Mykel's pov:
School was finally over and the girls were starting to leave except most of the boys. There's a football game being hosted and Merlin voted me in and I have no choice but to participate in the stupid game.
Austin was able to get me new football jersey that I could put on for the game.
All I have to do now, is to tell the driver that I'm not gonna follow them home. They'll have to leave without me.
I got to the parking lot where Rissa's car is always parked but then, there was no sign of the car anywhere.
Her friends were gone too.
I can't believe Rissa went home without me. She didn't even tell me.
I sighed and went back to the field to find Austin and Merlin.
"So, what did she say?" They asked simultaneously.
"She left already - no sign of the car and no sign of Rissa" I replied feeling a bit livid.
Mykel's pov...I stood up and headed for the door. I just called Selena and she said she's close by."Mykel, where are you going to?" Rissa's mom asked from behind.Shoot! What do I do about her?"I...I just want to walk around, clear my head" I stated with a bland look."Oh no...no one is leaving this house until my daughter is found. Not even the employees" She stated with her teeth chittering.She really looked scared."I'll be back soon, I promise" I said raising my hands in the air.She thought about it for a while.."I can't restrain you. It'll be violation of your rights as a human - be back in ten minutes so you can be questioned by the police" She muttered and I heaved a sigh of relief.Today's gonna be a long day.I turned around and started
Rissa's pov....The door opened again and the same mean man entered. Maybe, he has changed his mind.I pretended to still be in bondage as he approached the bed gradually touching his belt area."You're back, huh? I was starting to think you were heartless enough to leave me here alone!" I remarked.He chuckled and removed his belt completely."Don't you ever shut up? You spoiled brat" He glowered and jumped on the bed.I freed my hands from the rope and pushed him off."Don't come too close, you filthy pig!" I blasted glaring at him.He dragged my legs under him and tried yanking my shirt off. What the shrek is he doing?! Mr Frosh's pov....*Sir! Sir! Look who we found outside. He demands to see you* A voice informed.My eyelids perked up a bit to see who
Rissa's pov....My fingers clutched tightly onto his shirt as I sort to maintain the tightness and closeness I felt at every corner of my skin.His kiss was so perfect and passionate.It was quite brain spinning that I let go off everything and let him be in control.I still couldn't understand how I was able to hold my breath and kiss him this long.Rissa definitely needs help. He broke the kiss slowly and pushed backwards a bit.I could feel the warmth from his lips dancing around mine.His taste is undescribable!I tried not to think about Lucas and the fact that I just cheated on him with Mykel.I don't think I'm the best of girlfriends there is.Without saying a word to each other, Mykel and I snuggled up on the backseat just gazing at the glittering stars above the roof of the car.  
....Rissa's pov....."What do you mean you got locked in the toilet???!" Mom asked with her hands on her waist."I don't know how it happened...the door got stuck and I got tired of knocking" I blabbed sweating under Mykel's shirt.Lying is not an easy job, thats for sure."What about the driver?? Where is he? He's not even answering my calls!!" She further asked obviously starting to get dubious over the matter.I shrugged my shoulders like a clueless goat."Rissa!...""Leah, thats enough interrogation. Let her get some rest and take a bath. The important thing right now is that she's safe and wasn't kidnapped like you claimed" Dad chipped in giving her a scalding look.I turned and started going upstairs. Mykel tried following me but dad's voice stopped him."Come here, Mykel. I want to talk to you".&nb
(Later That Night) Rissa's pov:I had almost fallen asleep when a knock came upon the door from the outside.I pulled myself to sit up on the bed waiting for whoever it was to let himself In. The person I least expected came in - it was Mykel.He was in his pajamas and carried his black colored pillow. Pineapple was also entering the room with him."Is there space for us?" He asked looking stonily at me.Creepy.I nodded fervently and they proceeded to climb into the bed with me. I hope Pineapple had a bath before he infects me with whatever dirt she's carrying!"You can't do without me, can you?" I asked meticulously.He turned to have a good glance at me before throwing a scoff."Who do you think you are? I don't need anybody, much more a clingy girl like you" He answered spitefully
