"Okay, I think I can pull some strings" Shawn admitted almost cursing himself for doing so.
"And about her, I can't forgive her. I am sure she has some secret she is hiding. I will find out and make her pay" Shawn promised
"How?" She inquired, this was the part she liked best.
"I hope you're smart enough to know you can't approach her by yourself?" She added
"Of course, I know that. I am not that dumb" Shawn objected
"You were dumb enough the first time" she jeered
"She will pay, and well" Shawn smiled mischievously
"You just do your thing and I will do mine" Shawn added
"I am Leah, and I think we will be great partners" she stretched out her hand.
Shawn was confused as to what the handshake was for. For the partnership or for having a deal.
"We are strangers," Shawn said trying to remind her of her early advice
"I won't forget that, now the problem is you. Can you remember to pretend to not know me?" She asked and just then they were interrupted by someone entering the room.
"Young master, sorry to bother you but we have to take her back to the school environment now" the old man bowing, had said
"You are a young master?" She asked wide-eyed. Whether it was excitement or being enthralled, Shawn could not tell.
"It's what they call me. I have tried to make them stop but as you can see, I have failed in that part too" Shawn explained
"Should you not love it? You are one lucky son of a bitch, you have everything and yet don't want it"
"I just don't want to build on someone's legacy. It will hunt me for the rest of my life and I surely do not want to regret my life later on so I decide now and today to build my legacy, to build a name for myself or everything I do would be tied to my father and his legacy" Shawn explained
"You sound like you hate your father," she noticed and with that, she stood up to wish him goodbye
"See you tomorrow, Leah," Shawn said as she made for the exit"
"See you tomorrow, Shawn" she responded
And for the first time in her life, she felt alive, she felt human. For most of my life, I have been lonely and alone yet with Shawn, I did not have to feel so alone anymore.
It was like when she was with him, all her troubles had stopped and the works just seems to have stopped rotating.
Surely, this wasn't one of the times to be catching feelings and emotions that later make one so weak and vulnerable, something she had always detested.
All her life, she hid away. From others, the world around her. For whose protection though? Not herself, but for everyone else. She did not want them to feel how she was feeling.
She did not want anyone to feel hollow and blank. So she overcompensated by trying hard to be kinder and more humorous. When she loved, she loved hard and gave all of herself. There was no question you received all that she was.
When she broke, she broke like a vintage Royal Albert china dish with red and yellow roses on the rim. You can try to glue the pieces back together to be whole again, but it will never be the same. There will be small slivers that are just lost and not salvageable that will never make it back to the dish.
Will she be the same after that? I do not know. Probably not. But she does not dwell on that. She focuses on the now. One day at a time. To make it through each day.
(4 years ago)
They say the best measure of success
is, like, the clique you run with or the accolades you receive.
But her metric was a little different. You wanna how you can tell when you've reached the top? When someone wants to destroy you.
Who wants a bite of her? Trick question
Everyone wanted a bite of her. She knew. So ominous.
You're probably like, "Why is she talking
in riddles when her life looks perfect?"
"Tonight was fun," She said to her love, Tom.
"Yeah. I'm just bummed we're gonna be apart all summer. Who am I gonna play with?" He inquired
"You could play with yourself" she replied
"Oh. You've got some jokes." He answered and kisses her
"Babe."
"Hmm?"
"Tonight was cute and everything,
but you know I think that video is stupid, right? Like, I'm just trying to get into Cambridge, and I need all the help I can get."
"Yeah, of course. Yeah, those lists are bullshit, but you looked very, very hot in that video." He says and inhales
"Yeah? Oh my God. You think so?"
"Yes. You were so hot. You know, maybe you could send me something to keep me company this summer."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, just like a little something." He added
"Yeah?"
"A little video."
"A little video?" Leah asked, puzzled
"Yeah."
"You want me to?" She asked gesturing with her hands over her body and gasping
"Yeah. I love you." He assured her
"I love you too," Leah said
"Can you kiss me?" She begged
"Yeah."
(The next morning, at school)
Leah was walking towards the kicker section with her friend discussing Montana's birthday dinner.
"I don't believe that Montana's actually celiac. I won't choose some random restaurant for my birthday dinner just because another restaurant has a better gluten-free menu." Natasha says
"Makes no sense. Like, she's so selfish sometimes." Leah agreed
"I'm sorry. Am I being paranoid, or is everyone staring at me right now?" Leah asked, puzzled as to why
"And, like, not in a good way." She added, carefully noticing the looks
"She has to be like…" one girl was saying
"Loved your video, Leah." Another girl chipped in and all phones were heard chiming, what could they be sharing?
Another laughs and says,
"Leah."
"What?" I yelled
"What?" I repeated
"Tom" she heard her voice playing over the video, moaning
"Leah, the cam girl." Another guy jeered
"Oh my God." Was all she could mutter and she ran towards where she knew she could find Tom.

