The Victim 58| perfect daughter
S E R I N EFor the first time since today, I heard the words that I actually fell in love with. "You're free to go," The man says as I internally jump for joy. Of course there was no way that I'd actually be physically jumping because my body was in absolute pain.I find myself side by side with Levine to the outside. "Hey uh!""When am I getting out?" Kelly yells. The officer sighs, locking the gate. "Soon," and then she walks off. Her eyes then land on me, I smirk."It's what she deserves," Levine mutters. I can practically hear her smirking. "Byee," I mock her, rolling my eyes slightly. Turning my heel and walked my way out the station. The fresh air connected with all the exposed parts of my skin but I didn't care. It wasn't cold. From the view of the sky, I could tell it was getting late though, I just didn't know what time it was.A black SUV pulls up and I recognize it due to the last digits of the plate number. They really could've come with a much smaller car, but okay. The
The Victim 59| task
S E R I N EI was in blood.My legs and arms were covered in blood.I ran.So fast.So fast. As far as my legs could possibly take me. There was someone- or something, that was chasing after me. I didn't know what it was. I didn't look back. Afraid of what I may see. Until my feet touched more than one thorn, I collapsed to the ground, reaching for my foot as I cried out in pain.My heart was racing out of my chest. I could hear my own heart beat as I inhaled and exhaled deeply. I was sweating and the feeling of blood on my skin wasn't helping. I panted and all the energy I had, had vanish. I needed somebody to help. It was like I was meant to step on that thorn. Like I couldn't actually escape.Like I didn't deserve to."Kill me already! Kill me!" I yelled at the person or thing that was chasing me. "I don't wanna suffer anymore. I'm tired of trying so hard to be the perfect daughter. The person that can deal with anything- I'm dead inside!" I choked once I said the last three wo

S E R I N E"I'm coming,""Can we all come?" I release a huge sigh. "Guys, I can handle this on my own," I say for the hundredth time. I was currently on FaceTime with these people who had the stupid idea of calling me.I mean, who still calls?"I genuinely feel like she's not over the fact that we called her,""You think?""Oh get over it," Levine rolls her eyes. "Look who's talking," She then smiles innocently and I shake my head in return. "When is the... you know, coming?""Round about in five or so. I just wanna get this assignment over and done with honestly.""Same," They both say. "At least you guys have better partners," I say."Excuse me? I have Amber," she says as a matter of factly. "Oh yeah,""Well Nina, seems like you got the best out of all of us," She then shrugs. "Well anyways, I have to go. I'm gonna need those five minutes of preparation,""Call if anything,""Yup! Right across the street boo,"I smile lightly. "Ciao," I hang up. I silently stare at the ceiling as
The Victim 61| feelings
A N G E L OIt's been an hour and she had not answered.Delivered but not read."You keep checking phone... expecting someone?" I look up to the source of the voice and sigh when I do. "She hasn't answered?" I shake my head, tiredly."She's probably busy," My eyes lock with hers. Not believing what had just come out of her mouth. Instead of her trying to drag her name into the mud, she was doing the opposite. This must be some joke. "Look I won't pretend that I like her. We all know that's true but I am a girl at the end of the day. Don't worry about it,""And since when have you sided with her?""Oh no trust me, I'm not siding with her. I'm just trying to ease your mind a bit," I arch my brow at this. "Why?"She shrugs. "I don't know exactly but Angelo," her voice goes softer. "I'm not as bad as you think I am. I have feelings too.""I'm only human,"***I feel uneasy as I see myself in front of the f
The Victim 62| love hurts
L E V I N E[Flashback]He watched her like she was the only girl he had ever seen. It was the way I wished every man would look at a woman. Like she was everything. Like the Goddess' women are, but only a handful of us can actually say, experienced that. It was the way I wish he would look at me. I guess I finally liked a boy. It was stupid, so stupid. The feeling inside of me every time I saw them together, stupid. It stung. Though I had to keep my mouth shut and my heart safe at all costs. I was never one to actually ever like a boy so easily, and if I did, it was serious. To my bad luck, it was all unrequited. He loved her, he only saw her. I think a lot of people confuse that. Being with a person who doesn't see you as the only one, just know you aren't the only one. I guess I had this crush on since forever. It may be crazy that Levine Arnaud, is crazy in love. Is thinking about a boy that loves her best friend. Love hurts. Someone decided to take the seat next to me wi
The Victim 63| what if
S E R I N E My jaw is slightly ajar, as I stare at Levine in shock.Her brother was coming to visit? His timing couldn't have been worse. "Took the words right out my mouth," She mutters and I soon realized I had said that out loud. I don't say anything and just run my fingers through my curls."Honestly, how do you feel?" I ask. "Truth be told," She looks at me. "like crap. Every thing was going perfectly fine up until now. Me being locked up in jail was like a sign, a sign of more bad things coming my way,""Amen.""May I join?" I look up to see the brunette, Nina. "Sure,""I guess everyone's having a bad day?""What do you mean by everyone? What happened to you?" I look at her. "Well you guys don't even have to say, I can easily tell. I had a little encounter with Amber, David came late and got detention. Darek was sent to the principals office and Angelo got into a little fight," My brows come together. "What?""W- what? why? when?""I'm not quite sure but I heard and I saw him f
The Victim 64| forgive me
K E L L YI watched him place his hand on hers, with so much love and worry all at once.[Flashback]I understood why she chose him. A smile overtakes my expression, as I watch him, intrigued.He explained every piece that I didn't understand on paper. I didn't get to hear everything he was saying but all I knew is that it made sense.Whatever it was.He looked so focused and dedicated, he was a smart guy.Who I watched from afar, for years. For as long as I had known him. Alexander was there, but as the guy I thought I liked. Right, thought.As far as I knew, Alex and I weren't together because we liked and wanted to be together, no. It was out of mere desperation. There was no good reason other than just- him wanting to get Serine.No matter how, he had to it. No matter if he had to hurt her in the process. Alex didn't care, as long as he breathed the same air she did. As long as he was in her presence. No matter if he irritated her and how much he claimed to hate her, despite knowi
The Victim 65| forget forever
S E R I N E "Angelo, I can explain,""Is this what he meant? Tell me is this what he meant by, I wouldn't call you my girlfriend after what you did? Is it?" My body shivers and I'm helpless.Not even Levine could help me right now. I had to handle this by myself. I had to get through something without someone else's help. I had to own up to my mistakes. The secret I've kept.It was time.I couldn't deny it."Silence says everything,"I can't even bear to look him in the eye. I just can't.I can't face him."WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?" The loudness of his voice almost makes me shout. I finally look at him. He looks torn -- so broken. It makes me sick how I was the cause of all that. With my hand on my chest, tears blurring my vision, I struggle to find my voice.Just to say that I was sorry.Just to say that, even though I knew damn well it wouldn't help. "I love you Serine, I loved you." His words pierce into my soul almost.It hurts so much.I didn't know if making it br
