Chapter 61
I put on my hoodie and sling my backpack on one shoulder before stepping out of the room. I glanced from left to right before tiptoeing out of the house. Once I was outside, I took in a deep breath of the fresh air and walked into the dead of the night with my head lowered.
I had a once over at Damon's house before I moved and made my way into a taxi. I pulled out my phone and texted Melanie, asking her for the address of Mr Robert. She gave me after asking what I wanted to use it for a hundred times.
**************
I was in front of what seemed to be like a mansion. The lights were still on, but it was pretty hard to see what was inside because of the blind folds. I waited outside behind a shrub, thinking of how to get into his
Part one Dedicated to my late parents, Mr. and Mrs. Godwin Alfa. ~~**~~ Listen to life for rent by Dido. ~~**~~I walked through my mother's room door without knocking and regretted it immediately. I gaped at the disgusting sight in front of me."What is going on here?" I asked in incredulity, while my brows bumped together into a scowl. "Out!" Mother yelled.After shutting the door, I pivoted out of the house on my heels and took off. I bent and rested my hands on my knees to catch my breath when I realized I was far from home, away from mother. Standing upright, I shoved my hands into my pocket and plodded down the streets of Canada. People were everywhere, making my skin creep. I disliked being seen by people, but I just needed to clear my head. I heard nature helps to clear the mind so here I am nature, help me! I boarded a bus and decided to stop at my favorite ice cream shop named desert blast. "What can
Listen to seventeen by Alessia Cara."Hi, Melanie." Sophia smiled at my best friend and ignored me like I was invisible or she was too blind to see me.I go with she was too blind."What are you doing with this weirdo?" Irritation laced Sophia's voice, while she eyed me like I was some disgusting bag of shit. "You shouldn't be seen with losers like this."Anger boiled in the pit of my stomach and I yearned for my fist to make contact with her face."Watch it! She's not a weirdo, she's my best friend." Melanie fired back and I mentally gave her a pat on the back."What ever. There's still a spot for you if you wanna join the yums." She rolled her baby doll eyes. "Do you mind explaining the maths Mr Murray taught us today?"The yums, the stupidest crew name I've ever heard. The yuks sounded better because they were nothing, but a bunch of jerks who liked to see other people sad.Melanie glanced at m
Quotes.....Stay exclusive, don't be everywhere, don't involve yourself with just anyone. Leave a little mystery to your life.*******************"I've warned you never to lay your hands on her." My dad dropped his black suitcase on the floor and glared at my mother.I looked at my dad and back at my mum who seemed like she was about to blow up."What's going on here?" He asked."It's this disrespectful thing you call your daughter!" Bellowed mother. she took a spoon to hit me, but my dad held her from behind."Why mother, Why?" I asked in tears. "What did I ever do to you?" I asked with a shaky voice."You are so dark, weird and disrespectful," She said through gritted teeth."You better tell him." I whispered and widened my eyes. She stopped like she was giving what I said a long thought.&nbs
Quotes...Pablo Neruda said, some day, somewhere, anywhere, unfailing, you'll find yourself and that, and only that can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life.****************I tried to wriggle my wrist out of his grip, but I couldn't."What are you doing here sweet face?" He asked.Sweet face?"Number one, last time I checked, my name is Nicole and not sweet face." I finally snatched my hand from his grip."Secondly, this is my house. I have the right to be anywhere." I spat and rubbed my wrist.I hated it whenever some one called me names like sweet face or cutie, they suck and make me want to barf.He was mute, but raked my body with his eyes in this seductive way that was creeping me out. He rubbed his chin and licked his lips. He rose to his feet and it felt like I was standing beside a tower.Damn!
