2021-12-01 14:57:55"Don't leave me again." Only a few words from her, yet they were enough to rock my world.
I'm not sure if it's because of the war in my head or if it's just the fact that what I feel for her isn't something as simple as leaving someone in the air. When it comes to Sierra, she makes everything inside of me utterly tricky to understand.
She sat back on the floor and tapped the spot next to her, just as she had done when we first came here. I sighed and proceeded slowly towards her, sitting a bit further away from her.
Sierra was still and quiet, her gaze fixed on the window. I'm sitting here, nervous and unsure of what I want, and I'm wondering why I'm feeling this way. Isn't this what I'm asking for? To see her again after avoiding her for days? But now that she's here, I'm back to my old self, trying to

June 25, 2016 We stayed in the library for an hour and talked about various topics, including our hobbies, favorite subjects, and almost everything in between. But Sierra revealed something about her family that I had not expected her to share; I had kept my lips shut throughout her story, just listening to her. Sierra did not grow up with her biological parents, and she has never met them. Since the day she was born, Sierra had lived with her grandparents, and when she turned 10, she moved back and forth between her different relatives. I never asked Sierra anymore if she had any knowledge of her parents' place or what were the reason why they abandoned her since I could see in her eyes how difficult it was for her when she told her story, even though she didn't go into details. I'm just relieved that she feels comfortable opening out to me. When she said that, all I could do was embrace her while her te

I just nodded at her, still trying to make sense of what I didn't know about Ever. He's a friend of mine, yet he didn't tell me any of this? But how badly I feel about myself is palpable; does Ever no longer trust me enough to share his thoughts and life decisions with me? Or maybe people change so quickly as we progress along different routes. Perhaps I just need to respect and know his boundaries…As she blabbed, she kept looking into my eyes as she opened the door. "And you have to see hisenormous, thick sketchbook. Ever's artworks should be included on the list of things you should see before you die. Even our classmates—"My brow wrinkled as Sierra completely opened the door, and we both came to a halt when we suddenly saw a girl standing just a few steps away from us. When my eyes flew to the girl's hand, I realized she was clutching a

September 01, 2021 I spent two hours driving back from Sorella City to Camden Town because of excessive traffic. Whenever I think of the email I received from an anonymous person claiming to be Sierra's killer, I'm overcome with a rush of adrenaline that causes my brow to drip with sweat and my heart to thump fast. I didn't hesitate to risk my life once again for Sierra, and I repeated under my breath multiple times that if I see that fucktard again, I'm going to murder him. When I finally arrived at this place, I opened and kicked the door of my car frantically. Even though it's been years since my last visit, my feelings for this place are the same as they were then. By the time twilight arrives at 5:30, I'll be ready to shoot his fucking face. It was already 5 PM when I checked my wristwatch. I'm not sure why I didn't stop in front of the Meadow Woods Library, but there was a part of me that wondered if it had been demolished or something a long time ago. Perhaps

"What do you think? I didn't know you knew about this place since you never informed me—and you never told me you now have a gun." He paused and snapped his fingers, causing me to flinch. "Oh, I should never forget that you are also skilled at leaving things behind, which is probably why you never told me about this and that—maybe they aren't significant enough to tell someone." He spits back and holds his handkerchief between his both hands as he stares at me solemnly.I averted my gaze and sighed. I dragged the thrashing wooden chair at the far end of the room as I looked around the library. It's just a few books left on the shelf, and they've all been infested by termites, along with practically every other wooden element in the room. Various scribbles and doodles have ruined the photographs that made my jaw tighten in annoyance. Although I didn't mind if those people found out about our pla

July 01, 2016We're in the theater room, where students from various strands of the twelfth grade will watch films created by each section of the Arts and Designs strand. Sierra informed me that their movie would compete with other sections of the same genre as theirs, and the winner will receive an award for the best film and, of course, will give them high credits that can help them in college. Their film's theme is romance, and Sierra is one of the key stars as well as one of the people that covered a song for their background music, which she just told me earlier this morning that I didn't have much time to react and congratulate her for having the lead part when the bell suddenly rang and the teachers lead as to the theater room.Sierra and I only had a little time to spend together during the weekdays and even on weekends following that confession because

July 04, 2016"Did something happen that you didn't attend church yesterday?" Sierra began our conversation when she banged on the door of her locker. I leaned against the locker next to her, watching her every move. It's only our second class; we didn't meet earlier since I was late. I dozed and didn't see my alarm clock buzzing; if it hadn't been for Mildred, I'm not sure I'd be here."Nah, I just had to do some of my activities that I forgot to accomplish," I said with a wide grin. I took the books from Sierra's hands without asking, and we strolled along the corridor, where everyone was whispering at each other and staring at us—mostly at Sierra. I believe they're referring to her since the crowd is buzzing about their film, which premiered last Friday."Really? I thought Archer Leviticus was such a nerd."

