2024-10-29 19:42:56Elena sighed.
Her eyes ran through the hallways as she hoped she'd see anyone she knew. Just anyone would be fine.
She knew she was already 25minutes late for class, that not even motivating her to head towards class faster. She slowly slammed her locker shut, throwing the notebook and pens she collected from it into her bag.
She didn't see Luke in the morning. Either he went to school really early or he was going really late. She had uselessly lurked around, hoping to see him before leaving for school thus she got late.
She had maths. Positive that June would be in class already, she hoped she saved a seat for her next to hers. She couldn't imagine eyes following her as she looked for a seat to sit. If she was unlucky, her annoying classmates would fill the empty seats next to them with their backpacks immediately they saw her approaching. Not that they hated her, they did it everytime someone was l

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.

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

"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

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

“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.

"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

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
