"I'm... I'm sorry I can't do that. " I reply honestly and I watch her sniffle and nod.
"I... I had a feeling you'd say that. "She replies. She's an emotional wreck right now.
It's high time we make it back to the mansion. It'd soon be time for breakfast and being absent from the dining hall is a punishable offense. I don't think Deborah can bear a fartellos beating upon her current state.
I pick up her shirt and I have no idea if to assist her with putting it on or if to just leave it to her. All my life, I've never seen a girl in pure pain. All the other girls I've seen in 'pain' were just acting to gain my attention and pity.
But theDesmonds POV;It's already noon and we have free time again. ×free time here is pretty frequent. Almost like Madre thinks this would do us some 'good'.I have been watching Deborah for the past few hours. During breakfast, harvest, and even now she's still silent. Tori had come to me earlier like a lioness whose cub I've hurt demanding what went wrong with Deborah. I told her to leave me be and stay out of my hair as I did nothing. After sending me death glares, she stormed off in anger.I find Deborah on a bench. Her gaze lost in the sky and her mind most definitely not here. I walk up to her and take a seat beside her."I heard, you sing," I say to catch her attention and her immediate blink makes it known I've brought her back to earth.She places her hands beneath her chin but says nothing. What exactly happened. I try to r
Sonias POV;I walk out and find Gabby and Tori outside. I join them and not long after, the metal gong is struck, we all form two lines and are lead to the dining hall. I take a seat and I look into my bowl only to find worms dancing about in it. Out of disgust I push the plate away and grab my cup of water.Rachel soon sits beside Tori and both Gabby and Tori stare at her red, swollen face in shock and alarm."What happened? " Gabby asks. Rachel looks up at me before mumbling."Nothing!"I look up only to find Tori staring between Rachel and me. This girl's too smart, she's connected the dots!! She suddenly bursts into laughter and it's evident her laughter is a pure mockery of Rachel as Rachel keeps starring at her like a volcano about to erupt.Tori clears her throat" sorry.. I.. I.. I... " she makes to speak only to burst out laughing again. Her laughter attracts a few eyes and Gabby just stares at me in confusion.Soon ever
After my encounter with Desmond, the rest of the day goes by with an inexplicable level of happiness in me. It feels good to know that I am still able to hold my head high up and defeat my depression and frustration. I wanted to tell Gabby and Tori about Rachel but it slipped my mind. The rest of the day goes fast as if being pulled by a speed boat. Soon it's time to sleep. I lay in bed with a smile on my face. "Goodnight! " I greet the girls and all but Rachel reply me. ~well, I don't give a fuck about her. **********I wake up panting frantically as my nightmare was a flashback of Harry's betrayal on my birthday and the day I was abducted. Tears build in my eyes and they pour slowly. I just lay in bed reminiscing that day and how things may have been better if I refused to attend the party Harry threw for me. My thoughts are interrupted by silent moans coming from my left. In fear and caution, I slowly turn over to my side and my eyes widen. If t
"What is it? " he asks finally looking down at me."Its... What is this? " I finally ask running my fingers over the scar Madre inflicted in me the day I got to the mansion with the hot metal.I watch a bitter smile crawl up his perfect face."It's a name," he replies, and my brows furrow in confusion."Name? " I ask."The bible says we all have stones that would be given to us in heaven after death and on those stones lay our real names. Our heavenly names.But Madre gave us each a name from hell. We all don't know what they mean but she does and I think the Fratello's do too. " he replies and fear consumes me. ~A NAME FROM HELL!?.I think he sees the look of fear on my face and he chuckles."Don't worry, you're fine. Hell has no hold over a child of God," he says.
Desmond and I finally make it back to the mansion and I'm glad I finally got him to laugh. At a slow, steady pace, the week passes and it's Game Night."It's finally here! " Gabby shrieks as we make it into the main hall."I don't get why you're so excited," I state as we enter the poorly cleaned and decorated room."I wanna see if Desmond would join our cause of you and if he does, I'm gonna corner him in a moment of truth game and make him confess his feeling for you! " Gabby replies her hands on her waist."Firstly, Desmond won't be joining us and secondly, Desmond doesn't see me as more than a... I'm not even a friend to him!" I reply to the ever so adamant Gabby."You can't deny that boy's fallen for you! " Gabby replies in my face.I am about to speak when;"You know, she got a point. " Tori says.
