bones in my body colder.

The look on her face was unbearable, like a puppy got kicked in the face. "Luke. Luke. Luke - Please, just please. Think about the baby, our baby!"

"I am, my Little Queen. I'm doing this for our baby girl, she'll be in Heaven...or Hell."

Elaine was still crying louder each minute, "I thought you cared about me, us, our baby!"

"I did, my Little Queen." Luke stopped talking for a minute, "Before you cheated on me!" With his last words, he slash Elaine by her heart. Elaine Weissinburg, was cold dead, the image though... He kept gashing every part of Elaine's body, mostly on her stomach. That was with -or- was with a baby, I guess it was dead along with her mother. Each slice from the knife, Luke's wicked smile got bigger and bigger. When he was finally done he looked at me, blood splash on his face.

"You didn't see that, did you?" The way he asked me was also witched evil and filled with hatred. Shit... My legs finally moved and I ran as fast as I could, with Luke chasing after me. A leg of mine failed on a step on the stairs and ending me crashing down.

The next day, I woke up in a hospital...Luke was there, staring down at me. "Hello, Dylan, how are you? You had some fall, do you remember anything...?" He questioned with a emotionless voice. I pretended that I lost my memory after the fall, so he could leave me alone.

But I'll never forget about Elaine Weissinburg, Luke Karam's first girlfriend and victim. Although, Elaine and her baby were not his only victims...there were others...

"And, Sea's next..."

Chapter 12


"Sea." There was a tap on my shoulder, still dreaming here. "Sea...?"

I mutter tiredly, "Not now Mr. Fluffykins, we're happy in Cotton Candy Land. You can wait for the cupcakes from Mrs. Teddybear. I'm hungry too..."

"Wha-? Sea, it's Dylan, wake up!"

"Dylan?" I said quietly, "Is that your first name Mr. Fluffykins? I never knew your first name is Dylan..."

"Cause I'm not fucking Mr. Fluffykins!" The annoying voice had stop talking, "I'm so sorry for this Sea - but you leave me with no choice." All of the sudden a burning hot water was pouring over my hair.

I sat up and swearing, "What the hell Mr. Fluffykins?!" Then can the chilly, icy water afterwards the boiling waters. I'm going to kill someone right now. There stood Dylan, arms crossed and was trying to hold in a laugh. "Thanks, you ruined my perfect dream!"

A grin was already on his mouth, "Let me guess, Mr. Fluffykins and you were in Cotton Candy Land and were waiting for cupcakes. Huh-? Or let me guess again, was it your last dream about say, me being your knight...?" Shit...my other dream earlier!

The heat on my cheeks had risen, "PST - what you talking about-?" My lying was horrible right now, and I could tell Dylan knew. In his mind, I knew he was laughing at me right now.

Great.

He asked playfully, "Something wrong, drool face?"

I shook my head, "Hey...Dylan can I ask you for a favor?"

"Hhhmm?" Was all Dylan replied back to me.

"Can I-I"

"I what-?"

How should I put this? "Can I go to a party after school?" Dylan's face dropped, oh no, bad news for me then.

"Who's party?" Dylan and I glance on the stairs to see Xerxes leaning on the wall. "Hello?! I asked who?"

Great. Not Xerxes also, he's absolutely going to say no for this party. "Ah - my sister's boyfriend is hosting a party, it's his graduating party."

Dylan said in a usual voice, "Sure-"

Unfortunately, Xerxes had to be in 'Protective like an older brother' mode. "-Who's going to be there?"
Oh no...

"We-Well," my words were shakily, "Heather, my sisters, Stell and Sara, and...Luk-Oh! And also I heard Alvin might come, maybe others I don't know."

Their faces turned stern and bold, "Sea. Repeat the last names."

"Huh-?" I pretended to be dumb, "You mean Alvin...?"

"No. Go back a name."

I kept my fake smile on my lips. "Stell and Sara? They're my older sisters by the way and-"

"No Sea! The name that starts with an 'L'."

This can not be good. "Luke."

They both turned to share their answers between themselves, and finally turned to me. "NO!"
Jeez, party poopers much?

---

When I finished dressing up in my school uniform, then I raced downstairs. The entire mansion was half empty since all the maids and helpers were still here.

*Ding Dong!*

 



I opened the castle-like doors to find Heather on the entrance. "Sea!"

"Heather!" I copied her really girly-girl tone.

"Ready to go?"

"Ah - yeah, Bye Nanna!"

"Bye Sea, good luck with school!" After Nanna's farewell, Heather and I skipped to the driveway. Everyone was there, including Dylan, I kinda not hate him anymore.

