The Victim 32| incomplete
Serine***It was now Friday and I was so relieved. It was pretty early and I had decided that I should probably visit my dad today. And I was thinking about that during my most pleasant class of the day.Maths. Note the sarcasm.We were busy writing a test and I'm not joking when I say that I was not focused. Not even the slightest. I haven't even begun studying but I'm writing my first paper in three days. Hip hip, hooray!How noice. My thoughts then drifted back to my dad who was still in the hospital. Not at his best unfortunately. There was no response whatsoever. He was unfortunately still the same as I left him. I hoped for progress because I wasn't about to give up anytime soon. He wouldn't want me dwelling on the topic but he was the one parent I had left. I couldn't lose him too.I had lost my own mother because I was born. And I simply couldn't lose my father too. Knowing maybe there is something I could do about it. Don't you give up Serine, he'll be okay. Unable to fo

Serine ***Arriving at the hospital, I see his body once again. His eyes closed, he wasn't moving an inch whatsoever. The machine beeping at every second, reminding us that he was still there. Right?Right.I softly drag the stool near, to the right side of his bed and sit down on it. Grabbing his hand that had the pulse oximeter on his index finger. "Hey dad," I greet as happily as I could."You know, I'm beginning my exams next week and uhm- I promise you I'll study really hard so I can graduate. I want you to be there- to see me graduate. Nothing will be better than you smiling and hugging me saying you're proud of me. I know mom is smiling wherever she is, I think I'm going to visit her today." As I stare my dad teary eyed.What the hell, I'm such a crybaby. I spot a chain around his neck. It was his locket. The one he'd never take off and treasured forever. I stood up slowly and I was lucky enough he wasn't sleeping too low. He was more- or- less upright. Once the chain is

Serine***I don't know if it was me or if Alex didn't want me talking to Angelo. I remember back when Angelo and I were sort of talking and I realize even more or so now that we never really spoke. Like I've done with David.Well, I mean... David was a bit different because he was like the older brother I never had, but still. Back on the library topic, Angelo wanted to speak to me. Then literally just yesterday It was my dad. And right now, when Angelo is simply complementing my shirt and Alex calls me somehow wanting to distract me to a much more different topic but I can't help but notice this time.Was I over thinking it this time or was I not?"Hey Alex,""Yes my Juli-""Don't even," I snort. "That's beyond cringe." I say honestly. His pouting causes me to roll my eyes but I open my mouth to speak. We were all at my house once again and I don't know how I got on this- beautiful kitchen counter. Dressed in the largest hoodie I owned with Alex standing in between my legs, holding

Sarah***We arrive at my house which is literally the next street to Rine's house which only took less than a minute to get there. I receive a text from Levine telling me she arrived safe because she knew how paranoid I could be.I text her back and shut my phone once the text is delivered. "Welcome to my crib," is all that comes out of my stupid mouth. Ugh see this is why I don't say a lot of thing to Darek. I'll end up embarrassing myself and that's the last thing I wanted. I just craved the whole ground swallowed me and he'd forget I ever said that. "I like it, it's pretty cool." My mom was a doctor and my dad basically owned his own company of jets.So you can imagine how large it was, definitely not as big as Levine's. Sheesh. Her mom used to be a plastic surgeon but now she's helping the needy. Opening her own foundation- that woman was a role model. I don't care. It was crazy because Levine was my neighbor. Right next door from me and we technically lived in the same area."I

Serine***With all the raging anger inside of me, I slam the door shut with a much needed thud. I jump over to my large ass bed and laid comfortably on my face.I was so tired.So freaking tired of everybody.And Alexander was one of that everybody.We had only started out things and he was acting up because somebody likes me? And that one person is my friend who he never really allowed me to speak with? Cause with every chance I got it, it was like we could never finish a conversation. All couples fought, I understood that. I knew that. But what I didn't expect was for it to come so soon.And what made it more frustrating was that it was over something so stupid. I knew eventually that I had to stop stressing on some things. Everything was just happening so fast and all at once that my brain couldn't even focus and keep track on each and every one of them.I opened my drawer and spotted a familiar substance. I slammed the drawer shut- locking it.No Serine. Not ever again. Dad woul

Angelo***I arrive at Levine's house and I spot other familiar faces once I enter. But the one I don't see is Serine. It was noon and the shine was already shining brightly.Speaking of the person I hadn't gotten to speak to, because of her boyfriend, Alex. It was no secret that they were dating. Although they tried to hide it at first, it was clear even way before, that was something there. So it didn't really surprise me but it did surprise me how I felt about it when I saw her resting her head on his shoulder. Which I wish was mine, I envied that. I envied him. He had such an amazing person and he knew it.I certainly do feel like it'd be unfair if I didn't do anything to get her- to have her. Even if everyone says you should fight for your love- I didn't think I was worth it for her. She likes somebody else, she's with somebody else, so it was best I kept my mouth shut. It was maybe best to keep it all in.I don't even think she noticed that I heard her conversation concerning me

Serine***"Fucking hell, were you drinking?" I hiss already knowing the answer. The alcohol in his breathe already fanning my face. "No," I roll my eyes at his answer. "I'm just here wanting to speak the truth," Alex was here for whatever reason. The moment he opened the door, I found myself pulling him to the kitchen, away from everybody else because I didn't want him to cause a scene.That was the last thing I needed or wanted."What truth are you even talking about?""That you like him, you like him. That's why it took you so long. That's why it took you long for you to confess to me,"Oh hell no we're not doing this again. "But you know what?""No, no. I really don't know,""I don't care. That doesn't matter like you said. I'm sorry I said that yesterday. And I'm sorry it took me so long so admit this, it was my insecurity speaking. I just don't want to lose you.

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