Life isn't a bowl of cherries. It's no longer a secret if a second party knows."You twat, your mother is a whore." She abused. "I need to protect my boyfriend before she gets her tits all over his face with her legs in the air." She demonstrated in her short Jean skirt that showed her beautiful legs."That makes her a bitch right? Making you a bitchling, if there's anything like that." She added, her minions guffawed and sounded like hyenas to me.I wish I could yank her hair out of her skull."You're just going to be like her." She said, making me to clench my fist and I remembered when I told Melanie about my mum weeks back.Oh my God! Melanie was a traitor, how could she? After how much I trusted her.Sophia slapped my books to the ground and walked out with her girls. I bent to pick them up and saw Melanie bending besi
He walked in. I mean, I could hear his giant steps. "You have a beautiful house," he complimented, making me to roll my eyes.I looked at him with disgust written all over my skin. This man made my skin to creep."Why are you acting like this is the first time of coming into my house?" I questioned, packing my hair in a loose ponytail."Hey, I was just complimenting." He raised his hands up in the air like I was pointing a gun at him."I don't need your fake compliment.""You're one rude, little lady." He shook his head like he was in awe."Don't you have an office to go back to or something?" I questioned with irrita
"My best friend." I whispered. "No, my ex best friend," I swiftly said, swiping a tear off my left cheek. Mr Robert remained silent, but gave me the 'I'm listening, go on' look."She told my secret to the world," I said, looking at him with red, swollen eyes."Oh my, that's intense." He scrunched up his face."She lied," I began. "She lied to be my best friend, lied that she cared. She lied so she could get close to me, get something personal and crush me with it." I sneered."Wait, isn't Melanie your best friend?" He asked with confusion written all over his face."My ex best friend." I corrected."Hey, slow down tigress." He gave me a foxy smile. Does he not know when to smile and when not to smile? He's been squatting there for, lord knows how long. He should be sore by now."Isn't she the nice girl that came visiting the day you
"Euw!" I exclaimed. "No, not in my room," I said. They both chuckled. Mother's phone rang out loud, causing her to excuse herself out of my room.My father sat beside me, but his happy face was gone. "How are you princess?" He asked, sounding worried."I could really go for a big, warm daddy's hug now," I said, shutting my eyes. Father drew me in for a warm hug. It made me feel so safe, so comfortable that I didn't want to pull out. I held him tight like it was going to be our last hug."What's wrong baby? You're making me worried," he said, while he rested his jaw on my head.He told me he heard I wasn't in school, but I remained silent. He said he was becoming really worried. He said I could see a therapist if I wanted, but I refused, telling him I

Emmet and I were done conversing with his parents so he led me to where his cousin brother stood, looking all classy. I was sure the song classic man was sang for this guy."Cousin!" The both exclaimed and hugged."Congratulations to you." Emmet beamed, shaking his hand while I stood behind him with my head lowered. "Where's your PYT?""She hates that name now." His cousin answered and they sniggered."Why?""She said she's a pretty young lady and not a pretty young thing.""Where are my manners?" Emmet asked no one in particular and put a hand around my waist. He brought me closer to his side and pl
"Kurt, tell Jane what you did in Berlin!" I yelled at the TV with my head on Emmet's laps, referring to the season three of the movie blind spot that I had coerced Emmet into watching with me."I'm still wondering why I'm watching the season three of a movie that I've never seen it's season one." Emmet shook his head, glueing his eyes to the TV."The reason is love." I chuckled, adjusting my head on his laps. "But it's interesting, isn't it?""Yes, baby." He glanced quickly at me with a small smile on his face before returning his gaze to the TV.I concentrated back on the TV and was slightly irritated that Kurt Weller was keeping the truth from her all in the name of protecting Jane Doe. How I'd come to love this movie so much, I couldn't explain."Would you keep the truth from me if you were in Weller's shoes?" I turned my head to view Emmet's face."I believe it'd come
I stepped into the reception and made my way straight to the girl that stood behind a coffee brown desk with her head lowered and eyes glued to a magazine."Hi, I'm here to see Emmet Asa," I said with a straight face."Do you have an appointment with him?" She interrogated without taking her eyes away from the magazine."No." I chewed the insides of my cheeks.She raised her head and adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose. She squinted her narrow eyes at me and closed her magazine."And you're his-""Girlfriend." I answered before she could finish her question.
