"That's a lie! You pushed her into the ocean," Leticia shouted as Mr. Golfray hit the table with his palms making a slight thud as he silenced Leticia.

"Mr. Golfray I'm pretty sure my daughter can't do such a ridiculous act throwing someone off the ship," Jenny's mum said as I stared at the wealthy class lady who was dressed in a short gown that reached her knee with pieces of jewelry that glorified her neck and hands.

"Like mother, like daughter," Leticia scoffed while Mr. Golfray faced her taking off his glasses.

"Miss. Casey, I would want you to be of your best behavior," Mr. Golfray said before facing Jenny and her mum.

"If you don't mind, I would like Jenny to explain what happened," Her mum said turning to her witch-like daughter.

Jenny sniffed, wiping her eyes and nose with her palms as she cleared her throat.

"Camilla and I had some issues," She start

    The siren sound of the ambulance made spooky emotions in me as I held my mum's hand and watched her struggling to cough with the oxygen covering her nose and mouth. I cried silently watching her in this state, my heart drenched in fear as I tried to stop myself from thinking she's dying and nothing will happen to her. In no time we got to the General hospital and I watched my mum being wheeled out on the sick bed from the ambulance bus by the nurses into the hospital. I muffled my sobs, clamping my palms over my mouth as I felt my face soaked with tears. I ran behind them and they turned in another direction in the hospital as I tried to follow them. "You can't go in," one of the male nurses said stopping me from getting into the emergency room as I stared at him in dismay. I saw the doctors striding in as they put on their hand gloves and I sighe

    LUCAS POV.***The door opened as my gaze met with hers, my heart sank seeing in her this state. She looked so weak and pale...Her face was invaded with dark circles that formed a sac beneath her eyes and her brown and gold hair was so messy and tattered, I took in more of her features and realized she had lost weight even in that cotton shirt dress she was wearing that reached her mid-thigh.My heart crunched painfully while I stared at her.Her eyes widened with shock as she took her time staring at me, I knew she wasn't expecting me to be in front of her but I couldn't control myself.I needed to see her even though it's just a glimpse well I've gone too far though, and now I'm standing in front of her.The past week has been so unbearable for me.

Mum wouldn't be happy to see me shut me from the world. I needed to be strong, just as she made me promise her to.I sighed taking in my features in the mirror, I had lost weight a bit because I thought it was best to starve myself to death and meet my mum.A tear slipped down my face and I exhaled out wondering when the tears would ever end.I took a close look at myself and noticed the awkward dark circles beneath my eyes.I had been having terrible nightmares that made it unbearable for me to sleep.

I called in the silent house as I closed the door behind me dropping my bag on the floor.'She can't be back from work yet,' I thought staring at the old wall clock hanging on the wall that just strike 4 O'clock.The house seemed so silent that I could hear the sound of my pumping heart drum wildly against my chest.My palms were sweaty and I could feel heat radiate all through my body as my throat we

    I rolled to the side of the soft bed as my eyes flung open suddenly remembering the fact I was in my bully's home and his room precisely.I managed to sleep soundly without having any nightmares because Lucas stubbornly slept next to me yesternight and I don't know if he was the one who drove them away.I was getting nervous for getting so calm and warm each time he wraps his arm around me instead of the normal aghast feelings I usually had towards him each time he torments me.I sat up immediately on the bed as I thought of escaping the room. I needed to go back home and face my fears I can't stay here with him, I turned to the side and placed my leg quitely on the floor.I pressed my hands on the bed as gently as I can to support myself while I glanced back quickly to make sure Lucas was still sleeping, then stood up without spoiling my plans.'Seriously being an escapee is not

Let go, we'll be late to school," I grumbled against him.

    LUCAS'S POV.I watched Camilla tiptoe on the rink and prepared the precise skating position I told her to keep. We both went out ice skating in one of the popular Ice rinks in America and today was boxing day.My mum had left saying she would return and make things right, I couldn't bring myself to just forgive her yet because of all what I went through as a little boy and the worst thing was that She and Dad had been together for almost a year and he kept it from me all this while.Camilla's feet were at hip distance and her arms were in front of her, then she squatted slightly, just enough to find her balance.Little kids waved at her as they skated around her giggling at her, I still find it amusing when she told she didn't know how to skate.She bent her knees and looked down, probably afraid she wouldn't fall. Her shoulders were forward and she allowed herself to hold

    "Merry Christmas!" Beatrice chirped as she walked into the dining room with some pack of gifts in her hands, followed by Leticia."You're here already!" I gasped looking up from where I was busy with some decorations on the Christmas tree as I squatted... Lucas's father decided on having a little Christmas party among his family and friends... So, I invited Beatrice and Leticia to tag along."Yeah!" Beatrice smirked as she looked around the dining... I think she must be impressed with red, green, and white decorations."You two look so beautiful," I complimented acknowledging their straight glittering gown with spaghetti arms and slit from the thigh, Beatrice's gown was a shade blackish-red while Leticia's was blackish blue."Thank you!" The both of them chirped.They looked so elegant.I haven't put on my cloth since I was so busy with decorations because we

    Days and weeks rolled by and I was happy that we finally finished this term exam. Christmas was fast approaching and today being so cold, I and Lucas walked into the city with our hands clasped together.Putting on a thick coat with scarfs wrapped around our necks we walked among the crowds.New York is such a lively place to be as we strolled along the High line and down to soho where we had a local meal at Miss Lilly's.We talked and laughed walking hand in hand after leaving Miss Lilly's restaurant.We kept on walking gazing at the malls and shops already decorated in preparation for Christmas.Kids ran in the street happily with balloons in their hands or a stick of sweet."Is your legs weary?" Lucas asked as we strutted the street."Nope!" I smiled wrapping my booth hands around his left arm, clinging to him as he brought his right t

    I was in the library trying to look for a new amplified biology textbook... Lucas was sitting at the corner of the library waiting for me.We just had finished two papers not so long and I wanted to get the textbook, so he and I could study together.I was trailing my fingers on the books arranged neatly on the shelves.'Where's this textbook?' I thought annoyingly remembering quite well, I saw it at this particular spot I was searching for."Show yourself!" I muttered squatting to check the books arranged below the shelf."Hahaha! Gotcha!" I smiled at last feeling relieved I'd seen the book I was looking for sinceI heard steps behind and I stood up turning around to see who it was.The textbook in my hands fell as I began shaking visibly... Taking my steps back."Damien!" I muttered, he still had bandages wrapped ar

    "Hmmm!" I mumbled incoherently as I turned to the side of the bed and stretched my hand.My hand hit something hard as I patted it lightly before shooting my eyes open to see Lucas staring at me with a bright smile on his face while my hand was on his chest."Good morning sunshine," He greeted Leaning closer to me as he kissed my lips dearly."Good morning" I smiled snuggling closer to him as I pressed my head on his chest.He patted my hair as we both entangled our hands together with the duvet covering our naked bodies.Memories of yesterday came flashing into my head and I couldn't help but grin crazily.That is something I would never forget in my life... I loved every aspect of how he handled my body like I was some sort of Goddess.This wasn't any sex but lovemaking."How do you feel about yesterday?" He asked s
