- OWEN - I hum a tune. A familiar one my mother used to sing. Something original and passed down for generations till it got to me according to her. It’s calming yet there’s something violent and murderous about it that makes it so thrilling. I guess that’s the kind of tune that’ll be catchy for
And the lucky ones, like me, made it despite the struggle. In a world where everyone seems to care about each other, when you’re a nobody, you’ll realise that it’s all pretence. People stan being there for one another only when they don’t see you as filthy or a burden. Only when the only kind of fil
With poison. One that wouldn’t be traced even with an autopsy. Once a child crosses a certain level of abuse, it’s hard to want to imagine to go back to it. That’s why I did what I did. How everything else was willed to me however? Is something that’ll be kept to myself no matter what. Till I’m read
- OWEN - “Let’s just say, I needed to speak to you about certain arrangements.” The computer voice chimes. I withdraw my hand holding my phone to my ears steadily and place my phone back on the couch, keeping it on loud speaker. The only being who can infiltrate my mansion any day and any time
- KILLIAN - I tap a pen on my desk, sighing each time it collides with table. The gentle thud it makes eases my nerves. Almost like my zippo does. The open and slam of my door against the wall draws my attention from the pen to the door. “Calling me at random hours is getting old, don’t you t
- HAZEL - A buzz makes my brows crease, stirring the sleepiness out of my eyes. I don’t want to not be asleep. I want to have some rest. It’s the least I can have after such a shitty day; this is me referring to yesterday by the way. The buzz keeps disturbing. I turn to the side, keeping my eyes
‘Don’t scare me like that. . .’ Staring at the text i typed on my keyboard, I bite my lower lip in thought. Is a ‘pick me up at nine’ text better in this case? I don’t know what to respond to reading my life is in danger. My fingers sweep through my hair, pushing it backwards. I’m puffing air out my
- KILLIAN - I just want her near me. I am loosing my mind every single second knowing she’s out there alone. Knowing I was warned by not only Natalie but Liam as well yet I chose to discard it. Knowing I put her in danger. And this time, it’s not simply Asami. S is involved. Owen is involved. A
Her room is girly. Way too girly. All stylised with feminine colours. This makes me chuckle under my breath. Sleeping in a room like this would give me nightmares but I’m pretty sure she gets cotton candy dreams. The irony is funny. “Your room is. . .” I clear my throat, looking for the right word.
- KILLIAN - It was quite easy. Coming over. Not having access to her the whole day got to me. Even while working, it was all I could think about. That’s why I decided to pay her a visit. A surprise one. This morning may not have been everything we hoped for but I know her too well to know that
- HAZEL - I stare out the window, sat on my bed, enjoying the night sky and city lights. A smile forms on my lips as I take a breath of fresh air at the nostalgia. Home. I’ve missed home. It’s non chaotic and less harmful. It’s warm and cosy. Everyone loves me here. Sadness suddenly becomes arde
- KILLIAN - I raise my hand up then bend it so it touches the opposite shoulder. After this, I let my other hand rest on the elbow or my stretched hand and yawn, stretching my body out while standing in the office this whole thing began, the hunt for power and the acquiring of power. I’m at the Iv
- KATE - So his brother is with my best friend, who would’ve thought? I guess even she didn’t know. I doubt I would if I was in her shoes. The odds are quite slim but here we are, getting stronger in our friendship in more ways than one. Never would I have imagined her being with someone like L
- HAZEL - So I’m his girlfriend. I stare timidly at the back of the passenger seat from my sat position in the back seat. I still don’t know how to deal with this information. In reality, I’m with Killian, but to Kate, who I may see a lot due to the fact that I’m on some kind of school holiday a
- KILLIAN - “Your girlfriend? What the fuck, Liam?!” I rage, dragging him inside my bedroom. The women are downstairs, spending time together to bond. “What else did you expect me to do? Let your woman peel the hair off your other one?!” Liam asks, sounding just as distressed as I was. His outw
I gulp, lowering my eyes to the ground. I can’t even call her name. “I-“ I can barely hear my own voice. “Kate I’m sor-“ “I see you two have already met.” A deep voice words from behind causing the two of us to avert our piercing gazes from each other. It’s Liam. Trust me, I am just as confused as
- HAZEL - My wound has been treated. I’ve taken my antibiotics and had a decent light meal so right now, I’m in the shower, brushing my teeth. I’ve already had my bath, I just want to have a fresher breath when I meet with my parents. I turn the sink tap on and cup my hand underneath to form a
