Chapter 42
*Roxy's POV*
When I pick the call, I place the phone on my ear and the smile on my face fades slowly as I speak to the person on the other end.
"Is this Roxy Trent?" the woman questions.
"Yes. How may I help you?" I ask.
"I am calling in from the State Women's Prison–" before she finishes her words I cut her off.
"My mother, how is she?" I utter. The last time I visited her, I was with Vic and she was glad to see him. That was two weeks ago. We had some family time together even though for a very short time. But I loved it.
"Calm down, we need you to come over immediately and see her–"
"What happened? What the fuck happened?!" I slam my fist on the coffee table, making Vic to jump on his feet. He is now staring at me with worry. He knows that whoever is on the other line has bad news. Scott is up on his feet and the two of them move closer to me.
"Ma'am, just calm down and get ove

Kyrah's POVBlake and I arrive at an elegant restaurant and we are welcomed warmly at the entrance. After we confirm our table, the receptionist shows us where it is and we thank her. I am in wedges and a knee-length pink floral dress with a brown clutch bag. I may be wearing a dress which has a bubbly color, but deep down I feel like crap today. I fake a smile when the waiter arrives at our table with the menu."Hello, this is our menu. I'll be back for your order in a few," he says in a deep French accent."Bring us two glasses of wine, please. When you get back," Blake says and the waiter nods firmly, turning on his heel to leave.I start playing around with my nails absently until Blake brings me back from la-la land by touching my hands across the table."Has anyone wronged you? If it's me, just let me know. You look troubled, Kyrah," Blake says as he eyes me keenly."No, babe. It's not you, I am a little off moo

Roxy's POVI managed to call Mrs Bailey and she told me she's on her way. That made me a little hopeful because she's the only person I have left, now that aunt Olivia decided to abandon us.At the gate of the prison, all of us open the doors of the car before it stops and step out once it comes to a hault. Scott leaves last and at the gate, the lazy female guard who's usually there checking people's identification, doesn't even bother lifting her head up. A cigarette is in her mouth and she's busy playing a game on her phone. The moment Scott's dad clears his throat she looks up and the look on her face is bewildering. The cigarette drops and she salutes him instantly. Her body going from a crouched posture to a straight one.She stumbles on her feet and yells at the guard who has the keys to the gate to open up. The rest of the guards salute the General in unison, but he ignores them completely.In a second, we storm in headed to the s

Kyrah's POVThe moment Blake and I arrive at the prison, I spot Roxy and next to her is Vic, Scott, my mom and a person I assume is Scott's dad. I run as fast as I can to her, trying to focus on my steps, careful not to fall because of my wedges.I call out her name a couple of times but all she's doing is blankly looking at me. From the looks of things, all her energy has been depleted."Roxy, I am so sorry I–" I begin but her reaction makes me stop talking.She stands up from her seat and begins to walk away as if I wasn't even talking to her. Like a zombie, she's walking away, without a word. She doesn't even dare to look back and heads for the large double door, giving Blake a look of disgust.I turn to face my mom and she's busy scowling at Blake, I turn to Scott and he has his eyes focused on Blake too. Vic is wiping his tears with the hem of his shirt and then Scott's dad's face looks more familiar now. I've seen him on TV

Three days later, I'm still in my room. I didn't attend classes. Maeve has been awfully quiet and I know it's because of me. She only comes in late and leave early in the morning, she doesn't even bother looking at me.I sigh and sit up right on my bed, facing her."If you're not going to talk to me, well, fine... But I won't just sit here pretending that everything is okay, when it's not. Look, Maeve, I'm sorry for cutting you guys off like that. That was stupid. I mean, I didn't even realize what I was doing until Roxy blew everything right in front of my face. I messed up big time and I just want to say I'm sorry. From the bottom of my heart, I really am. Just say something, please... "She sits up right on her bed and faces me, right after she puts her phone on the bed."I'm glad you realized what you did wasn't a good thing. Honestly, you didn't hurt me that much. You should actually be apologizing to Roxy, she's the one you hurt th

My vision is becoming blurry by the minute and every single building seems to be moving too close to me. I can barely breathe and sweat trickles down my forehead. My throat is as dry as a desert.My chest feels tight.This is not the place to faint. One of the men, the head of the group, or so I assume, moves closer to me. His eyes are bloody red and one eye is twitching on and off like a light bulb. Blake is on the other side struggling to get to me and his anger can clearly be detected."Don't touch her!" He yells and the man turns to him and laughs, a very terrifying laugh. Then he turns back to me."It's either you're the cops or the cops sent you or–"I cut him off."I'm looking for someone.""Wonderful! Well you can't go through without the code," he bellows and stares down at me keenly.Damn it! I can't seem to focus on my thoughts and breathing at the same time."She's struggling to

They put on quite a show there. My thoughts are interrupted when one pats my shoulder."Sorry we scared you. Come by and we'll have some tea with my family."Wait what?"Uhm, okay. We'll go now," I utter in confusion as I rush to my car.As Roxy gets into the car, she waves at them and I start the engine and drive off."Care to explain everything? Like, now!" I demand.Roxy stares at me, "Well I guess we both have alot of explanation to do. I see your boyfriend got you a fancy car. Hot damn!" she touches the leather seats, amazed."Well, yes. We'll be riding together. Promise. Now tell me, who is this... Scar? How did you even get to know these people?" I pause as we hit the high way, "Did Vic know you were here all along?""First of all, I've never met Scar, but he's the leader. They tell me he knows me but I don't know how. Secondly, when I was a kid, one day I got lost in an al

The loud music is probably the reason why they haven't noticed me yet until I yell."Music stop!"And the girls' giggles fill the air and when they turn to me, they smile. Blake's face looks like he's seen a ghost. He pushes the girls aside and drunkenly tries to step out of the jacuzzi, sliding a few times. His black shorts are dripping water on the marble floor."Care to join us?" one of the girls with ash brown hair giggles and slides her tongue ring between her white teeth making the most horrendous rattling, that's worse than nails on a chalkboard. I scowl at her, crossing my arms around my torso. I huge lump is forming on my throat already, making it hard to swallow my saliva.When Blake gets to me, his feet wobbling like jelly, he speaks."Baby–" I cut him off. My palm held in front of his face."Don't you 'baby' me!" I hiss. Anger taking over my entire body. "What is the meaning of this? Who

In the car, I explain everything that just happened and I spot his muscles tense and his jaw tighten."Son of a... Look, I'm really sorry you had to see that and honestly it doesn't make any sense that he did that because you two argued because of Roxy. That's a lame excuse to cover up such a mistake," he turns on the driver's seat to face me, "I hate to see you like this... Crying." He catches a tear that's trickling its way down my cheek. His fingers feel warm on my cheek and I sigh heavily.His gunmetal blue eyes hold an emotion that I just can't read."He better not hurt you again, because I swear to God if he does–""Just... Just let him be. Take me home, please," I beg and he obliges."Okay. Just be careful, Kyrah. I care about you more than you know," he says and starts driving.On our way, I sit shotgun staring at my feet and a thought hits me. I turn to face Scott."Scott?" He glances
