Chapter 4: Bloody Idiot

Chapter 4 || Bloody Idiot

~* Stephanie's P.O.V. *~

"You're kidding River, r-right?", Erika commented after a few seconds.

"I probably ain't.", River said proudly.

"How come you accepted me to have a date with you then?", she asked with her eyebrows furrowed.

"Well, I was too dumb and yes, I'm so sorry I put you on high expectations.", River said.

"Gosh, I'm feeling dizzy right now. This is totally insane."

"Drop it, River. I don't believe you.", Erika replied with a huff. "She doesn't look happy though."

"I'm not asking you to believe me, mademoiselle. Oh, she's just tired.", River replied with a chuckle. "Right darling?", he then pressed my shoulders.

"S-Stephanie, is this true? Are you and River t-together?", Erika asked me with disbelief.

I was about to answer and not waste this opportunity to be free from this dungeon, but unfortunately River interrupted me.

"E-Erika, w-we g-gotta go now. B-BYE!!!!", he said those words so fast that he was rambling. I dropped my jaw open and yes, I didn't move again.

"I really don't know what is happening."

He then grabbed my arm and ran as fast as a horse. I was running behind him that I almost tripped on the floor. "Dammit."

"BLOODY MOLLY!!!", I yelled as River pulled me closer. I looked back at Erika with pure hate on her eyes.

"Great. Now that I have a bloody enemy just because of that idiot."

I forced my arm out of Sean's grip as he stopped running and we were actually standing in the parking lot. "BLOODY HELL SEAN!! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!!", I said while panting. This time, I started to walk away from him. Luckily, my disguise and River's didn't come off while we were running, so none of us were recognized.

"Stephanie, I-I-I'm so sorry for dragging you into this. I didn't really mean to. I-I can explain it to you.", he was walking after me as he apologized to me. His eyes were begging for forgiveness.

I stopped at my tracks to face him and look at his eyes not pulling away from his gaze, "BLOODY HELL, NO NEED. I DON'T NEED YOUR APOLOGY AND I DON'T NEED YOUR EXPLANATION EITHER. WHY DON'T YOU GO FUCK YOURSELF?", I rolled my eyes as I replied to him. I heard sobs, and I realized those sobs were coming from me. I ran so fast without missing a beat that River was chasing after me. I could hear him begging for me to listen to him, but I refuse to. I saw a taxi coming and I went in to it. I am going back to the house where I can stay at peace.

And I never looked back ever again.

~* Alex's P.O.V. *~

I heard footsteps out the door and I assume it must be Stephanie. I was about to open the door, but I saw the door open forcefully, and yes, Stephanie came in stomping her feet with her cheeks puffed and and lips pursed.

"Uhh, Stephanie, dinner's ready.", I said it with a singing tone.

She didn't pause in her tracks and she just walked past me like I don't exist. I could hear her mumbling ang muttering curses to herself.

"Holy shit. What is wrong with her?"

Then the other girls went out from the living room and saw her.

"Steph, are you oka-", Maria asked, but got interrupted by the sound of a door as Stephanie slammed it shut.

"What's happened to her?", Jessica asked.
