"NO,NO,NO! Patricia, stay with me! Don't do this!" Tyler pulled me out of the water in a rush. He couldn't bare to lose me but I just couldn't bare to lose Stephen. I felt this guilt all over me because I couldn't give all of me to Tyler. Tyler loved me. Always. But I didn't love him as much as I did for Stephen.
I cough out water as I regain consciousness.
"Why? W...hy are you sa...ving me?"
"You don't deserve to die." He wrapped me with a blanket, pulling me closer to him.
"I do." I remind myself constantly that there was no point living. It was best I die.
"But i love you." I could see the pain he holds in his heart just knowing I would die for another.
"I don't love you as much as i love him."
"I don't care. I don't care if you love somebody else. i don't want you to die while some girl gets to live. You need to fight."
"How?" I wondered.
"Crush the cinderella." And with that, he reopened my senses, putting me back on track. I wouldn't let her take away my happiness.
I was awakened by Stephen's voice in the middle of the night. He was not fully conscious but he was so afraid as he was talking to himself in his sleep. Something was bothering him and it made me so worried.
"No,no,no,no! please Jemma, please, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it! I swear! Please forgive me. I'm sorry." He sounded scared.
"Shh....it's okay. I'm here Stephen. It's okay," I said, putting my arms around him to comfort him. I just don't understand why he was calling a girl's name in his sleep.
"Do you want to talk about it." I whispered, running my hands through his hair.
"No." He said silently, burying his face on my chest.
"Okay." I couldn't sleep, knowing that Stephen was hiding something from me. What does Jemma mean to him? Who is she?
I was still closing my eyes, touching the side of the bed where Stephen's body laid but he wasn't there. I stood up and looked around. Where is he? I notice a note he left on the bed saying; 'I went to a nearby store to get some food.' I sighed feeling a little relieved. I stood up for a shower. After dressing up, I went to the kitchen and i saw a note on the refrigerator 'enjoy your meal'. I smiled happily as I opened the fridge.
"Let's see what my pie cooked," I opened it and saw... chicken salad sandwich.
"Oh my... i didn't know that he cooks." I cooed as sat down. I couldn't wait to shove this down my belly.
"Hmm...so hungry." My phone kept on ringing, distracting from this sweet dish.
"Who the hell is it now?" I looked at the screen and saw that it was carly calling. She really wouldn't give up calling, would she? I sighed and picked the call.
"What now!" I screamed on top of my voice.
"Sharon, are you crazy!" She flared up, her voice countering mine.
"Well, you the one that's been calling me on my phone!" I shrugged.
"You're the one that ran away! Mom hasn't eaten for days. We are all worried." She lowered her tone the moment she mentioned mom.
"Did dad also go on hunger strike?" I ask, even when it sounded stupid.
"Sharon! Is that what you are meant to say?"
"Hell yeah, he is the reason why i left." I remind her.
"Sharon, please come home. Dad cares too." She pleaded.
"Uhn....i will think about it later, bye." i hung up.
"Hello....hel...shit.she hung up on me." She cursed.
Stephen's pov
I brought flowers to jemma's grave. It hurt me that i didn't give her a good burial. I destroyed her life that night. Hiding such a secret and caused me so much pain. I regret that night.

"Hey guys, let's play a game." I said in a drunk state. My friends were also drunk. We were having a party at my house but we were in my room.
"What game now?" Andrey said , sitting on a cushion.
"Yeah, what game?" Stiles asked to. Nick was still busy drinking.
"Ok, any girl that comes in first, we will fuck." I laughed as i said those words.
"You mean it. Even if it's your sis?"
"You crazy? she ain't even here."
"Your mum? Cause I'm gonna fuck" Nick chuckled.
"Don't you dare mention my mum in this."
"What about Patricia?" Stiles asked. "Nick has been dying to see those legs open right in his eyes." They are all laughed except me.
"Can you stop asking questions and let's get to the game?"
A girl came in just we were still talking. She obviously looked like a freshman.
"Oh, sorry. I guess i entered the wrong place. You know this my first time coming to your party." She gave a faint smile.
"No, no, you entered the right place." I locked the door and put the key in my pocket.
"What are you doing?" jemma quivered.
"Keeping you company." I said pushing her to the bed.
"Please,don't." She begged as she tried to stop me.
"Shh....don't be scared. I'm just gonna put it in and out that's all." I undressed myself. My friends watched our drama but no one felt pity for her that night. We were all aroused and all we want us to have sex.
