VALENTINE'S DAY Parting on good terms
Valentina’s P.O.V“Since I have answered your question, you are going to give me back my diary, right?” I asked instead, Ethan got up from the chair brought the plate, and placed it on my lap.I gazed down at the finely sliced apples and then looked back at him in appreciation. “Thank you.”“I plan to return your diary to you, so don’t be worried.” He answered me, I nodded back at him as I picked one of the slices of the apples in the plate and stuffed it in my mouth.“It’s delicious, thank you,” I said again with awe in my eyes.“Even though your stepfather physically assaulted you to the point of hospitalization and injury, your mother never said anything?” He queried and I nodded. “Why?”“My mother is sick, and also she hates me,” I answered but I can’t answer any more than that.“Is that the reason why you wanted to die?” He insisted and I started coughing, swiftly, he handed me water from the glass cup that was seated on top of the bedside table and I gulped down the content hurr

Valentina’s P.O.V The morning sun cast a warm glow against the worn-out curtain of my room, I came back very late last night, and I stretched in my bed feeling awake in my small, cozy bed. As soon I got up I couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of energy. The nostalgia memories of living with Ethan were replaced by the sadness of the realization that today was my last day both at home and in school. I picked up the letter in my name and closed the envelope, I would give this to Mrs. Carla and thank her for all the times she had helped me while I was being bullied by my classmates. I picked up the bag Ethan got for me yesterday, I wanted to repay his kindness this way, I wanted him to know that I appreciated his efforts. As I approached the hallways that led to classes, I was unable to shake the feeling that something was off. The usual hum of students chatting and laughter seemed subdued, they were all staring at me, giving me evil eyes. An odd hush hung in the air, and I couldn'

Ethan P.O.V I walked briskly toward the gate, my backpack slung over one shoulder, after skipping school for two full weeks I was ready to start with my academics again, I wondered if Valentina was already in school at the moment. I should probably ask her to lunch with me after school, since we are friends now, she might not be so much weary of me again and since I am already sure of my feelings for her, I am going to confess to her today. Just as I walked past some of the junior students, I noticed Travis approaching me from the corner of my eyes, and as soon as he noticed me his brow furrowed in frustration. A smirk played on my lips when I caught sight of his scowling face, he was mad at me and it was so damned obvious. "Ethan! About time you showed up!" He said sarcastically throwing his hands up in the air adding more drama to his sarcasm and to top it all up, he rolled his eyes at me. Yes, Travis was mad at me. He usually gets that childish when he was mad "Hey, Travis. W
Last Updated : 2023-12-31VALENTINE'S DAY Nothing left
Valentina’s P.O.V All that mattered to them was the reputation of the school, no one was asking me if I was okay or anything, I stared hard at the photographs in my hands, the person in them was undoubtedly me, I became confused and dizzy. This was a mistake, there must be a mistake somewhere, because why would anyone do this to me? I felt bile rise to my throat, I needed air… I needed to get out of here.“What do you have to say, Miss Valentina?” One of the committee members shot at me accusingly. “I don’t know how it happened.” I was still in denial. “I don’t remember any of these happening, but it wasn’t me who uploaded them to the school, there is no way I would do something like this and then put it out in the open for everyone to see.”I felt the intensity of my voice increasing as I spoke, I was shouting at them, tears blurring my vision. “Miss Valentina, we have protocols in place for such incidents.” The head of the committee lectured in a placid voice and I felt my heart

Ethan P.O.V "Where the fuck could she be?" I yelled running my hands through my hair in frustration, I had gone to the swimming pool area, and I had gone to the emergency exit at the back, those are the two places she usually spends her leisure. She wasn’t fucking there, I could feel my frustration eat me up from inside, Travis was also equally worried but he was a bit more rational. While I was throwing my limbs all over the place, he seemed to be searching for her in a more composed manner. “You got to calm down, man.” He said running up towards me. “You saw that video too, didn’t you?” I asked him curiously and he paused slightly before nodding reluctantly. “Do you expect me to calm down, knowing Valentina could see that thing?”“Even if you find her, we still have to tell her the truth.” He insisted and I clenched my fist in frustration. “You can’t hide it from her forever, everyone knows about it, it would be a miracle if she hasn’t found out yet.” I don’t care what everyo

Ethan’s P.O.V “Have you seen Valentina?” I asked another random student that passed me, the bunch of them shook their heads immediately, so where on earth could she be? “Where is she if no one has seen her?” “Maybe she had gone home,” “The surveillance group hasn’t seen her, which means she is still on the school property.” I snapped back at Travis, as we went to the back of the school.I was grateful for his presence at least, even if I was being a bitch to him at the moment, I was still grateful for him. I don’t know what I would have done if I was the only one out here looking for Valentina, I would be going crazy right now. I was about to ask him for something else when we suddenly heard screams coming from the front of the school. “What is that?” He asked me and my head snapped in the direction of the noise, Travis and I glanced at each other before we decided to run towards the main building of the school. A lot of other students were gathering in front and they were gazing

