February Apocalypse: Valentine's is Dead

ACT 3: Dusk

Jake's POV
February, 13 ,2018

February 13, a day I cannot manage to forget,three years have passed,but still I remember the day. The day where everything screwed up to the point of losing them; losing myself, my family. Mom, dad, and zinnia. They all lost their lives in front of me. I thought I'll be joining them afterwards. But I was wrong, here I am ,alive. Mommy was 48 years old, daddy was 49, and zinnia the girl I love the most next to mom, was only 15, yes; 15 as we are childhood friends, best friends: until I realized she was not fit for a friend. We were fit to be more than friends.
*flashback
We are on our way to the beach riding on our family car kia picanto. We are driving in the curve of the highway when suddenly "blaagshhhh" our car crashed with an SUV counter flowing. "Uhhghh. What the hell happened" as I woke up feeling dizzy. "Crap! Mom?.. Dad?. Babe?! God help me! Help!! Anybody?!!" I swore after seeing my parents and zinnia unconscious and covered in blood. I yelled and shouted for help but no one can hear me, I continued to shout, finally I see by standers rush to help me. I begged for help while extending my arms then loses my consciousness.
*end of flashback
It is raining... So hard.. I rubbed the lenses of my glasses using my white tank top. "I miss you guys, mom, dad, babe. Why did I even managed to live this long without you three on my side" tears slowly dropped. "Tok tok tok!!, Jake? Are you there? Dinners ready!" A familiar voice called me after knocking three times. "Yes grandma I'll be downstairs in a minute" I replied gently. I heard grandma's footsteps. "Mom, dad. I'll promise I'll be a good boy a good grandson to grandma. I'll never forget what you taught me. The dusk that ended your days shall be a new dawn for grandma and me, zinnia. Babe don't leave my side, I know you're watching me at the heaven above" I wiped my tears and gone downstairs.
"Jake how's your day dear?" Grandma asked me after placing the bottle of juice at the table. "My day's great grandma. I managed to Finnish the booth for tomorrow's valentines day celebration. You should attend and watch the program tomorrow grandma. I heard the performances would be great." I responded gladly but grandma never knew reyna was giving me a hard time. I should not tell about Reyna's unbearable attitude towards me or there will be world war 3. "Dear I wish I could but the city hall has a program as well. But don't worry I'll try to catch up." What a letdown. But I know she's busy. "Oh is that so grandma. I'm expecting you to catch up." She pats my head then gives me a glass of juice.

Dr. Stanly's POV

"Leah! Are the specimens ready!?" I asked Leah about project V. "Yes sir. All the specimens are ready to be shipped any minute now."  I nodded as a sign of contentment. Then I grinned as I picture out how gruesome it would be. "Sir are you sure about this? It can be a big problem" the question made my eyebrows arched even more. Instead of answering I turned my back and faced Leah afterwards. Pinned her against the laboratory wall like couples into kissing. But this ones different. "You dare question my resolve? You dare question the greatest doctor which discovered a new scientific breakthrough?" I moved my face closer to her. She moved her face sideways as a sign of obedience, "if you don't want to be part of this scientific breakthrough you can likely be just one of my specimens Leah." I added, then I moved away from her and sat on my office chair.
"Tomorrow shall be central city's dusk, where everything turns dark." Evil laughs on cue.

Leah's POV

I was shocked about doc's behavior, something happened in Feb 14 the he hates the date so much, I know. But I don't know what exactly happened. He was so hot headed after I asked him if he's sure about launching project V and its possible complications.

My name is Leah Gatchalian.
18 years old. Assistant of Dr. Stanly. Doc adopted me after my family died in a car crash 3 years ago. After hearing that I don't have anywhere to go, doc offered me to be his assistant in exchange of adoption. I accepted the offer. I didn't go to school. Doc taught me every essential knowledge I needed.
After doc scolded me for questioning his resolves. I returned to my room then  took a shower. The water is cold as it falls slowly from my head down. I looked at the mirror. My body is mature, you're grown gorgeously Leah I said intra personally while holding my chin. "Doc seems to be lusting for your body oh Leah. You could make a good wife to him!" What the heck am I saying? I grinned as I imagined how lustful he would touch me head to toe.. What a life it would be. "What the heck Leah. You're an assistant not a whore." I took my towel then got out of the bathroom. I wore my pajamas then sat on my bed and wore my glasses. I laid on my bed while reading article about Einstein's theory of relativity. Einstein must have been really a big deal. Doc stanly shall be like him after project V. "We shall be known as the greatest eisenburg couple in scientific community!" But its unlikely possible Leah. Doc sees you as an assistant not a woman worth of marriage.
Then I remembered that doc is trying to target and release specimens in central city high school. I remembered the name, the name of that kid who also survived the crash. What was it? Monte?... Monte?? "Ah... Jake Raven Monte!!" Damn that name makes my blood boil. Monte, the family name of the man who killed my family. Its probably his last year in school. Yeah last year in school. Because he shall die in that school. No he will die in that school.
HAHAHA!! as I laugh devilishly.
