Couples are dancing, some people are drinking champagne and some of them are just talking. They seemed to be enjoying their nights. But for me? I was just here at the table looking at the champagne glass. I wonder if I will escape or will I escape here? I mean I hate this kind of event. It’s my father and his mistress’ wedding anniversary. Well, she is not hooked because they are married. But I chose to call her that. She is nothing but a slut to my eyes. She didn’t just ruin my family, she also ruined my trust in my father.
Since that night, daddy and I have not talked. I don’t want to talk to him no matter what he does. I entered high school and then graduated without talking to him. That continued until I went to college. And now that I’m already working, there is still no progress. How many years ago? Ten? Twelve? Fifteen? I do not know and I do not care. I only give him a nod. I also rarely let him hear my voice. When I was in college I was in another country, in Russia so we did not meet. They never visited me either, not that I care.
“Amelia!” I suddenly sat up straight and smiled at the lady. Tsk. I want to struggle. This is what I hate in a social gathering the ‘plastic’ of people. Just like the one in front of me now, she used to ignore me. But look at her now.
"Hi, aunt!" I greeted and stood up to kiss her, even though I did not want to. I even went home secretly when I kissed her. I smell plastic too argh?
“How’s work?” she asked me. "It's fine, tiring but I enjoy it," I answered her. I’m now working as a vet. Although I am afraid of snakes and especially dogs. Remember the night the dog chased me? Thank god I went home safely but with my shoes missing. I never went back there either. Going back there means digging my own grave.
“Don't you want to get involved in politics? Like your father? ” she asked me as if he was used to asking others that. I don't know but I suddenly felt bad about what she said. "I'm a sorry aunt, I just have to go to the bathroom, can I?" she looked surprised at what I said. But I remain in my calm posture because I have to be the calm and elegant Amelia all the freaking time. "Sure darling." After she said that I quickly turned around.
Sometimes I do not want to combine ‘politics’ and ‘daddy’ in one sentence. It will just upset my stomach. There were rumors before that mommy's death might have been a foul play and the one behind it was daddy's political opponent. So I don't want to hear that.
I left the venue, smiling at the person I met. Someone else wondered why I was leaving, the event was not over yet but they just kept their mouth shut. The truth is almost everyone in our place is intimidated by me. I do not know, maybe they find my smile weird? Or it’s my piercing eyes? I don’t know.
"And the best actress award goes to Amelia Morgan!" yup that’s my name and yup that’s my friend Roseanne it’s pronounced as (roshani).
I decided to call her earlier because I had someone with me.I rode his trip and pretended to accept the trophy. I still wipe my fake tears. While we were doing that we suddenly laughed. We are like this, crazy people so we get along. Actually, before I met her for about six months maybe, I already told her the happenings of my life. Maybe it's not bad, is it? We are friends and I trust her so I guess it’s okay.“Ice cream?" she asked me. "You only think of food Roseanne," I said with a laugh, she suddenly frowned. She did not want to be called by her full name.
"It's Shan, not Roseanne, it's a flaw to listen to." I just stuck my tongue to her in response so she pretended to be angry and chased me.
"Hey Lia, I have a metal, run girl!" she said like a fool. I, on the other hand, silly ran too. "I have a sword!" I told her laughing.
But she just laughed and chased me again. It was still hard to run because I was wearing heels. We’re like teenagers running in the street. Like fools. I was unaware that I was on my way to the road. I was just shocked when Shan shouted. “Lia! Get out of there!" she says. It turned out that there was a car coming.
It was as if everyone around me was suddenly in slow motion. The approaching car was approaching so I just closed my eyes. I waited to feel pain but nothing.
When I opened my eyes, I suddenly saw a man's face. And worst of all, I hugged him, or it’s not the other way around!“Oh my God! Lia! ” she’s is now running towards us. "Are you okay?" I nodded and let go of the man's tight hug.
I looked at him. "Thank you for saving my life." Even if it’s not worth saving I want to add, but he didn’t replied. He just looked at me. So I coughed to get his attention."You are?" I asked him. To ease the awkwardness. The time before he answered, was he deaf? or mute?
He sneezed before speaking. "I'm Nicolas." He answered in a deep voice. His voice sounds familiar though."Have we met before?" I asked him shamelessly. He shook his head so I nodded.
“Since you save my life! I’m going to treat you! So let’s go? ” I said in an energetic tone to get rid of the heavy atmosphere.The three of us walked together when Shan's cellphone suddenly rang. "I'll have to take this call." she told us and walked away from a little.
“Nicolas right? Where do you live?" I asked and observed him. The truth is I don’t talk to strangers, but he saved my life so I guess he’s an exception.
Shan is done so she comes back to us. "I'm sorry guys but I can't come with you anymore." I was surprised. “Ha ?! I mean why? ” I asked her once dragging.
"Hey, where are we going ?!" I just stopped when I thought we were a little far from the guy. “You’re silly! Why are you leaving me? What if he’s a serial killer ?! ” I asked her nervously.
“You were saved, right? Then he’ll kill you? Your paranoid silly! ”
"How can he do that?" I asked as I looked around at the man who looked laughing. Don’t tell me he hears us? Eh it’s too far!
"You're just there with a lot of people." I nodded at his advice.
