"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

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

Buried Scars CHAPTER ONE
Elena Harper let out a groan as she turned off the alarm clock by her bedside. "Dude, I need to sleep." "I'm sorry," she mumbled to her roommate as she grabbed her toothbrush. Reluctantly, she stood up, her eyes lazily scanning all her roommates still sleeping. Seven sleeping peaceful souls. Why did she have to attend a private school? She let out a final groan as she crawled towards the bathroom. Her eyes ran through the huge signage on the bathroom door. AMIGO. She smiled. Elena had been living at Amigo for as long as she could remember. Amigo was an orphanage. It was established decades ago by catholic sisters and had been active ever since. Elena hadn't really bothered about how she got to Amigo-her parents were probably dead or didn't want her like every other person at Amigo.
Buried Scars CHAPTER TWO
Elena sat on her favourite chair at Amigo Garden right beside the waterfall. She picked the tiny pebbles around her throwing them into the waterfall, watching them drown. It had always been something that managed to take her mind off things temporarily. It was like watching her troubles drown with the stone.Her backpack was still hugging her tightly as she was still in her uniform. The day’s events kept on replaying in her mind.“Elena," Luke called out walking over. He was still in the outfit from earlier- dark blue jeans and a grey t-shirt except that he now had a black hoodie on too.She glanced at him as she sighed.“I...”“Shhh,” she shushed him as she placed her finger on his lips. “Don't. Please just don’t say anything.”He nodded as he slowly sat beside her. She mentally th

The bell for dinner rung as an army of hungry girls rushed downstairs. Elena groaned the hundredth time as she reluctantly stood up from her bed.She wasn't hungry. Food wasn't on her mind but she still had to go to the dining to avoid the nuns getting all stressed up.Luke had finally totally believed her about my newly found gift. Of course, he just had to. Probably just like everyone else would have felt, he still considered it cool.She still found her new 'gift' hard to believe but damn, it was real. So she was going to prepare to live her life now with the fact that she could tell if people were being truthful or not.She sat at the dining, her mind constantly wavering. She was going to meet Luke again after dining to nag him. The familiar smell of roasted Turkey brought her back to the dining.Roasted Turkey was made at Amigo not just for Chri

Elena stood there confused, unsure of what to think or feel.Elena, i mean Courtney.It wasn't her.What was June talking about? It's my job anyways.Since when did June have a job? Since when did any student of Dawson High have a part time job?"Oh Elena," June said, coming out of the toilet, obviously surprised to see her. She looked startled. "What are you doing here?"Was she supposed to ask her? She didn't know what to say."I just came to wash my hands. I was about to go meet you in the cafeteria.""Oh," June flung her hands around her shoulders. "Okay, cool. Where have you been by the way?""Just the library. Um...who were you talking to you?" Elena asked, almost scared of what next."Oh that," she replied, almost laughing light

Elena slowly unrested her head from Lune's shoulder. She didn't want to think about anything. She didn't."True," she said. "My fairy head mother said it's true.""Oh My God, this is huge!" He said. "And interesting."Of course, you can say that."I didn't want to know.""Oh," he said. "I'm sorry."She sighed. "It's okay. So now my real name is supposed to be Courtney?""It's a nice name.""Oh shut up, Luke," she grunted out. "How do they name children at Amigo?""Well, if the child previously had a name then that's what the child would be called. But if there's no name tag then they automatically give the child a name," he explained.True."Oh?""Yeah," he continu

The path that led to Amigo was a quiet one. Few cars, few houses, few people- making Amigo more peaceful. Ever since Elena was little, she'd always loved walking on the path to relieve stress. When she was younger, it was whenever she was displeased. Whenever she didn't like the meal cooked or had fought with a kid.She walked a little further, accompanied as usual by the ever fresh breeze, endless scattered leaves, and the tiny pebbles begging to be kicked around.She found herself in a nearby park. The screams and squeals of happy people messing with her headphones. She and June had been there once. They both got their faces painted over and over again and ended up looking like a character from the walking dead.Elena smiled at the memory as it quickly vanished as she almost jumped. She pulled off my headphones turning to see who tapped her.She turned to see Daniel looking as handsome as ever.

"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

"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
