2024-10-29 19:42:56As I took my seat in english class during third period, I couldn't help but look around in search for Adam because he wasn't in this class again just like he wasn't in literature or calculus too and yes he has almost all of my classes with me. Thankfully Mr Mike our english language teacher wasn't around yet.
Not that I have gone over my lines, not that I am even prepared for the presentation. Trust me william shakespeare's english is so old and it's not easy to know which is which. And Adam is meant to be here because we are supposed to be going over our lines together like everyone in class was doing now.Some odd people even went far in the sense that they were dressed like people on the covers of their books. They are just trying to show off." Good morning my honourable students. How was the weekend like for you guys " Mr Mike said with a broad smile." Oh I see people dressed like shakespeare's " he said and chuckled and we all had a shareRelated chapters

As soon as I walked into the lunch room, I sight Alex sitting at our favorite spot, a smile on her face as she taps away on her phone. I could see two lunch trays on the table meaning she ordered for me too. That's why I love her..I'm happy that our fight is over and I feel better now that she also knows about Dena but I still miss her from time to time. Maybe mum is right, maybe it's time that I let go of the past. Maybe it's time that I stop blaming myself, maybe it's time that I move on." Betty! " Alex yelled from our table as she waved her hands in the air like a crazy fellow. I grinned and walked up to our table hurriedly." Hi pretty best friend " I said as I sit beside her then drop my bag where she dropped her bag, in front of us. We are very well known in the cafeteria already. It's either we are yelling, meaning Alex is yelling or we are fan girling, meaning Alex in fan girling which also means more yelling but with squeaking like a rat. I'm th

" I'm sorry " I whispered still touching her face as she snores quietly." I'm really sorry. I should have been more responsible. " I whispered in between the tears in my throat." If only I was there. I'd have been able to protect you guys. I'm sorry Cheryl " I said again as I touched her forehead.The door opened and the doctor who had attended to us the day before came inside the room and closed the door." Good morning Mr Rivers " he said and smiled." Good morning " I said and snif before getting up from the floor where I knelt down beside Cheryl. I wiped my eyes and got closer to him." May I have a word with you outside ? " He asked me " Uhmm yes " I said and scratch my head in curiously. I wonder what he had to say to me that he couldn't say inside. " So how is my mother ? " I asked him as we stepped outside, I shut the door." Well there aren't many things to say " he said " What do

ELIZABETH:" So how long does this take ? " I watched mum pace around the kitchen with an apron around her neck. These days she is very busy because the business is planning to open another branch in another country." Two weeks is too much. " She answered and then sighed. She looked so tired and she wasn't even getting enough sleep. At least my nightmares have reduced or else mum would be more stressed " I guarantee you that it will be a success. We can try to hurry the process and end it in a week " she said still pacing around the kitchen." Yes sir.. okay sir. " She said and looked at me. I gave her a small smile which she returned back." No problem sir. I will have to speak to my daughter about it " she said stretching the last sentence as she stared at me again. She put the phone down and then brings the box of pizza we had ordered earlier to the dinner table. She gives me a slice, takes a slice and then sits at the tabl

" Good morning " I smiled as I gave alex a hug the next day I'm school. Today is currently Tuesday, can someone tell me why this week is super slow.. but I don't care, as usual I'm rooting for Friday, weekends and no more parties.. ever." Good morning to you too betty, you look like you are in a really good mood " she stated with a grin." Well I like your dress " I point to the lemon coloured short gown she had on and a jean jacket that passed her bust area. She turned around for me with a laugh escaping her lips. Then finally turned back to me." Nice " someone beat me to it, I already know how it is because alex is currently standing like a street pole, not moving and her mouth is wide open, I hope she doesn't drool." Good morning betty " he said and finally came out of Alex's back " Morning cole " I said and cross my hands over my chest. " Nice look you have today " he said " It's nothing much, just a

ELIZABETH:I made my way to the school parking lot after the bell for closing rang because I will be riding with cole and Alex today after school. Mum will be busy with meeting the executives today and she is also likely to come home late.As soon as I exit the school, I sighted Alex and Cole leaning on Alex's black car as she laughed out. Cole was talking so I guess he was saying something funny, their relationship just started and yet I already feel lonely. I sigh and walk up to the car. " Hey " I said softly and smile at them." Glad to see you finally showed up. " Alex said and rolled her eyes. " If you had walked out of that door few minutes late we would have actually ditched you " Cole said." Haha very funny. " I says sarcastically before opening the back door. I sat inside and then brought my phone out I heard Alex say bye to Cole and then sound of them kissing before she entered the car with a huge grin plas

