He's so dead. When he finally looked up, I glared at him but he raised one eyebrow at me, as if daring me to say something. How dare he? I grinned when an idea crossed my mind. Hmmm! Seems like it's gonna work out.
"Oh, it was really great. I enjoyed a lot too but Max didn't let me buy more clothes and he didn't even carry my bags." I mumbled quietly and looked down as if feeling so down.
I could feel Max's eyes fixed intently on me and I squirmed in my seat before looking up
"W-What?" I stuttered and gulped hard, trying to keep my calm and acting as if I wasn't afraid of him right now but I couldn't avoid my heart which was hurtling like an express train.Freak! What do I do now? I looked around frantically, trying to find a way to distract him but I couldn't even think straight right now."What's wrong,Shelly?” he asked, saying my name with distaste.
Where did he go? He just walked out. He couldn't have just vanished like that. I rushed upstairs to check if he was in his room but in vain. He wasn't there.I frowned but then sprinted back downstairs. I flew opened the main door and sure enough, a dark figure was walking down the road. Is that Max? Without hesitating, I ran after him."Max", I yelled but he did not even stop. Maybe he didn't hear me but I practically screamed at the top of my lungs then how could he not hea
He's the only one who I needed right now. "Max!" I exclaimed happily throwing my arms around Max's neck but then I started sobbing uncontrollably, squeezing him tightly. I could have died if he didn't come to my rescue.
The man's arms tightened around my waist and I know I would surely feel the stinking pain if he made a slightest move with the knife but the pain never came. I opened my eyes to see Max looking around confusedly.What's wrong? I wondered and tried to look around too but I didn't dare when the man pressed the knife even more. I gasped? I could feel tears trickle down my eyes.I couldn't breathe now. He wasn't letting me breathe. I started choking. God!
I froze and stared at Alex with wide eyes. What the freaking hell?"Shelly, watch out!" Alex shouted and I leaped out of his way. What was happening? This better be some nightmare. Please god! I want to wake up from this horrible dream. This better be some nightmare. This better be some nightmare. This better be some nightmare. This better be so -"Ah", I screamed when someone caught me, breaking me from my trance.
"Wait!" Max called out again. I turned around and looked at him, my hands hovering on the door knob."What?" I asked and crossed my hands behind my back to try and warm myself a little bit."Just keepthisa secret!" he said but he seemed a bit unsure about it."But I -
I woke up the next day to the sound of my phone going off like crazy. Yawning, I did my usual stretch and winced as the memories of last night came rushing in my head. I barely wanted to move, let alone get my lazy ass out of my well comfy bed but I have school today and I know better than to try and skip.Anyway, who the hell is calling me at this time? It was six o'clock in the morning for god sake. Damn! I think it wouldn't shut up until I take the call. I just have to reply back. Yeah right. I reached for my phone on the side table.
I dragged myself out of bed and walked into my closet. On my way to the bathroom, I grabbed a white towel and shrugged my shirt off, leaving my chest bare. I brushed my teeth as fast as possible and hopped into the shower. As I turned on the water and let the hot steam surround me, I started humming 'Love yourself' by Justin Bieber. I pretended like I was some international pop star as I danced around in the shower, throwing water here and there."Nice moves you got there, babe." his voice boomed as he walked into my bathroom like he owned the place. What the hell?
Shelly’s point of view; I slowly opened my eyes and found myself lying on the floor. My head somehow aches. I was just about to get up but I couldn't. It was then that I realized that my hands and feet were tied up with ropes. I pushed myself up and leaned my back against the cold wall. I looked around but could barely see anything. It was dark and only the beam of the moon penetrating through the window served as my light from where I was.
I looked past my right shoulder and frowned. No way! I did hear someone approaching. I'm hundred percent sure that someone has been following me since I left school. I turned back around and quickened my pace. I gulped hard and speedily walked while skipping once in a while to get away.Why? Just why did I have to stay back at school to revise for my upcoming exams? Why? It's so dark out here and that stupid Max did not even come to fetch me. He left me alone to fend for myself and who was making big big talks about protecting me. Protection, my foot! I mean, who even needs protection? I'm fine by myself, yeah right. See, I'm even wandering around i
"I'm home!" someone screamed and then boom.Is that my bedroom door? Whatever!I groaned while wondering lazily and continued on dozing off, like a retarded person. I snuggled more in my bed sheets, hugging my little cushions tightly. This is heaven. I was too tired, groggy and sleepy to turn around to look at the person who decided that disrupting my beauty sleep was such a good idea. I sighed softly in my pillow and fidgeted a little bit to get a better position. I was spra
"So?" Max smirked at me once the movie was over."So, what?" I looked at him wearily while he leaned down to kiss me."Stop it." I giggled and pushed him away.If you're wondering what is happening right now, let me just fill you in about what we've done for the last few hours. After deciding that we r
I loosened my arms from around his neck and pulled apart but he embraced me once again, this hug lasting even longer than the first one."Max? What's wrong?" I asked him softly.He only tightened the hug in response and exhaled slowly while keeping his chin on top of my left shoulder. I leaned more into him, feeling the need to comfort him all of a sudden. I pressed the side of my face to his and sighed in relief. It feels great, being held in his arms like that. I wish I cou
"What the hell was that, Max?" I whisper yelled as soon as I got into my bedroom.I threw my school bag on the bed and twisted around to face Max. He had a forlorn look on his face while he shook his head negatively at me. When I raised an eyebrow questioningly at him, he sighed dejectedly and looked down.Feeling my temper rising, I stomped towards him, my two hands clenched tightly by my sides. Max glanced up worriedly when he heard my advancing steps, his eyes widening in
Why am I being such a coward?No, compose yourself, Shelly.I opened my eyes when I heard Blake snorting in disbelief, almost like he was laughing at me.YouhaveMaxwithyou,Shelly.
I'm really not liking this talk but what can I do?"H-He is my classmate and also my... neighbour?" I explained but it came out sounding more like a question."Okay..." he trailed off slowly while still pondering on whatever he was figuring out in his mind."So, can I go?" I asked while jutting my righ
After giving the police officers a long statement about the incident, I swallowed my fear and walked outside. I squeezed my school bag tightly in my arms and followed the officers towards their cars."Come on, I'll drop you at home." one of the sturdy big officers kindly offered while opening the passenger door for me. Judging by his appearance, he was probably in his early twenties. He was the only one who looked like he could have been in college. Now that I think about it, how can a young guy like him be in charge of such a dangerous case? Well, that's not really my business. I mean like just look at his body. If you would look at him from behind