This chapter is dedicated to the people in Nicole's shoes, victims of stalking. Please, reach out to some one–report to the police. Get help! Open up and be fought for. Set yourself free from whatever grave danger you might be in. Speak out please before it is too late. I love you all and remember that the universe fights for good people.********************I was itching to be out of the pizza place that my gaze kept wandering around, scouting for the owner of the unknown number that frequently tormented me.I sipped my cup of Coca-Cola every now and then to suit the needs of my dry throat. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead and the pit of my stomach felt sick."What about you Nicole?" Sara asked."Hm?" I snapped my head to Sara's direction."Have you seen the movie, friend request?""Sure." I adjusted on my seat
"I'm okay mom, why?" I chewed on my bottom lip and stared down at Oliver."Damon said you've been acting-""Damon called you?" I interrupted what she was saying with a scowl on my face."Yes, what's wrong baby?""Nothing." I answered dryly, while Oliver took a fistful of my hair and aimed for his mouth."Talk to me baby. Why so scared?" She coughed. "Why are you withdrawing yourself from everyone there?""Mom, I'm fine. You know I'm not the type that socializes." I removed my hair from Oliver's hand and thought about Damon. How could he tell my mother? Since when did he begin to contact her?"Do you need to come home?""Mom, I'm fine." I snapped, obviously irritated. "I'm kind of busy. I'll call you later, bye." I hung up and rolled my eyes.Damon was such a snitch. He didn't have to tell my mother, considering the fact th
It had been a week since the Billie Eilish accident and I hadn't heard anything from that number since then. It just constantly felt like I was being watched.I walked faster into Emmet's house and locked the door, heaving a sigh of relief. This was the only place I felt safe."I missed you." I hugged him and enjoyed his cologne."I missed you more, baby." He kissed my hair and tightened his hold on me.We moved over to the couch and I sat inbetween Emmet's legs to watch this kiss my bestie challenge on tiktok. I couldn't concentrate on it, my mind kept reminding me of dark memories."We should go out." He encircled my waist with both his hands and softly kissed my neck."Why?" My eyes widened, remembering that whoever sent me those text messages was out there. My subconscious asked why I couldn't just tell them what was going on. What if I was in grave danger?
My brows bumped together in a scowl when I saw that Emmet's front door was left ajar.Strange.I slowly walked in and heard a familiar voice of a female complaining about something. I clenched my fist when my brain registered the voice to be Sophia's.I crept to the kitchen doorway and saw Emmet installing his smoke detector with Sophia standing opposite him."Emmet," she pouted. "What does she have that I don't?""Sophia, I can't talk right now. I'm exhausted from work and I'm trying to fix this thing." He stood on a stool and I imagined Sophia pushing him off the stool.No negative thoughts!He fixed the smoke detector and got down from the stool to get a glass of water. She followed him to the sink and unbuttoned the first button of his shirt."Why don't you let me show you how much I care?" She trailed a finger down h
The rain subsided as if the nasty act we carried out calmed it. Emmet adored my entire body with his soft lips, while I just laid and enjoyed the feeling.There was a strong smell that made it's way into my nose, earning a choking cough from me."Are you okay?" Emmet asked, breathing heavily and sitting beside me."Something is burning." I sniffed the air and sat up."Oh no!" We both exclaimed and kicked the duvet off our bodies. Running down the stairs, we reached the kitchen coughing.There was smoke everywhere.I ran to the stove and used my bare hands to bring the kettle down."Ouch!" I wriggled my hands and blew air on my fingers.Emmet turned off the stove and dumped the kettle into the sink–he turned on the tap and let the water cool the kettle off. He hurried to where I was and inspected my hands."Why did yo
