Sapphire. The thumping on the door grew louder each time. I frantically ran back and forth, kicking the things that's came to my view and trying to search some loop hole that would let me of this place. My heart was thumping in my chest and demanded shivers that ran down my spine. I never felt this scared in my entire life. They will drug me if I go now. I can't risk it. And no one can help me. I am trapped. And suddenly, the door knob of the room broke. It fell on the floor, playing loud as the whole room went silent. I slowly approached the place and went towards the door. I unconsciously went for the broken door knob when the door blasted open, to reveal three hooded figures. "You thought you would escape and we'd let you do that?" A angry voice, which I assume is of Parker's, rang into the thin air. I gulped, staying rooted in my place. In an instant, Jake came closer to me and held my forearms tightly and pressed them together. I groaned in pain and he hushed me in the ear
Sean I was already shaking with anger when Sapphire completed narrating the story. She hesitated to look into my eyes, and oddly fumbled with the sheet of the bed. "I told you to stay away from him. He was dangerous. I knew he's messing with me. But never have I ever dreamed that he would do this." "I didn't know he was dangerous..." she mumbled. "I would have never been with him if had known.." "But why did you have to be so stubborn. I tried to tell you, Nina tried to tell you, you never listen. Did you even think of the consequences?" "In my defence, you never warned me. It was just Nina and I really am guilty about not listening to her. But why are you mad at me? I thought you've forgiven me." "Forgiven you for being foolish? Yes. Forgiven you for dating Parker? No." "Wait a second there. What makes you think that I ever dated him?" She scowled. I frowned. "What do you mean?" "That's exactly what I mean. I never dated him." What?! "What? Don't give me that look.. wait, d
Sapphire "D-Dad?" Juliette asked in disbelief. Disbelief, yes. Because standing before me was my father who disowned me years ago and whom I haven't seen for months. "Juliette. Jacob." He nodded his head. I was staring at him intently. How much I longed to look at that face. How many days I just wished he would come, if not to check up on me but at least to let me meet him. Only if I knew he would turn up if I end up in hospital, I would have tried drugging myself a lot earlier. "How is she?" He asked my sister. "I'm fine." I said. He turned to Jacob and asked. "The police?" "The students have been reported. They're interrogating them. They haven't taken Sapphire's statement yet." Sean answered for him. I almost forgot he came along with my father. My father looked at him and narrowed his eyes. "Who are you to her?" oh no.. "Boyfriend." Sean said proudly. I choked on my own saliva. What the hell??!! My father glared at him and then looked back at me. Is Sean out of his
Sapphire With that I cut the call and got out of my bed. I quickly wore a good outfit that is both warm and comfy. By then, Brett arrived. Slowly sneaking out of my house, I went to his car. "You surely have your way to get things done for you." He said, moving the car. "Tell me something I don't know." I grinned. "You were not even in this city in kindergarten." "Yea, I messed up a little there." Soon, we reached Sean's house.I got down and leaned down to look at Brett. "Good bye, baby doll." I frowned. "You are not coming in?" "Unless you want my nose broken." He chuckled. I smiled. "I'll call you when I am done." "I don't think you'll need me. Sean will never risk sending you with me." I grinned and waved my hand. His car roared away as I turned around to look at Sean's house. I never knew Sean had such a huge one. It looked so handsome. I quietly moved inside and headed to his door. And slowly, like in a slow motion, I raised my fist and knocked the door. I rang
Sapphire I sucked in a deep breathe as the words left his mouth. Sean's father is no more? "Though we never talked, though I never liked him for what he was, I don't blame him. He was in love after all.. he loved her and he waited. he waited for as long as he can remember, But my mother was stubborn. I can't blame her either, she already lost her heart to someother person.." I gasped, as my mouth gaped open. "What?" He nodded. "He was her choice. When she put him forward to my grandpa, he rejected him. My mother loved her father way too much that she married unwillingly for him. But that didn't stop her from meeting her lover. She couldn't love my father, her heart was already with someone else.." I went for his rigid shoulders and felt them relax under much touch. After a few seconds, he leaned onto me. "So, that's how it happened. My life." He said. "That's about me." Tears almost pricked at the corner of my eyes looking at his futile attempt of smiling and making me feel ever
Sapphire "Seriously, you should stop calling me that around him." I said, nodding my head toward Sean who is scowling and is right behind Brett. "Who cares?" Brett said, with a dismissing look as he took the seat next to me. "I do." Sean said sitting beside me on the sofa. "And why is that?" Brett said. Sean sent him a warning look at Brett just smirked. "I can't believe you guys skipped school for me. Thank you-" "What? Who said we did it for you?"Brett said. "You.. you skipped school not for me?" "No.. what made you think that?" Brett chuckled. "Brett, drop it." Sean said, shooting him a warning glare. Brett, with amusement glistening in his eyes, turned to me. "Did he say we did it for you?" "Yes." I said, with a little doubtful look. "Brett, just shut your mouth-" Sean said. "We didn't do it for you baby doll. Sorry if he got your hopes up." Brett cut him off. "Then why did you skip school?" I asked, curiously. "Julia invited me over to her art gallery tonight. And
Sapphire Sean had his arm wrapped around me as we stepped inside the huge room. The room was glittering with Bright lights, bestowing upon the Grand Tables. A huge chandelier hung on the top of the podium, that twinkled into the room, spreading the spark across the many gentlemen and Ladies present in the room. Thick Canvases hung around the corner of each section, with many audience admiring the little piece of art. "This place looks beautiful, Sean." I said. "But, why are we here?" "Didn't figure out yet, Pretty girl?" Sean spoke into my ear. "It's my mother's art gallery." What?! I snapped my head to look at him in disbelief. "You mother's?" "Yes." he said. "Come on, lets meet her." "What?" I said. "Are you out of your head?" "Do I look so?" "How are you going to introduce me to your mom?" I asked, with a deep frown taking over my forehead. "Easy. My girl friend." "We are not in a relationship." "But we are dating, pretyy girl. That gives me enough reasons to call you my
Sapphire "You called me, pretty girl?" Sean asked as he approached me. "Where were you?" I asked in a stern voice. I didn't know how to not show this anger anymore. It was getting into my nerves and I can't help even a bit of it. "I was with few of my mother's friends. They were forcing me to stay inside-" "-and get drunk and completely forget you have you date standing outside, waiting for you." I completed it for him. He frowned and moved closer to me. "What's wrong? Why are you mad?" "Why am I mad?" I faked a laugh. "Great. I am completely fine roaming around aimlessly in this place while you enjoy your time inside." "I was not enjoying myself inside, Sapphire, if that's what you are thinking." He said, anger evident in his voice. "A friend of my mother wanted to buy one of her painting and he had me stuck theiwr. It is my mother's art gallery and it is my responsibility to take care of it. How could you even think I'd do such a thing, satpphire? I brought you here, didn't I?
