(Next day)
Ariana's P. O. VI hurried over to the rest and stopped right in front of them, panting." Hey, guys... Good morning." I greeted, taking in deep breaths. They all looked at me quizzically." Good morning? What's wrong?" They all asked." Have you guys seen Natalie? Cause I haven't seen her since last night."" What do you mean you haven't seen her since last night? Darren asked." Isn't she supposed to be with you?"" No, I thought she was with Mira. She went out last night and didn't tell me where she was headed." I said. Mira looked confused." Natalie wasn't with me last night." She slowly said. " She didn't even call me at all."" Okay... That's strange. I've tried calling her since last night and she hasn't been picking up. I had to lie to her brothers that she slept over in one of her other friend's houses."" You aren't saying Natalie is missing, are you?" Darren asked." No... Although I might be speculating itLucy's POVI hurried over to a separate room in the house where we were and cleaned my bleeding nose. I was stressing too much, and it was terrible for me. I rummaged my bag for my pills and, seeing it, used some and gulped down a bottle of water. Just then, my phone rang. I picked it up, and it was Tricia calling." I can't do it!" I yelled as I picked it up." What do you mean, you can't do it?? It's not that hard. Just eliminate Natalie and you'll be fine."" I just told you, I can't do it. I'm not a killer."" Oh really? You're not going to do it. So then what? You're just gonna let what you've been working hard for go to waste? Why did you start it if you knew you weren't going to end it?" I... I don't have to strength too." I muttered, biting my lips." Take it easy on yourself, Lucy. It's not that hard, just go over there... Put the bullet in her head and boom, she'll be gone, goodbye. Now go, I won't repeat myself."" Okay... I mutter
Natalie's P. O. VXander and Xavier were on the floor, but when Xavier rolled over, I realized he had taken the bullet for Xander. Xander just lay there, shocked about the whole thing. Who knew this would happen?? The gun had long dropped from Lucy's hands when she managed to process everything and she stood there dazed. Then began to mutter little incoherent things to herself while twisting her hair." I just murdered someone!" She said out loud before finally passing out, falling to the floor. I just stood there, dazed. Xavier's painful groan brought me back to the room. He was already bleeding." Oh, my God. No! " I muttered quietly as I went out towards him. He was shot in the stomach and when I tried to touch it, he groaned out loud. I stopped, my lips quivering." I'm sorry," I mumbled and looked up at Xander, who was still staring at everything as if it was a movie. I walked up to him as well, shaking him roughly." Will you at least get yourself toge
Tricia's P. O. VI bowed my head out of shame as my mum reprimanded me. After the most embarrassing moment of my life at the hospital, I was taken to the police station where I was put into a cell. " How could you do this to your sister! What if she died??" my mum yelled at me and I cringed." She's not my sister!" I shot back, tears filling and streaming out my eyes." Really? What is she then?? Your maid? For goodness’ sake Tricia, I warned you. Even if she doesn't see you like one, she's never done anything to hurt you. Her dad might not be much of a father to you, but he isn't much a father to his daughter as well. She lives miles away from him!"I choked out, sobbing quietly." I just wanted something of my own. Something that I could point out as mine... And I didn't have any." I blurted." And you have that." My mom said gently. " If you were a little nicer, you'll know that you had that. You have friends, family... We might not be th
Natalie's P. O. VI was on my way back to Middesville but this time I didn't go alone; I went with my newfound friends and boyfriend on a bus. Today is my birthday and instead of celebrating it with a bunch of crappy people I didn't know, I decided to go to a place where people knew me well and I was allowed to do whatever I want. Darren and Mira were behind us acting all lovey-dovey, Xander was in front and I'm guessing he was face timing Lucy while Xavier laid on my shoulders, operating his phone while I listened to music with my earphones.I have to admit, sometimes our relationship still surprises me because we are so different in so many ways. While I liked to do everything hard and rough, which almost always got me into trouble, Xavier was more of a cool guy... Something I didn't think I was ever going to manage. It's weird how we get along just fine and not get into tons of arguments as people expected us to." For the last time Natalie, why didn't you invite a
Natalie's POV"Hey Natty! Won't you wake up!? Get your ass down here!!” my brother yelled downstairs. I groaned on the bed, turning to my side. The alarm had gone off minutes ago but I still wanted to get more moments of sleep. We had a leaving party last night, and it was a blast. Yeah, I'm leaving middesville to New Orleans.My door burst open, revealing the hunk of a brother."Natty, if I come to get you there, you'll punch the wall 60 times as your punishment...""I'm up, I'm up. And I am not punching the wall. I need my hands when I'm carrying those boxes." I said, sitting up."Good. I need you downstairs in the next 5 minutes, no more no less."I took a proper look at my brother and frowned."What are you doing in my room without a shirt?” I asked. He raised a brow, confused."Huh?" He looked down, later smiling and revealing his fang-like teeth, which always made him look devilishly handso
Xander's POVWaking up with a slight migraine, I looked down, slowly pushing the body that lay on my chest. She was still fast asleep. Running my hands through my hair, I let out a huff. Last night was the same as all other nights. Get drunk and get laid. Same pointless sex.Wrapping a towel round my abdomen, I walked to the bathroom to have a quick shower. I needed to get my thoughts together as I stayed beneath the shower for what seemed like forever. Eventually, I was done and turned it off. Getting out of the bathroom, I met the girl already seated. I don't even know her name."Hi, good morning." she greeted shyly. I'm sure she must be feeling on top of the world for being in my bed. If only she knew it meant nothing to me. I put up a smile and played along."Good morning. How are you?" I asked."Fine. Just a little sore." she added, pouting."Sorry, I'll leave you to freshen up."Okay."I went to the wardrobe and pic
Xavier's POVI watched as her expression went from anger to surprise, but nothing close to shock. Damn! She's pretty."Anyway, I still think you should apologise. I could have been seriously hurt there," she said, glaring at me. She sure has some nerve, funny I haven't seen around here."Well, it's a good thing you aren't. Can you please leave? I'd like to go now." I said, frowning."Is it so hard for you to say sorry?""Go to Babylon for that!" I snapped and got back into my car, driving off. Watching her from my rearview mirror, I saw that she still stood there, probably surprised at my outburst. I must've made a very bad impression on her. A part of me wanted to apologise, so I slowed down, but as usual, I waved it off and drove away again. I've gone past caring about people feeling's. Who needs them anyway??***Natalie's POVI stood still, completely shocked. Isn't that the same guy Ariana is always drooling ab
Xander's POV"Dad called." Xavier announced on the dining. We've been sitting opposite each other for a while now, neither of us saying anything, and suddenly he announces this."Did he?" I asked."Yes. He said he wanted to check up on us. See how we were faring." He answered."What did you tell him?""We're fine.""Okay..." I muttered and continued eating. I have a feeling he's not done yet. " Xander, he's heard. People are telling him." he suddenly said, peering at me. I raised my brows as if I wasn't concerned."Heard what?" I asked."Your consistent partying. He made a long speech about that affecting his image....""It's all about his image, isn't it?" suddenly snapped, cutting him off. " Everything is about his image to the press, isn't it? He doesn't come home, never calls and when he finally does it is to tell us it's affecting his image.... Seriously?""It's not about that, Xander. You should
