The first thing which I heard after a long time is "I'm so sorry princess " from my dad. Seeing him sad and guilty broke my heart. It is not his fault and I don't want to see my dad in guilt for the thing which didn't had in his hands.
"Daddy! Please don't say sorry. It's not your fault" I replied hugging him tightly. I missed his cinnamon flavored cologne so much and his warmth too. I started feeling secure in his arms.
"I'm sorry too baby, we should have come here as soon as it happened but we are so sorry when you needed us we are not there for you" my mom sobbed hugging me. Like I told before my mumma's hugs are best. It made me warm and safe.
Jordan Williams and Shannon Williams are two strong people I have known my entire life. They are my role models and I have looked up to them alot. My mom is on the emotional type, she is kind and empathetic, on the other side my dad looks tough but he is a big
I was discharged from the hospital and We went to my apartment to pack my clothes for the stay at my hometown. I told zay and Lilly to not come to the hospital because technically it saves their gas and besides i'm going to the apartment only.Mom, dad and I hailed a cab and we took off. This is the first time my parents are seeing my apartment in person. They were always seen on video calls. Mom is so excited to see the apartment . Dad is keen on checking the neighbourhood because it is always the protective one between my parents.By the time we reached my apartment, Eli's car was already parked in the parking lot. I Am disappointed to not find omer's car. I thought he would come to the hospital when I'm being discharged but he didn't and he didn't even come to the apartment. With a sigh I entered the apartment with my parents. Iam startled by the screams of my friends.
It's been a week since I am in town with my family. It looks different this time from the last time when I was leaving this town. I was always haunted by the unwanted memories and the weight I had been carrying on my shoulders. Now it felt like I can breath some more surrounded by this place. My injuries are mostly healed. My ribs ache if I work them much and I had blue and purple bruises which are healing pretty good I guess.In the past week mom and I went shopping, she literally dragged me to all the stores and made me buy new dresses and shoes which I don't want because I have too many clothes but mom is so stubborn like me. I have to surrender to her because if not she will start the blackmailing part where she will remind me of everything which she did for me when I was a child like, changing my nappy, feeding etc etc and my mom would add some embarrassing moments for the dramatic effect.And I don't want people to hear all the things. So I silently
I totally locked the incident which happened at the office and the stalking. My brain didn't want to relieve any of it that's why it totally erased it until now. My brain suppressed every single piece of the time from which I have been stalked and attacked. Now seeing the contents of the envelope unlocks everything which is Locked deep inside my head.There are Pictures of me From the moment I stepped out of the hospital discharged to the moment I reached my home from the lake house. In the mall with my mom, saying goodbye to my friends, fishing at the lake house, every single moment of my time is captured.I thought that if I forget everything and act like nothing happened then everything is fine and I don't have to face a stalker anymore but I am so wrong about that.I don't know how to approach someone with this issue. What if no one believes me? What if they think that i'm crazy? Everyone thinks that I have hit my head pretty hard that's why Iam saying about being
Omer's pov :"Hello! Are you still stuck in that place David? " I yelled into the phone getting angry by each second. Why don't they complete their work on time? He is taking a lot of money from me for this investigation but still there is no lead. Ugh what i am going to do now. Everything is getting to me now the stress, lack of sleep and food and the thing which is piercing me is the fact that I didn't want to see Scarlett off. I tried to make it on time to the hospital or her apartment but I'm stuck with this investigation because I can't keep her in harm's way any longer. Once this case solved and the attacker went to prison I can spend as much time as I want with Scarlett." You have only one day left David and I want you in my office by tomorrow with good news. '' I warned him, hoping he will do his job properly this time." Yes Mr Yusuf, got it. I'll be there in time " he answered and I ended the call. My head is throbbing so hard making me dizzy.After ge
Zayreen's pov:I'm boiling from the inside thinking that my best friend got attacked brutally. If i got the chance to catch that person who did that to scarlett then iam going to torture that person with my bare hands. I smirked at my evil thoughts and left my room to check up on Lilly. Unfortunately Lilly is not alone at the moment but that dumb blond muscle Barbie is there sitting on the couch munching chips like a pig. I don't know why but he irritated me to the extent that I wanted to strangle him. Ughh." omg there is a pig in our apartment lilly" I yelled startling them both. Lilly jumped and her magazine fell on the ground and the blondie started choking on chips."What the hell! Zay, you scared us" Lilly said glaring at me totally ignoring the fact that Blondie is still choking dramatically." I told the truth Lilly that we have a pig in our apartment and now that pig is choking on our couch" I said, controlling my laughter." Oh my god zay! What are
