Vera.
" What are you doing?!" I asked, my heart pounding. staggering away from him, I tried it steady my nerves. He had a shocked look on at first but quickly sobered up. " What does it look like I'm doing? Kissing you." He leaned in again but this time I pushed him away, standing on my feet. " I don't why you keep forcing this Jeff. I told you I'm not ready." The shock on his face melted to reveal a hidden anger. " It's been 5 years!" He shot back. " I'm sorry, I just can't do it. I can't." I replied, avoiding his gaze. I didn't realize how close he was until I looked up. " Are you seeing someone else?" He asked calmly, but I couldn't help but shudder at the tone of his voice. "N-no of course not!" I replied, shaking my head. He held me still and tried to kiss me again. I struggled this time around, eage(Few days later)Vera.Standing beside Commander Snake, I tried to pay attention to what he was saying as I kept getting distracted. There was a new mission on ground and just like the others, it was all high profile. Unlike the others where would meet the victim in his home or hotel, this one was going to take place in a party so we need to be extra careful Commander Snake gave a list of instructions and things we should watch out for and once he was done, dismissed us. From the corner of my eyes, I watched as Jeff and Kira walk away, chuckling at something one of them said. Lately, Jeff's been hanging out with Kira. Not that I'm jealous but it has gotten to a point where I'm beginning to think they're doing it on purpose because Jeff ignores me whenever I try to talk to him. Normally, I would leave him alone but today I couldn't, I really need to talk to him.Walking up towards them and tapped Jeff lightly on the shoulder. He stopped but didn't turn, only swiveled h
Vera." Are you really going to kill him?" I asked Jeff moments later Commander Snake had left the room." If Commander Snake says we should do it, then we do it." He replies, not looking at me. The ache in my heart gets worse." What if..." I began, stopping myself. Taking a deep breath, I started again. " What if he didn't rat out on us? Won't we be taking an inncoents life?" Jeff looked at me then. " An inncoents life? He saw Ava. Didn't you see that? Why won't he rat out on us?!" I pursed my lips, looking at everywhere but him. Jeff walked closer, stopping inches in front of me. " By the way Ava, why did you freeze up the way you did? You know him somewhere?" He asked and flinched a bit, placing my hands on my throat. It was at the tip of my tongue to lie, but I knew I would never get away with it if I did." Yes... I do." I whispered." More the reason he should be dead." Jeff replied without a moments hesitation. Then turned, walking away.
Ray.I stared at the figure before me, too shocked to speak. Surely, my mind must be playing tricks on me, because this looks too real to be true. Isn't Vera dead? The figure stared at me, moving closer. I resisted the urge to take a step back. She pulled her hoodie off, taking in a deep breath." Didn't think we'd meet this way..." She muttered rather dryly, her lips twitching. I took a step forward." Is this really you?" I asked, disbelief still evident in my voice. She nodded. " Am I really speaking to you?" I asked again. She nodded again. I scoffed, still not being able to wrap my head around it." You're not dead?" " No."" How can it be!? How's it possible? I thought you were dead!" I muttered." Well, I'm not." " If you're not dead, why didn't you show yourself years ago!!" I yelled, unable to keep still anymore." Now's not the time to explain. I came for another reason." She replied, her voice still painfully calm. I took in
Vera. He crawled into my room ever so stealthily, careful not to make any noise but I still heard him. And I shivered knowing what he was about to do. This isn't the first time he'll make an attempt to try and sleep with me and everytime I resisted him. Sometimes it'll end in a brawl with some wounds and scars which he hid so perfectly from his wife so he wouldn't find out what he was up to. Why can't he understand that I can't let him into my pants? Just why!? So I stayed still, to give him the impression that I was still asleep meanwhile I was wide awake and aware of each and every move he made. He finally got the bed and in a yank pulled the sheets off. My heart did a summersault. His hands went straight beneath my pyjamas and I swallowed a scream. I know my life would be better if I just let him know do what he wants to do but for some reason I can't, my body never cooperated with my mind and I couldn't understand why
Empty. It's the only word I can use to describe the streets I walk in. The only sound I hear, is the occasional hoot of an owl which was nearby, adding to the eerie. I shuffled along, skipping over stagnant waters, and using the lights before me to lead the way. The cold wind wisped around me, making me grip my body tighter. I was shivering, my teeth clattering, but I dare not stop walking. It's just a matter of time before I get to the city. Paranoia fills me and I begin to look around me, having thoughts that someone might be following me. But it's all in my head. I finally get on the streets that are lit by night lamps and keep walking. This is usually the most dangerous part of town because dangerous people hide beneath the shadows, waiting for the next hapless people to fall into their trap and I just might be one of them. My pace quickens and so does my breath. It doesn't take long before I break into a run…. And o
It's the early hours of the morning and I'm twisting and turning on the tiny bed. It's the same nightmares, they never end. It all begins with a car crashing into another, everywhere bloody and nobody surviving and it doesn't end there then a woman is crying bitterly, maybe she's the wife of the deceased and two girls comforting her, Their faces blurry so I can't recognize them, after that, gunshots and a young lady sprawled on the hard floor with a man above her and some more waiting in line. It's all so nauseating and sickening I want to open my eyes but they are sealed shut and am jerking on the bed. Just before I wake up, I feel myself been thrown off a cliff and landing with a splash into the icy sea, and boom everything blacks out... I think I'm dead. Until I feel a pair of hands shaking me roughly and I realize I'm still alive. I slowly open my eyes and, of course, they are tear-filled with beads of sweat forming and
(Three years later) Ray's P. O. V My phone beeping wakes me up. It's not even my alarm. I groan and, half-awake, use my hand to feel and take my phone, which is on the bedside table. Unlocking it, I find out it's a message. From David. David: Last night was a blast!! Let's do it again today. There's a new resort opening at Florida bay, we can hang out there, close to the sea. It'll be fun. Waiting for your reply. I let out a small smile. Fully awake now, I send him a quick reply. Ray: Okay... Whatever you say. I get out of my king-sized bed, stretched my body. Running my hands through my shaggy hair, I let out a small groan. I had better take those hangover pills. Picking myself up, I shuffle into the bathroom and clean myself up. Once I'm through, I step out of the room down the stairs to the dining area where my mum is always in. The na
Ray's P. O. V It did take some time, but I eventually found a shop that was still open. It looked like a restaurant and very few people in it. Walking briskly, I crossed the road and walked into the shop, jingling a bell as the door opened. Everyone seemed to be minding their business as no one paid attention to the new customer. I walked over to bartender and after exchanging pleasantries, stated my reason for coming here. She offered to help but told me I had to wait a wile my phone was still charging. " No problem ma'am. Thanks by the way." I said and nodded. " You're welcome. Would you like anything while you wait?" " Sure. A glass of whisky doesn't sound bad right about now" I replied. She poured me a glass and passed it to me. I nodded and took a sip. " I'll leave you here. I have some things to attend to," she said