I take a deep breath as I know my story isn't as horrible as theirs but still burns a hole into my heart every time I think of it.*********POP! *I jump in fear when an ear-splitting pop sound interrupts my sleep. I am still looking around my massive pink bedroom trying to figure out from where the sound came when another is heard.Out of fear I jump out of bed only for my feet to land in a lot of pink balloons. The pop sounds continue and in fear that they may begin sounds, I grab my stuffed bunny, cover my ears and begin screaming as I exit my room."Mom!! Dad!!! Jason! Oscar! Andrew!.... " I keep screaming as I make my way down the stairs as the pop sounds won't stop."Mr. Jacob!!? " I scream again when no one replies...Tears begin to escape my eyes when my calls are met with dead silence. What's going on!?
Mr. Simon my dad's driver drops me off. I tell him to leave and that I'd call once I'm ready to come home. I take in the beauty of Harry's front porch. Harry's parents are not as rich as mine, but he did put a lot into decorating his house. A few people outside greet me and wish me as I make my way into the house. The inside looks more beautiful than the outside. I move to the backyard and find more people at the pool. My teammates greet and welcome me. I keep looking around for Harry but I can't find him. I ask his housekeeper where he is and after a little hesitation, he tells me Harry is in his room but I shouldn't bother him cause he's busy. ~yeah right! I shouldn't bother my boyfriend cause he's busy planning my amazing birthday party!!. I walk up to Harry's room. I twist the doorknob but it doesn't budge. Luckily, he gave me a spare key. I had just unlocked the door when...&nb
I smile at his words as I feel my cheeks burn. I look into his eyes and I see the moon in them. His perfect orbs acting as a perfect mirror for the moon. His eyes give the moon more beauty. I am still lost in his gaze when I feel his thumb run over my lower lip.I exhale and my lips part as I take in the feel of his thumb on my lip. He smiles at me and pulls me into a hug. "You're not alone Deborah. We're in this together," he says to me and I wrap my arms around him.Here I am snuggling with a boy who somehow has managed to make himself an important part of my life in just months, under the beautiful full moon."It seems we are both broken souls. " I say. My words muffled by his jacket on which my lips lay."Broken souls that find solace in each other," he says and my heart skips a beat. I smile as I wrap my hands tighter around him and his embrace tightens a bit too.The night slowly passes with Desmond and I talking, teasing each other ~we

It's been a year since Desmond left. I'm staring out the plane's window listening to Trust In You by Lauren Daigle. After all, life has put me through, what else can I do than trust in God.It's been a year but my heart has never grown to love Desmond less. In fact, his departure had only made me realize how less meaning my life has without him.I'm on my way to London. I finally got admission into Imperial College. I wanted to attend a small school back home but trust my father to want big.I don't think staying around more English people would do me good as each one would remind me of how my Desmond is the very best.My dad just had to go choose the 5th best university in the United Kingdoms. He says he wants me out of Canada to help me forget the mansion but that place has been sculpted so deeply into me that not even a memory loss would wipe it off.&nbs
"But he asked me to give you this. "The doctor adds holding out a folded paper to me.I collect the paper with tears in my eyes and he gives me a comforting smile before walking away.I stare at my wristwatch and it reads 11:00 am.I missed him. My last chance of seeing him and I missed it.My phone containing all his details totally crashed and not backed up! Why Sonia, why?He... Desmond is gone. Gone to his home town and I'm here in Ontario Canada Left with only hopes to see him again someday!.I open the paper and it reads;*Hey, sorry about my wobbly writing. It's been a while I held a pen.If you're reading this, then I'm on my way to the airport and you're definitely shedding those precious tears of yours.I wish I could say this to you in person but time a
"W... What? "Sonia questions."Sonia I have no choice. My mom is getting married again and wants us to move back to my hometown.She says she no longer wants to stay here cause of what happened. "Desmond explains."But... We just began a... "Sonia begins."I'm moving in a month. "Desmond states."We'd keep in touch via the phone." He tries to persuade and Sonia's face falls as she knows they both have no choice.They spend the rest of the month together to grow a stronger bond. Love is all they fell for each other and;Finally, the day came.One Month After;Sonias POV;I rush out of my house as usual. It's become a habit to rush out of my house whenever I'm on my way to the hospital to visit Desmond.
