Elena’s Pov;You are my universe. And I wont let you feel any pain. This line is just enough to melt a frozen heart.Stirring in the bed, my eyes slowly fluttered open, a white ceiling coming in-contact with my eyes.Light snores filled up the room. Tilting my head, I saw Elias sitting on the chair, his fingers entangled were with mine.I gulped at the sudden wave of fear that flashed against my skin.My erratic heartbeat displayed on the monitor beside me which beeped loudly.Instantly Elias shot up from his seat, his eyes landing on my stiffened body. “Hey, hey baby, it’s alright, you’re okay.” His hands caressed my hair gently making me calm down.“Yes, just like that. Breathe. Slowly.” He cooed, placing a kiss on my forehead.The foreign feeling once again attacked my stomach. My body felt odd, but in a good way.My heartbeat had approached its normal speed, making me sigh in response. Parting my cracked up lips, I croaked out in a broken way, “W-Wat..er."Immediately getting up,

3rd pov;A week had passed by since Elena was admitted in the hospital.She had refused to speak to anyone regarding her scars and her life. She had lied perfectly through her teeth that she was clumsy as hell and she often got herself hurt. Cliché, isnt it?All she wanted was to drown in her sorrows.The once torment filled girl had nothing left but agony.Elias tried too make her feel comfortable but the emotions had overflowed within her, left her squirming.Even he was conflicted.Today she was gonna go back to the mansion. There was no such place as home.“Elena, are you ready?” Damien asked the girl who blankly gazed out of the window. She nodded, absentmindedly. “Lets go then.”They both strided out, towards the entrance. Elias had already left yesterday and now it was her turn waiting for time to pass by, like always. She could give a thousands reasons for it.The sky was painted in grey. The chilly breeze that flew by, left a trail of goosebumps on her exposed arms. She misse

3rd pov;Let it all out.Sadness and anguish, everything.It had been raining for hours now. The steady patter of water against the windows had been producing a continuous tap sound. It was supposed to be a full moon tonight but it felt as if the sky was pouring the sorrow out of it.Elena's eyes fluttered open. Her back ached from the crooked position she was in. Standing up with great difficulty, she finally strided towards the windows. Grabbing the knob, she yanked it open only to feel a piercing gust of harsh blowing wind mixed with droplets of water pass through her clothed body, showering her already miserable frame with a fresh deluge. Wiping the water from her eyes with a wet sleeve, she tucked a lock of her dull hair behind her ear. A small smile appearing on her face.She loved the darkness from the clouds. The refreshing smell of the mud and grass entered her nostrils leaving her intoxicated as ever. She watched the fat raindrops roll down the railing of her balcony. Placi

3rd Pov;She was hiding in the blue. Wishing that she could be found but the branches had her trapped deep down where the voices were never heard.In the middle of the night, Elena woke up with an extreme headache. Her skin was hot and flushed. The arteries in her neck became noticeable as the pulse raised due to the erratic heart rate.The immense dryness on her lips cracked the thin layered flesh.Her burning body tempting her to stand under the heavy rain until she cooled down. With intense difficulty she got up, only to get bumped straight into a wall---infront of her. A loud groan left her mouth as she steadied herself on her numb feet. Her heavy ragged breathing had her pushing towards a panic attack.Slowly she walked until she reached the door. Grabbing the door knob, she opened it. Her eyes fluttering close as the time passed by.Her body felt numb.Everything seemed blurry.Her head was spinning due to the ache that was travelling around like a rollercoaster.Elena searched

3rd pov;Multiple running memories that fades and dissolves, leaves a painful impact on the soul. There is nothing that can be done. All we can do is blame. Blame on the mind that flows in the direction of the repetitive scenery.Thus that’s how the movie is replayed whenever the button is clicked.The two Melani brothers stayed with Elena the whole night. Their hearts ached for the their little sister who whimpered and silently cried throughout her sleep. Her nightmares reappearing before her eyes like a broken film once again.Elias stepped outside his room. His feet lead him to the dining area. The family sat conversing with each other whilst having their breakfast. Ryder gave him a small smile to which he returned him one. Taking a place next to Lucifer, he grabbed a toast.“Elias honey, your coffee.” Maddie said, sliding the mug to him. His face void of any emotions but inside he was seething from anger. Ignoring her, he continued to eat the slice of baked bread. “Elias? Why are

3rd pov;The light in your eyes starts to fade away as the days pass by. Will you cry for yesterday? Or will you run away and strengthen up your feelings?The simple answer for Elena was; she would run away and pour the feelings in. Those little bottled up emotions gave her strength as she fought with them.It was her against the whole world. It was better to die off alone.The mental sickness caused by those voices led her to take her own life once.The twelve year old girl who was supposed to live happily was dreading to go outside and face the wedding of her non-existent mother.Today was the day they all were going to become a family. But for her, the word---family, was just a facade.Mere fakeness.The lies, she was told by him seemed to become true today.Standing infront of the mirror, she checked herself for the hundredth time. A violet knee length dress descended down, pairing it with the same colored pumps. She wore her hair down, blackish brown and long. For the secondth t

Elena’s pov;Daughter...What an odd word. Never in a millions years I thought I would hear this specific word which gave me butterflies in my stomach. Bitchy butterflies, go away. Sighing, I bit my lip to escape the weird situation. It felt, I was in some kind of auction.“You aren’t my daughter. Just a human brought to this world by Jason Kim---my ex.” The mother hissed at her six years old daughter. “B-But.” “Stop bothering me, isn't it enough I’ve provided you a caretaker?” What the mother didn't knew that she had dragged her towards the monster itself. Nudging me from behind, Elias looked at me with an unknown emotion that I couldn't decipher out. “She is Maddie's daughter and now mine to cherish as well.” Damien said with love in his voice.Mine too cherish.. How fascinating. I scoffed inwardly at the ‘way too real act’ he was portraying. Or was he actually serious? “She no where looks like Maddie's, she looks very.. different---adopted?” An elderly women spoke with curios

Elena’s pov;Life is sometimes very unpredictable. You never know what can happen unless you get the whiff of it beforehand.Some people mourn over it. Yet some stay neutral, thinking it was what God had planned for them. But for me I was just playing with my life at this point. Nothing mattered to me. It was as if I was numb to all the feelings. An hour had passed since mother dearest left the room. I didn't had the courage to get up and go back to the wedding arena. The pounding within my head was slowly withering away leaving the dullness behind.Life teach us a lot of things we don't actually know. As we grow, we slowly start to think deeper and deeper. I could hear hustling behind that locked door. Will they ever consider thinking about me? Or was I that worthless?Leaning back, my fingers shot up to my forehead, feeling the dent and a huge scratch. The cracked ridges felt good under my skin. The first ever injury mother caused me. A crazy smile made its way on my face as I sc
