The Lies In Our Love (book 1)

Ninth lie

He laughs and faces the camera that was planted in the gym.

"Aliyah Herion. Come to gym before another friend of yours is killed." He pulls tal's hair towards the camera. She's bruised and tears are rushing down her face.

"Please... aliyah whatever you did, just do what he says..." She sobs and hiccups.

"Yeah aliyah, do what he says." Kane mocks Tal. He kicks her I the head.

"You won't get away with this!" Says a teacher in the back round.

Kane shoots her.

"But you might really want to come help her." He says.

Dylan turns off the TV. Tears rush down her face.

"What are you going to do?" She asks.

"What I have to."

This is it. I don't know what I'm going to do. But I know that it's going to be something crazy.

Each step I take towards the school is in slow motion. The police sourounding the school offer to have some officers come in with me, but I refuse. I just can't believe that in a week, I find myself in a life or death situation with someone I barely know.

I push the gym doors, and the smell of blood overwelms me.

"Look who decide to come!" He notices my discomfort to the smell. "Aww, poor you. Does this smell disturb you? You shul be used to it, it's not your first time."

I approach him as continues to taunt me. I notice the camera he put on the stage to show the world the disgusting things he does. Aware that he's streaming this, I move slower.

I'm right beside him. "What do you want? I don't know you." I whisper.

"Yes but 'dad' says that you shouldn't get too close to the 'gift' for it is almost time." He whispers back.

"You killed two of my friends for that?!" I yell.

"Ouch, don't yell in my ear."

The police rush in and arrest him and his father.

The malicious smile returns." Remember, don't get to attached."

The police lead me out of the school.

I enter my father's hospital room and a furious mother is awaiting me.

"May I know why you went to a crime scene?! Why the police questioned you?!" She yells.

"Mom let me explain-"

"No! You are grounded until, until... your father wakes up!"

"You can't do that!"

"Hoho! Yes I can! And watch me do it! We're going home!"

"You are!"

I run past nurses and arrive in my car. I turn it on, and immediately go to the forest space.

I get out of my car, lock it, cross the river. I fall in, grateful that I left my phone in the car to avoid my mom. I cross the rest of the river and make my way to the wall of vines. I look at the Sky. It's evening, and the orange Sky is the perfect back round for the pinkish clouds. The sun is going to sleep. I admire it for a few more seconds before pushing through.

Austin raises his head. "I know what happened." He says.

Tears fall one by one out of eyes. I run to him, with his arms wide open waiting for me. I let myself fall into him. He holds ne tight. At the moment, he's the only one who I love that isn't mad with me or almost dead.

Wait, I just said I love Austin. We don't talk much, we known each other for a few days.

But now I know, that this is my love story, a love at first sight. And that my love, Austin Sire, loves me as well. The first time he admitted it, I was clueless on what to answer; but now I know.

"I love you too, Austin."
