The Victim 51| hell
S E R I N E"You? What are you doing here?""Well hello to you to,""So you saw it was me,""I mean you definitely look older now,""No I do not,""Yes,""No,""Yes,""No,""Yes""Are we seriously gonna do this?" I scoff. "How the hell are you even working for the FBI?" I add."First of all, we were already doing it," I roll my eyes.Okay, smart ass. "And second," the interesting part. "I worked very hard for my position-""Okay, okay, I get it. Almost everybody works hard to get where they want to be. Trust me, you don't have to give the whole speech.""I wasn't going to give you the speech, you just cut me off,"Fucking hell. "Has anybody told you how annoying you are?""Nope," he shrugs and I squint my eyes at him. "You're the only one who gets easily irritated. So it's safe to say you're an easy target."Everybody! You have sort of met this person before.>

S E R I N E"I thank all the students who are here today,"Don't think we had a say so anyways. "We're all happy to introduce our new comers as I hope they enjoy their time in our Varsity. Raymond University invites you all," That was our queue to welcome them with a warm round of applause. So that's what we all did. Just like last year where all us felt welcome too. "All we could ever wish is for great happiness and even greater achievements for all our students,""Though, now as the freshman has arrived and we've all given them the welcome they deserve, I would like to introduce the students of the second year, who have decided to attend Raymond Varsity and we are glad to have them. Let's begin the introductions,"Our varsity was something now, wasn't it. I don't ever see myself seeing another college or varsity do this. For absolutely no reason. We rarely have any assemblies- only in the beginning and that's to wish us all well for the rest of year.The useless assembly ended of

S E R I N EUnbelievable. This was unbelievable. While I stood there, looking like an absolute idiot, my father knew. My father had already knew he was transferring to Raymond- why?Why didn't he say anything.Why would he do that? I didn't want the, 'I was trying to protect you' bs. I wasn't going to buy that crap. "Sweetie can we speak?""Dad, it's only been 60 seconds. One minute and I haven't even been able to process everything and you're already wanting to speak with me? Dad, no. Please," I jerk my head back in disbelief. "I know you don't want to listen to me right now,"Duh. "but I have to speak with you. I know you're angry but I did this to protect you-"Oh here we go."Protect me dad? Protect me from what?""From that boy, Alexander," I arch my brow, a scoff coming out of me. "Unbelievable,""Pumpkin I know you're not seeing it from my good side, but I did this with my good heart. I didn't know how to tell you. I knew it since the beginning of this year-"I look up to him-

S E R I N EI found myself regretting what I was thinking because Lord, was I wrong.Alexander sat right in front of me, like it wouldn't bother me to see the back of his head everyday. Just when I has hoped for the morning to go round about okay, it was already starting off as bad.Breath.Just breath. This was kind of all my fault because I was the one who came early- only because I didn't want to be stuck in traffic. Now I was stuck with the mother buffer while the rest were still making their way to their cars obviously. I check the time- classes were going to begin in 30 minutes.Ugh. Never again.Not unless somebody accompanies me."Is my presence bothering you, princess?" I glare at the head in front me before they turn around, revealing an obnoxious smirk that was plastered on their face.Breath.And I do so, I tear my gaze away from him and take out my phone. My bag is seated on top of me, as I unlock my phone. "Ignore me as much as you please, but we both know, you'll alwa
The Victim 55| night in jail
S E R I N EI honestly couldn't believe where I was at. Never did I imagine myself in a jail cell with two other people in just because I had done what I wanted to do all my life. And that was to beat the hell out of Kelly.Unfortunately for Levine and I- we were in separate cells, therefore I hadn't seen her ever since I gotten in the cell. "Hey cutie," I almost cringe. I ignore the person who had just said that and stare up into space.Never talk to people in jail. "You might wanna consider sitting, cause I'm pretty sure you don't want to be standing for countless hours," I could almost hear the smirk from the same person. I continue to ignore them, staring through my peripheral vision as the figure gets up from the bed."Listen," Their hand snaking around my neck. "I don't like people who ignore me," Their warm breathe fans my ear. "And you wanna know why?"No, no I really don't. "Because they think their much more higher than everybody else,"Wait, what?I'm doing this to p

S E R I N ESo I could hear voices.Yeah, voices.But I didn't recognize a single one of them. They were completely different. I was completely still and I could tell I was sleeping on something. I force myself to open my eyes after moments of failing. "I think she's responding," I hear a females voice. "I'll leave you alone with her," my heart began racing.Leave me alone with who?To see who it was, my eyes slowly fluttered open but I immediately regretted it when I'm faced with the light.The darkness was so much better.Okay, that was partly a lie. I don't appreciate not seeing where I'm going. A warm hand covered mine that had always been cold and I melt at the feeling. Fluttering my eyes open once again, my lids are heavy- so blink a few times before my eyes adjust to the light. "Hey," Is the first thing I hear since I've opened my eyes. My eyes make contact with the dark brown ones. I recognize the person almost immediately. "Hi," I stretch my lips into a small smile.My thr

L E V I N E Imagine being in a cell with your own enemy.Trust me it was fucking great, we were chatting like we never fought. Okay, ending this sarcasm right now- it was hell."Levine Arnaud,""Amber what what," I stare at her blankly and she rolls her eyes. "Can you stop being a bitch?""Can you stop being a child?""Can you just listen to me?""And why the hell would I do that?" I ask, rolling my eyes this time. "Because- Levine, I'm sorry,"I laughed.Funny."I'm sorry I turned out to bitch to you, I'm sorry I suddenly changed. I'm sorry for ruining our friendship. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think back to everything.""Cute," I praised her. "You almost got me to believe you there- but I remembered my mom always telling me that people don't change over night. And certainly, not you.""Levine-""I trusted you with my own damn life. That friendship that we had, 5 years ago if I'm not mistaken- it's gone. It's ashes now. It's nothing but dust. And I don't recall an
The Victim 58| perfect daughter
S E R I N EFor the first time since today, I heard the words that I actually fell in love with. "You're free to go," The man says as I internally jump for joy. Of course there was no way that I'd actually be physically jumping because my body was in absolute pain.I find myself side by side with Levine to the outside. "Hey uh!""When am I getting out?" Kelly yells. The officer sighs, locking the gate. "Soon," and then she walks off. Her eyes then land on me, I smirk."It's what she deserves," Levine mutters. I can practically hear her smirking. "Byee," I mock her, rolling my eyes slightly. Turning my heel and walked my way out the station. The fresh air connected with all the exposed parts of my skin but I didn't care. It wasn't cold. From the view of the sky, I could tell it was getting late though, I just didn't know what time it was.A black SUV pulls up and I recognize it due to the last digits of the plate number. They really could've come with a much smaller car, but okay. The

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,
The Victim 69| little one (BONUS)
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
