Unknown POV

I stared at the girl slowly as she left with her food.

To be quite honest. I hate this.

I hate my job.
I hate my dad.
I hate my life.
I hate me.

The guilt I feel every time I see her is just so excruciating to the point that I could feel as if I get electrocuted to death.

Why her? Why does she have to suffer the consequences of the sins she didn't even commit.

Why? Was it her fault she was born? Did she have a choice? No!

And the thing I hate the most is that I don't even have the guts to fight for her. I wouldn't even dare adventure myself into my dad's raging side.

I grabbed my hair in frustration as I pushed my guilt aside.

Her POV

I walked with Ren in these halls as my mind was wrecked with my thoughts.

I was wearing a black hoodie and a pair of jeans as I let my wavy, long brown hair flow down until my waist.

"Hey, Ley, are you okay?" Ren asked with concern written all over his face.

"Yeah, I'll just go to the toilet, I'll see you in first period, yah?" I said as I ran off, not waiting for us reply.

I ran with my head down, scared that people might recognize me and criticize me.

I kept on running until a big wall crashed into me forcing me to face reality head on.

His blue green eyes looked at mine with curiosity.

"Uhh, what are you doing here?" He said a bit shocked.

"I-uhh-I am a-uhh- a journalist! Yeah, that's right. My teacher sent me here to write an article about the education here." I said stuttering a bit.

"Oh.... Kay?" He said with quite uncertainty. I took this as a chance to dash for the Ladies' Room.

I stayed there for awhile until I was sure I wasn't freaking out.

I went to first period and fortunately, my teacher wasn't there yet.

I took a seat beside Ren and gave him an assuring smile.

The teacher came and everything was well.

At least it was well then.

Lunch break came and I decided to wait for Ren in a secluded table in the far right corner of the cafeteria.

After a while, he texted me and told me he couldn't come since he was needed in the Yearbook committee.

I decided to eat in the field since I was hoping for some kind of space.

I was walking when my path was blocked by a certain someone. Or should I say devil?

"Oh look, babe, the murderer is back." Drake said while looking at me.

"Oh no, Drakey boo, she might make me blind again." Soomi snickered.

"You know what? Just shut your mouths up if you don't know any better than me!" I shouted at them as tears burned my eyes.

Drake just leaned in and said, "Of course we know better than to kill our own father." And with that he left me.

He left me as my healing wounds were reopened. As he tore my heart again into pieces.

I went to the roof. My great escape.

The winds rushed past me just like how they took away my father's last breath.

I felt a pair of arms wrap around me.
"Just cry it out, I'll be here." He said in the saddest voice I have ever heard.

I cried out loud as his warmth surrounded me.

I cried out loud as his heart beats calmed me down.

I cried out loud knowing his heart broke for mine.

And that was for the longest chapter I have ever written.