ADAM:" Dude it takes two to gamble " kelvin said to Curt " I know that old man say something new " Curt said back to him with a smirk." Well the girls love the old man " kelvin said boldly before winking, making the rest of us cringe before we laughed. We were currently at a restaurant located few buildings before the hospital, the boys decided to come visit and there was no way we could stay at the hospital so I asked them out for lunch. " Dude I'm glad your mum is finally better " Cole said with a smile. The idiot has been smiling more than usual today" Don't even ask, " Shawn said as if he read my mind, " he got himself a girlfriend " Shawn concluded and I'm shocked." Oh wow that's rad " I said and cole batted his eye lashes at me." Man you are so whipped " kelvin said as he hits Cole's shoulders." So are you " Curt said pointing to Shawn to just takes a sip out of his drink and smiles. Tha

ELIZABETH:" Honey will you come out of your room " mum called for the fifth time that morning. I groaned in anger and then put my pillow on my head, trying to block out her voice. She was going to leave, after she promised not to. Was a promise nothing to her, didn't she know she actually had to keep a promise before it's a promise" Honey. My flight leaves in few minutes. If I don't go I would get fired " she said againI didn't say anything but I listened " It doesn't mean I don't love you or I didn't think of you. Why do you think I was always on the phone, I was trying to extend the date. I wanted to tell you but I didn't want to hurt you too honey " she said I sighed and then sat up, removing the pillow from my head but I still didn't say anything. I just stared at the door" Okay then. It's fine if you still want to be mad at me. I made breakfast for you and take your meds too. I will see you when I get back. T

ELIZABETH:My heart pounded in my chest, echoing in my ears as I waited for him to speak, to say the thing I’d been avoiding, the thing I wasn’t sure I was ready to hear.He took a deep breath, and with it, I felt the air in the room shift. “Elizabeth,” he began, his voice low and quiet, but there was a raw edge to it, a vulnerability I rarely saw in him. “I love you.” He paused, his eyes never leaving mine. “I love you so much,"His words hit me like a wave, crashing into me with a force I hadn’t anticipated. My breath caught in my throat, and for a moment, I couldn’t move, couldn’t speak. I had known, of course. Deep down, I had always known how he felt, but hearing it out loud, in his voice, with such certainty and conviction—it was overwhelming.“I—” I started, but the words caught in my throat. How could I respond to that? How could I explain everything I had been feeling, everything I had been afraid of, in just a few words? “Adam, I—” I tried again, but the look in his eyes sto

ELIZABETH:Adam.He walked through the entrance, wearing a dark suit, his hair slightly messy like it always was. He looked around the gym for a moment, his eyes scanning the crowd until they found me. And then our eyes locked, and everything else seemed to blur. My heart skipped a beat, and I could barely breathe.I stood there, frozen, as he walked toward me, his expression unreadable. The music, the people, everything around me faded away. All I could focus on was the fact that Adam was here. He had come. After all this time, he had shown up.“Hey,” he said when he reached me, his voice soft but steady. “Can we talk?”I nodded, not trusting my voice to work. My heart was racing, and I could feel the tension between us, thick and heavy. Without another word, we left the gym, slipping out of the side doors into the cool night air. The sky was dark, the stars faintly visible overhead. It was quiet, a stark contrast to the noise and chaos inside the gym.We walked in silence for a few

ELIZABETH:The day of prom finally arrived, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a mix of excitement and nerves. Prom was supposed to be this magical night that you remembered forever, but all I could think about was Adam. The fact that he hadn’t responded to my message still stung. Maybe I shouldn’t have expected him to. After everything that had happened between us, what right did I have to ask him to prom? I stood in front of my mirror, staring at my reflection, trying to focus on something, anything, other than the knot in my stomach. The soft pink dress I’d picked out felt perfect for the occasion, elegant and flowing, but it didn’t feel like me.I felt like I was putting on a show, pretending everything was fine, when really I was drowning in uncertainty. My hair was pinned up in loose curls, and my makeup was subtle, just enough to bring out my features. Cheryl had helped me with the finishing touches, gushing the entire time about how great the night was going to be. I tried t

ELIZABETH:Exams were finally over, and prom was in five days. The relief I felt was hard to put into words, but it wasn’t just the end of exams that had me so distracted. The upcoming prom was hanging over my head like a dark cloud. I should have been excited like everyone else, but there was one person I couldn’t stop thinking about. Adam. The girls and I had just finished shopping for our prom dresses, which was supposed to be one of the most exciting parts of prom prep, but honestly, I had gone through the motions. I picked a dress, tried it on, paid for it, and walked out of the store without feeling any of the usual rush of excitement I would normally feel before a big event like this. I was happy for Cheryl and Alex though—they seemed thrilled with their choices. Cheryl found this glittery, silver number that hugged her body in all the right places, and Alex chose a deep blue dress that made her hazel eyes pop. Meanwhile, my pale pink dress felt like a non-commitment. I coul

