The Victim 23| new beginnings
Serine***"Guys I think we have company." Both heads snapped towards my direction and I was welcomed with a cough from Sarah. I smirked. "The universe seems to speaking to you guys." Levine smirked.I glared at her, sending her precious middle fingers with my eyes. Turns out, that the guys were here too.Yup. Alexander, David, Darek and Angelo.Angelo who was awfully quiet and right as I thought about him, our eyes locked. His dimple showed and right then and there I saw his paper white teeth. I smiled back. "Ahem," someone cleared their throat and I look to see that it was none other than Alexander.I rolled my eyes, shaking my head and jugged down a little bit of my coffee. I ignored him and took my seat next to the girls. "May we?" David rose his brow, eyes locked with Levine's. Instead of her saying something back, as I expected her too, she looked away.Did I miss something?Sarah seemed to not notice because her eyes were fixed on the dry fruit that was in front of her. I never

Serine***I felt my body in the air and I had to be honest, It was scary and liberating at the same damn time.I don't know how that went together but it seemed to have right now.The wind brushed against my skin and I loved it. It felt amazing. It was like escaping for a short amount of time but even though it was short, it was so much more worth it.It was only me and the wind.My worries, my heart aches were gone. That's how I felt every time I sketched. I was expected to drop like nobody's business, but I screamed. I screamed at first and it felt- again, liberating. From something that I was so afraid of facing, it was honestly one of the best things I had done. I could actually say that.It was over and I felt them release something from my waist and what I did shocked me.I ran towards a figure who had already went his turn and engulfed them in a hug. I felt them freeze but the I felt arms wrap around me.I felt safe.I felt grateful.I felt amazing.I felt like I was free.An
The Victim 25| yesterday
Serine***Once I was done washing my face, I allowed my skin to absorb the water and while I waited. I brushed my teeth for a good 3 minutes and used the water to rinse my mouth once I was done- I dried my hands on the towel that was hanging off the hook and prepared to take a shower.Once I stripped off everything that was on my body, I tied my hair up in a bun and allowed the hot water to ease my muscles.The guys had left soon after- after the- after six and the girls had slept over as we had planned. I felt like it was going to be a healthy Tuesday and I hoped for the best.***"You're glowing." I furrowed my brows with my lips stretched. "Now way.""Yes way." Sarah voiced herself too. "What happened yesterday?" I froze."What's yesterday- what do you mean what happened yesterday? Did I miss something?" Sarah squinted her eyes at me. "Something happened and you don't want to tell us." My jaw dropped slightly and I looked at both of them, my expression, baffled."Uh, wait a minute

Serine***Impatiently I began drumming my fingers and kept glancing at the clock every 2 seconds. Hoping that the bell would just ring any moment.5 minutes Serine.Just five more minutes. Chill.But I absolutely couldn't. I don't know what was out there for me ever since Alexander told me to meet him after his practice, it hasn't left my mind.Another thing that just refused to leave my mind was that night. Where I kissed him. I, the person who hated Alexander's guts from the first day, I kissed a few months later.Why?You're asking who exactly?aaannnd she woke up. Duh, myself. I rolled my eyes. Allow me to ask, why else would a girl kiss a boy she never liked in the first place?I don't know... maybe it was on impulse. That's really all you got? You still haven't realized that you like him.I snort.All heads in my homeroom snap in my direction- including Mr Rossini who was giving me questioning look through his spectacles."May I ask what the joke is?"Perfect. Look what you

Serine***"Of course I came. You told me to come here didn't you?""Yes I did, but your capricious, princess." I squinted my eyes but nodded agreeing. My palms were a bit sweaty and I was feeling hotter than I thought I was.I didn't know if it was just me or it was because of how I was suddenly feeling around him. There was nothing I could easily retort to because all that was on my mind was that I liked him.Mentally I was sending a temporary goodbye to the sassy and snappy Serine because I had something I wanted to tell him.And that I was evidently how I felt. "How was practice?" I started off low-key. "Whoa..." he stared at me. For too long may I add, his was slightly beaming. "W-what? is there something on my face or what?""No," he answered softly. His lip slowly curving up and my stomach flipped. "I just- this is a surprise." I furrow my brows. "What is?"Call me slow people, call me slow. "This. The way you're acting is like another person has taken over you but with the s

Serine***"Oh my God I promise I am going to kill you." I glare at the person who's next to me. "I haven't even done anything," they say and I give the 'really now' look."You have been doing everything I told you not to. ""Correction my dear," he starts off. "you never told me- you just said what you said but you never specifically forbid me from doing anything." I squint my eyes at him. "Fuck." I shut my eyes in pure annoyance. "Alexander you are so damn annoying." I growl."I never asked for you to come, you offered and because of your persistence, that was beyond me, I agreed. And you come earlier than you were even supposed to." I say. "I just wanted to see you." I hum in response and fix my hair as I check myself in the mirrors reflection. I was dressed in a simple baggy jeans and a black cami top and I obviously paired the fit with sneakers and a denim jacket. "I swear you manage to fit in everything." he says popping at the back of me and I glance at him through the mir