September 07, 2021"I spotted you and your new girl in that hidden library, and you seemed to be having a serious conversation, so I didn't bother going in. But maybe tomorrow? No, not at all. I've changed my mind, Archer; I don't want to meet up anymore, and I can't promise anything either. You know what I mean."I stared at the letter flashing on my computer screen, reading and remembering every word from the username @iamthepersonwhokilled.sierra's alias. I'm not sure why his final letter kept playing with my head. He gave me this letter when I returned home after driving Kinsey to her condo, and that was the last time I heard from him after he ditched me in the library. Or maybe he was telling the truth and had been watching me talk to Kinsey the whole time. But what caused him to change his mind so abruptly? The longer I stare at his letter; the m

July 07, 2016"I can promise you that she looks considerably better today than she was before. She gets to our courses on time and no longer bothers me as she used to. She kind of respects our boundaries with each other; if I told her I needed to do something, she'd let me and never complain afterward." Sierra raised her hands and gave me thumbs up to reassure me about Maevis' acts and how Maevis treats her. "Also, Ms. Perez, our homeroom teacher, constantly observes her, and the school's psychologist counsels her daily." I gave her a hesitant smile and shrugged in response to her replies.It's break time, and we're enjoying yogurt in the school's garden. Some students are chilling here who don't make loud noises, so we decided the garden would be a good place to sit and talk. We're sitting on a bench in the middle of a field of daisies. Maevis has returned aft

"Where are we going?!" When the light from the lamp post crossed his eyes, I noticed how dark and horrible they were. I attempted to yank Archer's hand away from me, but he became quite violent."You fucking lied to me! And if you can't love me back, I'm going to get rid of you instead " There was no other man, no stalker, and a man with a face mask. It was just Archer and me. But before that happened, I called Emmy to the Meadowoods Library before Archer ever got close to me. When I asked for help for the third time, I told her that I would go with her since there's someone who's threatening to kill me. Of course, she was concerned.I had the entire plan written down before Archer did. But it was never my intent to drag Amalia under her grave."Calm down, Archer; we can talk this through." He was practically twisting my hands and tried to shove me inside his car while I was in pain. But I needed to buy some time because Amalia hadn't arrived yet."Why should we talk

Everyone in Camden Town knows practically everyone else, including the famous Mayor and his family. As I already stated, I did a great deal of reading and pondering before heading to that location. As a person who grew up in a bizarre and aberrant environment, everything must have a reason, or else your existence will be meaningless. My intention to kill myself was pure when I drowned myself, but after I was awakened, I gradually wanted to restart my life because of Jade and Everson, but my flesh was telling me that living a simple life was never for me. I knew Everson was friends with Archer; while I was going around Camden, I would see them together, and there was a whisper in my ear instructing me to do what I wanted to do. And it was to get close to Archer Leviticus. When I thought about him, I told myself that I needed to see a psychiatrist again since everything about me isn't normal anymore. I want to be good, but I also want to be bad. I started hatin

"Thank God, you're awake!" Jade pulled me back to life when I thought I had sunk to numbness. It was a terrible heartache, and I felt like Jade smashed my dream. I was already so close to dying. I was so enraged by her but something unusual happened to me that day when I witnessed a single tear fall from Jade's eyes. It was as if something struck my heart; it was the first time in years that I thought someone truly cared about me. And the fact that she was a complete stranger made me appreciate her even more. Someone risked her life to save a piece of garbage like me while I was alone in the vastness of the water. That day, I couldn't decide whether to be glad that He had kept me alive or angry because I knew that once I was living, something awful would happen in my life again. But now I already know the answer. Being alive is cruel to me. I didn't deserve to have a second life. It took me a week to finally respond to Jade becau

