At the end of the movie, the villain did not die but turn a new leaf.Gareth was the villain in our story but he d*ed with out reconciling with any of us.

[60] ||Arlington Arling||"I won't forgive myself if I should make the same mistake twice cause its all my fault for falling for him in the first place." I snorted, reminiscing over how I stupidly fell for his charm. D*mn!"Its not your fault, Arling." Mom muttered in a sweet tone. "Every body is prone to falling in love and its a very beautiful thing to do, despite the danger sign in it.""Yeah, every one..." I scoffs. "Every one except Hardie, he doesn't know and doesn't care to know what its all about." And maybe Gareth too? Yeah, I think.Thinking about Gareth, I badly wish I was competent enough then to k*ll him myself. Yeah, I know it's a very bad idea to think of but I can't help it. And, I think I owe Hardie for that."When I said every one, Hardie wasn't excluded either. Maybe he realised his mistakes and wants to make amendment where necessary." Mom uttered as she wiped the dishes dry. "Who knows? Maybe he do really need the second chance he asked for…"I was stuck wi

[61] ||Hardie Morrison||Since I woke up today, all I was able to do was check the time and the screen of my phone contemplating on if to dial her digit or not. I'm silently dying to give her a call and scared at the same time.What is this feeling? I'm never afraid of any one but rather its always the other way round. Now, why this feeling? If this is how love feels, then people must be crazy for falling deeply in love.But on other hand, I'm also falling in love and that also mean I'm crazy. Is it not?I breath in slowly, after hours of contemplating, I finally got the courage to give her a call. Now, I hope she answer the call."Hey there...""Sorry, who is this...?" Her soft voice came up from the other end."What? Don't tell me you don't recognized my voice, Arling." I said as I laugh nervously, trying to sound friend."Wait, is that Hardie? How did you get my..."I quickly cut her short. "H-huh, forget about that. How are you faring?""Uhm, I'm good. Why did you call?"

[62] ||Arlington Arling||"Well, let's see how long the trust would last..." He said with a lopsided smirk. But before I could day jack, the car was already moving in a bullet speed...What do he mean by that statement of his? I wanted to asked him about it but kept my mouth shut, let's see where this leads to. Right?Not up to five minutes, I started feeling really dizzy having this demanding urge to throw up. I always thought I'm way past this stage, or could it be because of his de*th speed race?I tried bearing it but I just couldn't. "Stop this damn car!" I yelled, hitting the car's dashboard aggressively. I'm starting to get pissed off already with out any reason, what's that for?"Why? Any thing the problem?" He asked concerned laced in his voice but still keeping his gaze on the car's wheel."Stop this car this very minutes, else I'm gon' jump right through the door's window if you don't." I yelled, threat laced in my voice."What...?" He stuttered as he quickly hold o
