‘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
- HAZEL - My heads shoots towards the window and my lips fall slowly ajar as I stare at his mansion through the driveway. It’s been a long ass while since I’ve been here. I nearly forgot how huge this place is. I nearly forgot the comfort this place gave me. The love I received here. It’s all hitt
“I would like you to be quick with that.” Killian murmurs in my ears, his breath hard on the back of my neck. “I’m trying.” I croak back at him. A deep chuckle sends shivers down my spine. “Maybe it’ll be faster if it’s not upside down.” My face drops as I hear that. No wonder it didn’t go i
- ASAMI - The ear scarping noise as my dagger scribbles something on a metal board leaves me running mad but I’m not stopping. The scratches on the board tell an undeniable tale of suffering but it’s an object after all, I’ve had to feel this turmoil on my own skin before. I’m clutched on a chair
- KILLIAN - She’s staying in a different room. Normally I wouldn’t be this bothered if I didn’t want her to stay with me in my room. When last has it been since I actually held her in my arms? When last has it been since I had her here with me, peacefully laying by my side on my bed? The highlight
She doesn’t consider me a problem. Ouch. Bless her confident heart. “Is there someone after me?” Leaves her mouth. “Am I really unsafe in my dorm or was this a ploy to get me within your vicinity?” I take another step forward. The closer I am to her, the harder it is to not look at her in every
- HAZEL - I have a grumpy face on. I woke up with it. Showered with it and even dressed up with it. Thanks to Killian, my chin hurts but he sure as hell put me in my place last night. Right exactly where I needed to be. It was needed but I guess I didn’t realise how much needed it was. I guess I n
- HAZEL - I felt a rupture like I have damaged my ribs only to find out that it was just the shock of the event that put my mind in a hypnotic state of shock. I’m still trying to grasp what is happening but the ear bleeding sound caused by the continuous shooting of guns keeps halting my ability to
“Professor.” Chimes from the entrance as the subtle sounds of footsteps slid into my ears. Thinking of the devil. “Student.” I say, returning the gesture. Although this woman lives with me in the same house, I can never get tired of staring at her. Of being with her, of enjoying her presence. She
- ASAMI - I have an entire squad here with me. Arranged in a row by row formation are the people who will do my dirty work for me. Oh, what a wonderful day today is. What an interesting one it will be. A half grin forms on my lips. If a girl can’t have what she wants, she might as well pay for it
- HAZEL - “We can’t see each other anymore, at least, not as much.” I say, standing before him in his school office. The door is wide open for obvious reasons. I have to be very cautious especially when I stay at his place, that alone is the riskiest thing yet but I will not discard the reason I ca
I look back ahead. Hazel is still in there. “What does this have to do with what I’m looking at?” I ask. Anger suddenly brews within me but I’m careful not to make a drastic movement. If this lady is insinuating what I think she is, then I’d risk getting temporarily paralysed to give her a resoundin
“Stop panting too hard, Kate. I know you. And you know me.” My heart stopped beating for a second. It was almost as if I forgot to breathe and some sense was knocked into me. Who is this person? Who could it possibly be? The voice doesn’t ring a bell at all. I move my feet in an attempt to turn. “
- KATE - It’s Monday. I’m at the school premises, checking for the halls I’d be taking all my exams at as well as the exam table. On a normal day, I’d get the information online, on the school student website but I needed to keep myself busy physically. There hasn’t been any or much of lectures the
“What can I say? Certain people tend to respond to discipline way faster than kindness.” This makes me squint and stick my lower lip out more as I pout. I’ll choose to ignore that. Mainly because the hour is a good one. I sigh, returning my face to the sky. There are no clouds blocking the moon
- HAZEL - I’m standing out the balcony upstairs, staring into the night sky. It’s cold out here and although my skin is plagued with goosebumps, I didn’t budge nor go back inside. I’m just out here, letting the cold dissolve into my skin while deep in thought. The stars are beautiful tonight. It’s