Was all she could mutter and she ran towards where she knew she could find Tom "Tom." She started "I'm already on the phone talking to my dad's lawyer," Tom whispered "Um, I gotta go. Thank you, Derek." He finished "Hey." He finally turned toward Leah"How could you do this to me?" Leah asked, tears filling up her eyes"What? I didn't do this. I got hacked." And Leah scoffed "Easy, Mayweather." Tom taunted laughing"This is bullshit," Leah screamed "I'm sorry you feel that way." He responded (At the headmaster's office) "Will your mother be joining us?" The headmaster asked "No. She works nights, so she's asleep." Leah answered with her head bowed"Leah, I want you to know this brings me no pleasure. If you had just come to me when you saw the video, we--" The headmaster started "Oh, so this is my fault?" An enraged Leah asked "

Leah asked regretting why she even mentioned it"What happened to him? Your ex?""Oh, you know, what happens to every guy. Nothing. I'm the slut on probation,and he and his tiny little dick get away scot-free. They always get away scot-free." Leah lamented"Mm-hmm." Shawn nodded in agreement "I know what it's like to get screwed over by someone you thought you could trust. Hell, I know too much about betrayal. When I was 13, uh, I went to day camp with this girl, and she existed on this like…untouchable plane. She glowed. I pretty much already knewthat I liked girls, but I hadn't told anyone yet. But this girl, I guess I thought that if she liked me, it would validate my entire existence or something, and I finally talked to her, and… it was great. Like, she made me feel so free and confident and

It's perfect.With my brains and your… blank slate,we can get away with this. Don't you wanna make her pay?" Leah asked Shawn with an evil smile. "I don't want to make her pay. I want to burn her to the ground." "Whoa. That gave me chills. Do you see this? My arm hair's up. Look at that. You're giving off some serious, like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction energy.But if we're gonna make this work…we have to fix…" Leah started "No," Shawn interjected "…this." Leah continued "I don't want to." Shawn objected "We have to do…" Leah continued, playing deaf to all of Shawn's pleading "Oh, please don't say a makeover." He begged. He was already running out of money and he still had a lot of bills to pay "…a makeover! Yay!""It feels so problematic." Shawn objected "It is, but it's fun! Let's start with her. She'll be a cinch.

Chapter 11The party had only started slowly with less vibe than Leah had expected. And she had been away from Max for a while, letting her eyes scan through the whole place to notice what had been going on."Looks weird, where are all his friends?" Leah inspected after she noticed she didn't see most of the guys he had always been with.She looked around and noticed the girls doing their stuff on the other end dancing to tunes and music."They are the only way to get past Max, I could use them as a diversion when I feel something is wrong. . .""Are you okay?" A voice from behind asked."Ummm, yeah... Anything the matter?" Leah asked. "Here!" The woman said, handing over a glass of wine to Leah."Ohh how kind. . . Thanks," she replied with a smile and grabbed the drink from the tray."If you need anything, just come over to that place!" She pointed with a cringing smile."There? Sure I will, thanks again," Leah smiled and immediately she moved away, she set her eyes back on Max who h

Chapter 12A very bright day with shades of wind blowing over Shawn as he stood by the window, waiting patiently for the call and hoping that Leah had gotten him in her hands. And for a fact, he expected nothing but success because everything had been set for her to win."I believe this will work, something tells me that this will work out well for us, and just when this is all over, I will remind him vividly of who I am again; surely I am not one of those boys he messes with," Shawn thought as he stared into the skies.Just when a thought clicked into his mind, the thought that Leah was going to call him soon. . . He searched his pockets."Where did I drop. . ?" He said as he turned around checking where he had last dropped his phone."Ohh here it is!" He echoed with a smile.He picked it up and began fiddling with him, hoping for that moment where he would see Leah's call at first sight. . ."What if I call her. . .??

