His Dirty Little Secret Chapter 23: Sneak.
SUMMER.“How could you still let her to be on her own after everything?!” My dad raised his voice at my mum but she was well prepared for his tantrum. Wedging into him, she looked him straight into his eyes.“Give her a break, Davis” Lily urged. He panted heavily, pinching the bridge of his nose. I caught his lackluster stare as I giggled my way up the stairs. Most especially whilst covering my scarred arms. At least it was healing but it was only about an hour since I got the tattoo.“You’re going to spoil this girl…”“Taylor, please.” My mum replied. I heard a couple more back and forths before I reached my room door. I slammed it, immediately finding my way into the bathroom. I stared into the mirror, looking down at my arm, across which was a little V inscribed into my flesh. It was scarlet red in color so as maybe small as it was, it was still so visible.I fell in love with the experience, I was definitely getting another after this. I squealed in front of the mirror, the most a

SUMMER.The past few nights, Vincent and I had spent together. They were perfect, down to every last bit of it. Once the clock struck midnight, I would already be waiting by the windows. He'd bring his bike and I'd bring myself.They were the perfect few nights, sometimes we'd stay by the lake and just gaze into the star filled skies. He'd tell me everything he knew about Orion and I never would've been able to guess that Vincent was into astrology. But he was just so layered, it was beautiful.Each moment I spent with him was never dry or boring, there was always something more that I knew about him. And he'd said the same about me. But with every night that passed, it filled with me even more dread than happiness because it was a reminder that Summer was nearly over. At least for me.As much as I would've loved to stay in Oregon, I still had a life back at New York, med school and my mum. Everything else that had been planned since the beginning of time. I usually didn't care so mu

VINCENT.“Fuck!” I screamed into the skies, ramming my fist into the side of my bike until my knuckles bled. But there was no use, I couldn’t even feel it beneath the pouring rain. My hair was drenched and soaked across half my face. Only after a while did I run my hands through it and I sucked in air through my lips. My hands fell to my waist as I tried to figure out what the fuck just happened. Summer was mad, I didn’t think she’d be after everything, especially the time she told me she loved me.A moment that had been replaying in my head ever since. I rattled my brain as to why I couldn’t have just said it back. I mean I’d said it a countless time to women I probably didn’t mean it to. It was so easy to lie but this was different. It felt different.Summer wasn’t just any woman, she was Summer.Or maybe the actual reason that I couldn’t say it was deep down, I knew it was true. And I knew the moment I said it, it would all just become real. I would be vulnerable and it scared me.

DAVIS.“Yeah she’s doing better now” I placed the phone against my ears as I threaded down the stairs. Lily hummed on the other end of the line and I could swear I heard a light scuffle in that moment.“What is it?” I recognized an ‘i told you so’ even from a distance. “Nothing” She whispered. “The one day I was there, it was obvious how much of a handle she was” She referred to Taylor and speaking of the devil, I looked across the kitchen counter where she stood. She had her face buried into her phone screen like she did half the time.And she was picking out from a fruit bowl just beside her. I heaved a deep breath. “But I guess she must be something special about her” Lily added with a sweet tone. “Otherwise why else would you be with her” She continued and as I walked further, I realized I could ask myself that same question and still wouldn’t have the answer.“I gotta go” I pinched the bridge of my nose as Lily exhaled. “Goodbye, Davis” She said before hanging up. I looked into t

VINCENT. "Are you okay?" Stella's shriveled voice was barely audible over the phone. Davis's car had only just come to a halt and it wasn't upon alighting the vehicle that I was face to face with the police station. A hard lump went down my throat as I realized what this could mean.And even if I didn't, Stella was there was to remind me."Where are you?" She asked. "I'm at the police with Davis, we have to turn him in before he hurts anyone else" I said, referring to Gustavo and I heard a couple of sobs on her end. "Are you out of your mind?" It was predictable that she'd be distraught."That could put you in a lot of trouble—""But he has Summer!" I yelled through gritted teeth. It had been hours but he still had Summer, I didn't care if I had to go to prison or make an enemy of Gustavo if it was the only way to get her back. She was all that mattered and he crossed the line abducting her."Put us, Vincent" Stella whispered. "This could put the both of us in serious danger. I'm sca

VINCENT. “She’s in there.” I looked ahead at the building before all of a sudden, my phone started to ring in my pocket. The sheriff alongside everyone else almost installed darted their eyes back at me. I pulled my phone out and looking at the screen, a chill went up my spine.“It’s him” My heart stomped, seeing Diablo’s name across the screen. Davis and the sheriff raced backwards as I answered the call. “How does he know we’re here?” Davis was the most worried now, even Lily just stood at a distance with her arms crossed in front of her.“Shuu” I gestured. Across the phone screen, it was pitch black for the first few seconds but that was before we heard a shrill cry in the background. I would know her voice from a mile away—Summer.“Diablo!” I gritted through my teeth. “So you’ve fallen right into my trap huh?” Although we couldn’t see him or anything, we heard his voice. “Leave the girl alone. It’s me you want!” I muttered.“Oh Vincent, sweet naive Vincent. Because I have your l

DAVIS.The corridors inside the building was well intertwined and dark. Barely any lights were working, about half of them flickered, a pattern which we followed until we got to the stairs. Then both Vincent and I came to a halt.“Which way now?” I lifted my eyes and the walls echoed by my words. “I doubt he’s taken her upstairs” He replied. It was completely dark up there, not even a twitch or a flicker.“He always talked about a basement around here. I’ve got to find it” He took his feet, scavenging his pocket for a torchlight. “Well I’m going to head upstairs, you stay here” I croaked. Vincent immediately stood to his feet, he turned back to me.“You really want to split up, now?” He asked and honestly, I just didn’t want to be anywhere near him now. I was beyond furious each time I thought about his hands on my daughter. Vincent was a mess and as much as he was my friend, we were nothing alike. He was bad news, nonchalant and reckless most of the time and this just proves my eve

LILY.SEVEN MONTHS LATER.I sat in that chair, opposite Dr Max. For a moment, the room was silent up until Davis came rushing in through the door. He was drenched in the rain and as he sat beside me, he heaved a deep sigh.“I’m sorry I’m late” He panted. “It’s in the middle of Spring and I don’t get why it rains everyday now” Davis shrugged and our counselor only let a light scoff. “Well I’m glad you’re both here” Dr Max folded his arms.I glanced at Davis and then at his outstretched arms before a hard lump went down my throat. We’d decided some months back that we were willing to give this another shot—but only after some thorough marriage counseling. And I could’ve sworn before that this was what I wanted.But as I sat in that chair, so much had already happened and I wasn’t so sure anymore. “So,” Dr Max cleared his throat. “How have you been?

SUMMER.“Summer” My mum moved closer to me. “I am, I guess…” “Please don’t lie to me” Lily begged. “Please don’t lie” And my heart broke. “I don’t know mum. I just feel lost and there’s not many words to describe the way I’m feeling right now. Like I feel empty, like I don’t even know myself anymore. I find myself hating dad more and more each day and Taylor doesn’t even help matters. Then on the other hand, I find myself liking peo—things that I never thought I would” I whispered.“Im just…Lost.”“Oh Summer.” She called. “Don’t call me that, you know it feels like fall instead. A sunday morning in Autumn when the smell of dread fills the air. I should’ve been called that instead” I muttered beneath my breath.“Do you know why I named you Summer?” My mum suddenly asked and I darted a look back at her. “Yeah, you told me once on a drunken night” I scoffed and she rolled her eyes to the back. Mine were tearful.“After dad?”“After dad…” She echoed. “It was the time I met him and the ti
