Elena twirled, showing off her gown. It was a black sleeveless one with a flare from her lower bust to her knee. It had artificial flowers stitched all over the neckline with a black lacy belt sewn onto it. She had her hair tied up in a neat bun and had matching black flats on. Daniel was able to successfully sweet talk the sisters into allowing them go. Whatever or however he said it, they gave him their support and also developed a soft side for him. "It's not a funeral, you know," Luke commented as he checked her out. "So much black." "Thanks for the compliment." Luke gesticulated with his fingers, making Elena roll her eyes. "Where's your purse? Girls carry purses around with them." "For what?" "Duh," it was his turn to roll his eyes. "To keep their makeup, tissues and you know, girl stuff." "Well, that's why I have you," she s

Elena sighed. Her eyes ran through the hallways as she hoped she'd see anyone she knew. Just anyone would be fine. She knew she was already 25minutes late for class, that not even motivating her to head towards class faster. She slowly slammed her locker shut, throwing the notebook and pens she collected from it into her bag. She didn't see Luke in the morning. Either he went to school really early or he was going really late. She had uselessly lurked around, hoping to see him before leaving for school thus she got late. She had maths. Positive that June would be in class already, she hoped she saved a seat for her next to hers. She couldn't imagine eyes following her as she looked for a seat to sit. If she was unlucky, her annoying classmates would fill the empty seats next to them with their backpacks immediately they saw her approaching. Not that they hated her, they did it everytime someone was l

Elena stared at the ceiling she had been staring at for the past one hour.  She laid on her bed, resting her head on her tears soaked pillow. She was exhausted. She was tired. She felt alone. She had never felt that way in her whole life. She and Luke never fought. They disagreed on trivial matters but never actually got angry at each other. "Elena, it's time for dinner," Lily said to her. "Are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine," she sniffled. "I'm not hungry, thanks." Lily looked at her for a while before replying. "Okay, take care of yourself." "Mhm mhm." She sat up, picking  her phone. Elena: lol. Me and Luke just had this huge argument. She exhaled at the familiar sight of bubbles floating on the screen. Daniel: Hey. What happened? Daniel: How are y

The empty room resonated with the sound of the slap Conor threw across June's face. "You careless little thing! I warned you to be careful," he spat. "I'm sorry," June stuttered. "I didn't want this to happen. I swear i-" "Save your chitchats for someone who cares," he said, placing his hands around her neck. "I warned you. I even paid for your trip to Ireland so you could keep an eye on her and in return?" "I'm sor...sorry," June managed to say, choking as a result of Conor's strangling. He let go of her, pushing her to the floor.  June rubbed her neck as she kept on coughing. She tried to cover her mouth knowing the sound of her cough would only anger Conor more.  "I'm sorry. I'll try my best to fix this" she continued. "I'll do anything you ask me to." "Oh, you will do anything I ask you to," he smiled, devilishly. "Who else

Elena winced.   "Ow, my head," she groaned in pain as she looked around. Where was she? She looked around again. It was wide room with small windows covered by dirty curtains, making it suffocating. The paint on the wall was faded, different stains and marks plastered to it. There was a wooden table and chair at the corner of the room, several empty crates, bottles and cigarettes box laying carelessly around. It looked like an old abandoned room.   She tried to move immediately realizing her hands were tied. She wiggled, trying to free her legs that were tied too. She tried to remember how she got there but instead her terrible headache reminded her of its presence.    "Oh my God," she whispered on realizing what had happened to her. She was kidnapped! Tied up and locked in a strange room too.   "Oh my God, June!" She yelled as she spotted June laying lifelessly on the floor few inches away from
