2024-10-29 19:42:56They stepped into Ivy's house, accompanied by the deafening music. Elena clutched on to her purse, glad she needn't worry about her tripping, thanks to her flats. June was excited, way too excited, as she found her way into the crowd, her eyes scanning every corner.
"Heyy," Ivy screamed through the loud music blaring from the speakers, walking towards Elena and June. She looked gorgeous. She wore an aqua green gown reaching her mid thighs. She was beautiful, even June had to admit. "Did you just get here?"
"Yup."
"Oh okay," she replied. "My brother is, should be around."
"Your brother?"
"Yeah," Ivy smiled. "I didn't forget to tell you, did I? It's my brother's birthday party."
True.
Ivy's brother. Harry Shane. He was in his final year and quite popular too. With his good looks, brains, and good sense of humor- at least so they said.

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

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.

Her eyes immediately scanned the class, searching for June. The teacher wasn’t in class yet to her surprise.Time passed by slowly.

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.

"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.

“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

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

"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

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?"

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
