We were standing there and looking at each other like our lives depended on each other. Her lips parted away. I felt like that this was the moment she's going to run away. There was so much in her eyes right now but that's what she always did. I saw the way her throat worked, how she gulped slowly until a voice finally came out of it."Is there something wrong with it?" She once again gulped nervously and continued "Can't I praise you or give you a compliment?" She innocently asked.Amy didn't moved away or snapped back at me and that was weird of her. As well as the things she said on the phone and the soft tone she is using now. Everything about her was surprising me today. But that was in a good way as well because things were finally starting to look good between us."Have you ever complimented me before?" I narrowed my eyes and asked a question even though I was aware of the answer but I guess she wasn't."Things change. People change and I guess I'm changing as well," Her voice
I didn't bother looking back. Now I was all alone in this library, surrounded by books and much more darkness. This isn't how I expected things to be but I guess that's how things are going to be for a while even if I don't want them to be like that. I was helpless and I wasn't liking it.I shutted my eyes for a moment and tried to absorb the conversation we had. I needed to once again pretend that nothing had happened between us. I need to get out of this room and think that the conversation between us didn't effected me. I had to pretend and once again , I was just so done by this pretending.Everything was so clustered in my mind and heart that it was getting heavy. You know the feeling when something worse happens to you and you are not yourself anymore. You heart is heavy and you feel like there is something stuck in your throat and it hurts but you can't do anything about it. And that was exactly how I was feeling.The only person I ever wished could become mine, wanted to be no
•LAYLA'S POV:I kept looking back and forth from my watch to the door again and again. I gulped down another sip of water from the glass. It was my third glass of water because I was so nervous that I kept pouring more water into my empty glass. Where the hell were they even?Were they making some kind of Atom bomb that none of them is back yet. It's been 15 minutes since I requested Amy to go to the library and none of them is back yet. I would just barge in right now but I'm holding myself back from doing that. Others would be here soon and that would make the situation much more worse.All kind of threatening thoughts were going through my mind. What if I'm the one who messed things up? What if everything goes wrong? It's definitely going to fire me back. But I was doing something good wasn't I. I got my lesson from what happened to me and my lack of confidence in love life. But I can't let Amy go through this again.First time, her pain was enough to give her a deep wound for year
"Good morning." Charlie also arrived as Noah and Celine were busy chatting. I looked at him and greeted him back."Woah Charlie you look busy," I refered to the loads of file in his hand."Oh, these are the personal details for the security we handled today." He said and placed those binder on the coffee table in the living room and made his way towards the table.I was confused when Charlie mentioned "Personal detail of security" because this was something I didn't knew about. Noah might have read that confusion on my face that's why he cleared the misunderstanding."Don't worry, I'll tell you everything about this stuff today. This is the purpose of today's meeting. You'll know soon," He informed me and I nodded."Come here Charlie. Let me give you the biggest news of the year,""Hey don't spread the news further," Celine suggested."It's okay. Charlie is one of us. But Charlie please let this stay between our group okay?"He agreed by nodding."But what's the news?" He eagerly aske
Noah was refusing to go to the hospital or seeing a doctor as Amy suggested he should. All of a sudden his condition became like he was about to faint but he was just too stubborn to accept this fact and get a check up from the hospital. I couldn't help but step in when he refused Amy as well."But you aren't well Noah," I added agreement to Amy's statement."No please. I'll be fine. This is something more important," Noah stubbornly stated."No it's not Noah. You're health is important first. We can get this done by tomorrow when you are fine," I practically begged him to stop whining.But he rejected us as he shook his head once again in denial and repeated a word again and again which was,"No no no."I sighed at his strong-willness. What was he trying to do? I would have asked him that directly but I knew better that he wasn't in such kind of state. My cloud of thinking bursted up as Celine and Charlie entered into the room. Amy and I both turned around at the same time."Oh my god
"I'm driving," I told him as soon as we reached outside the Aiden's house, making our way towards the parking area."Fine with me," He replies, "But whose car are we taking?""I'm comfortable with my car so let's take that one," I suggested and he nods.We both jump into the front seats as soon as we reach my car. I was starting the car while Noah was busy pressing a button that makes his upper part of seat push back. It was almost like he was sleeping on a bed but in a car.A few minutes passed in silence before he slowly pulls his seat back up and says,"I think I'm actually fine now,""Want to eat something?""No Layla. We are already late. Let's just speed up," Noah suggested.He was right though. We sended everyone to thier destined location earlier and then sat and talked for 15 minutes straight. So it was only fair if I speed up and that's what I did. I picked up my speed but not that much because there were still plenty of cars on the road."What's the plan?" I asked."It's ju
Doctor Paul handed us the death certificate as soon as we reached his office. Getting a fake certificate and making it look like real was a really big deal. I don't know how Noah managed to pull this stunt out but he did. And now if Azvameth searches for proof, he will find this in Aiden's record.Noah was busy looking at the death certificate but I couldn't. Even if it was a fake death certificate, but still it was of Aiden and that scared me. I tried to get my attention back to the structure of the room and my eyes landed on Jared who was standing there with a blank expression. He was standing in the typical body guard kind of style. His hands were at back and legs were slightly apart."Do you have a real gun?" I whispered when I observed that his holster wasn't empty, trying not to disturb the Doctor and Noah."Yes," he coldly replied and I couldn't help but be amused."I'm pretty great with guns since childhood." I told him I don't know why. He confusingly looked at me and asked."
My mind was stuck at her last words but somehow I managed to move along with Noah as Jared covered us up from behind. They have clearly shot Amy intentionally and they might have an idea that she will somehow tell us everything that happened. So what’s stopping them from barging in the hospital? Or it wasn’t their plan to shoot to begin with? We finally entered a room which was at the end of the hall. Jared locked up the door from behind and I realized that we are currently in ER. Noah carefully placed Amy on the nearest bed and looked at the doctor furiously. “Do something!” He barked. The doctor examined Amy’s arm as Jared and I helped him find the emergency supplies. Mostly, the hospital was empty but thankfully we were able to find all the stuff Doctor Paul was asking us to find despite the transfer of hospital. Noah never left Amy's side for a second when the doctor was examining him.“The bullet just touched the arm so thankfully it’s not that serious. She fainted from the s