Dylan was staring down at the cobble stone ground of the driveway. He leaning against his precious and premium car. Then again, every single player had the most highway robbery cars known to man. From left to right, were my dream heaven of cars! I mean seriously, Aiko has a black Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster. One of my dream babies...I meant cars, not babies. While Nathan had an orange McLaren F1 and his brother Jay had a blue SSC Ultimate Aero. Spoiled brats, why can't they let me test drive their cars?!

"You done yet checking out our cars?" I turned my attention at Dylan, who's attention was cast on me. "Cause we need to go to school soon."

I blushed in embarrassment while everyone laughed at me. "Yeah...Hey Heather do you need a ride?"

She shook her head and started to march over to Aiko, "Nah- I think I'm going to ride with this cutie."

"Oh...ok..?"

Heather grinned at me, "Have fun with your little BF though." All of a sudden she winked at Dylan, something's up.

As everyone race to school, only me and Dylan were left. "So...do you want me to ride with you or- take the bus?"

"I rather you take the bus, your screaming made my ears bleed last time."

I nodded in agreement, "Fine by me. I'll just call Luke for a ride then."

"WHAT?! NO!" I flinched at his 'jumpiness'. "Just get in the car instead. I don't mind your screaming anymore." Yup, something's definitely up.
I shrugged my shoulders and went into his car. Then a question hit me, Why does everyone hate Luke so much? "You ok?" Dylan asked me with concern.


"Huh-? Oh, yeah..."

"Sea."

"It's just a question in my mind - it's nothing Dylan."

He sighed to my stubbornness, "Just tell me Sea..."

"Ok. Why does everyone, including you, hate Luke? I mean, what did the poor dude do to you?"

As is my query was one of the '1 million question,' Dylan had froze. "Sea...there's things you don't want to know. And other things you'll figure out eventually."

"BB-bbut, Dylan! Luke's a really great guy, he can't even hurt a fly!"

"You're learn eventually Sea, sooner -or- later."

---

We finally got to school, I slammed (softly) the car doors. I mean, I don't want to hurt the poor precious car. "Sea...?" That voice, it can't be!

Chapter 13


"Drew?" I whispered quietly and turned around. His bright blue eyes were sparking in the sunlight. Way shinier than Edward from the shitty movie, by the way.

"He-Hey!" He shouted, "How are ya?"

I did an 'ok' sign, which I'm not. Hey, you try living in the same roof with 15 annoying players. "So...when did you get here?"

"Oh! 3 days ago, but I didn't really 'attend'." I just 'hmm', there's nothing else to say to your ex. Yes, Drew's my ex-boyfriend, no heartbreak though. Besides, it's not like I'm going to write a song about my exes...Unlike Miss Pop-not at all Country- Taylor Swift. Drew just broke up with me for Reiley. Don't get me wrong, I really like Reiley. She's a sweet girl, no wonder Drew broke up with me!

"Is Reiley here?"

"Yeah."

"Ooohh, can I talk to her...?"

He had a weird look on his face, "Aboouut?"

"Stuff." Drew just gave me a 'look' and not a good 'look'. "Girl stuff okay, wanna join?"

"Hell no!" He took a step backwards to the main entrance. "Come'on, follow me." I did as told, even though I hate getting boss around. There I saw it, Heather and Aiko, making out. EWWWWW!

I made a disgusted look while Dylan's mouth fell to the floor. Oh no...Aiko's trying to pull on the string of Heather's top. "AIKO!" Dylan shouted with shock, "what the hell man! Not in the parking lot!"

The lovebirds glance at us with red on their cheeks. "Oppos, got carried...my bad-"

"Hey--Sea.." Was the only thing Heather said to me.

"Had fun?"

Her smile perked up, "YUP!"
Dylan did a face palm, please. I'm pretty sure he 'did it' below the bleachers. Okay..maybe in a classroom before also. "So, you going to the party?"

"100%!"

"NOT!" Wow, Dylan and Aiko had to interrupt me, did they?

My cold eyes tried to burn through their bones. "Yes. I. Am."

"No. You're. Not." Dylan mocked with my same tone.

"You're not going to stop me," words coolly even though in the inside, I was shaking. "Mommy."
Heather gave me 'You are so going to get it now' face, which was so right! "Drew, can we please go now?" With that Drew and I left the three of them speechless.

---


"So...you're actually going to the party?" Reiley asked me, in return I gave her a 'Why not?' shrug.

Heather started being a goodie-goodie again,
