TEAM ALEX? OR TEAM DAREN?

ENJOY.

Terrible, scared, nervous, anxious.
It was all I was feeling right now.
I felt like I was given the candor truth serum.
They'd done so much for me, till today, I think they deserve to know the truth, they deserve to know everything.
I neither know how they are going to react, nor do I have any freaking idea what they would think of this as.

"Um... Guy's" I started, my eyes going teary as the memories of all the torture of these days came rushing in my head like a movie.
I felt so upset. Maybe this could be the last thing that could scare me enough after whatever happened to me.

"Eliza what's wrong?" Daren asked worriedly, coming by my side.
I moved away from his touch, not because it repelled me, because it was too warm to put the fire inside me to ease, to calm me down.
But to be clam, was the last thing I wanted to do right now.
I've to do this myself, man up and tell them the truth. That because of me their lives could be endangered.
Alex was right, I cannot fight this battle alone, and I don't want to.

"You're freaking us out." Andy said, as he stood in front of me, clearly worried.

"Guys, there is something... I have to say, you all have to know the truth, "It's something... I .."
I fell short on words. I had no idea where to begin from. No words that could express what I was going through.
To say that I got myself into something so insane.
Not that it was my choice or anything.
"Take this." Claire bought a glass of water; I gulped it down in one sip.

"Okay" I released a breadth.
"I think I'm screwed." I started.
I know, what a way to start, but I really couldn't think anything smart at this point.
I told them everything, explained everything.
The first MMS of Daren. I saw Alex's eyes widen at the mention of the man from the ice-cream shop, and soften when I explained how the cigarette ashes fell on me. I told them about how I followed the man, and what I found out, That the creep and the man from the ice-cream shop were two different people. I told them about yesterday. Daren's face immediately looked disgusted at the mention of Carmen's name. I completed with a big sigh, as tons of weight were lifted off my shoulders.

"Why dint you tell us?!" Madison whispered, clearly hurt, that I dint see her worthy of my problems.
"He threatened me, that you'll will have to pay the price, If I tell it to anyone. And at first I thought it was someone's weird prank, I probably thought it was Andy or Cole. But then it actually grew serious, and after yesterday, I thought I should tell you'll, ask you'll to be more careful." I said.

They all nodded in understanding, and Claire ran up to me, and hugged me, crying as well.
"Why me?" I whispered.
Who was I kidding? I knew it too well. It actually dint even have an answer. They all looked at me, one emotion clear in their eye,
sympathy,
I've always resented this look, but my life made me habituated to it.

"Let's go to the police." Cole said who quiet all this while was.
Everyone agreed, but I was still unsure, If he is still stalking me, and hearing this, I'm sure he is going to do something about it.

And then, there was an explosion!
A big sound, echoing through the walls, shaking up the floor, and scaring the crap out of me, pushing us to sit on the floor, hands over our heads. The kind of sound, that made all the frames in my house to fall down, shatter in pieces. I heard a distant sound, all the glasses and plates in the kitchen fall and break, probably breaking the floor along with them. I shut my eyes tight, trying to calm myself down, I felt Alex's strong arms around me, shielding me from any damage. I looked through my clasp hands around my eyes, I saw Cole holding Madison the same way Alex was holding me, Daren hiding under the chair, Claire and Andy trying to get up from their position together.

"What was that?" Madison asked sounding scared.
Just then, my phone beeped, and I instantly crawled my way to and read.

Unknown: Tell a soul more, and I'll burn your whole world down.
Game over, It's time.

My hands shook violently, eyes widened, as I read it, Alex took the phone from my hand, his eyes popping out as he read it.

"GO" I said
They all looked at me with confused eyes.
"You'll go!! You'll can't be here!!" I said.
This can't be happening, not to them, not because of me.

"NO! You are one, who is not staying here." Madison screamed.
she walked to Alex, snatched the phone from him, and typed.

ME: Game is not over, the game is still on. Do what you can, because now we've had enough, wait to meet your end.

"Maddy! What did you do! This man is dangerous, we have to be cautious!" I said.
"Yeah, and let him walk all over us? Destroy your house?" Daren said, taking her side.
"She could stay with me, Tessa would love some company." Alex piped in with what seems a brilliant idea to others.
"Yeah, I think that'd be good." Madison agreed.

Okay, that's it.
"Can I please have a say in this?!!!!" I screamed to shut them out.
"NO." Daren said with a stern voice, the voice that said, just agree or die.
"Eliza pack your stuff." He added.

I felt like an idiot, a person who is too weak to fight. I sighed.
And thats how my 18th birthday was...
Mournful, explosive and with tears.