Omer's pov :There is only one thing in my head and that is to reach greenport as soon as possible. I can't waste a second and I'm driving like a madman breaking every signal and speed limit. I'm surprised that I am not followed by the cops yet! And I don't have the time to get caught. Zayreen Is yelling beside me to drive slow clutching the seat belt tight." omeeeeeeeerrrrrr! Stop the car, I don't want to die this young and I didn't even got married yet and I have a lot of things to do""Calm down zayreen, nothing is going to happen. If you distract me by telling me that we are going to hit something. So, stop yelling and stay calm"" how do you expect me to stay calm omer. Oh my god i'm going to die to today"." you are exaggerating zayreen" I rolled my eyes at her." whatever omer but please drive slow. We are going to reach on time and I know nothing is going to happen to scar"" I don't want to take any risk zayreen and what if we don't reach
Omer's pov :How did I let this happen again? How did I became this careless again? If something happened to my Rose I'm not going to forgive myself ever. There are photographs of Scarlett taken here without her knowledge and I know that the stalker is following Scarlett here and keeping an eye to strike again. I should have hired someone here for my rose's safety but i didn't thought that the stalker will be here.I stuffed the photographs in my coat's pocket and left Scarlett's room. Iam going to search for her and bring her back safely. If I want to go to hell to bring Scarlett back, so be it, I don't care. I climbed down the stairs and was ready to dash to the door but stopped by Scarlett's mom." umm are you going somewhere?" I bought you some lemonade and sandwiches "."Thank you Mrs. Williams but I'm in a bit of a hurry"."Call me Shannon and is everything okay? Is Scarlett going to be okay?"." Don't worry Mrs...Shannon nothing is going to happe
Kidnapped!?(This chapter is after Scarlett left home to meet the stalker)Driving through the town made me so anxious that I just wanted to go back to New York and hide in my apartment or sit with my friends forgetting everything. On the other hand I want to get with it, want to know who the person is stalking me and what is her reason behind it. I know the thing iam going to do is reckless and dumb but I can't help it. I want to solve this problem and move on from it. I want to fight back and show to that person that I am not weak, iam much stronger than she thinks.I just regret one thing and that is not informing anyone where I'm going. I don't want to involve anyone in this and hurt them. It's better If I face my troubles alone without involving anyone.My thoughts travel back to the time where I got bullied by the people who once admired me. People like them are two faced and they flip like a coin according to their convenience. No, I don't care what people
6 months laterEpilogue Scarlett’s POV: The large doors of the church opened and i held my breath with anticipation and eagerness to walk down the aisle and see my fiancee and soon-to-be husband. My arm wrapped tightly around my dad’s arm and my heart is beating so fast and my ears are ringing with the way my nerves are dancing inside me. “ Princess, breathe.” Dad chuckled beside me and his warm large hand landed on mine stroking gently and easing my nerves. I gulped my nerves down and took a deep breath trying to calm my crazy nerves.“ Thanks, Dad.” I whispered, iam thanking him for being a good dad and a rock through out my life, supporting me and standing with me in every single phase of my life.He never questioned when I announced my engagement with Omer to my parents. My mom and dad both are happy and on the ninth cloud hearing that iam finally getting the happiness i deserves.“ No, Princess, Thank you for a wonderful and perfect daughter.” He whispered back, tears welled
Omer took my hand and guided me outside. All the way towards his car my heart is beating erratically and I still can't believe that I am going on a date with Omer.Finally! It's our first official date.It's not like we went before but still I am all giddy and excited.Most of my life has been one heck of a crazy and chaos and for the first time after so long I feel normal.“ Where are we going?” I asked, not able to contain my excitement.“ It's a surprise, Rose!” He chuckled at me and helped me inside the car.My breath hitched at the nickname he gave me and always called me. We never get the time to talk about anything but now I have all the time I want in my hands and I'm sure I will get to experience everything. “ Rose! Why do you call me that?” I asked, when he entered the car.With his beautiful chocolate eyes he smiled and took my hand in his warm hand giving me butterflies.“ I don't know why I call you that but I love calling you Rose. Maybe you are as beautiful as Rose! Or
" Thank God! I am finally leaving." I am all ready to go home and i'm giddy thinking about sleeping on my bed and chilling with my friends.I have missed them so damn much and there was chaos before but now I can feel at ease and do whatever I want to do and go anywhere I want to go." Yes! For the nth time Scarlett, come with us." My mom pouts asking me to go back home with them but I want to stay back and enjoy the time with my friends for some time." Mom! I will come back once I get holidays. Please!" I hugged her tightly trying to make her feel at ease. I know they are worried about me but I need to be on my own to feel like I can breathe freely for the first time." Darling! Let her stay and have fun with her friends. We will come back and take her when she is ready." Dad joined our hug and I feel safe and warm inside their arms and I can truly enjoy every moment not question myself if i am worthy of everything i am getting.Maria did a number on me and i'm not going to let her
