This can't be true, this is not happening. I can’t believe my eyes, is this happening right now? I haven’t seen her in a long time. I tried to piece everything, but I cannot think anything other than just gawking at the person standing in front of me. Iam trying to reason what is she doing here but my mind is just blank with nothing.
Iam just staring at her, she has changed a lot. Once bubbly and petite girl has changed into a skinny and disturbed girl. She always had this warmth in her eyes but now there is this madness and an evil glint that is shinning very brightly.“Maria Smith” is her name, she was with me for half of my life. She was a big part of my life, I was always smitten with her because she is perfect in everything. She was a popular girl and a social butterfly and a cheerleader. I was also popular and a social butterfly but not as much as maria. We were like two pods in a pea.We were different from each other but still, we wereJordan's pov:(Scarlett's father)Am I in a bad dream? Is this the worst nightmare I am having right now? Because maybe I have never imagined or dream about the situation I am in. My precious little princess is missing! And I don't know where to look for her. Every father's world is his daughter, his little princess. How much older may she get it doesn't matter, to a father his daughter will always be a little girl who needs her father, her superhero.I have never imagined that my little girl is going through this much and she is not sharing anything with her superhero. It makes me sad and angry at myself for not talking to her more than I should. I should have stopped her from leaving this town, maybe I am selfish but a father is only selfish when his little girl is going away from him.Scarlett always made me proud from the start, I feel proud of everything she does. The regret and guilt are eating me away. The superhero in me is taunting me for not being there
I lost consciousness in between but when I gain consciousness I am tied to a chair like in a typical Hollywood movie, where the heroine gets kidnapped by the crazy ex-boyfriend or for the money but in my case, I am kidnapped by my crazy ex-best friend and I don't even know the reason why I have been stalked! Attacked! And kidnapped! I have so many questions in my head and it felt like it was going to burst any second with all the questions and the drug they used to make me lose consciousness.Maria is watching me like a crazy person sitting on the ground with a knife twirling in her hand. I gulped down seeing her with the knife and the determination in her eyes." umm! M..m..maria?" I cleared my throat and my throat feels like I have been thirsty for years and my voice comes out as a whisper. I gulped some more and tried to get Maria's attention because it feels like she is in a daze or something."Maria? Are you there?"" What a dumb question is that Scarlett? O
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”. T
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
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
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
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: " 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