....Rissa's pov....I blinked rapidly still short of words from what was stated in the paper.Is this the reason mom was asking me questions about Mykel??I got the urge to tear the paper into pieces. Mom can't possibly be thinking I could accept Mykel as my brother.There was a creaking sound from behind that got me startled.*Rissa?*I turned around, astound to find mom leaning against the wall."You've not gone to bed...why's that?" She asked worriedly."Um...I found this paper..." I paused and approached her with it."You're planning to adopt Mykel?" I asked demoralized."Oh, no! That was what I had in mind after he was released from juvenile. I called a lawyer to work on the adoption process but then, I noticed how rueful you were with him so I decided to put it on hold" She answered wearing a look of contempt."The
....Rissa's pov....Mykel and I left quite early for school the next day and I wore the bracelet mom got me from her outing with dad yesterday.Things are starting to get awkward. I can't believe Mykel woke me up with a kiss. I was completely dumbstruck when that happened. It almost looked like he was watching me sleep and he couldn't restrain himself from giving me a kiss.Would it be weird if I admitted that I liked him. I mean, I tried to kill him a month ago!I don't like that butterfly feelings I get whenever he touches me. I wish I could just hate him again because I feel weak and sheepish feeling this way."What's your classroom like?" He asked after a breeze of seconds."They stare too much and they're mostly noisy. We talk a lot" I hesitated with a shrug.I tried to show that I didn't care too much about him joining our class today and what blows my m
.......Rissa's pov......I felt like jumping off a cliff. The torture and scar wouldn't leave me. I can't believe this was happening. Why did I agree to it in the first place???.I was blinded by my rebellion against my parents. I just wanted to show them that I was no longer their harmless sweet little Rissa they'd leave for weeks and months alone in this stupid house.Mykel kept acting like nothing happened.Like I was crazy.Immediately the car pulled over infront of the house, I opened the door and ran off leaving my bag with Mykel.I raced into my room and locked the door behind me before falling on my butt to cry my eyes out. .......Mykel's pov.......I got to my room and dropped everything I was holding including Rissa's bag.I hope she doesn't hurt herself after what happened.
........Rissa's pov.......My Mykel is alive. He was awake, weak eyes by at least he was breathing and all bandaged.A tear slid from my cheek as he dropped his head sideways to we my face.I skimmed past the nurse and ran to him. With trembling arms and wobbly knees. I held his hand pathetically staring at him."They told me you wouldn't make it and that you had given up. I knew it's not possible..." I said exuberantly.He stared at me blankly like he couldn't understand what I had been saying."Why are you looking at me like that? Have you lost your memory??" I asked wide eyed and he chuckled."Rissa...I was shot on my chest not my head" He winced and I smiled warmly at him.The three nurses clustered behind me gazing at us. Mom and dad were at the door watching.
.........Rissa's pov......He shook his head slowly like he was about to drop a bad news concerning Mykel."Well...unfortunately, i can't disclose what's wrong with him. He's really in a bad condition and we are yet to get through with him" He replied and I sucked in some air.He'll be fine, I'm sure."Although, I fear he won't make it, my dear" He added and my eyes flared in astonishment."Why do you say such??" I rasped as my ears perked up."He's loosing his breath. There's no doubt he's gonna give up soon. And there's nothing we can do about it. We'll just have to accept that the bullet tore him in half.." He informed and mom gasped.I slumped ruefully back on the bench hearing mom sob quietly. I was thrown speechless with what we had just uncovered about his health.He really wants to leave me, doesn't he?
