(Thomas)Sarah’s mother stared at me through her piercing gray eyes. “What kind of a ridiculous accusation is this?” she spat, “How could you say such a thing?!”“That’s regrettable,” I said, “I was hoping that we could arrive at some kind of middle ground. I didn’t expect this from you.”“The boy’s lost his mind, Catherine,” her father said to his wife. He turned his stony eyes away and took a puff of his cigar.I took a deep breath and shifted my gaze to the floor. Beside me, Mother’s nostrils flared. “Look, Edward. I came here to talk to you both about this because of the relationship that our families have shared,” she seethed, “Business – family. We’ve always been good friends.”Her gaze turned steely as she clenched her fist. I caught sight of the veins pulsing through the top of her hand. “But if you’re not going take this chance to apologize, I’m afraid we’re going to have to go down another route.”“Another route?” Catherine murmured softly. Her right brow was arched. “Do you

(Lydia)Was it possible to love someone so much that you could forgive any crime that they committed against you? Was it possible that the same person who became the source of so much pain to you could also become the source of such incredible peace and such immense joy?That was how I felt about Thomas.I had always wanted to lead a life of passion. I had always to pursue all that had really meant something to me.Thomas was among those parts of my life. If soul mates were real, Thomas Lombardi was mine. And then there was work.I had always felt deeply passionate about my work, and that is why I had excelled in my career so far. But, unlike Thomas, my career could not hurt me.And that is why I spent the next few days deeply immersed in work.***The first day of shooting was fun.“We’re rolling,” the director had said, signaling for me to begin.My heart was pounding. I had taken a deep breath and stepped up towards Nathan.“Do you know,” I said to him in the British accent of my c

(Lydia)For the past several days, Nathan had been trying to chat me up – in the cafeteria, during rehearsals, and on set.“We have incredible chemistry,” he said, winking at me.I smiled. “I would just like to be friends, Nathan.”I turned my gaze back towards the sheet of dialogues that I had.“Is there a special guy in your life?” he asked.I looked up at him and chuckled. “Nathan!” I exclaimed, “Stop it! We have to work!”“Where is this guy, then?” Nathan persisted.I shook my head.But later, I had a sinking feeling in my heart. Why, in fact, had Thomas not made any effort towards me in all these days? He was coming to see Mabel and Miles every single day. How come he did not approach me and try to have a conversation with me? Had he given up so easily?By the evening, when we wrapped up for the day, this thought had festered into my mind. It was a devastating idea.“What’s up?” Nathan asked, stepping into the make-up room, “Why are you sitting here all alone?”“Oh, it’s nothing,

(Thomas)“What happened?” I exclaimed, darting into the hospital. Sarah was sitting there with Dr. Esther, her face pale and dark circles around her sockets.“Please drink some water, miss,” the assistant said to Sarah. With shaky hands, she picked up the glass and chugged the water down.“It’s okay, Sarah,” Dr. Esther said softly, “Please have a seat, Mr. Lombardi.”I slowly sat down in a chair beside Sarah.She began to cry as she stared at me. “You had me locked up here?” she sobbed, “How could you do that to me, Thomas?”“He didn’t do this to you, Sarah,” Dr. Esther said softly. Her voice was low and comforting.I stared at Sarah, aghast.I did not know what to say.“I’ll die without you, Thomas,” she said.“Don’t say that,” I said to her, “You’ve always been my friend.”Memories of the two of us from childhood began flooding through my mind: Sarah in her little pink skirt and white T shirt stepping shyly into my house, Sarah jumping and cheering while I played football with Jack

(Jack)I put my hand on Ruby’s and squeezed it. She looked at me morosely. “How could this have happened?” she murmured.I grimaced. I did not know what to say.“Sarah has been struggling all these years,” said Ruby, “And she’s never let anyone know.”I rolled my eyes. “Well, I wouldn’t exactly put it that way,” I said, “She has tried to cause serious harm to everyone around her and close to her simply because of her obsession with Thomas.”“Stop it, Jack, Don’t be so cruel!” exclaimed Ruby. She slapped me lightly on the back.“The girl’s been going through Heaven knows what for so long,” she said, “She used to be in my dorm building, you know. Her room was across the corridor from mine. I sometimes caught sounds of her crying to herself. And I did once knock …“Sarah had opened the door, her eyes red and brimming with tears.“‘Oh, honey,’ I had said, ‘What is it?’“‘It’s nothing,’ she had replied, shaking her head.“I had walked into the room.“‘What happened exactly?’ I had asked he
