All Chapters of The Victim : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

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

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

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

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

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
