was a trekkable distance away from June’s apartment building. They got down, Luke’s arm protectively around Elena’s shoulders as they walked.“Are you sure we aren’t about to get lost?” Elena asked Luke for the hundredth time. Again, Luke ignored the question.“You know i’m just making sure we-”&ld

Elena slammed her locker with one hand, holding her books with the other. She headed to class, anticipating June’s arrival- they both had English class.She opened the door to her classroom, earning few eyes turning towards her. Her eyes immediately scanned the class, searching for June. The teacher wasn’t in class yet to her surprise.Time passed by slowly. The teacher said everything she had to say, more than half attracting a ‘true’ from Elena’s head. Her mind was constantly wavering. June wasn’t in class.She needed to see June. She needed to confront her and say what was on her mind. She needed to clear things.The bell finally rang, Elena immediately jumping out of her seat. She grabbed her books hastening , throwing them into her bag. She brought out her phone to text June.Elena: Where are you?She

Elena fiddled with the red shoe laces, trying to tie them into the exact bow they were tied up in when Daniel gave them to her. After series of failed attempts, she gave up, tying it up in a regular knot. He was right. The sneakers looked good on their uniform and even better with her complimenting it with knee high socks. She grabbed her backpack, rebuttoned her shirt to make her necklace less obvious and headed to school. In less than 25 minutes, she got to school immediately heading towards her locker. She inputted her locker combination, opening it to reveal two pictures. One of her and Luke and one of her and June. June. She looked around hoping to see in the hallways. Just as she hoped, June appeared right beside her."Hey girlll," June greeted, her voice filled with enthusiasm as usual. "Were you expecting me?"

Elena ran faster than her legs could carry her. She had been running since Kevin broke the good news to her- she ran to his car and now to June's room. She pressed the number in the elevator continuously making the other occupants stare at her weirdly. She couldn't care less as she impatiently waited for the elevator to arrive on the fourth floor. She pulled the door open, revealing June standing, gazing out of the window. "June!" She ran towards her, immediately pulling her into a hug. She hugged her tightly like she was scared she'd disappear. "I was so scared. I missed you so much. Why did you have to take the bullet? God, I was so worried." They held each other for a while before pulling away. "It's okay. I'm the one who's to be sorry." "You've said that so many times already," Elena said. "How are you?" "I'm fine," June groaned. "I just

"Thanks for the meal.""Don't mention it."Silence filled the room again as they all ate breakfast."So, Lucas," his dad began, breaking the silence. "What exactly happened?"Luke dropped his cutlery. He looked at Elena and then his dad."I was on my way back to Amigo after meeting a friend," Luke replied. "Then a dude attacked me and then...yeah."Eyebrows were knitted, faces were scrunched."But why?" his mum asked. "Did you by any chance know that man? I mean, why were you kidnapped? Who has something against you?""Um...it's..." Luke stuttered, looking at Elena. "No, I have no idea who or why he did it.""Oh?" she arched an eyebrow. "Are you sure?""Yeah," Luke replied. "Where's he now?""Probably in hell already," his mum said as she grabbed a cup. "H

"Are you up?"Elena opened her eyes to meet a nurse standing in front of her. She was dressed appropriately, one hand holding some files, the other hand on Elena's forehead. "How are you feeling now?""I have a light headache," Elena replied, trying to get up. "Where's Luke and June?""I'll be right back. I'll inform the doctor and your relatives that you're awake."Few seconds after she left, the door flew open revealing Sister Gemma, Daniel and his parents."Babe," Daniel called out as he rushed towards her to pull her into a hug. "I'm so glad you're fine. How are you? God, I was so worried.""I'm okay," Elena replied as he pulled away, his palms stroking her cheeks."Elena, dear," Daniel's mum called her. "How are you?"She nodded. "I'm okay.""Oh, Child! How are you?" Sister Gemm