"She left us." I placed my hand on Amalia's shoulder to stop her from walking. "Let's just face it." I told her once again, and when Amalia eventually stopped, I closed my eyes in relief. She turned to face me, her eyes and entire face scarlet from crying. She knelt on her knees and cried even more, panting for breath. "Let's just say she's in good hands now—" "You can't rest assured! Allison, she's just thirteen!" She yelled at me. I looked around and noticed others stopping to stare in astonishment at us. I knelt down, took her hand, and pulled her up, but she quickly swayed my hands away from her. "How can you be so calm? Our sister has gone missing!" She yelled at me again, looking at me in utter disbelief. It had been a year; one day we woke up, Luisa was gone. I knew it would happen soon because Luisa kept talking about asking for help and what may have occurred to us only if we had gone with our sisters. So, I had the feeling th

"I fucking despise myself!" Amalia sobbed and smacked her head. I took a nervous breath and bit my bottom lip before taking Amalia's hand in mine and embraced her. She sobbed, burying her head in my arms to avoid looking at our sisters, who were being taken by the cops. While Luisa was sitting on the ground hugging her knees avoiding looking at our sisters. I watched them from a distance, hiding behind trees, as they were perplexed and puzzled of what was happening, their eyes wandering around, attempting to find us everywhere while they sobbed. We didn't have a choice but to leave them or turn them over; we didn't have the money to feed them any longer, and we all knew that keeping our younger sisters in our care wouldn't get us anywhere. The proprietor of the previous motel we were in was starting to get suspicious of us, first, we were just a bunch of kids, and he was perplexed as to why we only stayed in a room with one bedroom, and he probably also

Carrie was right the entire time because as I grew older, I learned that mama was more than just the mother figure we all want. She wasn't ordinary; she was above and beyond everyone else. She was observant and had finesse, and she knew how to bend straight lines without getting caught. She knew everything about evil, and she also taught me everything. Like Allison, I took Carrie's advice to gain Mama's trust. It wasn't easy, as she had warned me. I didn't know where to begin since whenever I approached Mama, all I could feel was nervousness, and she was always mad and strict with me. Facing her was like facing Satan himself. And what's worse was I had forgotten that I had once been Allison, and I had simply forgotten how to be like her. Allison, as I recall, was a crybaby who was always afraid but yet did things she was afraid of anyhow. But, as time went by, I grew accustomed to lying and became a professional, just like my mother. I felt like I had inherit

"Why are you crying? You should be happy that mama didn't punish you," Carrie said as she rubbed Allison's shoulder, prompting Allison to glance up at her sister. Carrie was eighteen years old and could live on her own, but their "mama" would never allow her or any of them. Allison sniffed and brushed her tears away, but they still wouldn't stop falling. Her eyes suddenly fell on Carrie's bruises on her bare arms and legs; she had received them just weeks ago when she attempted to flee and seek help from authorities. She was their mama's most trusted child, not just because she was the oldest, but also because she was the best at lying, but now she was just another piece of trash that their mama hid under the basement. "I simply didn't like what I did to Nathalia and her mother," Allison said as she shook her head and sobbed again. Their mother always told them not to cry because it only makes people weak, but Allison was only seven years old and couldn't kee

"Mama, I think what we're doing is wrong." Allison muttered as she looked at her mother, who was putting on her earrings while checking herself in the mirror. Allison's heartbeat raced faster as her mother stopped what she was doin; she already knew her mother was going to chastise her, one of her mother's dislikes are them talking back at her or being against or questioning her actions. She embraced the doll that Nathalia gave her, because she finds comfort in it whenever she is afraid, which she is all the time. Dahlia's mother was dressed in a black long-sleeved dress, scarlet stilettos, and her hair was carefully done into a bun. Her lips were as red as blood, and she was really going for a stunning look since she was going out to dinner with Grace's wealthy friends. Dahlia would never say no to Grace's invitation to an expensive dinner. Dahlia has been acting as Grace's friend for two weeks now. She couldn't help but giggle inside her head at

"Oh my god, thank you so much! This is the finest gift I have ever received in my life! I really love it!" Exclaimed Dahlia, Susie's mother, as she gazed at the embroidered hoop of flowers Grace had made for her. "Oh my! My ears would be clapping," Grace sheepishly said as she shook hands in front of Dahlia, but on the inside, she was ecstatic that Dahlia liked it. "No, honestly, you are really wonderful at this," Dahlia said as she set the embroidery hoop on a vacant chair to her right. "Thank you so much; I learned to embroider from my mother," Grace said, looking at her mother beside her. Grace's mother, Merriam, teased her, saying, "Grace loves delivering her embroideries to her new neighbors, and you would probably know what she would give you when holiday comes. On top of that, she would really spend her day only doing this, no doubt since our house is extremely filled with her works." They all laughed. "Oh, come on!"
