ECHOES OF TRUTH Chapter 18
What…? "You heard me," he joked, his grey eyes showing his amusement. I was very nervous because of his closeness. I gulped, feeling my throat dry. I could feel his strong arm around my waist, making it impossible for me to escape. "Let me go," I said, trying to free myself. "No, you owe me something," he added casually. My heart was beating fast inside my chest. "I'm not going to kiss you, Logan," I replied and felt his free hand take my chin. He leaned towards me little by little until our breaths mixed. "Logan, don't do it." "Why not?" His nose touched mine. He was so close; I couldn't concentrate. "Because..." My voice trailed off. "Why?" "Because I hate you," I answered, trying to look away, but his grip on my chin wouldn't let me. I was trapped. "You don't hate me," he declared arrogantly. His grey eyes looked into mine; I felt like I was melting. "Me..." A knock on the door interrupted me. I jumped in surprise, and Logan let me go. I could see the frustration on h
ECHOES OF TRUTH Chapter 19
Note Reading……. "I had to leave, but I'll be back :) You owe me something, remember? P.S. Next time, don't put your umbrella under the bed; it almost stabbed me. Logan." I couldn't help but smile. Logan is so weird; he acted like he didn't like me, but he was always everywhere. I wondered why he didn't talk to anyone else; something had definitely happened to him. But I couldn't help but feel special. Why did he only talk to me? I sighed and decided it was time to take a shower, even though it was freezing outside. Another cloudy day; I hadn't seen the sun in days. After grabbing my towel and soap, I headed to the showers. The warm water began to fall over me, relaxing me. I closed my eyes, and the first image that came to my mind was Logan’s face just inches away from mine. God, he had such beautiful eyes. I placed my hands on the cold wall, strands of my wet hair sticking to my cheeks and forehead. I finished my shower and proceeded to change into my uniform righ
ECHOES OF TRUTH Chapter 20
I was speechless; Xander's green eyes merged with mine. I couldn't utter a word. "Anna!" Émilie’s voice snapped me out of the moment. I looked over at Xander—Flynn meant to say hello. I saw Flynn standing behind her. He gave me a closed-mouthed smile. "Hi, Anna." "Hello." "Can I talk to you for a second?" Émilie and Xander frowned in confusion. "Sure," I said, and followed him to a lonely place. "What's wrong?" "Anna, I know that the first impression you had of me was not the best," I crossed my arms over my chest. "But please don't tell Émilie about Lyra and Sana." "She is my friend." "I know, but I really like her. If you tell her, I know she'll push me aside." "I don't trust you, Flynn." "I'm not asking for your trust; just give me the opportunity to show you that I'm very serious about Émilie," I sighed. Flynn sounded really honest. "Fine, I won't tell her, but if you hurt her or at the first sign of something bad, I swear you will pay." "Thank you, thank y
ECHOES OF TRUTH Chapter 21
Cold... It is very cold... I'm on my knees; I can feel the snow soaking through my pants. My hands are shaking in my lap; they're covered in blood. Why? There is a huge commotion around me, voices screaming, and I feel like I'm not there, as if my mind has decided to go away and leave me lying in this freezing snow. The blood on my hands drips and stains the white ground beneath me. Blood... Anaís... I clutch my chest; I can't breathe, like something is stuck between my ribs. It's so painful... My vision is blurred by the huge tears that have formed in my eyes. In the distance, I can see a male figure dressed in black. You... A strong hand touches my shoulder, and I scream loudly in panic. I opened my eyes slowly, blinking as I adjusted to the light around me. The first thing I saw was a white ceiling. Where am I? I felt the soft bed beneath me; I was lying on my back. I lifted my arm, noticing an IV in it. What happened? A flash of memories from the night
ECHOES OF TRUTH Chapter 22
Listen, Anna, I know we didn't have the best of starts— she paused, looking down. And it was my fault, entirely. Can't we just start over? she asked, looking up. There was honesty in her eyes. Of course.— I smiled at her. She nodded and left the room. Lyra was strange, but I knew she wasn't a bad person. A very tall doctor entered, his white hair and mustache matching the walls— Good morning, Miss. I'm Dr. Altman, the psychiatrist on call. How are you feeling? Well, a little confused. He gave me such a big smile that made me feel like everything would be okay, “That’s completely normal.” What happened to me? Am I... okay? - I had to ask. Yes, the neurologist has already examined you, ordered some emergency tests, and received the results this morning. You are doing very well; just a little anemic, but nothing that can't be resolved. So... What happened to me? Well, we could know more exactly if you describe to me what happened yourself. I don't know how to explain it; I just
ECHOES OF TRUTH Chapter 23
Silence... A very awkward silence reigned between the brown-haired boy and me. His words kept spinning around in my head: We finally met. What was he talking about? “Who are you?” I asked, frowning at his cold expression. He stepped forward, staring at me intently. I’d never seen such deep black eyes, had I? He just smiled at me. “Are you okay?” I ignored his question. “Who are you?” He ran his hand over his chin. “Who am I?” His face seemed so familiar to me. Do I know you? He hesitated. “That doesn’t matter now, Anaís.” How do you know my name? He opened his mouth to speak, but the door abruptly opened, revealing a smiling Xander. “Anna, I...” Xander's smile faded when his eyes met those of the brown-haired boy standing a few steps away from me. The boy just gave him a closed-mouthed smile. “I was just about to leave. Bye, Anaís”—and with that, he disappeared through the door, leaving me even more confused. “Do you know that guy?” Xander asked me as he sat
ECHOES OF TRUTH Chapter 24
I started my way down the long, silent hallway. I passed doors that looked very different from the ones in our apartment; they looked like thick metal doors. Some had a small square glass window that didn't look easy to break; others didn't even have that window; they were just metal. A cold wind blew through the windows on one side of the hallway. I looked outside, seeing dark clouds and fog. I swallowed hard, scared. It was too lonely out there. The only sounds I could hear were my footsteps. I hugged myself, quickening my pace. I heard something behind me and turned quickly. Nothing... Then I heard a voice, soft, delicate, full of confidence. “Why are you in such a hurry?” Where does that voice come from? I stopped, turning my head to look at the door beside me. “You have nothing to fear; we're safely locked in.” I shouldn't answer him. “Your name is Anna, right?” How the hell does he know that? “Don't be afraid; I can't hurt you.” Curiosity moved my body, and I
ECHOES OF TRUTH Chapter 25
Logan... I whispered, feeling him behind me. I was trapped; one side of my face pressed against the door. I couldn’t move and wasn’t sure I wanted to. Logan’s well-built body was pressed against mine. I tried to turn away, but he pressed me harder against the door. His breath caressed the back of my neck, sending tingling sensations through my body. “Logan, let me go.” "Why?" he spoke directly into my ear. I swallowed. -You're hurting me- I lied. -That's not true.- he answered, rubbing my earlobe with his warm lips. Logan... Yes? It sounded funny. Let me go.- Surprisingly, I felt him step back, freeing me. I turned around, confused, and found him staring at me. Those gray eyes could drive anyone crazy. Instantly, I blushed slightly. What? You're so easy to read, Anaís. - He smiled at me and walked over to my bed to sit on it. -What are you doing? You can't be here- I crossed my arms over my chest. "I'm bored," he sighed and fell onto my bed. -Hey! Get off my bed.