“Well, hello.”Elena wiggled, trying to loosen the rope used to tie her hands. “Who are you? Who the hell are you?! Let me go!”“Do I have to knock you out again for you to keep shut?” Conor eyed her. “Oh, Felicity, you’re up too.”“Let us go, Conor,” June said. “Why are you doing this?”He ignored June as he walked towards Elena. “I’ve not introduced myself to you,” he smiled devilishly. I am Conor Richards. We’re family, don’t worry. You’re my wife’s niece.”True. “Where is Luke? Where did you keep Luke?!”“Keep your voice down, girl. Felicity should have told you, I hate noise,” he said, massaging his temples. “Oh, Luke? The nosy kid. I like him. He’s strong

Elena winced. "Ow, my head," she groaned in pain as she looked around. Where was she? She looked around again. It was wide room with small windows covered by dirty curtains, making it suffocating. The paint on the wall was faded, different stains and marks plastered to it. There was a wooden table and chair at the corner of the room, several empty crates, bottles and cigarettes box laying carelessly around. It looked like an old abandoned room. She tried to move immediately realizing her hands were tied. She wiggled, trying to free her legs that were tied too. She tried to remember how she got there but instead her terrible headache reminded her of its presence. "Oh my God," she whispered on realizing what had happened to her. She was kidnapped! Tied up and locked in a strange room too. "Oh my God, June!" She yelled as she spotted June laying lifelessly on the floor few inches away from

"Are you okay?""NO, I AM NOT OKAY," Elena squealed, not taking her eyes off her phone. "This music video is amazingggg. Look at Namjoon! OMG, Jin looks so hot. V is literally killing meeeee."Luke groaned. "You should have warned me to prepare myself for an episode of your fangirling.""Well, I didn't know Bighit was going to drop another MV for black swan," she replied, her eyes still fixed on the phone. "My babies. I missed them soooo much.""How do you miss people you've never met?"Elena paused the video, turning to face Luke. "I missed watching them and seeing their faces. So yeah, I missed them.""Whatever. Just continue watching your video.""I was going to do that without you saying it."Luke shook his head as he watched Elena resume her fangirl duties. He smiled, wondering what it could be Elena found

The empty room resonated with the sound of the slap Conor threw across June's face."You careless little thing! I warned you to be careful," he spat."I'm sorry," June stuttered. "I didn't want this to happen. I swear i-""Save your chitchats for someone who cares," he said, placing his hands around her neck. "I warned you. I even paid for your trip to Ireland so you could keep an eye on her and in return?""I'm sor...sorry," June managed to say, choking as a result of Conor's strangling. He let go of her, pushing her to the floor.June rubbed her neck as she kept on coughing. She tried to cover her mouth knowing the sound of her cough would only anger Conor more."I'm sorry. I'll try my best to fix this" she continued. "I'll do anything you ask me to.""Oh, you will do anything I ask you to," he smiled, devilishly. "Who else

"And that'll be all for today. Don't forget to submit your homeworks before next class."Elena grabbed her books as she stood up to leave class. The one hour chemistry class had finally come to an end.She walked through the hallway, hoping to see Daniel so she'd not have to go all the way to the pool to meet him. He left class midway with Jordan texting her that the seniors called all of them on the swimming team."Elena."She heard someone call her name, making her turn.It was June."Until when are you going to keep on ignoring me?" June asked, standing few inches away from her."Until it all makes sense.""Elena, you can't continue giving me the silent treatment," June said, frustrated. "Please, talk to me.""Talk to you?" Elena asked, irked. "Okay, fine. Let me try to put

Elena stared at the ceiling she had been staring at for the past one hour.She laid on her bed, resting her head on her tears soaked pillow. She was exhausted. She was tired.She felt alone. She had never felt that way in her whole life. She and Luke never fought. They disagreed on trivial matters but never actually got angry at each other."Elena, it's time for dinner," Lily said to her. "Are you okay?""Yeah, I'm fine," she sniffled. "I'm not hungry, thanks."Lily looked at her for a while before replying. "Okay, take care of yourself.""Mhm mhm."She sat up, picking her phone.Elena: lol. Me and Luke just had this huge argument.She exhaled at the familiar sight of bubbles floating on the screen.Daniel: Hey. What happened?Daniel: How are y