Serine***"I wanna go home,""Me too, I'm tired,""Correction, fucking tired," I sit down on the nearest bench and I sigh. It was hot. And when it is hot, unexpectedly, my energy drains faster than it usually does. I slapped my palm onto my forehead as I pant like I ran somewhere. I began feeling a movement on my belly and I knew I had a huge appetite.Only for me to spill my guts later."I need to eat? I just- someone? Anybody?""You need to eat someone?" I somehow find the energy to glare at Levine as she shrugs. "What?" I shake my head and look back up the ceiling. "Did someone make an order?" I narrow my eyes and spot a tray of food in front of me. I look up to the person who had the tray in hand and like a fool, I unintentionally grin. "Life. Saver babe." The second I said that, all eyes were on me.My eyes slightly widen, "That was, a total mistake." I realize. "You just called him 'babe'." I look to the person who had just said that.Thank you so much Sarah. I sigh, givi

Alexander***Her body was underneath the water in the bath tub and she was visible. It wasn't a bath tub with blood, luckily- but that didn't change the fact that I couldn't see her face. My legs speed towards where she was and I literally froze when my hands made contact with the cold water.Without hesitating, I bring both of my arms inside and underneath her body. I carry her bridal style, placing her on the waterproof mat. "Baby," I whisper. She was covered in a white t-shirt but that didn't stop me from panicking. She's been in the tub for way too long . "Baby come on now, respond to me." Nothing.But I refuse to panic. "Baby open your eyes, don't do this to me. Don't. It's way too soon for you to leave me," I plea trying to warm her up, trying to make her eyes open or her hand squeeze, anything. Confusion consumes me as I have no idea if she drowned herself in the bath tub or she simply kept in her breathe. My eyes widen.Her pulse.I press my index and middle finger together a

AngeloMy eyes followed as she walked down the stairs. I didn't think she'd actually come out of her room. She'd been locked in her room all day, everyday.Amber told me she didn't want to open the door for anyone, but since she had access to the housekeys -- she gave them to me. I still remembered the first time we were alone.It was after I found out what Serine had done. The day where I thought I lost the only girl I ever loved.[FLASHBACK]"Angelo?" I keep my mouth shut as I stare down at the floor. "Angelo what's wro-" Her hand inches closer to my shoulder."Don't touch me," I glare at her and she removes her hand as if I had scared her. "You knew didn't you?""Knew what?""DON'T FUCKING BULLSHIT ME," She jumps in shock and stares at me with wide eyes. I ball up my fists even tighter. "What, so you're telling me you don't know about Alexander and Serine?" She doesn't say anything but rather shakes her head, hesitantly. "I don't know what you're talking about,""Like hell I'd b

KellyI rinsed my face off with ice cold water, finding satisfaction with the temperature of the water. The more the tears streamed down my cheek, the more I forced the cold water onto my skin.I lifted my head up and the first thing I saw was my reflection. My eyes were puffy and red, I didn't know how else I was going to explain myself to Angelo. The water was slowly drying up the more I stared at myself in the mirror. I quickly patted my face dry with the nearby towel. I grab my usual face lotion and applied it on my face."Kelly?" I heard his voice from downstairs.I take one more look at myself in the mirror, forcing a smile as I came out of my bathroom. I exit my room and spot him over the balcony. "Angelo," It had been the first time I had seen him months. The rest of my Uni years were bittersweet.And like always, I'd ruined everything.I walk down the stairs, barefeet in a white hoodie. All my blonde strands were tied up into a messy bun. I shoved my hands into the hoodie

S A R A H A huge howl of laughter escapes my mouth, once I find myself in his embrace. "D-Darek, I think that's enough now love," And to my luck, he stopped.I can't help but fail at suppressing my smile. He always knew how to make me smile. He always listened, he cared for me. Too much sometimes."I'm going to get the snacks babe, you can find a movie,""Already on it," His tan skin was glistening and it reminded me of men in the movies. He looked unreal, out of this world and I couldn't believe that I got a chance to hold him again. The chance to call him mine. His green eyes that fit perfectly- with his olive complexion-- roamed around the TV screen. He wore nothing but a pair of grey sweats- don't ask me how it even got there, but the image always had me distracted.He shifts a bit, his body moving at a normal pace but in my head it was all in slow motion. His dark black hairhair was messy and slightly wet. I smiled, my chest fluttering. This work of art was mine."Beauty,

