VictoriåHey, are you still listening?You know that one moment in your life where you're like:'What the fuck?'Yeah, yeah, that's what's happening right now.I opened my eyes, meeting nothing but complete darkness.I was scared and alone.I was tied to a chair in the middle of the room, my hands aching as I'm sure that they must've been there for a long time.My head throbbed and pounded.There goes two words that shouldn't be said together.My legs were tied as well, and I was more focused on trying to figure out where I was.What smells like poop?Wait, is that me?I tried sniffing myself but I realized that the smell was coming from the corner.But I couldn't see over there, so I sighed, trying to take my hands out of what I was certain were zip ties.So cliché.I heard loud footsteps coming toward the door, and my breath hitched.The door then swung open, and a single light was turned on.As I glanced in the corner where the poop smell came from, I let out a scream as I saw the
LandonI stood outside, smoking as I waited in the car for them to come outside with her.It was hard to find her. They made sure of it. No trace of the vehicle Ryder explained, no security footage of them leaving.It had been three weeks since they took her and I hadn't slept since.This was my fault.My entire body froze as I watched them run out of the building with her.She was limp as Damien carried her, a knife stuck in her neck and she bled. Her skin was pale and she didn't move once.I zoned out, wondering if this was just another sick dream of mine. If my eyes were playing tricks on me."We couldn't stop them." He said giving her to the men in the other SUV.I snapped out of my thoughts, watching him as he got into the vehicle with them."She's not breathing." Ryder said frantically, his hands covered in her blood."We can still save her. Come on." Damien said and he got into the SUVWordlessly, I got into my car, driving all the way to the hospital.I watched as they rushed
LandonI watched as they rushed around trying to save her right then and there as nobody had enough balls to ask me to leave.They used a defibrillator on her, shouting orders at each other as they worked.They tried, her entire body jerking upward as they did. But she didn't come back.They tried three more times and nothing. I got up finally, about to leave when I heard it.A single noise on the monitor followed by multiple others."She's stable." One of them said and another sighed in relief."This beauty is a fighter." The doctor said and they did a few more tests before leaving.I wondered if she'd survive this. After all, her body was weak because she was tired.And she no longer had anything in this world to live for. I wondered if she'd stay for a while.It was a few days later when she finally opened her eyes. I had just come back when she did.As her eyes fluttered open, they landed on me and she cracked a smile."How long was I asleep for?" She asked, genuinely thinking tha
VictoriåI laid in the middle of my room, tears falling down on either side of my face.I was alone now. And all of my depression and traumas were hitting me with full force.Sniffling, I picked up the picture of my father and I.This day had to be the worst day of my life. My father had come to my school, drunk, later that day.He beat me, in front of everyone and nobody did anything.After that, I just stopped expecting people to help me.Running a hand through my hair, I got up and went into the kitchen.Then I dropped the picture frame, breaking it.I grabbed the picture, lit the stove then watched the picture burn in front of me.My father wasn't a father. He was just a man that had a lot to learn about life.Or maybe he wasn't a man at all.To get my mind off of things, I started cleaning up.I broke down a few times during the process but I got it done.I went into my "mother's" room, cleaning up and searching for the signs I've missed all these years.But there were none. My m
VictoriåI walked through the school gates after a month of disappearing.I had called ahead and explained to them what had happened.Of course, I told them that I had an accident.Running a hand through my hair, I watched as Ryder approached me.He instantly engulfed me in a tight hug, kissing my head."I missed you so much." He said, wrapping an arm around my shoulder and leading me over to the guys."Rhee, I heard what happened." River said, his eyes glancing at my neck and I nodded, giving him a small smile.As he said that, I turned around and watched as Landon's car pulled into the gates, all eyes turning to it.He parked in his usual spot and didn't get out, only lowering his window.He stuck his hand out of the small space and with his finger, signaled me over.Now, all eyes turned toward me and I smiled nervously, walking over to his car as the passenger side swung open.Inside sat a pissed-looking Landon who didn't even look in my direction.I got in, shutting the door and l
VictoriåI sat in the living room watching sad movies with a bucket of ice cream on my lap.My appetite had come in and I wanted to eat as much as I could right now.Tears streamed down my face as the movie ended and I wiped my tears, putting on another one.For the first time in a long time my phone was blowing up next to me.I had made a lot of friends today, realizing that there was nothing holding me back now.But that didn't matter much to me. I grabbed my phone, dialing the number and putting the phone on speaker."Landon." I called with a smile when he picked up."Bella." He responded, sounding like he was driving."Do you wanna help me make dinner?" I asked, laying on the couch.He didn't respond for a while then suddenly, he hung up.What the heck, man?Frowning, I got up and walked into the kitchen.I placed the bucket of ice cream into the freezer and grabbed the ingredients from the cabinets.I went upstairs and grabbed a shirt to wear so I wouldn't mess up the one I alrea
Victoria "It feels weird," I shook my head, placing a small piece into my mouth. "I think I got too used to having just you." I said honestly.He had cut his steak perfectly into even pieces and I had come to realize that he did that with everything."Who are your friends?" He asked, his deep voice traveling to my ears and I smiled."There's Lana, Piper, Marcus, Nathan, and Mia." I replied and he nodded slowly.We finished eating in comfortable silence and I got up, taking our plates into the kitchen and washing them.Landon leaned against the doorway behind me, silently watching me."I'll pick you up in the morning." He said, walking toward the door and I walked him out.I opened the front door, watching as he walked outside.I was about to shut the door when his hand blocked it and I cringed as that must've hurt."I'm so sorry." I said, instinctively taking his hand and rubbing it in mine and he rolled his eyes.Landon's hands were always ice cold and I couldn't be more confused ab
VictoriåAs I got out of the car, I saw my new friends smiling in my direction.That was, until they looked behind me and saw who was there.Landon walked through the crowd of students, getting scared looks and frightened smiles.He patted my lower back as he departed, going over to the guys and I went over to my friends."Rhee!" Piper greeted, smiling at me.Piper had blonde hair and blue ends that matched her blue eyes.She was around 5'7 and had a septum piercing and a smiley."Hey, Rhee." Marcus then greeted.Marcus was 6'0 with dark hair and brown eyes. He had a crucifix hung from his ear and he had a tattoo on the side of his face.Then there was Lana, who was a ginger. Her hair was curly and she cut it to her shoulders that suited her perfectly.Her eyes were dark brown and she was the innocent one.Nathan was the loud, extroverted one that had no cares in life. He purposely flirted with the boys and girls that walked his way and I smiled.He was 6'2 with light brown eyes, blac
