DanielWhat the fuck is this I just found out tonight? Damn! I'm fucked up, I fucking fuck up big time!Like..dad..did it? He is the one in that video? Jezz someone please burst my bubbles the more because I'm going insane right now.The place I drag her to is dark, and a little distance from the balcony so my dad wouldn't hear us, especially the fact that she is so pissed..making her voice sound like a speaker.I hold her in place, because even though she is extremely angry..she isn't okay. I can see the way she is slowly losing her balance and how her eyes blink a couple of times. They gave something to her, and I think that is making her feel drastically drained of energy. She's fucking tired..it shows in her eyes, her body flimsiness and even in her speech." You are all fucking piece of shit, I'm not gonna rest till I make you fucking pay for every atrocities you've done. You! and your fucking father!" she slaps my chest, she is crying as she speaks. I feel terrible as I recall
ElenaMy head hurts. It is as though someone hit me hard on my head. I prop on the bed, scanning where I am at. The sun is pouring into my window as I'm squinting my eyes, I see that I'm in my room. I try to get up from my bed but something like a sound of a bell ring in my head. A loud one that it hurts so much.Jesus Christ, what's going on? I stumble forward to the table in my room, there's always a glass of water there. I grab it and begin to gulp it down hurriedly. Trying to get myself back. I don't know what happened to me. Last night... I give my head a little massage as I try to recall what happened last night. I take a calm breath and relax when memories begin to flow back.I remember hearing Mr Callum and Mr French saying something about Diana, and the person in that video is Ryan's dad!Shit! I grab my cell phone and begin to dial Ava's number. The phone begins to ring when I hear a knock on my door. I'm super high in tension that my hands are too quivering making my phon
ElenaI knew she wouldn't be able to take it, I wasn't prepared to spill it out to her that way, before Ryan beat me to it. I couldn't be mad at him for telling her, She needs to know, poor Diana was raped by Mr French. If you ask me I still don't know how he was able to do that. A lot is fishy that we are yet to find out. She is furious and I don't think she should drive in this state. Ava and I are almost the same, we usually lose our minds when something hurts us to the bone. " Ava, get in my car I will drive us to your house." I instruct as she inhales and exhale heavily, her mood, even the colour of her eyes all suddenly go into a state of dormancy. " Elena, I'm losing my mind. I can't believe she was raped but mom told me she fell down the stairs. I knew all along what she told me wasn't the exact truth, but she was my mom! I never thought of doubting her and I didn't...." She is gasping for air as she enunciate in a haste, mid-air. " Hey, Hey. Calm down. Take in a low breat
RyanAlcohol has always been the best way to clear out the thick cloud in your mind. This amount to the third bottle, I pour the alcohol to my glass, and I pick it up and downs it in a second like I was drinking water. I'm in the bar, away from the lobby in the living room. I'm here to clear my head or find a solution to my heart burning in pain every time and it is always about that girl. Elena. As I seat alone, I seat in my silence. Memories of the fight we had, I and my brother float through. Daniel must be crazy to be dancing after her like a pet. I will never believe my dad did that and I wouldn't blame Daniel for saying that, it is not his fault and if you ask me, he needs help. I need to help my brother to come back to his senses. " The fuck why you drinking so much bro?" I feel a hand slaps on my shoulder. Tyson grabs the next seat beside me as he grabs the half bottle of alcohol in front of me. " This is the only way to sort out yourself as a man." I raise a side of my li
RyanI join my father and few of his friends in the other room since the living room is busy with the party. He is having a discussion with his friend whose name is Mr Calum. I hear a little of their discussion and it is about Elena. She's giving herself more trouble the fact she is accusing my father. What is she trying to do? She doesn't make sense, even Daniel has started going nuts because of her." She has lost it." My dad is saying." She was drugged, she doesn't know what she heard." Mr Callum adds. I couldn't find her since she left the kitchen, I think I lost her in the crowd I don't want her doing anything stupid.I hear she was on drugs, and I become curious. " Did you drug her?" I ask, directing the question to Mr Callum." I did, but for her to sleep." He answers. The answer doesn't sit right with me though, but why will he drug her?" Ryan, he is Elena's stepfather. He probably wanted her to relax, she's been stressed of late." Dad explains more, I agree she has been st
RyanI'm up as early as possible, I have a black bag in my hand putting a lot of money into it as I prepare for my brother today. Today, we both don't see ourselves as brothers but as opponents." I don't believe you, bro, you are going to fight Daniel? Fuck, you two have gone insane!" Tyson stands at the edge of my door, pacing around with his hands folded across his chest. He's been doing all kinds of things to stop me but that's not the case. The point is whose senses get corrected." Get out of my way bro." I'm done packing the money into the bag, I put it on the ground as I amble to my closet to get some shirts I would use. When I get there, I would change. I can't wear the clothes from home, people might find out im going to fight..or even mom might suspect and she wouldn't tolerate when she finds out I'm going to fight my brother." Ryan you can't do this, he is our brother." Tyson still argues, but I give him a deaf ear as I rush into the bathroom to freshen up." Hey, has he
