Grace- Everything changed after Aiden entered, he brought all my clothes, but I have a feeling we won’t be staying here for long. I was putting my clothes together and then I realized that $50,000 I earned are resting at Levi’s manor. They could’ve helped me so much but, I had a lot of time to put my things together, but I… “Hey… can I come in?” I heard a knock on my door, I saw Phoenix walking inside. “I figured you might be needing it…” He extended his arm to give me my diary, I gasped as I haven’t seen it for so long. He looked around and sat on the bed. “So, who was your first love?” He questioned, trust me you don’t want to know. If I could erase that memory, him from my life I would. I remained silent and sat next to him, “So, you won’t tell?” His head dropped between his shoulders and I felt him sigh. “There was… this guy, I was in love with.” I took a long pause and his body flinched. “Uh… but then things happened and we broke up.” It was barely a lie, because it did ha

Grace- “Why would you make a fake phone call, that too in his name?” Phoenix yelled at Aiden and grabbed my hand, all of us planning to leave. “Don’t you know him? Don’t you know who he is?” It felt like Phoenix’s world is drifting apart, it’s crushing into pieces because of me. “Take Grey with you, hide somewhere safe and don’t come out…” He exclaimed looking at Aiden. I couldn’t process how unreasonable he was being. “I won’t leave my brother, Phoenix!!” I argue, I would never do this. “You don’t get it, Levi is looking for you, he won’t come after Grey, we have to ensure his safety first…” Phoenix completed. “M---my diary!!” I shriek as he locks the door, all four of us looking at nowhere because we have no destination. “Don’t worry, I have it with me…” He gripped my hand firmly. I look at Grey, my eyes wanting to tear up. I thought I was giving him a safe world but I find myself running again. His life is getting so much affected by me, I'm ruining it. “Grey… baby! Come h

Grace- “Oh my god! I'm so so---sorry, my love!” I heard him gasp; his gasp was all I could hear. Everything went blur and for a while I felt really good. Because this way, Phoenix wasn’t the only one who shed blood, and the moment Phoenix’s thought stroke my head, I panicked. How is he, where is he, because of me, all because of me. Because I gave myself away with this pain, other emotions came back rushing in. Emotions like sadness, like severe damage and the only ultimatum left was to kill Archie and rush outside. I am cursed, I am a curse that turns everything into ashes with only one gaze, I wish this curse worked on Archie and Levi, I wish I could turn them into ashes as well. But it doesn’t work on monsters, it works on people with a heart, people with kindness because I ruin kindness, I ruin lives, just like I ruined my own. I forever hide behind this mask ‘life never gave me an option’, yes it didn’t but I didn’t do anything to find it as well. I considered that hell as

Grace- “Grace…” I heard a voice, I wanted to open my eyes but it felt like someone’s strangling me not letting me wake up. “Grace…” My body shuddered, it felt like an earthquake gushing inside. I gasped for air, however much I could grasp within the momentary lapse of panic attack. “Grace… hey!” My eyes opened wide, a drop of tear rolling down soaking into the pillow beneath me. I scanned the room with my eyes, what do I feel? I sprung up from the bed and pushed him away, turning myself into a box and I stored my frame into the corner. He was that hand too, I can still feel it, crawling beneath my skin, tearing me apart like infinite threads piercing through my flesh and while I should breathe through the pores, I suffocate. I feel my hands shaking, and my fingers groping my own neck. My surroundings have turned white and the man before me is nothing but black. I recall the blood in my hands, the blood on the ground that spilled because of me, the blood of the man that I love.

Grace- “You want some coffee?” I was slouching on the couch when I heard her irritating voice. I had nothing to do with her but she wouldn’t just shut up. She had this personality of a badass, I thought she would not even talk to me, but I guess I was wrong. “Yeah, put poison in it…” I taunted and folded my legs turning into a box. I don’t know what I'm doing, but I feel like if I move, a bullet will pierce a hole inside my body. “Oh darling, I have better ways to kill you…” I heard the metal clanking however I protested to look in her direction. I feel like dying. “Of course…” I muttered and she placed the cup before me. Her mouth doesn’t stay put and I don’t know how people around her handle this nuisance. “So, when did you meet Archie?” She again shot me with a question. “At school…” I drawled; my eyes tired of the nonsense. And my brain deflating as she opens her mouth. I got up. “Where are you going?” She slurped the hot coffee making irritating voices and I went inside m
