[Athena Ophelia]

"I haven't been here in a very long time"I said walking towards Apollo's grave

"I figured"He shrugged. Putting his hands inside his jacket and we both stand infront of his grave. I walk beside the grave and bend down towards its height

"I'll grab the uh, flowers"He said and I nod. Once he was out of sight, i sigh.

"Hey, Apollo"I said

"It's been 2 years? I don't know I lost count after a while"I said

"Everything change, I used to talk to you about my days and people at school would think that I'm crazy"I continued

"Well, Iris have her dream job, Ares are very adoreable. He's a gentleman"I said

"Yes, I somehow with the last person you want me to be seen with"I sigh looking down at my hand

"It's all because a damn party"I chuckled

"You can't blame a 18 year old girl that wants to live"

"One day, Maggie saw them in the woods kill a man. She told the police even though we told her not to tell"I said

"A few days after, he kidnapped all three of us. We tried to escaped and well, I got stabbed but that's not the worst things that have ever happened to me there past 2 years"I continued. I feel the tears coming and I sucked in a deep breath before talking

"The night we tried to escape, Maggie screamed out for help. Then the police come knocking at the door and he killed her. Right infront of us. Showing no remorse at all"I said and a single tear escaped

"And 1 week later, Stasia escaped while I was sleeping. She wanted to find some help. I woke up with Shawn yelling at her. And you guessed it, he killed her again right infront of my eyes. He make sure I was watching"I whispered

"He takes me out for a drive and he told me about you"

"Then, a police came to the door in the morning after that drive. We moved to his parents building for a few days. His sister, Aaliyah is a sweetheart. We talked to his father and he sent me back to the room we'll be staying in"

"Shawn came back all beat up and ofcourse you know me that I can't stand seeing people hurt. So I cleaned him up. They invited us for a dinner and that's where things started to get messed up"I said

"His father and him fight. He stormed out of the room and I followed him. I tried to calmed him down but it backfired. He yelled at me and hurt my feelings. Still am until now"I said

"And that, my brother is what you have missed these past 2 years"I said, sighing

"I was suppoused to be at school, laughing with Maggie and Stasia at their stories while eating french fries. Care about school and not caring if we'll live another day before they killed us"

"We were supposed to graduate in a few weeks, go to a prom dateless. But I guess I won't have it. No stories to tell"I said imagining the things that would happen if we didn't go to that stupid party. The tears rushed down my cheek and sigh

"I miss home. I miss everything I used to have before it's taken away from me"I said wiping away the tears

"And now why would I tell you this? You're my annoying brother that would be the last person I'd tell my secrets to"I joked and see Shawn walking towards my direction with two red Roses in his hand

"Sorry, I couldn't find a nearest florist"He said and I nod. We stayed for a couple more minutes before walking back to his car. The ride back was silent. Really silent that you could hear your own heartbeat

[Shawn Mendes]
11:11 PM

"We have to get her back to her house. The police started to get suspicious with us"Sammy said

"He's right dude, we have to let her go back"Jack said

"We don't h--"

"Yes we do. The police are one step away from finding out and there is no way in hell I'm going back to jail"Jack said

"Bring her back home, man"Sammy said

"I could hear her cries in the bathroom at 2 am"Jack said and I stayed silent

"Fine"