RyanMy eyes are closing, as a pool of blood is pouring out of my lips and my nose is oozing out blood. I won't die, but this is a punishment and it is not enough to cover up for what I have done to her.Was this how I made her go through pain? I didn't know it hurts this much when you're innocent and no one believes you. I'm fucked!" What the fuck is wrong with Ryan!? The heck, man wants to kill himself?" Darius' anxieties rise like a tide, and I hear his voice fainting. Maybe it is me, the noise is gradually fainting and everywhere is going blurry.I lie on the ground against the wall, I can't move a muscle because all my bones have been ripped by him... Griefs are what I feel right now.He hits me hard on my jaw for the last time, " Get up bro, what the fuck is wrong with you! Get up and fight me." he throws the gloves off his hands when he noticed I wasn't responding and my eyes are shutting close." Ryan!" he immediately knees in front of me, he is touching my jaw as he frighte
ElenaI run into the house after slamming the door hard. I'm crying and I shouldn't be, I did the right thing and now I have to make them feel the pains I went through.The house is a little dark, I hide in a corner at the aisle crying so no one would hear me. It hurts, it hurts badly to be detached from your mates. " My Poor Elena.." Ava comes from behind hugging me, I didn't smell her presence coming, maybe I was too indulged in the pain. I saw Ryan's blue eyes.. it was so full of regrets, it was obvious that the rejection broke him and the entire Quads." Ava, I just broke the bond between us." I take my hands off my eyes, I wrap them around her shoulder to hug her as I let out all the waterwork on her shoulder." You will be fine. We will be fine, Elen." She rubs my back softly. I take my head up to stare at her, she looks so exhausted and there are black spots below her eyes. It is obvious she hasn't been sleeping, she's been watching over Diana desperately. She desperately want
Elena" I will never forget about you, Elen. I know I was a bad cousin but you still didn't despise me." her eyes are teary as they plop her luggage, into her car. " I would never hate you, Ella. You are still one of my favourites and I understood your reasons. Just be a good girl from now on." I smile broadly, she pulls me into a tight hug and kisses me on the cheek. I do the same before waving her goodbye, as she hops into her ride. " Travel safely to the airport love. And ring me once you get back home. I love you." I wave at her. " I love you too, Elen." she stares at me through the mirror, until I went out of sight. " That's so cute of you, Elen," Ryan says from behind me. He has Emerson in his arms, holding up the sucking bottle for him. " Thank you, honey." I get close to him and he kisses me on my lips for a few seconds. I jump a little to his height and kiss him on the cheek before we go inside. " I'm so happy, everything has been resolved between you guys!" Ava shouts a
ElenaI sit on my bed, eyes wide open and staring at the glint in my room. Everything seems so calm after finally getting off Miss Shepard’s trap. I never imagined I would be set free just for the mere essay I wrote. Well, it could be an essay to her, but it was a piece of my heart.I hear a knock in my room taking away the calm silence. “ Come in.” I say from the tip of my lips, throwing my hair freely to my back.I stare innocently at her as she comes to put baby Emerson in my bed. “ You busy Elen? I need you to take care of your baby brother for me.” she says, I take my eyes off hers to meet him and he smiles. He is always smiling. I wish I’d remain a baby forever. So peaceful and has no trouble in life.“ Um.. for a while mom.” I run my hands into my hair softly. It’s Friday and we have some activities during the school day, which I barely have some details about.“ Oh alright. Twenty minutes then, I will be back soon.” she winks and runs towards the door. I turn to Emerson slipp
TysonJesus Christ!Damn, fuck me! I couldn’t hate myself more for saying those words to her. I couldn’t withstand her crying in front of me. I was so tempted to pull her onto my chest and hug her tightly, and kiss those ugly tears from her eyes.I couldn’t even tell her the reason we had to do that. I am so fucked up!I haven’t been able to breathe properly since I clicked on the block button. I had to stop myself from messaging her. I couldn’t just stare at my phone without having the urge to text her. Without having to tell her that I love and I would never leave her.It was so fucking hard to say those words to her. Damn, I feel like roasting myself in a hot flame. I can’t cope anymore without her by my side. God, it is killing me!I rise from my bed and storm out of the room. I didn’t go to school today, I wouldn’t be able to bear it. I can’t have her on the same premises and not speak to her. I would die of hurt and guilt.I walk along the aisle, my throat feels sore after I d
