DANZEL POV:The jog back to my apartment was quick. My thoughts kept drifting to the girl who is Angelina but is totally in denial. I was confused that whether it was her anger that she was lying or my subconscious was faking. Because no matter how blank her expression was, I could feel her, she can keep laying all she wants but I cannot fall for her trap.She was mine and I was going to win her back, by hook or by crook.I was in my gym, working out a bit when I heard my phone ringing. Huffing out a large puff of air, I walked outside.It was Creed calling."Hello," I said."Danzel" his voice was breathless and panicked which made me straighten up knowing it was bad news."What's wrong?" I inquired."It's Ethan, he ran away.""What?!" I yelled getting up from my bed."I saw him yesterday. He was there but when I went back today morning, he wasn't there. I don't know how but he escaped.""What the fuck do you mean he escaped? I gave you one job to do, in any case, don't fuck let him g
ANGELINA POV:My eyes kept staring at the people walking down the street. From the looks on their faces, they seemed pretty happy. There were a few similar faces in the park. They caught my eyes and waved. I waved back smiling brightly so my tear-stained face wasn't visible to them. They haven't known what had happened to me, they are unaware of the fact that I am nothing but a broken girl, a girl with no soul, no emotions left inside her hollow heart. I was no longer the person I used to be, not after last year.I remember every single thing that happened with me, every single day in my life still runs through my mind. No matter how much I try to forget, it seems my mind wants me to remember. It wants me to remember the girl I once was, the girl I am now.I remember waking up in a hospital room. The brightness and the white walls of the room made me shut my eyes and then after a few moments of blinking, I finally opened them. Unfamiliar heaviness felt along my head when I tried to mo
ANGELINA POV:"Why didn't you let me die?"I stared at him with tears continuously flowing from my eyes. I didn't bother to wipe them off or anything. My head felt heavy and my eyelids were shutting on their own but I kept them open. I wanted to know why he didn't run himself and save his life."Why didn't you?" I whispered lowering my gaze."I couldn't leave you there. You were my patient and I couldn't leave you there to die," he answered."You could leave me there," I muttered."But I didn't."We both stayed silent, not uttering a word to each other. I didn't know what to say so I kept staring at my fingers and I guess he was waiting for me to ask something.My mind didn't wander off to all the things that had happened, nor did it think about the guy I fell in love with, in fact, it was blank. My thoughts were blank, and so was my heart. Empty, void of any emotions it could ever have experienced."Angelina?""Hmm?" I looked at Peter."You should rest. You have done lots of talking
ANGELINA POV:The next day, we headed to the airport. I was still on my wheelchair so Peter had to do everything. As the plane started leaving the ground, I felt the familiar pit in my stomach the first time I had traveled. Memories of that day flooded my mind; my first flight was with Danzel. After knowing that it was my first time in the air, Danzel had distracted me by placing feather-like kisses all over my jaw and neck. A shiver rang through my body at the memory of his lips against my skin. Not wanting to cry anymore, I shook my head getting rid of his thoughts. I was now leaving this country, along with everything behind, the people, the haunting incidents, the happy memories, and the terrifying moments. I was not going to think about it or at least try to not think about it. I know it would be difficult but I didn't have any choice. I couldn't sit and cry over what had happened to me. And no matter how much my heart desired I wouldn't go back to the person who left me there in
ANGELINA POV:"What?" I stared at him disbelievingly. He closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them again. Battling with words, he spoke with calmness in his voice,"Yes, I want you to go and see a therapist.""You think-you think, I am mad?" I said shifting away from him.He widened his eyes at my outburst and shook his head furiously."No-no, I don't- I would never! Angel, you are taking my words in the wrong way." He said."That's what you said, you told me to go see a therapist. You are implying that I am mentally unstable." I said blinking away the tears threatening to surface above.13"No, I am not saying that." He said moving closer and holding my hands and said, "You are having panic attacks, aren't you? And then nightmares are terrifying you day by day. You are always closed off. I understand if you don't want to speak to me but at least speak to someone who might help you get rid of them.""I don't want any help. I can manage it myself." I snapped."I know you can but
Surprise, surprise! ;)I decided to get rid of a little sleep and write down one more chapter for all my amazing and lovely readers! At first, I thought about writing a small one but then one word led to another, and well, you know, here goes the update!ANGELINA POV:My eyes blurred off the people I was pushing and making my way through. I ran, not caring about the heels piercing my ankles, and the pain shot through them. My heart thumped loudly in my ears when my brain tried to assure me that it was my hallucination and not the real man. Some part of my conscious brain knew that the sudden stunt I had done back thereby stopping in the middle of the speech and running like a mad woman will surely end me in trouble but I couldn't care less. It was like the time when you see your death and your life both standing in front of you staring at you, looking at you in the eyes with the same intensity that'd make you die of suffocation and also fill your lungs with fresh air.I didn't know w
ANGELINA POV:That evening I decided to go back to my apartment and forget about what happened or think about what was about to happen. Danzel hadn't returned in search of me since the fundraiser incident. Even though I was too scared to leave Peter's apartment and had myself house arrested, Peter said he didn't see Danzel anywhere. So then I decided to get back to my normal life, or maybe get back to the life I was pretending to live normally.The next day I went jogging alone because Peter had a date last night. He was moving on which was a good sign. After he had told me about his feelings for me, I was unsure about how to act in front of him anymore. It was the guilt I tried to suppress every time I looked at him and realize that no matter what he has done for me or no matter how grateful I am for that, I can never love him or anyone. I was never the morning jogging type of girl. I was always the one who'd love to sleep even when half of the world has already begun their day. I re
Angelina's POV:"Why the fuck are you still wearing sweatpants?" Jo's said angrily and then pushed past me."Stop swearing, Jo." I sighed and closed the door."You aren't even fucking dressed!" She exclaimed ignoring my last sentence."It's fine, I will be ready in a minute," I said waving her off."You get naked in one minute. Getting ready requires a lot of time." She said walking into my bedroom.To be honest, I had totally forgotten about our plans. When I came home this afternoon, I sat by the window staring at nothing particular. My thoughts were revolving around what happened in the café. Danzel was all I could think about. I relished in the feeling of letting my heart beat in its own rhythm, letting my mind think whatever it wants to, letting my heart desire whoever it wants to. I was all by myself and no one was there to see me and so I didn't have to pretend to be okay and normal. Instead, I did the exact opposite of normal. I sat like an insane person in one position which
