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

S E R I N EI was in blood.My legs and arms were covered in blood.I ran.So fast.So fast. As far as my legs could possibly take me. There was someone- or something, that was chasing after me. I didn't know what it was. I didn't look back. Afraid of what I may see. Until my feet touched more than one thorn, I collapsed to the ground, reaching for my foot as I cried out in pain.My heart was racing out of my chest. I could hear my own heart beat as I inhaled and exhaled deeply. I was sweating and the feeling of blood on my skin wasn't helping. I panted and all the energy I had, had vanish. I needed somebody to help. It was like I was meant to step on that thorn. Like I couldn't actually escape.Like I didn't deserve to."Kill me already! Kill me!" I yelled at the person or thing that was chasing me. "I don't wanna suffer anymore. I'm tired of trying so hard to be the perfect daughter. The person that can deal with anything- I'm dead inside!" I choked once I said the last three wo

S E R I N E"I'm coming,""Can we all come?" I release a huge sigh. "Guys, I can handle this on my own," I say for the hundredth time. I was currently on FaceTime with these people who had the stupid idea of calling me.I mean, who still calls?"I genuinely feel like she's not over the fact that we called her,""You think?""Oh get over it," Levine rolls her eyes. "Look who's talking," She then smiles innocently and I shake my head in return. "When is the... you know, coming?""Round about in five or so. I just wanna get this assignment over and done with honestly.""Same," They both say. "At least you guys have better partners," I say."Excuse me? I have Amber," she says as a matter of factly. "Oh yeah,""Well Nina, seems like you got the best out of all of us," She then shrugs. "Well anyways, I have to go. I'm gonna need those five minutes of preparation,""Call if anything,""Yup! Right across the street boo,"I smile lightly. "Ciao," I hang up. I silently stare at the ceiling as

A N G E L OIt's been an hour and she had not answered.Delivered but not read."You keep checking phone... expecting someone?" I look up to the source of the voice and sigh when I do. "She hasn't answered?" I shake my head, tiredly."She's probably busy," My eyes lock with hers. Not believing what had just come out of her mouth. Instead of her trying to drag her name into the mud, she was doing the opposite. This must be some joke. "Look I won't pretend that I like her. We all know that's true but I am a girl at the end of the day. Don't worry about it,""And since when have you sided with her?""Oh no trust me, I'm not siding with her. I'm just trying to ease your mind a bit," I arch my brow at this. "Why?"She shrugs. "I don't know exactly but Angelo," her voice goes softer. "I'm not as bad as you think I am. I have feelings too.""I'm only human,"***I feel uneasy as I see myself in front of the f

L E V I N E[Flashback]He watched her like she was the only girl he had ever seen. It was the way I wished every man would look at a woman. Like she was everything. Like the Goddess' women are, but only a handful of us can actually say, experienced that. It was the way I wish he would look at me. I guess I finally liked a boy. It was stupid, so stupid. The feeling inside of me every time I saw them together, stupid. It stung. Though I had to keep my mouth shut and my heart safe at all costs. I was never one to actually ever like a boy so easily, and if I did, it was serious. To my bad luck, it was all unrequited. He loved her, he only saw her. I think a lot of people confuse that. Being with a person who doesn't see you as the only one, just know you aren't the only one. I guess I had this crush on since forever. It may be crazy that Levine Arnaud, is crazy in love. Is thinking about a boy that loves her best friend. Love hurts. Someone decided to take the seat next to me wi
The Victim 63| what if
S E R I N E My jaw is slightly ajar, as I stare at Levine in shock.Her brother was coming to visit? His timing couldn't have been worse. "Took the words right out my mouth," She mutters and I soon realized I had said that out loud. I don't say anything and just run my fingers through my curls."Honestly, how do you feel?" I ask. "Truth be told," She looks at me. "like crap. Every thing was going perfectly fine up until now. Me being locked up in jail was like a sign, a sign of more bad things coming my way,""Amen.""May I join?" I look up to see the brunette, Nina. "Sure,""I guess everyone's having a bad day?""What do you mean by everyone? What happened to you?" I look at her. "Well you guys don't even have to say, I can easily tell. I had a little encounter with Amber, David came late and got detention. Darek was sent to the principals office and Angelo got into a little fight," My brows come together. "What?""W- what? why? when?""I'm not quite sure but I heard and I saw him f

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