Omer's Pov: " Is she asleep?" Zayreen asked, getting up from the chair she occupied with Lilly and Elijah. They all look still worried despite the doctor saying that Scarlett is alright and she just needs rest.Physically she is fine but mentally, we don't know how much that crazy girl has damaged Scarlett. The way we found her is a nightmare and I never want to see that again.Maria is in the Asylum as she is not fit in the head to be in a prison but the mental asylum is much more cruel than the prison and I will make sure of that." Yes, she is sleeping and you guys should go home and rest." They have been in the hospital with me since the second I took Scarlett here and she is very lucky to have friends who stays with us in our difficult times too." I will stay with you, Omer. Lilly, you go and take some rest. Once Scar's parents come back, Omer and I will come too." Zayreen is so stubborn and she doesn't want to leave me alone as she knows I need someone with me as I am still in
My eyes opened on their accord not giving me any other option but to brace the light blinding them. It's like my life has been dedicated to the hospital at the amount of time I opened my eyes. I feel like this is my second home." How are you feeling, Scarlett?" A familiar deep voice sounded beside me which sounded relieved and happy to see me open my eyes again and I am grateful too, for the first time in years to open my eyes after the incidents I didn't want to be in." I'm fine, Omer." I knew I would find him beside me no matter what and the fear I felt in the seconds before I passed out was like hell and I was so afraid that I would never see this beautiful man ever again." I'm so happy that you are with me, omer." His eyes softened, raised his hand and patted my head with so much love and adoration shining in his eyes. " I Am happy too that you are with me, Rose. I was so scared that I was going to lose you before doing this." My brows drawn down in confusion at his last words
Omer's Pov: " How Much More Do We Need to Drive, Omer?" Jordan asked from beside me sitting impatiently tapping his leg on the car floor. As much as he is anxious I am anxious too.Fear is gripping my heart so tightly that it feels like it's going to burst any second. I have got the last location of Scarlett's phone and now I just need to be on time to see her there.I don't know what I will do if I don't see her there. We are driving into thick forests and the GPS is showing that we are fifteen minutes away from the destination. I am going to drive those fifteen minutes in five minutes." I just need five more minutes to get there, Jordan. Don't worry we will take Scarlett with us this time." I assured him and myself. I need to be positive right now.We don't know who the stalker is yet but once I get my hands on her then I am going to kill her." I hope she is okay, I don't know what I will do if something….." He didn't let himself finish that sentence in fear that his doubts will
Present " How Can I forget what you did, Maria!" I scoffed at her but she just stood there without any remorse or guilt on her face. How can she be fine after hurting someone to the extent they decided to take their life and always felt self-conscious and suffered from mental health?" I did everything to gain your attention, Scarlett! I was suffocating with being only your friend and I want more from you but you never looked at me like that." Tears gathered in her eyes and she looked so broken but now I can easily predict when she is going to change. She is behaving like someone who has a switch in her head that is turning off and on every second." Maria! I'm so sorry that you felt suffocated and I never noticed your feelings towards me but if I would have known then still wouldn't have reciprocated your feelings." I respect her feelings and I would have supported her and helped her but she didn't approach me but rather walked a negative path, a path of destruction." I know that bu
Continuation of the last chapterIt's been one week since I bolted from the cafeteria not giving any reply to Noah and one week since with our Maria's bullying. It seems like the silence before a storm. I never thought that Maria would go to this extent to bully me, hurt me, and made me miserable.I don't know she did it intentionally to hurt me or it's just a coincidence but seeing her smirk with a smug face screamed she did it to hurt me and this not only hurt me but broke me into pieces.It was the day of prom when I and Maria were still friends we planned to come together without any dates. We planned our prom shipping till the time we get ready at my house because it is close to the school. We choose our dress colors too, Maria chose the red color and I chose wine color but we didn't choose the model of the dress and waited to decide once we find anything on the internet but Maria had plans which involved bullying and treating people.I still chose wine color for my dress and I c
I remember everything that has happened and I can’t forget anything from the time where I have spent more bad moments than good ones. Good memories are easy to forget but the bad memories will haunt you forever and they will stay with you till the day you die, maybe still haunts you after your death too. Who knows!Meeting Maria was a good thing or a bad thing. I never thought about it at first but as the days went by I got, even more, confused about it. She is this girl who is so calm and lovely at one minute and the second minute she will become this moody and bitchy girl who likes to bully people. I have never liked this side of Maria and have always tried to change her habit of getting happiness from others humiliation but I never thought in my life that I would be the victim of Maria’s weird obsession with bullying people and humiliating them. “If you don’t want to get humiliated or embarrassed in front of everyone then stop talking to other people and replacing me with them”.
