VALENTINE'S DAY A plan of my own
Ethan’s P.O.V“Does the name Guillotine ring a bell?” The declaration was followed by a small cackle, and I felt goosebumps peel across my neck. “You don’t have much time to tell me what you want.”I felt my heart stop in my chest as I gripped the phone even tighter than before, what in God’s name was going on? I was looking for this man and now he was calling me.“What do you want?” I asked for starters, my heart thumping in my chest, the voice of the man on the phone with me now sounded like a man in his mid-sixties, yet it was still the scariest voice I had ever heard. “How did you get my phone number?”“You can only ask me ten questions are you sure you want to waste those slots asking unreasonable things?” He asked me teasingly, and my breathing became labored. I don’t think he is lying, there are only a few people who would know Guillotine, the author of Valentine’s Day and that could be Valentina, Travis, and I.“If you had found me would you be asking me those same questions?”
VALENTINE'S DAY Secret Out
Valentina’s P.O.VI turned off the lights in my room and shut the door, another new day to attend school, I hadn’t gone there in three weeks due to my health conditions. Even though I was excited to be there, there was something that kept me from going.That was Ethan.Just thinking about him made my hands tremble against the keyhole, I never gave him an answer, not to mention how I abruptly disconnected him the other day.Just like he had promised me, he never once called me since that day, he didn’t even text me to know how I was, and he just stopped trying altogether.I know I should be happy, he had finally given up, but I don’t know why I am now so sad.He sounded genuine over the phone, but I was still confused, I had every reason to distrust Ethan, but I don’t know why I feel he could be telling the truth.If he was telling the truth, why would Travis lie about his friend?“Good morning, Nathan.” I waved to my little brother as soon as I reached the dining table, Ron was in the
VALENTINE'S DAY Who you truly are?
Lucille’s P.O.VJust as I was planning to push Valentina to the ground again, she turned on her heels and ran away. Travis was right, this was the best time to disgrace her if I wanted to, and the perfect time to make her hate Ethan, hereby destroying their relationship for good. At first, I didn’t believe it when Travis told me about her real father, and I also thought it was strange that she had never brought any of her parents to any events, even when it was necessary; she was always giving one excuse after the other. I had to do an intensive search to confirm Travis's speculations, I was going not only against Valentina but also Ethan, I wouldn’t like to be the laughing stock instead and all that was possible with my father’s connection. As soon as I was able to confirm it, I posted the proof on the school platform, just to make sure the bitch doesn’t lie, and just as I thought she fucking tried to deny it. The other students weren’t fazed because they already knew the truth
VALENTINE'S DAY A winning bet
Ethan’s P.O.VI went to the washroom for a minute because it was uncomfortable for me to just keep ignoring Valentina’s innocent stares, Valentina seemed to be hesitant about something, and I could bet she wanted to talk to me.I smirked back at my reflection in the mirror, could it be that she missed me? I would be glad if she stopped me before the ends of today, I was also itching to talk to her, but I didn’t want to break the promise I made to her.But it was a completely different story if she was the one who wanted to talk to me instead, I cleared my throat. I got out of the washroom, there were some students discussing in the hallway as I headed back to the cafeteria.“It’s a total mess.” One of them whispered. “I started to feel sorry for her, Lucille shouldn’t have to go so far.”“I tell you, you don’t want to be on Senior Lucille’s bad side.” The other replied immediately.Lucille? Is this anything related to Valentina? I hastened my steps towards the Cafeteria and when I got
VALENTINE'S DAY Not Worthy enough
Valentina’s P.O.V“What the hell are you all doing?” I heard a very familiar voice, it boomed with authority making everyone stop what they were doing, I winced in pain, I dropped to the ground my face was filled with confusion but I knew I had to press down against the side of my belly, that is if I didn’t want to die yet. “Have you all lost your minds?”I glanced at Ethan and I quickly wiped the blood away from my nose, he started walking towards us, both of his hands were balled into a fist and his jaw was clenched… he seemed to be angry because he was glaring at us, a painful moan escaped my lips and I glanced at the palm of my hand, it was filled with blood.“Why are there a bunch of unreasonable adults doing this to a child?” He reached the bottom of the stairs and yelled again, “Where is the fucking security? Kick these psychopaths out of here at once!”“Unreasonable?” The older woman who held on to my collar previously, the one who called the name of her daughter, Lilian. I gr
VALENTINE'S DAY Listen to me
Ethan’s P.O.VI couldn’t explain just how afraid I was when Valentina ran back in the direction of the school, I initially thought she was going up to the roof but luckily for me, she ran into the lady's bathroom, and I ran after her.I wasn’t going to leave her, she slammed the door against my face, but just because I could hear her voice I already knew she was safe.We just have to get through today together and then I know that I have won my bet, this time around, it would be me changing the whole plot, just like I had sworn to him, that I would do anything to keep Valentina alive.“Valentina, please open the door.” I banged the door slightly, I didn’t want to scare her, I just wanted her to know that I was still there, and no one needed to tell me, I know that she doubted me already and it was only right that she did; I was the only outsider who knew her secret and then suddenly, big mouth Lucille and the whole school knows too. “I know what you are thinking but I can swear to you
VALENTINE'S DAY Take me instead.
Ethan’s P.O.VMy eyes widened when I noticed the red liquid streaming from underneath the door, my eyes narrowed down at it, and then my mouth hung open. “Valentina…” I whispered to myself because I hadn’t heard her voice in the last two seconds, I reached my fingers to the floor, inspecting the liquid to confirm that it was truly blood. “Valentina!!” Her name escaped my lips in a terrified shriek and I got up immediately, leaning into the door trying to hear even the slightest movement from the other side of the door, but it was eerily quiet.“Valentina, if you can hear me please say something,” I yelled as I banged on the door even harder than the first time. “Valentina, are you hurt?”There was still nothing, I knew I needed to break down the door, because if the blood belonged to her, then it was terrible because she had lost a lot of them already. I took a few steps away from the door and kicked it a few times before it finally fell off its hinges.My heart fell at the sight o
VALENTINE'S DAY The plot of the book
Ethan’s P.O.V“Since you were the last person to witness Valentina’s last moment, did she tell you anything?” One of the private detectives the school had employed questioned me, I was seated in the waiting room of the hospital.Valentina had been confirmed dead by a medical practitioner about five minutes ago, she died due to exsanguination, and it was practically my fault.It could have been a different thing to say if I had given in to my original instinct of breaking down the door instead of conversing with her, If only I had called the emergency sooner, she would be alive, probably in shock but it was still better than being dead.“Mr. Lords…” The other detective called me, he clutched the jotter in his hands to his sides and he moved his other colleague to stand in front of me. “I understand you are grieving, and this is very difficult for you, but for the sake of the ongoing investigation, we need your statement.”The words bounced off the walls of my ears, I wasn’t in the stat
