CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
Elena stared at the ceiling she had been staring at for the past one hour.
She laid on her bed, resting her head on her tears soaked pillow. She was exhausted. She was tired.
She felt alone. She had never felt that way in her whole life. She and Luke never fought. They disagreed on trivial matters but never actually got angry at each other.
"Elena, it's time for dinner," Lily said to her. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," she sniffled. "I'm not hungry, thanks."
Lily looked at her for a while before replying. "Okay, take care of yourself."
"Mhm mhm."

She exhaled at the familiar sight of bubbles floating on the screen.
Daniel: Hey. What happened?
Daniel: How are y

I even paid for your trip to Ireland so you could keep an eye on her and in return?""I'm sor...sorry," June managed to say, choking as a result of Conor's strangling. He let go of her, pushing her to the floor.June rubbed her neck as she kept on coughing. She tried to cover her mouth knowing the sound of her cough would only anger Conor more."I'm sorry.

"You should have warned me to prepare myself for an episode of your fangirling.""Well, I didn't know Bighit was going to drop another MV for black swan," she replied, her eyes still fixed on the phone.

Elena winced. "Ow, my head," she groaned in pain as she looked around. Where was she? She looked around again. It was wide room with small windows covered by dirty curtains, making it suffocating. The paint on the wall was faded, different stains and marks plastered to it. There was a wooden table and chair at the corner of the room, several empty crates, bottles and cigarettes box laying carelessly around. It looked like an old abandoned room. She tried to move immediately realizing her hands were tied. She wiggled, trying to free her legs that were tied too. She tried to remember how she got there but instead her terrible headache reminded her of its presence. "Oh my God," she whispered on realizing what had happened to her. She was kidnapped! Tied up and locked in a strange room too. "Oh my God, June!" She yelled as she spotted June laying lifelessly on the floor few inches away from

I am Conor Richards. We’re family, don’t worry. You’re my wife’s niece.”True. “Where is Luke? Where did you keep Luke?!”“Keep your voice down, girl.

"How are you feeling now?""I have a light headache," Elena replied, trying to get up. "Where's Luke and June?""I'll be right back. I'll inform the doctor and your relatives that you're awake."Few seconds after she left, the door flew open revealing Sister Gemma, Daniel and his parents."Babe," Daniel called out as he rushed towards her to pull her into a hug.

"Thanks for the meal.""Don't mention it."Silence filled the room again as they all ate breakfast."So, Lucas," his dad began, breaking the silence. "What exactly happened?"Luke dropped his cutlery. He looked at Elena and then his dad."I was on my way back to Amigo after meeting a friend," Luke replied. "Then a dude attacked me and then...yeah."Eyebrows were knitted, faces were scrunched."But why?" his mum asked. "Did you by any chance know that man? I mean, why were you kidnapped? Who has something against you?""Um...it's..." Luke stuttered, looking at Elena. "No, I have no idea who or why he did it.""Oh?" she arched an eyebrow. "Are you sure?""Yeah," Luke replied.

Elena ran faster than her legs could carry her. She had been running since Kevin broke the good news to her- she ran to his car and now to June's room. She pressed the number in the elevator continuously making the other occupants stare at her weirdly. She couldn't care less as she impatiently waited for the elevator to arrive on the fourth floor. She pulled the door open, revealing June standing, gazing out of the window. "June!" She ran towards her, immediately pulling her into a hug. She hugged her tightly like she was scared she'd disappear. "I was so scared. I missed you so much. Why did you have to take the bullet? God, I was so worried." They held each other for a while before pulling away. "It's okay. I'm the one who's to be sorry." "You've said that so many times already," Elena said. "How are you?" "I'm fine," June groaned. "I just