........Rissa's pov......Fear hit me like icy water as Mykel was taken from me. My hands and dress was covered In blood and mom kept dragging me away while I tried holding on persistently.They're taking him away. To the emergency room of course but I still felt like a part of me was been ripped off despite my protests.He wasn't breathing! An alarm rang in my mind.My Mykel wasn't breathing when we arrived.Worry snaked through me as mom sat me down on a bench forcefully.I was barely able to breath with hot tears gathering beneath my eyeballs."Rissa! Look at you. You're covered in blood. What on earth are you doing in Korea???" She fired tapping her hands ruefully on the bench.She had gone on her knees in order for her to see my face since I was gawking at the floor."Mom---" I whispered, disintegrated."Whatever
.........Alex's pov......"So, this is the best you can do?" I asked coyly staring at Lucas as he poured me a glass of wine.He paused and glanced at me."No..." He whispered like he was short of words."You know what? Just take me home" I muttered and he flinched."Oh, come on, Alex. I'm doing all I can to show you that this feelings are not weak. They're strong and it's driving me crazy. I just want to be yours and you'd be mine" He said softly and I sighed."I've never had a boyfriend before, I don't...I don't know what to expect. I want to avoid the problems, Lucas. If the relationship is gonna be toxic or I rather be on my own..." I explained gently."I don't know the best way to show it Alex and I wish I did... But don't leave me hanging, please" He pleaded with a helpless look.I want him too but I don't want to give him the
..........Leah's pov..........I panicked fervently as they started making phone calls.There's no doubt, I'm right!."Edward! There are spies out there. We need to leave this place!" I rasped, perplexed."What are you talking about? I didn't tell anyone we were coming to Korea so how is a plot possible???" He hooted."Will you stop protesting and move this car?!! Don't tell me, you don't value your life!" I blasted and he jerked away from his seat that he was leaning on. The moment he tried getting to the front seat, the men rushed towards us and had us surrounded.The door flung open and one of them raised his shirt coyly for us to see the gun there.It meant two things - don't panic and comply... ........Rissa's pov.......I ran after him as fast as my legs could go. I won't let him leave this place without me. I need to
.........Alex's pov........My eyes fluttered open due to the pecking noise I heard on the window glass. I left the bed moving feebly to it.Most times, I get sensitive while sleeping so I can't go back to bed with so much pecking going on.I pulled the window handles and found a little white bird there with a wrapped note attached to it.Aww! So cute and lovely.I carefully slipped out the note and read through it. This is from Lucas...A good morning message.I smiled.He's got a surprise for me too.What in the world could Lucas possibly give me in order for me to like him back? ........Rissa's pov.......He dropped the bottle on the table and took slow steps towards me."Good morning. I don't know about you but I...I couldn't sleep" He mumbled leaning against the table. 
........Rissa's pov.......I looked up and spotted Mykel staring at me. He squirmed out of the bed and took slow steps towards me.When he had gotten close enough, he gently took the gun from me and stepped away."Mykel?" I called stopping him from moving further.I'm sure he knows how absurd this is - to find a gun In his drawer, next to his bed. Is he protecting himself against someone??"How did you get that?" I asked rubbing my hands together. The nervousness I felt was eating me alive."I got it from Mr Frosh. Birthday gift" He mumbled and tossed the gun on the bed.He turned around and sat next to it staring at me."You need It for your work, don't you?" I asked wryly and he let out a soft smile."Come sit down first, there's something I need to clear out..." He beckoned and I ambled towards him.I dropped next to him and I was moved
........Alex's pov........I was on the bed next to mom who had just told me a story she read while I was away. I was starting to get sleepy since it was past my bedtime."...you should see what the doctor did to him. It was so bold and realistic" She remarked cheerfully."I'm glad you enjoyed the book, mom. I've never seen such an avid reader like you are" I chipped and she smiled."That's so sweet. I'll go join your father now. See you tomorrow, Alexandra" She whispered and kissed my forehead.She left the bed and walked out from the room.I smiled and snuggled under the thick duvet.Shoot! I forgot to tell mom about getting my graduation dress - I guess that'll be tomorrow.My phone started ringing shortly and I picked it up without glancing at the screen."Hey, Alex" Lucas said breezily and I heaved a deep sigh of
.......Rissa's pov........Mykel just stood still listening to the man speak. He really didn't say a word till he was done and walked away.Immediately he left, Mykel took my hand and started leading me out of the cinema.He looked a bit tensed up and just wanted to get out of the premises.We got to his car and entered quickly. I was still struggling with my seatbelt when he started the car and zoomed off."Is everything alright?" I asked staring at him."Yes...let's just get home first and do something fun, okay?" He asked and placed a quick kiss on my cheek.I chuckled and leaned back on the car.He's keeping a lot from me, I could feel It right from when he showed up at the auditorium yesterday for my graduation.He just won't say It unless I bugged him."Who's Mr Frosh?" I asked after a short silence and he glanced at me
