''Alright, so you're just going to go?'' Lucas asked.It was the following day and somehow, he had been hoping that Aliyah would change her mind somehow but she didn't. She had been so serious about going back home and at that moment, there was nothing he could do to change her mind.''Sadly, yes.'' Aliyah sighed.She needed to stay close to her house in cae Enzo tried anything rash. The last thing she would want to happen was for Patrick to get attacked without backing, that would be the worst thing and she wasn't sure she could handle it.''I'm going to miss you.'' Lucas sighed.In the three weeks she had spent in his house, he had loved every bit of it. The connection between them was something else and when they talked about certain things, Lucas never wanted her to leave.''Come off it. We can see ourselves anytime we like and you know that.'' Aliyah laughed.Lucas hugged her, pouring all of his love in that hug. He didn't want her to go but there was nothing he could do a

AmandaI didn't want to feel scared over what Parker said but I couldn't deny the fact that I was. Everything that had ever happened till this very moment was like a dream. I was still trying to wrap my head around the fact that my parents are no more.It was all like a dream to me, a nasty dream I badly wanted to wake up from. Everyday without my parents was torture, a pain I couldn't begin to describe.There was no use living or so I thought and times without number, I had thought about ending it all because what was the importance of living when the people you loved weren't around anymore. I knew that if Parker learnt about my suicide attempt, he would never allow me out of his sight again even for a minute. It was depressing to think that I could end it all but most times, it just seemed like the right thing to do.I could have easily overdosed on my sleeping tabs but still, something held me back, something I just couldn't put my hands on. It was like a spirit, a monitoring forc

"Hey guys, please wait." A voice said.Amanda had just come out of the school's clinic and was walking towards Parker who had already seen her. Both of them turned around to see Makayla walking towards them with a sad expression on her face. Even a blind person could see that she was ashamed of what she had done. She sighed, looking at them and for a minute, Amanda could swear that she saw her eyes twitch like one who was fighting back tears."Yes?" Parker asked.He wasn't buying any of her pitiful look but in that moment, Amanda couldn't stop him from speaking harshly to her. She wasn't sure too if Makayla was being genuine or not.Times without number, they had both seen how Makayla would bully younger students and sometimes, even her mates. It was horrible when she did it and so, Amanda wasn't surprised that Parker was treating her this way. In the deepest part of her heart, she believed that Makayla deserved it for all the time she was bad to people. It was even a law, you can't

"Parker, I just got some information." Jamie said.They were still in school, at their break when Parker got the call."Oh god. Tell me it's nothing bad." Parker sighed.He could as well use one goid news now that everything seemed to be silent. He didn't want any bad news at all."Hold your horses man. This news is somewhat good."Really?" Parker asked.Amanda had gone for a bathroom break and wouldn't be back soon since from there, she had to go see the nurse who wanted to check up on her since her panic attack."Is Amanda there?" Jamie asked."No. She's in the bathroom, I'm at the dining hall. We're just having lunch." Parker said."Okay great. I just confirmed from my sources that Aliyah is backing down from us." He said, finally.Parker could hardly believe his ears. It was like a dream come true, in fact it was a dream come true.This was what he had been secretly hoping for and now that it had come, he just didn't know how to feel."Are you pulling my legs now man?" He asked."

JamieDeep into the night, i woke up with a start when i heard noises coming from the outer yard of my flat. Apparently, my fifth sense had sensed it even before i sensed it and so, i was awake in a jiffy.''What's happening?'' i mummured.I switched on the bedside lamp, looking at every corner of the room but there was nothing. Everything was as it was meant to be which just had me worried because there was really no way i would have woken without there being something amiss.I was too sensitive to do that and i badly needed to know what the problem was. If there was something i hated, it was to be caught unawares. I hated it with a passion.I heard the noise again, this time more faintly. No one would ever have heard it because it was very silent. This time around, it was closer than i thought. I switched off the bedside lamp, bathing the entire room in darkness.I dealt better when everywhere was dark. That was when i was focused and could see what exactly the problem was.''Come o
