Soulmates...
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!
TRENT Get over yourself!
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.
TRENT I'm too classy for that
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
