VINCENT. “She’s in there.” I looked ahead at the building before all of a sudden, my phone started to ring in my pocket. The sheriff alongside everyone else almost installed darted their eyes back at me. I pulled my phone out and looking at the screen, a chill went up my spine.“It’s him” My heart stomped, seeing Diablo’s name across the screen. Davis and the sheriff raced backwards as I answered the call. “How does he know we’re here?” Davis was the most worried now, even Lily just stood at a distance with her arms crossed in front of her.“Shuu” I gestured. Across the phone screen, it was pitch black for the first few seconds but that was before we heard a shrill cry in the background. I would know her voice from a mile away—Summer.“Diablo!” I gritted through my teeth. “So you’ve fallen right into my trap huh?” Although we couldn’t see him or anything, we heard his voice. “Leave the girl alone. It’s me you want!” I muttered.“Oh Vincent, sweet naive Vincent. Because I have your l

DAVIS.The corridors inside the building was well intertwined and dark. Barely any lights were working, about half of them flickered, a pattern which we followed until we got to the stairs. Then both Vincent and I came to a halt.“Which way now?” I lifted my eyes and the walls echoed by my words. “I doubt he’s taken her upstairs” He replied. It was completely dark up there, not even a twitch or a flicker.“He always talked about a basement around here. I’ve got to find it” He took his feet, scavenging his pocket for a torchlight. “Well I’m going to head upstairs, you stay here” I croaked. Vincent immediately stood to his feet, he turned back to me.“You really want to split up, now?” He asked and honestly, I just didn’t want to be anywhere near him now. I was beyond furious each time I thought about his hands on my daughter. Vincent was a mess and as much as he was my friend, we were nothing alike. He was bad news, nonchalant and reckless most of the time and this just proves my eve

LILY.SEVEN MONTHS LATER.I sat in that chair, opposite Dr Max. For a moment, the room was silent up until Davis came rushing in through the door. He was drenched in the rain and as he sat beside me, he heaved a deep sigh.“I’m sorry I’m late” He panted. “It’s in the middle of Spring and I don’t get why it rains everyday now” Davis shrugged and our counselor only let a light scoff. “Well I’m glad you’re both here” Dr Max folded his arms.I glanced at Davis and then at his outstretched arms before a hard lump went down my throat. We’d decided some months back that we were willing to give this another shot—but only after some thorough marriage counseling. And I could’ve sworn before that this was what I wanted.But as I sat in that chair, so much had already happened and I wasn’t so sure anymore. “So,” Dr Max cleared his throat. “How have you been? Trying to cohabit with each other once again?”“Especially with the baby around” He added and I sighed. “Lily, you go” I lifted my eyes to f
His Dirty Little Secret Chapter 1: Summer.
SUMMER."Summer would be great!" My mum Lily said, peeking above the newspaper in her hands. I let out a groan, sticking the spoonful of cereal into my mouth. It was not the first time she'd said that, neither was it the second nor the third."It would be great back here, in New York where I know and with you" I rolled my eyes to the back of my head and now, she had already placed the newspaper to the table. "It just seems like you're desperately trying to get rid of me now" I cowered my head and only then did my mum rise to make her way towards me."Hey hey" She called, sitting in the chair next to mine and she reached for my hands. The cereal in front of me was abandoned as I looked to her. Her bright blue eyes gleamed and her hair was perfectly tucked behind her ears, she did the same to mine."I would never get rid of you" Lily assured. "You know I would have told your father no if I didn't think it was best, for you even" She whispered and my heart lumped in the back of my throat

SUMMER.I didn't know why my mum named me Summer up until a few weeks ago. Drunk on merlot, she had told me the truth. Besides it being her most favorite time of the year ever since she was a teenager, it was the time she met the dad.The Summer of '02, this green eyed gorgeous surgeon resident that happened to show up at the hospital. He captivated the eyes of almost everyone, with his blonde hair and his charismatic smile that could light up a room—everyone including my mother. But with the million eyes on him, his was set on just one. And for the many years after that, their eyes would gleam for the thousand and one times that they told that story, that it was love at first sight. And hearing it the very first time was what cemented what love was to me.It was a love like theirs, a love I was sure would last forever. But then the summer of 2014 came and it only got worse after that, eventually they decided to divorce and that idea of love that I once had shattered.It was almost l

SUMMER.I pushed myself through the bathroom door, slamming it right behind me. And only when I leaned against it, left alone in the dark could I finally heave a deep breath. My hands clutched my chest and I feel my erratic heartbeat jackhammering against my rib cage.My skin was flustered pink and my cheeks were boiling. The hand which he held was still quivering so much that I had to hold still to the bathroom sink. I leaned forward, washing my face beneath the tap before looking into the mirror.What was this feeling and why was it so suddenly overwhelming?I mean this was Vincent, this was my father's best friend and up until this moment, I didn't see him as more than that. As sort of like an uncle figure which he was. Calling me often asking me about school and my dreams and everything and during the divorce, we might have spoken a lot more often but it was never about something other than the ordinary.The normal.This was abnormal.He was on the brink on turning forty and here

SUMMER.The rays of sunshine burst across my face once the room blinds opened and I jerked to the side with a groan escaping my lips. Even before I opened my eyes, I knew it was my father."Hello Sunshine" He clamored with as much morning glee as he could garner while I desperately held unto the few seconds of sleep that still hung heavy unto my eyelids. But then he sat into the bed, weighing the mattress down and almost sending me flying.A sudden movement like that was more than enough to rid the sleep from my eyes. I rubbed them, shooting him a death glare but Davis has a large grin across his face. He was already dressed in khaki cargos and a hat strapped to his chin. "Are you ready for today?" He asked and I arched my brows. "What is happening today?" Truly dumbfounded, I threw the question back to him."We were supposed to go into the city, I hired a tour guide and everything. Me, you and Taylor. And Vincent only that he cancelled on me just now" He scoffed with a gritty tone b

SUMMER."Hmm this is so nice" I bit into the slice of taco, a splurge of cheese sticking to the corner of my lips. And Vincent, on the opposite end of the table couldn't refrain himself from laughing. I knew whenever he did, there was probably wrong with something on my face."What is it?" I groaned, after only shyly agreeing to share the table with him. I knew I was right to have been worried about eating in front of him and all he'd done in the past half hour was constantly prove my point and roll my eyes to as far back in my head that it almost became permanent.He took a bite of his so delicately that it barely left a mark and I scoffed at his childish flaunting. "But it really is delicious" I added, letting my eyes gaze up to the name of the restaurant at the heart of Oregon. "Taco here is unbeatable compared to any other place" Vincent praised."Excuse me." I clamored, even though he could have been right but my biggest mistake would be me admitting to that. "I mean you already