Levine Two years laterI stare at the picture of my dad and I. It was the picture we took on graduation day. The smile on my face then was as real as it could be.Graduation day, wasn't the best day. It was the day where we all thought we had buried my best friend, my sister. My heart still aches, it made me realize how short life really was. She could've died.She didn't, but my dad did. After Serine's birthday party, I was woken up by a phone call.***I could hear my phone ringing, it's default ring tone knocking me out of my slumber. There were pillows all over the room-- and the room I was in, was not mine. I frown, slowly sitting upright and yawn slightly. I grab my phone on chest- off- drawer and answer the call. Not even bothering to look who it was, that was calling me. My palm, rests on my forehead and I tilt my head back slightly. Fuck, I think I drank a little too much last night. "Sweetie," I hear my mom's voice, it sounds so strained. "Mom? Mom what's up?
The Victim 68| epilogue
I was finally dead.They tried to save my life, shock after shock.I was gone.Every body's tears felt like hot water on my skin. I don't know if it was real or if I just imagined that. Probably the second. I think I was at peace.I could no longer feel and that somehow made me me happy. It was something I once hated- I was numb, a good numb? Is there really such a thing?Well, whatever it was, I didn't mind it. These past years of my years have been a rollercoaster of emotions, most bad but at least I had some good. Maybe not everything had gone to waste.I'm sure everyone had forgotten about me.In a way, it made me content. It used make me feel like I was nothing, it made me feel lonely, helpless and hopeless. It was most definitely the opposite now.I was happier.I rest assured knowing even though they all cried, they'd be okay. They'd heal.No matter how long it took, they'd be happy.And fortunately for them, they didn't have to wait so long."Girl you have to wake up!" I groa

S E R I N E"You?""It's me," I slightly smile. Not even knowing if he could see it through the darkness. "Why are we always meeting in the most unexpected places?""You tell me," he says and takes a seat next to me on the roof. "What's your name, again?" I put an emphasis on 'again' because I absolutely couldn't help it. He seems taken back a bit. "I'm just kidding. I actually remember you, Louis," His about to say something and I remember."Oh right, Louis Enzo," There's something in his eyes once I say that. It even shocks me the amount of stuff I remembered. "Serine Santana,""Serine, or Rine. Santana is an absolute crime," I joke. "Oh definitely," he says and I gasp. "Hey!" I playfully hit him with my palm on his shoulder a bit. "What? You said it yourself," he grins.It's then I realize, in the dark, that this man is so good looking. He had a peach black trimmed beard that suited him perfectly. I could see the silver ring on his thumb. His dark hair sui

S E R I N EI push the door open and enter the restroom.My hands rest on the basin, as I stare at my reflection on the mirror. You could tell I had the time of my life.When was the last time I felt so happy?So free?I hadn't let loose like this in years. I haven't felt purely happy. I haven't had a satisfying escape, but tonight was different. The energy was different, not only was I enjoying myself, my girls were too. It brought a smile to my face, a happy, a silly and joyful one.I took one last look at myself in the mirror and left. I closed the door and was met by the loud music once again.The Dj was sick. I grab my phone out of my clutch and send a text to Levine. Letting her know I'd be outside if she ended up looking for me.I shove my phone back in and continued walking. I reach the outside and shake off my heels. Once their off, I prepare to climb. I was glad that I wore short shorts underneath - an even bigger plus was that nobody was around. I climbed quickly and rea

S E R I N E "Angelo, I can explain,""Is this what he meant? Tell me is this what he meant by, I wouldn't call you my girlfriend after what you did? Is it?" My body shivers and I'm helpless.Not even Levine could help me right now. I had to handle this by myself. I had to get through something without someone else's help. I had to own up to my mistakes. The secret I've kept.It was time.I couldn't deny it."Silence says everything,"I can't even bear to look him in the eye. I just can't.I can't face him."WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?" The loudness of his voice almost makes me shout. I finally look at him. He looks torn -- so broken. It makes me sick how I was the cause of all that. With my hand on my chest, tears blurring my vision, I struggle to find my voice.Just to say that I was sorry.Just to say that, even though I knew damn well it wouldn't help. "I love you Serine, I loved you." His words pierce into my soul almost.It hurts so much.I didn't know if making it br

K E L L YI watched him place his hand on hers, with so much love and worry all at once.[Flashback]I understood why she chose him. A smile overtakes my expression, as I watch him, intrigued.He explained every piece that I didn't understand on paper. I didn't get to hear everything he was saying but all I knew is that it made sense.Whatever it was.He looked so focused and dedicated, he was a smart guy.Who I watched from afar, for years. For as long as I had known him. Alexander was there, but as the guy I thought I liked. Right, thought.As far as I knew, Alex and I weren't together because we liked and wanted to be together, no. It was out of mere desperation. There was no good reason other than just- him wanting to get Serine.No matter how, he had to it. No matter if he had to hurt her in the process. Alex didn't care, as long as he breathed the same air she did. As long as he was in her presence. No matter if he irritated her and how much he claimed to hate her, despite knowi
