Babe's POV
(FIVE YEARS LATER)
Paradise Creek was just a regular small town in Hamilton and this, I found out after finally visiting the town in December the next year. My mom finally let me visit since I already finished high school and I was lucky enough to graduate as my school's valedictorian.
When I got to Paradise Creek, the first thing I did was visit Pinky's grave to get rid of the doubt in my mind and after four years, the tears came rolling. She had been buried beside my aunt in Paradise Creek.
I visited where the school would have been and found out it was just a regular high school, there was nothing extravagant about it. There were only small houses in the town as it was majorly occupied by the older part of the population. My visit did not yield anything good,

Thanks for reading.Babe's POV"Finally, I'm home,"My eyes fluttered open at some point and a shining light penetrated it.I wanted to raise my hand to block the light but I realized it wasn't possible."Barbara Arnold, can you hear me?" A voice called out my name and I looked down to see a man in a white coat at the edge of the bed.Where am I?The
Babe's POV Paradise Creek' The car drove past the signboard and I heaved a huge sigh of relief because we were almost at our destination. I can't really say if it's good to be back in this community or not. It's been over four years since I left. I hope everything is still the same. I hope he still remembers me. I turned my attention from the window to study my best friend, Fred who was busy singing along to Taylor Swift's song so loudly his vocal cords could get ripped off. He didn't care, he just wanted to show his love for the music. 🎶You've got that long hair slick back, white t-shirt And I
Babe's POV Fred and I didn't talk about what happened earlier till we got to the house. Since the rest of the trip was less than fifteen minutes, Fred decided to drive while I sat beside him. "Promise me you'll be fine," he asked as he stopped the car in front of the house. I was speechless as I couldn't give him a straight answer. I never felt this empty in my whole existence. I actually didn't think I would feel this way before I left home but now that I was here, it's clear that I'm going to miss him and our friends at school and in the neighborhood. "I promise" My eyes swollen with tears, ones that I was too afraid to let them drop. "Call me if anyone does anything you don't l
Hunter's POV Without thoughts of remorse, I entered the store and waited right behind the counter, for the right moment to attack. Confronting him while everyone was here would be too dangerous. I slipped into a corner and waited till one customer was left, I rested my back against my wall while I kept on monitoring him. Once our eyes met, the smile on his face vanished, he knew who I was, he could smell what I was from a distance and he was aware of who sent me. His hand was shaking as he calculated the price of the customer's goods. He was trying to keep a straight face, trying to let the person think he was perfect but no, he wasn't, he's too fucked up to be perfect. As soon as the customer made a move to leave, I quietly followe
Babe's POV McVegas' high school might be one of the most prestigious high schools I've seen in my whole seventeen years of experience of what the world is like. As I stepped out of Pinky's car about a few seconds ago, I stood rooted at a spot, mouth half-opened and eyes about to bulge out of its socket. Surprise is an understatement. I was bewildered and dumbfounded. The size of the school was as wide as that of two neighborhoods with structures at every point and corner but with a wide guess, you'll realize the buildings connect. A fountain was right in the middle of the school and its landscape was so beautiful I could barely breathe. "Welcome to McVegas' hi
Babe's POV As soon as the English class ended, I ran out of the class not only in search of the locker area but also to avoid the stares and questions. The distinction between the lockers was different, ranging from pink lockers to blue to yellow. It is so obvious that the students decided to paint their lockers and decorate them the way they want. I opened the locker and put some of my valuables in it before I locked it and placed my bag properly on my shoulder, ready to go in search of my next class; Physics. Luckily enough, I was able to get to the class before anyone else and I sat at a desk closest to the window, not ready to disturb anyone with my business.
Babe's POVAs excited as I was for successfully leaving school, I was also sad at the fact that Hunter was that way and I still am this way. I held my palm in my hand and flashes of images; the number of times I'd done something like this appeared before my eyes.Sometimes I don't want to, but I just can't control it.I could've called Pinky to drive me home but I didn't want to because I'm still pretty mad at her.I took out my phone and continued following the directions from the Google map to be able to make my way to the bus station.My phone suddenly started ringing and I grinned once I realized it was Fred."Freddy
Babe's POVThe next morning, I was in Pinky’s car, both ears plugged in with my earphones, I was doing all my possible best to drown out her nagging that she called instructions that I needed to follow to survive McVegas high. After much persuasion from my aunt yesterday, I finally agreed to follow her to Maj’s home after school hours and apologize for what I didn't do. I agreed after she wouldn't stop screaming though.“You need to listen to me, Babe. stop pushing me out with your thoughts” she angrily yanked the earphones away from my ear. I turned to scold her but she was already glaring at me. So, I deflated back to my seat and continued looking out of the window, without an earphone this time.“Babe,” she called out.“What?”“I know you didn't do it,”I raised my eyebrow at her. “Then why didn't you defend me when your mom was throwing those accusations at me
