Seven dropped me off at work early in the morning on his bike.
I didn't want to report to work this morning but then I remembered this is the only job I have and I have to put up with CJ for the sake of it. This is my ticket away from this town. Far far away from this town.
It's been nothing but chaos ever since. CJ is trying his best at tearing me apart and he's sort of winning though I hate to admit. I know he's the one who wrecked my car last night. It all makes sense now. Why he invited me to the party last night...
To embarrass and humiliate me as he buys time to steal my car and smash it.
I FUCKING HATE HIM.
I HATE HIM SO FUCKING MUCH.
I spent almost the entire night sobbing uncontrollably. I was so shaken up that Seven offered to sleep beside me as he consoled me.

"That bitch is nuts!"Zara is yelling in my office as I'm seated opposite her on my swivel chair, still shaken by the events that just occurred.Heaven storming into the office. Heaven glaring at me. Heaven taking out the knife. Heaven slashing her wrists. Heaven being rushed to hospital.It all happened so fast that I was shook at the moment. The only thing that could register in my mind at the time was that it was my fault. The reason she was lying there, blood dripping profusely from her wrists was all because of me.CJ rushed her to hospital and I haven't heard from him since."Let's just hope she's okay.""No! Let's just hope she's dead!"I gasp. "Jesus! No Zara!""What? I'm just saying what your mouth is too afraid to say. I mean, what kind of stupid stunt is that she pulled? Such a dramaqueen!"Could it be a stunt she pulled? Or is she so obsessed with CJ that she's really willing to risk her own life?"Wha
My pillow is torn into pieces.Balls of cotton are lying everywhere on the ground and my bed. The sheets have been torn apart outrageously, the pieces lying on the ground. Everything has been misplaced and hurled to the ground, even my clothes.But that's not horrifying.What's horrifying is the body on the bed.The dead smelly body of a cat, blood splattered on the torn sheets.A note is left just beside the carcass of the cat."You are following in the footsteps of the cat!!!!! RUN OR DIE!!!"A hand touches on my back and I jerk in horror.I heave a sigh of relief when I see Seven standing behind me looking worried and concerned.For a moment, I stare at him, the lump in my throat burning. I feel so shaken and so scared that I fall into his arms and lay my head on his chest. I fight the urge to break down into tears so bad but it's all to no avail since I break down so hard and so bitterly, all the hurt I've been kee
"Another nightmare?"Seven looks at me, worry and pity in his eyes. I hate pity. But that's how he looks at me every time I wake up from a nightmare screaming and he tries to calm me down."What are these nightmares about?"It's been an entire week of having endless nightmares every time I close my eyes. But I can't bring myself to tell him. I can't bring myself to tell him that the nightmares are about him... That the reason I wake up trembling is because I'm so scared... Not for myself... But for him... He kills him every time and he stands at the door, smirking at me in victory, telling me he finally got me.But how?How am I going to tell Seven about him?How will I even start? I've never told anyone about him before... Not even Dee or Amira or Ren or Zara... Nobody... So, how will I start by telling Seven about him?I can't.I just can't.It's been an entire week of having the nightmares and they keep getting
I get home late that evening.I find Seven sitting on the couch, flipping through every channel. He can't seem to settle on one."Hey boyfriend!" I greet."Hey," he greets back dryly.I've never seen this version of Seven ever before. His mood is so off and he seems grumpy, which is so not like him. He's a lively soul that radiates joy and loves to laugh. So seeing this mundane side of him when I need him to be his usual self the most breaks my heart even more.But maybe it's the universe punishing me.Punishing me after giving me such a wonderful creature of a man and still having the audacity to cheat on him with some piece of shit just for some few seconds of fun...I hope he never finds out. To hurt Seven after all the love he has shown and given me... To lose him would break my heart a million times.I want him.And I'm going to be serious with him.And I'll NEVER EVER cheat on him.EVER AGAIN!
Fidel?It doesn't make any sense.According to the police, he was caught overspeeding and coincidentally, his fingerprints matched with the fingerprints collected at the crime scene.He's the one.He's the one who has been leaving those death notes at my door.But why?"Because I hate you!" he exclaims. "I fucking hate you! You tore apart my best friend and now you're here to finish him off completely!"So that's the reason?"CJ is helping you, right?" I ask cooly, my hands on top of the rough table separating the both of us.Fidel smirks. "So, you want to drag him into this so he can get locked up? No bitch! He wasn't part of this so leave him out of this!"I narrow my eyes at him. "So this was it? Because of CJ? That's why you kept tormenting me!"Fidel leans in to whisper. "And I'd do it again till you vanish from our lives again! This tim
"It was you, right?"Jessica takes off her sunglasses. "Me?""Fidel's accomplice, right?"Jessica sighs. "Can you let me in? Please? I want us to talk."I hold the door firmly. "Whatever you have to say, say it now.""It's about my husband, Fidel..." she starts nervously. "I need your help."I stare sharply at her. "It was you, right? You were his accomplice in all this..."Jessica swallows hard. "Yes.""So, what do you have to say to me?" I ask coldly."I'm sorry... On behalf of my husband. We are sincerely sorry..."I scoff. "What do you want, Jessica?"She heaves a sigh nervously. "Please drop the charges against my husband."I burst into a laugh. "Are you bei
"Syrr... Syrr...""Syringe?" I ask in panic.CJ is still trembling, foam trickling down the edges of his mouth as he points at his desk."Where? Where?"He points to the drawers and I quickly open and see a syringe on top of a book. He points to his bicep and I quickly inject on the part.Immediately I inject him, he passes out leaving me freaked out.Fuck! What has happened? Did I kill him?I bend down to listen to his pulse but I hear nothing. Totally nothing.My heart stops.My whole body freezes.The only thing I can think of right now is, he's dead. And I killed him.I killed him! I killed him!A mighty cough overwhelms me with joy and relief.CJ coughs and pants so loudly, gasping for air.
CJ is quick to go and hug his mom.She hugs him tightly, sniffing his scent and ruffling up his long hair like he's some kid.CJ is the first to pull away from his mom's tight embrace. The minute they are apart, her eyes land on me and she gasps,"You!"She looks at me in horror, her eyes almost about to pop out of their sockets. Someone might think she just saw a ghost.CJ whispers something in her ear and she calms down a bit and goes still. She starts walking towards me, sneering at me then right past me, completely ignoring and snobbing me.That was weird.She grabs a glass of wine from a waitress and raises it to all the guests in the room."To my comeback!"Everybody cheers joyfully to that.Heaven enters a few minutes later arrayed like the empress of the empire. The minute CJ's mom sees her, she screams so loudly and happily.Heaven runs to embrace her tightly. CJ's mom touches her cheek and pec