"Just when he salvages me and kills me I will haunt you!" she laughed at my choice of words and left.
She even waved. I could do nothing but wave back nervously and think about what would happen next.
I turned to Nicolas. “Hi! Let's go? Sorry, Shan can’t go so it’ll only be the two of us. ” He nodded and pocketed his hands. He’s hot. I give you that. Despite his scary aura. I wonder if she’s got a girlfriend? If he doesn’t, can I apply?When he turned to me, I turned to the other side, we can’t risk the possibility that he’ll be thinking that I was looking at him! He suddenly laughed. "You're cute." He said and my heart suddenly beat but it also immediately disappeared. I smiled awkwardly at him."What do you want to eat?" I asked him even though I feel awkward. Can I just leave him here? "You." He whispered but I did not hear it. "I'm sorry but what is it?" he suddenly coughed and answered. "Whatever." I was confused by what he said. "Ahm… there is nothing on the menu of my favorite restaurant that’s called whatever." I kidded. But he didn't seem to like the joke so I just changed the subject. He&rs
"What is it?" I asked my father as I folded my arms in front of him. I’m already twenty-five and yet here I am acting like a fucking teenager. I was wondering if when will be the time that I’ll be mature. First of all, I don’t want to talk to him and second, it’s still the same."I want you to come home early, if you can make it at six pm then that’s better." I rolled my eyes at him. Oh, so he’s doing his job as a father now? Now that I am old. "And why would I do that?" I asked him, feeling disgusted. I’m a brat and hell I’m not even sorry.“That's all you would say if you just texted or send me a message since technology is there. So we need to use that right? ” I said sarcastically to him. This bond of ours never getting better."Many have been victims of animal attacks." But he just didn't seem to hear my complaints. I am my father's daughter, and well we have the same temperament. I was surprised b
Nicolas.I was just here outside Amelia's clinic, watching her. Creepy, I know but I want to make sure she is safe because we still need her.I know she went to the comfort room but why does she seem to spend so much time there. What is that woman doing there? tsk. I couldn't help but go inside using the window.I opened the door with force and I was shocked to find her lying there, unconscious. I was immediately nervous and tapped her, but she did not wake up. "Fuck." I was just disappointed. I was about to lift her when I heard a car approaching so I turned her around and left using the window.Here I am in the woods, watching Cris lift Amelia. Yup, I know their names even before I met them."See you when I see you, Amelia Morgan." ‘That’s all I said and went home, it was hard for me to catch up with the sun.AmeliaI woke up with a headache. I also can not see anything. Geez, let’s just h
Because I was so curious about who the hell is Nicolas Forbes, I went to their town and to find out that there’s no such person as him. What I met a ghost? A ghost saved me from dying? This is just ridiculous! I mean how is it possible that no Nicolas Forbes lives there? And what’s the purpose of lying? It’s not like I’m going to stalk him now and then.I was so disappointed. I was hoping that I could meet him here. And yeah, I even dressed up. Well, it’s all normal, dressing upright? Geez, there’s no use.I decided to stop by an ice cream store but I remembered Nicolas again so I decided to go with him. But ice cream is tempting so I decided to eat.I was licking the ice cream, savoring its tastiness. Damn, I picked the right flavor. I stopped what I’m doing when I heard someone beside me talked. “Hey, I heard you’re looking for Nico?” I raise my brows at him. And who the hell is this creature? He may
As I was walking I can feel a strong wind touch my cheek. It’s not just a wind I guess? Because I feel like someone just passed in front of me. But because it’s too fast I rarely see it.“Animal huh?” I asked ‘it’ whoever is missing with me. It’s just that I’ve got a feeling that it’s ‘it’. A moment later it already showed in front of me. It’s a man!“W-what you’re n-not an a-animal.” I stuttered.He laughs like a devil and then his eyes became red. Why does that scene so fucking familiar? Instead of running, I stared at him and feel the weight of his deadly stares. “You’re not animal, but observing the girl’s that you’ve killed you’re worst than an animal.” I spat angrily at him but he just stared at me smirking. I tell you, this creature whatever he is, he is so creepy.He advances towards me I stepped back. “You have a lot
A very hard slap welcomed me the moment I set foot on our house. It’s as if dad was so ready to do it. I remained my stoic face while my father is slapping me like crazy. “You insolent brat! How dare you defy my orders!”“What the fuck? I’m old enough to handle myself!” I fired back at him and then he looked angry than before. He was about to pull my hair when Agnes interfere. “Joseph stop it! You&r
Chapter 8: LeftIf zombies exist then I’m probably one of them. Blank mind and walking like a crazy dude, that’s me right now. I’m now here somewhere in our city walking, not minding the people around me. It’s not because I don’t give a damn about them, it’s because my brain can’t handle some shits anymore.I didn’t know that my life could be this hard, this chaotic. My mom used to tell me about fairy tales how it seems to be easy because we aren’t them. And now that I’m on their shoes, I can really say that life is so hard, hard than finding a boyfriend.“Hey! Watch where you’re going!” an angry man shouted and pushed me to the ground. I guessed I bumped into him. I don’t know. I couldn’t care less. I stand up and apologized to the man. “I’m sorry.” I said with no emotion and continued walking.The truth is I don’t know where I’m
