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 inRelated chapters
HATE ME Chapter 1
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
HATE ME Chapter 2
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
HATE ME Chapter 3
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
HATE ME Chapter 6
Ray's P. O. VIt's been three days since my weird encounter with that ice cold waitress and honestly I can't stop thinking about her. Her beautiful long dark hair, sad or empty grey eyes and pale skin. Every cell in me just wants to see her again. She even appeared in my dream once although I wouldn't say if it was good one or a bad one.Right now I'm with Stacy and we just finished shopping. Since we were famished we decided to go to a restaurant to have lunch. I was hoping spending time with Stacy will help me forget about Vera but I don't think it helped one bit. My mind kept going back to Vera." Ray.... Are you listening?" Stacy asked for the umpeethnt time. I glanced at her, lost." I'm sorry, but were you saying something?" I asked." Oh my Gosh Ray, you've drifted off again."" I'm sorry.." I apologized." Tell me, what were you thinking about. Maybe I can help." Sh
HATE ME Chapter 7
Vera's P. O. V After a while, I finally leave for my grocery shopping. Putting my hair in a tight bun, I put a hoodie over it and began walking in the direction of the grocery store. All of a sudden I felt different. I felt as though someone is watching me and maybe following me. I stop, turning but find no one that I recognize behind me. I heave a sigh and try to relax. Maybe I'm just being paranoid.I begin walking, but this time I hasten my steps. The feeling comes back and I'm beginning to get scared. I look forward and see the grocery store in sight. The last distance I cover running and rush into the grocery store, panting heavily. I check my hands and realized they are sweating. Calm down Vera, no one's after you, I say to myself. After a few calming breaths, I begin shopping, buying everything on the list. My face is in my hoodie so no one can see me. Once I'm through, I pay for the goods and leave the store.
HATE ME Chapter 8
Vera. It's the morning of the next day. I sat close to the window in my room, staring out of it. Madam Deborah had told me what happened and how Ray rescued me. She also added that if he came around anytime, I should thank him. I sighed hearing that... I mean, I do owe him one, don't I? I wonder how things would have gone downhill if he hadn't come to help. Someone knocks at my door, opening it, and peeks in. I turn around and see it's Madam Deborah. She has a smile on her face and I manage one." Good morning." I greeted, my voice throaty." Good morning to you, too. Are you ready? The shop is open." She informed, coming in a little. I nod a bit, tucking my hair behind my ears." Okay. I'll be down in a minute." I reply. She nods and leaves the room. I stood up from the chair and tying my hair back in a ponytail, wear my necklace and walk out of the room. Another workday waiting for me....