ElenaI gather enough courage to drive myself to school. Scared to see the Quads. Especially Tyson. Scared to meet his eyes, that he was truly comfortable with blocking me. " They left her completely this time, now she's alone." I hear some chuckles beside me, as I lay my hands on my locker. A small smile spreads from my lips as if the gossip I just heard about me didn't just crack my heart like a bomb attached to a wall. I get my books out of the locker and slam it hard, to let them know that I heard the gossip about me. But no reaction, I fucking won't. Let them say what they want. It's been over two weeks and since I haven't heard anything from Miss Shepard, I can as well go back to the classroom. I slip my books into my arms and walk away, heading to the class. It's Monday again, and having the same subject I wouldn’t like to take for now. The same subject that gave me detention. The same subject allowed me to know what love is. The same subject that gave me the chance to l
Chapter 101ElenaI watch myself shattering like broken glasses. I’m dumbstruck, all I do is laugh a lot like I’m going insane, because I’m too hurt to peel a single tear, too broken to cry, too broken to move my lips, too broken to speak to anyone, the easiest is laughing as though I have a mental illness.I do. I do because at this point I can’t seem to believe what I heard from Tyson, I don’t believe yet that they left me. No, I’m dreaming, I want to wake up.Since yesterday I haven’t shed a single tear, I haven’t cried and I don’t know why. My brain says I’m okay, but my heart says a different thing.I stand numb in the female bathroom, can’t feel myself and the worse part of it I can’t recognize this girl in front of me, I don’t know who she is, this girl in the reflection, with weary eyes, broken self, heavy heart, shattered inner walls.One thing about mirrors, it only shows how beautiful you are from the outside, it hides your inner ugliness so that no one can see it but you.
Chapter 100ElenaLast night, Tyson didn’t drive me back home. He said he had an urgent call and he needed to leave early. He stopped an Uber to take me back home, and when I did he didn’t contact me to confirm if I was home already. I held my phone tightly hoping to have a message from him or a call last night. I didn’t until I dosed off.I drove in my car, I’m in the parking lot of Ivy Prose high school, watching my phone patiently to beep. I feel sick of waiting for his text, it’s not too bad if I text first right? Maybe it was too busy for him last night that he couldn’t give me a call.Elena: Hey are you okay? You didn’t give me a call last night after I got home. I send him the text. Normally it doesn’t take Tyson a second to reply to my message. I wait three more minutes in my car, staring at my phone as if my gaze were permanently glued to it. No reply.I step out of my car when I hear the bell for the first-period ring. Knowing I can’t go to class yet like a normal stud
ElenaI woke up very late, checking my phone and finding out it is 10 a.m already. I’m fucking late for class. I slide the covers off my legs and step out of the bed. I stay a moment on my bed trying to recover back to reality then I remember today is the last day of my two weeks detention. Shit, did I just woke up late on the last day? I stiffen when the realization hits me. I go to take my bath when my phone begins to ring. I have no idea who will be calling me by this time. I decide to pick up the call before going to shower. I get my phone from the corner of my bed, realizing the caller is Tyson. He must have been waiting for me in the library, maybe he was already sick of the wait so he decided to call. “ Elena,” his voice is deep and low as if he was just waking up. “ Good morning, butterfly.” his voice is hoarse sending shivers down my stomach. “ Tyson, good morning. You sound like you just woke up? I was expecting your loud scolding voice to scream at me, why I haven’t a
Chapter 96Chapter 98RyanWe are at the basketball training room, listening to our coach explaining about the sports competition coming up soon.Daniel is here and a few other person I know are here too, except Tyson, and I think Darius should be into another game, maybe football. As for Tyson, I guess he isn’t interested in the competition at all and if you ask me I don’t know where he has been or what he has been up to lately. The only place we get to see is at home.We are about twelve interested in basketball this time, last time it was baseball but now we are into another game and it just started getting fun, especially the plan I have in mind about my poor brother.“So guys, you all have to listen to the rule, a very simple rule. This is a semi-stage to know if you are going to be chosen or not. Once there’s any mistake you are going to be eliminated from here, and kiss a goodbye to the final game. Got it?” he asks, clapping his hands for us to get started.“ Got, it coach,”
ElenaThe past few days I had spent in the library, make me feel like something has changed about my life, everything. How I breathe, how I smile, how I easily get over the hurt and how I easily get up on my two feet and move on.And the reason is just that one person that has been making my heart burst. My heart almost burst at the last statement he made before he left. I'm climbing up the staircase smiling as I am hugging the transparent vessel, where Tyson put my flowers. It's pretty, I love the scent and I love that I received it from the person that almost makes my heart burst with affection.I climb up lazily like a fat man who is having difficulty in breathing. I halt for a moment and a wide smile comes across my face. Thinking about his nice looks, his beautiful smile and most of all his beautiful words..." Elena." I hear my name, I take my gaze down the stairs to find who just called me." I haven't been seeing you lately in school," Ella says, coming closer as she lifts he