Valentina’s P.O.V It hurts so much, the pain in my clogged throat hurts so much, and what hurts even more was Ethan’s rambling, he must see me as some kind of fool who wouldn’t realize he was doing everything to hurt me. “What are you talking about?” He asked, this time he marched towards me and I tilted myself to the other end of the rail making him stop in his tracks. “I will never do something like that, to you or to anyone else.” “You think I will believe you?” He clenched his fists in his hands, why do I feel he was also struggling with something?“You have to believe me, is that the kind of person you think I am Valentina?” How dare he sound offended when I am the one who is hurt, after he used me he is trying to play victim. “Then at least come down from there so I can prove myself to you.”“I don’t want to.” I had made up my mind, right from the time I climbed up here, I wasn’t going to come down from here. “You should leave me alone, Ethan.” His eyebrow tightened at me and

Ethan’s P.O.V Blood, the scent of blood filled my nose as I stared back at Valentina’s lifeless body, I felt a gut-wrenching pain just inside my chest. If only I had a bit faster, I could have caught her when she jumped. No, I shook my head as I stepped away from the railing, I underestimated her, I never thought she could jump. She didn’t seem like someone… No, she did, I was just too lenient about it, she had the same look my mother had the day she died. “Ethan!” I could hear someone calling my name in the distance, but I didn’t know who it was. “Ethan snaps out of it; we have to leave here now!” “Travis…” I whispered as he gripped my arms, and forced me out of the rooftop, he was sprinting forward probably rushing to where Valentina was but he should know that it was already too late for her. Anyone who fell from the rooftop was going to die, the building was far too high for her to survive, I know Travis knows this much but he also wanted to try. He must feel as bad as I do,

