LOVE LIKE NO OTHER

sinking in fear

Eliza POV:

The party was a mess, I expected that Mr Rivera would yell at me but surprisingly he was so supportive and appreciated us for standing against such misbehavior.

I walked towards Miah and asked her if she knew how long I was sleeping at the venue, she replied "I have no idea but maybe around an hour." I told everyone at work that I'm leaving for home.

As I was walking towards the home, the incidents of the party were flashing on my mind. I reached home and it was so dark I guess it was a power supply issue so I closely opened the bedroom door and tried to find a candle from the drawer, but couldn't find one. I then heard a thud sound from the kitchen. As I walked towards the kitchen I could feel some liquid under my feet. With the help of the flashlight from my phone I was now able to see, I screamed my lungs out as my tears started rolling down, it was blood.

I ran towards the bedroom and locked my door and shut all the windows. Something was off about everything that night, I was unable to figure it out. I was sweating so bad and my breath was catching up. I calmed down and tried to call Miah but it was unreachable and then I heard the doorbell ring and I was scared to death.

I took up my courage and walked towards the door with a stick. I slowly asked "who is this?" No one answered. I was panicking now, my voice was shivering and yet again I asked "Who the hell are you??" and yet again no one answered. I decided not to open the door and in the flash of light speed I ran to my bedroom and locked the door.

It was already 3 am now and yet the electricity was not back, at sharp 4:15 am the electricity came back and I was kinda relieved now. I walked out of the bedroom and my eyes popped out as I saw Lily was dead and the blood was almost dried up. I yelled and cried so badly.

I took off from my work and decided to say goodbye to Lily in a proper way.

It was night again but I was not sure how I would survive it again. I was tense and I had no idea who had broken into my house and killed Lily.
Lily was the only one who was literally close to my heart and also who was alive but now it feels like I'm destined to live a life of loneliness.

The next morning just brought me emptiness and nothing else. I felt my life would now break apart cause all I had was myself so, I needed to stand up and work for my better future but before that I decided to say a proper goodbye to lily again, no one has ever being this long with me as lily did.

It was tough, goodbyes are the hardest part of our lives but it's necessary sometimes to move on. When I reached work, I was not socializing much as I was not at all in the mood to talk or have fun. I finished my shift and walked home. As I opened the door of my home, the whole house was a mess, "Oh shit! Not again" I shrieked. Someone broke in and it's absolutely terrifying now to stay here. I closed all the doors and windows to ensure my safety. That's when I heard a knock on my door, my eyes popped out and my heart started racing. I was terrified but it was time to bring some action. I got hold of the stick next to me and headed to open the door. "Ahhhhhhhhh '' I screamed as I opened the door, my eyes closed and I started hitting someone and I continued doing it until I heard "what's wrong with you? I'm Eric!!!!" My heart started racing up even more then. I was stunned "why are you here, at thi- this time of the day?" I questioned him with some awkwardness. "It's night time, '' he chuckled and answered. "But why are you so tensed that you started hitting me, is something wrong with you these days?!" He asked. "First come in '' I said. As he walked in he was slowly peeking around the hall and making sure everything was alright. "Where is lily?" He asked. I avoided his question by asking him "what you want to drink?" He didn't pay much attention and said "water is fine ''.

We talked casually and it was late now so he stood up and said "Don't mind me coming this late, I just wanted to check on you, sorry if you felt any inconvenience" he said. "You're being too formal to me, as if we never knew each other" I said. Silence surrounded us for few seconds and then someone knocked on the door, I wondered who is it now, in fraction of seconds Eric pulled me into his arms and we fell on the couch as the bullet sounds are running in the background, I didn't understand anything it all seemed so dreamy and unreal to me, "what's happening?!" I asked in worry. "Someone wants you to be dead" he said.