ELIZABETH:It felt strange to be back at school, like stepping into a world that had moved on without me. The familiar sounds of chatter in the hallways, the rustling of papers, the ring of the bell—it all seemed so normal, yet I felt completely out of place. I walked through the halls, my head down, avoiding the stares and whispers that followed me. Everyone knew what had happened. They knew my father had been arrested. They knew about the kidnapping, the beatings, and the gunshot that had nearly killed me. And yet, despite the weight of it all, life around me continued as if nothing had changed.I wasn’t sure if I was ready for any of it.As I made my way to my first class, I spotted Alex standing by the lockers, waiting for me. She caught my eye and gave me a small, sympathetic smile before rushing over to me, her arms outstretched.“Betty, hey!” she greeted me, pulling me into a tight hug. “I’m so glad you’re back. How are you feeling?”I didn’t know how to answer that. I hadn’t

ELIZABETH:When I finally opened my eyes, everything around me felt unfamiliar, as though I had been transported to a different world. The room was too bright, too sterile. The soft beeping of a machine beside me was the first sound I registered, a slow and steady rhythm that matched my own heartbeat. My body felt heavy, as if it wasn’t really mine, and a dull, persistent ache in my chest reminded me of what had happened. I blinked, trying to make sense of where I was, why I was here, and then it all came crashing back.The basement. The gunshot. Adam’s face as I threw myself in front of him. The explosion of pain when the bullet hit.I was alive. Somehow, I had survived.It took a moment for the rest of my senses to catch up. My throat was dry, and my mouth tasted like metal. Slowly, I became aware of the soft weight of a hand clutching mine, squeezing it tightly, as if afraid I might disappear again. I turned my head, wincing at the pain, and saw my mother sitting beside the bed. He

ELIZABETH:The room was spinning, and I could barely keep my eyes open. Everything hurt. My ribs felt bruised, my head pounded, and I hadn’t eaten in days. I could feel the bruises forming under my skin, the sharp sting of every breath a reminder of how long we’d been trapped in this hell. Three days. Three long, agonizing days since my father had taken us, since he’d dragged me and Adam into this nightmare. I tried to move, but my body wouldn’t cooperate. My muscles screamed in protest, and I had to bite back the cry that threatened to spill from my lips. I didn’t want Adam to see how weak I was. Not now, when he needed me to be strong. I couldn’t let him see me like this. “Stay with me, Elizabeth,” Adam whispered beside me, his voice barely audible in the stale air of the basement. I could hear the desperation in his tone, could feel it in the way his hand brushed against mine, even though we were both tied to the chairs. “Just keep breathing, okay? We’re going to get out of here.

ELIZABETH:I woke up screaming. My heart pounded in my chest, and my hands trembled as the remnants of that nightmare lingered in my mind. It was the same one again. The same horrifying memory, like a bad movie I was forced to watch over and over. Radena and I, running through the dark, our feet stumbling over broken branches and jagged rocks as we fled from him. My father’s voice echoed behind us, filled with rage and cold determination. The crack of the gunshot always felt too real, the scream that followed piercing the night and making my heart stop every time. Radena fell beside me, her body crumpling to the ground in a way that still haunted me even after all these years. And no matter how much I ran, no matter how fast I tried to get away, I couldn’t save her. I couldn’t escape.“Elizabeth!” Adam’s voice cut through the haze of fear. His hand shook my shoulder gently but urgently. “Elizabeth, wake up! You’re having a nightmare"I blinked, trying to shake off the darkness and th

ELIZABETH:The world was blurry when I first opened my eyes. My head throbbed like someone had taken a hammer to it, and a deep, dull ache settled in the base of my skull. I blinked rapidly, trying to force clarity back into my vision. It felt as though the air was thick, suffocating, and the room I was in was dimly lit, with shadows creeping up the walls. My arms felt strangely heavy, and it wasn't until I tried to move them that I realized they were bound. Panic surged through me like ice water in my veins.I was tied to a chair.My wrists were bound tightly with rope, cutting into my skin, and the more I tried to shift, the more I felt the rough fibers biting into my flesh. The same was true for my ankles, which were tied to the legs of the chair. My movements were futile, restricted to small jerks as I struggled to comprehend what was happening. My mind raced, trying to recall where I was last, how I got here, and why."Elizabeth?" a voice croaked beside me. I turned my head shar