VALENTINE'S DAY Epilogue- Valentine's Day
Writer's P.O.V "How is the book ending?" Maurice my assistant asked me, "I thought you were working on it the previous night." "Oh yes, but I didn't like the ending." I answered her and her eyes fell towards the laptop screen, she was too strict with me, even though I didn't sleep all night while writing this ending she might still criticize me for being a shitty writer. "I like this." A small smile reached her lips. "I never liked the fact that Valentina would die at the ending, you would never reach best seller with that mentality." I was never trying to be best seller anyways, but since she approves of this ending, I know that the book is done. I will miss talking to Ethan, and also my number one fan, Valentina, even as she died she called my book, beautiful and a masterpiece. It was different from the way the toxic web readers did. But how did the book end again..."You're going to get late for your interview." Melissa yelled at Valentina, just because Valentina was trying t
VALENTINE'S DAY The start of the original ending
Third Person's P.O.V"Travis, what are you doing here?" Valentina asked curiously before she could push the door close, he stopped it with the tip of his foot and pushed her away instead. She fell to the ground, she knew she wasn't supposed to let him come inside. "Travis." Her eyes widened when she noticed he was holding a knife again, and that was when she remember a memory that escaped her mind, that day in the crowd, she saw the person who stabbed her, and that person smiled at her. It was Travis. "What do you want?" she asked fearfully as she thought about he could be looking for, was he trying to kill her again? Or could he be looking for Ethan instead. "I see you have gotten quite close with Ethan." His eyes scanned through her angrily, and they narrowed. "You are even wearing his clothes, what is this, are you guys married now?" "What do you want?" she insisted on knowing that first. "Are you telling me you don't know? I know you remember everything, don't you try to act
VALENTINE'S DAY Travis
Valentina's P.O.V Today is the day that Ethan said I was supposed to die, I have been in Ethan's house for the last three days and he had been nothing but kind and sweet to me. I didn't even notice just how lovely Ethan was until recently. I have been getting some very strange memories, this was probably the memories of the Valentina in the previous timeline, the Valentina that died. I thought Ethan was the one who assaulted me, but he was actually the one who helped me. I just understood just how much I had misunderstood Ethan's intentions. I didn't tell him about the strange memories that I am getting, I remember so much about us now, and even the first time he kissed me in his house. "Valentina are you okay?" Ethan asked me curiously, I was spacing out while we were cooking, he nudged me softly. "I didn't know you could cook." I mentioned as i washed the vegetables under the running water. "You cook so good." "I once told you I used to cook for my mother while she was still
VALENTINE'S DAY Fight
Travis P.O.V“I never knew you were this kind of person.” My mother said and her eyes widened in horror as she threw a slap at me. I clenched the part of my cheeks that she hit. “Mom, I had told you not to go into my room, without my permission.” I was at the store today, because I noticed that my tapes were running out, so I went to get a new one. Mother claimed she was cleaning my room and she found my collections, pictures and videos. “You invaded my privacy.” “How dare you…” Father joined in, ah, I forgot to add that after looking through my stuff she also invited my father to see things too. “Who are those girls in the pictures and did you do that to them?” “Yes and what if I did?” I asked them curiously. “What are you going to do, are you going to hand over your precious son to the police?” I was daring them, my mother broke down in tears, and the tapes contained images of badly beaten women that I had sexually assaulted. I used the recordings as a blackmail I never needed t
VALENTINE'S DAY Last Act
Ethan's P.O.V I woke up with Valentina in my arms, her eyes were shut tightly, as she slept peacefully, a smile reached my face, and finally this is everything I wanted. Valentina and I like this, every day. She stirred slightly, and soon enough her eyes flew open, they blinked slightly as she stared back at me. At first two of us, just stared back at each other in silence, and then a small blush creeps on her face, and she tried to disengage from me. "Wait..." I whispered as i pulled her back to my chest, "Where are you going in such a hurry?" "Ethan..." She whispered, i loved it whenever she calls my name like this, she was very embarrassed at the moment, and I wrapped my arms around her. "We can sleep some more." I advised. "N-No..." She muttered again. "I-I need to go home, I need to go to school." "Valentina," I turned her towards me, and she hid her eyes away from my gaze, i held her chin softly and tilted her face slightly until her eyes met mine. "We can't go anywhere u
VALENTINE'S DAY Kisses
Third Person’s P.O.V (Somewhere not so near)“I am telling you this will be a success.” Guillotine said as he closed his laptop shut and he turned towards Maurice his assistant and content editor. “We should be grateful that the reviews are coming back positively tonight.” Maurice answered with a small sigh. “To be honest with you, you are such a terrible writer.” “Oh, no Maurice, don’t do this to me.” He chuckled as he reeled himself in his chair. “Writing is the only thing I know how to do.” “Your writing has been messed up lately, I was becoming concerned for you, I was about to tell the publishers you would need some rest.” Maurice added and Guillotine noticed the sarcasm in the note as well. “But since the newest chapter had been released, the readers and subscription had increased.” “Oh…” He cracked his neck tiredly, he couldn’t care less if there are people reading the book, but one thing interested him tonight. “And the characters likability?” “Um, everyone wants Ethan t
VALENTINE'S DAY Captivity
Valentina’s P.O.VThe doctor said I could go home today, I was getting discharged, and I decided that I was going to quit school and leave home. Once I stepped out of this door now, I would be free, I would try my best to hang on to my life before I disappear completely.I stepped out of the bathroom, and that bastard, Ethan was still in the room, he was sitting on the bed, and speaking to the nurse who came to clean the room. Was it me or his hair had grown a bit longer than usual, well, I shrugged, I didn’t care.Just before I was able to slip out of the room, his voice stopped me.“Valentina,” He got up from the bed and strolled towards me, I turned back and glared at him. “Where are you going?"“I’m going home,” I answered confidently, just being close to him irked me so badly, I knew I had no right to get mad at him for not keeping my secret, but I hated the fact that he was just so carefree about it. “Thank you for the support.”I forced out between clenched teeth but Ethan didn
VALENTINE'S DAY Move in with me
Ethan’s P.O.V“Valentina,” Nathan shouted again, this time even higher than before, it seemed that he was struggling with the security personnel, I withdrew from the bed, and strolled towards the door, I opened it and it was just as I presumed, he was struggling with the security personnel in front of the door. “Let me in, my sister is inside the room, Valentina!”“What is going on here?” I asked curiously as I stepped outside, only then did the security men let go of Nathan, Nathan’s brown eyes shot in my direction, and there was no sign of recognition. He didn’t recognize me, seems like Guillotine took my request into consideration. “Who is this?”I asked feigning ignorance as well, his eyes widened and a hint of recognition hit him.“You are Ethan Lords, right?” He seemed to remember me, but not more than that. “Please tell them to allow me to speak to my sister, I heard she was involved in an accident in the school.”“Of course, come inside,” I answered and the security men nodded
VALENTINE'S DAY Anger and Adoration
Ethan’s P.O.V“I said no, you can’t go home.” I rephrased as I tried to aid her understanding even better. “No matter what you do, you can’t go home unless I allow it.” I finally realized it, I can’t be soft with her, if I do, she would continue to be stubborn, I leaned in her face and she scooted backwards glaring at me. “You will stay here and leave when I allow you to.”“You can’t do that.” She snapped and I smirked. “You don’t even have any right to do this, after what you did to me, do you think I am going to listen to you?”I nodded, before pulling back, tiredly, since I was still anemic I strolled back to the couch and sat down crossing my legs again. Valentina was just too stubborn, once she had set her mind to it, she would it, she didn’t care about reasoning, what she is focused on more is her hatred for me, and there was no talking her out of it.That’s why I have decided for myself. “You have no reason to listen to me,” I shrugged my shoulders, “I will not stop you, but
