Paige's POV

"Are you okay?" Jace asked concerned. I took a deep breath before turning to look at him contemplating if I should just voice out exactly as I was feeling or let it slide.

"I don't really know" I answered, might as well tell him what the problem is. We were quietly packed in front of the house, it was a few minutes past 6pm meaning Mom would have prepared dinner by now, but a part of me didn't want to go in.

"The incident at the mall with Leon keeps replaying in my head, there was something off about him and this is the third time he's given me this feeling, I had first noticed it at your parent's burial but didn't want to think much about it but now seems like every encounter that we have he always seems to give me worse feeling than the previous one. It was always like this when we first met but it didn't seem like anything to worry about until now" I continued.

"Well, I have always had a very bad feeling about him, Lisa, and you made it see

    Paige's POV"How is Lisa holding up?" Jace asked, finally breaking the silence between us. He had his back to me as he rummaged through his closet probably looking for a short to wear to bed."She is struggling so badly, it hurts to see her this way" I answered putting aside my pride, it was of no use bearing any grudges when he only meant well."I can only imagine, coupled with her pregnancy, it must be really difficult for her," Jace said with quiet empathy."Mum took her to the doctor today, thankfully she and the baby are doing okay" I informed adjusting myself on the bed. I don't know how I ended up here with him in his room given we had just argued a few hours ago."That's good news, we can't risk anything happening to either of them, Brandon would never forgive us" he replied, a satisfied look on his face as he held up a black boxer staring at it like he had finally solved a puzzle he had been struggling with for years."Just put it on already and stop staring at it like you ju

    Paige's POV"Good Morning" I greeted a bright smile on my face as I turned to face an already fully awake Jace."Morning Cupcake, hope you had a good night's rest?" He asked, returning my smile with a much brighter one of his."Yes I did, and you?" I asked back."With you right beside me, why not?" He said with a cocky smile wiggling his eyebrows at me.''Here we go again" I facepalmed."You can keep acting like you don't like it all you want but we both know you do" He stated proudly."Whatever let's you sleep at night" I muttered, sliding the blanket on my body off and placing my feet on the ground so I could san."Uhm..." Jace stuttered holding onto my wrist to prevent me from standing up."What's wrong?" I asked concerned"Nothing is wrong, I want us to talk" He answered, letting go of my wrist as I sat back properly giving him my full attention."Sure, why not" I answered calmly, I knew he had something to say once I woke up to him staring at me so intently in my sleep, it was ob

    Paige's Pov"What do you mean by he's dead? I saw him two days ago at the mall and he was perfectly okay, health-wise at least, he can't be dead" I spoke up once I recovered from my shock."We are yet to find out exactly what happened to him but it looks like a case of suicide" The policeman replied with a look of sympathy."Suicide?" I exclaimed in shock, unable to believe my ears. "Yes ma'am...there was a letter we found at his apartment this morning during our search, the address contained in the letter led us here" the policeman informed me, fishing out an envelope from his back pocket."A letter? Why would he write a letter to me before killing himself?" I asked, whispering the last part to myself."Here, You can take a look for yourself, it is still sealed, we only got the address from the envelope," he said, handing the envelope which I received with shaky hands.I glanced at Jace who stood quietly and shocked behind me, his left hand placed on my waist for comfort. He nodded

    Jace's POVThe silence from Paige was starting to get me really worried. It's been over two hours since the policeman left and yet she just kept staring at the letter without opening it, tears falling from her eyes."You can't tell what it contains without reading it, please I am right here with you whatever it is, you should know it wasn't your fault," I said softly trying to calm her down."You can't be so certain, he tried so many times to reach out especially after I moved in here, he had gone to my old apartment and noticed I wasn't there, and even with all his efforts I still refused to give him this address or even speak to him, at least as someone I consider my friend, he had found out I was living here all by himself and when he visited I sent him away like I didn't know him, he had his issues yes but he didn't deserve the way I treated him" She cried out, clutching tightly to my shirt."Please, stop with the blame, Paige, you just said he had his issues.

    Paige's POV"Is that all?" I asked, sniffling as I glanced up to look at him. "No, I just need a minute" He replied in a blank voice, a look I couldn't read on his face.Taking Another deep breath, he continued before I could say anything else or ask about it," I am sure you are quite confused right now but I am quite sure if you keep going you will understand. After you left I finally decided within myself that no matter what once I see you again I will take my chances without hesitation. I had regretted keeping quiet all those years waiting for some stupid opportunity when I could have created one, so many moments I could have used, but a part of me knew I hesitated because of guilt" Guilt? "I couldn't forgive myself for watching everything that she did to you every single day without trying to help, my fear of losing my job was greater than my conscience and it still kills me over and over anytime I think about how foolish I was to have let it go on for so long.

    Paige's POVIt's two months and two weeks today, since the incident and Brandon has still not moved a muscle. I could see Lisa losing herself slowly as she watched him by his bedside nonstop, morning, afternoon, night.She would just sit, watch and cry, nothing anyone said to her made any difference,it is like she has lost her grip. She only bothers to take her drugs and do the necessary checkups to ensure her baby is growing properly, even her feeding has become very poor despite all we have said to get her to eat. It is like life just stopped for her and I can't do anything about it.His condition was now affecting everyone, even Jace has become a shadow of himself. It is like everyone was slowly losing the hope they had once had Although he doesn't know that I know but I am usually awake when he sneaks out of our room at night, He would sit by himself for hours crying and blaming himself then he would sneak back in by morning before anyone else wakes up .

    Unknown's POV"Ahh, the sweet smell of victory is already knocking on the door" I laughed out in despair. "Don't you think so too, dearest?" I asked, smirking as I placed the tip of the blade on her neck."You are really a psycho" she spat out in a strong voice but the fear in her eyes betrayed her."I know, I know, you are so lucky I still need you around or I would have taken your head off for trying to defy me" I chuckled, the sickly smell of blood all around me fuelling my spirit."Fuck you" She shot, deep hatred buried in her orbs."Gladly Sweetheart" I smirked, turning my attention slowly to her little partner."But you on the other hand are very much of no use to me right now and since you decided to work with this little bitch here to lie to me, you will take the punishment for the both of you " I sneered walking closer to where he was tied up on the chair."Please, it doesn't have to be this way, I could try again, he is still unconscious anyways" He begged tears

    Paige's POVEmpty...Blank...Peaceful... those were the feelings that came with the darkness and oh does it feel so good. I could make out hushed voices but the more I listened the louder they became."What do you mean she fainted?" A very familiar voice yelled, panic and fear in his voice."I don't know, one minute we were working and the other minute she was on the ground" another voice spoke up this time, a more feminine voice."This is fucked up and the doctor hasn't said anything yet?" A voice yelled again, sounding closer and more familiar with each word."No, not yet, he said something about her lab results coming in" the other voice replied. "They can't just leave us here in silence, I'm going to find out what's wrong" I could finally make out who had the louder voice, it was Jace, so I guess the other voice should belong to Mum, why did he sound so scared, am I dead? ~~~~I let out a groan as a sharp pain shot up my spine, the dis