The door clicked open immediately when one of the men went out to check who had been at the door."Yong master!!" The guard Saud, bowing for Shawn whose eyes had been like he hadn't had a sleep in days."Are you okay sir?" He asked."I'm fine. . . And don't act crazy!" Shawn said as he walked into the house."Hey, who was that at the door. . .?" Shawn's father came out asking. . ."He. . . Sorry, your son just arrived back home and he has taken the back door into the house." The guard responded."What? He did not care to come in and greet me?" He said shaking his head as he went back into the house, and the guard without saying a single word went back into his station."Hi, mum!" Shawn said as he walked past her into his bedroom without any other word.His mom was confused for a moment thinking she had done something wrong. . ."Hey, baby. . . Are you feeling okay? What's going

Chapter 14Everyone had been quiet about everything for a long time, and no one seemed to be talking. After Leah had caught Shawn with the new girl, she was furious, and immediately disappeared for a full day without picking up her phone. She had gone back to her little house outside of school where she knew no one would come and disturb her peace. She knew she needed the alone time and definitely, staying back at home was going to be the solution for her to find her peace."Wait a minute. . .! Why I'm I angry that I saw him with another girl?" She paused for a moment as the thought lingered in her mind. She knew for once she cared about one of her male friends around the opposite gender except her, and she had no idea why this has been going on and on.I just hope it's not what I'm thinking because if it is, well I don't know but Shawn doesn't have to know about any of this. . ." She shook her head."Did I make a mistake acting that way? You know, maybe I Would have gotten to know

But those memories were going to haunt him forever if he did not find a way to get his friend out of where ever he had been kept captive."Shawn! Shawn!!" A voice echoed from behind as he kept on walking fast. . . Like there was no going back from this."I said wait up!! You have been walking and I have been following you around for the last 30 minutes. . . You have not said a word to me and I have no idea where we are going or where you are taking me." Leah said, finally feeling relaxed that he had allowed her to speak."You will know. . . But for now, we have to keep going, we are almost there!" Shawn said calmly, turning to move on but she quickly grabbed him and pulled him back."You have to tell me what is going on here!" She said. Instantly, she noticed the look by which Shawn had

Chapter 120The alarms sounded, shimmering into the ears of the inmates waking them up from their sleep. It was quite earlier than the rest of the days and that was because it was a special day. Most of the Inmates that had been in the prison for years were finally getting their freedom back and they would be going home finally, after a long, long wait.The timetables for the day had been set and the inmates were made aware of what was going to happen today. New inmates were going to roll in either from a transfer from another prison or sentencing. And at the same time, a few people were going to leave— only those that survived though.It had been said that most of the inmates that would have gotten their freedom the next day were likely killed by their fellow inmates because of envy and other reasons which weren't made known to the General public.Mike and Leah after hearing all of the horrors had their eyes and their ears open throughout the night.

Pedro knew there was a big reason why she had offered to help him with Shawn's issue, even at the same time offering to help Mike and Leah out.She had an idea of how she was going to get them out of the prison. It was not convincing enough but Pedro had a much bigger reason to believe in what she had told him.Pedro was out of town and did not need Shawn's parents, who were in constant communication with him to know what was going on. He had to handle this alone and find a way not to involve or put any of his people in trouble.Shawn's parents needed to see Shawn as soon as possible. They feared that some

So much for the plan you had set up…" she said with a big smile as she gave Shawn a glance from head to toe. It seemed she was liking all that she had seen at the moment."Why are you in these ropes?" Erica asked, pretending to have nothing to do with this, she had on a pitiful face"Ohh fuck! Why is she acting like she has no idea what I am going through? She ordered the guards to do this to me and now she's here acting all innocent. Girls!!! Never to be trusted!" Shawn thought to himself as he shook his head in disapproval.It was just unbelievable. The news had been everywhere that he was the one who murdered her, but here she was standing before him with a scary wicked grin. "Why are you acting like you did not have a hand in this? I know you are the sole reason why I am tied in this fucking—" Shawn spoke furiously as he lifted his hands to show Erica what she had

