The Reckless Daughter's Killer

Kidnapped?

"But what am I gonna do?"  I heard my best friend whining like a child.

"Ru,  I'd be back soon.  I promise.  You can watch TV or-"

"Or she can come with me and Emily to the gym.."  mom said cutting me off.

Ru squealed and went upstairs probably to change while I sat down on the table to eat my breakfast.  Adrian was quiet today and I wonder what happened. 

"What happened Dork?"  I asked him, joking.

He looked at me with his brown eyes which were full of grief and sorrow.  I was taken aback. 
Still he smiled and shook his head while muttering that he was 'tired.'

I knew he was lying, and it seriously pissed me off.  I saw mum going to her room and that was the moment I got up and went to his side. 

I sat on my knees and took his hands within mine. 

"We promised. We'd never lie to each other. "  I said softly,  "Please tell me what's wrong?"

He sighed. 

"I proposed Alice. Well it wasn't exactly a proposal but still I blurted out my feelings to which she just stood up and ran away saying that she couldn't.  I didn't understand why did she behave like that... I mean.. Had I misunderstood her friendship with love?"

I was stunned.  It was rare seeing Adrian so broken and vulnerable.  I've never seen him like this. 

"No! Absolutely not! Alice loves you! She confessed that to me in front of Rose!"  I explained.

"She did?"  Adrian gasped.

I nodded my head. 

"Just talk to her today.  Maybe she'll tell you why.."  I said squeezing his hands.

"I'm ready, I'm ready!!"  I heard Ru running down the stairs enthusiastically as she was going to the gym.

I laughed at her cuteness and went back to eating.

School was over and I found myself sitting in a park near the outskirts of the town.  I just needed some time alone I guess.

School had been a hell today. 

I had to bear all the pain and sadness of seeing Chris with random girls, laughing and flirting.  It was like he didn't know me at all.  He wasn't there to annoy me by calling me a stiff neither was he going to comfort me when I needed him the most.

Rosalie was busy with Jake with their project as it was due next week, so it was me and Alice most of the time.  She looked the same.. With terrible bags and bluish pale skin.  I even asked her what was wrong and she just shrugged it off like it was nothing.  Anyone could say that she was lying but I didn't wanna pressure her into telling me.

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard some person shouting. 

I frowned and got up to the direction of the voice and soon enough found myself staring at the back of a very familiar person.

"Please! I've done enough! I've caused her enough pain! I did whatever you told me to do.."  I heard him speaking on the phone with raw emotion lacing his voice.

"She's just a girl! For fucks sake I'm already going to kill her because of this! Why are you making me hurt her even more! I can't see my love suffering like that.."

My breath hitched as I gasped.

Who was he talking to and who was his love?

I saw Chris getting up and throwing away his phone furiously onto the ground, letting out a growl.
