2024-10-29 19:42:56" 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 himRelated chapters

" so I need you all to run ten laps round the field. " our P.E teacher said and we all basically groaned and mine was the loudest since I definitely wasn't a fan of running or anything to do with sports. Plus I'm beginning to regret that Alex was in swimming. Not that I can swim but at least I would have company." miss walkers " the teacher called out and I darted my eyes to him and forced a smile. He had a frown displayed on his face as he pointed to the big field where I could see the students already running. I took that as a cue to join in." okay " I muttered slowly and quietly but loud enough for him to hear. I began to jog to the end of the field to catch up with the others. And then he blew the whistle and all of us started running.I started running behind the girls and wow did I get all the views of their almighty pants they are supposed to call shorts. My hand in my tangled hair as I tried to tie my hair up in a pony tale but I can't because I

As soon as I dropped Cheryl off the next morning at school, I did the next thing I could and told Shawn to watch over her because I couldn't do it alone. He has also seen her at her worst just like me and it wasn't nice.The first and second period went smoothly and I wasn't paying attention in any of the classes, all I could feel was anger, confusion and sadness, why would dad call Cheryl, after all these years, I just couldn't understand anymore. What was mum keeping from us too?As soon as the bell rang, signaling the end of the second period, I picked my bag off the floor and made my way to the gym for P.E as that was the third period, we usually had P.E after lunch but it got changed this week. I changed into my shorts and sports shirt as soon as I entered the rest room. A frown still on my face to tell every one to back off. I opened the door and walked past the gym to the field where every one gathered with the coach right in our middle.

" no I didn't. Thats outrageous. Why would I blush ? " I said hurriedly and gave her a frown. " are you nervous ? " she asked me again with a puzzled expression." yes no. I'm not nervous. Why ? " I asked her back" okay then why were you stammering just now ? " she asked me grinning" I didn't stammer.. I just wasn't prepared for what happened. " I said and frowned.What the hell, why won't she stop bugging me. I didn't stammer well maybe I did stammer just a little but does she have to just state the obvious every single time, things are getting so hard to keep from her and it's crazy. like girl stop being so damn curious and what is worse is that I can not even lie to her because she would find out just by looking at me." what happened Betty " Alex said and I didn't reply her " this started when you mentioned P.E . what happened in your class Betty ?

ELIZABETH:I opened my eyes, got out of bed and then I took my shower before searching my closet for what to wear to school today. Its a Friday, meaning the end of the school work for the week and the start of the weekend and also meaning today after school, Alex will try to talk me into attending another night party again like she does even though I always turn her down. I mean why would I want to go to a night party when I can eat popcorn with mum and watch a movie . As I ransacked my closet, I could not help but think about what Alex said two days ago in the lunch room, I ask myself this same question every morning. Do I love Adam? Am I in love with him? And still I have no answer to my question. I'm lost and I'm sure I don't even know what to do, with Alex constantly bickering about Adam every time I see her, Adam always shooting me smirks and winking at me in the hallways, in class too. Urge I feel so frustrated.He is confusing me too but its fine, I don't ca

" hey hey hey Betty " a voice said and broke me out of my trance as I made my way to the field. You must be wondering what happened and how i got to the field. Well after my encounter with Adam, I spent all my lunch with Cole and Alex arguing and I left when I got fed up. So with my apple tart in my hand, I left the lunch room for the field where it is super quiet. When I run into something, making my apple tart spill in different directions. I hit a hard wall, till walls started talking. I looked up" Shawn? " I called with surprise and uncertainty as the hands steady me so I don't fall. I stand with my apple tart on the floor, spilled every where." I'm sorry Betty " he said and shaked his head at my food. " I should have told you to stop and held you. " he muttered quickly with a frown on his face." no no. I'm sorry. I was the one who made the mistake " I said and he smiled at me" we haven't seen each other all week and when we finally do. Th

ADAM:" hey you going to the party tonight? " I asked Shawn and I got to our hideout place after school on Friday." don't know. I kind of have a date tomorrow so I don't wanna go some where " he answered and my eyes almost burger out." you... You have a date? " I stuttered and quickly took my seat beside him on the pool chair. He blushed" yes I have a date " he said and I grinned and fist bumped him." finally man. You are gonna get laid " I said and smirked while he blushed again. " quit blushing dude or I'd think you are in love with her " I added " I think I love her " he said and I opened my mouth as I registered what he said. He loves someone." Shawn I lo... " I was about to tell him that I'm also in love with someone too until he stops me." but you can't know how it feels " he said interrupting me and a frown finds its way to my lips but I quickly hide it." what's that supposed to mean?

" wow girls you both look stunning " my mum gushed as she took shots of us with the camera. I rolled my eyes." my baby's first high school party " mum said again and I frowned. No it wasn't my first high school party. Just the first one in this city. My make up was light and she put my curly red hair in a pony tale with a few strands hanging above my forehead. I looked pretty." let's go before she starts lecturing us on how to use protection " I dragged Alex as we got out of the house with Alex laughing behind me.I rolled my eyes again and walked to the car carefully watching my steps so as not to trip." you look like you are gonna fall on your face soon " I looked up to see where the deep voice came from even though I already know its Ralph, Alex's brother. Again" what are you doing here ? " I asked, ignoring his comment earlier. He looked so calm as his hands were in his pocket as he stood sexily by his car." well its ni

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