Wow!I'm so sure a lot of you hate me by now cause of what happened to our Gabby, Ekene, and Tori.And I'm sure when Desmond died you hated me even more but I hope we're all good now😅.I could never kill my Desmond. Hell no😅🙈We're nearing the end of this beautiful book💃💃💋____/|\_____/|\_____/|\_____/|\____With bandage wrapped around her head, plasters on some parts of her face, and her right feet wrapped in a bandage as she'd hurt her ankle but didn't notice. Sonia is still seen smiling.It's been a week after they'd escaped the woods and Desmond is still in bed. The Smith and Daniel families have become close. Even Tori's grandmom had grown a bond with the families during the week.Sonia and Desmond are alone in the hospital room. The sun ray beautifying the room.
Authors Narrative;Jason thinks Sonia had spent too long in the I.C.U and decides it's time to see what's going on and who this 'him' is.He opens the door just in time to see Sonia raising a pair of scissors in the air ready to stab herself."Sonia! "He screams before running into the room and wraps his arms around his little sister to hinder her movements.His scream and reaction draws everyone into the room.Dana, Timothy, Tori's grandmom, the rest of Sonia's family, and Mrs. Daniel who's just found out it's her long-lost son who's laying 'dead' in the I.C.U."Sonia what's wrong with you!?" Jason screams as he struggles to keep Sonia in place."Desmond! "Mrs. Daniel cries as she spots her son on the bed."Leave me! He can't die! If he doesn't come to me, I'd go to him
I freeze as I stare at the doctor. Is there another language where that means 'he's fine?"W.. What? What do you mean couldn't save him!? "I scream."I'm sorry dear. Too many internal injuries. He lost a lot of blood and some serious damage was caused to some of his organs due to the punctures. " the doctor states.I watch nurses begin to exit the room and I stand facing the door. I suddenly begin to hear the voices that makeup silence as I walk into the room.I suddenly understand how light could transfigure into darkness in just a blink of an eye.I suddenly understand how one second is enough to destroy years of hard work.I suddenly understand that death has always been lurking in the shadows. Awaiting the perfect time to steal life.I suddenly understand the fact that life is not defined by t
I turn around in shock only to find a young man running towards me. I stare at the man a little closer and my jaw drops. Jason!"Sonia! "He screams picking me up in his arms."J.. Jason? "I question in disbelief."It... It really is you. " I state. Tracing about his face with my fingers. He's grown a beard."You've grown a beard. "I note."And a mustache seems to be coming along. "He adds with a bitter chuckle before pulling into another hug.We remain wrapped in this hug when I hear my name again."Sonia! "I look up and find Oscar. My second eldest brother walking slowly towards us like he's seen a ghost.Jason steps aside."Sonia! "He screams hugging me and I struggle to breathe."Y.. you you'r
I stand in panic and run a few steps towards the city noise. Maybe I can get some help, but on second thought, there's no way I'm doing that. What... What if something happens to Desmond.What if... What if Mader comes back? I run back to Desmond."Desmond? Come on open your eyes. "I beg with tears as I tap his face gently.He doesn't respond and I notice he isn't breathing."D... Desmond? "I call in fear.I feel about his neck with my fingers. Not knowing exactly how to but hoping to somehow find a pulse."Desmond! "I scream when he doesn't reply."Please Desmond open your eyes! "I scream in fear. He can't leave me. Not now, not ever, I can't be this close to a better life hopefully with him and then he'd leave me. He's been my strength for the past three years. It can't all go to waste!