Chapter 117Shawn had been arrested and was taken to a detention center where he was going to get interrogated by some policemen about the murder of Erica.The news and rumors had been put to bed for a long time since Shawn and the rest of his friends had moved away from the home and anywhere possible where they would have been found.Someone was responsible for this because none of the police officers had wanted to go in search of Shawn, knowing fully well that he wasn't going to be found that easily.The police had been informed that someone was coming to speak to Shawn as they had locked him up in the dark so he would have no idea where he was. He had been there for over two days and was weak. No food, no water, and in the most heated hours of the day when he would find himself sleeping for no reason, he had nightmares, much more times than he would have ever imagined. But the part that got him upset was the fact that he would wake up and not remember what the dream was about. Th

Those were the only words she uttered as her heart shook when she knew she was the one being called."Come with me!! The voice commanded and Leah could feel her legs already tickling to get going before something happened to her.She could feel waves of shivers through her spine. As though it was her fate, her heart pounded like this day would be her last.She rose from where she had sat and tried to clean herself up but there was simply no time for that as the man quickly grabbed her arm ferociously and moved her in the direction where she had seen them take Mike.Now it was getting scary and she could not bear this on her own. She tried to be calm as they approached the area in the yard where there were no lights, and the closer they moved in the more there was a noise up front in the building ahead of them."Where are you taking me?"

Chapter 115Mike's return from the president's office to the yard had caused a lot of problems and had brought so much trouble to him. He had not been told by anyone that he wasn't supposed to get any information from the president because whatever he was going to promise to give was just a scam… it wasn't real.He was not the kind of person who kept to his word, and if Mike had known this, for sure he would not have shaken hands with him. He, for sure, had made a huge blunder on his part. All eyes were on Mike and Leah now. Everyone had their eyes and ears on him just in case he had reasons to be suspected of anything. The men who stayed in the prison longer than Mike did have given an order to the rest of the guys in the prison to watch out for him… when Mike's bunkmate was no exception to this.It had been a few weeks now, and nothing had been mentioned to Shawn by anyone.

One was that he was going to see himself in jail sooner than he expected, or just maybe he was in some serious trouble.Ava took the bold step to twist the doorknob as she opened it. She poked her face slowly through the little space she had created, checking to see who knocked on the door and what they wanted."Bring the boy out… we need to take him with us now!" They ordered, and Shawn could feel the anger and authority in their voice."Who are you talking about? We do not know who you mean, we have not heard that name around here before," Ava said to them with a glare, showing them that she was not afraid of them or the guns they carried around in the name of security."Are you sure you are telling us the truth? We need to know the truth and as citizens you need to be truthful else you will face the law," the officer who stood before Ava lectured her."Crazy

Shawn refused to speak to them about Pedro, who they knew nothing about. They waited for him to come out of his room, and when he finally did, they knew they would have the chance to ask him whatever they needed to know.Shawn stepped out of his room in an attempt to head for the kitchen when the girls walked up on him, blocking him before he could sneak in and out back to his room."What the hell? You shared the shit out of me," Shawn yelled as he held his heart in his hands."We did not scare you, we only noticed that you were trying to sneak to the kitchen to do whatever it is you wanted to do…" they both chorused as they gave Shawn a stern look."No, no!

He felt his body freeze for a minute until he heard his voice mutter."Hello, young master!”It was really Pedro… and how he got to his house, Shawn had no idea but at that moment, there were mixed feelings."I am supposed to hug him? Or I'm just going to stand here and see what unfolds next?" Shawn whispered to himself as he let out a tear."What's going on?" Ava's voice asked just behind Shawn and she placed her hands on Shawn's shoulders."Who is there?" Amelia joined to ask as she walked towards the door where Shawn stood to check why Shawn stood still like a plank of wood."How are you doing, young master?" Pedro asked with a shaky voice and just then, Shawn lifted his face to meet his teary eyes of Pedro. This was a surprise and at the same time an emotional moment for Shawn and Pedro. The two couldn't even hug themselves with the level of emotions that flooded the air.“I… I… am okay!" Shawn responded with a stutter as h
