Amari POV: 5 months laterIt's been 5 months since getting a new car which my mom wasn't too happy about but later fell in love with and the new designer clothes. Not to mention the fancy lunches I've been getting - I have even been deemed Miss Popular at school. Camilo and the cheerleaders are really not having it but the jock boys keep surrounding me like my very own private Swat team so they don't go near meRight now I'm getting ready for a party some new rich boy is throwing"Amari do you have an outfit for tonight" my mom yells from down the passage"Mom it's just a party it's no big deal really " I yell back."It's your first high school party of course it's a big deal... Are you sure you don't need my help" She barges into my room leaning onto my doorframe"I'm sure Mom besides you are like ancient so what do you know about fashion" I chuckle throwing some clothes onto the bed for me to try out"Missy before I had you and married your stupid father I was 2 years in my fashion
Shadow Chapter 13: What happened last night
Shadow POV: I got a call from Daniel that Amari went to that party after I specifically told her not to. Speeding to this boy Jonathan's house I grip onto the steering wheel my knuckles turning white from the amount of pressure I'm putting. Stepping on the accelerator I'm pretty sure I'm going over the speed limit but it's nothing money can't fixPulling up to the address I practically jumped out of the car not caring where I parked. Teenage girls start eyeing me but I am only here for one girl. Going toward the backyard I see the fucker leading Amari up the staircase"Are you like the police?" some big kid says and I completely lose my patience pulling out my gun I aim it at him"Whoaa uhm dude chill like I don't want no trouble" he starts backing away in fear. I guess I look out of place"Shit, your literally so hot" looking down at the girl who said that. I come face to face with a blond who happens to be Amari's friend Bella. And she's quite drunk"Nice to meet you, I'm Shadow"
Shadow Chapter 14: Your the reason I hold on
Amari POV:"Leave your message after the beep" I sigh holding the phone closer to my ear. I dig my sock-covered feet into my plush carpet trying to ground myself "Hey Shadow it's me again I know it's the 200th time I've called you in the past two weeks but please pick up I - I can't lose you ...not again" I whisper sounding as desperate as I feel. Hanging up the phone I bite back a sob as I lay back downShadow hasn't been answering my calls since rescuing me from Jonathan’s. I can feel a piece of my heart chip away every time I get sent to his voicemail. I honestly don't understand why his ignoring meI just want to hear his voiceTo see him ... is that too much to ask. I feel like screaming and then crying all over again "Amari come out it's time for dinner" my mom spoke from behind my bedroom door"I'm not hungry," I say and she sighs“Amari you need to eat something I’m worried about you” she tries reasoning with me “I’m not hungry” I mumble grabbing a pillow to cry on “I know
Shadow Chapter 15: Not again
Daniel POV: Walking into the facility with a bouquet of flowers I head straight toward the receptionist"Hi I'm here to visit Amari Carmichael," I say looking at the old lady with chapped lips"She's not taking any visitors at the moment," she says not paying any attention to me. Instead she's focused on whatever she’s knitting"Can you please tell her it's Daniel ...Daniel Peters" I say and the lady raises her head slightly. Rolling her eyes she picks up the phone in front of her and starts dialing a numberI could easily go down the halls and find Amari myself since I practically came here every day when she was admitted at 9. I know this place like the back of my hand but I’ll be professional since I’m here as a visitor, not an owner "Uhm we have a.... "She pauses clearly forgetting my name"Daniel Peters" I answer her with a smile "Daniel Peters here to see a patient..." she looks down at her books "- patient 007""Okay," she says into the phone before she places it back down"
Shadow Chapter 16: Berlin
Amari POV:Waking up under duvet covers I try to adjust my eyes to the dimly lit room. Moving around I rub my neck trying to ease out the uncomfortable sting"My men injected you with Propofol. The sting should be gone in an hour or two" a deep voice says in the darkJumping up startled my mind takes me back to when I was 8 I was sitting in this exact position talking to him"Your here" I whisper out and he chuckles sending tingles down my back"You're actually in Berlin now" he shifts in the dark. I can't see him but I can see the outline of him"What do you mean" I chuckle awkwardly maybe his joking. How long was I out for to be in a completely different country?Looking around this unfamiliar room I know I'm supposed to be scared but I'm not cause I know he'll protect me like the first time he protected me from the bad guys jumping into my window all those years ago "You're becoming impulsive, sweetheart," he says. Actually listening to him speak I pick up a Russian accent in his

So I don't want to bother him that muchDaniel on the other ha-"Knock knock," he says whilst knocking Speak of the devil"You can come in" I yell. He walks in and sits on the edge of my bed"Look Amari about what happened the other day whatever you heard I do apologize," Daniel says whilst pretending to crack his knuckles. He's been apologizing since and if I’m being quite honest I didn’t know what they were talking about but I knew it had to do with me so I stopped them from arguing "Daniel you can stop apologizing quite frankly I don't want to be here I haven't taken my meds and my insomnia has kicked in," I say clutching onto his arm way too hard causing him to wince"Sorry," I say pulling away. I really really need my meds now “Do you remember what happened last night?” Daniel asked and I looked at him puzzled “Uh no” I answer and
