" Eliza!! " Cheryl called out to me and smiled, a smile on her face. I'm already getting used to her so I smiled at her back. I like the sound of my name on her lips " hey " I whispered as she got to me, the smile never leaving her face. " good morning.. How is your leg? " she said and collected my books from me. " well I'm surviving aren't I? " I said and smiled at her before walking out of the locker room with her beside me and I couldn't believe it, that me, I was beaming widely with Cheryl by my side... As we moved forward I met a pair of hazel eyes staring at me and I stopped and locked eyes with him. I can't forget his face... " hi, I haven't officially met you " he said extending his hands out to me. " I'm Adam " he added and grinned, like he won the lottery or something. I hated his smile... " Elizabeth. " I mumbled and looked away. " I don't like handshakes "Related chapters

" hi mum " I said as I opened the door after school. " hi honey, how was school? " she asked me as she smiled. " school was fine today. How is staying at home going mum? " I asked her. " boring without you. " she said " who is this? " she asked as she stared at Alex who was beside me smiling. " hi Mrs walker, I'm Alex " she said and smiled. " mum this is Alex, my best friend. She needs a ride home so I was wondering if you will drive her " I said and mum looked at me and smiled.. " oh that won't be a problem. Come inside you two. let's go " mum said and I smiled at Alex before she got into the back seat and I buckled my seat belt and mum drove into the road. " so where do you live honey? " mum asked Alex as she stared at her through the front mirror. " Lakeview estate Mrs walker, " Alex said " oh you make me look old, call me Brenda .." Mum said and I st

" hey Betty .. You excited for dinner tonight? " Alex cued as she took the seat opposite mine. It is lunch time now and I could see people filing in and out of the cafeteria. " Alex.. Well I am. How was advanced maths " I asked her as I sipped my drink gently. Alex dropped her bag on the floor and put her phone on the table. She had a big smile on her face too. " well. As much as I like maths, advanced class is just so annoying. Why can't I be in your maths class " she whined and took my bag of chips before opening it. " one that's my own lunch so go order yours. The line is just ten feet away from here " I said and I snatch my bag of chips from her right before she opened it. " two your brain is just too big Alex so deal with the maths class. Don't worry to make you feel better, we still have eleven months till graduation " I said and took a bite out of my chips. " wow I feel so much better " she said in sarcasm...

" where have you been and why is your expression weird? " Alex asked me as I finally made my way to the school parking lot and also to her car.. This is the first time I will ride in her car.. " I was in P.E class " I muttered and sat down in the passenger seat with he seat belt on. " you look funny and flustered.. Did something happen? " she asked me again staring at her face.... " I'm fine. I just feel tired that's all .. Let's go " I said putting my head on the seat to rest.. " you don't look okay but if you say you are fine then okay.. " she said and I was grateful.. I closed my eyes and she pulled out of the drive way into the streets.. I didn't need to tell her where I live cause I told her in the morning... As I closed my eyes, I didn't sleep, all I could think of was what Adam said and I couldn't help but wonder what secret of me that he knows.ADAM: " so wait dude

BEGINNING OF DREAM::: " hey hey " I heard a voice outside my window that night. I checked the time on the clock, it was 11:30pm, nearly midnight and here I was hugging my knees as I wept profusely.. Why did he do that? Why did he try to do that? Isn't he my dad? Then I started hearing sounds on my window, like stones were being thrown on it so I stood up, pulled my jacket over my body and opened the window, only to reveal Dena in her school clothes from earlier with a bunch of pebbles in her hand not to forget the wide smile on her face. " didn't you go home earlier? " I asked her and she nodded before smiling again. " where... Did you go somewhere? " I asked again. " yes Eliza " she said putting her hands into the pockets of her leather jacket " do you know its past midnight " I asked again still staring at her. She had a scowl on her face now. " yes I

ELIZABETH: What the hell is this idiot doing?.. I ask myself as I stare into his eyes while his lips are on mine. He is looking straight into my eyes too and this is crazy.... Instantly rage fills my heart and my head and I push him off me with force before slapping him hard across the face.. " what the actual hell... Are you crazy? " I asked him furiously before eyeing him. He looked like he was trying to understand the situation if things as he was staring blankly and his palm was on his cheek.. Serves him right... " I .." He started... But I put my hand up to cut him off from speaking.. " don't you ever do that again nor should you come near me.. I don't fucking care about the secret that you know Adam just stay away from me. This is my last warning... " I said and with that, I stomped out of the class angrily and also cursing. " so you slapped him... " Alex stated blankly as she stare

As soon as the bell rang signaling the last period, I packed my bag hurriedly and moved out of the view of everyone before finding my way to the library to use my free period. I entered the library and gave the librarian a smile before walking to my special shelf where I had hidden a lot of books for my leisure time. I bent down and looked at the books, trying to pick one to read for this period. I finally settled for " A chance at true love " and a smile tugged at my lips, I have been wanting to read this book since but haven't had the chance. I walked to the free roll where there wasn't any people before sitting down. I placed my earpiece in both if my ears before opening the book so I can start reading. You might find it weird but I can listen to music and at the same time read, well because it makes me feel like I'm in the book. " Betty " I flipped open another page of the book and another smile formed at my lips as I p

ADAM: " Who is the girl? " Cheryl asked me before walking into my room. She plopped down on my bed before staring at me with a frown. I'm pretty confused right now. " uhmmm " I say and raise my eyebrows at her. " who's who? " I asked her as I faced her too. She rolls her eyes " blah blah. The girl whose gat you whipped " she mutters, her lips formed into a thin line. " one there is no girl and two I'm not whipped " I grumble. She shifts against my sheets. " yeah yeah keep saying it till you believe it " she says and turns her head so she can stare right into my eyes. " I'm not hanged over any girl and stop looking at me like that " I say with a frown. " like how " she gives me a grim look " oh you mean like this " she asks as she gives me the look again before giggling. I end up throwing a pillow over her head. " okay fine stop its creepy. I like someone " I finally say

" hey girl with the pink hoodie " Alex said as she gave me a bright smile. " hi you too " I said and smile at her too before closing my locker. I face her and rest my back. " you have sleep bags under your eyes... " she said and frowned.. Must she have to have a very nice pair of eyes that work extraordinarily well. " yeah i didn't get any sleep at all last night " I said and tug at her cloth so we can leave. " and why didn't you sleep well? " she asked me as we made our way to our first class. I shrugged at her question as we continued our walk. " don't tell me you didn't sleep because you were thinking of the kiss with Adam " she said suddenly and I came to a halt. " I slapped him remember? " I said with a death glare. " but you kissed before you slapped " she said again and I frowned at her. What the actual fuck is wrong with her. " whatever I wasn't thinking about him

TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED
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
TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS CHAPTER NINETY FIVE
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
TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS CHAPTER NINETY FOUR
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.
TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS CHAPTER NINETY THREE
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
